Not in Vasili's case. The only Weapons Vasili uses are actual firearms. Pistols &amp; Sniper Rifles, mostly. Nor does he use the explosive rounds like most others.<br/>Barrett M107 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M107#M107)<br/>Sniper Rifle usually has a Silencer Attachment for those shots needed to be taken quietly. Accessory Rail allows for quick mount-/unmounting of different attachments for different situations. Attachments are located inside his pack, unless mentioned otherwise.<br/>Because of the Rifles High-Caliber it isn't needed to Explode. The Powerful bullet can blow off limbs (Beowulf, Ursa, etc.) with relative ease.<br/>Dual FN Five-seveNs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_Five-seven)<br/>Same as the Barrett. A Silencer is usually attached to both Pistols.<br/>Something different, however. The Pistols are made out of a metallic compound that is damned near invincible, allowing Vasili to use them like melee weapons or tools, though always held in Firearm form, and the business end of the barrel has been sharpened to create an Assault Crown for both weapons.<br/>Because these are pistols, Dust needed to be infused with such bullets, thus the explosive effect.<br/><br/>There are a few "special" bullets created by his favorite Gunsmith.<br/>Though the workmanship came from the Smith, the idea came from Vasili.<br/>There are only Five rounds of each "specialized" bullet. He has one of each on his person at all times, the rest sit in his pack.<br/><br/>Also carries with him other things in a large Pack designed for long distance travel. The items in question depend on what the situation calls for, though it mostly only covers First Aid, Sleep Gear, extra ammunition, one set of Explosives, and Rations.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Fighting Style:</strong> Gun-Fu.<br/>Precisely what you're thinking it is. Kung-Fu but with Guns. The only additive is that Vasili can cause some blunt force damage, simply by "punching" a target with the business end of his Pistols, squeezing the trigger causes more damage if not immediate death.<br/><br/><strong>Aura Color &amp; Intensity:</strong> Royal Blue / Powerful<br/><br/><strong>Semblance:</strong> Powerful Shield - Vasili's Semblence was seen once in his lifetime, and it was only seen by those he had saved and not by him.<br/>Sometime during his period as a "heard of" Mercenary, he was assigned to a unit who was supposed to be decoy in a larger operation on one of the other Continents.<br/>Basically, they were supposed to die.<br/>Outnumbered and cornered in cave...<br/>Running low on ammunition, stamina, and strength.<br/>Vasili Ilari made peace with himself as he attached every explosive and Dust crystal the Company had left. Before anyone could say anything or talk him out of it he ran into the Grimm horde.<br/>The explosion not only destroyed the Grimm that were attacking them, but also brought down and killed the Grimm above them.<br/>The secondary and Primary battles were won by a single man who was found unconcious and surrounded by a blue light.<br/>Vasili saw it as nothing more than a miracle, as he did not believe himself worthy or capable of becoming a Hunter, or even trying.<br/>Not even once has his Semblance ever showed itself when he needed it while he fought for his life under Human captivity, meaning it only comes out when he wants to protect others.<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong> Vasili Ilari...<br/>That name is not his own. He was born and raised in captivity like some wild animal by a group of Humans who despised the Faunas. As a Faunas he had some abilities normal Humans didn't, and under their curiosity, every Friday &amp; Saturday were Fight Nights.<br/>If they could, the Boy would fight other Faunas, to the Death. If not, then Grimm.<br/>Not a very strong man, he learned to become quick, agile, &amp; fast, with lots of Stamina.<br/><br/>On his Tenth Birthday, the day he seemed to be treated the worse, the Boy had had enough and attempted to escape.<br/>He succeeded but only by taking a Man's weapons, life. and name.<br/>The man's name was Vasili Ilari.<br/><br/>From that day forward Vasili traveled everywhere with his weapons, using them day to day, constantly going toe to toe with Grimm to train himself .<br/>Eventually he found Gun-Fu to suit his style.<br/>His skill with a long-gun became famous in the minor countries of the World, and he was offered contracts and money to do different jobs.<br/>Most were to help save small villages from Grimm.<br/>The higher paying jobs consisted of putting down other Faunas and/or Humans in power.<br/><br/>On one job, he had to kill a non-combatant. A Reporter who caught a picture of him in the same area, at the same time as the death of a high ranking corporate Official from within the Schnee Dust Company.<br/>The body had fallen from the tower, so the head being caved hid the fact that the man was shot in the head first, before falling.<br/>By the time anyone found out, if they ever did, Vasili would have been paid and long gone.<br/>The picture, however, would have been bad for Vasili and for his Client.<br/><br/>For 12 years Vasili did as a Mercenary should.<br/>Then, one day, he was given an offer.<br/>A Eis Hunter offered Vasili a chance to settle down and claim a place as home.