History: At a very young age Karsak parents were accidently killed and his younger sister was critically injured by humans. His older sister, Scarlet, stepped up to take care of his family taking a job with the Schnee Dust Company and working in harsh condition. In addition, being a faunus, he has dealt with much discrimination in his life. These events led Karsak to harbor a lot of hate and anger towards humans. As a result, Karsak joined the White Fang, participating in their protest demanding equality.
Unfortunately he didn’t see much progress being made by peaceful means and began lashing out violently. At first it was nothing major, no more than usual riot mischief like throwing rocks or occasionally starting fires. He heavily supported the White Fang’s transition from “weak” protest to more violent actions. He would often provide cover for raids and other missions with his sniper rifle, Banshee, picking off any one who stood in the White Fangs way and unfairly oppressing the faunus. Despite his initial enthusiasm for white fangs more “active protest” it slowly began to grow stale.
During a raid Karsak witness another member of the white fang kill a human child who posed no threat to the mission. This lead to Karsak having ideological conflict, he started to see that the white fang was just creating and using fear to gain power, and that this was just increasing the hate and resentment of the faunus by humans. He believed the faunus need to do something and violence was the only thing yielding results, but they were intensifying the dislike and prejudice towards faunus. He slowly began to grow more distant from the White Fang and eventual left. He still holds pride in the White fang and believes they are just misguided. He still harbors mistrust and some animosity towards humans and is still violent. For a while after leaving the White Fang, Karsak worked as a freelance gun. Currently he is attending combat school to be a hunter.
Personality: Karsak is a tactician always trying to be one or two or as many steps ahead as he can be. This leads him to have a distant, somewhat arrogant attitude as he tries to figure out other people. He tends to misunderstand and often misread social interaction, causing him many personal problems. He only gives respect to those whom he believes has earned it. Due to his rather cynical and mistrusting attitude, he has a hard time making and maintaining friends. This has led him to develop a self-versus world complex leading him to be very self-centered. He usually has a callous and stoic outward appearance. Underneath he harbors a vast amount a raw anger from his trouble childhood that he has kept bottle up which makes him emotionally unstable. When his confronted he tends to be very defensive and quickly attempts to find a way out of the situation.
Strength: In Combat Karsak excels at ranged combat and stealth. He will use his semblance to silence his gun shots and himself. He is a very good combat tactician able to recognizes opportunities and exploit them and when to make a strategic retreat.
Weakness: Karsak hates close quarters combat because he is rather bad at it. He takes a very defensive fighting style when confronted. He will use his shield to defend himself and allows look for a way to retreat when engaged in close combat. He also hates not having a feeling of control and will tend to breakdown if he feels he has no control over the situation.
Semblance: Sonics (control over sound, can only manipulate existing sounds) He will usually use it to cancel out sounds, mainly his rifle, for stealth. He can also use it to throw his voice or other sounds.
