3) Characteristics:

Background: Glaucio had always known the orphanage, he had been dropped off there when he was a baby with a note attached revealing his name. He was cheerful and happy there, many of them were his friends who would play with him and comfort him when he was crying because of one of the mean girl's cracks about his ears. But as he got older, the teasing became worse until finally he couldn't take it anymore. He fought back with his fists and managed to knock the ringleader to the ground, even though she was twice his size and 6 years older. The headmistress was furious that there had been a fight, especially on a viewing day, and was about to throw him out onto the streets despite the pleading of the other children. But one of the potential parents stopped her and offered to adopt him. The Cadocs had wanted to have at least one child to contine the family tradition of Huntership, but had been unable to have any of their own. Therefore, they had come to adopt one and seeing Glaucio's raw ability made them think he would be a good canidate. They officially interviewed him and liked what they heard and so they went through all the proper channels and paperwork to make him Glaucio Cadoc at the age of 7.

It was a dream come true for Glaze. His own parents, his own house, his own room. He didn't mind at all the various combat instructors who came to see what weapon would best suit him or the aura trainer who unlocked his aura and helped him figure out his semblance, he enjoyed the thought of being a Hunter like his dad. And Mr. and Mrs. Cadoc in turn enjoyed having a son to take to the fair, amaze with fairy tales and tales from the battlefield, and showed such interest and promise in becoming a Hunter. They helped him deal with the bullies from school and then had to figure out how he could best stand up to them. The biggest worry though was what weapon he would end up taking, Glaze liked the compound bow but also wanted a sword-like weapon for melee combat. Then the summer before he was to be enrolled into Signal, his dad remembered an old weapon design that he thought would work. He first made a model for Glaze to try out, which was a big success. Then he helped Glaze in combining that weapon with the bow to make Jorullo, Glaze's most treasured possessin.

The first day at Signal almost proved his last when one girl started teasing and he almost choked her with ilpia. But he stopped almost immeadiately after he had started, the girl hadn't died, he was apolegetic and promised to be more careful, so they let him stay. The rest of his time at Signal proved uneventful, mostly because Glaze did all he could to stay away from other situations like that. He was one of the top in his class and easily made it on to Beacon, where he made his best friends in his team members in team BLCK. They were some of the best and always took on the toughest assignments avalible for their grade, somehow always making it back.

Until one month before their graduation, their last assignment before being full hunters. They were sent on a search and destroy mission into one of the hottest hot spots close to Vale, something they had survived on their other missions. But only Glaze came back, broken and changed. The rest of team BLCK were therefore assumed dead, Glaze wasn't revealing what happened there. He was still allowed to graduate and become a full Hunter, but he seemed to go through the whole thing only mechanically. His parents even couldn't spark any emotion out of Glaze. All those who knew him wonder what exactly happened on that day. The team was cockey and that might be all there was to it, but they had survived missions like that there whole time at Beacon. Did something else happen to make that mission fail?

Personality: Before the incident, he was high-strung and quicktempered but also cheerful, warm, and chatty among friends, nervous yet friendly in crowds, and encouraging while skillful on the battlefield. Afterwards, he became cold and carried an aura (ignore the pun) that threatened danger to any remaining friends and people in the crowd, his anger became a slow burn with more dire consequences to those who ignited it, he spoke rarely if at all, and he became entirely professional on the battlefield. encouraging while skillful on the battlefield.

4) Weapon

Name: Jorullo (a Volcano in Mexico)

Maker/Smith: Glaucio with his father, Texotic Cadoc

Type: OBCB, Obsidian Bladed Compound Bow Weapon

Derivation: Macuahuitl, a Compound Bow, Hawkeye's Bow

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: As Form 1 in a sheath, quiver is on opposite side on belt

Form 1: This, but made of hard plastic with rectangular obsidian blades jutting out of either side

Form 2: Plastic folds out like Hawkeye's bow as blades come in to make a Compound bow, the pulleys for the string comes out on the top part (coming from the flat edge) and one is manually attached to the bottom

Features/Capabilities: (Form 2) Using the dust mechanism in quiver, he can attach dust effects to his arrows

Usage: (Form 1) Slashes and beheads like a sword but is unable to thrust, flat edge can be used to render human/faunus opponents unconscious; (Form 2) Uses dust arrows either to directly harm opponents, trap opponents, or to counter-act other's dust effects, otherwise is just used as a normal bow

5) Semblance:

Name: ilpia (Nahuatl [Aztec]=to make captive)

Type: Aural

Purpose: Utillity

Short description: Binds target with aural rope

Visual effect: His mist goes around target and coalesces into a rope-looking thing

General limitations: He has to be within range and conscious  for the rope to be active, the more rope made= more initial aura is used up, keeping up effect keeps draining aura, if he poorly binds a living target/ the target is good at escaping ropes then the ropes can still be escaped from

Active ability(main): Wraps object/person with a rope-like aura projection

Dust interaction: All dust effects will exist in the lowest state possible usually, only becoming more intense or even non-existent by how much the user uses his aura more, if put on too high of setting the rope will destroy what it is touching

(Fire= Makes rope burn object/person where rope is, rope looks like its fire),(Ice= Causes freezing where rope is, rope looks like ice),(Lighting= Usually causes rope to send low does of lighting to target, but if the target is living, is placed right and if the user manipulates it in the right amount, it can also stun the target), (Any other dust= Causes the rope to take on its properties and apply them to where its touching)

6) Combat info:

Position/Class: Ranger/Either

Landing strategy: If something tall is near by, he'll use his semblance to latch on to it. If there isn't there, he'll extend out parrallel towards the ground to slow himself down then parkour from there

Fighting style: Glaze mostly fires from the backlines, causing dust effects through his arrows and snaring enemies with his rope. In an emergency, he'll use the

Macuahuitl mode up-close while sneaking his rope to help out.

7) Statistics:

Strength: 1

Speed: 2

Aura reserve: 3

Aura manipulation: 2

Dust use: 3

Weapon Skill (Primary): 3

8) Trivia:

Relationships: Parents: They have acted like blood-family since his adoption, caring for and loving each other. But after the incident, he's even drawn distent from them.

BLCK: His team comprised of his best friends. They were all cokey, thinking maybe they would defeat every Grimn in the world after graduation. But now, it seems that all but Glaze are gone.

Notes: I've finished. I also added some aztec references and addressed SpiritedDreaming's comment.
