Stats
Health: 5/10

Bergen is a decently sturdy individual. While rather skinny, he can roll with the punches to a cretain degree.

Attack: 3/10

Until he was accepted into Beacon, Bergen never had to attack or fight anything. Thankfully, his adaptable nature allowed him to think of ways to deal with opponents without head-on confrontation.

Defense: 4/10

Before coming to the Academy, Bergen had only gotten in the occasional street brawl with his friends at the village. He had never been seriously injured, and had never had a bone broken. As such, being knocked around is a new experience for him.

Speed: 8/10

Bergen is quite light on his feet, and agile enough to dodge many attacks. His true speed lies in tunneling. He can dig a hole faster than the fastest non-speed semblance student can run.

Intelligence: 9/10

While he maintains a happy misdemeanor on the outside, Bergen is actually a tactical geinus on the battlefield, and is often at least three steps ahead of his opponent. Thanks to his killer intellect, he has beaten opponents many times stronger than him.

Traits
Weapon: Earthswimmer

The Earthswimmer is actually a pair of large fossilized tusks belonging to a long-dead Boarbatusk. They are attached to the top of Bergen's forearms, curving Over his fists. The front end, protruding from Bergen's fists, has been whittled down to a large, flat shovelhead. Two Chainsaw tracks have been fitted vertically, parallel to each other onto each shovelhead to assist in burrowing. The back end, which runs along Bergen's forearm and protrudes from the elbow, is sharpened to a straight single edged blade. The tusks were fossilized so long ago that they became as hard as diamonds, thanks to the pressure the earth exerted on them. The chainsaws are powered by a compact engine of Bergen's own design. The engine is powered by Dust, however, and has a limited amount of fuel.

Abilities: Bergen is most at home underground. He fights best when he is standing on earth, or soil. Thanks to this, he constantly fails the official duels that take place inside the school. Bergen's semblance allows him to launch himself in any direction, provided there is something he can launch off of(ex. He cant use it while in the air). It is quite useful for maneuvering underground. His most notorious ability is his tunnelling method. By jumping and somersaulting rapidly through the air, Bergen can dive straight into the ground, provided it is soft enough. He can then travel through the earth at reasonable speeds, and launch himeslf out of the ground to attack enemies. He used this ability during the initiation to avoid injury upon landing, however, he burrowed straight to the ruins without encountering any other students, or Grimm(probably due to his peaceful nature). Bergen's entrance into the school is also thanks to this ability. Bergen Actually surfaced in the middle of an orientation at Beacon.

Fighting Style: Bergen is not exactly the best fighter at the Academy. He has, however developed an affinity for guerrila tactics. He uses hit and run strategies to take out opponents without having to expose himself to much danger. Guerilla Tactics borrows techniques from both modern-day special ops techinques and ninjutsu, allowing him to blend into shadows and take down unsuspecing targets with relative ease. If he is in a short, quick fight, he can plant his dust containers like remote explosives, and use them to disorient his enemies.

Personality: Outwardly, Bergen is a very laid back individual who prefers peaceful resolution to physical violence. He is also sort of a misfit, and is classified by many as "goofy," much like Jaune Arc. However, his happy misdemeanor hides an incredibly keen intellect. He has a philosopher's mind, though he never shows it on the outside. While heterosexual, Bergen shows almost no interest in women, and is completely oblivious to sexual advances. Bergen also shows no bias against the Faunus, possibly due to his secluded upbringing. He merely regaurds them as one of many new experiences. Bergen is also quite an emotional person. When he escaped his village, he dug for hours, fueled only by the raw emotion of never being able to go back.

Appearance
Bergen is a tall, caucasian male with mid-length brown hair. He wears a brown hoodie with white, furry lining. He wears brown jean pants that are frayed at the bottom. He wears a pair of goggles over his forehead, but swaps them out for glasses in his downtime. He wears two belts under his hoodie with pouches that contain the Dust he uses to fuel Earthswimmer, one container of Dust fuels the weapon for about a half hour. According to him, his clothes are only brown because of all the digging he does. His associated color is brown.

Backstory
Bergen was born in a small town in the western mountains, known as Nachthiem. While very fertile and lush, this town was thought impossible to get to due to the extremely hazardous terrain surrounding it. It was even rumored to be in the eye of a never-ending blizzard that constantly changes thelandscape around it. The people who live in this town are very in tune with nature, and have developed methods of using the land conservitavely. Bergen had been fond of digging his whole life, and had built his own personal mine shaft underneath the town. One day, he excavated a pair of fossilized Boarbatusk tusks, now known collectively as the Earthswimmer. He worked for days on end, chiseling them to just the right shape to dig with. However, when Bergen showed them to the village elder, he was banned from entering his shaft ever again, because of the common superstition that Boarbatusks brought bad luck. Devastated, Bergen developed a plan. He had been developing motors powered by dust that gave his tusks chainsaw-like abilities. That same night, he burrowed into his shaft and stole back the tusks, and fitted them with the motors. However, the guards heard him, and he was forced to retreat using an untested burrowing technique uning the tusks. It worked, and he escaped the mountain. He burrowed for hours on end, fueled by the emotional conflict of never returning to Nachthiem. He finally surfaced right in the middle of a Beacon orientation. However, his Dust supply had been completely depleted, and he was practically unconscious, being driven forward by muscle memory alone. After being taken to the infirmary, Bergen was put on trial for illegal entry and destruction of property (he drilled right through most of the topiary), but the current Headmaster saw hunter potential in him, and granted him a scholarship to Beacon under the guise of a "disciplinary education." In addition to classes, Bergen works as a groundskeeper of sorts to pay the bills for things like textbooks and field trips. While not at all a natural fighter, Bergen is eager to learn new things, and actively participates in his combat class.

-Bergen is actually a Mole Faunus, because of his affinity with the earth.

-Bergen was raised by Boarbutusks.

-Bergen can see in the dark
