Character Picture:

Height:
5'2"
Aura Color:
Deep Red
Physical Description:
Mavros has neck-length pinkish-red hair, tied back into a short ponytail and held in place by a ribbon hairtie most of the time, giving the appearance of a tall, somewhat shiny forehead.

Pale skin and vibrant blue eyes contrast his generally dark choices in clothing, and his black bat-wings, which aren't big enough to provide any lift, but do flap fruitlessly when he's airborne, or overly excited or flustered. Another sign of his faunus heritage is his slightly pointed ears and small fangs, only really noticable when his mouth is open wide.

In physique, Mavros is lanky but short, comparatively long limbs compared to his torso, but overall still smaller than most other people his age.
Outfit Description:
Mavros's preferred kind of attire is dark, formal and fancy clothing. A frilly shirt, ribbon neck-tie and a suit vest covered by a dark red or pink hoodie jacket, dress shoes and fingerless gloves. All of his shirts and jackets have special pockets in the back, to allow his wings to slip through and stick out of the back without leaving a noticable gap in his clothing. He wears dress shorts in black, with long dark socks, and black dress shoes held in by a buckle.
Personality Description:
Mavros is trying his best to be friendly, he really is, even if it may not come across with his outwardly grumpy demeanor. He wears his heart on his sleeve, but finds it very difficult to be open and vulnerable with others about such things, despite his occasional habit of being overly blunt about his opinion.

He's easily flustered and annoyed, especially by matters of competition or comparison between him and others, where he'll place too high an expectation on himself and become frustrated with his inability to measure up, which usually makes him more reckless and less able to think through his actions properly.

He can also be a little bratty and naive, having grown up in a rich and sheltered environment, which combined with his grumpy attitude can make him stumble into difficult social situations.

All of that said, frustration isn't the only thing that drives him, he's also compassionate and self-sacrificing, sometimes when it isn't entirely necessary, protective of the relationships he does manage to make, even if he isn't the best at actually maintaining them.
Backstory Highlights:
Mavros was born Mavros Leifei, the son of a faunus father, Morcant Leifei, and a human mother, sharing a peaceful life in a distant village in the wilderness of Mantle

Unfortunately, he had little chance to meet them, as a Grimm attack took both their lives when Mavros was still an infant, surviving only because he was hidden away by his mother before her unfortunate end. When the rubble was cleared and the Grimm staved off, Mavros was found, but the lack of care for an extended period of time gave him respiratory problems that would continue to affect him for the rest of his life.

Specialist Albus Pendragon, Atlas Military, was distraught and surprised to learn of his estranged sister, Gwen Pendragon's untimely demise, who had left home years before to set out on her own path without the warrior's legacy of the Pendragon name bearing over her. He took Mavros in as his adoptive son, feeling a sense of commitment to his sister, but unfortunately, none to Mavros.

Mavros's upbringing in Atlas was harsh, being seen as both a commoner among the upper class and a faunus among humans, his weak constitution and skinny frame making him an unimpressive warrior. Nontheless, Mavros was determined, to live up to the legacy of both his birth mother and the Pendragon line, furthered by childhood stories of great heroes saving the world from monsters. Albus was protective of him, but cold and unimpressed with his prowess, despite Mavros's constant attempts to impress or convince him that he was ready for real combat training and to live up to the Pendragon legacy, Mavros only got token resources, uninterested private tutors, and false exercises designed to improve his confidence, but only patronizing him instead.

The tension between the two continued to grow, Mavros making repeated attempts to sneak away to spar in secret, always ending when he was caught, or returned home to find a dissapointed Albus waiting for him, only to then tighten security around him further, each time making Mavros's determination to succeed stronger and stronger with spite.

