Throwing this in so I can make small changes to it later. I ended up adding some even darker stuff to Lionel's backstory and explained how his uncle built up his confidence again.<br/><hr/><div class="floatright">  (http://i.imgur.com/Lnbp6nX.jpg)<br/><div align="center"><sup>*Clothing would be gold, instead of green</sup></div></div><strong>Name:</strong>Lionel Bronto Goldmann<br/><strong>Color:</strong>GOLD!<br/><strong>Symbol:</strong>A golden lion with bull horns.<br/><strong>Age:</strong>Somehow only 18<br/><strong>Height:</strong>7'5<br/><strong>Dust:</strong>None<br/><hr/><strong>Base Attributes:</strong><br/>6-Strength<br/>4-Endurance<br/>3-Willpower<br/>2-Discipline<br/>1-Perception<br/>0-Agility<br/><br/><strong>Heritage:</strong><br/>Atlas (STR +1)<br/><br/><strong>Derived Statistics:</strong><br/>Health: 9/9<br/>Aura: 9/9<br/>Capacity: 3/3<br/><hr/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Semblance &amp; Dust Combos</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Semblance: Immovable Object</strong>- Lionel has the ability to make himself a fixed point, incapable of being moved or shifted by any force. Things that should be impossible to lift are easier to move, and if something like a massive boulder would crush him, he could use this semblance <br/><strong>High-Level Special: The Western Facing Warrior</strong>- Lionel uses his semblance to bring himself to a halt... Relative to the entire planet. Since Earth spins at about 1000 miles per hour, this causes Lionel to stay perfectly still as everything due west of him begins approaching very, very quickly. He's as likely to hurt himself with this attack as he is to hurt others.<br/><br/><strong>Semblance + Violet Crystal =</strong><br/><span class="bbc_u">King's Presence</span> (3 cap): Lionel infuses an entire violet crystal with his semblance, allowing him to extend the range of Immovable Object to resist any and all forces around him, making it seem like the world around him is moving in slow motion.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Charging Bull</span> (2 cap): Lionel uses his hammer to propel himself quickly forward, then uses the properties of his semblance to make sure that he doesn't stop for anything.<br/><br/><strong>Semblance + Any Elemental Crystal =</strong><br/><span class="bbc_u">The Quieting</span> (3 cap): Similar to an effect the Goldmann family's Semblance can produce, Lionel can infuse his semblance with an elemental crystal to nullify that element's kinetic energy in the area around him. Depending on what crystal he uses, flowing rivers can become pools of glassy water, fires can suddenly smolder, and gales of wind can become stagnant air around him.<br/><br/></div></div><hr/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Weapon</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Weapon: Unstoppable Force</strong><br/><strong>Type:</strong> Aggressive<br/><strong>Description:</strong>Unstoppable Force is a massive, two-handed Mace that Lionel himself spray-painted gold. The weapon is as simple as it is crude- bearing no ranged attacks or even a fold-out design. It is, simply put, a metal stick with a heavy bit on the end.<br/><br/>Be that as it may, Lionel has ensured that said heavy end is extremely dangerous. The mace's core encases a sizable Violet Crystal, which serves to quintuple the weapon's overall weight. Aura or not, just blocking the hefty instrument can leave the arms shaking with stress. Lionel uses that physics-defying mass to great effect. It is only by his indomitable semblance, incredible size, and physically imposing body that Lionel is able to wield the weapon at all. It would be a challenge for anyone else to even lift.<br/><br/>Lionel himself also actual difficulty using the weapon as well. He cannot quickly swing it like a traditional weapon, and lugging it about on his back is a nightmare for his posture. He's managed to mitigate this through the use of battery packs he can load into the pommel of his hammer. The batteries stimulate the violet crystal inside the weapon's core, temporarily reducing the immense weight of the crystal. Even so, the battery's power doesn't last for long; Lionel is known to cycle them out regularly during fights.<br/><br/>When not in use, Lionel keeps Unstoppable Force in a black carrying case. Wheeling it around keeps the weight of it off his back.<br/><br/>Truth be told, the crudeness of the weapon is borne of necessity. Lionel might be getting his tuition to beacon funded by his father, but his day-to-day expenses are on a shoestring budget.  Lionel cannot afford the price of proper Dust. Lionel could barely afford energy packs for his hammer as well, but those, at least, he can recharge and reuse.<br/><br/>Since the weapon is so unwieldy, Lionel has learned to mix martial arts into his fighting style. Once again aided by his physique, Lionel's punches are almost as devastating as his hammer. His unarmed fighting style is uncharacteristically brutal, quick, and dirty. It places a lot of emphasis in using not just fists to fight, but elbows, knees and foreheads too. He learned this violent style from his equally violent uncle, who never had any qualms about ending a fight by any means necessary.<br/><br/><strong>Ranged Variant: Uncle Rob's Shotgun</strong> <br/><strong>Type:</strong> Aggressive<br/><strong>Description:</strong> It's... It's just a normal shotgun. Lionel's uncle gave it to him- it shoots things! With normal bullets.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Modifications: Martial Arts, Immense Weight</strong><br/><span class="bbc_u">Martial Arts:</span>: <br/>As seen in Handbook.