Height:
5'6
Weight:
124lbs
Eye Color:
Gray
Aura Color:
Gray with a Dark Red hue
Physical Description:
A Cat Faunus with vertically aligned slits with irises that are faintly colored and a fair if slightly tanned peach complexion to her, if one were to have a keen perception and see inside her mouth one would notice the 'canines' she has as well, though small enough that those without such keen perception may not even notice them at all.

She has four 'whisker'-like markings that go across her cheeks, along with this she has dim gray eyes that she has been told only really have much 'pop' to them when it's night out. Her hair is generally speaking all in one a nice dim white shine to it hardly as white as say one of the Schnee Siblings but the messy mop on the top of her hair is easily a standout trait that makes her easily seen in a crowd along with the pair of ears that seem to flick and curl at certain sounds or gestures that are made, despite 'certain' comments she may receive she appears to be hardly afraid to hide this aspect of herself, underneath her clothes is a tattoo of a flowery design and some form of 'strange' mask-like design that goes over her shoulder and breaks apart onto her back the impression an artist from Mistral must've done the design.

She stands at 5'6 (166cm) and weighs approximately 127lbs (56kg).
Outfit Description:
She can generally be seen strolling around in a long gray jacket that hangs loosely on her with the hood of the jacket down and a sleeveless white shirt underneath, along with a pair of ink-blue slacks that are tucked into a pair of combat boots that have a set of loose chains hanging off of them, though this is hardly the only outfit amongst a series of them she can sometimes be found in along with one that is more suited to more 'extreme' combat engagements and long-term on the field time if it ever comes down to that. Albeit being a third year that hardly seems like such a concern at the moment now does it?
Personality Description:
An arguably very introverted person opening up to others is not the norm for her and in fact, it is more common for her to be found nose-deep in a comic book, trying out new coffee mixtures, practicing her mediocre guitar skills, training, or out in the wilds on another adventure than to be found socializing with others, this can lead to her being rather 'direct' at times which has gained her a reputation of being a tad bit 'difficult' to communicate with.

At the same time, she is 'loyal' and 'heartful' to a fault and will go out of her way to protect her comrades even ones that may not like her or vice versa. Granted none of this is atypical of a Huntress but this same behavior applies in social aspects as well, she will defend her friends but also try to correct them to make them better.

She'll put them before herself in many ways, even being described as 'too generous' at times what people she does open herself up to it seems, she finds herself growing very fond and attached to and enjoys socializing with. Those she is close with are considered staunch allies and to some degree her family it is not an exaggeration to say she trusts them with her life and anything about herself.
Backstory Highlights:
Born Artoyia Donnelly she would not live by this name for long as around the age of 'six' the village she lived in outside of Vacuo was not only hit by a Sandstorm but following the aftermath the negativity brought about by it had attracted a roaming pack of Grimm which attacked and swarmed the village destroying it with few surviving the tragedy.

Artoyia was one of those survivors through sheer chance, she had found herself wandering the deserts it was only by a miracle that she was found, a Huntress had found her wandering, said Huntress having been out there investigating what had happened only to find the wandering child.

She would be taken back to Vacuo where she'd be nursed to health, but practically stuck in a coma for almost a week before she awoke... The trauma of the event itself had caused her to forget everything including who she was before... The Huntress who had saved her would go on to adopt her into her family.

At the very least she was raised in a Faunus household with several 'rabbit' Faunus inspired by her 'adopted mother' the now named Lios (Having taken on the family who adopted her last name) would go on to start training to become a Huntress wanting to live by her example.

Her childhood was inherently a lonely even with this luck of events Vacuo was a place where one fought to survive something Lios would learn rather fast her lithe and slim body combined with a shut-in-like personality due to the trauma she suffered resulted in an early rough childhood that had her being bullied consistently both teasing and physically both this and the trauma resulted in her making up imaginary friends it was the ‘Incident’ that one of them finally ‘responded’ to her bullying, for when of her bullies thought it a good idea to try and steal the necklace that her adopted mother had given her on the day she was rescued by her ‘friend’ and this time she was the one to beat them up.

