Trailer: Brown

A tall man with brown hair tied in a bun was sitting on a bench in the park. He was just checking the latest news that appeared to a few games he was interested in. Few posts barely got his interest, the news were mediocre at best. He then adjusted his glasses and switched to some story reading. Not a quarter passed and something drew his attention: two figures hidden away in nearby bushes, wearing white and black outfits, silver masks covering their faces.

"White Fang? Here? What are they doing?" he wondered.

The man continued reading, or rather he faked it, deciding to observe the two. They were acting really strange: it seemed as they were looking for something, or someone. It was quite easy to deduce since they were observing other visitors and looked away when they didn't seem to find what they were looking for.

Few minutes later, a strange person with short, spiky yellow hair passed by his bench. The young man was shaking, looking nervously around. Someone must be looking for him and it didn't seem like it was something safe. He looked around a bit and dashed into the bushes on the other side. Not even a minute passed and the two White Fang members emerged from their bushes and charged at the ones on the other side. It was clear they found their target.

The blond in the bushes screamed asking for help.

"This is just great... I hoped that at least this once I could just take a day off," the brown-haired man mumbled.

He took his collapsible staff and ran to the scene. Then man then activated the weapon's crossbow mode: from each side of the collapsed staff a straight arm emerged. He activated his Semblance and used it to create a string which connected the both ends of the arms. Furthering the use of his Semblance, he created a bolt and placed it on the crossbow. He then stood behind the two conspicuous people, aiming at their backs.

"What's your business with him?"
"It doesn't concern you, filthy human," a rather young female voice appeared from one of the White Fang members. "Let us take care of him."
"Why are you so difficult to work with?" he asked with irritation. "Always speaking so cryptically."
"Leave or you'll suffer big time," the other member spoke, this was a man who had low voice.
"You just ruined my day, you oaf," the crossbow wielder snarked. "I can't even..." and he dramatically waved his head.
"See you!"

The smaller figure charged at the man, this was a woman. The man shot his crossbow at her, but it only scratched her. She then took out two short daggers, holding them to her front. The other White Fang member grabbed the other man and started to run away with him. The woman attempted to slash her opponent, but he fully extended the staff and used it to block the incoming attack. The staff now turned into spear which resembled an arrow, like those seen in text rather then the ammunition of bow, and at its top had a cone. He then thrust it at the woman, but she swiftly evaded it and used her opponent's recovery moment to kick his back.

He struggled, but stood up and decided to change his current target and went for the running man. He started his chase after him turning his spear into a crossbow and shot a bolt at him. It hit his arm and he faltered but not enough for his captive to be able to set himself free.

Then woman behind the now-crossbow wielder yelled, "I'm not done with you!"
"Sorry, my priorities are in reverse!" the brown-haired man shot back with mild amusement on his face and the woman started to chase him.

The abductor picked on speed and the chaser was starting to loose his distance.

"Great... I guess I need to pull my secret technique or I'm never gonna catch 'em," the brown-haired man growled. "...But the last time I used it wasn't pretty..."

He changed his crossbow back into the spear mode, impaled it to the ground with cone, and leaped into the air, weapon in hand. As he descended he was in a decent distance from the man. He threw his spear at him and narrowly missed, but the White Fang man stopped surprised; that's what he wanted. The brown-haired man then performed a free-point landing near his spear. Well, nearly performed. He landed on his back, not a nice feeling. He then scratched it and the White Fang man let out a chuckle, annoying his opponent.

The man retrieved his weapon from the ground and pointed it at the man.

"Just give up already!" he yelled.
"He's too valuable for us," the White Fang member responded.

The kidnapper then stomped his right foot to the ground and a column of stalagmites started to head to the now-spear wielder. He stepped to a side and sported only a minor injury from the attack. The brown-haired man then shifted his weapon to a simple staff, no hooks at sides, hiding the cone inside it, and charged at the man. The White Fang member tossed his victim aside who yelled from the pain he received upon the impact with ground. His defender struck with the staff scoring a few hits, but the aggressor responded with a swift punch which connected with his opponent's guts and followed it with a downward smash with both his fists clenched together. The now-staff wielding man scowled a bit, but quickly recovered and performed a sudden low full spin with his weapon which sent his enemy on the ground.

The oppressed man started to fight with the White Fang woman who arrived just a moment ago. He didn't fare well, dagger at a neck is not exactly something one would like to have direct contact with.

