History
Born on the larges island of the isles of Solaria. Antares was forced to move to Vales with his father, to escape the civil war that was happening at the isles at the time. Antares started off at Signal with a chip on his shoulder, he was prideful to say the least, and wanted to unite the facility under his rule. Antares Joined the student council, he worked his way up through the food chain with his surprising knowledge of the things wrong with the Facility, and his likeable personality, he went out of his way to make the students like him and it worked. While there he met a Faunus named Blossom and they grew close together, but she moved away after getting bullied to the point of trying to kill herself, after that day he's fought for Faunus equality. However his rise to presidency didn't happen until a year later. Antares won the election with a landslide of votes, with his speech about making the school safer for Faunus, and his promise that Signal will change for the better. The group started off harmless at first under Antares rule, until Antares got an idea in his head that he wanted more power. Antares manipulated the rest of the student council members into being more assertive in their approach to student learning. Antares and his followers enforced several rules that all students must fallow, the main rule being no bullying especially to the Faunus. Those who didn't obey the rules would be challenged to a duel with one of the members of the student council in secret.(Antares personally put all of the strongest fighters at Signal on the student council) Mr. Shade the combat director at the time supported Antares idea of a school dictatorship, and covered up the duels claiming it was just an accident. Most of the teachers trusted Mr. Shade, and nobody told on the Student council, not with Mr. Shade watching there back. The student council ruled Signal's students for years with Antares in charge, because of his strength, skill, and ruthlessness in the combat arena. Antares and his followers were kicked out of the student council, after a battle broke out between a handful of students and the student council, over Antares enforcing the increased price of milk at the cafeteria. Antares and his followers told the headmaster and the police that Mr. Shade made them do it, and that he was the true mastermind, which was kinda true. Mr.Shade was fired and arrested for encouraging Violence and other charges. A year later it was found out that Mr. Shade had plans of ousting the headmaster, because of always living in his shadow.

Antares arrived at Beacon with his three closest friends from student council. They joined up in the emerald forest and found their Relic a paint brush. They soon formed Team ARTS. At school Antares and his team would get into fights with strong opponents, and he would also get into fights with kids who bullied the Faunus. He was nicknamed a Faunus lover by some of the kids in his class, however it never bothered him. One day when he was walking home to Beacon, Antares got knocked out by an unknown Faunus kid, the kid then stole his sword when he was down. Antares was then beat up by a couple of humans who resented Antares for helping the Faunus in their class. Antares put up a good fight but lost in the end. Antares crawled back to Beacon and was fixed right up by the nurse who was shocked to find out that nobody came to his rescue. Antares was confused, he didn't know what to do, suddenly his Team came into the nurses office. His Team wanted revenge for what happed to Antares. Antares had only one thing on his mind though "I need to get my sword back" Antares made that sword with his own hands and it was his duty to get it back. His Team refused to let him leave without rest, but Antares was head strong about it, so they decided to sneak Antares out of the nurses office. They located the sword in a abandon warehouse outside of beacon. The warehouse was the property of a gang of thieves called the "Blue Bloods" a group of Faunus and human's that worked together to steal fancy items from rich people. Antares's team attacked the warehouse with Antares sitting back yelling out orders. While his team was fighting the Blue Bloods Antares found his sword on a table, he grabbed the sword, but suddenly he was attacked from behind, because of his injures Antares had no choice but to use his semblance, Antares hated to use his Semblance because of how dangerous it can be, but he had to his friends needed him. Antares semblance created fear in the Thieves, These thieves have never seen a semblance up close before, they were out matched, and were forced to flee. When they got back they were grounded for an entire month for evading curfew. After that experience Antares learned that he shouldn't act all high and mighty just because he was born to think that way by his mother, he vowed that he would help everyone that needed his help not just the Faunus, but all living things.

Antares graduated a few years later from Beacon, and became a hunter with his team, however it wasn't meant to last. Antares lead several campaigns against the Grimm, getting him the Nickname The Fiery Joker, however after a failed mission that got one of his team members crimpled from the wast down the group spilt up, and decide to go different ways. Antares traveled the world of remnant on his own helping towns that had Grimm problems, as well as arming them with whatever he could find, training them, and leading them to stand up to the Grimm. After a while of traveling he started to hate killing Grimm, to him they weren't a challenge anymore. He retired as a hunter, and bot a House in Vale with the money he earned from traveling. Antares collects' rare items from the past as well as collecting dust for when he needs it. Antares also calls up his former team to see how there doing, there lives are just great, but would gladly join Antares again if they could. Antares took up a job at beacon as a Teacher, thinking that he could teach the next generation not to make the same mistakes he made. He teaches Survival tactics, a class dedicated to surviving on your own.

