Nickelae Vânt Kojote

"You can hit me all you want i am not going to tell you the magician secrets. So go away." "I shall slaughter every grimm until they have nothing left but to return to the darkness an become myths."

- Nickelae as when he is more serous about things.

Appearance:
Nickelae looks like he's around the age of 17 to 18, but his facial appearance is rather feminine for a boy his age. He has is long back length silver hair while his eyes are a purplish greyish color. His skin is a palish color. He has long retractable claws for nails. His left eye has a "X" shape scare on it from his times working for the White fang.

In his younger days Nickelae wore the typical White fang uniform. After leaving the White fang, he desided to change his look. Now Nickelae wears a tattered robe, the collar of which covers his face. The left sleeve is torn to shreds showing off his wrapped up hand. Nickelae normally rest his right arm in the middle of his robe. On the back of the robe is his emblem a coyote head with a sword impaling it with the word: "Ich bin das Tier, um die Dunkelheit zu töten" circling it. Under the robe Nickelae wears a white striped dress shirt. Over it is a tan leather vest tuck in its chest pocket is a pocket watch. Over the vest Nickelae wears a suit jacket to which the lapel is covered in fur. The shoulders an sleeves of the jacket is also covered in fur and for his lower wear Nickelae wears pair of ten leather pants. And wraped around his waist is a coyote fur sash with four pouchs filled full of random dust crystals and two dust clinders, both on one side of his sash. For his foot wear Nickelae wears Victorian style boots with knee high fur spats and on his middle finger on his left hand he has a ring in the form of a Nevermore.

Personality:
When Nickelae was young he was a kind and sweet kid and as he grew up he learned alot of things a few of them were the thieves code a code that meant to steal at any cost but to never kill anyone as a life is more valuable than anything.Another thing he was taught While working with Koray was that a magician must be able to keep secrets even if it means keeping them from those they love as a true magician never reveals his secrets.The final thing that he was taught was the gentleman’s code.A code that Koray made sure was drilled into his head in that a man must protect a woman’s dignity and respect and to never hit a woman.During this time nickelae did his best to become a gentleman even tho his master may not be.

When Nickelae was in the white fang he was naive into thinking that what the white fang was doing was anything but good but his anger clouded his judgment on certain things while in the white fang.He was merciless in his work has a assassin doing whatever it to get the job done but when a target wasn’t a human male or grimm nickelae would give the kill to his teammate..When it came to arrogance he believed himself to be the best member of the white fang an that to have high a rank within the white fang meant that you were strong and important anyone without a rank was expendable.He was hard working in archiving his ranks within the white fang.

Now days Nickelae is more secretive about most of his life, tending to cover up parts of it with some rather good stories so as to not give people the wrong idea about him and his past history.

Generally Nickelae carries some strict rules when it comes to battles, in that he doesn't fight people by charging headfirst into the battle and then ask questions later. Rather he tries to negotiate however if ever someone shows signs of a threat to those he cares about, be it his friends or family, Nickelae is prone to go all out in a fit of 'righteous anger' towards those that threaten his love ones to the point of him calling himself 'Lord of Dust'. In this state of mind, it's hard to snap him out of it until he defeats his opponent.When Nickelae is around his friends he is rather easy going and calm if not discribed as uncaring levels of it.Giving off sarcastic liners about anything in general even if it is mundane.So would as its asshole levels of sarcastic.

Nickelae's defining flaw is pride. His pride has lead him to become a white fang member and to become a hunter in training after seeing what the white fang were really like it has also made him a perfectionist, always wanting to get better at everything he does in life even if it means making himself sick.It has also lead to him becoming a neat freak to some degree to the point of even seeing a messy room will make him feel sick. "Seeing any human trash is sicking to believe that such creatures have ruled rement and still be as messy as pigs is confusing and to see his own kind be the same way shames him."

Weapons/summery and Skills:
Main Weapon:Der Freischütz

Summery: Nickelae is more of close range fighter, using his expertise as a swordsman to close the distance between him an his target. Once he is within mid to close range, Nickelae unleashes a flurry of aura and dust based sword attacks to destroy his enemies.

Fighting Styles:
Nickelae's fighting style can be described as fast pass in that Nickelae will quickly draw his sword out to strike his oppents while using the sheath to parry his oppents attack.When in the second form of his sword nickelae use it like a broadsword using deflection and parrying to open up his oppents for dust base sword slashs.While in third an final form nickelae uses the hilt like a gun and fires at his oppents while using rolls and flips to keep his oppents at a distance to better help this Nickelae uses his semeblance to teleport himself out of life threating areas or to get in close to make it difficult for his oppents to get a lock on him.

Strengths:Great for fast hard hitting attacks to weaken a enemy.An getting enemies attation with such flashy attack style.Then with a over the top spell from a list of arcane spells to wipe out a grimm or hurt a guy pretty good.

Weakness:Uses up way to much energy to last every long in a prolong fight and is need of back up to allow him to recover from.Unless they have armor or are able to dodge attacks.Can't take much attacks.

Non Combat related skills:
Nickelae is very good at domestic work such as cooking, cleaning and doing laundry, among other household chores. He is quite skilled in culinary arts and is quite hospitable. Nickelae is also pretty good at fishing, hunting as well as acting.He knows a few magicain tricks mainly card tricks making things appear and disappear and is working on escape stunts but only got into it during his 13th birthday.

