Oxford Dayshaun

A work in progress

Appearance
Oxford is a tall, fair skinned boy with fairly long blue hair. He ties the front part of his hair back in a half pigtail of sorts and a white headband around his forehead. He wears a traditional black cutaway coat with a grey putnam vest over a white tombstone shirt. He also wears a silver mechanical watch with chain and black brushed cotton trousers with black leather lace up boots. He carries a Victorian style cane which contains a concealed blade (the blade has a flintlock barrel attached to the right side of it with the flint and steel on the top of the blades hilt and the trigger on the bottom) which he uses as his primary weapon. He also has a large tattoo on his back of the Japanese symbol for fire or Kanji but however has no recollection of ever getting it.

Personality
At first glance Oxford appears to be just another overconfident rich kid. However, when he is with his friends or "allies" he tends to show the true side of his personality where he is very humorous and is a born leader and has a soft spot for the ladies. He is a very courteous, friendly, easy going and a highly sophisticated hunter in training who cares deeply about his friends safety and well-being and will easily choose to suffer from pain than to let someone else who he cares about have to suffer. However he is also quite arrogant when he wants to be and will never say no to a fight. Oxford would help out anyone in need without even a moments hesitation and is very trusting in those who he has witnessed in action.

History
Oxford was born into an extremely wealthy family known as the Winchester family which was part of the widely known Imperium Clan. The family itself owned an extremely large weapon manufacturing company and dust company known as Atomica industries and was well known for being a family of world class swordsman. The head of the clan at this time and to this day is Oxfords' grandfather Porpora Leonardo Winchester, a giant of a man who believes that faunus are nothing more than an infestation and that man should wipe out the weak in order for them to progress. Because of his strong belief the business had become the victim of many violent protests from The White Fang and faunus in general, however the company had taken advantage of this and and purposefully severely injured all of the faunus who attacked their shops stating that it was self defence.

The way the clan had worked for many generations was that each family would carefully select one of its members. Once each family had chosen the chosen members would then have to find and kill one another until only one person remained. After this had been done the winner would then become the owner of all each families entire wealth, land and businesses. Oxfords' grandfather had planned for Oxford to be selected and since the age of 5 has been training him to be the ultimate killing machine in order to keep his family as the leader of the clans. Oxford was not aware of the clans ways at the time and happily accepted his grandfathers offering to train him believing that it was training to make him into a hunter. After 5 years of solid training he had become an extremely skilled swordsman being unbeatable in fencing and swordmanship in general. To his grandfather's dismay he had not yet unlocked his semblance but however had a larger than average amount of aura which he thought made up for it.

While at a gathering between all of the families, Oxford met a young boy from one the families named Clovis Remington who he soon became friends with. He then asked his grandfather if he were allowed to train with Clovis which his grandfather strangely accepted. Within a year of training the two had become an unbeatable pair who formed an extremely strong friendship with eachother. During that year Clovis had peaked Oxfords' interest by introducing him to many types of firearms, of which the flintlock was his most favourite. When learning how to use one Oxford decided it was time he had created his own unique weapon and created his sword gun inside of a cane, which he named Excalibur after the sword of legend.

After 7 more years of training with his friend and after being taught how to be an honourable gentlemen by his father, Oxford had then decided to tell his grandfather that he was ready to become a hunter and was filled with joy as he was about to inform him that it was time. As he approached the door he heard his grandfathers voice speaking with someone else on the phone and put his ear against the door to listen out of curiosity. He heard his grandfather explain the true reason behind his training and his intention for him to kill the other chosen members of each family including Clovis and that he would then kill Oxford in order for him to gain power once more. Oxford was horrified by his grandfather's awful intentions and ran away in tears with Excalibur in hand from what he believed was a betrayal.

He ran far from his mansion until he reached a nearby town. He arrived at the town and while catching his breathe he quickly realised he was being pursued by a group of masked men. Enraged by this he quickly sprinted towards the attackers and swung his sword at each of the masked men one at a time in quick succession but not one of them flinched or appeared to be damaged by the attacks. They quickly grabbed Oxford and pinned him against the wall. Then from out of the shadows his grandfather appeared. He stated that his escape attempt was futile and would only cause more problems for himself. Oxford then exclaimed that he would have no part in the clans bloodshed. His grandfather chuckled and stated that the strong will eliminate the weak and that they would be victorious and there was no way for Oxford to avoid it. Oxford then exclaimed that he didn't give a damn about what he believed and said he was disgusted by his grandfather's beliefs against faunus and how society should be run.

