Skailyn Arcus

"Oh, haha! You don't notice do you? I'm wearing a male student uniform. Now what does that tell you?"

- Skailyn talking to Liam Hearts

Skailyn is an original charcter to the RWBY-universe that is a student at Beacon Academy. This OC was created by Skitti, and is his first.

Appearance
Skailyn may be a guy, but he has the figure of a beautiful woman. He has curves and the prettiest face that would melt any man's heart in a heartbeat. His hair is short, but wavy and smooth, almost looking silky in a way. The tips of the hair turn into curls and look so cute.

Clothing:

Light blue tank top with short sleeves and black skinny jeans with a silver embroidery on the pockets that takes the pattern of little clouds. A silver belt with a black buckle. Silver feminine looking boots that go up to knees, with a pale blue zipper going up each boot. Grey bracelets that hold the pale blue ribbons that wrap around Skitti's arms in a long fingerless glove style. And last but not least, a sapphire-cut cloud ring. This ring is centuries old and passed down through the generations.

Personality
Skailyn is a very kind person. He loves making friends and being happy. Any negativity makes him feel sad. Skailyn also has a good sense of humor and uses that to lighten people's moods. He loves cute things, especially cute animals and the like. Skailyn knows he's beautiful, but he doesn't use his looks for his advantage. He wants to find the right guy the fair way. But that doesn't mean he likes to act as cute as possible. But there is another side to Skailyn altogether. If you piss him off he will get very angry and scary. And if you hurt any one of his friends, you would want to run the first chance you get, for Skailyn shows no mercy after that and gets so angry he doesn't realize what he's doing, and after his fit he will "wake up" wondering what happened.

Weapon
Skailyn's weapon is very unusual. The ribbons wrapped around his arms are his weapons! These specially made ribbons were created so that they were close to impossible at being torn or sliced up. He unravels the ribbons at great speed and uses them to lash at his target. They are great for whips and grabbing ahold of the target and either flinging them off or slamming them to the ground. He can also use these ribbons to hit at the ground or other surfaces and jump high into air. These ribbons are also lined with a thin yet sharp blade on the sides, able to slice at targets.

Aura & Semblance
Aura: Skailyn's aura is a pale blue, matching his eyes and the color of a clear sky, symbolizing that the sky's the limit.

Semblance: The ability to create a heavy mist or fog. He uses this when his weapon just isn't enough. He likes to use this when he needs to sneak up on an oppenent and strike at them with his ribbons, surround his oppenent so it's hard for them to see, or conceal his teammates.

Backstory
Skailyn was born in a small town near a mountain range. He lived with his mother and father and is seven years older than his sister. He was pretty poor, so his family, like the other townies, were humbled. Skailyn was never really bullied all that much, but actually flirted with a lot by the boys, especially in high school. He wanted to become a Hunter ever since he was a young boy. His grandmother was a retired Huntress and told him fascinating stories of the Grimm and her team and Beacon Academy. Skailyn was awe-inspired. He wanted to be just like her, so she taught him her special fighting techniques. Since she was a professional dancer as well, her fighting style was very close to a graceful dance. Skailyn learned and is skilled in this special fighting technique. He was able to get into Signal Academy and trained as hard as he could, but being at Signal was hard for Skailyn. He was pushed around more than usual, taking Skailyn by suprise and ruining his grades. When it came close to graduation he was a few points below passing to move on to Beacon. Skailyn was crushed and became very depressed. The last test day was close to arriving when his grandmother found out and trained him to the bone until that day came. Skailyn did his ultimate best, forgetting about the bullies and the stress and focusing on his goal, Beacon. When he passed and graduated, he was elated. Unfortunately, Skailyn's grandmother passed a few months after his graduation, but he would always remember her.
