Bryan Hyacintho



Apperance
Bryan's complexion is pale. He also has two different eye colors; one red and one green. He wears a blue coat and a black shirt with a neon-green design inside. He also possesses white/silver hair. Without his clothing, he was seen as a muscular young man and his emblem is tattooed on his back. He also wears a dog tag with his name on the front and at the back, there are carvings, in the form of letters, which form "B+R". He does not take off this dog tag.



History
Bryan belongs to a family of Hunters. He signed up in Beacon to follow his families' tradition. In Beacon he met Rachel Red, a beautiful girl with long brown hair and silver eyes. She became Bryan's leader and also his girlfriend. They loved each other very much. Until something horrible happened.

When Beacon heard of a group of 5 Death Stalkers were on their way to the school, Bryan, Rachel and other Hunters were sent to eradicate them. When the two lovers met their opponent, everything went smoothly. But that's when a Death Bringer arrived. They were outnumbered, but managed to kill the Death Stalker. The Death Bringer, however, was too much for them. When the grimm was about to stab Bryan with its stinger, Rachel pushed him away and was the one who took the hit. Angered, Bryan killed the Death Bringer, in the most brutal way anyone could think of.

After removing the stinger that stabbed Rachel, Bryan tried to bring Rachel back to Beacon. But Rachel said that it was too late and told Bryan to leave her to die and help their classmates defeat the other monsters. Crying, Bryan did not leave her side and waited for her...to die. Rachel died, smiling at Bryan as her last "words" to him.

When Rachel no longer has any breath left, it rained. Because of this, Bryan's teammates thought of him as a failure for letting their leader die. However, after a few days, Bryan's teammates were reported to have died after a road accident. Now, left alone, Bryan was ordered by Ozpin to go through the initiation once more in order to find a new team. He agreed and is now waiting for next year for the next batch of new students.

Personality
When Rachel was still alive, Bryan was a fun-loving person that always cared for his teammates, espescially Rachel. He was caring, loving and very brave. After Rachel and his two other teammates died, however, he started to think of himself as a failure. He rejects other people or sometimes keeps his distance away from them, because he does not want to see them die. Deep inside, he is still caring, but on the outside, he rejects people and became antisocial. He also lacks respect, sometimes addressing his teachers by their first name. If he talks to someone, he wants to keep the conversation short. He would always call a person by using their last name instead of their first.

He prefers apples over any kind of food.

He gets sentimental when it rains, reminding him of Rachel's death.

Relationships

 * Rachel Red - Bryan's leader and lover. They have a very good relationship, to the point that they already wanted to get married. Bryan still loves her, even after death.
 * Ivory Aquino - Bryan's dead teammate. Although there were times that they would argue on almost every single thing, there comes a time when they actually treat each other like brothers.
 * Navajo White -Bryan's dead teammate. Despite the thing that NV did to him, he has forgiven her already and became good friends.

Weapon
His weapon of choice is a Rocket Propelled Charge Spear (RPCS) called The Rejector. It is a gigantic, metal spear whose blade has Dust powered rockets on the side. The use of the rockets are to improve the speed of both the user and the spear's speed when thrown. There is a button on the spear's handle that activates the rockets.

The rockets have a 10 second interval, stopping the rockets' activation after 10 seconds. The rockets can also be reversed by using a switch near the activating button. It is also durable, able to withstand a Death Stalker's stinger and claws. Bryan uses Sojutsu, a fighting style in ancient Japan that uses spears, on The Rejector.



When not in use, the handle shortens, the rockets enclose and leather straps appear from its back, turning into a giant backpack.

Combat
As stated on his weapon, he uses Sojutsu as his main fighting style. He also possess incredible strength, as he is able to carry his weapon which is heavier than him. He also excels in hand-to-hand combat. Being a senior student in Beacon, he probably has more experience than most students in the campus. In battle, he is most likely to be the front-line attacker or also the tactitian, because of his inteligence.
