Personality: Onuris is an all out troublemaker and trickster, often causing more trouble for his teammates than he should. He likes to pull pranks and teases others, though, never in a way to harm someone. Most of his pranks he likes to direct towards humans, though he will often tell you he has nothing against most people, humans just tick him off sometimes. He mainly targets the people who are rude or cruel towards faunus like himself and is kind to the people who return the respect.

A trait that he has never been able to grow out of is that he is very affectionate towards others, be they humans or faunus, male or female. He will often express this affection int he form of flirting or being very touchy, hanging on them and such. However, this form of affection often rewards him with nasty looks or disturbed stares from either the people he is expressing towards or people around him. He cares not how other see him because of this and continues to express himself in such a manner.

There are times when he can be angered, though not easily, he will likely swear more often than he already does. He also does this if he is under some kind of distress and feels irritated in a way.

Representation: Egyptian Sphinx

Color: Obsidian

Semblance: His ability allows him to control sand to a certain degree. He is able to use it as a barrier to protect himself with as well as catch someone with it, able to hold them in place for a small amount of time, allowing him to attack them with either his katars or his guns. He can also block attacks that are coming towards him by moving the sand in their way or by forming it before him to soften the blow.

He is also able to stop himself from falls, that is if he can form the sand is a soft pile in time for the impact to be lessened. However, if there is not much sand around in the area, he has trouble to gather the amount of sand he could need for either making a shield, blocking a blow and making a cushion for him to fall upon.

A downside upon his body is that the strain of trying to focus upon controlling the sand, it can often give him headaches because of the focus. He can also get tired for a certain amount of time because of the exertion of trying to control such a solid material.

Emblem: Side view of a curling wing.

Bio: Onuris had been in an orphanage when he was born, who he has no memory of his parents nor any life other than the one he had at the orphanage. The orphanage was run by humans with a few other faunus living there, and like many others faunus who lived there, he was not given a name because of his heritage. As such, many of this never got to grow up because of starvation, as many of the human children would steal their meals. The human children would tell them that they had no right to eat food that they did not catch themselves as they were animals themselves. Onuris, like many of the other faunus children, just let this happen, but when he eventually began to feel the weakness come to him, he started to fight back against them, winning his right to eat. As a result, many of the human children began to fear him and he would share what food he got with the other faunus orphans.

It was not long that the human children tried to fight back against him and he would run off to his sacred place, where known of them could find him. It was the town library, as many of the towns people looked down upon the faunus, the librarian whom he met thought otherwise. She was happy to have him visit her library as often as he did and began to teach him how to read and write. As such, he began to find life easier now that he was no longer like most faunus. At 7, during one of his visit, she asked about his name, where he replied that he was never given one. She was surprised about hearing such a thing and said every childed needed a name. After some thought, she told him his name was going to Onuris Nu from then on because of his black hair and deep silver eyes. As he grew up in the orphanage, he began to trick the human orphans with the knowledge he had gained from the books he had red and gained the respect of the other faunus who lived there.

At 15, he felt he couldn't live in that orphanage any longer, feeling that he had something even bigger than he should be doing. He spoke of this to the librarian, who he had thought of as a mother. She told him that he could go into school, a school that trained children to become warriors against the forces of darkness, the Grimm. He had remember her reading him about such people as well as reading the stories himself, it was then that he found his resolve, telling her that was what he wanted to do. When he first tried to enroll into such an institute, they would not accept him because who what he was. However, with the persuasion of the librarion who spoke nothing but praise of him, he was finally accepted at his second try.

Even though he started much later than most students attending, he was able to keep up with them all and even learn faster than them, much to the surprise of his teachers. It was pure chance that he had figured out his fighting style upon being challenged by a group of human students. Before the fight, he was given the choice of weapons in the sparing arena, it was there that he picked up a random weapon as he did not know which to use. As a result, he had picked a bladed handle, the blade pointed from his hand in front, a weapon called a katar. He has somehow won the match, must to the displeasure of his opponent. And it was later in the year when they learning about guns and were told to trying shooting with them that he found he was somewhat skilled with them. The teacher said he had very good insight and was well aimed.

With these factors in mind, he decided to design his own weaponry as none he had seen the idea he wanted. And so, after he had finished it, after talking with the librarian, he was able to for the commissioning of such a weapon. It didn't take long for the weapon to arrive and with his final year in school, surprised many people with how well he passed. He got high grades in both the knowledge department as well as the weaponry and fighting area.

Fighting style: He mainly likes to fight up close and personal, fighting almost ruthlessly with a speed unlike a human. He strikes quick and almost relentlessly with continuous strikes of the blades of his katars. He uses his whole body when he fights, often maneuvering in a quick and almost fluid way to move out of the way of attacks and strike back with speed. However, his strikes are not as strong has most others, for he relies more on speed and knocking them back with repetitive strikes. He feels that with striking someone in the same area numerous times will cause them to break.

The gun properties of the katars are made into the handles, the barrel going partway along the outer side of the blade. He usually tries to get as much distance between himself and his target when using the guns, feeling that it gives him enough time to aim and shoot with almost surprising accuracy, even if his target is moving. He uses different kinds of bullets than most others. Occasionally he will use the ordinary rounds but much prefers to use his dust infused ones. The bullets he uses are fire, ice or lightning, all of which bursts upon impact with the target.

His preferred method of fighting is to shoot from afar until the target is stunned and then move in swiftly to strike up close, possibly knocking them out.
