Iding Octavius

"Help you? You're hilarious, but not worth my time. I will not be bothered with saving an inconsequential worm, so pray for mercy from your opponent instead of me."

- Iding Octavius to the loser of a fight he had observed. "Child, you have so much potential. Don't make me regret aiding you."

- Iding Octavius to a child he was protecting from a Grimm attack. "I'm failing? No... No I am not... No... I will not fail... I will not fail again... I WILL NOT FAIL EVER AGAIN!"

- Iding Octavius as he began losing his temper in a fight he was losing.

Iding Octavius is a ambitious villain with good intentions but rather unorthodox methods.

Appearance
Iding Octavius is a taller than average man with a fit and slim body sculpt. He has a full head of hair. His hair is almost always tied back and reaches down to the bottom of his scapulae. The color of his hair is indigo. As for his eyes, they change depending on his Semblance, but are naturally indigo. He is devoid of body or facial hair. He has seemingly flawless, somewhat tanned skin. However, upon his back lie scars from numerous abuses during his childhood. He has ideal dental health. His nails are finely trimmed. His facial structure is similar to that of a Roman statue. As for his emblem, it is found on the back of Prosarmozo.

Iding Octavius wears blue and gold themed clothing. This consists of the following; A blue shirt with gold trimmings outlining the pectorals and sternum. A blue, long sleeved vest with gold trimmings following the shoulders, clavicle, and rims. A pair of long blue pants with gold trimmings lining the pockets and rims. All wrapped up with prim and proper blue shoes with gold trimmings lining the rims. He keeps a silver pocket watch in the left pocket of his pants with a decorated comb in the right pocket. His vest has four internal pockets. In the left pocket, closest to his sternum, lies his unnamed revolver with Dust vials in his other left pocket that is used to supply Prosarmozo. The right pocket, closest to his sternum, holds a gilded tobacco pipe with ammunition for his revolver in the other right pocket. He has no gloves, but instead has Prosarmozo attached to his left hand.

Personality
Iding Octavius is a calculative, judgmental, yet charismatic individual who will often scold others who fail to meet his expectations and will crack jokes about his opponents mid fight to aggravate them. One of his most prominent features is arrogance. He will show little to no respect to an individual upon first meeting him/her. While his opinions are subject to change, he can be fickle when trying to appeal to him. Thus leading to him barely ever showing respect to others.

To those he favors, he has utmost respect for them and will often put their safety before his own. This is due to him believing that his acquaintances are "the true heirs to a perfect world." Despite this, if he notices that his allies rely too much on him and grow lazy, he will, more often than not, abandon them.

On the battlefield, he tends to have two mentalities. If he is in a one-on-one fight, he doesn't ever need to worry. He will often slip into arrogance when in these situations. So much so that he will even begin to comb his own hair in the middle of combat. However, when in a fight against group(s), he will fight more cautiously and do what he can to leave as few openings as possible. Upon realizing that heis losing, he tends to lose his temper, thus making him rather erratic and aggressive.

Despite his power, Iding considers himself more of a catalyst or some kind of judge instead of a warrior. Sometimes he doesn't even consider himself part of humanity. Due to this, he would much rather observe fights and only jump in when he sees fit. In cases where it is one-on-one, Iding will not intervene whatsoever. In cases where it is one-against-many, Iding will aid the solitary fighter if he/she begins losing. In cases of man vs. Grimm, he will only aid man if he deems them strong enough. If he deems them unworthy, Iding will wait until the weak die or run off before slaughtering the Grimm.

Despite his seemingly unwaveringly harsh demeanor, Iding has a soft spot for young people. He believes that they are full of potential and will almost always aid them in thier time of need. Yet, due to stories about him, he is not exactly the first thing someone wants to have rescue them.

Iding believes that humanity, in its endeavors, are sacrificing too many strong lives to save weaker lives who will prove little to no use in fighting off Grimm and other dangers in Remnant. This mindset has led to him being called twisted by any who know of his agenda.

Iding is rather secretive about his past, telling little to no one about it. He refrains from doing so for two main reasons. Firstly, it brings up too many negative emotions. Along with that, he is, in a way, emotionally unstable. Thus leading to a downward spiral of emotions until he eventually losses his temper. The second reason is that it will break his regal facade that he tries to keep if information of it gets out. Many already know that he is nomadic, but know not of his origins.

He despises Grimm in any form and will personally ensure that any that he encounters will be eradicated. It doesn't matter whether it is a pack of Beowolves or a herd of Goliaths, he will slaughter them in any way he sees fit.

Iding has little tolerance for weakness and will make his opinion rather vocal. This has also contributed to his small ally count. However, when it comes to his own weakness and failure, he begins to spiral into the maelstrom of emotions he felt when he was younger. Thus resulting in him losing his temper.

Despite his twisted ideals, Iding isn't entirely evil. His intentions are for the better, but his methods are questionable. He has had a hand in the death of the innocent in both a direct and indirect way. He tends to hinder or outright stop any attempt at helping the weak. He believes it is all for the better of humanity.

Concerning Faunus, he has nothing against them specifically. He only judges upon strength and will shun any and all who fail to meet his expectations yet praise and protect any and all of whom he favors.
