Drake Northbrook

Appearance
Drake stands tall at 6 feet and 2 inches, with a deceptively lean body. Allowing him to be stronger than he appears. He has shaggy, dark brown hair and blue eyes along with his slightly tanned skin. He has the beginnings of a beard that he has only recently started to grow out. The scar over his left eyes is from an accident that happened a year ago.

Drake normally wears a crimson red t-shirt under his blue and red hoodie. Over that is his brown hunting jacket. The scabbard of his sword is connected to his jacket with the straps sowed to the back. Drake also wears a pair of blue jeans with a belt that holds a small bag containing his special dust. And a pair of black combat boots or brown hiking boots.

Personality
When you first meet Drake he comes off as an fun loving and easy going guy. He will greet you as if you were long lost friends with a fist bump and a really friendly grin. And overall, Drake really is very much the guy who seems like your long lost friend. However, Drake has a frighteningly short fuse, causing him to get extremely annoyed if someone seems to bump into him the wrong way. And when he becomes angry, it can become explosive.

Drake wasn't always like this. In fact, up until a few months ago, Drake was very calm, and thick skinned. However, his kid brother was running around with a kitchen knife before tripping and causing the knife to slice over Drake's eye. He hasn't been the same since.

History
Drake is the eldest son of Nelson and Catherine Northbrook, two ex-huntsmen who now run an extremely well known blacksmith shop in Vale's Capital, Vulcan's Hammer. There, he worked for his parents but acting as a cashier when he learned to count and also as a deliver boy. When Drake turned 13, he learned that his other was pregnant, and a few months later, Ben Northbrook came into the world of Remnant.

Although they were Ex-Hunters, Drake's parents never wanted that life for him. They wanted him to inherit the store and take over as the owner. However, after hearing the amazing stories from his parents about their experiences, he became dead set on following in their footsteps. While apprehensive at first, his parents eventually agreed and began to train him at age 13. By the time Drake turned 14, he decided that a sword was the best weapon for him to use. Upon making his decision, he began building his weapon. It took him 6 months to complete, even with the help of his parents, but finally Cauterizer was born.

A few months before Drake began attending Beacon, his brother, Ben, was running around with a kitchen knife that he somehow managed to get a hold of. He was running around and doing wild swings a poses, shouting that he was a hunter off to fight the Grimm. When Drake tried to get the knife back, before his brother hurt himself, Ben lashed out, thinking that he was playing along. Drake was caught by surprise and the knife caused a very cut that just barely missed his eye. A combination of the pain and his brother laughing in innocence/joy at 'slaying a Grimm' caused something to snap in Drake. And even though the wound healed, his mind didn't and now he has a very short temper. Drake hasn't talked to or even acknowledged Ben since the incident.

Weapons and Abilities
Weapon: Single-handed sword and Flamethrower

Name: Cauterizer

Ammunition: A liquified combination of red, orange, and black dust.

Modeled After: Medieval single handed sword and a flaming unit.

Cauterizer is a very unique weapon with it having about 2.5 similar but different function. The primary function is that of a classic sword. Used as a slashing and piercing weapon, It is light enough to wield without too much difficulty, while still strong enough to simply shatter. The second function is that of a flaming unit. At the press of a button on the crossgueard of the sword, the top half of the sword divides in two and slides out and back, giving the sword a two pronged look. This mode also sprays out a liquified combination of red, orange and black dust, which acts similar to napalm. The final version is a variation of the sword, however, the mixture is activated to heat up the sword to give it a red glow and can be used to melt through other weapons (if they are flimsy enough, normally spears) and create a copious amount of sparks.

Semblance
Drake's semblance is that of heat conversion and heat radiation. Upon touching and object, he can cause it to heat up, and in some cases melt if he is concentrating enough. When radiating heat, he does it in an orb with a ten foot radius with it getting hotter the closer you get to him.
