2)Appearance 3)Characteristics 4) Trivia:
 * Name: Nathan Flint
 * Species:Hawk Faunus
 * Age: 24
 * Gender: Male
 * Symbol: Crosshairs
 * Handedness: Righthanded
 * Physical traits: Feathers gathered at the forearms. (Genuinely not sure what the physical charactersitic of a bird faunus would be. If anyone else has some other ideas, I'd really love to hear them.)
 * Misc traits: Wears dog tags from pervious military service at all times, carries a pair of spectrum goggles when on assignment.
 * Occupation: Mercenary, former Atlesian Sniper.
 * Aura/Effects:  Eyes turn blue when his semblance activates.
 * Height: 6'5"
 * Weight: 190lbs
 * Eyes: Yellow
 * Skin color: Caucasian with a light tan
 * Face: Clean shaven, with a thin scar of the right cheek.
 * Hair: Brown, short-cut.
 * Physique: Lithe.
 * Outfit: Casual: Black tank top and blue jeans with combat boots.
 * Combat: Light grey hooded jacket with darker grey cargo pants.
 * Background: Born to a pair of factory workers for the Schnee corporation in Atlas, Nathan grew up poor. And being poor in Atlas meant you could do one of two things: work for the Schnees, (which, since he was a faunus like his parents, meant he'd probably be getting roughly three quarters of the check his human counterparts recieved, and that was if he was lucky) or sign up for the Atlesian army to get sent to a military school. Naturally, he went with the latter. After four years of training he entered service at the age of 17, where he was placed into sniper school due to high marksmanship scores from his earlier training. Seven weeks later, he graduated 4th in his class behind 3 older servicemen and was made a scout. He saw action against Grimm in the Atlesian and Vaccuan Outlands (It's what I call the areas outside the four cities, I apologize if there was already a term for it), as well as brief skrimishes with the White Fang in Atlas. In his third year of service he encountered a group of Valish mercenaries while on leave in Atlas. After hearing about the pay they earned and the life of adventure they claimed to follow, Nathan was intrigued to say the least. Two years later he finished his service as a Sergeant and chose not to reenlist.
 * Personality: Tends to be reserved and buisnesslike in the field and around clients, and focuses intensely on any task given to him.
 * Likes: Order, profesionalism, and challenging shots.
 * Dislikes: Sloppiness, entitlement, and melee combat.
 * Notable relationships:
 * Parents: Currently live in Vaccuo on his severance pay from the army as well as his earnings as a mercenary.
 * Amber Sahara: Teammate and friend. Occasionally requests Nathan's help in the testing of new Dust ammunition and explosives.
 * Notes: Served under General Ironwood. No personal interactions, but he thinks hightly of him.

(Details about the characters combat ability)

a) Weapons
 * Wielder: Nathan Flint
 * Type: Arctic Warfare Super Magnum (AWSM) & Falcata
 * Short Description: Long-range sniper rifle with collapsible stock and bipod, fires 8.6x70mm rounds, goes for accuracy over power. 5 round magazine. Falcata is a sickle-sword used for either clearing a vantage point or fending off attackers who get in close.
 * Form 1: Rifle and sword are static.
 * Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Falcata is on the hip, while the rifle is often collapsed and carried in a backpack.
 * Features/Capabilities: Accruate to a range of 1600 yds, although the furthest kill Nathan has achieved was at 1900yds.
 * Usage: Long range sniping, usually far removed from combat. Falcata is only used if there is no other option.
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: May be switched out if the situation calls for more firepower over the accuracy of the AWSM, and/or a magazine size upgrade. Also possibly replacing the falcata with a sidearm.
 * Notes: Essentialy the L115A3 Long Range Rifle inserted into the world of Remmnant. I selected this because it was the weapon used for the furthest recorded and confirmed kill with a sniper rifle at 2707 yds, as well as the fact that one of my favorite webcomic characters favors it. That being said, I didn't want to rank Nathan's sniping skill that high.

b) Semblance
 * Name: Bolt
 * User: Nathan Flint
 * Short Description: A small amount of Aura is focused into a single bullet, giving it the ability to plow through armor and Aura alike.
 * Visual effect: Eyes turn blue, and the bullet comes out with a bright light surrounding it. Usually white unless the bullet has Dust properties, in which case it takes on the color of the Dust type.
 * Type: Aural? (Not really sure. It's more channeling than anything else.)
 * Purpose: Offensive
 * Range: Long Range.
 * Other limitations: Slows the speed of the round down slightly, and requires intense concentration in order to ensure that any Dust properties are not set off prematurely.
 * Active ability
 * Dust interaction Fire: Bullet explodes on impact.

If the character has a non military orientated occupation

i) Day to Day Life
 * Expanded Occupation/Business Details: Two-year member of a mercenary guild (Name pending. If anyone has any ideas I encourage them to be shared.). Has earned a reputation for being extremely capable at watching people's backs, though his lack of melee skill is sometimes joked about.
 * Skills: Has limited skill piloting a Bullhead, as well as minimal skill with repairing robotics thanks to his service alongside Atlesian Knight 130s.
 * Certifications: Former Sergeant in the Atlesian Army

Slightly more fleshed out version of a character I submitted on the last thread. Hopefully there's more to work with here/