It was luckily not more than a broken arm and a lot of shed tears plus a suspension from school on Lios part but it was also the wake-up call for the girl that she needed as it was not a mere ‘triumph’ the next few days had put her in a horrendously awful state and it was just as fast that she learned about her Semblance that she learned about its drawbacks.

Her life didn’t really change much after that but she wasn’t bullied after that instead whispers of how she was a ‘freak’ instead and how she’d kill you if you even tried to do anything were the new rumors… She stopped letting it get to her, her focus was on getting into a combat academy and learning how to become a Huntress, years passed she’d make a few friends, and picked up things that brought joy in her life but it became apparent that what she wanted out of life just wasn’t in Vacuo…

This is generally where her life has led her after getting excellent marks in Oscuro Academy instead of going on to partake in Shade Academy she received a letter of recommendation to come to Beacon Academy after much debating internally she ultimately decided to move away from Vacuo and to Vale and the rest is history.

What awaits her from this point onward is an unknown… Move to a faraway place, see new sites. Get into some trouble maybe?

Semblance Name:
Mea Umbra
Semblance Description:
!TRIGGER WARNING THEMES OF DEPRESSION, INSANITY AND SELF-HARM DO NOT READ ONWARD IF THESE TOPICS MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE!

Semblances are said to be a reflection of the soul, almost like an inner look into the type of person you are dealing with they don't always make sense for someone, even someone hotheaded could end up with a Semblance that seems more befitting of someone who is calm and rational...

In Lios's case her Semblance is a reflection of her 'Negativity' her 'Trauma' so to speak the defining moment of her life so too speak shaped her soul 'Mea Umbra' is a Semblance that allows her to convert her negativity Rage, Sadness, Guilt... Etc and manifest it physically into amplified attacks or other shapes such as shielding around her or someone else to protect them from physical harm.

It's most 'apt' form that earned it the name it has is the 'Avatar' or 'Spawn' that can be spewed forth if enough Aura is used akin to a monstrous pale and cloaked creature of claws that grow more crimson the closer to the tips you get to them, this thing is a full manifestation of her Trauma of the events that happened to her and can only act according to her will it can attack, ensnarl, defend the usual suspects.

The downsides of this Semblance are less anything physical but the mental toll it takes on the user, as it forces her to swim in her own negativity every bit of it, flashes of her trauma appear before her and vivid memories of more 'recent' negative moments in her life come to the surface of her mind.

To say the least, if one spends far too long drowning in such things it could cause them to break or worse, the Semblance is an eternal fight with one's self the more one drowns in it the more they'd drive themself to the brink so to speak without getting into the nitty gritty as it isn't a heredity semblance the end game for a Semblance like this on over usage is a gruesome scene for its user due to driving themselves insane all for the sake of finally gaining that 'friend' they ever so desperately needed during the time they awakened it.

Thankfully that hasn't happened yet and hopefully never will.
Weapon Name:
Riko
Weapon Image:
https://i.imgur.com/SNdmMbq.png
Weapon Description:
Riko is a slim edge with a ‘slight curve’ Gunblade with a built-in dual-action Revolver that also acts as a Dust-loader, unlike most weapons seen by the usual Huntress and Hunter of these days ‘Riko’ does not have a ‘storage’ state nor does it transform into a gun what you see is what you get out of it simplicity is often best especially when that simplicity certainly does the job quite well. The weapon was designed to opt for more complex internals and firepower instead of complex moving parts and versatility in transformation.

Despite its 'size' the thing weighs a lot requiring someone to properly train and practice with the weapon daily to get used to the weight and feel of the weapon itself, speaking of said weapon it is a Sword mixed with a Revolver that has also had a Dust powered Engine combined with it, this 'Dust Powered Engine' is meant to augment the swings and power of the sword with a selective trigger that can be pulled to power the Engine which then spews out the loaded dust through the blade itself supercharging it with the desired elemental dust into a ‘shot’ that can be fired off or a ‘slash’ timing is immensely key in this factor as perfect timing can lead to devastating combos when not only combined with her semblance but just the right string of attacks as well.