His grandfather chuckled and ordered his men to let Oxford go. They quickly did so and Oxford slowly walked up to Oxford and stated "In exactly 2 years time you will be brought back here to fight for leadership over the clan. You can hide wherever you see fit but know that you will never escape me and what you will become". The man was beyond intimidating and after he looked into his eyes Oxford then started shaking rather rapidly with his breathing going haywire and sweat pouring from his forehead. He then yelled out and ran far from the town with eyes wide and fearing what he was going to become.

He boarded an airship to Vale uninvited and afraid. As he rested he then took a deep breath and thought about his situation and what he thought. He hated his grandfather, he rejected his beliefs, he hated his plan and he was unable to comprehend how evil he was. He vowed that he would not become a disease to society like he was and instead would treat people with kindest and respect whether they were human or faunus, strong or weak. He then pondered how he would become strong enough to fight against those who will come for him and decided he would become a huntsman in order to protect himself and to become what he thought he was training for as a child. Once he arrived in Vale he tracked down one of his family members to the edge of the city.

Once he arrived at the location he found that it was a warehouse. Confused, he wandered into the warehouse to be suddenly attacked by a masked man with a hammer. He quickly dodged his attacked and went into his attack stance. The man then recognized the stance and immediately stopped his attack stating "Who the hell are you?"."I am Oxford Winchester the grandson of Porpora Winchester". The man put down his hammer and said "I'm guessing if your here that you found out about the clans ways". Oxford was in shock by this and said "How do you know?". The man said with a smile "Im your uncle. I know everything". After explaining the situation to his uncle, his uncle offered to let him stay at the warehouse, to which Oxford accepted.

Day after day his uncle trained him to defend against those who would come for him by teaching him which was not very difficult as Oxford had already possessed great fighting skilled but was no match for his uncle. During training his uncle would often shout "Steady your breathing! The second you feel anger or fear towards your opponent is the moment you lose! Overcome that fear and cut through it!". After a few weeks of this training his uncle told him that there was nothing else he could teach Oxford. He then told him that he had talked to the headmaster of Beacon Academy and managed to get him into the school. Oxford was delighted by this and decided that he would use his time in Beacon in order to train to become stronger, unlock his semblance and one day become a huntsman.

Weapons and Abilities
Excalibur

Excalibur is a flintlock sword that is concealed within a Victorian style cane. As stated above the barrel is attached to the right side of the blade above the hilt.The flint and steel rest on the top of the hilt and the trigger rests at the bottom of the hilt. Inside of the hilt itself there is the ammuntition needed and the dust capsules next to them. The bullets fired will probably kill a Grimm in 2 shots while the blade will take one. The weapon can enter Molten Mode which is when its fire dust function is activated and the blade is able to cut through metals much more efficiently while its bullets are able to also pierce metals much more easily although the bullets and blade will not be able to pierce diamond or obsidian. The weapon can also enter Frost Mode where the slashes from the blade can cause ice to form on both objects and people. There is a switch on top of the hilt behind the trigger that lets him switch between the modes of the weapon. Oxford has had 7 years worth of training with his weapon and has a large understanding of its capabilities. When in either of the two modes mentioned above if he were to slash the air the sword would form projectiles which travel in the direction that the sword slashed and sometimes homing in on opponents. He is also able to shoot to switch modes quite fast and can fire multiple bullets in quic succession but can only fire 3 bullets rapidly at a time when trying to make preicse shots.

Throwing Knives

Inside of his coat he carries an abundance of throwing knives which he uses for mid range combat and for precision. He would use them in case he was unarmed or in a situation where his life is at risk. However he would not normally use this in a duel or in a tournament as he sees this as cowardly and unfair.

Trained from a young age

Oxford was trained at the early age of 5 in order to win against the other families in the clan. He was trained specifically for assassinating, protecting against an assassination, world class swordsmanship, mediocre hand to hand combat skills and marksmanship. Because of this he possesses a high amount of strength, skill and speed but however possesses a low amount of flexibility, experience and stamina.
