 * Casual outfit: White muscle shirt and black cargo pants under his haori. Left shoulder of haori is worn, though his arm does not sit in the sleeve.
 * Gadgets (if any): Smart watch connected to his scroll that displays text messages and allows him to reply, though does not take calls or images.
 * Background: Born as the only child of a middle class family in Atlas, Tafit’s upbringing was pretty relaxed and stress free. He decided early on that he wanted to not only be a Huntsman, but to be a Specialist as well, and perhaps even one day the General of the Atlas Military. He applied himself to combat school diligently, focusing on mastering the basics of sword fighting before he moved on to more complex skills and integrating a rifle into his repertoire. He entered Atlas Academy with high marks and was assigned as the leader of Team TRQS.
 * His team entered the Vytal festival both times it came around, and Tafit himself made it all the way to the singles rounds in his fourth year, though he was defeated. After graduating Atlas, he enrolled himself in the Military almost immediately as a Specialist and climbed his way up the ranks as fast as he was able to.
 * At the age of 23 and with the rank of Lieutenant, he was assigned as the leader of a rescue operation to relieve an outlying town from a Grimm attack with a squad of soldiers and another Specialist under his command. Intel said the attacking group of Grimm was fairly small and he planned accordingly, utilising tried and true strategies that had never failed him before.
 * The intel was, however, wrong; circumstances had changed between the request for help and the deployment of Tafit and his men and more Grimm had arrived, including a few more powerful types and airborne Grimm. Tafit did his best to accommodate the changes, splitting his men between the groups of Grimm as best he could.
 * Things were going alright for Tafit and his men, though they were being pushed back slightly. His second in command, a man named Albus Molter, tried to get Tafit to change plans and try something else, but pride and ego made Tafit bristle at being questioned. He refused, stubbornly sticking to his original plan.
 * Not long after, Tafit was taken out of the battle. He had used his semblance to pull a group of smaller Beowolves off balance and towards himself but was caught unawares by a Nevermore that attacked from behind. His semblance pulled the feathers in quicker than average which dropped his aura, as well as distracting him from the Beowolves and opening a weakness for them to take advantage of. He was seriously injured as the Beowolves took out the rest of his aura and damaged his left shoulder, though Albus came to his rescue and ensured the escape of both from the attack.
 * Albus took control then, calling for the regroup of the soldiers and relegating Tafit to the back line with his plasma rifle due to the damage he had taken, and through the use of more unconventional tactics saved the day. Tafit begrudgingly let him take control for the rest of the mission, and disappeared to medical to nurse his wounds as soon as the report was finished back at Atlas.
 * The damage wasn’t severe enough to warrant replacing the entire shoulder, and Tafit was soon assigned to desk jobs and diplomatic missions that required no fighting or strenuous activities. He spent his recovery time and quite a while beyond learning to rely on his right hand instead, and had gravity dust imbued in his weapon to make up for not being able to use his left side properly. Once he felt he was fit for more active missions he applied to be put back on the active roster again, only to be deferred or hand waved aside in favour of younger Specialists . He also started listening to the rumours around the Military and heard how some of the soldiers who had been on the mission with himself and Albus had taken to talking about how Tafit would have led them all to their deaths if it weren’t for the younger man.
 * Tafit put up with these rumours, ignoring those he could and correcting those who tried anything to the truth of the events - he had been injured on the field and Albus had called a tactical retreat after the group had almost lost one of their heavy hitters. Albus tried to mitigate the rumours as well, speaking against them wherever he could to Tafit’s begrudging thanks. He endured 6 years of this, applying for missions and trying to earn promotions only to be passed over or rebuffed every time. The final straw for Tafit was when Albus was promoted to the rank of Major at the age of 28, which was a very young age for such a rank.
 * His pride couldn’t take it anymore, and Tafit decided he wanted nothing more to do with the Atlas Military despite it having been his dream since he was young. He handed in his resignation, citing medical reasons for his discharge, and left the regulated ranks behind.
 * Tafit spent a year simply travelling, using the money he’d saved up but never really spent as a member of the military to pay for his needs, though it ran out quickly with all Kingdom hopping he did. Despite getting a pension for being a retired member of the military, if he wanted to keep up his new lifestyle he had to earn money, and he started taking freelance missions from the Huntsmen Mission boards. He has been doing odd jobs all over the world for the last few years, keeping to himself.
