Trahl Kosti

""Put that away, geez! And you think you know a person!""

Appearance
Trahl’s default outfit consists of a lot of pale yellows and whites. He wears a pair of black rimless glasses for reading, though he almost never takes them off even when he doesn't need them. He wears a two-toned varsity jacket, with yellow pattens on the sleeves and front. Over the jacket is a light assortment of armor that looks heavily padded though are surprisingly light, colored silver with his emblem on it. He wears dark blue denim pants, though they’re mostly covered by the large boots that go up to his knees. The boots are silver, white, yellow and black covered in armor and are heavily padded. The boots themselves are Trahl’s weapons, with highly weaponized cleats that can shoot laser beams and boost speed.''' '''

He sleeps in a pair of black pajamas with yellow accents.

Trahl is fairly tall, with a full head of shaggy brown hair and heterochromic green and yellow eyes. His skin is tanned and his build is athletic, though sometimes this can be hard to tell through his clothes. His nose is rather wide and upturned, while his eyebrows are very thick. His mouth is rather large as well.

Personality
Trahl is not a very complicated person. He’s incredibly cheerful and lighthearted, and can oftentimes come off as a ditz. He’s nerdy and spending time with him reveals that he often does things without thinking about it, as well as being incredibly unorganized. However, his looks do deceive quite a lot of people. Considering that he’s someone who’s been accepted into Beacon, it’s not wise to underestimate him. He’s actually surprisingly intelligent, if not necessarily cunning. He knows how to think on his feet (considering his weapon and talent set, that can be quite literal) and knows his stuff when it comes to combat. However, he has been known to avoid his responsibilities and has something of a lazy streak.

As has been stated, Trahl is someone who’s incredibly lighthearted and ditzy. However, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have his passions. In fact, if he is passionate about something, he is incredibly passionate about it. Such as his mechanically-enabled lasermancy. He’s also very passionate about music, though he notes that he’s not  that enamored with it. He just believes that it’s fun to play. In fact, that almost sums up Trahl’s personality quite well. He simply prioritizes the things that he thinks is fun and interesting.

History
Trahl was born into a family that, while not especially rich, was not poor. He has a sister who he always admired. He also has an older brother who he looks up to, though at times, he finds that he often plays catch-up to him. He was naturally inclined at playing instruments and sports for quite a long time, and even took up tap dancing when he was younger. His tap dancing skills were quite good, it was said, and it gave him the balance necessary to effectively use the laser-cleats that he currently uses.  

Growing up as the less-competent version of his older brother, there were many times when he’d do something just because it was something that his older brother hadn’t done. He had an inferiority complex in that way, even though he was still intelligent and competent, just somewhat less so. After all, his older brother was more popular, had more friends, was more intelligent, and was better looking. He got down on himself a lot for that, and it was a big part of why he was almost glad that he and his brother went off to different combat schools. He didn’t want to deal with his brother at Beacon, as much as he admired him. Even his sister was better than he was, being so beautiful that his parents crowed about it endlessly. Unfortunately, he lost contact with her after she left to pursue her own interests.

Trahl’s grades were not always high and he was still competent at combat, even if he doesn’t believe  himself to be. However, getting into Beacon was still a struggle, though he still managed to pass the entrance exam and attend.

Abilities
Trahl’s weapons are known as WCJBs (Weaponized Cleat Jet-Boots) known as Skidmarkers. They were constructed with the help of Rhame Lucem, though he only provided the base design. Much of the actual construction of the boots were done by Trahl. The boots are primarily designed to be used for propulsion, though Trahl personally added a feature that allowed the boots to be utilized as lasers. Trahl uses the boots to shoot around and dash, and it has the capacity for very limited flight, though it’s often unstable when he tries to use it in that manner. Other than that, he uses it to light things on fire in conjunction with kick attacks, as the cleats also work as spikes. The boots are also very defensive, being quite armored.''' '''

The boots can also deploy small balls from their sides, that fold outwards, causing them to enlarge. He uses these for long-range kick attacks, propelling the balls towards his enemies with force. The balls can also get caught on fire, allowing for flaming balls to be launched at his opponents.

Trahl is very much a fighter that gets what needs to be done as quickly as possible. He runs fast and most of his attacks are kick-oriented. Drop-kicks and jump kicks are the order of the day for him. He’s also gotten incredibly skilled at accurately projecting where to kick his projectiles, so his perception is also quite high. Other than that, he has the regular build of someone who plays a lot of sports, so his stamina and endurance are not to be underestimated.

Misc.

 * He’d known Rhame for a while before he came to Beacon, and both are fairly good friends.