"This man is ours now," she hissed at the man who momentarily knocked her ally. "Go home, child."

The man than impaled his staff onto ground and knelt, a large light blue ornamented circle surrounded him and had the woman and the victim within its range. Perfect, the man thought. Then several burst of light appeared, each slightly healing wounds of the men that were in the range, but the woman suffered few blows. Her surprise with the phenomenon allowed the man who was at her whim to free himself.

"You alright?" he asked him.

The escapee looked at the man with surprised eyes.

"How did you—?" he was cut short when his male kidnapper woke up and let a loud roar.
"This doesn't sound good, does it?" the brown-haired man asked. The other man simply nodded. "Can you fight?" the blond shook his head giving a negative response. "Stay close," he commanded him. Another nod. "You're not an easy guy to talk with," the now-staff wielder commented.

The male White Fang member rose from the ground and together with her female associate charged at their opponent. The man shifted the staff into spear mode, took it firmly in both hands and performed a half-spin slash just when his enemies were about to strike him. The female managed to jump back, but her comrade wasn't so lucky and got a cut across his chest.

He howled in anger and dark purple aura emanated from him, his hands turning into paws with sharp claws. His opponent was on a verge of losing his sanity, getting ready to kill the man who attacked him. He started to rapidly slash with his claws and scored a few hits. The brown-haired man was bleeding a bit, but nothing that Aura couldn't heal. He needed some kind of strategy or he and their victim wouldn't survive this battle. The White Fang woman decided to assist her ally in fighting the man and during her opponent's moment of inattention performed a jump and managed to score another hit with the dagger she held in reverse manner and it threw him into the air. He recovered midair, changed his spear into a crossbow, and shot several bolts at his enemies managing to hit them a few times.

The White Fang man stomped with his foot and suddenly a piece of ground launched him into the air, straight to his opponent. The woman simply leaped. The brown-haired had to think fast. Then an idea hit him.

He grabbed his spear in a manner that fishermen grab harpoons when hunting larger fish and threw it straight into the woman. Before her partner could warn her or she could notice the incoming weapon she was hit by the spear and flew straight into a tree.

"What will you do now without your weapon, human?" the male White Fang member asked, chuckling.
"This!"

The spear that impaled the woman by her hood onto the tree suddenly launched itself backwards. Its wielder performed a back flip in midair and his opponent closed in the distance, somewhat confused what was his enemy's intention. Suddenly the blunt end of the spear hit back of his head knocking him out and bouncing off of him. The brown-haired man grabbed his weapon and shifted it into staff mode.

"You're grounded!" he shouted and performed a powerful downward slash on his opponent smashing him to the ground creating a small crater. He then landed and approached the victim of the White Fang. "You okay?" He nodded.

The woman somehow managed to compose herself after her fall from the tree after she was freed from the spear. She was running straight onto the now-staff wielder with her daggers pointing straight at him, yelling. Just as she was to stab him in her rage, her opponent quickly rotated his staff in front of him using it as a shield to deflect her attacks.

"And for the final touch," he said placing his staff on her chest, the woman was surprised by this turn of events, "fly awaaay!" and he launched her into the air with all the strength he could muster. He then twirled his weapon above his head and placed it on the ground, "Breezy."

He grinned at the blond. The freed person then suddenly pointed at his savior's left shoulder where a tattoo was placed: it had brown text-type arrow spear pointing downwards, placed in a dark brown diamond.

"You're a... hunter?!" he exclaimed surprised.
"More like hunter-in-training," the brown-haired man responded, his hand scratching the back of his head and sheepish smile on his face. Moment later he extended his hand to the blond in a welcoming manner. "Name's Bruin. Bruin Brown."

Author's Notes

This is just the first character trailer and three more are to follow. Bruin is "based" on the character of the nameless student who briefly appeared in RWBY Volume 1 Episode 9 and who hasn't appeared ever since. His battle style is kinda a mix between Noel Kreiss's style from Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Leia Rolando and Alvin's from Tales of Xillia, and there might also be a bit of Zidane Tribal as seen in Dissidia Final Fantasy series. I made a numerous references to those characters here, I wonder if you can catch them.

I'm already excited for the next one as it will feature a character who is largely based on a certain Final Fantasy character. This one will a "hella" character.
