Appearance[]
Allan is a 18 year old Scorpion faunas who attends Beacon and works part time as a detective. Allan is 5ft 11in tall with a muscular body with some extra weight. Being a scorpion faunas, his trait is seen threw his large Scorpion tail, which measures 3ft in length, makes up a fourth of his weight (about 39lbs) and matches his hair color. He has rather short to medium hair which he keeps combed nicely as well as Dark Pastel Green eyes.
Allan is known for wearing his trademark outfit, which is altered so only he can wear it. As a base, he wears dark khaki dress pants which are tailored to allow his tail free motion, with a white long sleeve button up shirt that he keeps the sleeves rolled up. Over this he wears a Dark Khaki tie tied in a Eldredge knot, and a specially made slate gray Waistcoat which has celtic style designs along the bottom. The bottom of the waistcoat resembles the stinger of a scorpion upside down. Keeping his pants up is a leather belt which has a gold beltbuckle in the shape of his symbol. On the right side of his belt is a sheathe for his Gunblade. For footwear, Allan wears brown dress shoes and the only accessories he wears is a silver wedding band on his left hand and a silver watch on the same arm.
Personality[]
Allan is a rather odd character, but he's one that once you meet him you'll get him. He has a tendency to be less serious than you'd expect, especially since his job of choice is very prominent and his demeanor gives him a serious look. He does this as a way to enjoy life when off duty, from both the battlefield and the detective line. His demeanor isn't all bark though, he is definitely serious when it comes to work, whether it be a few grimm or a simple robbery. Allan's also the determined type, sticking with a task unless he's truly swayed to move on to something else.
Despite his odd focus, Allan is quite the friendly person. He has an odd way of showing it, his voice always sounding somewhat serious even when he's got a smile on his face. He's not quick to accept someone as a friend so easily, but that won't stop him from acting buddy buddy with people even if it's the enemy. He has a strong belief in the phrase "Keep your friends close, and enemies closer." He's not shy around women either, always willing to talk but hesitant to flirt due to always having his guard up.
When it comes to the battlefield, Allan is serious. He's a solo capable fighter who's not afraid to work with others. This is definitely due to his work with police and work in crime scenes, knowing that always having backup helps. He relies on Crowd Control in close quarters and midrange, with some long range with slug rounds. When fighting others, He'll use his fighting style to subdue and kill if necessary, while fighting against grimm he'll not hold back. He's also been known to be able to negotiate well, but his personality has always had a bit of issue in that. Allan's also known for using police tactics in every battle, placing safety as a priority.
Weapons and Ablities[]
Allan is extremely efficient in CQC, knowing several different techniques from self defense to Guerrilla warfare and sword fighting. When close combat isn't available, he'll rely on his gunblade's firepower to deal damage midrange. Due to his faunas attribute, Allan uses his tail in combat in several ways. His main approach is for quick overhead strikes while using it defensively as a way to trip his enemy. He however can't use any poisons since his body wouldn't be able to handle making it, unless he dips his stinger in it before hand. The tail is naturally armored by a carapace, and is able to endure bladed attacks but will crack under blunt force.
Crowd Control: Crowd Control is a gunblade that Allan uses as his primary weapon. The weapon is a cross between and Celtic shortsword and a pump action shotgun. Since Crowd Control is considered a gunblade, it is a no transformation weapon and acts as a mix of the two that allows for both the shotgun function and the sword form.
The basic design is centers around a celtic shortsword, with certain features and dimensions different. The blade is widened to accommodate for the barrel of the shotgun that runs from the bottom of the blade to the top. The pump of the shotgun is found around the base of the blade and looks like part of a sheathe. Under the cross guard is the trigger which is parallel to the hilt, with the final shotgun function being on the hilt. On the bottom of the hilt is a slot for a cylindrical cases which hold 5 rounds. When loading Crowd Control, Allan inserts the cylinder into the slot and when all the rounds are fired, the cylinder comes out like a clip. He can use several forms of shells, the three he uses most are gravity dust rounds which reduce spread, impact dust rounds which give more power even if the spread is wide, and slug rounds for longer range and getting through armor.
Truesight: Truesight is Allan's semblance which he uses in both combat situations and his desired line of work. When he activates his semblance, Allan's eyes become able to see the invisible wavelengths of light that humans normally can't. These wavelengths include Infrared light, xrays, and ultraviolet light. He can use this in both combat and in scenario's of crime scenes and tracking perps. And example would be ultraviolet, which allows him to see residues like left over fluids at crime scenes or other places such as saliva and other bodily fluids. Because he can see invisible light, he can also see someone's aura even when it is passively active (this means the person can use it, but it's in a passive mode). Truesight does put a strain on his energy, and will use it sparingly. If he uses it too long, he will drain too much energy and will strain his eyes.
