Avery Lombardi is an original character created by Hyper Zergling for the RWBY universe.

Appearance
Avery is a male teenager with short, dark-brown, spiky hair. He wears a loose green shirt with a yellow high collar, and a pair of green baggy pants. Over his shirt is a dark-green unzipped jacket. Avery wears the boots of Artigli di Raptor at nearly all times.

Avery is a Faunus who possesses qualities of a bird, having a tail of brown feathers.

Personality
Avery is a fairly quiet individual who tends to keep to himself. However, he will open up to others if they wish to strike friendly conversations with him. In combat, however, Avery can be seen as almost an entirely different person, becoming considerably more aggressive and reckless than his usual self. During combat, Avery has a tendency to lack situational awareness, being far too focused on pursuing his target as if hunting down prey. Because of this, he has trouble facing multiple opponents at once, and relies heavily on allies to watch his back.

Abilities & Powers
As with many of the other students of Beacon Academy, Avery possesses superhuman qualities, such as great speed, strength, and durability. His most notable trait, however, is his lower body strength, allowing him to vertically propel himself at incredible heights and "soar" through the air. This allows him to dive onto unsuspecting enemies from above, dispatching them before they can even fight back. Avery's immense lower body strength also allows him to deliver incredibly powerful kicks that can overwhelm the opponent when executed in quick succession.

Like Ren, Avery possesses mediocre stamina at best and will tire himself out fairly quickly. If he is unable to defeat his opponent in time, he will more often than not lose the fight.
