Reed Chernobog

Reed Chernobog is an original character created by Hyper Zergling for the RWBY universe.

Appearance
Reed is a moderately-tall male teenager with brown eyes and short brown hair. Reed’s attire is almost entirely black, consisting of a shirt, pants, boots, and an unbuttoned trench coat that is trimmed with deep red. Reed’s aura is red in color.

Abilities & Powers
Like many of the other students training to become huntsmen, Reed possesses a great degree of strength, speed, and durability. Reed’s weapons, the Daijuto and Shojuto, are a pair of large semi-automatic pistols with foldable katana-like blades. Daijuto’s blade is 70 centimeters in length, while Shojuto’s is 50 centimeters long. For ranged combat and when holstered, Daijuto and Shojuto are kept in pistol form, with the blades folded up next to the barrels. The stopping power of the pistols’ bullets are of moderate strength, capable of killing human-sized Grimm in no more than three shots.

Reed’s semblance is named Aura Weapon Extension. For a single solid object he touches, he can extend aura from said object with a volume of up to 800 cubic centimeters in the shape of said object. In practice, Reed can create a larger blade of aura over Daijuto that is twice as long and three times as wide, giving him a substantial increase in reach without increasing the weight of the weapon. Reed can also use this semblance on day-to-day items that can be held in the hand, such as books and writing utensils, although usefulness of applying his aura in this manner is questionable. This semblance works on nearly all objects within two meters in length – Reed would not be able to create such an extension from the surface of a vehicle, a bookshelf, or a large flagpole, for example.
