Alphonse Nickel

Origin
The final member of HLQN, while near nothing is know about where Alphonse was born, who his parents are or anything about his past prior to joining Beacon academy, there are a few things that he will openly admit or that are able to be gleaned from his behaviour and appearance.

He is a faunus, ram horns protruding from his temples and he is quite self-conscious about it, likely having been teased or attacked because of them. This has left him with crippling shyness that doesn't allow him to talk to people he doesn't know.

Weapon
A rifle named 'Austere'. It has no known alternate state but is used nearly strictly with standard rounds rather than dust infused ones.

Semblance
'Stone Bones' is an ability that allows Alphonse to manipulate the density of his own bones, allowing him to endure stronger attacks and deal harder blows, usually with a headbutt if he happens to find himself in close quarters combat (a rare occurrence due to his status as a marksmen/range fighter).

A negative aspect of his semblance is the calcium required to bring on the ability. He will nearly always have calcium supplements on his person in case it is required, most of which were designed by his team leader, Hunter.

Trivia

 * His emblem was designed by himself after learning that other students showed theirs on their clothing, weapons or even tattooed on their bodies. It took him a day, despite insistence from Ozpin that it was not necessary.
 * He keeps his face covered constantly with his scarf so that not even his teammates have seen his face completely. Reason is unknown.
 * When he feels shy or anxious, he refuses to look at anyone unless it is through Austere's sniper scope that he keeps around his neck like a pendant.
