Durzan Steelebane

Appearance
Durzan is 5 ft, 11 in and 28 years old. He weighs 210 lbs and most of this is from muscle. His eyes are a lifeless-looking bluish gray. His dark gray hair reaches to the middle of his shoulder blades, with loose strands trailing down his chest and around the edges of his face. He has pronounced cheek bones, thick eyebrows, fairly thin lips, and sunken in cheeks, giving him an overall threatening and uninterested look.

Durzan wears a gray lined black plate breastplate, segmented greaves reaching up his thighs connecting to a belt, and black gauntlets that lay underneath bracers that connect to the breastplate. This armor set is decorated with several light gray risen lines in the armor, spreading throughout the whole set, and coming together at a blue gem in the center of the chest piece.

Personality
Durzan is a very quiet person, who listens to and remembers every word spoken to or near him. He is known for being incredibly unforgiving to those he deals with. He doesn't waste time in fights or conversation, often leading to him crushing the confidence of lesser hunters or students training with him. Although he is a callous person, he does take students under his wing for personal training if they can both impress him and withstand his ways. He believes firmly that any students at hunter academies could become far more powerful than he is. He angers quite easily, but never for petty reasons.

Background
Durzan was abandoned at birth, and raised by other children who lived on the street. He does not know or care to know his parents. He was a violent child, often starting physical fights with other kids for no reason and first shed blood when he was 11, when he killed an older orphan who tried to take food from him. After realizing that he would need the extra help, one of the elder orphans unlocked and explained the basics of his Aura to him. This started his interest in fighting and led to him joining signal academy in order to become a hunter with two goals, he wanted to make sure that the cities of Remnant remained protected from grimm. And his second goal was to accelerate students beyond the bounds of their official training through often dangerous and exhuasting combat missions.

During his stint at Beacon, Durzan often struck out on his own to find challenges to improve his combat skills, and often found more than he wished for, although he never left before completing his self assigned task, coming back to his team bloodied and beaten often enough to desensitize them to the surprise.

Durzan graduated Beacon academy and became a huntsman two years before the events of RWBY season one.

Weapons and Abilities
Durzan only carries one weapon, a thick bladed bastard sword with serrations on one side near the cross guard, which is shaped like a ram. The ram's horns form the cross guard, with two horns on either side that open up and have incredibly small tunnels to the corresponding rune of the blade. This blade is sharpened on both sides and reaches from his feet to the middle of his side if set point first on the ground. He uses this in both a one handed, and two handed style, depending on the situation

Along the spine of the blade are four runes, the first of which is translated to power, and is filled with gravity dust, which he uses to greatly increase the power of his strikes by using gravity to bring down the sword. Has three charges with the effect lasting until his sword changes direction or stops motion.

The second translates to haste, and is filled with wind dust, which pushes the blade through the air, speeding its travel. Lasts for roughly five seconds and has five charges.

The third translates to fury, and is filled with fire dust, engulfing the blade in flame, severely burning anything the blade touches. The fire lasts for thirty seconds and has two charges.

The fourth translates to dicipline, and is filled with ice dust, Which Durzan uses to freeze the earth, or occasionally a target, in order to tip odds in his favor, as he has trained on ice by using this ability. This has only one charge, but the ice is permanite unless thawed or broken

A fifth rune is located on his left gauntlet, that means force, and is filled with earth dust which he uses to create a shield that completely absorbs one blow. This has three charges

Durzan does not know what his semblance is, as he has not discovered it.
