Liath Azure

"Say one more thing about my teammate, princess, and they'll be cleaning up the scraps of your carcass for weeks."

Colton Azure to Weiss Schnee during an argument.



Appearance
In appearance, Colton has short, spiky hair borwn in colour and his eyes are dark blue. Despite not being as strong as some of the other males, Colton is still in very good shape and stronger than most regular guys.

By ways of clothing, Colton doesn't own much, opting for simplicity and function over swathes of fine clothing. Conforming to this, he wears a sleeveless blue jacket with a simple black t-shirt underneath, along with light brown combat trousers and shin-high combat boots. The shins of the boots are reinforced with a thin metal plate for added protection, apart from this, Colton wears no armour.

Biography
"...In this regard, Mr. Azure is a prime candidate for Beacon. However, it should be noted that there are several reports of him 'loosing control' as it were. There have been no fatalities thus far, but in incidents that included the more...tyrannical members of the Signal student body, all parties included - barring Mr. Azure himself - have required varying degrees of medical attention..."

- Excerpt from a report sent to Professor Ozpin, author unkown
A Human father, a Faunus mother, and a Fox-tailed brother who was four years his senior. That was the family Colton was born into. A caring, nurturing environment that taught him to judge based on actions and not appearances. Almost a fairy tail when compared to the lives of others.

So much like a fairy tail, that it invited tragedy.

Colton and his Faunus half-brother, Tyse, were orphaned when the airship that their parents were traveling on went missing, never to return. No evidence of a crash was ever found, nor was there any signs of a highjacking on the communication logs. In little more than the blink of an eye, Colton and Tyse had their parents torn from their reach.

Having no other living relatives, the brothers were sent to one of the orphanages on Patch. The carers were nice enough to the pair, though the same could not be said about the other children. They had not had the luxury of being raised by bi-racial parents. Most of them only knew how to be afraid. Tyse was cast out first, being the one of the few Faunus in a mainly human orphanage, and Colton wasn't far behind him for trying to defend his brother from some of the more violent children. Over the years, the two brothers became friends with the other Faunus at the orphanage, and eventually the other children too, but not before several fights between Tyse, Colton and a group of older boys hellbent on making their lives a misery. A while after the fights and bullying ended, the other children learned of Coltons mother and started calling him 'Fifty', on account of being half Faunus.

Tyse turned thirteen and started at Signal Academy. Colton, who was nine, was fiercely proud of his brother, often bragging about him to his friends. Even going so far as to proclaim that Tyse would make it to Beacon and become one of the best hunters ever to live. For four years the brothers lived a happy life once more.

The years ticked by, Tyse grew older and more responsible in a sense, earning himself a girfriend along the way - a cow Faunus named May. Colton studied and trained for Signal, determined to follow his brother

Unfortunately, of the two brothers who had already felt the cold steel of loss, one would feel it once more.

Tyse was seventeen and just finished his last semester at Signal academy while Colton had just stepped foot throught the doors
