Ceruleo Rafiyan

"I'm not talented, I just can't be asked to be as awful as everyone else."

Navi is an OC of Mkatkannon, and is a shield spinning delivery hunter.

Appearance
Navi is a fair skinned athletic guy standing at 6'0" and weighing 180 lbs. He has close cropped blonde hair. His face is defined, but no features of his particularly stand out.

He wears a zippable navy blue letterman jacket with red leather sleeves and a black collar and zipper line. This also comes with a couple of open pockets on the front, which are blue inside and black on the edges. The jacket is decorated with a couple of dotted cyberesque designs on the pockets down to the base of the jacket. Additionally, the jacket's shoulder sections are decorated by dual curved red lines going off the collar on each side (front and back) to the edge of the sleeve's start. The jacket is also adorned with a small pepperoni pizza badge with "E-Z-C" in navy blue on it, making him a walking advertisement for his workplace. He wears the jacket unzipped, revealing the clothes beneath it.

Under the jacket, he wears a red, navy blue buttoned polo shirt that starts bright red at the top and gets darker red further down, creating an ombre effect. It has thick black lines going vertically across on both sides, stopping short to leave a blank middle space in between the two.

He wears mildly baggy navy blue tracksuit pants with an elastic waistband. These are decorated with red cyberesque designs from the knees down to the bottom.

His shoes are sports sneakers with baby blue soles and fronts. The shoes are decorated with a navy blue and red domino pattern, each individual domino having a different value.

Navi also dons an adjustable dark turquoise cap with "E-Z-C" on the front. The front of the cap is bent so it fits narrower onto his scalp. The interior of the cap is red, and so is the adjustable strap in the back.

When not using it in combat or as a means of transport, Svalinn, his shield, can be worn on his back with an extendable strap.

Personality
Years of working at a pizza place have made Navi somewhat lazy, focusing his priorities on profit and mostly acting only if he deems it fit for his intervention. His lazy and greedy habits tend to lead him into trouble with others socially and in battle, if he finds himself slacking off.

He's ambitious to some extent, wanting to be a famous hunter who can sustain him and his uncle for the rest of their lives. He however shows a surprising amount of respect for the goals of others, and if he comes across someone determined, it isn't hard to find Navi swept along with their ideals.

Navi isn't particularly bright, having very few individual ideas, and working best under instruction.

Family
Navi doesn't care for the majority his family very much, as they shamed him and disowned him.

Uncle Dominic
Navi has a very close bond with his uncle, who shares his greed and ambitions. They've known each other for quite some time, and care about each other very much.

Fighting Style
Being an experienced sign spinner and having used this talent to chop at enemies with relentless spins of his bladed shield makes him very dangerous at a mid-range, where he can effectively block attacks and brutally slice at his opponent. When faced with a longer ranged opponent, Navi is able to effectively protect himself from most shots. At a closer range, he still manages to fight, but can be at risk against quick attackers who he cannot block or deal damage to before they hit him. He likes to mix up his attacks from a range of low, medium and aerial attacks, making his fighting style difficult to predict.

His hand to hand combat is heavily lacking, as he is entirely used to fighting with his shield, and little else. If disarmed, and emphasis on if, he stands little chance against most enemies. This can be remedied with he semblance to some extent, but doesn't entirely give him a fighting chance, still leading to his defeats against stronger opponents in hand to hand combat.

His aura isn't particularly noteworthy, and is one of his weaker aspects. He's received basic training with aura and can use it for simple purposes and to activate and fuel his semblance, but its quantity isn't praiseworthy.

His semblance is called Overtime. Overtime boosts Navi's reaction speed and physical speed, letting him notice and make appropriate movements based on his opponent's movements. This can help him go into a quick relentless flurry of attacks or make it easier for him to dodge his opponent's attacks and block them with his shield. It takes quite a toll on his muscles and gives him headaches, slowly wearing him down the longer he uses it. He has however learned to use it in small bursts, which lets him use his semblance multiple times per fight, but for very brief periods of time.

Primary Weapon
Navi's weapon is a massive bladed shield named Svalinn. The shield can be proficiently spun by Navi, acting as a remarkable slashing weapon. It also has its uses as a bludgeoning weapon, being capable of pushing and battering opponents, and with the addition of dust, it can propel opponents further with explosive effects. It can also be used as a movement tool, letting him surf on surfaces with the weapon if in a fitting environment. Lastly, it can also be used for textbook defense, and functions well at longer ranges. However, it is much harder to use at a close range, as its large size makes it difficult to maneuver the shield and block a large amount of close range attacks.

Equipment
Navi frequently carries dust crystals he can insert into Svalinn to boost his weapon's effectiveness and to achieve elemental effects.

Background Summary
Navi came from a decently wealthy family, who would constantly pride themselves on their genius progeny. Navi was born into this family with his 3 older brothers, all exceptionally smart. Navi simply didn't fit with them, having a more simple approach to life as opposed to his creative siblings. He was disregarded frequently by his parents due to this, but he was perfectly fine with it. He was happy as he was. Eventually, his uncle, a former hunter had come to visit, and let Navi's parents know that he was looking for an apprentice to help continue his legacy. Navi, then 8 years old, was excited, and came to live with his uncle, expecting to train to become a hunter.

To his surprise, his uncle meant his deadbeat pizza business he started when he retired from being a hunter. Navi seemed to fail at every job his uncle gave him, until a sign was purchased for the establishment. Upon his uncle's suggestion Navi went outside and tried getting some attention with it, spinning the sign as he performed extravagant motions, receiving the attention of anyone happening to pass by. He boosted the sales of the business immensely, and soon became the face of E-Z-Cheesy Pizzeria. After a year of this, as a thanks to Navi, his uncle asked him what he wanted as a present in return for his hard work. Navi asked him to train him to become a budding hunter, and his uncle, amused, entertained the idea.

They began doing small 2 hour training sessions with the retired hunter's swords and axes, but none of those weapons felt right for Navi. Navi continued to do his sign swinging, until one day he got an idea. Picking up his sign and running over to his uncle, he suggested the idea of using his sign as a weapon. After a solid 5 minutes of laughter from his uncle, he gave it a shot, replacing his sign with a large rectangular shield. Navi was incredibly proficient at this, to the surprise of his uncle. He continued to train infrequently with his uncle early in the morning for a few years, continuing to balance it with his promoting the pizza shop and occasional delivery jobs.

The time came when Navi was eligible to apply for Signal academy, and his uncle fully supported his decision, as sad as he was to see Navi go. Navi was accepted, and he refined his skills, and even crafted his own weapon, a bizarre hybrid shield, which was lovingly imprinted with the contents of his sign he used to swing at the pizzeria. He visited his uncle frequently and showed him his weapon within a day of its creation. His uncle made him promise, that one day, when he becomes a great hunter, he'll make both of them rich beyond belief, and bring fame to E-Z-C.

"Uncle, I promise you, when I'm a famous hunter, everyone will know the name of E-Z-Cheesy Pizzeria!"

Navi graduated from Signal, and applied for Beacon, where he was also accepted, saying his goodbyes to his uncle, who would now be far away. He still occasionally comes to visit his uncle, and helps him with delivering the pizzas and swings his shield there.
