Moseph Xenwise

CHARACTER

Name: Moseph Xenwise

Age: 19

Gender: Male (Horse Faunus)

Symbol:

The Parasite beckons.:

Occupation: Beacon Student (3rd year)

Appearance: A 6'1" broad-shouldered man, Moseph would never be seen without his usual attire - a black jacket with a notched lapel ,three outer pockets (including a patch pocket for his electronic cigarette) and two inner pockets, one holding Moseph's precious pocket watch because waistcoats are for wusses. Never stuck under it, his black and white striped tie is also in full view. His trousers are held up by a belt with a lock on it (purely decorative, HE'S NOT FAT).

His skin being unnaturally pale, his whole figure would be rather square, including his face. Always with a stubble, Moseph walks around with an ever existent frown. His eyes are blue but always behind his pair of glasses (unless you manage to take them off, which won't make him any happier). His hair is short but unkempt, going all over the place, though it lets his horse ears blend extremely well in it. His horse tail is hidden under his tucked in shirt on top of which is also a jacket, so it's hard to tell it even when it's moving.The man quite literally focuses on his clothing and disregards the natural conditions of his body.

Moseph sketch by MrZoso:

History: Moseph, like many people, has a tragic past. Blame his dumbass parents who decided it's fine for a 7 year old to run around a scientific research facility without any surveilance other than a group of camera operators too busy playing poker to watch the feed. Indeed, before that, Moseph was a pretty cheerful kid. A normal kid, if there was such a thing as normal - happy when things go his way, crying when he was shouted at, a bit of a prankster... widely expressive, so to speak.

His parents were developing a new training device - Aura-sensitive viscoelastic material which could be molded into shape using a person's Aura. Amongst other problems with the lack of visible reaction to various different semblances, it also smelled and tasted like custard. So Moseph, on one of his rounds around the facility while nobody noticed him run around, came across the room holding a container full of the stuff. Suddenly feeling hungry for custard, even if it was black instead of yellow and labelled with a sign for 'Hazardous Chemical', he walked up to it and started eating, managing to finish the whole container before he was finally found. The stuff was harmless, but his parents FREAKED OUT and started running like crazy, doing checks and trying to figure out how to save the child they brought into the facility because they wanted to pour money into research instead of a babysitter.

The stress from all the commotion brought Moseph to tears and he started feeling bad just from hearing about everything that could be happening. His body started reacting to the new substance like an intruder and his immune system went crazy. To add to the craziness, his father decided that unlocking Moseph's Aura would help. All of these factors contributed to Moseph's Aura becoming inavertedly tied to the material, pretty appropriately named Symbiotic Parasite as it could only function when fed the Aura to act. Beyond that, it passively rested inside Moseph's body, moving under the skin and staying inside his body for life.

His parents were happy that their son survived but they were even more happy when he started excreting the substance through his skin and making it crawl around his body. They were so happy they immediately took the scared and crying child to start making tests. They were dicks. Moseph got pretty mad that his parents decided to not show compassion, not even scold him, nor hug him, but instead take him to be experimented on. So much that he broke free and was even prepared to give them a serious beating with the Parasite flowing out and covering his face in its blackness, but seeing their faces frozen in fear, he pulled it back and fell to the ground, his young Aura being expended already.

The rest of his life with his family was spent with them being in constant fear of him, and he didn't care. He openly trained himself in controlling his Parasite, paying no heed to their pleas to stop. Whenever he could, he enrolled into Signal as an excuse for being away from his parents. While there, his more serious nature caused by a drive to self-perfection and control over Parasite made him unappealing to his peers, ultimately resulting in him having no friends and working on academic performance. While there, he grew fond of shotguns for weapons because of the punch they packed, so he trained in using a shotgun most efficiently. Unfortunately, his training was interrupted by a right shoulder injury, but he didn't let it stop him. Finding out that he could wield the shotgun as well in his left hand as in his right hand, he set his mind on not only learning to use it one-handed while his right arm was unmovable but once the other arm was functional he decided to use two shotguns instead of one.

While his social contact left a lot to be desired, his grades from theory and combat classes ultimately granted him passage into Beacon academy. There, he became a member of team ROLX alongside Ryan Havens, Sean Ottons and Liam Borealis. The three were probably the closest things Moseph ever had to friends, although all four members were really reserved and secretive, not sharing any deep or important information about themselves. They didn't need to though, because in battle neither spoke to each other, effectively leading four assaults instead of a single one as a team. It seemed like the team would continue to prosper... if not for the fact that one night, Ryan left Beacon to take care of his sick mother, Sean inherited a comic book company from his uncle and Liam was arrested for his connections to the White Fang terrorist group. Thus, Moseph was left alone, stuck wandering the school and attending classes until a new team would present itself for him.

