This is getting rediculous. I think this is the final version though. Backstory's all filled out, and really only minor changes are needed (in my humble opinion). Like it, great, don't like it, that's fine. Anyway, before this turns into a running joke, here it is:

<p class="MsoNormal">Beige trench coat and brown 20s-style fedora (similar to Humphrey Bogart in the Maltese Falcon, or any similar Film-noir P.I. outfit). Dark grey suit underneath with black tie. Wears an armored gas mask when he needs to conceal his identity or block out harmful gasses. The trench coat actually is made up of Kevlar-like materials and has light ballistic plating in some areas. It also comes with a halfway-split tail, as not to hinder the wearer too much. However, when indoors he usually removes his coat.

<p class="MsoNormal">When he was a huntsman-in-training, he wore roman-style armor, with a mix of the Marian-era plated armor and late Roman scaled armor, though the color palette is was different (purple instead of red), as well as having more extended greaves and boots. When he became a huntsman, he changed his outfit, maintaining the armor, but with a more duster-like appearance, with the pauldrons worn outside the armor, as well as an English WWI-era helmet

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Gadgets (if any):

<p class="MsoNormal">Breaching explosive (small grenade-like device with nails on the bottom to stick to surfaces).

<p class="MsoNormal">Thermite paste (can of thermite paste which can be sprayed onto a surface and detonated. Can burn through almost anything, but takes a while to do so).

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0level1lfo1">3)<span style="font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:'TimesNewRoman';">      Characteristics

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Background: He grew up as the son to an engineer and huntress in Mistral. He grew up in a mostly industrial, working-class neighborhood, despite being middle-class. At a young age, he befriended a young and promising son of a factory worker and junior gunsmith by the name of Vulcanus ‘Vulc’ Kamen. The two became fast friends and Vulc’s generally friendly persona helped to contrast Legere’s more sarcastic and smart-ass personality. At the standard age, they both attended Sanctum, and were talented in their field of, as Legere jokingly put it, “protecting people and killing freaky things”

<p class="MsoNormal">At the age of 17, he got into Haven, and here he met his new teammates. He was considered to be an above-average fighter (definitely stand-out, but not exactly Bruce Lee), and was mentored by a very effective warrior by the name of Arthur. This is where he began to develop his sarcastic personality, and also where he got his first outfit, which is similar to that of a standard Roman legionary. Ultimately, his team was very successful, and he even made it to the singles round of the Vytal festival, before getting his ass kicked due to his opponent’s combat specialty directly countering his. His team graduated, and specialized in tracking, intelligence, and undercover/covert ops (he got his newer, more diminutive outfit at this time).

<p class="MsoNormal">However, all was not well; 5 years into their service, the team had been tracking a specific rebel group for a good while, and ended up following a lead that landed them directly in an ambush. They were jumped, and while they all survived, they were badly injured. Legere was the only one both ready and willing to continue the search for the culprits, and thus he continued the investigation on his own.

<p class="MsoNormal">Knowing that the ringleaders would likely destroy the evidence, thus covering up the identity of the group’s mastermind, Legere traced the rebel group to a small pocket of forest, right near the border with Vale. Setting up and ambush, he took the rebels by surprise, and was able to swiftly deal with the insurgents. After finding evidence that Arthur was connected to the group (he had suspected it, but was unsure), and confronted his former mentor (hoping to get his former mentor to attack him, which would give Legere an excuse to kill him). A prolonged duel ensued, leading to a close victory on the part of Legere. However, as opposed to murdering him, Legere decided to spare his former mentor (albiet severely injuring his limbs, so he couldn’t escape), and gave his location to the authorities, citing it as “a punishment worse than death”. The overwhelming evidence against Arthur (his former mentor) justified Legere’s actions, but the sheer brutality of the fight and chaos of the past weeks had him put on forced leave by the Mistral government. It was at this point that Legere decided that being a huntsman wasn’t for him, and the next year (age 27), he quit his job and went into the private sector, becoming a P.I./Bounty Hunter.

<p class="MsoNormal">During this time he learned many things and even ended up training an apprentice. He now takes legal contracts for high prices, capturing (and sometimes killing) criminals, escorting high-profile targets, and protecting supply lines from looters and terrorists. He sometimes comes into contact with his former teammates, whom had now all split and followed their own lives.

<p class="MsoNormal">-Personality: Businesslike and sarcastic. Often uses New York City dialect, and shares this accent and personality. Also somewhat cynical and very skeptical. This businesslike demeanor and his shadowy tendencies make him something of a cross between the film noir-style P.I. (but less brooding and serious) and prohibition-era mobster (but less volatile and murderous). He is also very logical and usually doesn’t let his impulsiveness overtake his better judgment.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Likes: Outsmarting opponents, logical and rational behaviors, tobacco products, when people stand up for themselves rather than relying on others, self-made success, poker, blues, jazz, urban areas

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Dislikes: Irrational behavior, moral and political extremes, terror and rebel groups, superficiality, blind faith, destiny, dust weapons, arrogance and pompousness, rural areas, sloppy and unprofessional work (especially when it comes to criminals)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">4) Trivia:

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Notable relationships:

<p class="MsoNormal">Vulcanus Kamen – Former squadmate, close friend

<p class="MsoNormal">Delta Quintong – Former squadmate, business associate

<p class="MsoNormal">Marius Kamen – Apprentice and business partner, adopted son of Vulcan

<p class="MsoNormal">Legis Nebulosus – Mother

<p class="MsoNormal">-Notes: He has connections to Mistral law enforcement, giving him access to their documents when he needs them.