He can handle pain very well, being stabbed, shot and punished mentally, and physically daily. Antares is a master of the Ardendu style, a fencing style that creates a powerful defense that counters most attacks. He's pretty strong but nothing to write home about. His body is covered with scars that have healed over the years, however they do bother him to the point where he needs to itch them sometimes. Antares is pretty health exercising everyday, and eating a balanced diet.

Appearance
Antares mostly wears a half red, half black, and half white robe, that goes all the way down to his feet. He has a golden pendent on his right shoulder. The golden pendent is a hand thrusting up in victory with Thirteen stars around it, representing the number of important victory's he has won against the Grimm with his team. The Robe is implanted with fire dust, allowing Antares to control the element of fire. Antares has Silver short spikey hair, with bright Sapphire colored eyes. His eyes turn crimson red, and his hair burns like fire when he uses his semblance Final Wind. Antares has fair skin with rosy hues, a widow's peak, rather small eyebrows and thick, shoulder-length.

Weapons
Antares's wields Vesta a sword that he crafted at Signal, its a Beautiful white/golden long bladed sword that's strapped to his back. The hilt has several animals plastered on it. A Tiger, Dragon, Unicorn, Bear, Wolf, Serpent, and a Phoenix. The blade is also really shiny, with it being cleaned everyday even when he doesn't use it. He has upgraded Vesta over the years with its sheath now being able to carrie several dust deposits, an being able to switch to different types with a simple motion (look at Raven Branwen sword for an Example on how this sword works),but rarely uses it since he can cast and create fire swords out of thin air, because of his clothing. He only brings out Vesta when he's serious. He can duel wield two regular fire swords or he could try to trick his adversary's by wielding his real sword in one hand and a fire sword in the other.

Abilities
His offensive style can be described as Accurate and deathly and his defensive style being described as like a unbreakable fortress. He knows many things about dust and how it can be best used out of combat. His biggest weakness is long ranged fighters. He has no problem fighting gunmen but his style was built around fighting melee wielders, he will need to get out of his defensive form to get them, which he hates to do since he doesn't wear armor. He uses a lot of dust in combat, more then he should, and is a bit careless with the destruction he brings. His Aura is red, and mostly uses it to fuel his willingness to fight in battle. He can create swords of fire, That skill comes from his clothing which is made with red dust, his outfit can also create fire balls, fire Glyph's, and explosion, however if his robes get wet his attacks will do less damage. He can also light his sword on fire to make his attacks more deadly, however if his sword gets too hot it will burn his hands.

Semblance
Final Wind: Antares can activate his secret semblance called Final Wind, which boost's his attack, speed, and strength at the cost of his defenses, meaning he can't block. To use this semblance the user must always be running, never stopping even once, if the user even stops for a second it turns off. The longer the semblance goes on the more powerful it gets, however if the user goes too fast they won't be able to control their body, and in worst instances will fade out of existence.

Personality
Antares has a very cocky attitude when he's just laying around doing nothing, but when he's teaching, or in some circumstances when he's fighting, he will be very Emotionless and serious with his words, like he's a completely different person. When he's off from work he's very laid back. Antares Wants a challenge since he hasn't faced anyone that powerful of late. He's a great teacher and role model to his students, but not in the way you might think. Serious when he needs to be, like when he meets a strong adversary. Will gladly sacrifice his life for others. Holds nothing back when he needs to. Loves his students and will do anything for them. Antares likes to burn things when he gets mad usually bits of paper nothing out of the ordinary.

If you become a real close friend with Antares he will give you a nickname. Likes to give people nicknames based on their personality, clothes, combat styles, and color. Likes to play jokes on people nothing mean-spirited of course, just harmless pranks. He's terrible with technology for some odd reason, computers, TV's, even microwaves won't work for him. Can't cook to save his life. When he does try to cook run. Likes to draw but sucks at it. Respects women. Lecture's his enemy's after he defeats them hopefully to put them on a brighter path.

Styles
Antares created his own fighting style called Ardendu style, and was very fond of chaining hand-to-hand combat strikes with this style, and for creating powerful counters. Ardendu relied on tight blade work and subtle dodges to provide maximum defensive coverage, and to minimizing exposure to ranged weaponry. Ardendu relied on economy of motion and energy efficiency, keeping up constant blade-movement to build up momentum and minimize energy-expenditure. Ardendu was a defensive style creating a powerful defense few can match. The draw backs to this style are that its a non-aggressive style. its doubly affective when using two swords. The user holds the sword in front of them sideways like in the picture.
