Characteristics:

Background: Hal was born into a large family of boys, which only continued to grow after Hal had been born, ending up the middle child of 5 kids, which had led to a lively, if slightly damaged house, trouble always an easy distraction to find if Hal and various brothers put their minds to it. The then young boxer had been raised vying with the other children for the spotlight in the house, each one of them trying to excel at something to show to their parents, though rarely did such attempts go beyond sibling rivalry, creating a sense of confidence need to continue the childhood games for attention, and soon led to Hal finding early on that hitting things was a rather fun activity, and luckily, it turned out Hal had a natural talent, the rambunctious child's antics having caught the eye of more than a few trainers.

Hal had rose through the heavyweight youth brackets with ease during the boxers first few years, finding few challenges in the ring after the first few matches. Soon enough the rookie boxer was getting a multitude of offers for sponsorships to make the jump to professional circuit, with visions of championship matches in the future. However, Hal had already grown bored of fighting people in the ring, the medics and ring and rules detracting from the rush that had fueled the powerhouse early on, and it'd been too long since anly real type of challenge had gotten Hal's blood pumping. This had all changed the day Hal had seen a rogue Grimm run through the streets of the city, pursuing hunters chasing the Boarbatusk doggedly. Hal had watched the creature blaze down the street in a path of destruction, the body of the creature seeming to be pure muscle, those red, glowing eyes offering only the certainty of kill or be killed. The hunters took the beast down quickly enough, hardly any civilians, but the creature had struck a chord with the apathetic creature. There had been the feeling Hal had felt the first match, that uncertainty of who would walk away and who would be left lying on the ground. The adrenaline rush had left the boxer positively giddy, and it didn't take long for Hal to make the transfer to Signal, beginning the trip that would lead the heavyweight bruiser to Beacon.

Personality: Largely competitive, shameless flirt, single minded in goals.

Hal sees almost everything as a competition, and all are to be won. From sparring to Grimm kill counts. While Hal might momentarily be put off by a loss, but rarely will the boxer hold a grudge if it was a fair loss. Hal is highly confident, and hardly ever shies away from from any challenges. This trait is one that has led Hal to be a bit of an incorrigible flirt, occasionally doing so for the challenge of getting another's attention, but more often than not simply for fun. Has a habit of trying to keep the attention of whatever target Hal's team is fighting, though whether it's to protect the team or simply trying to increase the boxer's "score" is anyone's geuss.

Likes: training, sparring, flirting, and muscle mass drinks, dancing, parties.

Dislikes: stealth, waiting, roundabout talking.

4) Weapon

Name: Rumble

Maker/Smith: (One of her brothers,works in R&D, think of name later)

Type: High Impact Mechanized Gauntlets (HIMG)

Weapon Derivation: metal cestus, pneumatic fist and riot shotgun

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Highly mechanized gauntlets, full articulation allowing a full range of motion, although fine motor movements such as playing an instrument would be rather difficult.

Form 1: When in use, the Gauntlets expand to 3 times their holstered form, an internal link system allows it to mimic the user's movements while in combat form. A barrel on each of the knuckles fires either regular shotgun shells, or compatible dust loads. These can be fired by applying a specific amount of pressure after making a fist. Shock absorbers in the frame spread the impacts from these weapons. They are highly inaccurate at anything other than extreme close range, and have just as much chance of hitting a teammate in front as the target they are aimed at, so usually only fires the barrels after making contact, or if no friendly targets are in front of the weapons. A modified drum magazine wraps around each wrist, holding the shotgun rounds for the gauntlets. At times will use the blasts to propel the user through the battle field.

5) Semblance:

Name: Terrakinesis

Type: Elemental

General description: Control over natural rocks and dirt, most earth materials

General limitations: Due to Hal's focus on more martial aspects of fighting, the boxer's control over the semblance is pretty basic for any earth Hal doesn't maintain contact with.

Visual effect:Dust devils start to swarm near Hal.

Passive ability(x): An ability to sense earth in a 150 ft radius.

Active ability(x): Can raise pillars and walls of earth, as well cover portions of the users body to increase the users defensive capabilities.With the use of earth Dust, more complicated acts can be preformed, or similar acts as normal can be done on a greater scale, in proportion to the dust used.

6) Combat info:

Position/Class: Tank/Brawler

Landing strategy: Fires all 8 barrels on the way down, before using semblance to turn the ground below Hal to sand.

Fighting style: Uses a typical boxing style, trying to keep close to the enemy and command their attention, preferring to dodge any attacks if possible, but more than capable of rolling with the hits. Able to use aura to attack, though it's a bit more brute force than the ones shown in the series

7) Trivia:

Relationships: A rather large family, Hal's oldest brother works in R&D for the Atlas military and created Rumble, after much badgering from the persistent boxer. The second oldest brother is a priest in the Church of the Reluctant God. Note: Haldris translates as stone spirit, while Nicanson is derived from Nike, which translates to victory.
