Sable Kain

Sable Kain
"Hmm... Sable's a cunning fighter, quick on his feet and can fight for hours on end. I believe he will do well at Beacon as long as he doesn't have to interact with to many people" Sable Kain is an original character in the RWBY universe.

Appearance
Sable Kain is of average height, slim build and pale complexion. However, he is quite muscular and athletic. His right eye is a pale blue, almost the color of Ice. His left eye is nothing but a scarred empty socket that he keeps covered with a black eye patch that bears his emblem. His short black is always unkempt and messy.

He wears a black floor length cloak and typically wears his hood up, in order to conceal his features. Underneath the cloak, he wears a simple black t-shirt and combat pants. He wears a brown leather belt with a simple silver buckle to hold his weapons. His choice of footwear is his brown combat boots.

When he has to wear the Beacon school uniform, he will forgo his cloak and belt.

Weapons
Sable Kain uses two weapons: Showstopper and Plan B.

Showstopper
Showstopper is a KAPD (Kinetic Absorption Parrying Dagger). Showstopper is a simple weapon, devoid of any ornamentation. It has one ability that makes it stand out, and be worthy as a hunter's weapon: Kinetic Absorption. It absorbs the kinetic energy from attacks, allowing it to be used to block heavy attacks that a dagger would not normally be able to parry or defend against lighter attacks with no apparent loss of speed on the defenders part. However, the kinetic force is dissipated, so any force absorbed can not be used in an offensive fashion. It is a straight bladed parrying dagger with a simple wide hilt designed for catching opponents blade. Its cross-guard and pommel are are made of simple steel. Its hilt is wrapped in a faded leather and its blade is made of a strange light blue metal.

Plan B
Plan B is a NNLS (Non-Magnetic Non-conductive Long Sword). Plan B is an even more simple weapon than Showstopper. It is an seemingly ordinary long sword that is well made and incredibly sharp. It is made of nonferrous metals, so it is not affected by magnetic fields.

Aura and Semblance
Sable's aura appear as a black shadow that seems to consume the light around him when in use.

Sable refers to his Semblance as his "Shadow Plate". His Semblance allows him to take the shadows around him and give them form and substance. Sable has to expend energy to bring his creations into existence and repair them, however the object simply existing does not drain his semblance. The darker the area, the more powerful his creations are and the more difficult they are to break. The objects made look like they are made of a dull, matte steel. Despite their heavy appearance, they actually have no weight. If Sable's creations are exposed to light, they will slowly evaporate into a useless black mist before disappearing entirely. Sunlight will dissolve Sable's creations faster.

Sable nearly always uses his semblance to make himself a suit of plate mail. He does this because he finds that a weightless suit of armor complements his duelist style of fighting extremely well, due to the fact it doesn't hamper his movements or slow him down. Additionally, Sable wears his cloak to give always give him some shadows for his semblance and protect his suit of plate from light.