As part of his final escape attempt from home, Mavros snuck into Albus's old weapon storage and successfully stole the Atlas Specialist's customized sword-rifle, Birthright, and took it with him as he left Atlas, travelling through Mantle all on his own. He lost a lot of his supplies across the journey, both to poor planning and through being easily conned now that he was outside of his gilded cage, and by the time he finally reached his destination he was malnourished and sleep-deprived, but determined to prove himself.

Unfortunately, his plan was doomed from the start, as his attempts to apply to Beacon directly immediately lead to him being caught with a weapon stolen from an Atlas Specialist who had, of course, sent out notices about both the weapon and the missing boy when neither returned home after a day, and spent the day recuperating in a protective cell set up by the local law enforcement, as he waited for Albus to retrieve him, this time with absolutely no chance of escape.

However, Albus chose not to press charges. Mavros was allowed to keep his weapon, and keep his success. Albus, coldly as ever, gave his blessing to allow Mavros to apply.

All of his escapes and secret training paid off, his demonstration of his combat prowess allowed him to pass, though, of course, with two caveats. There was definitely no way he was ever going to be able to hide his respiratory problem, or his deep self-worth issues, and he, begrudgingly, accepted the management courses... and of course, while he has no plans to steal anything else for the rest of his life, staff are likely to remind him of it.
Occupation:
Education:
- Private Tutelage in Atlas. While his combat training was a token effort, it still gave him insights he wouldn't otherwise have, and his general education was much more sufficient.

- Attempted escapes from Pendragon Manor and the personal sparring he did on his own while he was free.
Semblance Name:
Feint
Semblance Description:
Mavros is capable of disguising his location extremely briefly, by creating an illusory duplicate of himself and objects within his Aura (e.g clothes and weaponry) that can move independantly of him in short bursts. This illusory effect only lasts a moment, long enough for a feint and nothing more before disappating.

The Feint duplicate is only capable of doing things that Mavros could do, and can only follow his orders when generated; once it's released, he has no control over it's actions, though it lasts for such a short period of time that it doesn't really matter.

The Feint duplicate is entirely harmless and non-physical, it can't be used to interact with the world and can't be generated at a distance, instead "appearing" directly on his location and moving out of him. There's no obvious tell that these duplicates are fake just by sight, though as they have no physical presence they are unable to react convincingly to an enemy's attack which would simply pass through them.

Creating a Feint duplicate requires very little exertion and can be easily done as part of other actions, but overdoing it or creating many at once can be mentally taxing as he has to consider each duplicate's actions.
Weapon Name:
Birthright
Weapon Image:
https://imgur.com/brNps2g
Weapon Description:
Birthright is a lever-action, single-edge, sword rifle, with a wooden handle, and gold fillagree on the receiver. The blade of Birthright can attach to the front and back sights and lock in place, allowing the gun functionality to be used for powerful recoil-enhanced swings in sword mode.

The blade can be folded along 3 joints in it's length to allow it to curl up on itself, creating a boxy formation where the blades are all pointing inwards, which can then be turned again, around an axis at the back sight, to allow the blade to fill the function of the gun's buttstock.

Switching between the two modes is enabled by a mechanism within the grip itself, which can be twisted to provide easier grip between sword or rifle modes, and cause the blade to fold to the according function.
Fighting Style:
Mavros prefers medium or close range combat and is happy to switch between either depending on what's required. He pushes himself for accuracy and despises missing, and thus will generally take the time to line up his shot or prepare his strike, to ensure deadly efficiency over volume of attacks.

His unintentional training in stealth and escapes has given him a lot of skill at both dodging attacks, scrambling out of cornered situations and evading attention in a hectic situation so long as he's able to keep a level head, though he has had less chance to properly train defensively and has difficulty dealing with aggressive opponents on his own.

In hand to hand combat, while he can likely hold his own against another unarmed combatant just through his agility, he is much less practiced at it than with the sword.

In general, Mavros keeps low to the ground whenever possible, either kneeling with his rifle for more accuracy or maintaining a low center of gravity for ease of rapid dodges and unpredictable movement.