Personality: Moseph rarely takes initiative to talk to people, preferring the solitude of listening to music from his media player. While he does obviously feel emotions, he isn't too good with showing it, his face usually frozen in a rather bored expression and voice stuck in a serious monotony. When he does talk, he's usually pretty blunt about what he thinks or means. There are very few things in the world that can visibly impress him, and for that he prefers fantasy over reality. He enjoys repainting the world in his own eyes to form a new view of it.

His fighting is influenced by sound - normally he'll fight with earphones slipped into his horse ears, dancing to the music, although he can replay it to himself in his mind if he has to. As such, he won't help anyone he can't see since he's busy dancing through the danger. He's not afraid to use his knowledge to get what he wants - he blackmails his parents about his 'accident' into sending him money on spending.

Strength: Ambidextrous, great sight (the glasses are for show), very fast reflexes (almost instinctual, he can act before completely processing the situation), creepily calm most of the time, rather strong (can hold two shotguns like they're revolvers), high stamina

Weakness: Not fast, low endurance, not good socially and teamwork-wise, doesn't take initiative (won't fight unless ordered to or attacked)

Semblance: Symbiotic Parasite is the freeform black viscoelastic mass inside Moseph's body which can be controlled by Moseph's Aura when connected to him but can also act separately outside of his body if it's fed someone else's Aura to stay in form. Moseph can excrete the Parasite through the sweat pores in his skin. It can travel around his skin as a half-centimetre thick mass but cannot leave his body without contact. When Moseph touches something, however, the Parasite can move onto it and stick on, either separating from Moseph and losing connection to his Aura, having to rely on another source of Aura to stay in shape OR it can stay connected to Moseph and stretch. Thanks to that property, Moseph can do things like grabbing two walls with the Parasite and using them like a slingshot. Due to the fact that the mass has a specific quantity, any Parasite not-returned to Moseph's body will be unusable until it's touched by Moseph and pulled back in. Thanks to its properties, it can also help Moseph take hits better - not by tanking them but by causing him to bounce away slightly. It doesn't deny the force of the hit, but it lowers the damage taken. Additionally, Moseph's Aura signature on all of the Parasite allows him to always track down where it is located.

The Parasite can be attached to people who can keep it on them by simply reaching out to it with their Aura and feeding it minimal amounts of it to keep it in shape. Thanks to its Aurasensitivity, the Parasite can relay information to other groups of it if the Feeder wishes to do so - they cannot, however, choose which Parasite group to send information to so they have to relay it to the Operator (that is Moseph, since all Parasite groups would be sensitive to his Aura and thus he can choose which one to send it to).

WEAPON

Name: Pneptophaleous System (Pnepty-L , Pnepty-R)

Primary Form: Two SPAS-12 shotguns, both modified by Moseph to reload automatically, allowing him to wield each in one hand. That's not the only modification, because who needs ammunition all the time? Instead, both have a small Dust-reactor built into them to fire the energy produced. The reactors have three firing settings - "LOW" is where energy is used to propel whatever is inside the barrel (the shotguns can take impact-explosive Dust shells which Moseph always tries to have at least 12 of), "MEDIUM" where the energy itself is fired at enemies and "P" setting where the energy output is the biggest, so much that it's rarely used for attacking because of the recoil. Instead, "P" is used for propulsion purposes above everything else.

Secondary Form: When the need appears, the shotgun barrel can be unhooked and flipped so that the barrel slides over Moseph's upper arm, revealing a thin but pretty durable short blade hidden within each shotgun's body. It takes a second to switch from the shotgun to the sword.

Tertiary Form: Since each shotgun is a separate weapon, one can be switched into a blade while the other stays a shotgun, allowing Moseph to use both forms at one time but from different hands.

History: The weapons were built by Moseph in Signal - the Dust-reactor blueprint was 'borrowed' from his parents' workplace. The blades were added after fighting at close quarters with some swordsmen and being at disadvantage with lack of melee range (hitting people with the shotgun barrels didn't interest him as it could potentially damage the reactor).

Approval +1

Approved.

Edit: Edited the [Gender] and [Appearance] sections to make him a Horse Faunus... to give Fayza a nice surprise as homage to the OC, and because horses are cool.
