Leta Orphestos

Leta Orphestos (pronounced Le-Ta Or-Fes-Stos) is a first year beacon student.

Appearance
Leta is a tall statured man. He has long black har with long bangs parted to the side. On his left hear he has a ornate earring with an embeded ice dust crystal given to him by his mother. Due to his long hair and stature, he often gets mistaken for a female, as his mantle usually covers his clothing. He wears steel plated leather bracers so he can use his bow with either his left or right hand.

Personality
Despite being mute, he has a very happy and eccentric personality. Even though his written jokes don't often gets across, he like to play music for the situation at hand with his lyre, this often caused him to get yelled at because it can be at the wrong times. Despite being very eccentric, he has a thirst for knowledge, he studies and reads as much as he can. He wants to absorb as much knowledge so that wherever he goes, he can be of help. With his lyre, he often create cover renditions of songs that are known throughout Remnant. He does writes his own songs but often stops because he can't sing along with it and slowly fades into an emotional state.

History
Born to traveling ministrals, when he was young, he had an angelic voice, often drawing people to dance when he performed with his parents. He played a heirloom lyre alongside his family. During one of the performances in a local town in Vale, a drunken vagabond slashed at his throat out of jealousy. He was rushed to emergency care and they were able to stop the bleeding. He recovered relatively quickly but he became a mute, not being able to speak anymore. He still played his Lyre during the performances, but he felt left out as he couldn't sing anymore. His new form of communiation is that  he writes on a notepad or plays his lyre to a tone that best fits the situation.

In order to not become a burden for his parents, he communicated to them about being a huntsman. Much like as ministrel, they traveled around Remnant bringing help and joy towards the populace. As he couldnt speak, he figured that this would be the best way to contribute alongside his parents.

Weaponry
Leta uses a custom built long bow that he created during school. It is named Echo's Cry. It has a metal frame with ornamented ends, adorned with sakura petals. In the middle of the bow, near the handle, lies a artifical tree branch with flowers, it is mainly used as a supplementary arrow rest for the bow. Under the top half of the bow, he incorporated his family heirloom 8-string lyre into it, so he can either play or take aim without switching to either one. He further incorporated his lyre by infusing it with dust, with each string containing a specific type of dust. The types he uses are: Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind, Water, Gravity, Lightning, and Steam. When not in combat, the bow folds in half to mainly showcase the lyre.

One special feature is that the bow has no material arrows. All of his ammunition is created by the dust in his Lyre. He uses his semblance to hold together the arrows constructs that are created by the dust. To create the dust arrows, he strums one of the strings to create the arrow construct and then the gravity string to use with his semblance to hold it together.

If he is ever faced with melee ranged battles, he uses a ornamented dagger that was given to him by his father. It is imbued with a fire dust crystal.

Abilities and Fighting Style
Semblance: Gravitational Condensor, gate that is created using gravity and elemental dust, depending on which is used for her arrow. Her usual gate is the size of a tire, when a single dust arrow passes through, it duplicates using the original dust that created the arrow them which helps target a larger area.

His main gate can be used in two ways: Another application is that he can also manifest a smaller gate that lies infront of the arrow and is the size of a tennis ball. Instead of duplicating the arrow, it now fires them at a super high velocity, on par or even faster than a bullet cartridge. It provides with higher penatrative power and speed.
 * Rapid Fire: By continuously firing and drawing his bow repeatedly, he can essentially create a rapid fire bow using the gate to duplicate the arrows.
 * Torrential Bombardment: Instead of aiming it towards his target, he aims upwards and fires, creating a radial arc for the arrows. They duplicate like normal but instead they use gravity to accelerate their descent. allowing her to target multiple areas.
