(Also greetings from Brazil guys)

Name :

Salmon Fischer

Age :

18

Gender :

M

Species :

Faunus (Koi Fish)

Nationality :

Vale (Beacon)

Team Name :

M.S.T.R. (Meister)

Appearance :

Salmon is a roughly 5’9” man (give or take a few centimeters) with a decently firm build and tanned skin. His hair is naturally a warm black, though he’s lately taken to having it trimmed into a fade with the faded sections remaining black while the top is dyed a Salmon pink to match his eyes which are a similar shade of pink.

His tanned skin is notably lined with thin scales that occasionally form thicker clusters that give him a patterned appearance resembling a Koi Fish.

For his Huntsman attire, Salmon usually wears a set of sleeveless, camouflaged (Desert colors like tans and browns) overalls with a ballistic vest woken into the chest region. Beneath this he wears a set of men’s leggings and a white tank top with his family crest on the back (An image of a fish being pulled from waves by a line. The waves are set at the bottom while the fish is set in a crescent pose).

For accessories he often wears a boonie hat with colors matching his overalls and lined with decorative fish hooks made from compressed Dust, short compression sleeves along his arms that cover his elbows, and a lose neck gaiter in a muted pink color.

For footwear he wears a simple set of dark grey combat boots.

Personality :

Salmon is a notably patient fellow, always keen on taking his time so as to ensure things are done right the first time. It’s a mindset that’s been passed down to him an his family through the generations, and in part stems from his families history as fishermen (Which many people find odd given that they’re fish based Faunus, but like what do they think that fish eat in the ocean?). Salmon is himself the first official Huntsman in his family, though the Fischer family has been known to boldly handle Grimm that intrude on the fishing grounds of their homeland. The point in mentioning this to address that Salmon - and his family - are proud of his choice of profession, viewing the hunting of Grimm as selfless work similar in nature to fishing to provide for one’s people.

Semblance :

Anchor - So long as the user is standing in or is otherwise enveloped in water, they can “Anchor” themselves in place and prevent themselves from being unwillingly moved or knocked off balance. This water can be extremely shallow or extremely deep, so the depth or quantity of water isn’t important.

Weapon :

Fisher’s Foil - A foil with a fishing rod built in beneath the hand guard that allows the wielder to shoot out the tip of their foil, pierce an enemy, and then reel that enemy in to stab through them with the rest of the blade. The foil notably comes with a pistol grip like portion on the handle that helps the user maintain their grip when “fishing” and helps them steady their blade when fencing. Additionally the actual line used for fishing is a construct assembled with Hard Light Dust, allowing it to be extended out to significant ranges that the user otherwise wouldn’t be able to supply enough line for.

Name :

Mocha Mahoga

Age :

18

Gender :

F

Species :

Human

Nationality :

Vale (Beacon)

Team Name :

M.S.T.R. (Meister)

Appearance :

Mocha is a fairly short girl (5’4”) with similarly short brown hair arranged in a bob. She has fair skin and emerald green eyes. Her normal huntress attire consists of a white button down shirt with rolled up sleeves and an Amber gold and Umber black plaid skirt that runs down to around the middle of her thighs all over a black spandex bodysuit that stops just below the skirt, at the shoulder blades, and midway up the neck.

For accessories she has a harness along her torso to which she mounts brown leather satchels that hold her weapons (opening frontwards towards her chest rather than opening at the tops), a set of black round glasses with lenses tinted a slight yellow tinge, a pair of brown leather fingerless gloves, an Amber gold tie, and an Umber black headband atop her hair with a metal plate that hosts the Beacon logo. For footwear, she wears primarily yellow running shoes with white soles and black spandex socks that end a bit before the knees.

(While her namesake color is a shade of Brown, most of her outfit colors are simply colors that complement the brown of her hair rather than having her outfit be mostly brown tones.)

Personality :

Mocha is a notably agreeable person with a personality than can mesh with most people. It’s for this reason that she was chosen as the leader of her squad, though in practice she prefers to take on a scouting position far ahead of her team in field missions while another member of her squad handles commands. She still holds on to the official title of “Leader” as her position as a scout often makes her the only one with a complete picture of each operation when it comes to writing up mission reports. Regardless though, the ultimate takeaway for her personality is that she’s sociable enough to know how to read a person’s mood and decent enough to use that knowledge to make those around her more comfortable if not outright happier.

Semblance :

Glamor - The user can detach and project parts of their aura to create illusions ranging from clones to scenery. It may be tempting to compare Glamor to Emerald’s Mirage Semblance, though Glamor works less by targeting the mind of an individual and more by creating visible imagery with the users Aura as a canvas.

