3) Characteristics

Background: Colby is the son of a well-known hunter from Vale who disappeared on a mission against the Grimm with the rest of his team and was presumed dead. Colby's father's death lead the boy to devote his life to honoring his father's legacy by becoming the best hunter in Remnant. As a child, he would often pick fights with other children to prove that he was the best, but unlike most bullies he would only fight those that he believed would pose a challenge to him. Like most Beacon students, he trained at Signal Academy and was admitted to Beacon after graduation. At Beacon, he became the leader of Team COAL and continued to search for worthy opponents. After the fall of Beacon, he and his team travelled to Vacuo to rescue some Beacon students who were captured by the White Fang and imprisoned in their base nearby.

Personality: Colby is arrogant and competitive, but cares deeply for his friends. He wants to honor his father's legacy, but his desire is driven by deep-seated insecurities, feelings of inadequacy, and fears of what will happen if he fails to protect his country and his family. He has a strong sense of pride and honor and will do whatever it takes to succeed, but gradually comes to accept that protecting the innocent is more important than winning or gaining fame. He can appear to be rude and abrasive on the surface, but actually cares a lot about those around him.

Misc Traits: Sarcastic, taunts his opponents

Likes: Winning, hanging out with friends, worthy opponents

Dislikes: Losing, liars, unworthy opponents

4) Trivia

Notable Relationships:

Mother: Colby's relationship with his mother is very strained because she disapproves of his desire to become a hunter, fearing that he will suffer the same fate as his father. He is annoyed at her disapproval, but still loves her very much.

Father: Colby idolizes his father, seeing him as a mighty hunter who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect his kingdom. Because of this, Colby wishes to honor him by becoming the best hunter in all of Remnant. As Colby learns to value protecting others over fame, he starts to develop his own identity.

Hunter Extension

A) Weapons

Names: Beastslayer and Vanquisher

Classification: Dust-Enhanced Pistol Swords (DEPS) (dual-wielded)

Short Description: Two swords, which can transform into pistols that can fire regular or dust-infused bullets. The swords can also be combined to form a double-bladed weapon.

B) Semblance

Name: Short-Distance Teleportation

Activation Cue: pillar of light will appear in a certain area on the ground

Short Description: Allows Colby to teleport up to a hundred feet in any direction. He teleports at a rate of one second per ten feet, so it would take him ten second to travel his maximum distance of a hundred feet.

C) Combat Info

Preferred Range: Close

Landing Strategy: Will use his swords to catch ahold of objects such as tree branches to slow his fall. If no such objects are nearby, he will use his semblance to teleport to the ground when he is within distance.

Fighting Style: Will use his fast manueverability and semblance to travel close to his opponents and attack them. When he is on the defensive, he will combine his swords to create a double-bladed staff-like weapon. He is a "glass cannon," meaning that he can deal a lot of damage but will go down in fewer hits than most other hunters.
