4)Trivia
 * Background:
 *  Born in a family who lived nearby to Atlas Academy, Gwyn had been obsessed with from a young age, often taking several fighting lessons and excelling in his combat school studies and, eventually, his performance as a huntsman in training.
 *  During Atlas’ initiation, crashed alone, but had the time of his life, eventually encountering his partner Finnegan and future team, FLAG. During his stay at Atlas, got along decently with his team, but at one point clashed with Altan due to their differing personalities.
 *  In their second year, FLAG participated in the 39th Vytal Festival Tournament, with teammate Lin Isolda losing in the singles. During the tournament, he met Yuri Yamashita of Team YURI from Vacuo, who saved him from drowning after she knocked him into the water during the team match.
 *  In their 4th year, they participated in the 40th Vytal Festival Tournament, with him and Altan losing against Nora and Pyrrha of Team JNPR (non-canon). While watching with other Atlas teams, they witnessed the dismemberment of Penny Polendina and the following threat and FLAG scrambled to deal with the Grimm. FLAG fought them off but the Atlas robotic personnel suffered the virus and turned on the team. After the fight, an explosion knocked Gwyn into the harbor, causing him to nearly drown if his team didn't pull him out. After the near death experience, he had a crisis of confidence not helped by news of the deaths of some competitors who advanced further in the tournament.
 *  After graduation, he pitched his armor and left to meander the world looking for a good fight to sort himself out. Along the way, he encountered Yuri again, who began to follow him to help him with his problems.
 * Personality:  While intimidating at first glance due to his armor, Gwyn immediately outs himself as laid back and practically goofy. He is single minded in his love of fighting and values it above all, as well as loving the spirit of competition. However, Gwyn is deceptively apathetic, to a rather disgusting degree at times (during initiation, they came across the body of an initiate, with Gwyn’s strongest reaction being finding it peculiar, not even thinking to bury her). While an excellent troubleshooter against the Grimm, he fails to see the stakes beyond his fight, nor the suffering of people around him as he does. People's reactions to this have not gone unnoticed, however, and he at times feels insecure about people thinking ill of him. Gwyn is unconcerned with excellence or ambition, thus being a follower rather than a leader.
 * Misc Traits: (a verbal tick or personality quirk)
 * Likes: Enjoys food to a worrying extent (with teammates questioning the effect it would have on his skills). Gwyn loves fighting and being in combat, often to the detriment of those who know him.
 * Dislikes: Being denied a kill or when ordered to wrap up a fight by Finnegan. He's also begun worrying about being seen as a heartless monster by his teammates.

Hunter Extension
 * Notable Relationships:
 * Finnegan Cortez: His team leader, Finnegan has been a supportive person to Gwyn, helping him deal with his fears of alienating his team.
 * Altan Verdun: His other teammate, the two get along fine. However in one incidence in their first year they fought each other due to their differences (with Altan being more hot blooded and compassionate and Gwyn being more laid back and nonchalant), ending with them both receiving detention after fighting until their auras broke.
 * Yuri Yamashita: The leader of Team YURI and an opponent in the 39th Vytal Festival Tournament. Yuri was fond of sending flirtatious taunts Gwyn’s way during their fight, which uncharacteristically caused Gwyn to be nervous and stutter. Yuri knocked him into a pool of water he couldn't get out of, almost drowning him, but Yuri ended up saving him when she learned what she did, later sending a bouquet of lilies to him with a note attached “sorry.” Later after both had graduated, Yuri encountered Gwyn in the wild alone and elected to follow him and help him.
 * Skills: Excels in weights, particularly in load bearing exercises. Occasionally plays video games with the rest of the team.
 * Allusion: Gwyn, much like myself (as evidenced by my sad attempt at an entry XD), personifies sloth, but in a subtle way than usual. While he is somewhat lax and carefree, he is also morally lazy, finding it difficult to be asked about or notice people's problems or otherwise oblivious to suffering so long as the Grimm or whatever threat he's fighting is defeated, and is confused when people object to this.
 * Notes: First OC posted ever. Slightly edited for this Competition. Hasn't been posted at any point recently.

Weapon

B)Semblance
 * Name: Dome Wall (Dome being Middle English for Doom)
 * Wielder: Gwyn Marshall
 * Maker/Smith: Gwyn Marshall (probably with some help).
 * Classification: Tactical Multi-Form Longsword and Shield (TMLS)
 * Weapon Derivation: Broad sword and bastard (long)sword from Dark Souls, as well as a medieval kite shield.
 * Form 1 Design: Broad Sword and Kite Shield combination.
 * Form 1 Aesthetics: Black Kite shield with a long white cross emblazoned on it. A triangular looking broad sword similar to Dark Souls, but with a larger handle and blade is segmented so it can grow into the bastard sword.
 * Form 2: The broadsword extends into a bastard sword, giving longer reach and attack power but being slower.
 * Form 2 Aesthetics: Blade extends and crossguards protrude out slightly.
 * Form 3: Bastard sword is slammed onto the kite shield, causing the shield to mechanically fold onto the sword, creating a chainsaw sword.
 * Form 3 Aesthetics: Appears as a more angular version of the Warhammer 40k Chainsword, with the metal borders of the shield becoming the teeth.
 * Dust Usage: Effectively limited to scraping Dust onto the blade to use its effects.
 * Notes: The chainsaw sword is often used the same way Gwyn from Dark Souls uses his sword, if it's not used as a chansword from 40k.

C)Combat Info
 * Name: Colossus Stride
 * User: Gwyn Marshall
 * Introduction: Uses Aura to project and control a giant construct of himself.
 * Description: Gwyn uses his aura to effectively "pilot" a giant (2 story?) aural version of himself, his physical body being in the chest.
 * Range: Personal
 * Type: Conjuration
 * Purpose: Utility
 * Visual Cue: Drops down in pain and pulsates a white glow.
 * Tier 1: 2 story tall construct. Hasn't gone past tier 1, but could potentially be larger.
 * General Limitations: Can't be disturbed when inside the construct, where he'd lose concentration despite his best efforts and his armor, causing the construct to fail and for him to fall down to the ground.
 * Applications: Can be used to clear large debris from a path or hold a larger Grimm in place.
 * Notes: Based somewhat upon the Iron Golem from Dark Souls.
 * Reflection of Character: Somewhat ties into his love of fighting, being just another way to clobber Grimm. His lack of development into his Semblance also reflects his lax and lazy demeanor.


 * Preferred Range: Close.
 * Landing Strategy: Readied his shield and braced for impact (lost 35% of his Aura, not that he minded).
 * Fighting Style: Head on tank fighter, being the primary muscle power for the team.
