Carol Dempsey

"My songs can tame the savage beast! But I'm not too sure about you..."

- Carol

Coming soon!~



Appearance
Carol's hair is golden and cut, but he keeps a bang over his left eye, but if he needed both of his eyes, he'd simply pull back the bang. He himself is pale skinned, is relatively short for his age, and wears a winter jacket with him with a hood that has white fur on it. Underneath, he has a white turtleneck vest. He wears long, black Cargo pants that have buckles on them freely dangling in the air. Edwin also wears boots, but not long legged. His eyes are an odd Magenta, with his expression friendly and warm.

Personality
Carol has always been someone whos bright, fun, and pleasurable to be around. It is extremely easy to tell when Carol is nerved, as he talks less and doesnt do much with others. Carol goes far to check up on his teammates and friends, and it nerves him when he cant cheer people up. Normally, Carol doesnt mind serenading girls, but hes quite precise on who he sees as alluring and who he would simply want as a friend. For this reason, hes seen as a heart-breaker to some.

The biggest problems with his personality are his arrogance, lack of serious behavior, obliviousness towards something he is not focusing on, and his blunt personality. While he goes with the thought that everyone should say their own opinion, there are plenty of times when hes said the wrong thing to a situation. Plus, sometimes while he MAY be actually right, he would say something that would be otherwise sensitive or touchy- He means good intention, but got misdirected. Carol is somewhat oblivious towards someone beating around the bush, but can oddly pick up hints if they are dropped carefully. Its for this reason that he seems infatuated with more indirect girls than girls who shyly let themselves known to him.

Backstory
Carol was really raised by his mother, his father having seperated from her when Carol was 2 years old. Carol's life was never really too different besides the teasing of his rare eye color, which when kids notice something unique and different, they pick and tease at it which made him more shy. Carol when he was younger, wasnt as charasmatic was he is now, atleast until he met his Uncle around the age of 11.

Carol's Uncle was more of a fatherly figure to him, and was a mechanic with a love for music. He often told Carol that, "Follow your soul, it writes a song only you can write and change." He would often come to the shop, hearing the sounds of the machines whirring and drilling while the radio was playing songs of the time; So much so that Edwin soon enough began to take up the Guitar. His Uncle would often help him with his school work and said that he would help Carol since hes so nice of a kid.

In the normal school system, 13-year old Carol was pretty content with himself, but felt as though there was a missing hole in his interests. As a rather large chapter of the History of Hunters came up, Carol became enticed with the idea of being a hunter and eventually ended up annoying the teacher with his questions about the life of a Hunter. So much so, that the next day he talked to his Uncle about it and got, "Oho, Carol. The life of a Hunter is a tough one, and Im not even sure that your mother would approve. But, if she allows you to, come back to the shop." Carol darted home, only to get mixed answers from his mother's approval. Eventually, she came to that her boy was finally growing up and told him he could go as long as he kept safe.

The next day, Carol went to his Uncle's mechanic shop, only to find his Uncle out front with a delighted expression on his face. Carol coming back in a happy manner already said what he was going to say, and his Uncle knew that. His uncle held in one hand, a paper that had his recommendation and in the other, an admissions paper to go into Signal Academy. With his Uncle's help, Carol sent in his application and interest into that paper, and soon enough he was sent to live at Signal, transferring from his normal school.

Four Years passed, with Carol finally graduated out of Signal as one of the students with the highest averages of his class. He had grown accustomed to fighting with a Hammer, which hes sent pictures home about his progress and his self-esteem getting much happier, and after so long, he decides to go back to his hometown to check on his mother and uncle. At that time though, his Uncle's shop was in a rather desperate time with the lack of customers. His Uncle, finally growing some white hairs, looked at the relatively grown Carol (Despite his shortness, Mother's side of the family) and smiled, "You've grown into quite the young man, Carol. Come to the back of my shop, I need to show you something." Carol followed him inside, and found blueprints to what seemed like a custom hammer. The pieces were in the back, as if waiting for him. "You think I wouldn't have given you a graduation present?" His uncle went on, "I knew from your soul that you would be a bright boy, but here is..*cough*..a design for what I would call Explorer Mjolnir. I used..*cough*..your previous guitar that you left at home for it." The rest of the day, he with his Uncle's expertise in building, built and forged the custom Guitar infront of his eyes with his own hands.

By the next morning, Carol had finished putting together Explorer Mjolnir, and it was if his Uncle knew exactly what he would have wanted. He was too happy and anxious to try out his new weapon that Carol forgot he was awake for over 30 hours. Carol tried it, and he tells his Uncle that he was "a mind-reader to know what He wanted." His Uncle simply shrugged at him and told him to "Always be proud, because people are proud of you." The next step of his life had to be commenced- Getting into the next bigger Hunting School, Beacon Academy. He sent in his transcript from Signal, and within days he was accepted- Probably because of his Class average.

Before heading off, he left a note for his Uncle saying:

''"This is going to be fun, do you mind telling my Mom that I still am being safe? (Im really not, but I cant scare her...) You probably already know where Im heading off to. Dont worry, I'll get recognition for your shop, I wont let it close down like this....thanks for everything...I'll stay proud as long as you two stay proud of me...." -Carol''

Weapon -  Mjolnir Exp. Version
 Explorer Mjolnir is a special type of Hammer with 2 key features and one side feature: Capable of transforming into an Impact Hammer and can be used as a Rifle, with its un-transformed mode resembling a functioning Guitar.

Mjolnir is a HIRH, which stands for Heavy Impact Rifle Hammer. Mainly, when transformed into battle mode, the two ends of the hammer have compression and release functions, which are the yellow tubes seen when it is in Battle mode. This lets Mjolnir "bop" an enemy even harder than the swing is capable of by releasing the compression upon impact, adding more momentum.

The Rifle in Mjolnir's "neck" is your standard burst rifle, and can be used for longer distance hitting and perhaps to draw fire and focus it onto Carol. Since it is a sub-system of Mjolnir, it is not its main output of damage, and Carol would only use this if he cannot reach the enemy or if hes trying to attract attention. Normally though, when not transformed, Mjolnir is a normal Explorer guitar, which can be played normally or through amps.

Abilities -
Carol's Aura is more of a crisp orange glow. Normally, Carol doesnt have awareness to use his Aura, but with his gloves, he can channel the raw power of his Aura through Mjolnir in the form of Lightning. He can control it better through Mjolnir than without, and when he uses it without, his ability tends to go out of control due to lack of training with his aura. Carol's semblance is the ability to render conduction of electricity...though, even he does not know too well of how he does it....(WIP)
 * Semblance: Conduction

Trivia & Notes

 * Carol is derived from the words "Song or hymn", while Dempsey comes from the word "Proud". His name would come out to be "A Song of Pride" or "A Proud Song".
 * Carol's middle name is Roth. Rearrange the letters, and you get.....
 * Mjolnir is very well known in Norse Mythology. It literal meaning is "To Smash; Crush; or Hammer, " depending on the translation.
 * The idea for Mjolnir came when I was thinking of musical intruments, combining a Gibson Explorer into an Impact Hammer.
 * The main goal here was to create an opposite of Edwin, but not too far different. If Edwin is reluctant to speak his mind, then Carol is more reluctant to not blurt out his feelings towards something. If Edwin is more caring to not hurt someone, Carol is more blunt on any subject.
 * As a side note, Carol's design was also based from clothes I have and dont wear. Odd, huh? :/