Aura: Allan's aura is earth yellow in color, and he is able to use it as an outward force. He's also grown fond of using it to sense danger easier due to the line of work he's in.
Other Equipment: Allan regularly has other equipment on his person, for both his jobs. He regularly has a set of hand cuffs, as well as a small versatile knife to use in certain cases. He also has a personal vehicle which he uses to get around to crime scenes and other places quicker. He drives a mid-sized car which resembles that of a 2007 Ford Crown Victoria, with a silver paint job to give it a more casual look while still having hidden police lights in the grill. The seats are modified as well so Allan can sit comfortably with his Scorpion tail.
Backstory[]
Allan Bui Damhair was born in the fall in a small town outside Vacuo. His parents were middle class, having well paid jobs that gave them good living accommodations. Allan life was seemingly normal for a faunas in the region, though he was considered a bit cooler due to his faunas species. It was everyday that you see a scorpion faunas, but Allan was okay with that.
Allan's hometown wasn't anything too special, it had alot of the same jobs and opportunities that most Vacuo cities had. Though this meant crime rate was something to worry about, with the White Fang on the offensive and outlaws always an issue in the harsh Vacuo terrain. It was this that kept the different police forces busy, and what disturbed Allan's peaceful life several times. Being middle class meant that his family was the target of robbery every so often, and while his father would fight back his mother didn't always do so. It wasn't till Allan was around 10 or so that he began to grow tired of the constant danger and planned to enroll at a combat school so he could protect his mother when dad wasn't around.
Despite always having the threat of losing your possessions and the money for a nice meal this week, Allan was rather optimistic about life. He enjoyed hanging out with his friends and finding new things in his hometown. Normally it was usual things like a new broken machine arriving in the scrapyard or seeing what store got broke into this week. These sorta things were the limelight of the youth of the town, never really dull. It was the same for allan till a trip home from his first year of combat school, this time the scene far more gruesome. One of the shop owners was shot and murdered for not complying, the murderer running off with cash from what the police at the scene said. Murders had happened before with simple hobo's and civilians harmed by muggers, but murder of a shop owner meant a lack of supplies. Means someone has to cover for it, the lack of the supply causing issues with jobs.
That was what drove Allan to seek a new career: Police work. There weren't any places he could apply directly for Police training, so he decided to stay in combat school, finding it a better place then nothing to learn how to fight. He also went to the police station to see if he could volunteer whenever he was home, and after much thought and a few test he was added as a junior officer. It was Vacuo's lower level school that taught him how to fight, eventually allowing him to make crowd control and discover his true capabilities like his semblance and aura. During his summers he would always return home and work with the police force. At first it was paper work and managing case files. Eventually he began to work in the field after his commanding officer saw how his semblance could help detectives out at crime scenes, and from the summers on he acted as part of the investigation unit with other officers and detectives.
After four years in lower combat school and working in the police field off and on, Allan graduated with top marks. The teachers of the school said that he'd be wise to apply to a next level school, but he declined as he moved back home and signed up to work for the police force full time. Resuming his normal position, the faunas worked cases with his team until his unit chief told him he was to be transferred to Vytal and work for their police due to his skill. Allan wasn't to happy about it, but complied since it would benefit others if he could use his skills else where in need. After his transfer, he working in the police force for Vytal and established a name for himself until he was 18. It was at that moment that someone offered him a chance to return to school at the local Huntsman school known as Beacon. Allan was happy to accept only if he could continue to be part of the police force, and the teacher complied that he could talk to the Headmaster about it.
It was a few days later that Allan received a message about how the headmaster said it was okay, in which Allan applied that day to Beacon. It was a month or two later that he made his way to Beacon as a first year and was accepted.
Trivia[]
- Allan has double meaning. It works as an allusion first, giving tribute to Allan Pinkerton who was a Scottish American detective and spy, best known for creating the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Allan is also a celtic name, in Celtic meaning: harmony, stone or noble. Stone gives the presence of the color gray.
- Allan's actual color is a combination of his first and middle name; Allan meaning Stone which makes one think of earth, while Bui is Celtic for yellow. Hence his color being "Earth Yellow"
- Allan's last name, Damhair, is also celtic and means "Scorpio"