The Revolver has its own trigger as well with the ammo going inside the Cylinder it has been designed to hold Revolver rounds but can also take select shotgun shells and slugs in order to be more considerate of what may be available in terms of regular and or dust ammunition. The downside obviously comes in the form of reloading the weapon which due to the complexity of the parts and the fact that the cylinder is already quite large in the fact it holds a staggering twelve rounds more so than the usual six of a regular 'revolver' means any form of speedloader is out of the question. Meaning once emptied it must be reloaded manually this is done by flipping open the top of the gun and slotting in the new rounds versus individually loading every new round at once though this can be done in the case of replacing a singular emptied slot with say a Dust round or slug.
Other Gear:
While a weapon like her own usually would not necessitate the need for any other, she does carry some useful gear and utilities on her person to make use of.

- Basic Medical Supplies (Including Adrenaline and Morhpine)
- Numerous ammo pouches.
- Multitool (Including a Lockpick)
- Dust Grenades
- Her Guitar... Less something she carries on her at all times just a noted thing she brought with her to Beacon.
Fighting Style:
The core fundamental usage of her weapon is referred to by herself as 'Gunbreaking' the essence behind it being that both the Gun and Blade are one and used in conjunction with each other to create a deadly weapon that not only can cut but deal even immediate blunt damage, it is a style of combat that combines both speed and strength into one but its core focus with that in mind is also in order to protect others, in RPG terms think of 'Lios' as the Tank. The person who stands at the front and takes the attention of the enemy, with this in mind there are numerous styles.

Breaker:
Involves disabling the foe with powerful blows in order to create openings for her allies to capitalize on in order to defeat the enemy, consequentially this style is the best for 'Breaking' another person's Aura.

Lionheart:
Using both the Gun and Blade at the same time involves using the blast of the 'Revolver' and the blade to create vast and overwhelming cuts and blows to the enemy, a highly offensive style it also combines Dust Munitions for the Elemental effects they can have on both Blade and Enemy.

Revolver:
In the inverse making use of the Revolver part of the blade by combining constantly in the middle of long strikes that are looking to hit multiple enemies at once, a style that's mostly meant for dealing with more than two or three enemies and focuses on dealing with a pack.

Avatar:
The style which employs the most unique part of her Semblance the most, combining the fundamentals with of her weapon and combining the third aspect of her Semblance's Avatar the style itself sacrifices defense for an overwhelming offense that looks to overwhelm the opponent however it is also a style of combat takes it toll on Lios and thus is really only employed in bursts and rarely ever.
Strengths:
Lios is what one would refer to as 'Well-Balanced' her Strength and Agility have been refined to work with her fighting style and her Semblance is oriented for combat despite the risks it carries, and she has attempted to make up for that by creating various styles of Combat to help decrease the reliance on her Semblance in a fight as much as possible. And while not on the surface level seeable she has the intuition and strengths of a Leader though lacks the refinement and social skills needed to truly let it shine through, it is usually only with those she is close with that these traits of hers show off.

Despite her only 'average' levels of Aura she has well-refined Aura Control, specializing in controlling and making use of her Semblance and also in protecting herself she has control to the point she can use her Aura to empower her punches and kicks though not a rate that she could switch to full martial arts by using Aura.

This is a Strength in of itself despite her Anti-Social behavior her fondness and compassion for those she is close with and people, in general, make her someone who wears their heart on their sleeve so to speak, while it can be difficult to determine what she is thinking at the moment she almost always means well, even if the outcome is negative and she has a firecracker way of never giving up.
Weaknesses:
While 'Well-Balanced' is nice she does have some notable weaknesses, in particular, her Aura levels are average at best meaning she cannot make use of her Semblance too often she pretty much drains it and taking hits can also be a significant issue if she needs to make use of it, it isn't dire to the point of she can't take a hit or her aura will drop to below average and she can take punishment it's just not at the level she herself would like, especially as someone on the frontlines.

