Team EBNI
Team EBNI (Pronounced Ebony) is my OC team, which I will use for my RWBY-related work, possibly in tandem with characters from the show.

Eisen Schwarz
We're more alike than you think.Eisen Schwarz is the leader of team EBNI, and the protagonist of Black or White. Eisen's weapons of choice are Flamme and Flocke, a pair of dust-augmented sister sabres.

Default Outfit
Eisen appears as a lean dark-haired boy with a single white streak running through his hair. He has deep, steely eyes and is rarely seen without his long black coat. He wears a pendant of his symbol, a grey rook, and this symbol is also adorned on the sleeves of his coat. His entire outfit is made up of either white, or black articles of clothing. His gloves, coat, boots and pants are all black, but his shirt and glasses are white in colouration.

When fighting the White Fang, Eisen wears a black hockey mask made of very thin iron.

Personality
Eisen has a very strong sense of right and wrong. He has a preoccupation with fairness, and honour. This conflicts with the ruthless and underhand nature his father displays. Ironically, he tells Weiss Schnee he doesn’t see the world as black and white as most people do. He believes morality is somewhat relative, and even questions why people are so quick to label to Grimm as pure evil. He mentions that if the Grimm hadn’t started the conflict, humanity would have. Eisen has a tendency to brood, and doubts he does what he does because he’s genuinely a good person. He tells Weiss the only reason he started defending Schnee industries was to undermine his father, and only acts like a good person because he’s afraid he isn’t one.

However, Eisen is not without a sense of humor, albeit, a very dry one. He tends to tease, or mock his foes in a deadpan manner. Despite this, he refuses to fight unfairly. When he dueled Weiss, he managed to knock her down and disarm her with his semblance. However, rather than pressing home his advantage he sheaths his weapons and retrieves Myrtenaster. He then helps Weiss up, and hands her weapon back to her. This was met with boos on the part of Cardin Winchester, confusion from Wiess herself, and an intrigued look from Glynda Goodwitch. They then resume the fight, but both draw. Later, Ruby Rose asks why he didn’t finish Weiss off when he had the chance. He remarks “I’m not my father. I’d rather beat a Schnee who can defend herself.” Some, most notably Cardin Winchester, feel this is a weakness.

Abilities & Powers
Eisen uses two straight-sabres named “Flamme” and “Flocke”. Both swords are identical in shape, size and length. However, Flamme is a charred black colour, whereas Flocke is a pure white. Flamme (German for flame), is loaded with fire dust in the hilt and wielded in his dominant right hand. Flocke (Roughly, German for flake) is loaded with ice dust, and held in his left-hand. Eisen is incredibly skillful in the use of one, or both of these weapons. He prefers to use Flamme for attacking, whereas he favours using Flocke for defense. Eisen’s natural agility, even when using both weapons in tandem is exceptional. He can also use the dust in his swords to amplify his semblance.

Eisen is in peak physical condition thanks to spending most of his childhood away from his home. He takes his physical fitness very seriously, and spends a lot of time putting in intense training to make sure he is ready for every fight. Eisen has incredible dexterity, speed, and good strength.

Eisen’s semblance is the ability to project a low-impact pulse by effectively “shedding” his aura. This pulse takes the form of a dome that quickly expands outwards, with his body acting as the centrepoint. This dome expands rapidly, but has a short range and duration. When amplified by dust, the dome can become a ring of fire, a small blizzard, or powerful gust of wind. Eisen will use his semblance to knock enemies away from him, or reflect incoming projectiles. However, repeated use of his semblance will leave him viscerally exhausted.

Trivia

 * Eisen is loosely based off of the Grimm brother's character "Iron John".
 * Eisen's name translates as "Iron Black" in German.
 * He can be seen as the opposite of Weiss Schnee in many ways, though the two have some similarities.
