Victor van Rijn

Appareance
Victor is a tall, atheltic young man with pearl-colored hair and light mint eyes, and has pale skin. Since he's a falcon Faunus, his head's hair is mixed up with short cream/warm gray-colored feathers; most of them are located on his head's back.

His outfit consists of a white/turquoise/cerulean shirt, a dark teal tie, dark gray/black formal trousers, black socks, and dark teal/silver shoes. He also wears a dark gray/dark teal pilot hat with silver details, a black utility belt, and the Witte Wieven, his weapons of choice.

Personality (WIP)
Victor seems to be a cool, confident, and charismatic person on the outside. However, actually he isn't as confident as he seems and he doesn't have a high self-esteem either, but this isn't noticeable unless you know him well because he wears the "cool" mask almost all the time due to both familiar pressure, since they don't want him to ruin their reputation, and because he doesn't want to get hurt if he screws up and wants to keep as calm and as mentally sane as possible; because of this, he behaves in a -seemingly- chill way most of times.

He's a kind and helpful guy, though he sometimes can come off as boring or even naïve to people because his mentality is pretty formal and work-focused (therefore he doesn't know much about recreational activities or about socializing with people about stuff that doesn't have to do with school or work), so he prefers to listen to people instead of speaking to them; while he enjoys to socialize, he can be somewhat socially awkward because of this. Despite his mentality, he's warm with his friends and is very loyal to them as well.

History (WIP)
Victor comes from an old family of pilots, given their avian Faunus heritage; in his family, working in the aviation field was the norm, and the few ones that didn't follow that path confronted huge family pressure and even isolation from them (...)

Weapon
Victor has the Dual Aerodynamic Dust System (DADS) Witte Wieven as his weapons. They're a pair of gauntlets, and each one of them have a foldeable plane-like "wing" which canalizes Dust and that can be used for slashing and also allow Victor to fly/glide; they also can switch position to the one of a tonfa for melee combat on land. For ranged combat, the gauntlets can shoot flechettes made of Dust.

They're named after the Dutch legendary creatures of the same name.

Abilities (WIP)
Victor is a remarkably agile, fast, highly offfensive fighter, but he can have issues dodging attacks when he's performing aerial combat, and while he doesn't lack stamina he lacks armor/defense.

His Aura's colour is gold, and his Semblance is called Flight or Fight; it consists of being capable to control the impacts of his own body. He can change the intensity of them by will, but this ability is limited by his body and aura's resistance; if he strongly crashes against something (when using it in an offensive way) he can get injured as his Semblance doesn't increase his body's resistance. Victor usually uses his Semblance for propelling himself into flight or for decreasing the impact of physical attacks on his body.

Relationships (WIP)

 * Candela Quitral: Candela is the only person of the team Victor can call a "friend"; or in better words, Candela is the only person who's warm with him. Because of this, he's very loyal to his leader and follows her orders most of times.


 * Paz Himeyuri: Victor has a merely professional relationship with her due to her cold, asocial behavior. Victor tried to get close to her at first, but finally gave up.


 * Colby London: Victor has a bad relationship with Colby since he always treat him badly, ignoring his accomplishments and laughing at his failures; Colby doesn't respect him at all.

Trivia

 * He alludes to the Tenerife airport disaster, the deadliest aviation accident in history.
 * His name is a mix of the aircrafts' names that crashed on the accident, "Clipper Victor" and "Rijn".
 * "Victor" means "he who conquers" in Latin, but can also be considered a derivative of "victory", which can allude to the color gold, the color of his Aura. "Victor" also represents the letter V in the NATO phonetic alphabet.
 * "Van Rijn" literally means "from the Rhine" in Dutch, but also happens to be Rembrandt's surname.
 * He's from Atlas.
 * He's a falcon Faunus, specifically a Peregrine Falcon, a bird known for its impressive flying speed and which is sometimed used in airports for scaring away birds to reduce the risk of bird-plane strikes. His Faunus trait are the feathers that can be found on his head, mixed up with his hair.
 * Besides this, he tends to eat a lot of meat because of his heritage.
 * Not to mention he was pretty whiny vocal as a child, just like Peregrine Falcon eyases.