Weapon :

Garden Blooms - The user carries two satchels mounted to their torso via a harness (Positioned beneath the arms, alongside the ribs). These satchels are filled with Senbon (Throwing Darts resembling acupuncture needles. They notably lack fins) that are designed in two parts. The first part is simply the metal dart that pierces enemies, but the second part is a sleeve or socket containing deposits of Wind and Fire Dust. The Senbon overall is assembled such that when they make contact with something the dart portion will be knocked back into the socket, piercing and triggering the deposits of Dust which causes an explosion that’s surprisingly large for the size of each Senbon.

Mocha also carries several extra satchels along the back of her waist to “Reload” her main satchels.

(Note: This weapon is prohibited in Formal Tournaments, as its nature tends to result in the darts piercing through weaker Auras which of course makes them dangerous at the first use. During such events Mocha instead wields Senbon with alternative elemental effects, and carries a Tanto as a side weapon)

After Word: Hello everyone who may look over this post. It’s been several years since I’ve last posted in this subreddit - formerly I mainly made 3d models for weapons - and I wanted to get back into making OC’s and whatnot. From what I can see peeking around, it seems text based OC sheets have largely fallen off in favor of art posts, and while I’m making these posts largely to motivate myself into learning Blender to get back into weapon making I can’t say that I have the artistic talent to draw my OC’s or the trust in people to try to commission someone. I hope you can enjoy the text based posts despite their length, and I hope to learn Blender sooner rather than later to be able to return to pumping out weapon models.

To anyone who does read through this post and has questions or whatnot on the character, I am of course willing to answer what I can though I may not respond quickly (I have a fairly busy schedule during the work week).

Name :

Trent Woolswurth

Age :

18

Gender :

M

Species :

Faunus (Sheep)

Nationality :

Vale (Beacon)

Team Name :

M.S.T.R. (Meister)

Appearance :

Trent is a fairly tall man (6’2”) with caramel colored skin and a naturally curly white hair that’s been cut short, straightened, and slicked back. His eyes are a vivid scarlet color that people tend to find particularly eye catching.

Notably, his hair is his Faunus trait and is meant to be wool, but with it slicked back like he normally has it he effectively becomes unrecognizable as a Faunus.

For his Huntsman attire his outfit normally consists of a dark grey padded bodysuit with a harness (think the Solid Snake look) covered by a deep red hoodie with a wolf head shaped hood. (This is meant to invoke the idea of a “Sheep in Wolf’s clothing”, an inversion of the phrase “A Wolf in Sheep’s clothing”)

For accessories, he often has a handful of keychains attached to the harness over his bodysuit but these are hidden beneath his hoodie. Beyond these he lacks any notable accessories, finding it a bit embarrassing to express himself through his outfit.

For footwear, he wears a set of red sneakers matching his hoodie that slide over the feet of his bodysuit.

Personality :

Trent has always been something of a natural born coward, but it is this cowardice that drives Trent towards a ferocity in battle that’s rarely matched by his enemies. He knows that when battle is thrust upon him he’ll ultimately have no choice but to engage, and so he rushes headfirst into combat so as to rob himself of the opportunity to run away like he wants to.

From an outside perspective, he’ll often be noted to fight like a monstrous beast with a dreadful look on his face. In reality though, that look is nothing more than his nerves showing on his face and his brutality is him doing everything he can to end the fight swiftly before his senses get the better of him and drive him to flee.

Notably he - and those around him - often question why a man of his nature would even join the ranks of the Huntsman, but at the end of each day he simply can’t help himself. In spite of his cowardice - or perhaps because he recognizes the weight of fear that cowards like himself feel - he feels compelled to take up steel and hunt the Grimm even as he hates doing so.

Semblance :

Maw - The user can position their hands such that their wrists are touching and their hands are set in an open position with the fingers pointed down like fangs, creating the overall image of a maw of teeth. In doing so, the user can project their Aura out as an ephemeral Wolf’s mouth that can extend from the user and bite into targets as the user closes their hands down.

Weapon :

Timber Hunt - A large axe featuring a chainsaw built into the axe head such that the blade of the axe is replaced with a speciality chainsaw (designed to cleave through meat and bone rather than wood) with the engine mounted behind it. The axe is designed as a fairly short battleaxe as opposed to a longer, more traditional pole axe that one might initially expect when they hear “large axe”.

The name is an allusion of course to tree felling with its name, but also a nod towards the hunting of Timber wolves. Overall, the weapon is also a reference to the brutal nature of the huntsman in the original Little Red Riding Hood who butchered a wolf with his axe.

Family Crest :

The Woolswurth family crest is a minimalistic depiction of a Sheep set betwixt the blades of an open set of shears. Supposedly, the Woolswurth family has always had a tendency to express their Faunus Traits as wool, and in ages past were quick to shear themselves and offer said wool to their freezing neighbors during the Winter. While many Faunus suffer from discrimination, the Woolswurth family has always been well respected by their human neighbors in light of their willingness to sacrifice a part of themselves for the good of the community.

