Malina Xnukek (Eveningstar)

CHARACTER

Name: Malina Xnukek (Assumed name of Eveningstar while in Vale)

Age: 20 Years old. Born on the 14th day of the 4th month

Gender: Female

Symbol:  

Occupation: Third year student at Beacon Academy

Appearance: 5’6”  134 lbs. (Plus 30 lbs. from Manticore.) Malina has long red hair and greens eyes, a trait passed down from her father. She, like most Alapelagians, has a much darker skin tone than the Valish. While most inhabitants of Vale have a milky white skin tone, she has a beige-mocha skin tone. She wears a necklace, given to her by her mother, with her symbol hanging in a circle at the end. The necklace itself is made mostly of a rare material, Alanstium which is slightly tougher than titanium, from her home kingdom, while the symbol itself is made of a crystal harder than steel. The chain and ring around the symbol are a pale gold color while the symbol is clear with a pale blue tint. She wears the necklace everyday to remind her of better times before her tail and a reminder of what her parents did to her. She most often wears a black half-jacket, tied in the middle, over a yellow blouse and black pants. She has no combat armor to speak of.

History:  Malina was born in Tikalima of the Kingdom of Alapegias. Her parents, both unconventional scientists employed by the government, were deep in the study of furthering self abilities and combat when Malina, who was but five years old at the time, was subject to one of her parents government-funded combat experiments. Her parents surgically attached a large cyber-organic scorpion’s tail to her lower back and sent her out into the junior combat schools to test her abilities and how Malina would adjust to the new attachment to her body. After being mocked and ridiculed for five years Malina decided enough was enough and created a plan to flee from her parents and the country.  

During the night of her tenth birthday she stole her brothers old weapons and snuck out of her parents house to one of the cargo ships heading to Vale. During the ride across the ocean she stowed away in the cargo room, hiding atop and around the large crates whenever a seaman came to check up on the supply. When she needed food she climbed through the vents, scooping up food from above with her tail. Upon arriving in Vale she changed her surname to Eveningstar and began living in the streets, scrounging and staying in the shadows for two years, away from the sight of men and women. The day that Signal recruiting came around she swallowed her pride, collected her few thing, and made her way to the school.

At the school she made herself known, more so than other students, by sticking out as the scorpion girl. Even there in the kingdom of Vale they pestered and picked on her. During her first year she had lost eight training matches and won twenty-two. While in her first year she lacked physical strength, she made up for it in mental strength. Every match she fought she laid out a plan to make the enemy tired, then strike. In her second year, she discovered the power of dust rounds and lost five training matches and won twenty-five. During her third year she developed an affinity for propulsion dust and the ability to dart around the battlefield. During that year she lost two matches against teachers and one against a student and won twenty-nine in total.

Upon graduating from Signal she received invitation to Beacon, one of the top training schools in the kingdom. When she arrived at the Beacon Academy she was paired up with a boy named Muzen Vespidae for her initiation. During initiation she also met up with Vega Anasi and Itzapa Calsio, who became the rest of the members of her team. She was eventually named leader of their team by Ozpin. In their first year she took full control of the team, turning it into somewhat of a dictatorship, In the second she continued to do so until the midpoint of the year.

The team had been out on a mission. Hunt down and kill a Kazatrapp. During the mission Itzapa suffered a deep gash across her stomach from the Grimm and, after firing her last bullet into and through the Grimm’s skull, bled to death shortly after. After watching someone somewhat close to her die for the first time, Malina began to ease up on her team, allowing them to voice their opinions and follow some of their advice. At the beginning of her third year she began the study of poisons and antidotes as well as medical and biological studies. Thus began her second to last year at Beacon.

