History:

Argent grew up with his single mother, his father having left her before she gave birth. She was a free spirit, liberal and open minded about Even though she was drunk at the time, Argent being a complete accident at the hands of a brutally forceful father, Sasha was determined to have her child. Fortunately for her, Walter wanted nothing to do with the pregnant girl or the baby she held inside her. Staying with her parents, Argent's mother gave birth to him in a hospital just outside of Vale. Cradling to boy in her arms, she was horrified to see him with the same black hair as his father but relieved by the sight of his cool gray eyes, most definitely her's. After a few weeks, she thanked her parents before moving back into Vale with her son, determined never to return to her previous life. Sasha raised her son as best she could. She ran a small cafe, Keaton's Kitchen, below their apartment where she worked as the manager/waitress and eventually, after observing the meager staff of four, three humans and a wolf faunus, whom he treated as family, Argent worked as the chef and occasionally a waiter.

For a time, they had a peaceful life. During the day, Argent went to Signal and at night he worked in the cafe. However, when Argent was 14, business began to fail due to the rise of several clubs and the family was hard pressed for money, causing his delay in attending Beacon. At night, while the rest of the staff where gone or asleep, he would don his weapons and join bar fights for money, which he left in their tip jar in the morning. This lack of sleep is also where Argent's slight eye bags come from.

With this, Argent became used to the darker side of the city, it's bars, drugs, crimes, the entire works, which caused him to be associated with different gangs giving him a plethora of connections and a few enemies. Eventually, he signed up for Beacon after graduating from signal.

Personality: Argent is a down to earth person and, despite his looks, is approachable. He enjoys talking to people and serving them meals, especially when he sees they enjoy it. However, Argent also has a darker side. He enjoys fighting just as much as he does cooking. In a fight, he changes from a soft, fun person to that of a determined winner. He relishes hitting someone, egging them to hit him back, spewing wisecracks the entire time. All the time however, he is somewhat cocky and overconfident in his own abilities, usually being reckless and stubborn. Another part of him is that he gets incredibly affected when he hurts a woman, mentally beating himself and falling into a somewhat depressive state, most likely due to the experience his mother had leaving an impression on him.


Strength:Argent is a skilled hand to hand fighter. His punches and kicks, even  unaugmented by his weapons, are unnaturally strong, enough to knock a beowolf back a few feet. He is also fairly agile, able to dodge and weave while keeping his feet in the same spot. His blocking ability is also strong enough to block a boarbatusk, without his semblance, albeit sliding back several feet.

In terms of abilities, Argent is a very proficient cook and can easily read people.

Weakness:Although Argent's boots are capable of ranged attacks, their effective range is only about 10 meters, meaning he has to get close to fight properly. He is also reckless in fighting, usually not noticing his teammates and jumping into action. Also, he isn't too used to fighting in a team.

Semblance:Immovable Object

Using his semblance Argent blocks any force from his front, such as a charging Ursa or Boarbatusk, with his aura. This "shield" covers his front as well as a half foot radius around him. However, in this state, he is completely unable to move until he stops. This also means he is completely vulnerable from the sides and the rear. Also, this semblance cannot be activated if his entire body moving (e.g. walking, running, jumping). Activating the semblance takes less than a second. However, deactivating it takes two seconds as the shield has to dissipate.


WEAPON

Name:Hima

Primary form:A pair of silver mechanical gloves that come up to an inch above the elbow. Each finger is only half a centimeter thicker than a normal one and each knuckle is topped with a small stud. Grooves run down the back of the forearme where Argent's tendons would be.

Hima uses dust, visible as lines on the underside of the forearm going towards the palm and meeting at a point in the center, which can create structures of ice, about 5 meters around him. Blasts of cold air can also be shot out of the elbows making his punches stronger.

Hima:

Secondary form:When not in use, Hima collapses, the forearm folding in telescopically, the fingers going to one inch, and the hand's plates interlocking to half normal size and slipping into the forearm. All in all, the "sheathed" form is 4.5 inches long and 2.5 inches in diameter, and hang at Argent's sides at on his belt.

Agni

Primary form:A pair of silver mechanical boots, going up to just above the knee. The soles are fairly thick and add about an inch to Argent's height. Using dust, Agni can fire super heated and compressed blasts of air which can break through wooden doors, increase the speed and strength of his kicks, enable Argent to jump three stories, and knock enemies back. They do not penetrate flesh but leave 2nd to 3rd degree burns. There are circular vents on Agni's soles where these blasts come from. Behind the calf are interlocking plates, from the top of the boot to the ankle, which open and allow Argent to easily wear and remove them.

Agni:

History: Argent made Agni and Hima at Signal, choosing gloves and boots to help him in his brawls. At first they were simple metal pieces of armor but Argent soon gave them the dust abilities they have now.
