Long ago, our world was overrun with GRIMM.
GRIMM are monsters of pure evil. They only live to destroy. They come in many shapes and sizes, but all of them are dangerous. With their abilities to sense negative emotions, nobody was safe. Humans had to hide away, cowering in fear. That didn't last too long, however.
Finding power within themselves, the humans used the tools given to them. Their Semblance, their Dust, and their weapons. Using these powers, Hunters and Huntresses rose to protect the humans. These people were given the power to fight back against the GRIMM. And by working with them, humanity managed to build homes for themselves. There was hope once again.
A Semblance is an innate power within you. Everyone has their own unique semblance. Some say your semblance shapes your personality. Some say it's the other way around. They can be anything from magnetic control to super strength to seeing the future. Semblances aren't the only power Hunters and Huntresses have. Your Aura is incredibly important as well. It protects your body and will keep you from getting injured. It protects you and can heal minor scrapes and bruises. Just be careful because once it runs out, you won't have any protection.
Dust can come in many different types, shapes, and forms. Fire of all, let's go over the different ways Hunters and Huntresses use dust. There's normal powder dust, which tends to come out in a gaseous powder. This powder will have various effects depending on the type like slowing or speeding up those that pass through it with stone or gravity dust. Next up, you have crystals. Solid, compact dust. Be careful with this. If a crystal is hit by something like a gunshot, it will unleash a concentrated, powerful explosion. Next are vials. Vials are liquefied dust. You can pour vials out for various effects such as creating ice pillars from a puddle with ice dust or burning through metal with acid dust. Finally, there's dust weapons. You can incorporate dust into your weapons to create icy blasts with your gun, to shoot fire from your sword, or even to electrify your hookshot. The possibilities of what you can do with dust are only limited by your imagination.
In order to become a Hunter or Huntress, you must first go to one of the academies that train them. Entering in is difficult. Not only must you pass a dangerous initiation test, but you also have to keep up with your combat training and education. Field trips to locations and practice missions are fairly common.

Name: Fenrir Bluefang
Color: Blue
Legend: Fenrir
Weapon: Wolfang Chain Blasters - Fenrir has metal, clawed gauntlets that he wears. Attached to them is a chain and gear contraption. At the end of both chains are wolf head shaped guns. They can clamp down on enemies to hold onto them, pulling them closer or shooting them. The contraption on the gauntlets allows Fenrir to retract or launch the chain.
Semblance: Fenrir can increase in size, gaining much higher physical strength and endurance the larger he gets.
Race: Faunus
Appearance: Fenrir is tall and strong. He wears jeans with a chain dangling from the side, a black shirt with a blue chain design, and a blue fur coat. Fenrir's hair is black, mid length, and messy and he has black wolf ears. Fenrir's eyes are blue.
Background: Fenrir's mother, a faunus, was originally married to a human. Living in Vale his whole life, Fenrir's family was...well, strange. Seeing as faunus and humans never really got along all that well, Fenrir often had to tell with ridicule and hate for his faunus heritage. Through this he gained a sort of resentment towards humans and became very defensive. This didn't improve when his father died from extreme anti faunus protesters. This happened when he was fairly young and his mother eventually met and married Pannes' father, a lumberjack. Fenrir got along fairly well with his sister and became very protective over her, trying to keep her from having to endure what he did. Fenrir doesn't really have an interest in being a Hunter, but if he needs to be one to continue watching after his sister, he will. What was she thinking, choosing to spend every day fighting off GRIMM...?

