A music fanatic who spends his free time playing his flute or creating songs. The music he makes, all based on his mood or what he is feeling. He is someone you can seriously rely on when you want something to ease your mind after a day of non-stop hard work.

Despite his love for music, he also loves to read books, especially when the book's genre is horror. He is funny and energetic, loves to tell scary stories and play pranks on anyone.

His personality got some attentions of girls, making him a bit popular. However, he never shows interest to them and just brushes off their presence when they want his attention.

Still, other than his playful and energetic personality, he contains an alternative ego, where he can be serious and give less emotions, his objective being an obligation and his fighting style to change strategically through his thoughts within a short period of time.

Backstory
At a young age, he has many friends and everyday, he plays with them the entire afternoon. His father is a former blacksmith while his mother is a former huntress. At the age of 5, he got an artificial flute made by his cousin from Vale as a birthday present. He discovered how to play the flute by himself and never stopped until then. At the age of 8, he discovers more from the flute he named, Sigma, when he plays a particular set of chords from his flute, it transformed into a lance. He tells his father about this mystery and tells him the whole story behind the process of crafting his Sigma.

When he was 12, he discovered another mystery from his flute after playing another set of chords. His flute transformed into a musket gun. He used the two set of chords from time to time when he joins his mother for a hunt, that's when he learned how to fight the grimm at a young age.

He shares his songs to his friends at the Valley of Ors everyday, playing cheerful melodies and relaxing ones based on the situation. At 14, he learned the final melody, the last set of chords, summoning the third weapon, dagger-edged chains, which he commands by his own will. However, two years passed, he lost a loved one. He and his mother were hunting the grimm until they encountered a massive pack of beowolves in the forest.

Completely outnumbered, they grew tired through an endless battle with the beowolves. Desiring to fight further, Varus' fatigue and injuries trapped his consciousness and fell asleep. The last thing he saw was his mother activating her semblance, the Semblance of Pitch. As he wakes up, he finds himself inside his room and on top of his bed. When he tried to move, his whole body ached and his father came, telling him everything that happened when he lost his consciousness. In the end, he sets his tears aside instead of crying. He planted a cheerful personality afterwards, something that can hide his true emotions from others.

He sets off his journey to find his cousin in Vale for him to discover more of Sigma at the cost of leaving his father, friends and become an official hunter by applying at Beacon, yearning to learn more about the life of grimm and everything around him.

Combat
When his foe is a short-ranged fighter, he usually uses Ria to gain the advantage and uses Io sometimes as well. He uses Ura when he is battling with a massive amount of foes at the cost of his energy. He may have a cheerful personality, but at most times, uses Ura to bind his enemies and stab them continuously until they die, having a brutal process of hastily killing his opponent. He uses Io and Ura to his advantage in fighting whether in the rear or at the front lines. He also uses Ria for support and back-up.

Semblance
Varus wields the Semblance of Melodic Animation, where he can control a specific inanimate object at will after he activates his semblance through a certain melody using his flute. Mostly, he uses Ura but sometimes uses the things around him, but only objects that he can control (e.g. rocks, fire, sand, etc.) for a short period of time.
