Nigel Stark

This OC is brought to you by EmeraldStag

Put the awesome quote here.

Personality
He's an asshole. Like, seriously. A major asshole. Condescending, narcissistic, egomaniac. He will call you out on your bullshit. His immunity to ignorant bullshit has allowed him to believe himself on a much higher plane of existence than the other idiots that make up the world. That he is supposed to be single most important and intelligent person among idiots.

His attitude towards others puts them off, because he will tell someone just how wrong they are in the most annoying, self righteous, and humors manner he can think of. Or completely dismisses other people and their efforts completely. He may act like this but really he is very sensitive at being called out on his own bullshit and will get upset about it.

Something of note about Nigel us that he has a weird fixation on earning money. No no... no an obsession is more like it. He will keep very close tabs on people who either owe him money, people who he owes money to, and how much he has exactly. Also, never ever touch his hat. You will probably get smacked.

Appearance
Being the person he is, he doesn't need to look flashy or super, and chooses to just put on whatever he has in his closet or dresser. Mostly he wears darker clothing, though a particular favorite of his is a black shirt with attached long grey sleeves and dark jeans. He realllllly doesn't care for making some kind of fashion statement or flashy outfit like some of the other hack-job self-proclaimed Hunters and Huntresses.

Oh right. How he actually looks! Right...right. Neck length black sprawls under a black beanie and covers where his ears should be. His eyes are a striking and beautiful Blue....which is made less so by his outward persona. He is like, 17 years old, probably, who's counting really?

Around 5ft in height and a skinny but muscular body type. Atop his head is always, without exception a hat or beanie of some kind  but underneath hides a terrible secret: Cute bunny ears. Cute bunnies ears the likes of which would undermine his entire persona. He will probably gut punch anyone that tries to go for it.

Backstory
All things considered, Nigel  lived a pretty decent life, both parents alive with a kinda long history of Huntsmen in the family. At a young age, Nigel became aware of all the stupidity and little white lies his parents, and other people told him. He paid close attention to strangers around him, and listened in on their conversations. Some of the things he heard were just so stupid and ignorant that he knew that he did not want to grow up like that.

On his father's side, which was human, was a long history of successful Huntsmen and Huntresses, including his father. His mother... lets just say she wasn't exactly a model citizen, but really was a good person at heart. Did I mention she was a Rabbit Faunus? Yeah I know, totally original. But it works in this character's case I guess Anyway, she cares for her family and Nigel lovingly and just wants to settle down with his father and live a long, happy, and safe life together. The problem was that she owed some pretty bad people a lot of money that she couldn't pay back.

Nigel's father suffered a horrible injury, namely the relocation of his arm inside the stomach of a Grimm that ended his career. He was adamant about not wanting a robotic replacement and chose to work a simpler job. One night while his father was working a very late shift at work, dudes in black suits arrived at their home. Let's say Nigel is around 9 years old at this time. The men broke into the house and had a small chat with his mother. Nigel was anxious; the only thing keeping him calm was the fact that his father should be home any minute. But he never came

They then beat the shit out of Nigel's mother right in front of him after lying through his teeth about how everything was going to be fine. Seeing his mother as a bloody mess, Nigel got pissed off and tried his damnedest to fight back. They laughed at his futile attempt, swinging his tiny arms at them doing little more that tapping on them. Though, a good strike to the groin caused the guy he was hitting to get pissed as well. Nigel found himself being kicked across the room with an aura powered kick that cracked the wall as he hit.

The men took anything of value and left them like that, with his dad coming home and calling an ambulance. In the hospital, his mother faded in and out of consciousness. Nigel's injuries were not as severe as his mother's thankfully and he was slated to make a full recovery. His mother suffered fatal wounds and internal bleeding that couldn't be stopped. After a final conversation, with Nigel and their family, she went to sleep and never woke up.

He took the loss pretty hard and shut himself off from the rest of the world. But at some point, he was able to go back into that shitty place and demand to be known as the best, the strongest. He had little fucks to give out to stupid asshole and felt that the world was generally filled with shitty people. The only thing that mattered was money, fame,  and success.

He didn't approve of the idea of becoming a Huntsmen at first, he felt like it'd be a waste of time and money. And the fact that his father was missing an Arm because of it was not very appealing to him. But then he learned how awesome it really was, being able to hunt down and kill huge and powerful monsters with cool weapons.

Not to mention the huge payout for the services of a huntsmen and the many prizes from combat tournaments. The idea finally interested him and he set to work at huntsmen schools his father recommended. He can be a lazy asshole sometimes, but putting his mind and effort into becoming a Huntsmen really brought out his determination.

Most of his extended family couldn't stand Nigel and what he had become, but his father still kept on training and backing him up in the belief that he would shape up and become a decent human being at some point. That never happened though. His father also put him through a huntsmen training school and into various tournaments to try and get some exposure to the world at large.

Yet he gained a very poor reputation, and after a few tournaments he was definitely well known through his victories and how much of a horrible winner he was. Many tournaments would outright deny him entry because of how he treated both the combatants and the audience. He had one final tournament, The Dust and Steel Tournament, before he would go off to Beacon Academy. It was his last chance to gain celebrity status and hopefully some kind of sponsorship similar to that Nikos girl.

What happens after that well, that will be in some kinda trailer fanfic thread thing.

Weapon and Abilities
Ignorant Face Smashers

Ten metal meteor hammers are connected together by long chains, into  two groups of five. Each chain is then attach to gauntlets. When fighting, the meteor hammers float around through the power of seemingly magic they float around. For a defensive tactic, they fly fast and smash into the ground repeated around the user. The metal balls open up to reveal teeth very similar to bear traps. Due to the nature of this weapon, it is fine against single enemies, but its strength shines against multiple adversaries, just smacking them around repeatedly until they go down.

This weapons has a second /form/ by which the meteor hammers stack onto each other. They travel down the chain and cover each fist, locking into place with the gauntlets to form thick boxing gloves. The excess chains flow down each arm, and with each punch send the chain flying forward similar to whips. When using this form, his fighting style changes to something akin to dirty boxing. He will use any kind of dirty move or tactic he can think of in any fight. As long as it helps him win that is. The metal fists can then be shot off like rocket punches from giant robot anime.

Abilities
He has immunity to ignorant bullshit that comes his way.

He can see when an idea is stupid, and call out people on their stupid ideas or actions.

Calculating the exact amount of money visible with just a glance.

When concerning money, he is able to do all kinds of maths to determine exact costs.

Semblance
Aerokinisis

He is a literal bag of air. Nahh not really. He can just manipulate air currents around him, but cannot use his ability to create air currents directly. It can, however, use the air currents of other objects that are swung around to control and manipulate however he pleases. Using the small air currents that are generated from swinging around his Meteor Hammers he can keep them in perpetual movement and 'fly' however he wants them to. The only thing it can't do is increase the power of the air currents, and only by the power of his swings can the air currents get stronger.

Trivia
1. I like to think that this character is inspired by two different sources, the first being Dante from the Good Devil May Cry games. The other source? Something Witty Entertainment's Sword Art Online Abridged Kirito and his wonderful personality.

2. Nigel is derived from Neil, which means Champion or Cloud. Though for the sake of Color, I would like to point out that Nigel was commonly associated with the latin word niger meaning black. So let's go with Champion of the Black Clouds? That work for you guys?

3. I will be writing up one of those Fan Fictiony Trailers for Nigel that shows part of the Tourny and what happens afterwards. Will be nice to write something that isn't just a small post for once!

4. His bunny ears match the color of his hair, which is black.
