Indigo Tinctorius

"A loss in a sparring match means the loss of loved ones in a war. With that in mind, I'll never lose."

- Indigo

Indigo Tinctor is a faunus attending Beacon Academy. He is the stoic, reckless leader of Team IDGO, and the partner of Dahlia Violetto. He used to serve the White Fang as one of its most elite and loyal members.

Appearance
Indigo is a tall young man with spiky black and indigo hair and indigo eyes. He has a vertical scar over his right eye. His faunus trait is his ears, which he cut off after leaving the White Fang. He wears an unbuttoned indigo jacket with its sleeves torn off, a sleeveless white shirt, black trousers and black combat boots. He wears a black belt around his waist, as well as a silver chain from one corner of his left front pocket to one corner of his left back pocket. An long indigo scarf is wrapped his neck. His symbol, a full moon with three claw marks ripping through it, can be seen on the back of his jacket.

Personality
Indigo is a quiet, stoic individual who doesn't talk all that much. He is almost always expressionless, showing practically no emotions. Although he might not show it, he cares deeply about his friends, especially his teammates, and will often take life-and-death risks in order to protect them. Indigo also suffers from PTSD, which stems from his troubled past.

Weapons and Abilities
Indigo's weapons are Aura Enhanced Gun Blades (AEGBs) named Bloody Memories. They consist of two machine pistols, each with a slightly curved katana attached it. The pistols are indigo with a single black stripe from the butt of the gun to the end of the barrel. When the situation demands, Indigo can enhance the lethality and piercing power of the blades and bullets using his aura.

Semblance
Indigo's semblance, Berserk, amplifies his aura's power dramatically. His aura emanates from his body as flickering indigo flames. This semblance also provides him access to powerful aura abilities, each with its own properties.

If Indigo witnesses his comrades injured by another being, his PTSD will trigger his semblance and cause him to run wild, viciously attacking the supposed perpetrator until he/she/it is dead.

Background
Indigo endured a very troubled childhood. His parents used to be part of the White Fang. However, when his mother became pregnant with him, his parents left the White Fang to start a family. They raised him along with three younger sisters. Unfortunately, several years later, the White Fang located the family. Indigo's father, mother, and three little sisters were murdered before his very eyes. Indigo was spared and trained as a member of the White Fang. He quickly rose among the ranks, becoming one of the White Fang's most elite members. On one mission, he was sent to kill a former member of the White Fang. He found the member's home, only to find that he had married and started a family. Remembering his own family, he refused to kill them. Ashamed and enraged, he aborted the mission, returned to his base, and wiped out everyone inside. He left no survivors. After the massacre, he tearfully cut off his faunus ears and left the White Fang. He lived on the streets for several months, surviving on whatever he could obtain, sometimes through theft. One day, Professor Ozpin walked through the city and saw him fight off several gang members with ease. Seeing his potential, he offered Indigo the chance to enroll into Beacon Academy. Seeing a better future in going to the prestigious school, he agreed.