Name: Spearah Lacblanc
Color: White
Legend: Spirit of the Lake
Weapon: Lost Axes - Spearah uses two axes. One silver and one gold. Both are powerful physical weapons and look identical to each other aside from color. They can combine together to make a powerful rocket launcher.
Semblance: Spearah is capable of controlling water around her, turning it gold when she uses her semblance. This extends to ice as well.
Race: Human
Appearance: Spearah is slightly taller than other female students and she's very beautiful. Spearah wears a white circlet on her head and a blue dress/skirt that is made for wearing in battle so it doesn't slow her down or get in the way. It's light colored and flows in the wind. She also wears a white scarf and gloves. Her boots are white as well. Her long, light blue hair is put up in a ponytail and she has golden eyes.
Background: Spearah comes from a family of lumberers and crafters. They cut down trees and make furniture out of them. Spearah wanted to become something more than just another lumberer though. So she trained to help fight against the Grimm. She is very honest and doesn't ever lie and likes to see honesty in other people as well. Usually when people do things she likes or finds admirable, she'll reward them. This can usually be any number of strange things she just finds lying around or an excessive amount of gifts she personally bought. Spearah's family works for Pannes' father. She actually first met Pannes when she dropped her axe in a lake during the middle of a tree cutting run.

The only problem is that she's a thief. Violetta doesn't actually have much money, so in order to get dust, she has to steal it. Of course, she isn't making anyone go bankrupt. She only needs some for her Huntress work. But dust isn't cheap. She discreetly steals dust with her shadow cat semblance.

Name: Anubis Black
Color: Black
Legend: Anubis
Weapon: Underworld Axe - Anubis' axe is black with an intricate, silver design along the blade and shaft. The weapon itself is a large axe that seems to...not really fit Anubis' small size. He makes it work somehow. The axe is capable of shifting into a large machine gun.

He wears black robes with silver designs on them, representing the desert winds. He wears silver bracelets on his arms as well, depicting jackals. The hood on his robes also looks like a jackal when worn up. It is designed so that the fangs are just above the face of the wearer. Anubis often gives off a mysterious air. Anubis has a jackal tail.
Background: Anubis used to live in a small village with both Orus and Niteo. Orus and Niteo were always rivals, even in their childhood. It was a healthy rivalry. But one day, something unexpected had happened. Niteo had killed Orus' father. That was the same day the village was overrun by Grimm and it was burned to the ground. With his home destroyed, the lone surviving Anubis took the jackal cloak, the only thing left of his home, and left. Not a single tear was shed. There was no time for sadness anymore. He works to bring balance to the world. The Grimm have become too powerful. It is time for them to be knocked down.

She wears black, fingerless gloves that also sport the skull and crossbones design with skull earrings worn on both her left and right ears.
Background: Ever since Joanne was young, she was the best. Or she had to be the best. She has a serious competitive streak. Nobody can stand in her way. If someone challenges her, she'll win. Because she's the best. Or at least she will be. Having gone to school with Cinnabre, she decided he was her rival whether he wanted her to be or not. It's questionable whether or not he even knows he's her rival. She often calls him her pirate rival despite those weirdos that say he's not a pirate. She's the best pirate and she'll show everyone! That's why she's going to become the best Huntress. That way she can prove she's the best. She's also going to wipe the floor with Cinnabre and his team. Take THAT, rival!

However, one day, when Niteo was out hunting with Orus' father, the leader of the village, something went wrong. Orus' father ended up dead and Orus blamed Niteo entirely for it. The two erupted into battle and the swarming GRIMM that followed destroyed the village entirely. Niteo ran from home, trying to forget the entire ordeal. He now looks to become a Huntsmen, preventing the same thing from happening again.

Name: Clayton Ovis
Color: Khaki
Legend: Enkidu
Weapon: Metal gauntlets and horn-guards with retractable spikes along with a heavy boombox
Semblance: Increased stability, durability, shock resistance, and strength
Race: Ram Faunus

Usually has just his gauntlets and a pair of pants on, often going barefoot and barechested, though he's covered his shoulders in all sorts of markings, scars, and tattoos.
Background: Younger brother of Carmine Ovis, he outshined his brother in physicality and brashness, but was often overlooked by his rather extensive family (they bred like rabbits, despite not being rabbit-like at all) because of his rather unimpressive Semblance, especially compared to his older brother's quite powerful one. Despite this, Clayton admired Carmine immensely. To help counter his lack of positive attention, Clayton would act loudly, rashly, and crudely around others to at get attention of any kind. After this become too much of a problem for his large family, which was already struggling due to political issues surrounding the White Fang, he was subsequently kicked out of his home. He knew that his brother got accepted into one of the top huntsman schools in the world, so he'd do his best to get into one too.
