Remus Romulus

Remus Romulus is the third member of Team SCRL(t), led by Samael Thanatos. His pet "Tiny" makes up the unofficial "t".

Appearance
Remus Romulus, first and foremost, is a wolf faunus. He is classified as a Beta among his village, and is physically smaller than those considered Alphas. Remus is still a muscular boy, however, and quite lean.



Being a wolf faunus, Remus has a couple of very distinct facial features. His jaw is slightly elongated, and has very pronounced canine teeth. His eyes have larger irises than a human's eye, and are a grey shade. He also has a pair of erect silver-grey ears resting approximately where a human's ear are the highest.



Remus walks around with a distinct slouch, but still stands at an even 6 feet regardless. He is very pale as well, which compliments his short blonde crew-cut.



He wears a pair of very baggy tundra camo army pants, and a long chain in place of a belt. Remus also dons a white button-down shirt that can be seen underneat a tight, unzipped light grey hoodie. He will only ever be seen barefoot, and refuses to wear shoes, or even socks, as the claws that replace the nails on his hands and feet would rip the footwear to shreds, and rarely removed the claw aspect of his weapon, Alpha Feud.



Remus will also almost always be seen with a large Siberian Husky, named Tiny, who has a mechanical prosthetic instead of a front right leg.

Personality
Before attending Beacon, Remus was a troublemaker at Signal. He went out of is way to pull pranks and stunts, and purposely performed poorly in school. He was your generic badboy figure, taking out his frustrations with the world on his classmates. He was only accepted at Beacon due to his obvious skill and consideration of his unique circumstances.



Before even attending Signal, he was a proud member of his village. He was a very in-line, by-the-books child, and did as he was told for the greater good. He also believed that he was a ladies' man, but do to his status as a Beta, he had no shot. He is also very fond of his pet husky, Tiny, and exhibits a more playful, childlike attitude when with her.



He came to Beacon with the same attitude that he had in Signal. However, after being placed on a team with Samael Thanatos and Catherine Thompson, and learning their history, he began to loosen up. With Samael losing all the family he had, and not knowing their love before hand, and with Catherine not even knowing her real father, he realized that he was being obnoxiously over-the-top with his attitude. He began making attempts to be a better person and apply himself in school. Now that he's no longer in his village, and not acting like he hates everybody at Signal, he is again attempting to be a ladies' man, but is very bad at it.



Background
Remus Romulus grew up in a small village in the far north of Vytal. This village was inhabited by wolf faunus, and separated into 3 castes: Alphas, Betas, and Gammas. The Alphas were the leaders of the village, stronger and larger than the others. Betas, including Remus, were smaller and weaker than Alphas, but far more agile. Gammas were the dregs of society in the village, paling in comparison to both Alphas and Betas.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">When a child in this village turned 11, they were given a hunting companion in the form of a dog, and taught to hunt. Every buck, bird, bear, boar, etc. that they brought home was added to a communal food store that was shared throughout the village. One's status within their caste was determined primarily by their contributions to this supply. Their status could also be raised by showing the skills required to take down various Grimm (not that this village was a traditional hunting village, and there were no advanced, "magitech" weapons).

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">  "In order to prove myself to be on par with the Alphas, I set out one evening to    take down a pair of Ursas. Two     Ursas under my belt in a single trip would drastically improve my own standing, and put me at least at the level     of the lowest Alphas. At the same time, Fenrus, an Alpha who viewed me as a threat, left the village, aiming to     take down a deathstalker that was known to live up in the mountains. I spent two days finding, tracking down,       and preparing to fight the Ursa pair, while Fenrus went right to the mountains to confront the deathstalker.

<p class="MsoNormal">  Eventually, seeing my first real chance, I jumped the two Ursas, impaling one on             my hunting spear. The raging Grimm connected with Tiny while it was flailing about, and took a solid chunk out of her front. I threw     my last spear at the remaining Ursa, and retreated into the forest, where it pursued me, leaving Tiny    alone. I       kept going, and eventually led the Ursa into a large pitfall I had prepared early that morning in the area. After         running back to retrieve my spears, and to make sure Tiny was okay, I headed back to the village.

<p class="MsoNormal">  Fenrus had been fighting the deathstalker up in the mountains. I don't know the    story, but he had to retreat         and ran back to our village. By the time I got back, there was not only one, but two deathstalkers, who had           both followed Fenrus back to the village and were rampaging through it. I watched the village being demolished       by the destructive power of the two great beasts, and with most of our    most capable hunters already slain, I       ran. The village was done for, and I had no home or family any longer. I came south, closer towards civilization,     relying on my hunting skills and keep myself and Tiny alive before I managed to get into Signal.

<p class="MsoNormal">  And that's my story. That's why I'm here, and why I do what I do. I don't want anybody to suffer like my village       did. I want to be a protector. When I'm done here, I'm gonna head back north and live in those forests, keeping       the Grimm under control. We weren't the only village up there, and many of them were more vulnerable than we     were."

<p class="MsoNormal">  "Wow. Man, I thought I had it bad. I'm sorry man." Catherine was shocked, amazed at the boy's tenacity and       determination.

<p class="MsoNormal">  "Good for you kid." Samael was impressed with the goodwill behind Remus's goal.

<p class="MsoNormal">  "Heh. . More than I've heard you say all week." Remus and Catherine laughed, at Samael's expense, as he           scowled and went back to his work.

Weapon
<p class="MsoNormal">Remus's 1st weapon, Alpha Feud, is a large metal claw resembling a wolf's claws., which he wears on his left hand. It covers the back of his arm going about halfway up to his elbow, with dark leather straps underneath. The actual claws fit on his fingers almost like gloves, with joints on the claws matching up with the joints on his fingers, with the claws themselves extending farther outward than his fingers reach. (Not that his palm is left bare, as it is only the actual claws that slip onto each finger, and are attached to the main brace on his arm and wrist.)The brace of the claw itself is a dark grey, with ridges running down the top, while the claws are a deep crimson all the way through.

<p class="MsoNormal">Remus's 2nd weapon, Alpha Victoire, is a large bastard sword (approximately 32 inches) that protrudes from a dark grey hilt in the shape of a wolf's mouth. The blade of the sword is the same shade of crimson as the claws on Alpha Feud, while the hilt is a slightly lighter grey than Alpha Feud's brace. The handle of the sword is a solid black color, with juts from the wolf's mouth down 6 inches into a grey knob consisting surrounded by 4 triangular studs. Extending from the handle of Alpha Victoire all the way to the very tip is a cylinder (the runs through the inside of the sword). The knob at the end of the grip turns, changing this cylinder between an old, traditional, for-show .22 caliber hunting rifle to a dust-propelled .338 caliber hunting rifle.

Abilities
<p class="MsoNormal">-Remus is an incredibly fast person. He was able to match, if not outrun, most of the other members of his village.

<p class="MsoNormal">-Remus is an accomplished hunter, and Hunter, and capable of being patient and fighting  with stealth and quiet when he needs to.

<p class="MsoNormal"> -  Remus's weapon Alpha Feud prevents him from actually gripping Alpha Victoire with two hands, so he must         instead just lay Alpha Victoire on top of the brace of Alpha  Feud. This leads to extensive amounts of recoil           that can end up eventually hurting his arm. Although his accuracy is not immediately effected, after the first           couple of shots his arm begins to twitch, and he gradually loses accuracy during extended fights.

<p class="MsoNormal">-Remus is also able to use Alpha Feud  as a makeshift shield, although its relative small size makes it ineffective against most larger enemies.

<p class="MsoNormal">-He also has a heightened sense of smell and hearing.