Another weakness is very much that Semblance for as potent as it can be the mental drawbacks are significant to the point that over-usage can lead to horrific physiological effects if not kept in check, it is very much a double-edged blade anytime she uses it, due to that fact she will on a social level never mention this drawback to others less they start worrying about her, which gets into another issue.

From a social standpoint Lios is independent, reliable, and good-hearted she, however, is not the best with social relations when she tries she can find herself fumbling and trying to figure out the right words, at her worse she can come across as blunt and cold almost matter of fact in tone, while some may not find an issue with this... Plenty have. Her Anti-Social behavior and trust issues are deep-seated in her trauma ironic that her Semblance comes with a 'Friend' so to speak that reminds her of this very Trauma, it could be said to be a reflection of how she feels like an outcast so to speak, as trying to remember who she is properly is an issue she battles with constantly.

In turn, her good-hearted nature can end up being a detriment she always tries to see the good in people to the point that she'll sometimes dismiss questionable actions if she herself can see the justifications in them, this is especially true for those she finds herself trusting this isn't to say she is a bad judge of character more that it is easy to leave an impression on her good or bad and shaking that will take it time.

Mentally speaking Lios suffers from clear cases of PTSD, Depression, Paranoia, and Anxiety most of which are covered up by a strong mask that she herself wears these issues are not crippling to the point that she can't perform but they are to the point that interacting with others is something she has a strong time doing, to the point she'll sometimes just avoid it if she can less it is someone she is familiar with.
Likes:
Lios is a 'Wanderer' so to speak if she has the free time she is likely going to do it exploring places she hasn't been too a bit of a wonderlust there she finds it to be incredibly calming so to speak, albeit dangerous in the case of going to places that are possibly infested with Grimm.

As cliche as it sounds Lios does enjoy her training and the effort she puts into it, there is a reason it is a part of her daily regime it isn't just because she has to, its because she wants to, this isn't to say she is someone who will start dragging others along to train with her she frankly finds more peace in doing it herself.

Coffee... She likes a particular blend but for the life of her she has no idea what is used in it due to it being a secret that has been kept from her! Regardless she likes most forms of coffee even Black. Though as of late she has become something of a 'taste tester' of any sort of blend even just the 'weird' ones even if they gross her out.

Guitar. She isn't particularly great at it or anything but she keeps at it... Someone once told her she had the voice of a Metal Singer, I mean its a compliment! Err at least she thinks it is?

Studying, Learning, Reading? They all sorta go hand in hand with each other she likes reading and learning about new things, studying over history and coming to understand how things are why they are, she isn't a 'scholar' at least not in the traditional sense but there is that bit of scholarly charm in her eye... Almost as if she has a secondary career path already in order if being a Huntress doesn't work out.
Dislikes:
Treachery is the sort of thing that Lios despises with a passion, especially when it comes from those who she has placed her trust in. Those that commit it including the greatest sin of all in full-blown betrayal are the sort of people Lios can never find herself forgiving, even going as far to hate them.

While she is sympathetic to petty crime to survive, she absolutely despises those that commit serious crime to the point that she has no issue committing acts of Vigilantism even if it could get her in trouble.

Things that are far too bitter and yet she can't stand things that lack some bitterness to them or even a bit of sweetness to them, but if they are lean into either far too bitter or far too sweet? Eugh.

Just doing nothing, she can't... She has to be doing something even if its just tinkering on her weapon or spinning something between her fingers if she isn't doing something she'll die! ...What do you mean she is exaggerating!?

Herself... Not in the traditional sense of "I hate myself and what I am." but more in the sense she isn't really sure who she is? What are these flashes of a life she never lived that come to her from time to time, why is her semblance the way that it is... These sort of questions plague her to the point of disliking her, she feels as if though her whole life is clouded in mystery and finding out who she is, its... Its important to her, at least in the sense of discovering who she wants to be.
Fun Facts:
She is a universal OC of mine I generally have a version of her for everything she is in, even if some versions of her wildly differ such as her Cyberpunk counterpart or her VTM counterpart.

This 'Version' of her is heavily inspired by my FFXIV take on her with some major differences to make her stand out in order to not be an entire 1 to 1 recreation.
