<div class="floatleft">(http://orig03.deviantart.net/02cc/f/2013/100/0/7/lars_alexandersson_by_ultramarineandwhite-d613ous.jpg)</div><strong>Actual Name:</strong>Strype Lao Hu<br/><strong>Student Pseudonym:</strong>Sigurd Thomas<br/><strong>Age:</strong>17<br/><strong>Sex:</strong>Male<br/><strong>Orientation:</strong>Heterosexual<br/><strong>Height:</strong>6’0<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>Gymnast<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Sigurd is friendly and doesn’t judge others. He’s not always the initiator of conversation and comes off as a daydreamer, appearing to always be in thought. Despite not being the best student when it comes to combat in the school, he accepts it without shame and remains optimistic. His optimism is his golden quality and makes him quite the go-to guy when someone is feeling down or troubled by something.<br/><br/>Strype, on the other hand, is dutiful. He receives the mission and carries it out and not just to the best of his ability. He tries to exceed expectations. He knows what he is capable of and he is determined to carry out the job he came here to do.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Strype and his older brother Tiger are fugitives from Atlas but they originally grew up in Vacuo. Their parents were extreme Faunus activists and White Fang terrorists who have a lineage that can be traced back to the Faunus Rights Revolution. Strype and Tiger were carted around by their parents until their murder during a dust train hijacking. The hijacking was successful but the endless hatred they left behind still lingered in the hearts of their sons. Strype grew under the mentoring of his brother, the White Fang organization, and the belief that everything the Faunus do is for the good of their kind.<br/><br/>From a young age, Strype and Tiger were raised as professional killers. They were breed for the sole purpose of being a part of operation Hunter Killer. The goal of the operation was to infiltrate Beacon Academy, one of the main and most renowned academies in all of Mistral, and carryout a bombing to stunt the Human’s huntsman/huntress-making operation. On a well-devised background and fake transcripts, Strype was accepted to Beacon Academy under his alias Sigurd Thomas where he poses as a normal student. His job is to learn the ins and outs of the academy and locate the best location for him to carry out the operation. Tiger is the backup if he is to fail.<br/><br/><strong>Combat Style:</strong>Sigurd, at times, seems like he doesn’t know how to wield his weapon and so some people wonder how such an amateur even got into the school. He has the strength to swing it, but he still has much to learn when it comes to technique.<br/><br/>Strype is quite dangerous. When he fights, he fights to kill and doesn’t hold back. He wields the great hammer, Erdbeben as though it were a croquet mallet, whirling it and shattering the earth with its every slam. The power he puts behind his swings give him a momentum that he not only uses to protect himself but to break shields. His swings are not something to be blocked, and he is best challenged with range. His hand-to-hand combat is similar to Tiger-style martial arts. His claws (when revealed) will cleave and his strikes will cripple.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Erdbeben</span>: A great warhammer that has an adjustable shaft. Normally, the shaft is five-feet with a massive head that is 40 inches long, 24 inches wide, and 20 inches in height. Dust capsules can be inserted into the loading dial that makes up its cylindrical shape, which add to the explosive and devastating effect the weapon has when the hammer falls. The shaft optimally can extend to eight-feet for those wide swings that catch an enemy off-guard. It is also sturdy enough to be used as a shield against most projectiles and other lethal offenses. Erdbeben was a stolen design from the Atlas government and gifted to Strype from his brother Tiger. The weapon was originally designed to be wielded by an Atlesian knight.<br/><span class="bbc_u"><em>Erd Launcher/Minigun</em></span>: The warhammer condenses into a shoulder rocket launcher that fires dust rockets that hone onto an enemy(ies)'s location. When lowered to hip level, the loading dial will spin, allowing Strype to exhaust any remaining shells in rapid gatling succession.<br/><span class="bbc_u"><em>Dust Grenades</em></span>: The capsules loaded into Erd can be used as hand grenades with affects from incendiary to a misty smokescreen when detonated.<br/><br/><strong>Semblance</strong>: Strype possesses super strength. It is no wonder that he can wield such an immense hammer. His strength allows him to leap great distances, wield his hammer, and break defenses thought to be impenetrable.<br/><br/><strong>Other:</strong><br/>Strype is a tiger Faunus whose aura materializes on his body as tiger stripes that cover the entirety of his body but for his chest and stomach. Other fauna qualities are his slight fangs and golden tiger eyes. His tail is four-feet and painted solid black. He keeps it threaded through the rung of his pants to act as a faux-belt or coiled about his leg if he were wearing pants without rungs.<br/><br/>As a student in Beacon Academy, his Faunus ethnicity is a secret and nobody knows that he’s a Faunus until it is properly revealed in game.<br/><br/>Although Sigurd is secretly a terrorist, I don’t intend for him to carry out the operation. I would like for him to make friends and for those friends to be the reason why he chooses not to proceed with the mission.