Personality: Malina is manipulative, mean, and most of the time a compulsive liar. She thinks of almost all others beneath her and sees weaker fighters as unnecessary additions to the world. She takes great enjoyment in seeing weaker fighters be beaten and pummeled into the ground with wrath as they are not worthy to stand among Hunters and Huntresses. She does, however, have respect for those able to put up a decent fight or even beat her, though she may not show it. She is very used to being able to wield intimidation due to Manticore and almost never shows and form of fear or nervousness, always wanting to seem in control of things. Due to Malina being how she is she can be very hard to get close to and it is very hard for Malina to get close to other people. When she does get close Malina treats them as equals and siblings, though not in public. She has never had anyone special in her life before, preferring herself to others in that regard, and as such she is completely inexperienced in the field of actual relationships despite her age. She resents faunas as she believes that they lack the right to claim they have been discriminated against as she thinks that being compared to a cross between a human and a Grimm is worse than a human and an animal. She doesn't respect anyone, superiors included, until they prove themselves as capable and useful to the world. If they prove to be useless almost nothing will make her change her mind save for being beaten.

Semblance: Concussive Burst - She has the ability to send out her aura in a concussive blast outward fifteen meters in all directions than can cause others to get knocked far back and even knocked out. The aura moves at a quick enough speed to deflect small caliber bullets and and thrown projectiles as well as close range attacks but larger caliber bullets moving at a faster speed and still pass through, although they may be thrown off course. Malina can use her semblance ten times before she begins to severely slow down and 15 before she passes out from aura exhaustion. She most often quickly swipes her hand horizontally through the air before launching her aura but can launch it without any movement.

WEAPON

Name: Manticore

Primary Form: A large dark navy-blue cyber-organic scorpion tail, also made of alanstium, attached to her nerves in her lower back at the age of five. Along the tail are several, also dark navy-blue, bladed segments that stick out off of the “spine” of the tail. On the end of the tail is a pointed stinger, resembling a scorpion’s, that has a chamber at the base that can be loaded with five different types of poisons and one empty slot. Malina has full control over the tail and usually uses it for fast swiping attacks or jabs although it can be used to capture someone or something, by wrapping around them, or block hits. Blocking hits, however, is dangerous as the joints of Manticore are it’s weak-points. When she is not using the tail it is wrapped around her waist.
POISON TYPES:
Paralyzing: Paralyzing anywhere from a limb to the entire body for a short period of time depending on the dosage of poison used.
Sedatives: Able to numb parts of the body and ease pain.
Quick killing poison: Able to kill someone in a matter of minutes.
Slow killing poison: Able to kill someone in the maximum of an hour.
Knock-out agent: Able to knock out someone for up to an hour. (Real world explanation: Chloral Hydrate mixed with Ethanol)
Empty poison chamber: For none poisoned strikes.

Name of Secondary: Summer’s Blaze

Primary Form: Summers Blaze’s primary form takes the shape of two lightweight metal tonfas. They are somewhat blocky and have a chamber in the middle of the tonfa for loading ammunition. They are metal grey with crystal blue highlights.

Secondary Form: The secondary form of each is a dust applied magnum. Each magnum can switch through six different barrels of dust, which can be all different types of dust or all the same type of dust.

Combat Notes: Summer's Blaze never actually changes form and is always able to fire. This feature helps Malina position her weapons so that the long end of the tonfas, which double as barrels, are pointed past her elbow. This lets her fire off shits and propel herself through the air. While in the air Malina can flick Manticore so that she spins like a top as she flies through the air.

History: The Manticore was attached to Malina as a small child as part of a combat experiment by her parents. As the tail is cyber-organic it grew with her and at the same speed. During the night of her escape, Malina stole Summer's Blaze away from her brother in the night and learned to use them in signal.

Sounds alright to me, approved.

Question about the tail.

It's bio-organic, but it can be loaded with different types of poison. Is its cybernetic as well? Is it more of a cybernetic limb that is fused with the organic parts of the body allowing it to function?

I'd be more inclined to approve it if it wasn't fully bio-organic, since the science for that is a little more advanced than the technology we've seen here and in RWBY.

Yeah, that was supposed to be changed after the write up but I guess I forgot. Edited all bio-organic to cyber-organic

Approved 2/2

Added a radius to her semblance and the effects of the concussive blast
