Team Members
Name: Malachite Dux

Gender: Male Appearance: Slim of average height with shoulder length black hair pulled back neatly into a pony tail. He often wears a red tail coat with a black waistcoat and black bowtie with a top hat. '''Weapon of Choice''': Scourge

Scourge has three usable forms

1) When not in use Scourge looks like a simple cane with a black shaft and unadorned silver handle. The design of the shaft and handle makes it obvious that Scourge is a sword stick.

2) Rather expectedly the sword is pulled out of the stick revealing a long thin blade. Rather unremarkable apart from the odd lines on the blade making it look like a puzzle of dozens of smaller pieces.

3) Rather unexpectedly the blade splits into dozens of sharp fragments held together by flame proof strands forming an incredibly vicious whip that can cut and tear made all the worse by the fact that it is sometimes on fire.

The fire doesn’t last long however and is primarily used for intimidation or as a last resort, after the charge of fire has been used up the whip needs to return to its sword form and slid back into the cane for a few seconds to be reloaded.

Personality: much like his weapon Malachite has layers, some expected and some unexpected. On the surface Malachite is a cold arrogant person who treats everyone with disdain and when spoken to often treats his peers as though they are below him and unworthy of his company. He appears to treat even his own Adopted family with this attitude but they do not mind and expect no less of him.

His cold arrogance leads most to believe that he is cocky and cruel and to a large extent that is what they see when he is forced to train with anyone outside his adopted family. If he judges his opponent beneath him he won’t even draw scourges blade and will taunt his foe with soft mocking words and looks of cruel amusement and light taps with his cane to the body and softly saying “Dead” when doing so. The jabs and taunts making them furious and then as they attack wildly he will find a way to put them on their back.

If his opponent is his equal he will draw Scourge and fight more seriously with none of his taunts or jabs. These fights are usually fast and vicious as he will refuse to lose but he has never used Scourge as a whip in training. That surprise he plans to keep secret from his peers till it is needed.

Underneath all the arrogance Malachite is incredibly fragile and insecure and one step away from being a total wreck. The only thing keeping him together is Yasmine. His arrogance hides it well and the only time his mask slips is when Yasmine is in any danger be it real or imaginary. If she is involved Malachite fights with a cold fury that is terrifying to behold and a desire to inflict pain that makes his peers pity his opponents, even if they are the creatures of Grimm.

Skills: Malachite uses speed and poise rather than strength, he often waits for his opponent to attack first and to win with a counter attack. He uses no particular style while fighting relying on his speed rather than special thrusts and parries.

'''Aura Semblance''': Fuel.

Very simple, if there is an open flame he can amplify it (Fuel the fire) making a candle burn with the heat of a furnace. While not easily used in combat, Scourge makes this semblance terrifying especially if you get entangled in the whip.

Likes: Dancing, Malachite is a beautiful dancer and often dances with Yasmine for hours as a way to improve their stamina and balance.

Dislikes: Apparently everything. Other people most of all
