Phil Brown

Philip “Phil” Brown is an original character created by Hyper Zergling for the RWBY universe.

Appearance
Phil is a moderately-tall male teenager with blue eyes and short brown hair. Phil wears a brown cowboy hat, a gold-yellow shirt, gray pants, brown boots, and a brown unzipped vest with a vertical bandolier fastened to it on each side on the front. His aura is gold-yellow in color.

Abilities & Powers
Like many of the other students training to become huntsmen, Phil possesses a great degree of strength, speed, and durability. Phil carries a pair of firearms – the Goliathstopper and the Blinker – both of which can fire solid, conventional projectiles or rounds that are filled with various forms of dust, including fire, ice and lightning.

The Goliathstopper is a lever-action large-bore rifle capable of killing smaller Grimm in one shot. Although its name implies that it can take down goliaths, the Goliathstopper can only severally injure the younger, less-experienced of the elephant-like Grimm. The Goliathstopper possesses a 7-round internal tubular magazine, and with one round in the chamber, it can hold up to 8 at once; the nature of the tubular magazine requires Phil to load the rifle one cartridge at a time. The Goliathstopper also has a bayonet attached to it; in melee combat, Phil to uses the rifle either as a makeshift spear or a bludgeoning weapon should he opt to strike his target with the stock.

The Blinker is a five-shot double-action revolver with a metallic cable stored in a metallic box that is mounted beneath the barrel. Compared to the Goliathstopper, the Blinker possesses a higher rate of fire and is less powerful – although still more powerful than Reed Chernobog’s Daijuto and Shojuto in pistol form. Phil uses speedloaders for the Blinker, which substantially decreases its reloading time. The aforementioned steel cable is activated by a second trigger right by the main trigger and comes out in the form of a lasso, which can be used to bind a target and pull him/her/it towards Phil.

Phil calls his own semblance Phil Brown Time, of which he quickly inhales, focuses, and drastically increases his reaction time for half of an entire second. During this half-second “window,” things appear to move 70% slower for Phil, although he cannot physically act any faster than his limbs would allow. Exhaling also cuts Phil Brown Time short. Phil most frequently uses his semblance to pull off more accurate, consistent shots in quicker succession with his firearms, although he occasionally uses his semblance in close quarters in order to temporarily improve his melee fighting proficiency.