<br/><span class="bbc_u">Immense Weight</span>:<br/>EFFECT:  The additional defense threshold for targeted strikes is decreased by 5. All attacks with this weapon requires either 1 capacity and 1 action, or 2 actions.<br/>DESCRIPTION: This weapon is heavy, and it shows. Do yourself a favor- do not get hit by it.</div></div><hr/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Attire</div><div class="spoiler_body">Outside of school, Lionel's casual wear is comprised of faded yellow pants, yellow track shoes, a black tank-top and black fingerless gloves. The gloves in particular are made of thick leather, and have extended cuffs that cover his wrists. However, when working out (which is often) he tends to wear a plain yellow t-shirt, neon green short shorts and yellow sweatbands on his wrists. In class, Lionel wears the normal school uniform, though his shirt and overcoat are a size or two too small for him. He still wears his gloves to class.<br/></div></div><hr/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">The Goldmann Family</div><div class="spoiler_body">The Goldmann dynasty is as gilded as it is old, dating back to the very founding of Atlas as a country. Famed for their commanding presence on the battlefield, and extremely potent semblance, the Goldmanns have long had an influential role in the continuation of Atlas military and social culture. The Goldmann family semblance is both hereditary and entirely unique. Dubbed "The Lion's Roar," users of this power are able to evoke powerful forces using only their voice as a weapon.<br/><br/>Members of the Goldmann family, especially those with the Lion's Roar, are typically loud and boisterous people. They take such pride in their voices that they often fail to shut up when they need to.  The only thing that gives a Goldmann pause is tradition- the ancient tenants their family has relied upon for generations. Large family meetings are eerily quiet, and sometimes only the eldest members of the family are allowed to speak during such events.<br/></div></div><hr/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Background</div><div class="spoiler_body">Lionel's life isn't all the glamor, pride and glory that he makes it out to be. Deep down, he actually feels more like a mistake than anything else. <br/><br/>The Crest of the Goldmann family isn't really a lion with bull-horns. In fact, it's actually a Lion standing in front of a bull. The horns are a reference to the Bronto family, a second family that has been subservient to the Goldmann's for over a hundred years. Unlike the Goldmanns, the Bronto family had never shown much aptitude for hunting. Occasionally, one would appear from their family with a semblance that made them stronger than normal, but that only came about once every few generations.<br/><br/>Lionel is a child of both these families, the bastard offspring of an already-married Goldmann and a Bronto maid. The latter sadly died in childbirth. His father, while certainly unfaithful in every respect, wasn't so heartless as to leave young Lionel to fend for himself, and decided to take him in as a son, much to the eternal ire of his wife. This odd upbringing, wedged between a duty-driven father and a spiteful mother made for most of his early life.<br/><br/>On his thirteenth birthday, Lionel's semblance finally came out while playing sports with a cousin. It's appearance made for the largest scandal the family had ever known. The boy had <em>bull horns</em>, the hallmark of a semblance from the Bronto family. The two family had always been separate; mixing blood between them was incredibly taboo. Lionel's father had kept his ill-begotten son's origins to himself ever since the boy was born, but there was no hiding his semblance, or those horns.<br/><br/>The change Lionel saw in his family was immediate, and traumatizing. People he once considered friends and brothers wouldn't so much as talk to him anymore. Updated versions of family photos began replacing the ones that included him in it. The entire Goldmann's family, for all of it's Roaring pride, and loud pursuits, were brushing Lionel under the rug with the most deafening sound of all.<br/><br/>Silence.<br/><br/>Fearing his own excommunication from the Goldmann family line, Lionel's father sent the boy away to live with his Uncle, Rob Berof Goldmann (http://orig07.deviantart.net/a3f1/f/2015/280/7/4/_brolaf_bot_by_siakim-d99fcrd.jpg). Uncle Rob was far from the best person. All things considered, he was probably a worse person than Lionel's own father. Prior to meeting his nephew, Rob spent most of his time whoring or drinking away what money he could get from underground hunter brawls and deals with dust cartels. However, this unlikely degenerate would become instrumental in giving Lionel the courage to become a hunter. <br/><br/>Initially, (and predictably,) Rob was furious over being forced to babysit his brother's brat. He barely even gave Lionel a second thought. He left Lionel to his own devices and carried on his end-of-the-world lifestyle like normal. All that changed one fateful night, when Rob came home to find his nephew had "An Accident With a Kitchen Knife." It was the kind of accident better phrased as an "accident"; Lionel still has scars on his wrists to this day. He prefers to cover them with wristbands.<br/><br/>That macabre evening came as a slap in the face to Rob, and he began to take looking after his nephew seriously. Most importantly, he began actually listening to Lionel. To Rob's surprise, he realized that no one else had ever done the same for Lionel before. Rob quit drinking, and began to do what he could for Lionel. Rob was far from a shrink, but he did his best to build his nephew up again. Often, by the only way he knew beyond drink- Fighting. Rob taught Lionel to brawl with the best of them and, when Lionel showed promise, began training him in earnest as a hunter.