Saffron Cimmeria

"Alright, Grimm Slaying Time!"

- Saffron, upon landing during the Initiation.

Saffron Cimmeria is an original character based on the RWBY-verse. His partner is Albus Bayeux and a part of Team AEGS. He was created on December 7, 2013 and is the property of Zelkstone.

Appearance
Saffron Cimmeria is about 5'11" and has a slightly muscular build. He has red hair(with a strand sticking out) and green eyes. He wears a blue jacket with red trimmings on top of a white shirt, blue pants with red belts on the pant legs, and blue shoes.

He can also be seen wearing brown gloves.

Personality
Upon first meeting Saffron, you can already describe him in a couple of ways: Loud, Prone to Fights, No regard for Personal Space, and generally rude with his answers. His teammates, who will also agree on the previous assumptions, also note that he can be quiet when he needs to, willing to stop fighting to save/protect someone, will leave if you ask him to, and apologize given enough time. Everything he does, you can say he does on a whim, or when it strikes his fancy. But there's not a more reliable teammate than him whenever you are in trouble or when someone needs saving.

History
The teachers couldn't explain Saffron's complete change in behaviour. A few days ago, he was happy, loud, had a few close friends and was generally nice. Now, he always had a frown on his face, wouldn't answer when called upon, and even isolated himself from his friends. Saffron, meanwhile, had just received word that his parents were killed by the Grimm when they were forced to walk on their way home. He would just sit there doing nothing until it was Practical Training. He would wait with an impatient look on his face until the Grimm he was practicing on was released. He would then rush in and kill the Grimm before it could even take a few steps.

One day, before the start of another training session, Saffron heard that he was being called to the teacher's staff room. Angry that he was being called off from his next potential prey, he grudgingly walked towards the room. There, he was face to face with his grandmother, which greatly surprised him. Having heard from his teachers, his grandmother offered him a proposal: If he would quietly finish his training in this school and then get admitted into Beacon, he could learn more about the Grimm and kill them as much as he wished. The teachers were understandably shocked by this grandmother's words, and attributed it to losing her son and daughter-in-law. Saffron, for his part, agreed to his grandmother's proposal immediately. He had heard about Beacon, and saw it as a great opportunity to vent his anger and frustration on the Grimm, regardless if they were the ones who killed his parents or not.

So, until he turned 17, he trained and trained. He occasionally asked for help from his teachers, from tips on weapons handling to advanced sword tactics. When it came to making his weapon, his grandmother offered her assistance. As a Dust Engineer, she asked him what type of weapon he wanted. He answered that he only wanted a sword, something that could be easily put away without using a scabbard, and extremely lethal against the Grimm.

After successfully completing his training on this combat school, Saffron was now heading for Vale. He had his grandmother's support as well as some of the money given to him when his parents died. He boarded the ship for Vale without so much as looking back. He was determined to learn how to swiftly end the life of any Grimm he faced, and Beacon Academy was his best bet. After the Ship landed in Vale, he got off and walked around the city. It wasn't long before he got lost. He tried asking for directions on how to get to Beacon, but due to his attitude and sour expression, he was completely ignored or shooed away.

After walking for what seemed like 2 hours with no progress, he sat on a bench and did some thinking.
