Ok, I’m a little nervous about this one since this is likely my least original oc, but at the same time I like how he ended up.

1) Basic info: 2) Appearence: 3) Characteristics: 4) Weapon 5) Semblance: 6) Combat info: 7)Stats: 8) Trivia:
 * Name: Redmond Dorado (Color in name; Redmond is an Irish version of a name that means “wise protector”);
 * Team/occupation: Hunter to be;
 * Species: Faunus (Echidna);
 * Age: 16(has not had his 17th birthday yet);
 * Sex: Male;
 * Handedness: Ambidextrous (writes with his right hand)
 * Aura/Effects: Green/Red flame;
 * Symbol: A top down octogon emerald;
 * Physical traits: Foot claws that grow pointing away from the other foot. The bigger the finger, the longer the claw( needs to use a file tool to shorten them every couple of months);
 * Misc traits: A necklace of small dust crystals conected by a metal string. The crystals are mostly earth dust and cover about one third of the string length, but he does carry some lightning dust to power up his weapon.
 * Nickname(s): Tomb raider (by a Signal…“friend”);
 * Height: 1.6 meters;
 * Weight: Varies;
 * Eyes: Blue;
 * Skin color: Brown;
 * Face: Oval shaped;
 * Hair: Red dreadlocks;
 * Physique: Endomorph with visible muscles on his arms;
 * Combat Outfit: A red sleeveless shirt that’s white around the holes with long camo pants. Wears a sleevless green vest on top of the shirt and sports tape on his hands and feet; goes around barefoot.
 * Casual Outfit: A long red shirt with long red boxing pants that have a green streak on either side. Wears the same sleeveless vest over the shirt, a white scarf to hide his dust necklaces, and walks around with a pair of green sandals.
 * Background: Born within the relative safety of Vale, Redmon spent his early years helping his father, A slightly bitter Echidna faunus that claims was the best job he would ever get, mine dust and other precious metals. He later found out from his mother that her family once used to live in a village outside this kingdom, build around ruins that contained secrets concerning humanities history before the discovery of dust; but due to the war with the Grimm, they have been forced to flee and unite in a place that over the years became known as Vale. His curiosity piqued, Redmond decided to pursue a career as a hunter in order to someday find the location of his mothers, and his by extension, old home, while spending his free time helping out his dad in exchange for some low quality dust crystals he could use if needed and the money to afford hsi future trips.
 * Personality: Has a deep respect for his parents despite how strict his father is and how out of it his mother would get while musing. Much to his dismay he is slowly inheriting those very traits, which when combined makes him thoughts rather pessimistic; he seems to get around that by working, reading and or fighting in order to keep his mind busy.
 * Likes: Historical records, Legends with a grain of truth, challenges of any kind.
 * Dislikes: Fake stories, math, thieves.
 * Name: Emerald Seekers;
 * Maker/Smith: Himself;
 * Type: Multipurpose mining and digging gauntlets;
 * Weapon Derivation: Knuckles the Echidnas...knuckles from the Sonic series;
 * Holstered Appearance: Metalic emerald colored handguards with 2 holes near the knuckles;
 * Unholstered Appearance: The holes closest to the thumb fingers have retractable drills, while the other two have retractable jackhammers; they can be used to punch through stone, grimm plate, armor and french bread;
 * Usage: Mostly kept in holstered appearance and used as boxing gloves, if he finds something he can’t punch through, he activate his gloves to rectify the problem with devastating results; If, however, he’s exploring anything remotely resembling a mine, ruins, caves…or really anything that potentially houses ancient artifacts or dust, the weapons have the tools permanently active, resembling metallic knuckles.
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: The drill piece will be hollowed out in order to add a fire dust powered blowtorch that offers easy access to a source for fire spells;
 * Notes: It was originally made of digging tools, 2 drills and 2 jackhammers to be precise.
 * Name:Mass;
 * Type: Glyph;
 * Purpose: Utility;
 * Short description: A semblance that allows the placement of glyphs on a solid surface that alters it's weight;
 * Visual effect: The glyph is made of a stylized circle and a polygon with variable lines. If the polygon is inside the circle, it removes weight; If it’s outside it adds weight.
 * General limitations: Glyph can only be placed on a surface that comes in contact with your aura. In addition, glyphs can be broken if the glyph is scratched and their effects decays over time if they aren't replenished with aura.
 * Passive ability:  Aura projection affinity;
 * Active ability(1): Place a glyph that decrease a users weight in order to allow a them to jump higher and maneuver more easily at the cost of being more susceptible to being blown away. You cannot weight less than 0, as the semblance alters weight; it does not remove nor invert it.
 * Active ability(2): Place a glyph that increases a users weight in order to stand their ground better and make it harder for an opponent to knock them off balance. Be warned that this also impairs your movement and making yourself too heavy will have you kiss the floor anyway.
 * Active ability(3): Add weight to an object, such as the users weapon of choice in order to give more oomph in their strikes and turn downward attacks from a nuicence to a glorified guillotine.
 * Position/Class: Brawler;
 * Landing strategy: Reduce his weight to slow his velocity;
 * Fighting style: Unrefined but effective. Fights almost exclusively with his fists, using his feet or head only when trying not to hurt his opponents too bad. He uses his semblance both to close distance and to not be knocked off balance. He’s generally easy to read and dodge, however when met with opponents that don’t stand still he starts to reveal he’s not as simple as his fighting style would suggest. He has used earth dust to knock faster opponents off balance and placed glyphs on them in order to slow them down to his level.