<p class="MsoNormal">He is, for all intents and purposes, a true neutral: he hunts down criminals for the law (lawful), but follows his own rules (chaotic). He helps keep the peace, generally does morally acceptable things, and refuses to kill unless he absolutely has to (good), but really only has his own interests in mind (evil), with very few exceptions

<p class="MsoNormal">Usually carries 2-3 cans of thermite paste, a series of explosive devices, and remote blasting caps as well as 2 detonators.

<p class="MsoNormal">His combat style is similar to “gun fu”, a Hollywood combat type that comes from John Woo-style action films, like Hard Boiled and John Wick. It also involves using his surroundings and his own enemies’ weapons, which is inspired by games like Hotline Miami and Superhot

<p class="MsoNormal">Once every couple months or so, he and his former teammates all meet at a bar and have a game of poker together, discussing their most recent adventures, and generally keeping tabs on one another. In more recent years, however, his fourth teammate, Quinn, has been mostly replaced by Vulcanus’s adopted son, Marius.

<p class="MsoNormal">While he usually doesn’t kill his opponents, his fighting style is still extremely brutal. When fighting against enemies in the field, they often end up with broken bones and dislocated joints, and almost always end up in need of medical attention. To prevent any accidental deaths, Legere has trained in first aid; he always carries around a first aid kit

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hunter Extension: He is a former hunter, and as such he is familiar with hunter tactics. While he is effective at fighting Grimm, he prefers fighting against humanoid opponents as they “are better at strategy, and therefore more challenging and satisfying to defeat,”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">I) Weapons

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Name: Simo and Fang

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Type: TSPP (Tri-Staged Precision Platform)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Short Description:

<p class="MsoNormal">Simo: A mid-sized machine pistol that shoots a 3-rnd burst and is very accurate. A small box can be attached to its back, which unfolds and turns into a 2-rnd burst compact battle rifle that looks like a cross between a WA2000 and a BAR. Both come with built-in suppressors and the rifle has a 3-stage scope.

<p class="MsoNormal">Fang: A gladius-like blade with a magnetized guard and folding handle that allows it to attach to the bottom of Simo and act as a bayonet/foregrip

<p class="MsoNormal">II) Semblance

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Name: Auric tracking

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Short Description: The semblance allows its user to detect all nearby auras. As well as analyze the strength and condition of his opponents’ aura(s). It also allows him to trace his own movements in conjunction with weapons and his targets, letting him “blind-fire” with great precision and effectiveness.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Visual effect: Eyes turn cloudy and glow bright green while a dust-like (as in that stuff that collects on your shelf when you don’t clean it, not the show’s plot convenience) effect pulsates from them.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">III) Combat Info

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Class/Position: Strategist (team), guerilla/combo master (solo). He has a balanced build and brutal combat style, often involving using his foes weapons against them; however, his best tool is his mind. He is able to spot and track enemies using his semblance, and he is a brilliant strategist. When going solo or stealth he usually fills the “hunter” role of the team (remember Sev from Star Wars: Republic Commando? Yeah, same role but completely different personality), tracking targets and clearing areas stealthily.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Landing strategy: Has advanced shock bracers in his boots which eliminate most of the impact from falls. He also uses the flaps on his coat and even uses his surroundings to slow him down before impact

<p class="MsoNormal">-Fighting Style: Gun fu/stealth

<p class="MsoNormal">Extra statistical elements (not presented in usual statistics, ignore if you wish)

<p class="MsoNormal">Pros:

<p class="MsoNormal">Good stealth and tracking abilities

<p class="MsoNormal">Lots of experience

<p class="MsoNormal">Adaptive combat style and good improviser

<p class="MsoNormal">Charismatic and intelligent

<p class="MsoNormal">Able to remain calm in most situations

<p class="MsoNormal">Cons:

<p class="MsoNormal">Fighting style relies a lot on countering enemy specialization (i.e., closing the gap on a sniper, or keeping a brawler out of range), and his lack of specialization leaves him vulnerable, should he fail to adapt quickly enough

<p class="MsoNormal">Often resistant to long-term outside help unless he absolutely needs it from people he doesn’t trust (he trusts very few people)

<p class="MsoNormal">Mediocre with dust weapons

<p class="MsoNormal">Tendency to run his mouth, and often insults people, regardless of situation and status

<p class="MsoNormal">Civilian Extension

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">A) Day to Day Life

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Expanded Occupation/Business Details: His business is privately investigating crimes, tracking down and capturing mid-to-high-level criminals, escorting important people, and protecting supply trains and convoys. His business is shady as is his character; nobody knows much about him exactly, but they do know his business. He has a reputation for sticking to the contract but also doing things his own way, getting the job done non-the-less.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Skills:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Tracking, stealth, persuasion and manipulation, gathering intelligence, strategy and planning, anatomy

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-Expanded Relationships/Family Life:

<p class="MsoNormal">Vulcanus Kamen: His good friend and former squadmate, he maintains a steady relationship with him and the two will often swap stories and strategies, as well as supporting each other in times of need. One of the few people he trusts and usually gets along with, despite their differences in personality.

<p class="MsoNormal">Delta Quintong: Another former squad member, his relationship with her is less steady than his with Vlad (due to their differing, often conflicting outlooks on the world). However, she helps him and he helps her when it is required, though the two are put at odds about as often as they work together. He also trusts her with his life, though does so somewhat more begrudgingly.

<p class="MsoNormal">Marius Kamen: Vlad Kamen’s adopted sun, Marius is the former apprentice of Legere. The two often work together on contract and lead similar lives. The two are very similar and thus they get along well.

<p class="MsoNormal">Legis Nebulosus: Legere’s mother and to a certain extent, his mentor (before his other mentor’s involvement in his life), he has a healthy relationship with her. Her connections with other huntsmen and huntresses is invaluable to Legere, as it often leads to him getting more contracts coming his way.
