Orion Kane

"Hi, I'm Orion, resident slicey stabber"

- Orion Kane

Appearance
Orion, is a tall, fair skinned boy with messy red/gold colored hair that just reaches his shoulders as he almost always refuses to cut it, saying that "they never get it right." He has rather dark green eyes, which more often than not, are covered by his long hair. He is most often seen wearing well worn dark blue jeans, a black T-Shirt that has started to go gray, and a black leather duster coat which is edged with imperial red Lines along the sleaves and the outer edges. Due to an error while being stiched where the wrong kind of thread was used, the color is only visable from a few angles. which reaches down to his calves. He wears a leather sheath on his back which holds his weapon the SSD. Orion is a student at Beacon.

Personality
Orion has a reckless and carefree personality which often gets him into trouble. He is unable to see the consequences of his actions and belives himself to be invincible, believing that he is simply unable to die unless he decides to. This reckless approch and act now think later attitude has gotten Orion into trouble multiple times. He is friendly in a strange way, one minute he can

be nice then the next he will be cheerfully insulting people, most take offence to it but those close to him know he just likes trying to push other peoples buttons and he fully expects others to respond in kind. He has a good wit and is rather funny, howver he uses his humor to puncture the ego's of those who have an overinflated opinion of themselves. Just by being himself Orion has gotten into several fights without properly understanding why and or how he managed to piss of 8 people, or how flirting with that one girl led to him being stabbed in the neck, in fact several situations have arisen in which he has no clue what happened and how it got to this point. He is also at times rather forgetfull and scatterbrained, losing his clothes and possetions and just hoping they turn up However his personality and inability to back away, and his belief in his own strength often leave orion fighting multiple people at the same time, so he has a collection of scars from ill fated fights. Despite this, Orion is almost always smiling, when asked about why he smiles so much he usually only responds with, "because they cant take it." Orion is also a rather shameless flirt, and his reckless personality has made him flirt with several people whom have returned his afections with violence, due to this, he has several un-Grimm related scars. while he is well liked his reckless almost idotic peronality has baffled his friends and made them wonder if Orion is entierly sane. Orion polarizes people, you either like him or not, there is very little in-between.

Weapons, Abilities and fighting style


Weapon- Orion's weapon is the Slicey, Stabby Device (SSD) when  asked about its somewhat odd name Orion tells them, "because, everyone thinks up really long, imaginative, obscure names for their weap

ons, mine is named for functionality, it both slices and stabs." The SSD is a 1.5 meter long crescent shaped blade which he holds via two handles on the back of the blade. He uses the SSD to slice cut and stab at his oponents. On the spne of the blade are two barrles (They point outwards from the blade stopping 10CM before the edge, so Orion can slice and shoot at the same target.) from which Orion is able to fire, "Dragon's Breath" Dust rounds. These rounds are lethal at a range of 3-5 ft and are able to inflict an injury at a range of 9-10 ft.

Semblance- Orion's Semblance allows him to increase his strength for a period of time, proportional to the amount of strength he is adding. Orion is able to become two times stronger than a normal person, for a period of up to a minute, but he is also able to keep adding to this extra strength, however this drastically shortens the time in which he is strong for, going so low as a second or two. the way the strength time ratio works can be seen bellow.

-2x as strong as normal human 1 minute

-3x as strong 30 seconds

-4x as strong 15 seconds

-5x as strong 6 seconds

-6x as strong 3 seconds

past this point the amount of time is so small that it is difficult to use the strength in the time that is allowed however, it can reach massive proportions in these tiny times. After using his semblance, Orion becomes weaker based on how strong he became for a portion of time equal to the amount of time he spent being stronger. This weakness doesnt affect his speed, senses or other abilities it only makes him able to hit less hard, and with less energy/ strength, for a section of time equal to how long he spent strong. The weakness acts as a cooldown for Orion's semblance allowing him to use it again after the period is over.

Fighting style- Orion has a very upfront and in-your-face fighting style. his reckless personality and his belief in his own invincibility make him a dangerous foe as he refuses to

back down or stop a fight once he has started it. When fighting Orion uses his semblance to surprise his foes with amazing sudden bursts of strength, even if they only last for a second or two. he then offsets the time he spends weakened by backing off slgihtly and using the Dragon's Breath function of his weapon to keep his foes at a distance or even destroy them. His inability to see more than a few deconds into the imediet future and to understand what the course of action he is taking means makes him unsuitable to be a team leader as he lacks the ability to make the best decisions for a team, however he is amazing at following orders as he prefers to be the one cutting and slicing something up, rather than the one saying go cut that up.

History
Born in the Vale  Hunting has always been something Orion loved. Orion's father was a highly succesfull Hunter, whom had to retire early due to an injury which made hunting impossible, he soon turned to drinking to remove himself from his problems. From a young age Orion wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and become a famous hunter. However, upon telling his dad this, his father became angry, he believed no child not even his could be better than he, and years of pent up resentment and anguish at his own failures and his inablility to hunt, boiled over onto his young son. After this, Orion's father began to beat Orion, It became a ritual of sorts, each day Orion would come home and his dad would beat him for 15 minutes to an hour depending on how drunk and angry he was that day. Orion's mother would always step in trying to stop her husband, however, he was still strong enough to hold her off, however she helped to calm him down so he left his son alone.

Two years after the beating's began Orion's mother died, nothing suspicious, she just didn't wake up one morning. Fearing for his life at the hands of his father the now 13 year old Orion, slept with a knife under his bed, and begun to hit back when his father sought him out when he came home. Sometimes he knocked the old man out, especially when he was drunk, some nights he got the holy hell beaten out of him.

Orion took a job just after his mother died, and using the money he had been earning he left home and rented an apartment as soon as he turned 16, never looking back. His father disowned him and called him every filthy name in the book, this final confrontation between the two ended up with Orion's dad with his face smashed through a wall and Orion having found his Semblance. Realizing that inadvertantly, his father had trained him to be harder and stronger than most Orion was smling as he left, as he had finally beaten the old man. This was when heresolved to always smile, so no one could see what he had been through. The only testement to his childhood, his back which was mostly scar tissue from the beating and multitude of scars across his chest and arms.

Quietly getting through Signal Orion's strange manerism's and personality qucikly gained him many friends and enemies, some loved him some hated him. Women found him, and they never wanted more from him than what he gave. The one blight on his time at Signal was the teachers telling him how amazing his father was and how lucky orion was to be his son. On those days Orion gritted his teeth and smiled till his jaw hurt, but he never said a word, never told anyone about his dad.

After being accepted into Beacon orion dedicated himself to his studies and the world of becoming a Hunter determined to be his own man, and to become such a great Hunter and person that people would forget his old man, and any connection between the two of them.
