Oliver Browning

"This world is so much more messed up than mine. I've been here for a few hours now and I already met someone who had a tragic life story. I better keep it together now, last thing I need is to die... again."

Biography
Mitchell Brown came from a military family in the peaceful suburbs in the United States of America on planet Earth. He had a decent childhood, a loving family, and an older sister named Amy. His mom worked as a surgeon for the US Army. On her free time, she would teach the kids first-aid to not just help themselves, but others. His dad had recently retired from the Marine Corps. Dad found a way to bond with them, by teaching his kids what he was taught by the Marines. They underwent a lot of training, which included but not limited to exercise, learning how to shoot and improving marksmanship, and hand-to-hand combat. Mitchell took up swordsmanship, because he wanted to learn other types of combat.

One tragic day, the Browns were supposedly killed in a plane crash; but miraculously, they weren't dead. Instead, they found themselves in Remnant. A group of students from Beacon Academy found them in the middle of the forest during their recon mission. They were taken in by the students to tell their story to the headmaster, Ozpin and his associate, Glynda. After telling their story, Ozpin at first was reluctant to take in the Browns, but he saw that they have abilities that can contribute to their school. Ozpin and Glynda gave them a brief history of Remnant and how the Grimm have been threatening them until they discovered Dust. Armed with this new resource, they managed to push the Grimm back and form civilization. The Browns slowly absorbed the information, seeing that it was totally different from Earth. Mom and Dad were then given positions as staff; Mitchell and Amy were sent to a teacher who specializes in weapons production to make their own weapons before they go to their dorms to await initiation.

Personality
He is a somewhat clumsy guy, but he tries not to let it get in his way to get through his life. He is a cautious person to where he is sometimes paranoid. He is self-conscious and does not like to show off his body. He had a handful of close friends whom he is cut off from, therefore making it hard for him to make new friends. He looks at the world as an unforgiving place, but he knows that there's a higher authority watching and taking care of them and tries to keep his faith up. He respects his sister's space and lets her be independent until the time calls for him to be present. He is a critic when it deals with anything regarding practicality.

Appearance
Mitchell is an average kind of person. His height is 5'7, weight is 148 pounds, and is near-sighted. He wears contact lenses to solve his sight issue. He is a Filipino American with light brown skin; brown, oval-shaped eyes; black, butch cut hair; and a light stubble.

His clothing consists of tan military boots, knee and elbow pads, tactical vest, and flex-fit cap (cap worn outdoors); tan and black full-fingered combat gloves; blue jeans (not tucked in with boots); a black tactical sweater with pulled up sleeves (sometimes untouched); and a first-aid kit on his back.

His sleepwear is a simple green t-shirt, black loose-fit jogging pants, and socks.

Abilities
Mitchell is a jack-of-all-trades in life and combat. He prefers ranged-combat but can hold his own in close-quarters. He is trained in basic first-aid thanks to his mom and can heal minor to moderate wounds, but cannot effectively treat serious injuries. He has high stamina and moderate hand-to-hand skills thanks to his training with his dad. His key ability is to familiarize and use almost any weapon that isn't his. However, he cannot properly utilize Aura and has no semblance, making one wrong move potentially fatal in any combat situation. As a result, it increased his fear of death, so he tries to avoid damage as much as possible.

Weapons
M4A1 with masterkey or bayonet attached and extended, horizontal dual mags (Callsign: Anarchic Justice)

Description: Reminds Mitchell of home. It has short-long range capabilites and is loaded with standard ballistics. It has been modified to be able to shoot explosive rounds, increasing damage but sacraficing basic safety. Its stock holds a special ammo pouch housing one dual magazine of his special ammo, making Mitchell save it for any powerful hostiles. It has firing modes semi-auto, 3-round burst, and full-auto. When one of his underbarrel attachments are not in use, they're kept in Mitchell's vest.

Glock 17 with tactical laser light and extended mag (Callsign: Friedenswächter)

Description: It's almost always on his right side in case he needs to defend himself. Its high capacity mag allows him to not reload frequently. Loaded with standard ballistics.

Longsword with collapsible riot shield (Callsign: Slais agus Bash)

Description: A spare set of weaponry with a purpose for being mainly used in tournaments. However, they are also by his side and he'll sometimes leave Anarchic Justice in his room and bring them along with Friedenswächter to keep his swordsmanship fresh. Mitchell can temporarily enhance Slais with any Dust powder by spreading powder onto its blade thanks to it being modified to react to Dust powder. Bash is a clear riot shield and can collapse into a rectangular form to be placed on his back; it doesn't double as a sheath because he couldn't get it to work, so Slais is kept in a sheath on Mitchell's left side. Mitchell can use Bash with Friedenswächter, allowing him to shoot while maintaining cover.
