CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Celeste Rosso
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Race: [X] Human [ ] Faunus
Animal Traits (Omit if human):

Biography: Celeste Rosso was born in Atlas to two very career oriented parents, her mother a high ranking officer in the Atlesian Navy and her father a member of the Special Operatives Unit. In fact, most if not everyone who knew her parents were quite surprised to learn that they were having a child, people having assumed that they were much too busy with their jobs to have children. Whether or not this was true for Celeste growing up is debatable, as her own childhood was somewhat unconventional compared to most peoples.

Since both of her parents were in the military they were presented with the problem of how they would be around to take care of their daughter, and since neither were willing to compromise their careers to do it there was only one option left, take her every where’s they went. From a very young age every day became take your kid to work day for Celeste, as her parents absolutely refused to hire a nanny or leave her with other members of the family. After the pulling of a few strings and the cashing in of a few favors her parents secured the permission for her to be able to go most places with them. Though she spent the majority of her time growing up with her mother traveling the world in the Atlesian Navy, as her father was usually off on missions.

Celeste's Aura and Semblance developed fairly early in her life, with the results drawing the attention of the Atlesian government. Seeing an opportunity, the government and military quickly provided her with specialist trainers to help develop and control her Semblance/Aura, even when she started to go to Atlas Academy. The fact that both her parents were highly respected members of the military and had been training her for life as a Huntress had only helped her in this regard. So nothing really changed for Celeste in a way, the only difference was that she had a few more private trainers now helping to mold her into the perfect fighting machine.

This molding of her into a perfect little soldier uncovered a very dark side of her Semblance though, a split personality her trainers came to call the Rosso's Doppelganger. The interesting thing was that it failed to appear in the first few years of Celeste's training, but as her life became more and more strictly ordered by military life, her doppelganger made her first appearance. At the age of twelve, her trainers decided that it would be a good idea to gather up some training robots, disguise them as Grim, and conduct a surprise exercise while Celeste slept. The terror she felt in the first few moments of the exercise activated both her Semblance and Rosso's Doppelganger. The ten Grim dummies they sent in were destroyed in no time and the little girl they had known as Celeste was now literally tearing her room apart and putting dents in the reinforced metal door that separated her living quarters from the rest of the ship with her bare fists. The ensuing fight between Rosso's Doppelganger and her trainers left two of the four severely injured, though the other two were in the end able to restrain and put her to sleep using one of their Semblances. The results of this accident sent Celeste's parents into overdrive on the training concerning the control of her Semblance and emotions, though they had to get new trainers as the reprimand handed out by Celeste's mother for not informing her of the exercise beforehand was quite severe.

Her move to Atlas Academy when she turned of age contained both changes and constants for her. The biggest change was that she was no longer under the tutelage and watch of her parents and the scores of military personnel associated with them. Though this meant anything but new found freedom, as Atlas Academy was but switching one piece of scenery for another in reality for Celeste. Which is quite understandable seeing as how Celeste spent her entire life in the military and Atlas Academy is by extension a part of that military. It was at the beginning of her second year at Atlas Academy Celeste Rosso decided to stir things up a little bit in her life, which was quite rare, and applied for a student transfer program to another Huntsman Academy. The program had been created several years before to further help with creating ties between the different kingdoms of Remnant. It wasn't long before she learned that her transfer had been accepted and she was on her way Beacon Academy in no time.

Personality: Celeste has done nothing but eat, sleep, and live Atlesian military life since before she could walk, so it's pretty understandable that that reflects heavily on how she acts. Rules are set in stone for her, deviation is incomprehensible unless the scenario calls for it and the rules impede the seizing of an objective; her life growing up has also made her very ordered person, everything has its place and function. Overall this can make her seem to be a very stuffy and somewhat unpleasant, though there is a little quirk that has been starting to break free within her. As each year goes by Celeste finds herself feeling more and more constrained or suppressed even, with her request for a transfer playing into this. So while she is still pretty stiff, she finds herself letting loose more and more often. Despite her stiff ways Celeste tries her best to be friendly and courteous to all she meets, though this can easily be strained by some people; and her resulting temper can be a great thing to behold, as long as your not on the receiving end that is.

Appearance: Celeste is a little over average height, standing at 6' tall, with night black hair and emerald green eyes. She is quite slender looking but packs a mean punch as she's mostly made of muscle and surprisingly strong. She mostly wears clothing that are various shades of white or grey, her fashion sense yet again coming from a military background. Celeste also seems to have some skills with makeup, though she keeps it very minimal for most cases.

