Seyfert Jaamuni

"Tu vrongs von't going to make vun right. But ve're not vun talk, no?"

Seyfert Jaamuni is a student of the Beacon Academy.

Appearance
Seyfert is an average built young woman with tanned skin, purplish hair, and violet-colored eyes. And being an Owl Faunus, her most remarkable feature is the owl's "brow" which in Seyfert's case is her long bangs that was twin-tailed pointing up, or twin-spiked for the lack of a better word, to the both sides.

Her hunting attire includes ornate cultural garbs, owl-styled accessories, and baggy monk pants. She also wears either a turban or a toga cap depending on the weather.

Personality
Seyfert is a person who's too pragmatic and too much of a realist. She consider instincts the last thing she would ever want in a battle. She always think that tactics, logic, theories, and calculations are enough to get her through.

But due to her father's conditioning to her, she subconsciously puts herself deeper and deeper in a tranced state as her fight drags on. The entranced Seyfert becomes the opposite of what she usually is. She becomes instinctive and reckless but more competent than usual since her weapon only get its full potential utilized when she's entranced.

Seyfert is usually edgy, blunt and straightforward on normal circumstance. But when she's under trance, she becomes bouncy, compassionate, and apologetic.

The polar changes in her personality reflects to Seyfert's parents. The cold pragmatic realist side of her was inherited from her mother, while the warm compassionate and optimistic side of her was partially induced by her father's mental conditioning.

She also has a rather odd vocal mannerism: In addition to referring to herself in the plural, she also has an accent, where she pronounces "W"s as "V"s.

Weapon
Cogwheel of Fortune (name tentative) is a weapon developed by Seyfert's father. In retains it's gear form when in storage mode but could be transformed in three modes. It features varying functions on each of its forms, making it to a very versatile weapon.

Double Blade Form - In this form, the cogwheel portion is divided in half and then shortened. This form enables quick and connecting strikes, The weapon could also be thrown at the enemy in this form and it'll bounce on everything it hits. Once it reaches its set limited number of bounces, it'll then bounce up and back so that it could be caught by the user. This is the most ideal mode against a group of enemies.

Khopesh Form - In this form, the cogwheel portion is shrinked to half. This form's size enlargement enables power strikes and cleaving slashes and also tough enough to block strikes even from multiple opponents at once. Its blunt end and huge curvature also allows the user to hook or trap an enemy in. But its size slightly impairs the user's mobility. This is the most ideal mode for a one on one battle.

Pickax form - In this form, the cogwheel portion is shrinked to half and then split to two parts. This is the middle ground. It is wieldly enough to easily move around and to be thrown but powerful enough to dent a tough enemy's shell.

Semblance
Oculus Nocent (name tentative) - Once under tranced state, Seyfert can now access her semblance. At activation, a quick flash of light and radiation will be released from Seyfert's eyes, therefore affecting those on her line of sight. All dust radiated by her eye becomes overcharged and unstable for a very brief period of time.

Dust-operated weapons that requires regulated amounts of dust power to function properly, such as guns, canons, and launchers would have their attacks backfire or prematurely activate due to the dust inside it being overcharged and unstable.

While the power released by weapons that requires no dust regulation, like jets, boosters, flamethrowers, and blasters, will be instead amplified. But these could become uncontrollable if the user is not skilled enough.

Seyfert will be released from her tranced state right after the semblance's activation.

Fighting Style
On her normal state, Seyfert always acts passively with tact and calculated movements. She will always spend a second or two before she do something big or important. During these moments, everything is a mind game for her.

But once the fight doesn't seem to go her way, she'll start subconsciously tapping on her hidden instinctive side. And if Seyfert was forced to go through such frequently on that moment, her trance form will then manifest.

On her tranced state, Seyfert will now act aggressively through instinct and instinct alone. Tactics and logic will be thrown off the gutter. But in this state she could only maximize the capacity of her weapon and semblance.

Backstory
Everyone might say that mining dust is certainly a difficult job and they doubt they'll last even before they harvest a spoonful of it. To those who live in the mining villages though, getting as much as a cupful of dust won't get their families fed for the day. But this is fine for them. They will always have the choice to mine as much as they could, or they want. No one is forcing them to overwork, or do less work. Everyone is free to have their own quotas, or not have it at all. They can just starve, or be extravagant.

That's also how the young Seyfert and her family had lived through... until a group of people in fancy clothes came along.

Everyday, Seyfert go straight to the mines after her classes at the Signal. She always have to help out her father so that they could reach the quota they've set by themselves.

