Bruno O. Scordato

Name:Bruno "Otto" Scordato

Gender:Male

Age:17

Personality: Bruno's personality is one that is down to earth. He doesn't have a problem ripping someone's ability or skill in a certain field. This does not mean he will speak without detailing the positive. He's a fair guy and his words and small wisdom he decided to give out shows that there is more underneath him. He just won't let others know what lies within him. He can be relied on when it comes to tasks involving missions or support. Bruno will never place attention onto himself unless necessary. He finds the term of the ones being the most ordinary being the most unique.

While it isn't his forte, he will show the utmost skill and despises failure to the highest degree. Bullying is one thing he does not tolerate, being such a problem that he can't hide his discomfort of the act. When he is by himself, he does not enjoy going out often and prefers to study or doing things to improve his mentality or intelligence. Reading books are more into his likes along with taking certain quotes out of them. The term of having an enlightened mind always interested him.

Bio:Bruno was born like any other child, except that he was a faunus at birth, and was during times where tension were high and being treated like dirt compared to normal humans. They even decided once he actually began to go to school,  that he wore a hat to avoid tipping off his race. The two adults knew better, feeling that they were ruining any chance of him having any true fun by pretending to be someone else, but with the problems occurring at the time, it was best for him. He never really was the person to head out of his house often, mostly just being taught to read and find something to fuel his imagination. When he wasn't busy reading, he spent it for running, never enjoying strength, rather having endurance and stamina.

Growing up, being told to not act like his own race allowed him to grow up in a faster rate than normal, realizing the small discrimination occurring around him. It was simply impossible to ignore and avoid when it pops up frequently. The children at his school as a kid would tease and make fun of someone just like him. It worried him, made him wonder of the possibility of being caught. He made good friends when he was young, but the idea of them staying friends when they found out he was a faunus had him wonder how they react. Growing up, he grabbed a hold of a book that went into detail about dust and Aura. Upon learning about this, he consistently used it every day, his parents not minding it, finding that he wasn't interested in becoming a hunter, where Aura was where it mattered the most.

It never had to come to that, having to transfer when he turned about fifteen years old, growing bitter about the never ending discrimination and personal introspection of living a lie. He transferred to another school, leaving every type of connection he knew, and decided that he didn't care at this point. Why bother trying to impress others if they don't even know who you really are. Thus he stopped wearing his hat, the one that was used as a form of defense. His guard was down for once and before he realized it, Bruno was punished severely.

He was simply bullied, but he didn't care at all. He can live with some punches and bruises. What truly shocked him was the lack of interest of anyone. No one wanted to communicate with him. It was a heavy sense of hopelessness, knowing that no matter how much he attempted to put up a facade, once it was gone, no one would bother trying to help him. Deep down though, he knew that humans couldn't be so evil, so heartless. And he was right, being saved by someone, telling him not to let them push him around. The surprising part was that she was a human, just like the others that wanted to hurt him.

After that moment, he truly started to rebel and fight back. He didn't enjoy violence but the response given from extracting revenge on his enemies was enough to tell others to stop picking on him as he will retaliate. The two would interact often, talking about Aura, dust and speaking more about the powers of them being used together. The thought of a hunter always came up but found it a profession that would be almost impossible for him, not rathere was the white fang going on and she suggested to him dearly not to join them, as they were fighting for the wrong reasons. Bruno didn't think it was important at the time.

The next day, he came back to class, finding out to know that the same person that had given him that push to be more outgoing and not being pushed cause of his race was gone, without a trace. It affected him, being left behind and alone once again but this was during graduation. During this time, he spent doing some deep introspection of himself. He can branch out and move at his will. Would he rather be pushed around by others? Like the school year he endured? Or be feared for his skills alone? The work itself would be tremendous, but the payoff would be just as rewarding. The choice was clear for him. Especially when it wasn't even there to begin with until being introduced.

He transferred once more into Signal, spending his time making his own weapon, along with hiding his faunus identity. He doesn't have qualms about it like he used to, but decides to use it as an advantage for himself. Everyone treats him like a human, help out any misconduct around him while being perceived bright prospect. His simple control and power of his aura was what pushed him ahead of everyone, who was just starting to control their Aura. He easily overpowered when placed in sparring matches. But overall felt winded right after matches. While he was more meant for middle to long range battles, he did learn how to fight up close, though not in the way of a skilled fighter, but in the times where he can't distance himself, he can defend decently against others. He graduated and applied for Beacon, and once he was allowed in, knew that he only had one more step to go.

Physical Appearance: Bruno's appearance isn't on the definition of masculinity, being more skinny and thin, seeming to be more interested in endurance than focused on brute strength. Standing at about five foot and ten inches, he'll come up shorter than some of the other casts, like Cardin or others like his kind. His hair is rather longer than average, having bangs that stretches slightly onto his shoulder and ending on the back of his neck. He weighs at a light one hundred and forty six pounds, furthering his lithe appearance. Bruno's eyes are generally light hazel, reflecting his color. He is actually a faunus, but has a baseball cap that usually covers his ears that would give off such a leading tip of who he truly is. He is not embarrassed by it, but mostly knows the terrorizing acts individuals usually do when it is found out. He is never seen without his hat or a variant of said hat. He is represented by a dog faunus

Clothing/Armor Bruno has no battle attire, using rather simple clothing like a long sleeve sweater, and some flexible cargo sweatpants to allow easier access. Mostly for the fact of how he fights from afar as support than being in the front would give no reason to be wearing such heavy clothing. He generally dislikes uniforms in general, but knows that it would be pointless to complain about such a thing if a dress code was in order. He just hopes that one doesn't need to wear uniforms.

Semblance:Interference; Bruno is capable of preventing opponents from using their Aura, but the task requires him to actively use his own, as well, creating a constant drain on him. May only affect a single target. Exactly one minute, no drainage caused by taking shots. He can still serve a powerful support role and be a force to be reckoned with provided he has proper timing.

Color Represented:Brown

Fairy Tail Represented: Hachiko, dog from Cinderella.

Emblem:PocketWatch

If he's only seventeen, he likely wouldn't know about Beacon's uniform yet. Ruby was an odd case, in that she was advanced two years directly into Beacon at Ozpin's direct invitation. As far as the semblance goes, I'm not quite sure exactly what you mean by it. Detail is there, but it's not very clear to me.

Accepted.
