So I may have discovered the hard way that it is incredibly difficult to combine eastern supernatural fiction, with "classical" literature, an animated show, and my own musings. I apologize in advance for how scatterbrained part of my brain decided to be while writing this. Not my best work, but whatever. I have a 3 hour test to take tomorrow, and probably won’t be able to post this any later. This is my first, and only, submission / edit. here we go...

1)Basic info 2)Appearance 3)Characteristics Marmo Rosso.  The son of a gangster in Vacuo, he was taken captive at the age of three after a rival gang killed his father and family.  He was then raised and tortured into being a “gladiator” for the enjoyment of the gangs.  From the time he was old enough to fight, he was taught to kill whatever grimm, or occasional person, was across from him. His aura was unlocked (to make the fights last longer) as early as possible by his handler: a cruel, sadistic man that loved to beat and torture little Marmo. Due to the harsh treatment and torture, by the time he was 15 he was almost completely insane. (We aren’t going to go into this part of his life, since it consisted entirely of combat training, gladiator matches, and torture.)  Though he was definitely unstable, he had never lost a fight, as they were always to the death, and he was still alive. One day however, the government located the gangsters, and raided the arena right as Marmo was being locked back up. When the gangsters and other spectators were all either killed or captured, they saw Marmo as simply a victim, since he was locked up with visible signs of torture. It wasn’t until they questioned him that they found out the truth. They felt sorry for him, and took care of him (kinda), while also sending him into the system since he was an orphan (And tried to get him a shrink). Due to the lack of career options and any other form of experience, he joined a combat school as soon as possible.

(because it looks cooler than normal marble.  Also the main character in “The Psyche” was a sculptor)

He never really had many friends, nor was he that good at making them. He was “The freak”. Throughout these next two years of his life however, he slowly learned to fit into society and his mental state improved drastically. He discovered he was an exceptional artist, and soon dedicated all of his free time to the study of art. Through his art he managed to make a few friends with similar interests and outlooks on life; although, his art was usually rather grim(m) (literally sometimes). He was a good drawer and painter, but his real talent was in sculpture. He was already good with his hands from all the fighting he had done with the weapons given to him from his time as a gladiator (discussed later). He loved manipulating the materials at his disposal to make an image or symbol. Despite his newfound love of artistic creation, he still enjoyed the thrill of the fight. There was no rush like it. The feeling of another life to destroy or spare as you please… He loved killing. He was literally raised to do it. It was more than fun. It was an art of sorts. He killed any grimm he ever came across, often going into the wild simply to find them, until it was no longer fun. By the time he had graduated and went to the main university, him and three of his friends went on to form team AART (“art”  he is the “R”/ Rosso)

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:8pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Now while all of his team had some skill in art, Rosso’s semblance made it easier for him in particular (also explained later). Throughout the four years they spent at Shade academy, AART had a tendency to be overly sadistic, and usually “play” with their prey before they were done with it. They all had their problems, and none of them were very good people. They were bullies. Now that Rosso was no longer undergoing active treatment for his mental conditions, he went off the deep end again. It was no longer any fun to simply kill grimm. He had to tear them apart slowly, piece by piece. Humans were not excluded from his targets either. They provided more of the challenge that Marmo sought. And occasionally, people would ask for favors. Less than savory favors. Marmo Rosso was paid to “fix” problems for people, as long as that problem was a person. Him and his team were feared by the rest of the school, even the senior classmen. They were mad, they knew they were mad, and they reveled in the fact. They graduated without being punished (much), due to lack of evidence proving that team AART had <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">actually <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> done anything.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:8pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Now, the problem with being a psychopath is that it’s not always easy. The people, and the grimm that Marmo killed; he remembered all of them. Their faces and personalities were burned into his memory. Try as he might, he couldn’t get them out of his head. He would scream at them “Begone! Get away from me!” But they never listened. He went away for a short while after he graduated from Shade, and disappeared for about a year or so to try and clear his head, and rid himself of his grief. In the end though, he met up with Angelo, his old team leader, in Vale who again started him down the wrong path. He jreoined with his old team in Vacuo as “huntsmen and huntress looking for work, regardless of task. Expertise lie in elimination of problematic lifeforms.”  Nobody wanted to simply say that they were killers for hire, so they didn’t directly say it, but their clients knew (Obvious advertisement is obvious).