<br/>For a long time, settling down in one place never crossed his mind, unless there was a very good inn next to a very good strip joint, he never usually stayed in one place for more than two days.<br/>However, the offer came with a job.<br/>A well-paid one.<br/>The Mist.<br/>The Eis Hunter waned Vasili to aid in the investigation of the Mist, for the Hunter knew Vasili's secret technique to hunting Grimm.<br/>After that, he could pick a nice big chunk of land to claim as home.<br/>Needless to say, Vasili Ilari agreed.<br/>Besides...he'd never been to Eis before, nor to a School.<br/>His primary post: Hunter Outpost at Schwartz.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Easy-going despite his past. Doesn't care if you're human or Faunas, if you act like an asshole, he'll treat you like an asshole. Has a real problem with authority. Basically, the guy that everyone likes when he's nice. Hates when he acts like an asshole. And (women) want to bed when he gets flirty. His sense of Loyalty follows towards what little friends he has, and to those he connects with really well.<br/><br/>As mentioned earlier he didn't have much of a childhood, so he still acts like a Kid at times.<br/>Though, he's attached to the Hunters Outpost, and supposed to be keeping the Academy safe, he is found wandering the School halls, sneaking into- and sitting in on classes, eating in the school cafeteria, buried within brawls when they happen, and...sometimes...even seen teaching Classes, though mostly only things that can be used in the Field (He's usually chased out when he's caught within School Premises, but like a stray cat he just keeps coming back)<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Albert One Stone, played by TheLegionary</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/134/6/3/le_chevalier_d_eon___maximilien_robespierre_by_hodremlin-d659k89.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Albert One Stone (a.k.a. Mr. PhD)<br/><strong>Age:</strong> 37<br/><strong>Gender &amp; Sexuality:</strong> Male, Heterosexual<br/><strong>Year:</strong> Not applicable<br/><strong>Team: </strong>Not applicable<br/><br/><strong>Weapon:</strong>   As an academics, Albert One Stone was not that interested in weapons. As time passed, he changed his mind and became quite curious about the topic. After a lot of research, he came to the conclusion that a long sword was his best option. Using his academic knowledge about Dust and the minerals available, he gave very precise instructions to the blacksmith forging his weapon. The outcome is a up-to-6-foot retractile sword, weighting no more than one pound, which shines when Grimms approach. It is very sharp and resistant at the same time it can he carried hidden – its contracted form is no longer than 2 inches long.<br/><br/><strong>Fighting Style:</strong>  Albert One Stone is a well-built man. He used to work out two hours per day, which enhaced his strength a lot. Even though he is not very fast, Albert One Stone is really tough and resistant: he can take a lot before giving up. This information is useless to know how Albert One Stone fights. He prefers ambushes to open fights. Even when under attack, Albert One Stone ponders carefully the possibilities and comes out with the most harmful strike on the enemy. In the frenzy of the battle, he calmly decides who and how to strike. Strategy and tactics are a wise way to save Dust, he says.<br/><br/><strong>Aura:</strong> When he Alberto One Stone worked at Avalanche Academy, his Aura used to be a bright Gold, the colour of wisdom. After leaving Eis, villagers at Schwarz saw his Gold a bit darker. Currently, his Aura’s real colour is unknown.<br/><br/><strong>Semblance:</strong>  Thermostat - Albert One Stone can control the temperature of the surrounding area in a very precise level. He can raise or lower it in a fraction of seconds. At first, this seems to be quite an inoffensive skill, specially taking into account what other Semblance can do. Alberto One Stone learned to be very precise in the use of the temperature: he can induce dramatic changes, which may break the weapons. No one knows how much area can be subject to the influence of his Thermostat. Neither does anyone know how much variation he can cause.<br/><br/><strong>Biography: </strong> One of the brightest graduates from Beacon Academy, Albert One Stone had a skyrocketing academic career. He was particularly interested in how the Aura can streamline the use of Dust – his seminal work on the subject is a mandatory reading for every student. Later, he became interested in how the excessive use of Dust could be causing damages to the environment. In reality, this was meant to be the topic of his PhD dissertation, but his supervisor dissuaded him from that idea: it was too politically incorrect for the standards of the time. Instead, he wrote on how gender influences the Aura, a rather obvious topic. As Albert One Stone applied for a position as Professor at Beacon Academy, his work was source of a snobbish examination that made him lost the position for the stupid Bartholomew Oobleck – later, he would learn that the there was a conspiracy to leave him out.