 * Name:Argento Caden
 * Team/occupation:Student, team VLCN
 * Position/Class: Ranged striker/assassin(ranged specialty)
 * Species:Human
 * Traits: moderate Osteogenesis imperfecta (it occured to me that osteoporosis was not the condition i thought it was, so i am correcting the condition here)
 * Other:  none
 * Age:18
 * Sex:Male
 * Handedness:Right
 * Height:5'9"
 * Weight:170lbs
 * Eyes:Teal
 * Hair:Silver with dark blonde streaks. medium length, messy
 * Physique:Fairly thin, due to his condition physical training is difficult so he has relied entirely on his exoskeleton for strength. However, He maintains a basic regimen to prevent atrophy and buildup of excessive fat.
 * Combat Outfit:Long black hooded cloak over a loose  grey long sleeve shirt and dark blue overalls
 * Casual Outfit:Beacon academy uniform
 * Personality:Ever the optimist, Argento is loudmouthed, persistent and outgoing. To describe him in a word, unstoppable; even when he breaks bones during practice he keeps going, refusing to let anything stop him from acieving his dream of being a hunter. In addition to being excessively persistent, Argento is the smartest member of his team.
 * Landing strategy:Lock Fictus Corpus into impact mode (moves his body into the fetal position and deploys a force bubble to augment the shock absorbing armor plates and prevent breaking of bones)
 * Aura/Effects:Silvery blue
 * Semblance: Potestas, Argento's voice acts as a rallying cry, lifting the spirits of his allies and inducing fear or panic in his enemies. The effective range of his semblance is roughly 25' and works in a fashion similar to post-hypnotic suggestion, with the effects induced determined by his own ability to plant ideas through speech and use of key phrases
 * The strength of negative effects is determined by a measure of his own persuasive ability versus his opponents force of will (DnD terms, CHA vs Will) while positive effects are empowered by the trust of those who hear them (CHA vs passive insight)
 * Weapon: Fictus Corpus, a millitary grade exoskeleton of Argento's own design, Fictus Corpus is equipped with a monitor for his vital signs(including an aura meter) automated injectors for pain medicine, a magnetic sheath for his primary weapon Ballistarium, and shock absorbing armor plates to protect him if he falls or is knocked backwards.
 * Ballistarium, a Rail Rifle Great-Sword. The primary form of Ballistarium is that of a rail gun, measuring 4' long and loaded with 6-shot revolving magazines. each magazine holds shells loaded different types of dust ( Fire, Earth, Lightning, Wind, Ice, and high explosive) shells measure 3"x1". shells are loaded into the chamber by sliding backwards out of the magazine into the cradle, then moving upwards and connecting to the firing rail. When converting to sword mode, the upper half of the firing rail moved down and forward, sealing the barrell and chamber while narrowing the weapons profile considerably. next, the magazine rotates and folds into a slot in the stock and a handle eextends from the end of the stock. finally, the scope retracts into the body of the weapon while the panels on the sides of the firing rail slide upwards and lock into position as the blade.
 * Fighting style: Find a good perch and allow his teammates to draw high-priority targets into his lne of sight. use of his semblance allows him to quiet his mind and eliminate all negative emotion, rendering him nearly invisible to creatures of Grimm.
 * Symbol: two equilateral triangles, aligned with the bases pointing down and the upper triangle overlapping with the top of the lower triangle. (one of the alchemical symbols for silver)
 * Background:  Having grown up with a severe disability, Argento quickly grew tired of living in fear of broken bones. Being naturally quite intelligent, he convinced his parents to let him get work for his fathers computer store in atlas, where he worked from the ages of 10 to 13 constantly saving his pay and the allowance his parents gave him until he was able to afford a medical grade exoskeleton. after acquiring the suit, he told his parents he wanted to enroll at sanctuary. His mother, though reluctant, agreed, and he enrolled when he was 14. when he turned 17, he moved to vale to get away from his parents and enroll at beacon, where he met Alivia, Gauthak, and Naeva. during his time at beacon, he gained access to one of the schools weapon workshops for the purpose of building a more combat capable exoskeleton, resulting in Fictus Corpus, while Ballistarium was a gift from his parents when they learned he had been accepted to beacon.
 * Notes: Argento would have technically been the leader of team VLCN due to is superior tactical ense as compared to Gauthak, however due to the leg he broke while landing, he was unable to take the initiative during his teams fight against a giant boarbatusk and as a result was not assigned the leader position.
