Aurus Hintray

"You mistake me for a doormat? Step and cross me, and we'll see who's lying on the ground." "What have I done to deserve your judgement? If you have a problem, take it to the sparring room. I'd hate to waste my Dust."

- Aurus, while confronting a bully

Aurus Hintray is your run-of-the-mill student at Beacon Academy. He comes from a long line of brawlers (on his father's side) and weapon-smiths (on his mother's side), and spares no expense in following their footsteps. He is a close-to-mid range fighter, using dust magazines that load into his bracelets, Tebuki Kyanon (translation: Wrist Cannon). He mixes different dust for different reactions. Aurus constantly critiques his weapon and himself, always looking for a way to improve. A gift from home was his very own ammo bench, where he spends a good deal of time outside of studies, team mates, and work.

Appearance
Aurus Hintray is a tall, muscular 18-year-old, who's imposing posture often offsets his respectful demeanor. He represents the color ice blue, has a fair complexion, and brown eyes, filled with determination. Aurus has a scar on his right wrist from an accident with Tebuki back at Signal.

Hintray wears his father's headpiece, a parting gift from him when he left for Beacon: a light blue and khaki enlongated headband of sorts. Aurus also wears a deep blue coat that comes down to mid-thigh with khaki accents. He wears a decorative belt, which was also his father's: a black belt with cloth drapings, the same color scheme as the headpiece. Aurus wears black running shorts that come down to mid-thigh, and blue boots with his emblem stitched into them. Hintray wears various straps and buckles to hold his various types of ammunition.

Background
Aurus Hintray was born into your average family in Vale. He has supportive parents, amazing friends, and most of all, does what he loves - fighting. The aforementioned is no suprise when it's realized Aurus comes from a long line of brawlers and weapon-smiths. From a young age, Aurus's father brought him to fight clubs to see what his heritage was. Likewise, his mother brought him to forges to see what his heritage was. Both his mother and father pushed for Aurus to become the next great brawler or weapon smith. To find a compromise, he sat down with his parents before leaving for Sinal, and said he would continue the Hintray name as a combination brawler-weapon smith family.

While at Signal,  Aurus made a promise to stick to his word. Day and night, he thought of ways to marry the two sides together. Then, one day, he drew an idea - Tebuki Kyanon. It brought together both worlds: the close-range combat of brawling with the precision a weapon smith would use to create firearms. There were many prototype models of Tebuki, all of which Aurus noted, critiqued, and tested once more.

One day at Signal, Aurus recieved word from home that his uncle was killed by Grimm. Riddled with clashing feelings, Hintray vowed to fight the Grimm off for revenge and for humanity's sake. Thus, he applied for Beacon, and was accepted.

Personality
Aurus's size often cancels out his respectful demeanor. He's not one quick to judge, but would much rather come up with facts and answers, then go from there. Even if you're a complete stranger, Aurus would treat you as family. This can become overbearing at times, and Hintray has a hard time controlling it. Aurus operates off of respect.

Hintray is brutal when you cross him. Until respect is won back, Hintray will not acknowledge the person's existence. Very few have taken that course, and have regretted it. Aurus is not afraid to confront his fears or someone that talks down to him.

Abilites & Powers
Aurus's Semblance is heightened endurance. This means he doesn't exhaust at times others would, allowing him to run farther distances and last longer in battle. Hintray uses his Aura to heighten his perception, sensing disturbances in the environment around him. Aurus's aura color is cyan.

Aurus wields him very own weapon - dual bands that are part wristband, part glove called Tebuki Kyanon. They use dust magazines, loaded by Aurus. He likes to load different dust magazines into each wrist for different results in battle.

Weapon
Aurus made Tebuki Kyanon at Signal Academy, a dual-wristband/glove that loaded from under the wrist. Tebuki is the culmination of both lines of Hintray's heritage - a combination of close range fighting with the added plus of mid-range for when things get a little too hot. Tebuki uses dust magazines, crafted by Aurus.

Tebuki Kyanon (translation: Wrist Cannon), lies on the wrists and has rings where the fingers are inserted. From these rings are lines that connct to the wristband part of the weapon. In the palm is a flexible pad where dust is concentrated and used, fed directly from the magazine. Tebuki uses any color dust, but Aurus prefers red, blue, cyan, and purple dust.

Fighting Style
Being a brawler, Hintray is a mid-to-close range fighter. Tebuki's powers vary depending on what color dust is loaded. This means Aurus can attack at a long range, but choses not to, preferring to be in close to his enemies where they have a hard time hitting him. He's not very accurate at range.

Aurus's fighting style is powerful blows that leave enemies crippled. His two main tactics are either strike quickly and hard, or tire the enemy out. These tactics vary depending on the situation.
