Another one of the orphans from Alhfer Pallas. Or rather, a former one. 1) Basic info:

2) Appearance:
 * Name: Timaeus Lutum Crofton (Timaeus 's the Lantinized word Timaios, meaning "honour". Lutum is Latin for "clay, soil, yellow" and other words. Crofton is believed to mean "town with a small enclosed field" in Old English.)
 * Team/occupation: Civilian
 * Species: Human
 * Age: possibly around 12 or 13 years old in the present day (maybe 12 before the events of Volume 1.)
 * Sex: Male
 * Handedness: Right
 * Aura/Effects: Unknown. He hasn't unlocked his Aura
 * Symbol: None.
 * Physical traits: The upper body of him is rather healthy. His lower half, however, is weaker. His legs are weaker than most other folks.
 * Misc traits: In the past, he had to rely on crutches to balance himself. After his adoption, he was given medical treatment and a sort of mechanical exo-skeleton for his legs. However, it is a prototype, and he has to make monthly trips back to his doctors for checkups.
 * Nickname(s): Tim

3) Characteristics:
 * Height: Around 4 or 5 feet at his current age(?)
 * Weight: 120 lbs?
 * Eyes: Brown
 * Face:
 * Hair: Blond
 * Physique: A healthy lad for the most part, though his legs are weaker than most folks'.
 * Combat Outfit: None.
 * Casual Outfit: Before his adoption, he wore an old olive-green shirt and worn brown pants. His shoes during that time were also brown. Since his adoption, however, he's likely to have a change in wardrobe. As of yet, however, I don't any ideas for his current clothing.

4) Combat info:
 * Personality: You could say that he's a bit laid back, I suppose. He tries to get by life each day, not really caring about what lies in the future or lingering in the past. Right now, the present day is in his mind. That's the rule of life, in his mind. He's not exactly a religious person, praying for protection from some deity. The only ones that really can protect him, in his eyes, are fellow people. As such, he's more likely to trust Hunters than he is to trust a church or religious group.
 * Background: Born from a poor family, he was the lone survivor of a disease that killed his family. When no known relatives were found, he was send to Alhfer Pallas Orphanage. He would later on be adopted by Myron and Viola Shiori.

5) Trivia:
 * Position/Class: Civilian
 * Landing strategy: None. You likely won't see him on the battlefield anytime soon.
 * Weapon: None. In his days at Alhfer Pallas Orphanage, he would use crutches to get by. Nowadays, he has a mechanical exo-skeleton for his legs.
 * Semblance: None as of yet. His Aura's still locked.
 * Fighting style: None.


 * Relationships: Kuma was one of the people at the Orphanage that helped him with his condition. She would sometimes walk alongside him, in-case he fell or needed help carrying something. He does know Kai to some degree, and he did promise to keep an eye on Alyssa for him. Since his adoption, Viola's been home-schooling him. While he does spend some time with Myron, his foster-father has been busy digging into some records lately. Alyssa hangs out with him at times, and he does watch her and Viola practice the piano (of which he likes to joke that, quote, "she can rupture the eardrums of a Grimm miles away").
 * Notes: If you haven't figured it out by now, he's inspired by Tiny Tim from A Christmas Carol. :P Joker from the Mass Effect series also had an influence on Timaeus. I already used Lutum as the basis for a name for a non-RWBY OC of mine, and I guess part of me figured that it'd also work for this one.
 * Tropes: A crippled lad, grew up in poverty. I'm sure you can find those on TVTropes somewhere. :P
