Silver Galahad

Silver Galahad is a returning second year student at Beacon and a current member of Team SLTE (pronounced SLATE), along with Livid Percy, Tiffany Catherent, and Ebon Lionheart. After a year hiatus of hunting Grimm with his team and his father. He returned to finish his schooling and compete in the Vytal Festival.

Appearance
Silver stands at an average height with a slightly toned body and a scar on his right cheek. His silver hair is shaggy and unkempt. He dresses as a bartender in fine shirts and a vest daily, continuing the family trend and business. His right hand has a ring on the index finger that wraps around in the shape of a knotted serpent. He constantly wears sunglasses to hide his stark blue eyes the betray his Faunus heritage. He also speaks in a light British accent. He has a pocket watch given to him by his father the day he was accepted into Beacon, a family heirloom. He always carries around a cane, and within said cane lies his own personal weapon; "Sable".

Personality
As the leader of Team SLTE, he always carries himself with a sense of pride and confidence that his teammates admire. Often known to be relaxed, humble and personable, he tends to hide his true feelings about situations or conversations in an attempt to please the person(s) he is talking to. He often grins and laughs through everything and loves to spar with those who desire it. Sometimes, however, he will slip away from others to decompress and start fresh.

Above all else, he values his team and protecting his friends. During his first year at Beacon he had fallen for Velvet Scarlatina, only to hide his affection until his departure and then his inevitable return.

History
Silver grew up in a small subcity of Mistral with his mother Lily and father Regal. Being a half Faunus (his mother was a faunus with yellow eyes, similar to his blue eyes), he never received much discrimination in the area he grew up. Making good friends with his would-be teammates and working in his family's bar called The Nighteye, he continued to have a good childhood; until one day, a group consisting of White Fang members entered his bar one night without warning. They came to retreive valuable information from his mother, who was an ex-member of the White Fang. A conflict arose, and soon the bar was alight with Dust and gunfire. Before long most of the bar was totaled and his mother lay dead in his arms.

Years of sorrow and regret followed, and soon he dedicated himself to a life of hunting; his drive being his mothers memory and his hatred for the White Fang. He soon dawned a par of sunglasses to hide his heritage from any discriminators and rose to the forefront of his class. After graduation with flying colors, he and his friends shipped off to Beacon to join the rising stars assembling there. His only goal was to become a Hunter to protect the innocent and end the hatred between Faunus and Humans, and in turn, stopping the White Fang.

Weapon
Silver wields his special cane, "Sable". The cane sword has a handle in the shape of a pistol which can extend to become more like a sword hilt. The trigger rests on said handle, sitting behind the revolver chamber that cycles through different dusts to use in combat. While inside the sheath/cane, it can be fired like a rifle for long ranged shots as well as used as a blunt weapon that channels the dust and gives it more potent (and damaging) properties. When drawn, however, it is a sword with unmatched precision. As a type of dust is selected, the edges of the blade glow in coordination with the dust being used. This gives it the ability to burn or freeze on contact, and much more. The blade can also fold back, resting like two bayonets on the top and bottom of the barrel of the pistol. This pistol can then shoot dust rounds with various types of dust. This weapon is descret, quick, and deadly; much like the name suggests.

Semblance
Although his Faunus senses may appear to be his Semblance to those who do not know his heritage, it is actually far different. He wields a unique ability called "Faze Shift", wherein he can take on the appearance of never being touched, much like his idol Pyrrha Nikos.

For example, if he were to activate his Semblance as someone threw a punch directed at his face, the fist would simply pass through him. He could then turn off his Semblance, materializing up close and personal to use his own fighting techniques. His semblance is often used as a defensive strategy, as well as a means to get closer to his opponents.

Fighting Style
Being quick and nearly untouchable, he tends to get close to his enemies and use close quarter kicks, punches and vaults to stun and defeat his enemies, while also using the terrain and his own speed and aura to defend and aid him in combat.
