Grey Steel

Profile:

Appearance:

Being a member of the Revenants he needs to stay fit and healthy enough for any mission he’s assigned to. He has a fair degree of muscles but when it comes to physical strength, he’s stronger than the average member. Unknown to most however he has a notable scar on his right eye, not many know due to wearing a mask almost 24/7.

Grey will usually wear dark grey jacket with armor beneath it, spaulders on both his arms, grey armored trousers and dark brown combat boots. Most notable of the outfit is his steel mask which acts as his visors and installed HUD, also for face protection. It is never taken off unless alone or taking a shower. He keeps his katana sheathed on his back.

 

Personality:

General: He’s generally lazy when doing things he doesn’t like and shown to be unsocial unless it’s his friends or people related to the mission. But when around friends, he’s quite empathetic towards others and would often help them by giving wisdom or other means. He gained arachnophobia from a young age and still has it now due to being bitten in the face by a spider.

Within combat: He is very protective of his friends. In any tight situations where the whole team is in trouble, he always prioritize protection for them instead of his own. When he sees his fellow teammate takes fatal damage from an opponents he will slightly reveal a sadistic side which rarely triggers. In less serious combat situation he would reveal a cocky side of him and will often tease his opponents.

History:

Grey never really met his parents. Instead, he was left to man who owned an orphanage school in a small village who then later became his mentor in training how to fight. Throughout his childhood, he has been taught by this man in a caring nature in both knowledge and sword techniques. Grey later became his pupil and learned most of his wisdom at a young age. Since this is a school, he had many duels among his classmates and had a strong rivalry with another. At some point an incident happened with a failed demonstration from the teacher which caused him to gain a scar on his right eye. At age 12, the school was set alight by unknown culprits. The master told Grey to evacuate everyone in the school to a safe location. After doing so he came back to find his master in a secret room. Confused by everything that’s happened, he asked what was going on only to be blacked out by the master. After he woke up, he was alone in the room, undamaged. Grey investigated and found a letter on a table which tells him about the equipment in a chest and a location in Atlas. He took the contents in the chest, including his masters old equipment, his master’s prized sword, Haiiro No Tamashii and a mask which hides the users whole face. He couldn’t wear the equipment since he was too small for it but he still wore the mask. After claiming the equipment, he packed up and searched for the location his master told him.

After a few days of traveling he reached Atlas and started to ask questions about the location until he met a man named Mobius. He took him to the location, revealed to be a secret base. There, Grey was interrogated by Mobius and others. He told them all about what happened a few days back. After further talks, it was revealed that they were mercenaries and his very own master was one as well. The Director of the group personally invited Grey to join (in which he had no other choice but to join). He trained with the teachers in the mercenary corporation, learning hand to hand combat, climbing and most important of all adapting. Eventually he was assign to a team in which became the leader of it. It was at age 16 where Grey could fully wear his master’s armor and received an upgrade to Haiiro No Tamashii into to a sword capable of infusing dust to the metal and its sheath into a battle rifle, never once was his mask taken off. During his time there he participated in many Grimm extermination and assassination missions with his team. At 18, he received a mission from the Director about moving to Vale in which needed Grey and his team to attend to Beacon Academy.

Abilities:

Semblance

Spectral Bladed Chains: Allows Grey to cast spectral chains from his body or anywhere with 1 meter from him. Its main usages is to drag opponents to his vicinity or pull himself to climb a certain height or pull objects from far away. However, it only has a 20 meter length limit and can only summon 2 chains at a time. At the end of the chain is a blade, which can inflict minor damage.

Weapon

Haiiro No Tamashi: A katana/battle rifle hybrid (KBRH) and Grey's primary weapon. He mainly uses the blade as he’s far more skilled in CQC than ranged combat. The rifle part is installed in his sheath and is able to fire normal bullets just like any gun but when sheathed with his katana, it will be stronger and covered with dust as the katana itself is infused with it.

Grey’s fighting style is a fast action hack and slash. He is able to block strong attacks but has its limit as it can’t block charged heavy weapon attacks such as hammers or oversized weapons. His reflexes with the katana are one of the best in the Corp as he can slash away firearm and dust projectiles. When he is disarmed of the sword, he would use the battle rifle as backup until he retrieves it back.

Non Semblance: Throughout his career as a mercenary, he was able to pick up skills such as reading expressions, interrogations, adapting and climbing. Hand to hand combat is taught to all members by the trainers as a standard skills for the Corp. Being the leader of his team, naturally he would be a tactician, able to plan out missions on the job.
