CHARACTER NAME: Autumn Knight Age: 17 Gender: Female Affiliation: First Year Student at Beacon Race: Human Aura Color: A dull, deep crimson resembling fallen leaves. Semblance: Premonition. She senses beyond her senses and bypasses the brain’s function, which causes her to sense things in real-time, instead of the thousandth of a second it takes for the signal to reach her brain. This allows her to react immediately, which makes her reaction speed seem inhumanly fast, and makes her look incredibly lucky. However, she can’t actively sustain this ability for long. When she comes back to her regular senses she is forced to acclimate to slower reaction times and becomes sluggish and groggy for a short time. Weapon: Showstopper and Rejection. Showstopper is a 5.5 foot long, 3 inch thick zweihander with a faintly red edge. Weighing in at 7 pounds, it has two hinges on the blade, one about 1/3 of the blade away from the hilt, and one about 1/3 of the blade from the tip. The hilt slides up the blade to the middle “section” and the two hinges fold inward against a strong spring, and a titanium string is knocked on either side of the blade. This is the greatbow version of the weapon. It stands 4.5 feet tall and has to be braced against the ground to be fired. The ammunition consumed is a collapsible great arrow that measures 8 inches long when collapsed and 2.5 feet long when extended. They are filled with liquid mercury to make them function like a dead blow hammer, and weigh 2 pounds each. These can be fired with ease from short and medium distances, though the bow must be arced to hit targets at long and extreme ranges. She has a tendency to augment her arrows with red dust, which can be used to devastate areas by bombarding them with one fiery explosion after another. When the weapon is in it’s primary sword form, she fights using wide swings and arcing blows, in order to keep the enemy as far from her as possible. The sword itself is also large enough to use defensively when she holds it in a reverse grip, focusing on deflecting enemy attacks rather than outright blocking them. Rejection is the metal guantlet on her right hand. She uses red dust to fuel the weapon, and it can be used to produce a quick explosion of flame directly in front of where she points it, making it more of a defensive weapon she uses to deter attackers rather than a directly offensive one. Additional weapons and armor: Autumn wears a lightweight set of halfplate armor. Additionally, her great arrows can be used as a short spear, though they are unwieldy as they are unbalanced as melee weapons due to their hollow design. Appearance: Autumn has dark, brownish-red hair, bright green eyes, and sharp, narrow facial features. Her build is feminine and voluptuous, but she is quite muscular and strong. She wears a polished metal gauntlet and elbow guard on her right hand, which is her offhand, and a leather glove on her left, which is her sword hand. She wears a polished metal paldron with red trim on each shoulder, though they are small and form-fitting to allow for maximum mobility. Her breastplate covers only the vital areas: the bosom and inner abdominal area, and wraps around her lower waist, leaving her shoulder joints free. It is polished metal and bears her personal crest, a sword with a gold hilt and crimson blade being knocked like an arrow on an orange bow. She wears polished metal shin-guards with red trim over her leather boots and metal knee pads. Personality: Autumn is a Doer. She is straightforward and blunt, with critical thinking skills and plenty of motivation. She is normally straight to the point and prefers the short explanation instead of a complete analysis. She tends more towards the things she can see hear and touch rather than superstition or hearsay. This can be a blessing and a curse, as she is sometimes surprised to find out that something she had previously dismissed was entirely true. However, by applying this philosophical razor to her life she keeps things clear and concise. Her drive can get her into more trouble than she expects sometimes. She rushes in to deal with problems head-on after assessing the situation, though can be thrown for a loop when something unexpected happens. This has taught her to be highly adaptive and innovative, fully understanding her limitations and finding ways to work around them. However, her lack of preparedness and tendency to simply wing it can sometimes be her greatest downfall. She is quick to act and always follows-through. She owns-up to any and all mistakes and successes she makes, but is careful to give credit wherever it’s due. She enjoys practical things such as honing her skills as opposed to things she finds less useful, such as schoolwork. History: As a child, Autumn grew up alone most of the time. Her father was a Hunter and was always off on missions, and her mother was always out on business trips. She learned to take care of herself and be very self-reliant, though it was never too rough and she never really went without. She often dreamt of joining her father on his missions, filled with the desire for the thrill of the hunt. She started training very young, enjoying gymnastics and physical sports as a child. As an early teen, she was promised an internship in the business her mother worked at. However, she did not want to live her life behind a desk. Going against her father’s wishes to keep her safe, she enrolled in Signal. She truly learned to hone her skills she had been practicing in secret at Signal. Not too long after she had left her father sent her a package containing a letter congratulating her admission and her weapon, Show Stopper. Having recently graduated from Signal, she intends to continue her career to become a Huntress at Beacon Academy. She is looking primarily to sharpen her skills even further and her prowess with her blade, along with greater control of her Aura.
