Hashigo Burakku

"The mind is the greatest weapon. No weapon, technology, or special skills can replace it. The mind is the one thing that separates us from the Grimm, as well as the only thing that can protect us."

- Hashigo, addressing his students

Hasigo Burakku, also known as Master Sigma, is the rat father of Yuri Burakku, and the leader of The 13 Brotherhood.

Appearance:
He appears as a average man, but with a short rat nose with whiskers, and a rat tail, both literally and as a hairstyle. He also has a fu-manchu mustache. He wears a black Kimono, with Silver linings and drawings, most notably Fire and Dragons.

He is stern, but caring, teaching his daughter and Assassins how to fight and survive. He is a kind father figure, but threaten his family he will fight to the death to protect them.

Backstory:
Born into a poor Faunus family in Mistral, he studied combat as well as negotiations, becoming a figurehead for Faunus Rights during the Revolution. With no parents due to a Grimm attack, he was orphaned, learning the arts of stealth from the streets and the Mistral underground. He also had a dark secret, as he was an Assassin, killing for money and created the Elemental Force Styles, different fighting styles based on the elements.

Marrying Squirrel Faunus Hana Pinku, they had a child, Yuri, who gained her mother's Traits as a flying squirrel. 6 Years later, their village was attacked by Grimm, and Hana died protecting Yuri from a Death Stalker, as well as the rest of the town. Grieving, he decided to start working with other Faunus to get equal rights, as Hana always wished it could be a reality. Years later, he and Yuri, now a fit teenage girl, were invited to go to Atlas to participate in a peace conference. With nothing at home,

During that trip to Atlas with his now 16 year old Daughter, tragedy struck. The first White Fang terrorists, called the 2nd generation of the White Fang, attacked and destroyed the conference building, killing 40-50 people and wounding hundreds, and framed Hashigo for the attacks, as he was nearby during the meeting and was the sole survivor. Escaping the police with Yuri, they were able to call their long time friends, who were also assassins, and decided to get revenge on the corrupt Government and White Fang. With that, they formed The 13 Brotherhood, and began their reign of black ops missions and sabotage on both governments and White Fang.

Weapon: Old Ways
His weapon, named Old Ways, is a large Bo Staff with a hidden Katana with Many types of dust built inside it.

The Bo Staff looks like a stick of bamboo, but it's actually smoothed metalwood, with a nice wood feel, but stronger than steel. It also has 2 Steel grey caps with gold trim on each side, for decoration, and a tightly bound leather grip on each end.

The Katana is built into one of the sides of the Staff, with a Small folding handguard, and a blade made of multiple types of dust for elemental properties, and a special type of steel mined in a incredibly dangerous part of Vacuo, deep in Grimm territory, but is so strong, light, and powerful, he has been known to slice through reinforced TANK armor with ease. His slashes allow the launching of dust slashes, allowing ranged attacks.

Equipment:
He carries a large assortment of gear, including shurikens, smoke bombs, grappling hooks, and many other ninja gear.

Skills:

 * Mastered and created all 12 Elemental Forces fighting styles, and the only person known to master the Masterio Style.
 * Master martial arts expert.
 * Close combat master.
 * Can dodge a bullet from 10 ft. away

Semblance: Masters Touch
His Semblance, Masters Touch, enhances his reaction speed to superhuman levels. The average reaction to a visual stimulus is .25, .17 for audio, and .15 for touch. This increases it to .005 for visual, .009 for audio, and .050 for touch. Basically, he can be touched, but you gotta be fast as hell to do it. This is NOT auto dodge, as he, form his perspective, slows time down to go at a reduced rate, but to people it seems he moves at an incredible speed.
