- The Comedian

"" """"Jackal Lantern/Hyena Lantern is an OC of Warblooded. He was the former leader of Team JSMN(Jasmine) and a former member of the White Fang. Currently, he works as a mercenary. He deals with escort missions, escorting valuable cargo, particularly dust, in order to prevent White Fang members from raiding them.

Appearance
In addition to his physical features, he stands at 5'11, he has canine ears which he covers with a black beanie and a canine tail.

In terms of clothing, he prefers black or generally dark clothing in contrast to the uniform of the White Fang. Dark grey jacket or coat over a black shirt. Silver belt buckle with two sword sheaths on his back holding his weapon, black shoes and black leather gloves.

Personality
Optimistic, comedic, confident, bright and sometimes sarcastic individual, he never has trouble making new friends. Jacky, as what most of his friends call him, would bombard them with poor puns and terrible humor to the point of annoyance but they stay with him nevertheless because he always had a positive attitude for every situation. And even if he feels down at some days, he never fails to make his friends laugh. He becomes sarcastic and brutally honest and judges everything around him in those days so he can hear his friends smile and laugh with him, knowing that his friends can be happy for him if he isn't gives him this blissful sense of accomplishment.

Semblance
Hye's Semblance is "The Jackal." Upon nearing death or if Hye chooses to call upon him in a time of need, he can summon a fixed clone of himself called "Jackal." Unlike other cloning semblances like Blake's or Sun's, Hye's clone is sentient but his thoughts and actions are completely different from Hye's Jackal is the alternate persona of Hye, he is ruthless, serious, and angry most of the time. He prefers to kill opponents slowly, in some cases even torturing them to death. Jackal even turns on his allies if provoked or even on Hye if he is summoned as a clone.

Even though Hye can physically summon Jackal beside him as a clone, they still share the same body. Because of this, Hye has twice the aura than the average huntsman but most of it goes to Jackal. This caused them to develop different fighting styles. Hye is faster and more agile, preferring to move quicker than his opponent and catch them off guard and finish them immediately because his aura isn't that strong and he can get easily physically wounded. But Jackal is immensely stronger and more durable, he has more aura than Hye so he can take a lot of damage before enemies are able to physically wound him.

However, Hye prefers not using his semblance because Jackal is hard to control. Jackal is naturally bloodthirsty. Even if Hye does summon Jackal, he prefers to use his body as a vessel for Jackal. This is because it is easier to de-summon him from Hye's own body as he would have full control of it and can dispel him anytime.

Twin Kaluwa
Two thick, bright silver swords with triangular tips and grey hilts that curve slightly forward and can be combined to make a double-edged spear for semi-close combat. At the middle section of both swords, there is a rotating mechanism that bends the swords in order to transform into large handguns. This connects the back part of the swords in order to make barrels for the guns with the hilts which containing the magazine of each one while the front side of the gun becomes it's muzzle.

Early Life and the White Fang
Hye and his younger sister, Cathy "Kat" Lantern, originally lived in a farm in the Kingdom of Vale. When Jack was 8, his home was robbed by human thugs. After they discovered that Hye and his family were Faunus, they burned his home while they were still inside. Hye barely managed to get him and his sister out of burning building alive. He was filled with resentment afterwards. But that changed when he discovered the White Fang, an organization of Faunus activists fighting for their rights within the Kingdom. Hye immediately joined along with his sister and they participated in various White Fang rallies across Vale. Pushing for equal rights between Humans and Faunus. However, he never lost his resentment and anger. He only tried to suppress it and it lingered throughout his entire stay in the White Fang.

Five years later, when the former leader stepped down and the White Fang began to become more aggressive in asserting their right in Vale, Hye was one of the first to be assigned to sabotage a local bar that refused to serve drinks to do so. Though he was reluctant at first, he was then reminded about his parents' deaths and finally agreed to doing so. Becoming one of the first to lead an aggressive mission for the White Fang.

When Hye reached his 14th birthday, one year after his first mission, the current leader hinted on giving him a "special gift" for his excellent service for the White Fang. By this time, he was already an active officer and he specializes in raiding missions for Dust, money, and other supplies from large companies like the Schnee Dust Company. However, his missions caused him to lose the respect of his sister, Kat. Kat finally confronted him before he was given his "special gift" saying that the White Fang is changing him and he seems to have lost his ways. He responded by reminding him of the tragedy that happened back at their home. Kat responded again and told him that "Some things are not worth destroying yourself for." Hye merely stayed quiet and walked away to enjoy his birthday.

When it was time for Hye to receive his gift, their leader gave him a small but heavy box then led him to the stage where the curtains seemed to be covering an ever bigger gift. He was told to open the small box and he saw a silver handgun. Then the curtains opened up and revealed four tied up humans. He also told Hye that the four men were the ones responsible for the death of him and Kat's family; and he now has the opportunity to exact justice upon them. Hye started to shiver at stage from the anger and resentment over the death of his family. Kat was watching in despair as she see her older brother lifting the gun over them and ready to pull the trigger. Just when she was about to scream for him, he suddenly fell to his knees and broke down crying. Hye looked at their leader and told him he doesn't have the strength to do it. When asked about what he meant by it, he responded that he doesn't have the strength to destroy himself. Hye kept the gun to make sure it isn't used to kill the people and walked out of the stage afterwards. Ending the celebration and openly defying their leader's wishes for him. He went to Kat and told her that they leave the White Fang in a day.

After that night, Hye realized that the White Fang isn't the best course of action for him and he needed to make up for all the things he did while he was an officer in the organization. He devoted himself in sabotaging White Fang raiding operations. However, Kat wanted to enroll in a combat academy and become a huntress. Hye agreed and said that he will join Kat as it will help in his mission against the White Fang. Then, he pulled out the gun he was given on his birthday and made his own weapon based on it. He made dual pistols that turn to silver swords. He called the weapon the Twin Kaluwa.
