Backstory
Outline:

Born in a winemaking village in Anima; coming from a family of coopers (barrel makers)

Village was destroyed by a Geist when he was 10; Sangria was the only survivor, and was saved by Edward Schuler -a Huntsman- who was visiting the village with his fiance Lara in preparation for their wedding.

With no surviving relatives, Lara convinced Edward to take him with them to Atlas; Edward agreed as he felt that, having saved Sangria, he was now responsible for his care.

Sangria was legally adopted by the couple shortly after their wedding.

In order to help Sangria cope with the trauma from the destruction of his home village, Edward taught him the basics of combat; enrolling him in a proper combat school 3 years after their first meeting.

Lara -a chef- made an effort to bond with Sangria by teaching him how to cook; which he took to well, developing a passion for it which has followed him throughout his life.

Enrolled in Atlas Academy at 17; was paired with Sabrina Magnus as part of team GRSS, led by George Petrov.

the incident occured during the Vytal Festival when he was 18, in their second year as students. GRSS wins.

With no hard feelings after the match Teams GRSS and ONYX celebrate in the dorms that night. ONYX smuggle in two cases of tequila. Sabrina gets drunk and, as a result of the incident, dubs Sangria "The Iron Cock"; a nickname which haunts him to this day.

Semblance
Sangria's Semblance is Ironclad which -in addition to its normal properties- imbues his aura with the physical characteristics of iron. As a result, he is able to hit harder and take more damage than other Huntsman of comparable skill; though he lacks the greater utility offered by more complex Semblances.

Due to the conductive properties acquired while using Ironclad, Sangria is exceptionally weak to electricity-based attacks.

Fighting style
Sangria is an expert in hand to hand combat and aura control; favoring unarmed combat over the use of weapons. Neglected to learn how to use Dust; leading him to rely heavily on his Semblance in combat. While he us able to dish out and withstand more damage than other unarmed fighters, he lacks any option for ranged combat and struggles against huntsmen-like opponents who utilize proper weapons.
