Wolfe Black

"So what. I am a Faunus, but that doesn't make me me. I'm me because of my skills, my dedication and my desire to prove that what i am doesn't label me as me"

- Wolfe

Appearance
Wolfe is a young man, tall and well built, with always messy brown hair and rings around his eyes due to insomnia. As a Faunus he has animalistic features such as his wolf ears. He has distinctive scars on his body due to many operations on him at a young age. He wears a full length brown coat over a leather vest and combat leather leggings. His feet are covered by basic boots. On his right arm there is an armband of silver and gold, a memento from his sister. His belt he wears is adorned with his family crest (to be designed). He wears glasses that are tinted to cover his eyes.

Personality
A calm and quiet disposition provides Wolfe with a sense of mystery. He keeps to himself because he never wants to trouble anyone with his own personal demons. He is very shy and nervous around others, not so much that it hinders him; he does tense up in those sorts of situations when he has to meet new people. However he does get on well with other Faunus and people who understand him as well as showing interest in his ideals and his interest’s. He is also very protective of his friends.

Wolfe is a bookworm and is constantly reading. He has designed many blueprints on Biomedical Combat Augment Suits, and is constantly trying to get funding from wealthy people to begin creating these suits as a viable solution for hunters and huntresses who injure themselves in combat enabling speedy recovery and amplification of combat.

Because of his appearance and his distance, people often harass him, and mock him because of his ideals.

He has issues with certain things. He dislikes public speaking, being asked questions about his scars, being mocked because of his appearance, and someone disrupting his reading.

His speech pattern in normally calm and serene, however when he does get into states of anger, he's as firm as a military general and is easily given respect from it.

In fights though, he is a keen stratergist, able to formulate plans on the go. He has been known to taunt his foes as a way of attracting there attention hoping to prtect his team.

Backstory
Born into a Faunus family he was constantly bullied by humans and always remained by himself due to the hate he received. He was constantly in his older sister’s shadow and wanted to make a name for himself. He began to read books and theories on biomedical science and Augmentation and began working on a prototype suit that he could use to amplify his own natural combat prowess. He began studying as a mechanic and researched Dust in order to make his dream a reality, A Biomedical Combat Augmentation Suit. He has only ever designed blue prints and his Gauntlets.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Upon joining Signal he began working on the Gauntlets. He started working on armour that was lightweight and durable and was able to function. He met Vix after she stole his plans one day, and they became good friends from it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;">After finalising the blue prints he started searchng for funding to get the suit idea working, constantly shut down due to it being "unfeasable".

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">He applied to Beacon after his parents died when a protest ended up turning into a riot. His sister has gone missing and has not contacted Wolfe since.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Reports have indicated a figure fitting his sisters description in league with the White Fang

Team
Part of team W.A.V.E., he was partnered with Arthur during the initiation and later joined up with Vix and Elisa

Vix Valentine
His best friend at Beacon and one of his team members. She is also a Faunus. They get on well like brother and sister. There is some interest between the two of them, however Vix is more open with the feelings which does cause Wolfe to become really nervous.

Arthur Kincaid
Despite the respect he is given, Wolfe has a distant thought that Arthur is just trying to hard to prove himself. He wants to fight him in order to test him.

Elisa Dianne Windstorm
He enjoys her company as a human being, but due to her wealth he secretly wants her to finance his research. But he just soldiers on with that issue

Abilities
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wolfe is a gifted mechanic  <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;line-height:15.75pt;">and tracker.

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:6pt0in2.4pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Combat <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">In combat, Wolfe employs hand to hand combat with his suit and is also semi useful at mid-range and long range combat.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">For close range he uses  <span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;line-height:15.75pt;">a pair of gauntlets known as Wolf Fang. The gauntlets hold an ensemble of Dust in them allowing him to use his dust augmented attacks. He also made (with help from Vix) his normal clothes into a set of armor.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:15.75pt;">For mid range/long range he uses a pair of pistols housed in his gauntlets.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">He primarily fights in a defensive stance opting to adapt to his opponent rather than attack head on.

<h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin:6pt0in2.4pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Techniques

Utilising Dust, Wolfe is able to create elemental "stances" (similar to Myrtemaster's mechanism)

1. Lightning Stance: Equiping a lightning based Dust, Wolfe creates a static charge on his gantlets able to fire lightning bolts at range and augment his blows with lightning.

2. Fire Stance:Equiping a fire based Dust, Wolfe ignites his gauntlets with fire making his punches stronger and can fire fireballs.

3. Frost Stance: Equiping a frost based Dust, Wolfe is able to release frost bolts at his oponents and at close range, his blows are incased in ice.

Semblance: Shield
Wolfes semblance manifested in the form of shielding due to his desire to protect his friends. He has learned to repulse the blows when he is using his semblance. He cannot however shield for a long period of time, only in short bursts.
