I had an idea for a character inspired by The Devil Went Down to Georgia (might throw in some allusions to other "Deal with the Devil" stories if needed). His weapon would be a special violin and bow that makes use of dust-infused rosin to cast a variety of elemental effects when he plays. The bow stick would also function as a sword.

1) Basic Info

Name: Johnny Goldenrod (Not great, but it's the best I got. I'm open to suggestions)

CNR Explanation: Goldenrod is a color. Johnny is the name of the guy in the song. Hope that's good enough.

Species: Human

Age: 17? probably.

Gender: male

Emblem: Not sure. Maybe a musical staff with a flaming bow going accross it. I've got a few ideas.

Occupation: Student. Makes some extra cash playing his fiddle.

2) Appearance:

Aura Colour: gold

Height:

Weight:

Eyes:

Skin Colour:

Face Shape:

Hair: Chin length blonde hair, obsessively groomed to look just messy enough

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Physical Traits:

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Outfit: I'm thinking button down shirt, vest, blue jeans, and a cowboy hat.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Accessories: mirrored golden sunglasses

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">3) Characteristics:

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Background: Child prodigy on the fiddle. Became convinced his parents were taking advantage of his talent, so he ran away from home. Scraped by on his natural virtuosity and the generosity of others (mostly that second one). Traveled around villaiges, wound up becoming moderately famous on a local level. One time he was traveling between villiages with some people, and they got attacked by grimms. He'd have died if not for the timely intervention of a huntsman wielding a dust-powered flute. This inspired him to become a huntsman himself, so he'd never have to rely on others to save him. (He may or may not have sold his soul to Atlas to get his fancy weaponized violin.)

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Personality: Independent to a fault. Has a tendency to push people away. Would probably grow out of that through character development. Tries to come across as a hotshot. Likes to show off.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">4) Trivia

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Skills: Normally, fiddle playing would be considered a non-combat skill. Not sure about other skills.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Allusion: The Devil Went Down to Georgia (and possibly Faust)

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Notes: Here's an idea. You know that aura-capturing tech Atlas made? Well, maybe some runaway kid with no connections and dreams of being a huntsman got roped into being a test subject in some clandestine aura-related experiments. In exchange, he got either a one-of-a-kind weaponized violin, or a boatload of cash. Ever since, his aura's been a lot weaker. Seems he literally sold his soul. Of course, he's not stupid enough to go blabbing about it

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;"> Hunter Extension

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">A) Weapon

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Name: Devil's Due (again, open to suggestions)

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Short Description: Gold colored violin made from advanced materials. Bow doubles as a sword. Dust-infused rosin can be applied to the bow to produce elemental effects when he plays it. The violin makes for a decent bludgeon. In a pinch, a piece of rosin could be used like that crystal Roman threw at Ruby in episode 1.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">B) Semblance

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Name: Allegrissimo (maybe Accellerando instead)

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Short Description: Speed and dexterity in his hands and arms goes through the roof for a few seconds. Besides the obvious benefits to swordsmanship, it also improves his already substantial musical talent. This allows for much more intricate and impressive dust effects. Using his semblance is tiring however.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Activation Cue: Eyes glow, movements become fast

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Reflection of Personality: His musical talent is a huge part of who he is. As far as he's concerned, improved fiddle skills are the primary effect of his semblance. Any other benefits are just icing on the cake.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">C) Combat Info

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Preferred Range: Mid-to-close range, unless he's out of dust.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Landing Strategy: Rosin up his bow with wind dust, then play a spritely jig to have the wind carry him. (of course, he'd probably push it too far, run out of dust, crash into some trees, and sheepishly hope no one saw)

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Fighting Style: Elemental caster. Very versatile. Area-of-effect, hit-and-run, annoying sabotage, and much more. The bow can only have 1 kind of rosin on it at a time, however, and reapplying mid-battle isn't always an option.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;">Thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas for what he could do with different kinds of dust?
