Upon his face he has two red stripe like marks on both cheeks that start just below his eyes. Under his clothing upon his back, are many slash like marks that appear to be from a whip.

Personality
Faythe is quiet and keeps much to himself, often not trying to interact with others. He will rarely connect with others or even bother to get to know them, which causes much problems as he is the leader of his team.

Backstory
Faythe doesn't remember much of his life before living with his uncle, as he was left into his care when he was only two years old. As he grew up, he often would question what became of his parents but time and time again. His uncle would answer him the same way, it was none of his concern and that was all he needed to know. As such, he grew up without any knowledge of who his parents were nor their well-being in the care of his uncle and his cousin. However, his life with them was not an easy one, for he was treated more as a servent than an actual family member. Many times his uncle would call him dunce instead of his name, as such, this made his life difficult.

At the age of 5, he began his work around the house and in the yard, taking care of the animals in which were on the land. However, at the beginning, he did not do much work, for he did not understand why he had to. This caused much trouble with his uncle, often causing Faythe to be beaten by his uncle. One of his uncle's favorite punishments was to whip Faythe's bare back. And he was often told by his uncle that this was the only way he could teach the boy to be a man. However, Faythe didn't believe such a thing and lived his life in misery and fear.

But at the age of 10, upon being into the forest for firewood, he found that his life would never be the same. In those woods, he had seen an old man sitting against a tree. At first glance, Faythe had mistaken the man for a rock but upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a man. As Faythe often felt nervous around people he didn't know, he decided to ignore the man but found his gaze drawn to him. Eventually, Faythe resigned in himself and approached the man, seeing that he was a traveling hunter. Intriudge by that fact, he found himself sitting along side the man and listened to his many stories of his adventures and battles.

Without him even realizing, the day had become night and with a shock, he realized that he would have to return to his uncle, who was likely to be angered that he had been out the whole day. However, before the boy could depart for home, the man had asked of his name. Faythe introduced himself with his full name proudly. The man replied in turn with his own name, that being only his first, Seior. After this exchange of names, Faythe headed home to his uncle, a beating welcoming him. It was later than year, much to the boy's surprise, for Seior returned, but to Faythe's home. An even greater surprise was that his uncle and Seior spoke to each other as if they were friends. It did not go unnoticed by Faythe that his uncle looked displeased at seeing Seior, he called to Faythe and introduced Seior as Faythe's Godfather.

Upon being told that he would be staying with Seior from then on, Faythe didn't hesitate gathering his belongings to live with this man. On the other side of Vale, he was welcomed into his new home by the children who lived near. Faythe was nervous around them, for the only children he had ever known was his cousin and his friends, and they had not been the nicest of kids. So no matter how much the children tried to get him to play with them, he would always stick close to Seior. Seior was not bothered by this and did not force Faythe to interact with them, instead he began to train the boy. Faythe was taught about hunters, how to fight and just what it was they fought, the Grimm. And through this, Faythe got stronger. He lost his childish bulk and frail figure to gain a lean and strong body.

At 13, he began his life in school, teaching him how to become a true hunter. It was also here that Faythe was able to finally find people to call friend. His life was now a better one, one that was more like a normal child in his area and as he got older, he only got stronger, in both mind and body. Through training with Seior, Faythe found his skill with the sword. When Seior felt that Faythe was ready, the old man gave Faythe his old blade, Crossfire. With Faythe continued training, often changing his weapon to see if he got a feel for it, it wasn't until he wielded the spear that he felt the same thing when handling Crossfire. And so, upon this discovery, Faythe asked Seior about a spear. Seior told him he wasn't surprised about this new skill and commissioned a spear for the boy. With the spear, it wasn't long that he mastered both, wielding the spear with his left and his sword with his right.

Weapons

 * Crossfire is the weapon he was given by his Godfather, it is a normal blade with dust infused hilt, containing both red and white dust.
 * Liget is a spear he had gotten commissioned by his Godfather, he had not known what the spear was to be like as his godfather was the one who designed it. It's a long shafted spear with a blade infused with yellow dust, able to use lightning based attacks.

Fighting Style
He mainly fights with his word in his right hand, his spear often being hooked upon his back. He however will wield both the spear and sword at the same time and sometimes just wield the spear with his sword sheathed. When he fights with his sword, he attacks are swift and hard, often able to strike twice in the same movement. When fighting with his spear, he usually uses it when he is too far from his opponent to strike with his sword as well as method to gain distance between the opponent and himself for him to recover in some way. When he strikes with his spear, they are not as fast as his sword, but of a more slower manner. However, they are just as strong as his sword strikes, if not stronger.

There are times when he will use the dust properties the two weapons has, using a combination of fire and ice when wielding his sword. With the tip of his spear, he uses the dust infused gem to fighting with lightning, either to cause his opponent to back off or give them a shock to hopefully end the match.

Strengths and Weaknesses

 * As he hides his emotions, he is able to interact with others in a cooperative manner without having to get attached to them. He can effectively figure out how to use their abilities to all of their advantage.
 * As he has trouble speaking out towards others, he cannot fully communicate with them about his thoughts and often will stay silent, causing trouble as he is the leader of the team.
 * He can lead, even if he has trouble with it sometimes. But this allows him to figure out a way to solve whatever it is he is facing in a manner of minutes.
 * As a result though, he feels that he could not leader others in such a manner, this bringing him down. He will often bring himself down as well, often telling others that he isn't that great of a leader and that it should have been given to someone else.

Semblance
His ability gives him added strength with his attacks and movement, allowing him to strike and move strongly. If his opponent had a high defense, he would use this ability in order for him to strike with attacks that could possibly break through that defense and allow him to strike effectively. Included with this ability, it allows him to step stronger, thus allowing him to keep his ground and defend for an extended amount of time.

However, a down point to such an ability, after he stops using it, he is weakened and rather fatigued for quite some time as a result. Because of this, he will want to take a short rest in order to gain back the stamina he had lost during the usage of the ability.

Also, as an effect from the ability, whenever he activates it, his eyes start to glow a vivid green, which he often keeps concealed with his goggles.
