Siva Ferro

Appearance
Siva is a Caucasian teenage human, standing at 5'8" barefoot, and 5'9" with boots on. He has short dark grey hair, with the front portion pointing upwards. His eyes are a mixture of blue and grey, almost silver but not quite. In terms of clothing, he wears an unzipped dark grey hoodie with a white dress shirt underneath, both sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He also wears dark blue slim jeans, and thin brown boots. For accessories, he wears glasses, as well as a smartwatch on the left wrist that displays the time and Aura, and a hairband on the right wrist purely for looks. His emblem is shown on his hoodie, on the upper right sleeve.

Personality
Siva is generally calm, especially during tense situations. He never raises his voice unless necessary (e.g. yelling out during a fight), and tends to be wise. He is also laid back, but also knows when to be serious. He is a take-it-slow kind of person, which means he stops and thinks about what to do or say next. Despite that, he also tends to be arrogant at times and often doesn't realize it, which Siva is aware of and is trying to fix it. In stark contrast to the rest of his personality, he is a light hearted jokester and can laugh at himself. Siva dislikes arguments, especially if it is unimportant.

History
Up until he was ten years old, Siva lived with his parents and his sister. The parents constantly fought, and over time the arguments got worse and worse. In order to cope with the constant yelling, he would often lock himself in his room and meditate, focusing on him and his thoughts only. At one point, an argument got so bad, that Siva's father grabbed a pistol and shot his mother and himself. At that exact moment, Siva unlocked his Semblance, and watched in great detail and slow motion, the death of his parents, especially his mother. Traumatized by what happened, he packed up his and his sister's stuff, and travelled over to his aunt's and uncle's where he lives to this day.

During his time at Signal Academy, Siva built his own weapon, which he calls Apex, because he half-jokingly says that it is "the apex predator of all the Grimm."

At seventeen years old, Siva got accepted into Beacon Academy, which he studied at until the Fall of Beacon. After the Fall, he stayed home and worked at his aunt's and uncle's noodle shop for about a year, before transferring over to Atlas Academy.

Weapon
Siva's weapon is called Apex, classified as a Lever-Action Shotgun-Axe (LASA), which is a lever action shotgun that can extend and be used as a battle axe.

The weapon has two forms, a Retracted form and an Extended form. In both forms, the gun can be fired, and the axe can be used, however the axe in Retracted form is of course smaller, and weaker.

In Retracted form, the weapon is a normal lever-action shotgun, with a small axe affixed to the end of the magazine tube. The axe is retracted and fitted on the end of the barrel, the gun itself has no stock but instead has a blade-like ornament on the butt on the handle. Ornate details colored white are present on the handle and foregrip, and the gun has golden accents. The handle and foregrip are black save for the ornates and accents, while the barrel and receiver are dark grey. On the top of the barrel, the "back" of the axe is used as the front iron sight.

In Extended form, the barrel + magazine tube are extended about two feet, which allows the gun to comfortably be held by two hands, to obviously be used as an axe. The axe blade itself is now much larger and battle-worthy, being over twice as large as the retracted version of the blade. The axe has a jagged edge, with the accent being silver and ornate detailings white. The "back" of the axe is NOT extended.

Siva can put Fire and Ice dust crystals into the axe blade, and when swung the axe can launch either a fireball or a hail of ice, depending on the dust crystal used. Of course, Siva has full control of when to fire the dust.

The gun holds seven 12 gauge shotgun shells, which unlike some shotguns in Remnant, fires actual shells, ones that have multiple pellets. Because the gun has no separate box magazine to reload, Siva has to either load the shells one by one, or he can use a speedloading tube to load the shells.

Semblance
Siva's Semblance is called Focus. When activated, the Semblance slows down his perception of time, which allows him to have a simulated greatly enhanced reaction time, as well as more time for him to plan his next move. Although it seems overpowered, the limitations are that he cannot use his Semblance for very long (only 20 seconds in real time, as his Aura is below average), and he cannot move superhumanly fast (Siva can move faster, just not unrealistically fast). Not to mention that Siva also has a slower reaction time compared to most people, so at times he may have to depend on his Semblance.

When his Semblance is active, his eyes glow.
