Tenebris Mordre

"out there may be monsters but in you there's a dragon, emerge from the cave and let the world hear your roar"

Tenebris is a character that i have created to be part of team CBLT. All images used are ones that i have designed myself.

Appearance
Tenebris wears a black shirt with a Purple waistcoat and black blazer. over this he wears a black hooded cloak that is fastened with 2 silver dragons that linked with a chain. Tenebris also wears a black mask that regulates his abilities. He has purple eyes and black hair tied in a ponytail.

Personality
Serious, keeps to himself, cares for his teammates. although he's normally calm, he completely snaps when he comes face to face with Grimm that resemble Dragons. He puts his friends first and likes to have fun and enjoys parkour.

Abilities and strategy in combat
Tenebris is tactical when it comes to fighting. He uses his velocity glyphs to move around at extreme speeds to confuse his opponents. he is light on his feet and combines this with his weapon's scythe mode to make him a deadly adversary.

Semblance
His semblance is called velocity manipulation. He creates purple glyphs that can do anything from slowing down objects to speeding them up. this can increase the power of his crossbow shots. He can cut the speed of an object in half. He can speed up objects to up to x3 the original speed however, he refrains from using it to that extent as it can push him too far and use too much aura. By concentrating, he can create a black energy that he can then mould into bolts for his weapon's crossbow form or conduct through his sword. when this energy hits something, it accelerates the vibration of the atoms causing the object to break. the projectiles do have a limit to how much they effect, one bolt fired at regular speed effects a 1ft radius.

Weapon
Spiritus Draconis: A crossbow scythe hybrid that he carries on his back where the 2 parallel black and purple blades fold out to create the arms of the crossbow. this mode fires bolts made from his dark energy. Tenebris can produce 6 bolts before taking a small rest.

Dragon's claw: a one handed longsword that Tenebris usually has as a last resort, which he wears in a scabbard on his belt. The blade is made out of an alloy that conducts his energy, allowing him to fire off waves of it by slashing. The metal it's made out of is a special alloy he calls umbral steel, it was created when black dust fell onto the steel bar when he was forging his blade, it has a black colour with feint purple veins running through it. It's slightly more durable that regular steel and is noticeably lighter.

Weakness
His powers rapidly drain his physical stamina, meaning he needs to rest between big attacks or risk passing out. Excessive use of this power while not regulated by his mask can cause him to lose control. increasing the power of his shots makes them harder to aim. He can't break apart targets with aura (living creatures). With his ability, he cannot take down large structures such as buildings without first completely losing control, which is very harmful to him. Objects can only be effected by a bolt if they are pierced by one.

History
when he was young, his town was attacked by a Grimm dragon and he watched as it was engulfed in flames, through this he unlocked his semblance. His whole body felt like it was burning then everything turned black, he was found by a team of huntsmen lead by a huntress wearing a black hooded cloak lying in the centre of a giant crater where the town used to be. Tenebris was brought to the huntress's home. He stayed in vale until he was old enough to officially become a student at beacon.

He was personally mentored to control his ability by the huntress that found him. She found a connection with him and whenever he was scared of the Grimm, she often said to him “Out there may be monsters but in you there's a dragon”. Through training, he learned not only that he can conduct his ability through his sword but he could also give it physical form as bolts for his weapons crossbow form.

After the huntress was killed, he walked into an abandoned town letting all his hatred and sadness draw in a swarm of Grimm and erased them all along with the buildings around him leaving nothing but darkness scattering in the wind. Since that day, he named his weapons Spiritus Draconis and Dragon's claw because of the phrase the huntress used to say to him and has donned her cloak and a black mask.

When he first became part of team CBLT, he kept his distance from the other members, Bruin was persistent on becoming friends. One day, Celica (the team leader) was being picked on by another team for being a faunus, Tenebris didn't think twice, he intervened and defeated the leader of the team in a duel. After that day, without even realising it, he had started opening up to his teammates. He trained with Bruin every chance they got, improving in both marksmanship and swordplay. After the fall of beacon, they travelled to atlas to stay with Bruins parents while they recovered.

Affiliation
Team CBLT: Tenebris is the sniper of the group, using his glyphs to fire at incredible speed and keep his target disoriented by moving from place to place.

Dragon-like Grimm: He hates Grimm that resemble dragons with a burning passion as fighting one triggers his PTSD of the night his village was attacked and sends him into rage that makes him lose all sense of compassion and mercy.

Trivia
Tenebris is based on sir Mordred the knight that betrayed and eventually killed king Arthur.

Tenebris means darkness so his full name Tenebris Mordre refers to the darkness in Mordred's heart leading up to his rebellion against the king.

The link between Tenebris' hatred for dragons and sir Mordred is that King Arthur's last name was Pendragon.