 * Personality: Perfectionist, by the book and ambitious. Prideful and doesn’t like having his actions questioned. Prefers to use simple but effective methods, and keeps to himself more out of a general disgruntlement at the world than an actual desire to be left alone. When in conversation, he speaks plainly and bluntly, and uses snark to great effect. A bit self-absorbed.
 * Likes: cloudberries, watching the sunrise, well made objects and good workmanship
 * Dislikes: sloppy workmanship or shoddily made objects, lemon flavour, being ignored or dismissed because of his arm
 * Notable relationships:
 * Albus Molter (White, Norwegian name for cloudberries) - Second in command during the rescue mission, disgruntled at the fact that he owes him his life and resentful of the good fortune that was heaped on Albus afterwards while he was left behind. Sometimes exchanges text messages with him, as Albus is simply too friendly to not try to reach out to Tafit.
 * TRQS: Ravi Hartz (Sun, Bear), Qara Joneson (Black, Son of John), Saffron Moser (Yellow spice, Moss) - they got along fairly well, though they didn’t become all that close. They each went their own way upon graduation, with Ravi and Saffron also joining the military and Qara leaving to travel the world. He sometimes sat down to eat with Ravi and Saffron during his days off before he resigned.
 * Family: Acacia (pink flowers) and Leon (Lion) Morester, Parents - are still living, loves them both but doesn’t particularly think about them all that often. They supported him in his decision to become a Huntsman and work towards becoming General of the military and encouraged him to think about settling down and having a family after his injury. He hasn’t really spoken to them since he quit.
 * Notes:
 * Character Basis: Lucifer,.
 * Name: One of Lucifer’s names is ‘Morning star’, which is also the name giving to the planet Venus when it is is visible in the dawn light. Venus is purple.
 * Background: Major part of background references the war in heaven, where Lucifer wanted to control the humans and force them to follow God’s plan and make sure they all get into heaven, and how he left (or was cast out after a war in some versions) when God decided to use Jesus’s plan of allowing humanity to choose for themselves. Tafit is Lucifer and Albus is Jesus in this scenario.
 * Semblance and it’s role in his backstory is based on Lucifer’s ability to sweet talk people and draw them in, which usually ends badly for the person. His left hand is the dominant hand and the one which was injured because of the old superstition that the left hand was the hand of the Devil, which is another title for Lucifer.

 * Name: Centrifugal
 * User(s): Tafit Morester
 * Type: Aural
 * Purpose: Utility
 * Short description: User can push or pull things away from a certain point with a gravitional effect
 * Activation cue: Glowing light reddish-purple ball of aura appears, sometimes pulses or wisps of aura escape only to be pulled back in. If used as personal range, user’s body gains the effect as an outline.
 * Range: Personal/Medium
 * General limitations: User is stationary when semblance is in use, effects can be resisted by anchoring to the ground or a nonmoving object or becoming extremely heavy. Can only affect objects weighing up to 100kg. Range limit of 50m radius. Cannot choose what to affect; it simply affects everything within range and under the required weight, meaning weapons and ammunition will be attracted to the user as well. Objects that reach the centre are stationary, but other objects
 * Passive ability: User and objects or people held by the user is not affected by the push or pull of their own semblance.
 * Active ability: Tier One: User can pull objects or people in a spiralling motion centred on themself. When used midair, user is suspended due to gravitational effect but has a higher aura drain. Objects or people closer to the centre of area of effect feel the force more strongly.
 * Active Ability: Tier Two: User can push objects or people away in a spiralling motion centred on themself.
 * Active ability: Tier Three: User can either push or pull objects or people from a specified location in a spiralling motion.
 * Dust interaction (Gravity): Effect is stronger and can affect objects up to 200kg.
 * Class/Position: Swordsman, Fighter
 * Landing strategy: Use his semblance to halt his fall and survey the surroundings, then use the gravity dust in his sword to slow his fall and land safely.
 * Fighting Style: Slow but powerful sword strikes, using the thick blade as a shield. Straight cut and to the point, relying on mastery of the basics over fancy techniques. Switches between forms as necessary for combat, or splits the sword to create plasma waves when swinging the sword. Uses gravity dust to make the sword lighter to wield but put more weight behind a strike.
 * Uses his semblance to disrupt people’s footing and draw them closer to him or push them away with force.
 * Left arm is physically weaker and the shoulder joint has lingering damage that harms him if overused. Creates steady aura drain until he rests and allows it to recover, so he doesn’t use his left arm much; only using both hands when absolutely necessary.
