David Wool

"Money, fame, glory? I just want my siblings to sleep without worrying about what's out there."- David Wool

Formely a young shepherd living at Erymanthos Village, David has been inspired by his village's protector to attend Beacon in order to become a huntsman himself. Now he leads Earth Slakte, Maria Sangria and Ariel Dusk during their stay at Beacon as Team D.E.A.M.(Diamond).

Appearance
A short young man with light gray hair and calm blue eyes. He wears a thick white wooly cloak with his emblem on the side over a light green wool shirt. He also wears heavy white pants that are held by his dark brown belt and white sneakers.

Personality
David is a calm and kind individual, not too sure of himself yet determined to do what he can. Despite claiming he's not leadership material, David is quick to see possibilities and react to them, while he claims it was just an instict, he's more right than he knows.

While not the most confident person, David knows when it's time to act and when it's time to doubt, and often surprises himself at how quickly he suceeds. Deep down, he misses his family and village, but knows he will be able to do more to safeguard it after graduating.

He's a complete fool when it comes to civilization, often having to remind himself he can't bargain for products despite being quite good at negociating.

David is also quite observant, and isn't afraid to let it show, though he does feel guilty pointing out other's flaws, he does so with his best interests at heart.

Weapon: Goliath
Goliath is a Dust Slingshot. Not just serving as a shepherd crook, but with a dust container on it's grip, the user merely needs to trigger the weapon to unfold it's crook into a slingshot. Firing concentrated dust spheres for highly destructive effects:

Fire Dust: Fiery explosions

Ice Dust: Freezes the surrounding surface

Lightning Dust: Releases lightning on it's surroundings

Gravity Dust: Locks into a target and continues to follow it till it strikes something

Goliath can also be split into a pike and smaller slingshot for melee utility.

Semblance: Rocket
David can exponentially increase an objects potential speed. Turning a simple rock toss into a bullet, a slingshot? A miniature rocket. He can also use it on himself and others to increase jumping length or give the illusion of physical strength.

Fighting Style
David was once a shepherd, and his fighting style strongly reflects it. When facing grimm, he snipes them with his slingshot, blasting them away with his semblance's boost and keeping them off any targets they may be targeting such as civilians or his teammates. Yet when fighting humans, he avoids using his semblance directly against them, instead using a mixture of strikes and shot to herd them straight towards his allies.

Backstory
David hails from southern Sanus, a small farming community near Vale to be exact. Growing up as a shepherd, David was taught how to use a slingshot and crook at a young age to ward off the smaller beowulf and wild animals that hunted the livestock. Being the eldest son, David had his life written out for him, and he was fine with it.

The boy adored the open fields and peace of it all. Yet, during a specially harsh winter, his house was attacked by grimm, his family harely escaping and his father losing sensibility and control of both legs. Too poor to afford Atlesian prosthetics, heck, too disconnected to know such things existed, David had to take full charge of the flock.

Yet, one day he was attacked by a pack of beowolves, his crook snapped and out of ammo, he desperately tried to fend them off to no avail. He'd have died right there had not a wandering hunstman saved him. David, showing respect for his savior despite the frustration he felt at his near-death experience, invited the man to eat with his family tonight.

The huntsman shared stories of his adventures all night, and David's father offered him David's room for the night. David asked him where he had learned to fight like he had, the answer was simple: Beacon. The next day, David knew exactly where he would be studying when he came of age. This is the day he's been waiting for.
