About The Character

Status: active huntsman, alive

Occupation: huntsman, former student

Personality

A generally charming guy, and he’s easy to get along with. He’s pretty much an open book and enjoys getting to know as many people as he can. Ebony has a certain wanderlust and wants to travel everywhere he can, as well as learn what he can. Upon first meeting, he doesn’t seem like the academic type, but he genuinely loves learning, despite his average grades. He’s never gotten along well with school and prefers to learn things practically than from a book. He’s confident and knows he’s attractive, and uses this to chat with girls (and occasionally guys). 

Likes: water, swimming, being outdoors, sparring, practical exams

Dislikes: reading & homework, generally dry/hot places

Fatal Flaw(s): Naivety. He doesn’t really understand how the “real world” works and his want (almost need) to keep everyone happy all the time makes him a little easy to manipulate. 

Strengths: long range combat, communication, talking his way out of tough situations

Weaknesses: close quarter combat, video games, essays

Weapon

Weapon Name: Arciere

Weapon Description: glorified water gun. His weapon is in two pieces that attach to become a bow. The string and pieces that hold it to the rest of the bow come off and attach to his belt, and with the pull of a lever it turns into a gun that he loads with water. His semblance makes his ammo so he rarely runs out. 

Relationship With Others

Reputation: People generally enjoy talking to him. He gets decent grades and teachers like him when he’s paying attention, though they don't appreciate his enabling of Coal’s antics.

Friends: His friends enjoy his company and he’s typically the life of the party, while also being a voice of reason. He’s not likely to get into too much trouble, but a little danger is good for the soul. He’s an enabler and will let people do stupid things and help pick up the pieces later. 

Team: The people closest to him. He and Coal get along famously, with Ebony being able to talk him out of trouble pretty often. He feels like Matina is hard to read, but he cares about her like a little sister. Roza…his feelings about her are quite complicated in the beginning. Lots of good complicated feelings though. Over time, they become more than just teammates and partners, but fall in love and no one’s ever made him happier. 

Enemy(ies): He’s a skilled fighter and doesn’t back down from a fight, so if a rival is challenging him, he’ll be ready to go.

Semblance: Water manipulation. He can create shapes out of water near/around him, pulling water off or out of things nearby. He uses it mostly to make ammo for himself, but also to entertain friends with miniature dolphins flying around the room. 

History

Ebony grew up in one of the smaller towns inside Vale, dreading the school year and enjoying summers like any average kid. Typically, he spent summer at his aunt's house, swimming and playing in the lake she lived on. There wasn’t an evening he came in without his fingers pruned into raisins, and he didn’t want it any other way. 

He decided, after years of filling his head with fairy tales and stories from his mother, he wanted to become a huntsman around 12, wanting to live a life of danger and adventure. Whatever he got wrapped up in along the way, he could figure it out later.

Trivia

Really good swimmer & was a lifeguard over summers as an older teenager for some extra money