Aura/Semblance.
His aura is a dark silver color. It was unlocked by his parents at a early age.

Semblance: Smoke and Mirror. Nickelae's semblance takes the form of three different size glyphs, the sizes of which go from large, medium to small and how these glyph work is that they allow him to travel from one location to another and vise versa, however he can only go about it by marking locations or objects with his glyphs as a means of traveling.

Weakness: Placing marks on longer distances can drain him of his aura rather quickly as well as moving large objects through them. The maximum amount of glyphs he can use depending on the size, ranging from 3 large ones to 5 medium size ones to 10 small ones.Can teleport others but they must be touching him to be teleported and they must hold their breath.

Back story:
Nickelae was born into a family of huntsmen. However, unlike most huntsmen and huntresses, his parents were always on the move, the only real place he could call home was the Cirque De Nightingales,  a family friend’s place of business as well as the only place they felt at home. It was there that Nickelae learned the art of the sword, the usage of dust, the magician’s tricks, and a thief’s trickery. It was also where he met Flint, one of his closest friends and the only human he could call "brother". Nickelae and Flint trained together and pushed each other to do better.

While Nickelae didn't want to learn from Flint's grandfather, he quickly changed his mind after seeing one his shows. There Nickelae knew what he wanted to do; He wanted to become the strongest Dust user in all of Remnant, beginning his training under Koray, Master of Illusions. He taught Nickelae how to fight like a Nevermore and how to become a force of Nature.

For eight years Nickelae had studied under Koray's teaching and in those 8 years Nickelae showed he had what it takes to become a strong swordsman and a powerful dust user. He started to gain interest in the White Fang after hearing countless news stories of how the white fang were helping Faunus and showing that wealthy humans were evil.

At age 13, Nickelae sneaked out of the circus and went to a local White Fang meeting he had overheard by someone in the crowds during one of his master's shows. Once there Nickelae wasn't totally sure on if he wanted to join so he did best to keep his involvement to a minimum, doing his best to do low profile jobs for them so as to not get caught by anyone. He did his best to keep up appearance when at the circus so his parents or Koray wouldn’t know about his involvement but somehow he felt Koray knew about it but never asked him about it.

It wasn't until he found out what happened to Flint that changed his duty. He found that a group of kids above Flint's age had tried picking on the animals in the tents and that flint tried to scare them away but ended up getting his hand hurt. This enraged Nickelae to the point that he stole a mask and fire dust from his teacher's belongings, tracked the boys down and gave them a beating they would remember. It wasn't tell after he received a letter from Koray telling him about the doctors might being unable to save Flint's hand that further in raged Nickelae to the point of joining the white fang.

During his years as a White fang, Nickelae looked down on humans, viewing them as nothing but people who viewed faunus as a lower species. Any mission he went on he destroyed any grimms he spotted on his journey, bring him more and more pride in his faunus blood and gaining a interesting reputation as a destructive member to his associates.

In his years of missions, he had volunteered for several dangerous missions and looked down on those who never volunteered for such missions as not having a strong enough reason for joining the white fangs cause.

At age 15, Nickelae had become a high ranking member and one of the White Fang’s best assassins. During a mission, however, while killing a ceo, Nickelae was caught off guard by a droid and had his left eye cut in the shape of an "x". He managed to escape the droid by jumping out a window to the stories below. After running for hours, Nickelae fainted and was founded by a woman who took him back to her place in which she managed to heal some of his injuries.Once he was healed up the woman ask him questions about why he joined the white fang among other questions, and once she heard his responses to her questions, she then showed him the true side of the White Fang. She showed him the lives he helped ruin all the things she showed him told Nickelae that what the white fang was doing was wrong, and that it wasn't helping the faunus race become equals with humans - it was making the faunus race look like nothing more than grimm.

It was after that Nickelae desided to change his ways but first he had do something. During his last mission with his partner, he told him that he will be leaving the White Fang, and when his partner asked him how, Nickelae told him that he will have to wait and see. When Nickelae and his partner were at the dust factory, Nickelae told his teammate he had to do something, and when the factory was destroyed, and his partner tried to find him, but all he could find was a torn and burnt white fang symbol on a scrap of metal.

From there, Nickelae left the area and started his travel around Remnant. During the first year of his travel, Nickelae found himself on a farm where he met a woman. It wasn't until a few months after they met that they started to develop feelings for each other; they were like star struck lovers. Every day after he was finished helping around the farm, he would sneak off to watch her train. Every day it was like this, even on the rainiest of days to the hottest ones, he was watching her train. It wasn't until one day when she had broken one of her training dummies that he finally got the courage to ask her why she was training.

Nickelae listened to her story of her wanting to be a huntress who would travel Remnant destroying grimm and evil people who dare to sink Remnant back into darkness, and because she wanted to prove her parents that she wasn't a puppet for them to control. Nickelae asked her why she felt that way, and she told him her story of a girl who did everything her parents asked of her, and a girl who got whatever she wanted so long as she did what she was told. When she asked him about his past, Nickelae only told her a fraction of the truth, and it was from the sharing of their past that they joined together to go to Beacon. However, it wouldn't be until another year they could leave and take the Enterance exam. For Nickelae, it was a means to become a powerful dust user, and he needed to learn more than what his master taught him.
