Amet Revfold

"With my power and the aid of Fenice, we will find the answers, and bring them to their knees. Know me by name, Shepherd of Fire." "If you're a religious man, I suggest you pray - this boy wields an ancient secret, and the courage of a thousand souls."

- Amet, during battle scene

Amet Revfold (pronounced with a silent 'f') is the leader of Team ARAM. He goes by Amet, despite his real name actually being Ametista. Amet represents amethyst, or the color royal purple. Revfold's weapon of choice is his family heirloom, Potenza di Fenice, a great sword that transforms into a rocket launcher. Amet comes from the Kiyng clan, a predominant family of Dust shop owners. Following in their footsteps, he openly accepts faunus. The went missing shortly after the 'new' White Fang age began. Fearing he might 'vanish', Amet ran away and sought closure in the denizens of Vale. He is not a very social person.

Appearance
Amet Revfold is a tall boy with long, purple hair. He has a fair complexion, and has gold eyes. Amet has scars (though he doesn't like to show them) from burns scattered over his body - the result of a harsh learning curve from Fenice. Revfold's color scheme uses royal colors, such as purple and gold. Also, accents of red, black, and gray - which represents how kingdoms have bloodshed, dark pasts, and hardships.

Revfold wears a cloak that's black on the outside and gray on the inside. This cloak comes down to his upper shin and has his emblem stitched in the middle of the gray side. He wears a purple tunic with black straps/armlets and gold accents. Across his chest is a leather strap that can double as a bandoleer. Underneath his tunic is a long-sleeved shirt of a light shade of purple. Amet also wears black trousers and purple shin coverings, and has various pockets to store items of worth.

Background
Amet Revfold was born into a predominant Dust shop family. The Kiyng clan was know for their battle tactics. They practiced a spiritual meditation handed down over the generations, which eased the body and mind. Amet quickly grew old of this at a very young age, and started to teach himself how to fight.

When the White Fang shifted in power, the Kiyng clan went missing. Many of Amet's family members vanished for reasons still unclear to him. Fearing his life, Amet fled his home, Fenice in hand. In order to survive, he got a job at the local post office, though the pay was under-the-table. Longing to leave the meager life before him, Amet learned what he could from the messages he sorted. After years of sorting mail and letters, Revfold learned about Signal Academy and Beacon Academy, the statistics needed to be accepted, and who to copy. When the time came, Amet stole applications to Beacon, forging signatures and stats. He was accepted.

Ashamed of a human-ruled world despising faunus, he dreams of a time where faunus and human will be able to be united once again. A time when the world will truly know peace.

Revfold now spends his spare time at Beacon looking for answers to his clan's disappearance.

Personality
Amet Revfold is someone you can relate to. Many people and faunus like him were without a home. When not in battle, he is secluded and withdrawn, often looking lost in thought. When in battle, however, he is calm, cool, and collected. Amet often proclaims he doesn't want to fight, but will not hesitate to do so.

Revfold wears a peaceful facade, but underneath lies a hidden soft side, one that shows every now and then. With the loss of his clan still fresh in his mind, he longs for answers and justice for his family.

Abilities & Powers
Amet's Semblance is heightened reflexes. This allows him to use pinpoint precision in his strikes and counter faster, as well as dodge blows quicker if need be. Also, he uses his Aura to sense disturbances in the environment close to him, heightening his perception. Amet's Aura is a burnt orange color.

He wields a powerful sword that casts magic of sorts (Amet hasn't seen a weapon that does what Fenice can). Potenza di Fenice uses red Dust cartridges. These round cartridges load into the hilt of Fenice. This sword can create sparks and fireballs, which it uses when it morphs into a rocket launcher. Potenza di Fenice, when in launcher form, fires concentrated balls of fire that explode on impact, leaving behind a napalm-like aftermath. Amet has yet to master this function.

Fighting Style
Amet is an all-around fighter. Potenza di Fenice allows Revfold to attack at range with fireballs, as well as blind foes at close range with sparks. His self-taught style is, simply put, waiting for an opening, striking quickly and effectively - go in loud, get out quick.

He allows the enemy to rush, patiently waiting for the time to strike. His dodging involves deflecting and countering, using the momentum to keep his movements fluid and precise.

Amet, while still young and living with his clan, abandoned Kindoturi and taught himself to fight. However, when he became homeless, Revfold began to practice Kindoturi to further his routine and keep the memory of the Kiyng alive.

Weapon
Potenza di Fenice is a great sword handed down over the Kiyng generations. Its blade is an ancient alloy of a red-gold color, a hilt of tempered metal painted crimson, bonded leather straps on its handle, and a studded butt. Inside the hilt is a rounded area where the Dust cartridges are loaded. This socket, when a 'Dust ball' (as Amet likes to call them) is inserted, is protected by a gold covering. The Dust balls fuel Fenice's arcane powers.

Potenza di Fenice can also morph into a rocket launcher when the butt of the sword is pushed. The blade splits into four, making the barrel. The hilt's sides turn into the firing mechanism and support for Fenice's cartridge, the ammunition for the launcher form. Its handle acts as the trigger. Potenza di Fenice shoots balls of fire, with their size depending on how long Amet charges the shot. These fireballs leave behind a napalm-like substance, which can be used as tactical diversions. Potenza di Fenice must be reloaded after every Launcher shot.

The Kiyng were allies with faunus, choosing to treat them like people rather than lesser beings. As a gift, the faunus leader of the time gave Fenice to the Kiyng, thanking them for their continued kindness.

Amet recieved Fenice when he was born. It's tradition in the Kiyng to bestow the sword onto a newborn male, who would be destined to lead the clan when the time came. The sword, once handed down, could be modified to any extent. Amet decided not to modify it, thinking it would change who he is, as well.

The Kiyng Clan
The Kiyng clan (pronounced king) was a family of Dust shop owners. Outside of business, the Kiyng were known for their tactics in battle. They practiced a spiritual meditation known as Kindoturi. This meditation, like others, eased the body, spirit, and mind; it also revved up the psyche of the user, allowing them to be calm during the most intense of battles.

The Kiyng welcomed faunus with open arms, even when they were discriminated. The Kiyng often made shelter for less fortunate faunus. When the White Fang shifted in power, the clan vanished for unclear reasons. Amet looks for answers, hoping to find justice and restore the memory of the great family he once lived with.