<br/>Completely humiliated, Albert One Stone self-exiled in Eis, where a position as Professor in the Avalanche Academy was easily conquered. With his free time, he retook his studies on the excessive use of Dust. Coincidence or not, the Mist began exactly by that time. Shortly after, Professor Albert One Stone left his position in the Avalanche Academy. The official excuse was that Professor Albert One Stonte wanted more time for some field research for his Post Doctorate Studies close to the Mist, which he believed (or said to believe) was caused by human interference. Rumours said there was something else, maybe deception, love, jealousy, fear or incomprehension – there are many stories about his departure. In the first years of his research, he published some papers, including in the famous Weapons Magazine. Nevertheless, in the last years, nothing else was heard about him. Recently, he has been spotted near the Mist when the Grimms attack.<br/>Villain or hero? Well, this is to be found out.<br/><br/><strong>Personality: </strong>His personal history would suggest that Albert One Stone be a frustrated man, who has communication problems with other people. At first sight, this could be true. However, he is not like that. After he becomes a friend, he trusts people blindly. He is easygoing and he hardly gets stressed. He smiles at everyone, says thank you and please, helps old ladies to cross busy streets – he used to be quite a womanizer in the old days, even though his nerdy, shy side would speak louder sometimes. This is why many people are reluctant to believe he is involved with the return of the Grimms amid the Mist.<br/><br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Henrik Pridefall, played by TheHangedMan</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Henrik Pridefall<br/><strong>Age: </strong> 32<br/><strong>Gender &amp; Sexuality:</strong> Male, heterosexual<br/><strong>Year:</strong> N/A<br/><strong>Team:</strong> SHO (Schwarz Hunter Outpost)<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>  Henrik has a mane of brown hair resembling a lion's in some ways. He also has lion ears, and a big, bushy beard and mustache, giving him a rugged, rough around the edges vibe. He's made his own custom armor, using bones from Grimm, leathers made of Grimm hide, and even fur taken from Grimm. The end result is something that is moderately heavy, impedes his movement somewhat, but provides excellent protection against Grimm, as well as more than adequate protection from the at-times lethal cold of Eis. <br/><strong>Weapon:</strong> Rip &amp; Tear: A set of clawed gauntlets and greaves. These weapons have some parts made from Grimm bone, which primarily serve as aesthetics.  The Grimm leather, fur linings, and dense metal alloys used in its construction, confers much more substantial improvements. The metal claws (five on each, for a total of twenty) are attached to ten foot long chains, which can be controlled fairly easily; they can be fired out, or retracted back, giving him an additional form of travel, as well as giving him the ability to draw in enemies.<br/><br/><strong>Fighting Style:</strong> Though slowed somewhat by his choice of armor, Henrik's fighting style can still be considered on the faster side of things. He is also extremely vicious. Rip &amp; Tear are his weapons, and he uses them to rip and tear his opponents into bite-sized pieces. <br/><br/><strong>Aura Color &amp; Intensity:</strong> Weak red aura with a black "spider web" pattern overlaying it.  The black sections seem to throb or pulse. <br/><br/><strong>Semblance:</strong> Der Wilde Jager: Some times in order to kill a monster, you need to be a monster. <br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong> Henrik was a native of Pridefall; in fact, he is named after the settlement's founder, Marius Pridefall. The Pridefall family have always had the appearance of a lion, even when mixing in with other Faunus; so even though his mother looked more like an elk, there should be no surprise that he wound up with such a magnificent mane of hair.<br/><br/>He attended Avalanche Academy when he was 20, and worked tirelessly to protect his country from the Grimm. Originally a member of Team Harsh (Henrik, Rudvitch, Sicily, Helga), a full Faunus team. They stuck together and all worked well and hard. When the reports of the Mist came in, and that Pridefall was under attack, they all went back to try and save as many of their kind as they could. But the Grimm kept coming, and they kept pushing them back.<br/><br/>He remembers it clearly. First, Rudvitch went down. Sicily tried to help, only to get brought down from her blind side. Helga and Henrik were both stuck fighting their own uneven fights, because the Grimm had actually managed to break them up; and disengaging from their enemies would just leave them vulnerable. In the end, Henrik was the only one to walk away from that dreadful day.<br/><br/>Needless to say,  the events of that day have had a profound effect on his psyche.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Henrik usually hides behind a fairly cheerful facade, but it's a really good lie. Really, on the inside, he's dying. He's burnt out from the losses he's seen, and only really continues to live and function because of habit.  Oddly enough, his yearning for death has done little to dampen his almost berserker like fighting style. <br/></div></div>
