3) Characteristics:

Background: Rost's parents were scientists for the Schnee dust company, contracted to the Atlesian millitary. When his mother became pregnant, they moved to Vale to  get away from the war machine and raise their child in a more peaceful environment. Since his parents run a dust shop, he had a steady stream  of books and magazines to read on the subjects of hunters and weapons,  as well as plenty of customers to question incessantly. As soon as he  was old enough, he demanded his parents enroll him in combat school,  which they gladly did. It was during his first day at Beacon that he met  Lila, Grey, and Rouge, becoming fast friends with Lila and Grey,  while Rouge tended to scowl at the rest of them constantly, trying to  drag her brother away whenever she got the chance. During initiation, he  teamed up with Rouge and became a member of team RSLG. In more recent years, he has become the primary role-model and surrogate father of boy by the name of Kalte Blau, after the boys parents died on a mission which he was a part of. Personality: As much a scholar as he is a huntsman, Rost is always seeking to discover deeper secrets of aura and dust. Having always enjoyed books as much as fighting, moreso at most times, he elected to become a teacher fairly early in his career as a huntsman. Goes out of his way to help struggling students, be it with schoolwork or personal issues, he is somewhat paternal by nature, and often acts the gentlemen. Unfortunately, he has a habit of not clarifying his intentions when helping others, easily getting caught up in the moment. Likes: Dislikes:
