Name: Ronan Valerious
Race: Caucasian Faunus
Race-Type: Canine
(See reference (Golden Retriever/Husky Mix) . )
Age: 17 (Like a normal high-schooler... fuckin' Ruby getting in early, fuckin' bitch)
Height: 6"0
Weight: 144lb
Physique: Athletic Ectomorph; Tall, Lean. (#Legs4Dayz)
Semblance - He can transfer his Aura into small bursts of inertia and force. He mainly uses it for super-charging punches and kicks. Extended use of this can drain his Aura.
Physical Description -
Medium tan skin, not exactly dark, but not a fuckin' vampire
See reference (Natural Tan) .
His facial structure is similar to Mercury's, but has a bit of Qrow in it, it's like a cool-ass crossover
Dark brown hair, cut short
See reference (FO4 Rebel Hair)
Curvalicious Eyebrows (Not too bushy, but just enough to wet with the tongue)
Dark brown stubble
Blue eyes, with a scar across his right eye
His right canine ear is floppy all the time. He has no control over it. This is due to a birth defect that resulted in loss of control over certain muscles in his body, including his right Faunus ear and his right ring finger, which he has amputated as it hindered his hand movement.
Height: 6"0
Weight 144 lb
Fuckin' toned-ass body. Not ripped like a bodybuilder, but definitely no beer gut. He's rather slender, actually. The closest to his body would be Neptune.

Apparel Description -
He wears a black beanie with two slits cut into it to display his ears.
He wears a full white wool trench coat inspired by Aiden Pearce image/cache/data/Aiden%20Pearce%20Watch%20Dogs%20White%20leather%
But the insides are a dark steel-gray color, and it extends to about his knees. The coat features a brown leather belt originating from the back, meant to tie around the stomach and pull the coat together, but he instead has it loosely looped into itself over his lower back. The coat is strapped and buttoned only once over a black long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up to just below his elbows ( assets/9268042/lightbox/S.D_Mesh_Rolled_Up_Sleeve_Sweater_-_Black_ ?1393178418)
The interior of the coat has multiple straps and pockets in which he carries miscelanious items (finding including loot, ammunition for partners, etc.)
The ends of the sleeves of the coat feature two small leather straps that can be buckled like belts. His right hand has both buckled, while his left sleeve is left loose.
He has a large red piece of cloth that wraps around his waist and pulls his coat inwards to his core but leaves the legs of the coat loose and flowing. Upon that red piece of fabric is a tied black belt, signifying his rank of 4th Dan Black Belt in "TaeJudo", a martial art native to Mistral. It was taught to him for 3 years by his father prior to his passing, after which he continued and completed his training as the apprentice of his Shade Academy weapons expert, Vladoff Knight, who he still refers to as Master. The belt is tied with the right side being about 20% longer than the left, a typical act of rank for practitioners of TaeJudo, with each degree of Dan-ranked belts increasing the percentage of right-to-left belt length ratio by 5%, signifying the crossing from student to teacher.
He wears black fingerless wool gloves with the sleeves of his trench coat just spilling onto the tops of his hands.
He wears light blue jeans with a hole in the left knee and has a black piece of wool fabric tied around his right leg above his knee that holds a small light purple bow, aligned angled sideways with the center of the bow being covered by the fabric holding it in place tightly. His pant legs are half-way tucked into his black combat boots, which extend to about 3 inches below his knees and posess straps and buckles hanging off of the upper portion of them.
Weapon Description -
I'm gonna be honest, Ronan was heavily based off of Mercury, and thus is a king of kicks. He strikes with his legs, grapples with his legs, pins, throws, holds and sometimes even catches. And as such, his weapon is blatantly Mercury's shotgun boots. However, his can be un-equipped from the shoe soles and used as common sawed-off style shotguns.
His boots are referred to individually as "Masterkey".
Lore -
Ronan was born in Mistral as the son of Roman and Nanette Valerious, with Roman being a Husky-type dog faunus, and Nanette being a Retriever. Due to a birth defect, he was unable to control his right ring finger and right Faunus ear. He was one of two kids, 1 year older than his sister, Bethany. He grew up as a normal canine-Faunus child, frequently playing in the dirt and having an appetite for bones, and his sister was the same way. He and Bethany rarely fought and had a very close relationship. When Ronan was 5 years old, his father began teaching him the Martial Art of TaeJudo, of which Roman was a 7th Degree master. He found it unfair at first, as he would have to train for hours while his sister played in the dirt. But, he didn't feel this way for long, as Beth began her training the day after she turned 5, a birthday of which was celebrated by a gift to her of a purple bow. She wore this both everywhere, and at all times, sometimes even sleeping in it. This occasionally caused disruption during training, but Roman hadn't the heart to strip his daughter of her most precious keepsake.
At one point during Ronan's training, his father had warned him of the great evils that exist. Not only Grimm, but those that sought to destroy the world. His father, was a Huntsman.
As he grew up, he and his sister both began to show great potential of becoming expert Huntsmen far earlier than most. Likely before their bodies had even matured. He was told by his mother, like every other child, that he was destined to become something amazing. That it was his path to do what was right for the world. Although it seemed shallow, his mother always had a knack for being able to read people.
When Ronan was 8 years old, his father had been invited to a tour of Remnant via airship, something Ronan had always wanted to do. So, he brought along the family. The tour went for about 2 days before things began to go wrong.
Ronan awoke at 3 A.M. on the 4th night of the flight to the sound of his mother screaming. When he investigated her room, he discovered her covered in flames, burning alive, with his father impaled into his bed. The ventilation system had caught fire and created an explosion, that caused the vent pipe over his parents' bed to shoot downwards, covering the room in flames and impaling his father, effectively killing him as well. He returned to his and his sisters room, and awakened her. They fled the room together to find half of the ship engulfed in flames and slowly failing. They stormed through the ship, searching for a way off. At some point during their search, his sister dropped her purple bow. His sister in a state of fear, sadness and panic, Ronan retraced his steps in an attempt to retrieve it, but as he did so he was grabbed by a security officer attempting to save him. Although he fought desperately, the officer was able to place him in an escape pod and he was forced to abandon ship alone. Without his sister, or even the officer to escort him. He lost sight of the ship in the thunderstorm that had taken over the sky and he eventually landed on a beach in Vaccuo. All he had left was his sister's bow, which he swore to protect with his life. After traveling all day, he managed to find a small settlement that lived off of the ocean. He was fed there and continued to make his path home. But after months of traveling, he still never managed to find his way back home. Instead, he was found living on the streets by the headmaster of Shade and Vladoff Knight, who handed him off to the local orphanage, where he lived throughout his time in elementary combat school. During his time at elementary, Vladoff Knight continued teaching him TaeJudo. After 5 years of training, Ronan had reached the rank of 1st Dan Black Belt, and graduated elementary with a specialty in military-tech. At the age of 14, Ronan fled the orphanage and began constructing his boots.
From the point he fled the orphanage at 14 to when he enlisted at Beacon at the age of 17, he went on a quest to destroy corruption and evil. He was responsible for multiple assassinations. CEOs of companies, White Fang leaders, Schnee Dust officials. Anyone he deemed in-just. A kind of crusade. His aptitude for technology and military hardware and software allowed him to become an even stronger killer. He was able to move quicker, gain access to events and locations not civilly reachable and steal information that would allow for him to perform the tasks even more simply.
He amassed such a kill count that Remnants councils put out a private notice on an incognito vigilante with no evidence as to his whereabouts.
Obviously, dealing in death so frequently has made Ronan mentally stronger, but also in a way, numb.
