Welp…it’s done…I have mixed feelings about him…mostly because I had to censor a loooooooooooooooooot of stuff on the one in a million chance I might write a fic about their first year… so be harsh, tell me where stuff is to confusing and don’t hesitate to point out spelling mistakes…also let me know what you think of this format.

Nocturn Viciu
1) Basic info: 2) Appearence: 3) Characteristics: 4) Fighting style: 5) Trivia and FAQ.
 * Team/occupation: Second year student (Former Leader of team MDNT);
 * Species: Human;
 * Age: 18;
 * Sex: Male;
 * Handedness: Right;
 * Aura/Effects: Red/mist like;
 * Symbol: A red eye with a black cross coming out of the pupil that extends to the iris. The base of the cross goes outside of the eye, giving the impression that it’s crying;
 * Physical traits: Bald and extremely self conscious of the fact with pasty skin;
 * Misc traits: Almoast always wears a knit cap, even during classes.
 * Nickname(s): Noc (by Daciana when awake, in the sarcastic phrase “What’s up Noc?”, usualy when he takes leadership of the group, or when he pisses her off); Baldy (By Daciana when asleep, usualy when he takes leadership of the group, or when he pisses her off);
 * Height: 1.6 meters;
 * Weight: 60 kg;
 * Eyes: Dark brown;
 * Face: Square;
 * Hair: ...his eyebrows suggest black.
 * Physique: Endomorph;
 * Combat Outfit: Trench coat, combat boots and pants, with a black knitted cap decorated with a ring of white beads instead of a folded brim (like so minus the jewel on the forehead )
 * Casual Outfit:  White shirt covered by a black suit vest with matching pants; will wear an overcoat if it’s cold. Wears a different knit cap almost every day, mostly black with some animal symbols on; also possesses what he refers to as “specialized caps” that he uses when the situation calls for it, such as for formal events, swimming, and even sleep...although he has mostly given up on the latter now that he’s grown comfortable with his team.
 * Personality: In one word, honest…mostly due to his upbringing, which has made him practically terrified of lying. He speaks with a tone of absolute certainty, which makes it hard to argue against. That, combined with his parent’s warped sense of humor that he inherited, makes for a rather off-putting personality that masks his modest nature, as well as his fears and uncertainties, both the noticeable and  the…harder to notice ones. He has learnt to give half truths and potential truths to circumvent his...problem, but people he is close to can generally pressure the whole truth out of him.
 * Background:As the only son of 2 bitter nobles that suffered much during the Faunus Rights Revolution when they came to the defense of the faunus, Nocturns was taught from an early age to never lie, and was harshly punished when he did. Despite this, Nocturn has kept secrets from them, from how others treated him because of his looks, to how he wasn’t blessed with the best of health, partially because he was afraid they would get mad... but mostly because he was afraid they wouldn’t. Deciding to become a hunter in order to bring glory back to his family, Nocturn joined the academy in hopes of becoming a Hunter and succeeding where his parents failed, and help those who were not protected by a good reputation.
 * Position/Class: Mid range duelist (prefers fighting one opponent at a time, but can do so from a variety of ranges)
 * Landing strategy: Using his ranged abilities in order to clear a landing path.
 * Weapon: The shirker; A crossbow shaped weapon with multiple strings that can turn into a double edged sword. The strings are actually musical in nature, the weapon amplifying the sounds they emit in order to release powerful shock waves when in crossbow form, or amplify attacks when in sword form. The sound function is aura powered, allowing the user to modify the strength, length and frequency of the sound through mastery. Can also be used “normally” to fire iron spikes or dust tipped arrows at an exponentially slower rate.
 * Semblance: Transfusion; This semblance allows him to convert other people’s aura into his own, through near physical contact. Much to his dismay, he can get addicted by draining enough of someone’s aura, and has been shown to suffer withdrawal syndromes when in near proximity of such a person. As a…sort of compensation, he can sense the aura of the people he drained recently, to the point he can see the aura around a person when he closes his eyes. Is currently trying to learn to invert his semblance and transfer it to others in time of need, but he isn’t there yet.
 * Fighting style: Methodical and careful…and also a bit of a cheapskate. Will only ever use the dust arrows in emergency situations, and would much rather use the iron spikes so he can get them back later. He tryes to fight any opponent at range despite being aware he is far better at close combat. When in melee range he fights using a style of fencing that utilizes the weaponless arm for grappling in order to make the most out of his semblance.

 
 * Daciana and Nocturn : Did not get along at first. Because they served the same the role within the team, that of a swordsman that could fight at range, the two were often found trying to one up each other at just about anything. Aftera a rocky first year the two became good friends but their rivalry only got worse when Nocturn started learning sound attacks and Daciana started to emulate some of his close combat techniques. Nocturn is one of the few people that can bring Dacianas asleep side out during the day, especially during duels where the 2 abandon all sense of caution and engage in swordfights till one ends up in the infirmary, usually carried by the other one.
 * Magnolia and Nocturn . Magnolia was forced to become leader of the team after Nocturn renounced his position not one week since it was announced. Although she would only find out his reasoning during their first year, she respected his decision and tried her best to become a good leader, however due to his unhesitant and sure nature she would sometimes let him take charge when she felt she was getting too…twitchy…much to the dismay of Both Nocturn and Daciana, that happened a lot during the first year.  Nocturn semblance makes him one of the only people alive that can passively resist Magnolias semblance and is able to touch her with little to no concern for his health…as a result the atmosphere surrounding the two can best be described as…awkward…the silent kind.
 * The Shrieker is actually an updated version of his original weapon that he used in his first year, called the Stinger, that did not pose the sound capabilities and had only one string.
 * Nocturn is Nocturnal in another language, which references the…”color” Black. It stands for “that takes place during the night”
 * Viciu is vice in another language, so his name can be read as ”vice that takes place during the night”…does it mean anything? Depends on whether I ever get into writing.
 * He’s based of the vampire mythos as a whole…particularly the more forgotten ones such as the Nosferatu. He’s mostly based on the strigoi, the Romanian interpretation of the vampire.
 * The cross in his symbol a long forgotten vampire weakness.
 * His baldness and pale skin references the Nosferatu.
 * His semblance references…I don’t really need to say this right?
 * His aura looking like a mist references the strigoi, the Romanian vampire.
 * His combat outfit is based on a vampire/which hunters for irony.
 * His casual outfit is riped straight out of the 80s vampires.
 * His parents are oc’s based on Vlad the Impaler and Elizabeth Bathory, because why the fuck not. The two mostly got hooked up…well as pen pals. The two have been sending each other letters years before they even had the chance to see each other in person.
 * His weapon forms reference a vampires ability to turn into bats (crossbow) and wolves (sword) and their names reference a trait shared by the both of them, their sharp fangs (The Stinger) and their voices(The Shrieker)
 * Potentially made him a healer because I ran out of ideas.
