Roy Zaffire (Roy stands for Royal blue and Zaffire means Sapphire)  is one of the characters in Team ARAM. His name is "Roy" which was meant to represent Royal Blue. His weapon of choice is a Katana. In his write up story (His battle trailer) He is in Nicholas Kirkwoods Office and fights two AK-130s Androids and a horde of Grimm.

Appearance
Roy is a young male of pale white complexion. He has short spiked up hair that is black and dark blue, and his left eyes iris is gold while his right is sapphire. He has the fangs of a wolf and wears a black mask that come up to the bridge of his nose to keep them concealed.

He wears black combat boots which are comlpemented by his silver like grey pants that tuck into the boot. He wears a sapphire sleeveless shirt under his blue and gold haori (tailed), has black armor plating on his shoulders and a black shelled collar. They complement his black strapped fingerless bracers. On the back of his bracers (hand section) you see his logo in Sapphire.

Personality
Roy is a reserved and serious person in battle at time where it's needed but is more likely to have fun with his fights. Roy loves a fight where him and his blade face a challenging opponent. He also has respect for other peoples lives and holds it closer to himself and others due to his captivity. Though he strongly despises those who judge and descriminate others. He is an open person and likes to pitch into conversations when he feels it is needed.

Roy likes to be in the company of others but is used to being alone and is fine with either or. Roy is extreamly fond of his blade which is shown as it never leaves his side, even when he sleeps. Due to his Faunus heritage, he is a realistic person who has been used in the war of Man and Faunus by Nicholas Kirkwood, which also has made him want to achive one goal to achive a world of righteous world.

Even though Roy is serious and reserved he doesn't lack any social skills he is still friendly. But can lose his temper if provoked, though that is rare to do so, causing him to get aggresive and very untame due to his wolf side he will act the same way if some one trys to take his food when he is eating.

Fighting Style
Roys fighting style is much like any samurai known though he is more physical making him lethal in up close and personal situations.

He fights his opponent quick and lethal but is very observant to look for fighting patterns or mistakes in fighting styles. He is devastating and lethal in any situation his blade can be used and if the opponent fights from a distance he will do his best to close the gap. He also will work in hand to hand combat if his blade is lost or as if to knockout or put distance between his opponent and himself. In hand to hand he has a touch of knowledge in most hand to hand combat styles but mains in Aikido and his own free like style of fighting.

He mainly fights with his blade Kahio he was trained and very skilled in Kenjutsu (The art of killing with the blade), Kendo (The way of the sword), and Iaido (The art of drwaing the balde). He is tamed and mainly fights with his blade great exacution and is lead of his pack on par with his father and the eldar. He can also use the sheath to secrete cyan dust onto his blade making his next slash (Depending on how much dust he puts on the blade) will either at least freeze over the area of his next slash or with a lot of dust can pruduce a close range shock which would freeze anything within four feet of him or at knock away projectiles if timed correctly.

Weapon
Toketsu Kaiho is the blade Roy had made when with his previous master for before acceptance into the Zaffire pack the child must forge a weapon of there own choice. Roy much like most had grown a liking to the katana and fallowed this by then working how to form the sheath correctly in order for it properly accept, hold, and secrete dust properly. He finally finished Toketsu Kaiho at the age of ten spending four years making it with the eldar of the pack.

He learned how to use Kaiho (The Blade) more than learning how to use Toketsu (The sheath). He went weeks to months on edge learning how to master their deadly combos and focusing on aura practices with the rest of the packs whelps. Kaiho was hard for him to master for it's overall length was just a little over three and a half feet.

Toketsu is the sheath of the blade/dust chamber where it secretes dust onto the blade when the trigger is used. Toketsu is like many other sheaths of katanas is a solid black caes with a blue accents and at the bottom there is a slot that will open into a holding where the dust is held until the trigger is used.

Kaiho is the blade made of the best metal possible found by his pack when finding shelter in a cave not far from the Agricultural District as shown which was circled on the map that Roman had. It can absorb dust and use it in its slashes which after a cut could basically causterize the wound by flash freezing it or with enough dust and upon being thrusted into the earth can realse a tiny shockwave of ice in the air slowing projectiles and/or people.

Abilities & Powers
Roys Semblance is "Tōketsu sa reta shōgekiha" [Frozen Shockwave] in which he can summon ice on him or blade and when activated releases a tiny burst of frost.

Roy has above average agility, speed, and endurance, which is shown when he fights the horde of Grimm with mediun to little fatigue. This may have something to do with his years of training with Toketsu Kaiho keeping his best skills tempered for his fighting style. Also being a Faunus has given him the abiliy to see in the dark..

Roy also has shown the highest level of skill with his blade Kaiho he more or less displays what we know as Bushido. The mastery of the blade and a sense of honor to a master (Roys masters condition is currently unknown for he was within the pack which Nick has captured) He can easily slash through opponents at blinding speeds and deflect incoming bullet fire with enough focus using just his blade. There are two forms of Toketsu Kaiho the katana and sheath then there is the dual pistol forms.The blade is able to cut through metal and stone due to its amazing tempering, given it can not cut through other weapons. Roys fighting style is critical and percise even though he is slightly self taught after seperation from his master.
