Occupation: Student/ Information broker Appearance: At the height of 5'8" and the weight of 143 lbs Kandata is your typical teenage boy with a slim figure. He has pale white skin and blood-red colored hair which are long enough to cover his ears. He wears a pair of goggles over his head, a brown long-coat over his school uniform, and a pair of rider's gloves. Face Claim:Rabac from Akame ga Kiru - Spoiler:
Disclaimer: I did not draw this. The image belongs to its rightful owner. History: - Spoiler:
Kandata was born from a wealthy family. His family owns one of the biggest Dust trading companies. Due to this, they are hated by many Faunas. At his early age, Kandata didn't really understand what's going on the outside world, he lived his life easy with no worries but at the same time he also felt loneliness. Living in a large mansion for a young boy is hard. His parents were always busy with work, so he was always left at home with the maids and butlers. Due to an illness, Kandata was not allowed to leave the mansion, his education was through private study, and because of it, he made no friends
But one day, while he was playing at the front yard, a group of strangers with animal-like ears approached him and asks him some things regarding his family's household. Kandata was fascinated by these strangers, as he haven't met a Fauna in person before. At that time, Kandata is still young and innocent, so he told everything he knows, he felt happy that he was able to share his experiences with others. However, little that he know what are the consequences of his actions will bring.
Later that night, their mansion got attacked by a group of renegade Faunas. They killed every single member of the family. Kandata manage to escape by hiding in his closet. The renegades burned the mansion to the ground. It was a miracle that Kandata lived. It was from that time he started to develop his hatred for the Fauna race.
With nowhere to go, Kandata wandered around the city. There, he saw a world that he haven't seen before. It is a big and wonderful place, and at the same time, cold and cruel. He got lost and found himself in the slums of the big city. Lost, and all alone, he started to think that he was cursed. He have everything he needs in life with his family, yet, it was taken away from him. At that point, he was ready to give up everything. Until he met a person known as "The Tarantula".
"The Tarantula", a skilled assassin from the slums, who uses her deadly weapon the "Silver Lining". She saw this lost boy wandering around the slums with nowhere to go. "The Tarantula" decided to adopt this boy and show her the ropes of life. She teaches him how to be independent and how to live on his own. 'Kill or be killed' that's the motto of "The Tarantula".
Years passed since Kandata's Family were killed. He decided to live his life as an assassin, following the footsteps of his master, "The Tarantula". His master also gave him the "Silver Lining". a mechanical Belt with threads stored inside it, it was his master's weapon. He promised to himself that never again will he be deceived by others.
Now, he works as a hired assassin/information broker who is also a student since his current client requires him to be one. His current mission is to gather information regarding the illegal Dust trading within the school campus. Personality: Arrogant, cocky, and selfish most of the time and doesn't really care what others think about him. He only thinks of himself and likes to deceive others for his own benefits. He is also lazy and tends to trick others to do the work for him. Despite his personality, he has a strong sense of obligation on his job. He keeps this nice and friendly facade when he's around with everyone. He is quite cheerful and sociable, but at the same time highly alert on his surroundings. He also don't trust anyone. He can easily betray you the moment you befriended him, but not to the point that will kill you. Strength: Quick and Agile. Kandata is has high agility and very nimble. He can easily dodge any predictable attacks. Analyzing and Tactical. With only a matter of seconds, Kandata can predict almost 80% of what will happen next. He can also easily scan the environment and use it for his own advantage. Well-prepared. Kandata always plans ahead. He makes sure that his traps are all set up before he engages the enemy. Weakness:Lack of Stamina. Due to an illness, Kandata has low stamina. Despite his nimble movements, he can only keep it up until his stamina runs dry. Lack of Strength. Since Kandata relies mostly on his threads, he doesn't have that much strength to begin with. This certain weakness is one that he truly regrets. Environment Limitations: Kandata's fighting style has its limitations. He can't fully utilize his style in an open space area, since he needs obstacles to set up his threads as a trap. Semblance:Deceit: A semblance that allows one to erase his own existence in the eyes of the others. Erase - Kandata will be able to erase his presence. It's kinda like invisibility, but the user is not really invisible, it only alters what the others see. It means that he might be invisible to one's eyes but visible to the others. The difference between his semblance and invisibility is that his semblance only affects his target, and does not affect any other people that is out of his range. So he might be invisible to his target, but other spectators can see him. Additional notes: The area of effect of this ability is within the radius of 20 meters from the user. Character Reference:- Spoiler:
Kandata's character profile was inspired from a short story, The Spider's Thread. It was a story about a cold hearted criminal trapped in hell, who has done one good deed in his life. He saw a spider's thread descending towards him and grabbed it to climb out of hell. However, other sinners started to climb the thread behind him. Fearing that the thread will break from the weight of the others, he shouts that the spider's thread is his and his alone. It is at this moment that the thread breaks, and he and all the other sinners are cast back to hell. WEAPONName: Silver Lining Primary Form: A handy mechanical belt-bag that has threads stored inside it. image: - Spoiler:
The threads are made of orichalcum which are sharp enough to cut through a grim's flesh. Basically it's a weapon with many uses, such as: Trap - The threads can be set up as a trap which can easily catch the enemy offguard; Shield - The threads can also be molded as a barrier that can block some of the enemy attacks; Alarm - The threads are very sensitive and reacts to the most gentle movements. it can be set at various places as an alarm for the user if there is an enemy approaching. Enchantment - The threads can be coated with Dusts, to add properties to the weapon and gain more advantage. Ironically, for an assassin, the weapon is made for defensive mechanism rather than offensive combat. History: The Silver Lining is given to Kandata by his master who is only known for her alias "The Tarantula". So far little is known about the weapon's history or the reason why it was handed over to Kandata.

| I'd like some clarification on your semblance, as well as some limits. What exactly can he alter about his appearance? How is it different than invisibility? More details would be appreaciated.
A minor detail that won't really withhold my approval, is the fact that dust doesn't enchant weapons. Rather, a weapon can be coated in it to add an effect. | |

| *Edited*
I explained a bit more about the semblance and removed the altering stuff since its confusing.
About the enchantment, yes, I meant the weapon(specifically the threads) can be coated with dusts for additional effects. | |

| 2/2.
I'm not going to move it just yet though. I noticed the height is in standard and the weight is in metric. You might want to edit that so it's easier to follow. | |

I also want to add an image of his appearance, but... meh, I'm to lazy to draw right now. Maybe some other time. | |

| Hmm... I'm not sure on the new semblance. You've made it stronger, but there is no real risk to using it. There needs to be a bit more balance before I can re-approve. | |