Most of those who work in the mines are mostly middle aged family men and young men who can already lift up a pickax, and they could easily fill up their own quotas even before noon.

Such is not the case with Seyfert's father. Her father's obvious inexperience and inefficiency on gathering dust keeps him from harvesting enough on his own. Some people said that her father is not accustomed to such occupation since he used to live and work in the city. Her father confirmed it, but he never said the reason why aside from living on her mother's hometown.

Strangely though, even if Seyfert spent less time and done less work than her everyday, she always seem to to yield more dust than the average.

But despite the fact the she had to always pitch in because of his father's shortcomings, she enjoyed all the time they spend together at work. Though she's quite snappy and straightforward about it when she talks to her father.

Seyfert's daily life consisted of school in the morning, work in the mines after that, and a bit of playing "pickax throwing" with her father until sundown.

That's how it has always been until the day when a group of people in fancy clothes, who seemed to be acquaintances with her father, accompanied with men and women in uniform. They've asked specifically asked for her father and immediately walked to the mines when Seyfert said he was at work.

Her father started working on a set of devices fervently, the next day after that. But Seyfert still continued working everyday, even if her father said that she don't have to. They've became more and more distant to each other as her father spent less and less more time together with her as days have passed.

But one late afternoon, Seyfert arrived from the mines only to find out a mess of a house she once called home. While her house looked like it was turned inside out and upside down, it was eerily quiet.

Fear is already welling inside her, but curiosity and worry still won over as she picked up her pickax and walked further inside her home until she reached her father's workshop.

There she found her father surrounded by four armed men. One of them wields a long dagger and a pistol while the rest have longer dust guns.

She could tell by herself that they're evil and they'll hurt her father and even if she try to attack them by surprise she'll just be easily overwhelmed. She pragmatically thought to herself that she won't be of help if she would just charge in and her knees are already shaking just with the thought of it. Her mind is already screaming loudly inside her head to not go in and be involved.

But her actions said otherwise.

She hastily ran in to the room as the armed men drew closer against her father. Then she quickly twirled with her pickax twice and then tossed it to the guy nearest to her. It instantly knocked him out cold after the blunt topside of the flying weapon landed straight on to the back of his head. But the man with the knife quickly pounced to Seyfert and held her hostage as he pointed the dagger on her throat.

Now that she was captured by the them, the situation have now worsen. The father initially planned to fight it out and hold all off them by himself, hoping that they will make noise sufficient enough to alarm the rest of the neighborhood.

But now, he have no choice but to comply to what these men came in to their home for. He opened the safe box in that room and handed the device he's been working on, which was inside of it, to them.

Her father slowly walked back while begging to let go of Seyfert already. Then the man with the knife pushed Seyfert aside and quickly hit her father with a roundhouse kick.

The man then brandished his knife and started walking towards where her father flew off but suddenly stopped when Seyfert tugged on his leg. Seyfert then cried and begged him to stop already. The man, instead, pulled out his gun and pointed it at her.

But as the man pulled the trigger, the gun violently exploded in his hand. Surprised, the other fired their gun on to Seyfert as well, only to have it exploded in their own hands as well. Seyfert then passed out as the guns' explosion also caused a chain reaction on to the dust-filled vials inside the workshop rather easily, which caused a blinding glow and more explosions to burst out.

Two days after that, Seyfert finally woke up surrounded by the same people in fancy clothes inside a fancy room. They said to her that her father left her with them after the incident.

And after she fully recovered, the people in fancy clothes tried hard to explain to her why her father left. They were worried that she might resent her father for it. But even if they didn't say anything about it at all, she already understood why he did what he did.

Then they handed Seyfert a voice recorded and a huge cogwheel-looking object. Seyfert hastily played the recording and what it said was:"Sorry for leaving you, Seyfert. I'd wish we could be together for long. But someday... someday we'll see each other again. But with that, I want you to hear something for me. On the count of three close your eyes. Here goes... 3... 2... 1... Close your eyes and let my words flow in to you... Chalana Pravrtti..." Then suddenly, all the things she learned in the mines with her father, the way they swung their pickaxes, the strange stances they did there, and those times when they're tossing their pickax, welled up in her memories It's the two words that her father have always chanted as they worked.

And then, she picked the cogwheel up and carefully inspected its different forms. And unsurprisingly, the moves she have always done with pickax easily conformed with the weapon's different forms.

Starting that day, the people in fancy clothes took her in as a new family member, but her habits never changed. She still worked in the mines, but now with training herself, in mind. This is how she always relived her times together with her father, until she came to the Beacon Academy.