<br/><br/>It wasn't the perfect solution, but Rob's influence sparked a newfound feeling of self-worth in Lionel's chest. The change was something his uncle picked up on, and he began fueling that feeling as much as he could, regaling Lionel with tales of how great his family used to be and how they helped shape what Atlas is today. Even if his family refused him, Rob told Lionel that the blood of giants ran within him, and that Lionel should never forget that.<br/><br/>Lionel took these stories to heart. They filled him with a feeling he had never known: pride. Pride enough to become better than what his family thought of him, to rebel against what the world had made him out to be. He wanted to stand up to them. To say "No, I will not fall to your silence; You will never make me vanish silently into the night. I AM STILL HERE. LIONEL BRONTO GOLDMANN IS HERE, AND I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE." Lionel began staking his body and soul into training with his Uncle. He ate, slept, and breathed physical effort. He was spurred on by desire to leave a mark on the world, and to prove his family wrong.<br/><br/>Tapping out the last of his savings, Rob eventually enrolled Lionel in Beacon, and threatened his father with hell and damnation if he didn't help pay his son's tuition.  When it came time for the Beacon's entrance exam, Lionel passed with flying colors. Most notably, during a scheduled fight with a captured Grimm, Lionel crushed the beast's skull with his bare hands.<br/><br/>Lionel, at long last was done suffering in silence, and incredibly done with playing the victim. He has a mission to take life by the horns and steer himself onto a journey so great and inspiring, even his family will be unable to quiet his existence.<br/><br/>Because one day, even if he has to say it at the top of his lungs, everyone will remember the name Lionel. Bronto. Goldmann.<br/></div></div><hr/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Personality</div><div class="spoiler_body">Lionel Goldmann is the expressive ham that other hams wished they could be, if they didn't already love themselves so much. Often, people know when he enters a room not because of his size, but because he declares his arrival exuberantly, using his whole name. Yes, even the the middle one.<br/><br/>Lionel is obsessed with being healthy, working out, and displaying his POSITIVELY SUPERB MUSCULATURE. He absolutely abhors junk food, preferring to eat only meat, vegetables, eggs and milk- classic healthy foods. Finding the food at beacon occasionally below his personal (occiasonally unattainable) level of healthiness, he's become a bit of Chef in his own right, and is known to occasionally cook his own meals when the cafeteria begins serving that dreaded, GASTLY deep-fried food. Working out is almost a basic state of being for him. He'd do jumping-jacks in the middle of class if no one stopped him. He begins every morning with 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, and 100-squats every day, followed by a 10-KM run in the evening. He gives his body a break on Sundays, and the look on his face for that entire period is a perpetual, uneasy restlessness. He's addicted to the healthy high of fitness.<br/><br/>The status of his muscles and the comparative musculature of those around him are always a very focal point in his mindset. This means that his shirts are mostly optional and incredibly form fitting. He's also made sure that each is tight enough for him to DRAMATICALLY TEAR OPEN if he flexes too hard. Just, you know, to drive the point home. He has abs. Behold abs. Despite having his head firmly lodged up his own, toned buttocks, Lionel isn't mean by any measure. Beyond the large amount of fluff he puts into his own self-worth, he has a very strong sense of Honor and always looks out for those less fortunate than he.<br/><br/>However, this is only half of who Lionel is. There's a reason he sounds like an actor preforming onstage. That's just it, in fact. He is acting. Much of his true feelings are hidden behind a thick veneer of pride and patriotism. Beneath that is his true self; a hurt, lonely boy with no real home or place in life. He longs for his family's acceptance, but at the same time, he hates his family for denying him that very life. It's slowly tearing him up inside; and without an audience to bear witness, it occasionally shows.<br/><br/>Lionel, both the facade and the reality, sport an noticeable white-knight complex. He knows better than many what it feels like to feel worthless, and that has bred a deep seated hatred for discrimination within him. He will go out of his way to start a fight if he notices anyone being discriminated against, especially with regards to race. It is one of the few things that can annoy him into dropping his act.<br/></div></div><hr/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Appearance of Semblance</div><div class="spoiler_body"> (http://i.imgur.com/tOb6OXk.jpg) </div></div><br/><hr/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Theme Music</span></strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">When Cheery</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6HM9QXnVdk</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">When Being Realistic</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igZbhVpF36E</div></div></div>