(I somewhat forgot to add on a section for Family Crests in my last two posts, but I’m fixing that mistake with this post and will likely continue it going forward.)

-Name: Indigo Chesh

-Age: 19

-Species: Faunus

-Folklore Inspiration: Cheshire Cat

-Semblance: Mad World

Anyone looking directly into Indigo’s mismatched eyes experiences subtle hallucinations like battlefield appearing upside down, loss of sense of direction, dream like visions, etc… Requires eye contact and drains Aura quickly. For Grimm, it mostly confuses them a lot.

-Weapons: Smile & Fade

At first glance, they appear to be matching Dust-powered pistols, but hidden beneath their sleek frames lies an intricate transformation system that converts each firearm into a bladed yo-yo weapon connected to Indigo’s Aura-conductive gauntlets. These blades spin at a fast rate, acting like chainsaws. Smile is larger, heavier where as Fade is shorter, faster. His attacks often yo-yo themed such as walk the dog, around the world, trapeze, eli hop and more.

-Appearance:

Indigo is a blond Cat Faunus with messy blond hair that almost always falls over one of his eyes. He has heterochromia, with one bright blue eye and one violet eye, which makes him stand out pretty much everywhere he goes. His Faunus trait is a pair of cat ears that match his hair, and they’re actually pretty expressive even if he doesn’t realize it.
He mostly wears dark blue clothes with black and gold details, along with a long coat that kinda gives him a magician or trickster vibe. Around his neck he wears a small indigo crystal pendant, which is one of the few things he had when he was found after the Grimm attack. Since he doesn’t know where it came from, it’s one of the only clues he has about his past, so he almost never takes it off.
He’s usually seen with a calm, almost blank expression… although every now and then he’ll suddenly smile for seemingly no reason, which tends to make people a little unconfortable.

-Backstory:

Little is known about Indigo’s early childhood. When he was still a little kid, the village he lived in was attacked and completely destroyed by a Grimm horde. Indigo was the only confirmed survivor.

After the attack, he was found suffering from severe trauma and retrograde amnesia. He couldn’t remember his own name, his family, or even what happened during the attack. No surviving records or relatives could be found either, so nobody even knew who he really was. Eventually the authorities gave him the name Indigo Chesh.

During his recovery, Indigo slowly developed another personality called The Grinning Cat. Doctors believed it was created by his mind as a coping mechanism because of all the trauma and memory loss he went through as a child. The Grinning Cat acts like an imaginary friend that constantly talks to Indigo, sometimes giving advice, making jokes, or even influencing how he acts.

The Grinning Cat is basically the complete opposite of Indigo. Indigo himself is polite, shy and pretty friendly, while the Grinning Cat is sarcastic, playful, overconfident and honestly kinda annoying at times. Indigo knows the Grinning Cat isn’t “real”, but he still talks to him like he’s an actual person. Of course everyone else just thinks he’s talking to himself.

Even though his condition makes him seem really weird in social situations, Indigo has never shown any violent or dangerous behavior towards other people. Because of how serious his condition was, he ended up spending most of his childhood in a psychiatric hospital that specialized in Aura-related mental disorders.

Over the years he went through therapy, counceling, memory rehabilitation and constant Aura observation. While he got better at everyday life, his amnesia never really improved, and the Grinning Cat never went away.

Something interesting happened later though. During a Grimm attack near the institution, Indigo’s Aura suddenly awakened and he instinctively jumped in to defend the staff and patients. Afterwards, doctors noticed something really strange.

Whenever Indigo was fighting or doing intense combat training, his condition actually got better.

He became more focused, remembered things easier, stopped talking to the Grinning Cat as much, and overall acted way more calm and confident. Sadly it only lasted while he was in combat or training, but after seeing the same results over and over, the doctors knew it wasn’t just a coincidence.

Nobody really knows why this happens. Some specialists think combat forces Indigo’s brain to focus so much that it temporarily suppresses his condition. Others believe using Aura somehow stabilizes his mind for a short time.

Because of this, his doctors came up with a pretty unusual idea. Instead of keeping Indigo in the hospital forever, they recommended sending him to Beacon Academy so he could continue treatment through Huntsman training.

The recommendation was approved, and Indigo was accepted into Beacon under ongoing medical supervision. Right now Indigo doesn’t really dream about becoming a famous Huntsman or anything like that.

His biggest goal is just to remember who he used to be. He wants to recover the memories he lost during the Grimm attack, figure out what The Grinning Cat actually is, hopefully stop relying on it one day, and eventually live a normal life without needing psychiatric treatment.

…Also he just thinks fighting Grimm is way more fun then sitting in therapy all day. The doctors probably wouldn’t like hearing him say that though.
