Oryon Helyd

"It's does look a little too far to jump. ...Screw it I'm doing it anyway."

Appearance
Oryon is a shorter-than-average male with a light tan complexion and caramel-brown eyes. He has curly light-orange hair that sticks out in all directions. He wears a baggy pale orange shirt with bright orange trim around the collar and sleeves, with black straps across his chest and waist that holds a custom-made holster that holds his bat in place when not in use. He wears black 3/4 shorts with bright orange trim down the sides and along the bottom of the pants and a pair of laceless soap shoes with the same colour scheme as his pants, black and bright orange.

Oryon's arms are wrapped in bandages from the elbow down, leaving only the tips of his fingers exposed, and from his knees down to his feet. These are for his self-proclaimed 'style' and for protection during parkour. He also has a pair of custom-made goggles with black straps and orange tinted lenses to aid in low-light areas and protect his eyes when using Rumble.

Personality
Oryon is the type of person that everybody can say they have noticed at least once, for better or worse. He commands a very boisterous and outgoing personality that is energetic without being overly hyperactive; a type of charisma that comes from friendly words and a welcoming attitude rather than smooth-talking and playing to what others like. While some find this irritating, more often than not this makes it easy for Oryon to make friends or have his opinions and words heard and considered. He is a mediator, looking for the best and quickest route to smoothing over any situation; whether social or in combat. This makes him a decent leader and strategist, and his years of reading every book about hunters and huntresses, both fictional and non-fictional, has given him a good grasp on combat strategy.

However, Oryon does have a surprisingly stubborn streak when it comes to self-improvement and success. Once he gets an idea in his head or wants to try something; he will do it, consequences he damned. This had led to many a broken bone and scar, as well as being removed from or asked to leave the premises of various businesses in Vale. He isn’t a trouble maker so much as overly enthusiastic.

Having grown up in the general safety of Vale, Oryon is unexperienced in the hardships and suffering that can occur in less safe areas. This combined with his storybook view of hunting and heroics can create an overly-romanticised view of these events and issues, making him seem apathetic or rude to those who have seen the truth of it. If called out, however, he will be immensely apologetic and will go above and beyond to smooth over any transgressions or dislike from others.

There are very few things that can upset or irritate Oryon. However, people being cruel or rude for little to no reason will prompt a mediated verbal berating, regardless of whom it is. The one button to push that will Oryon as close to rage as anyone has seen him come is if someone talks bad about Rumble. Oryon is so heavily attached to his bat that any insults or dislike towards it are extremely insulting and will make him very defensive very quickly.

History
Oryon was born to Hyris and Chloe Helyd, a loving couple that ran a small bookstore in the quieter area of Vale. While they weren’t rich, and at times had to scrape by when sales were low, Oryon did not go without anything he needed and had a comfortable childhood. He became interested in reading at a small age, becoming enraptured in the stories of heroes and hunters. This started a period of Oryon’s life where he became obsessed with being a hero. It started with him making stories about his heroics to tell his mother and father, who found them amusing, which slowly grew into a drive to explore and be a hero.

Oryon began to wander, exploring every rooftop and nook and cranny of the area surrounding his home, the bookstore. This exploration would continue, expanding further and further outward, until he knew a large part of his district almost instinctively; every secret route and hideaway. He still continued to share these stories with his parents, who despite their trepidation were willing to let him continue to explore, as well as his younger brother. On one such exploration to a nearby junkyard, Oryon found Rumble, his dust-powered baseball bat, and once he found it worked was inseparable from it.

Still obsessed with being hero Oryon took to wandering the district from rooftop to rooftop; seeking out those in trouble and leaping in to help, before disappearing down a labyrinth of alleyways or over a rooftop once the trouble was dealt with. He kept these activities secret from his parents.

Knowing his love for hunters and huntresses, his parents enrolled him in Signal Academy where he began his training to be a hunter. And after he graduated from Signal, he enrolled in Beacon.

Weapon
Rumble is Oryon’s Dust-Powered Baseball Bat (DPBB) that he found when he was younger in a scrapyard during one of his many explorative moods. An old model of weapon, the bat does not have a transformative or ranged mode; instead only able to use dust to enhance the bat with different effects depending on the dust crystal used. Oryon is not even sure if the bat is working as efficiently as it could, as he never had the interest in seeing how it worked; happy with what it could already do.

Rumble works by imparting its blows and strikes with the effects and energy of the dust crystal it is using. The harder a strike the more power is generated and the stronger the effect. A small tap powered by a red crystal may cause a tiny spark, and a full blow will generate a powerful and devastating fiery explosion. It can also be turned off by rotating the bottom of the handle, which is where the crystal is placed to power it, until it clicks.

Oryon has found that by striking a solid projectile with Rumble, he can not only temporarily impart the elemental effect to the object, but can also significantly increase the speed and force behind the object, turning it into a dangerous projecticle. However, he can only do so if there is an object on hand that can survive the strike and can only be done as fast as he can swing and aim; making it limited in its use.

Ability
Thanks to his height and general size, Oryon is not as physically strong as most others. He makes up for this with his speed, mobility and flexibility; weaving his way around and dodging instead of blocking and defending. This means that Oryon is a very fast runner and climber, combining these skills with his use of Rumble to good effect.

His aura glows orange, and is capable of shielding him from damage; a helpful skill thanks to Rumble’s occasionally tendency for stray flames.

Oryon’s semblance, ‘Shift’, allows him to use his aura to move while in midair, such as changing direction or allowing him another jump. However, this ability drains his aura heavily and can only be safely used a maximum of three times before he needs to rest and restore his aura.