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:8pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The point I am trying to make (in these past 2-3 paragraphs) is that Marmo and his team were MESSED UP. in fact, you could probably ignore the paragraphs and just go with “They were a few rounds short of a full clip” (but you'd probably miss a small detail here or there). They stayed killers for hire, and occasionally made actual art and sold it anonymously for extra profit. Marmo often ran off to weird/ random locations in the world to think, create, and kill whatever he came across. This also helped him get away from law enforcement that doesn’t take kindly to murderers walking down the street (ie.  all of them).

He would also use his semblance to recreate it, and get it out of his head. He would draw, sculpt, paint, whatever he had on hand. He recreated it to make it permanent, then took a new “picture” to replace it. His best piece of art was a depiction of a woman he accidentally captured in one of his moments. He became infatuated with their aura (since he could read it in the immage), their identity, and them as a person. He recreated what the image showed him, and left it in the middle of a courtyard in town with a note that read “My beautiful Psyche”. And it was indeed beautiful. A masterpiece. It was given to a local art museum since the owner could not be identified or located. Nobody has since been able to identify the woman or artist. It is valued to be nearly priceless due to the perfection of it, and the intrigue and mystery that surrounds it.*

 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Name <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">: None.  Why name the tools when the real weapon wields it?
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Wielder <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">:  Marmo Rosso

(old gang member)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Type: chisel-knife shirt and hammer.  CKSH? (not very accurate)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Weapon Derivation: Juuzou Suzuya’s coat/shirt from Tokyo Ghoul.  I just gave them to a different character, and added a hammer.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Design: Black, straight handle that tapers out a bit at the end.  The blade is a double bevel on each side, the entire knife is the blade, meaning that there is no spine or non-beveled space on the blade.  Like this <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> (also, this the outfit.  I put a different person into Juuzou’s clothes, and mixed their minds.)  The hammer is a wide, tapered cylinder, attached to the handle.  Used for bashing. (and possibly sending the knives flying at the opponent)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Holstered/Inactive Form: like a normal, everyday button up shirt. (knives are inside), the hammer lies in the hammer loop in his pants.(where else?)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Form 1:  The only forms.  Sharp, and blunt.   Really simple weapons.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Features: surprisingly effective throwing weapons as well. (both)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Dust Capacity: Can be used with various dusts to give the blade a desired effect.  There is a little well at the base of the blade (see picture.) to hold the dust.  The hammer tends to explode into whatever dust type is inserted into the hollow handle.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Usage:  He uses them to slash, hack, n’ smack at his opponent, while occasionally throwing them.  Very simple to understand, but simple and easy aren’t the same thing when it comes to using them.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Planned/Possible Upgrades:  none.  He doesn’t have time to worry about something like that when he could be doing something better.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Notes: I have discovered through personal experience that fighting with knives takes a lot of agility, speed, precision, and awareness.  More so than fighting with a sword.  The closer they are, the less time you have to think or react.  Same with the small hammer. (It's suprisingly hard for normal, non-fictional, untrained people like myself. Imagine that.)

 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Activation cue: His eyes flash white temporarily
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Range: As far as he can see (though not always clear)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">General limitations: He can only hold five images in his head at a time.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Passive ability: he has a nearly photographic memory (whether he wants it or not), and often has visual hallucinations.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Active ability: Tier One-recreated images are fuzzy in the distance, can hold two images.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Active ability: Tier Two-can hold up to five images

 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Dust interaction: he can sense the use of or interaction with whatever dust types were used in that moment he is displaying.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Notes: He is at tier 3 with his semblance due to the ammount of practice he has had. This is a very strange semblance, and very “soul-reader-y”, but hey, art is in the eye of the beholder.(hence the name)  But yeah, it’s very obscure, which i think fits him, even if it loses me a few points for being total BS ridiculous.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Class/Position:  Recon (his semblance is very helpful in this area) / scout, while also being adept at head to head combat. He fights wherever he wants to (but is weaker against multiple opponents.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Landing strategy:  see what happens while he’s up there and figure something out on the fly (hehe.  literally)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.8857142857142857;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Fighting Style:  Hack n slash at whatever he sees.  The opponent is supposed to wear down and bleed to death before he does.  He has no strategy, but is incredibly fast and agile.  He dodges very well, but doesn’t give a crap about pain, so he isn’t afraid to take it if he has to.  If he heals, he heals, and if he doesn’t then he’s dead.  It doesn’t matter to him.   <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">c'est la vie.

Good luck to whoever wins though.

Got carried away.
