i work in the paint department at a hardware store, and one of the colors that inspired this team was simply titled "Hunter", it is a shade of green, and being a student of art i can go round and round on the different shades of color but, i have heard the color named Hunter green more than once and it has always been a dark forest green, so it is a legit color. however the team name does follow the RWBY color naming rules as being a word that is "something that makes you think of a color". i know when i hear "hunter" my thoughts immediately go to shades of dark or mild forest-inspired greens and shades of brown.

as for Hunter, he comes from a clan of scottish-inspired people that live in the mountain valley of Meadow. it is a valley with pure natural water sources, lush green foliage and vegetation, and many rock formations that makes it easily defensible against the grimm and serves as a safehaven for the clan as well as for travelers (both Faunus and Human alike! there is no judgement there). The Green clan themselves are a family of respected miners and quarrymen, renowned blacksmiths and gunsmiths, and, even fierce warriors. but their claim to fame in Remnant is the dust that they mine in the valley. unusually potent, the dust from Green Meadows Dust Company is a great product using less quantities to greater effect than the competition but they are not an overly ambitious lot. Being a small "mom and pop" dust company they are not able to compete with Schnee but let their quality items speak for themselves.

As a child Hunter helped his family in the mines by choice and had an uncanny knack for the work. However the long exposure to the pure veins of dust flowing in the mines at such a young age began to change him. the dust infused within him causing his eyes to turn a permanent crystalline emerald green and, after a cave-in where he saved several family by creating a pillar to allow for everyone to get out, bestowed upon him powers over the earth from shaping landscape to creating tremors, mini-quakes, and creating chucks of earth and stone to kick and fling at enemies. However this power is not without limit, and takes a toil on him depending on the level of effort in a task. After a while he starts to suffer from a fatigue that is only replenished through rest or by consuming food and drink (and he does have a appetite!).

After a hunteress visited the village he became fascinated with the idea of traveling around and responsiblity of helping others, using his newfound powers for good. when he became of age enrolled to Signal Academy with longtime friend and present-day girlfriend Nadeshiko Pinku at his side. Once there he discovered that through training his mind and body, he could extend the time it takes before him to feel fatigued.

but thats what i got so far.