If your having trouble picturing her just look up Asami Sato from Legend of Korra, that image is what's pretty much running around in my head at the moment.

COMBAT INFORMATION
Weapon: The Twins
Appearance: The Twins are a pair a short swords
Capabilities: Celeste made The Twins to be a very versatile weapon/weapons, having been taught from an early age that the more your weapon can do to kill a Grim the better. Beyond their obvious form as two blades, The Twins can transform into three other different forms of weaponry. One of these forms is a pair of duel wielding pistols, which can in turn by combined to create a relatively short rifle for more long ranged combat scenarios. The last transformation involves combining the two short swords to create a large two handed great-sword.

Semblance: Goddess of War, Celeste's semblance takes her body and throws it into maximum butt kicking overdrive, just imagine one of those crank power flashlights where you turn the handle to charge the battery. Well then imagine turning on the light and cranking the handle as hard and fast as you possibly can, which causes the light to glow super bright for as long as you’re doing this. Something similar happens to Celeste's body; her speed, strength, agility, etc are ramped up to almost unimaginable proportions by activating her semblance. The problem though is that she isn't a battery, her body isn't meant to handle and store this energy like a battery would, so the moment the handle stops turning her light all but goes out. Now, depending on how long or how much punishment she took while her semblance was active determines just how messed up she's going to be afterwards. This can range from being pretty tired and her Aura heavily depleted to being on deaths door, or actually dead. This makes her ability a very one shot wonder kind of thing, as though it allows her to kick loads of butt, she requires a relatively large amount of time to recover afterwards, and even in the best end case scenario's she isn't much use in a fight once she's deactivated it.

Due to years of training from both her parents and trainers Celeste is able to activate her Semblance at will and is also able to control outbursts for the most part. Really intense bouts of emotions though such as anger and fear increase the possibility of an accidental activation of her Semblance, which creates a whole other set of problems. It has been observed that when her Semblance is activated through emotional duress that a split personality is created. Normally Rosso is still herself and in complete control of what her body does in this state, but as mentioned above someone else takes over when it is activated by accident, and this person is not friendly at all. This other personality can only be described as wild and insane, people who were friends to Celeste become enemies while enemies become friends in its eyes for example; or everyone becomes a target no matter who or what they are. It is not without intelligence though, as it recognizes the constraints of Celeste's body not being able to withstand long periods under the influence of her Semblance. So while it will push her body to it's absolute limits, it would never consciously put the host in danger of dying from it. That said her Semblance has never been accidentally activated in real world situations, only within the controlled environment of training.

This personality is supposed to represent the extreme opposite of order, something that is a staple in Celeste's lifestyle.

RP Example (link or one shot):

Couldn't directly link an example of my most recent stuff so I copy pasted

Anana Tikaani stared out across the bay from the pier she was standing on towards the Teen Titans Tower with some nervousness of the change in her life that was about to take place, yet again. Joining a team of people again after a little over a year of flying solo throughout the world could take some getting used to; especially the responsibility of having to watch someones back, and having to trust others to watch yours in the middle of a fight. While one year may not seem like a lot of time for some people, for Anana it had seemed like an eternity being out and about in the wide world, a world she had admittedly thought very little of beforehand in more ways than one. Her older self had been pretty ethnocentric even before the war had started, and that whole fiasco had in the end turned her into a very hateful person towards anyone who was not of the "people".

She chuckled to herself as she thought back to that time just after the war, when the rebuilding and reconciliation programs had just begun and N.G.O's along with the Canadian government were all over the place. Seeing all those outsiders walking around had pissed her off pretty bad, and it had only gotten worse when people seemed to accept them as trying to help. It wasn't long after that that she got into a fight with the Council of Elders about the whole thing of accepting the help of the very people who had just tried to subjugate them. After that didn't go the way she had wanted it to Anana locked herself away in her room for two whole days, slowly making the powder keg she had already become bigger. It was then that the Three Tailed Wolf revealed itself to her and convinced the girl to go on a self-discovering journey across the globe. Now, one year later, she was standing on concrete pier staring out at her future a different person. Well, for the most part anyway, she still had to catch herself from saying things sometimes and she was still an angry person, but now she was angry at all the right people.

Taking a deep breath, Anana closed her eyes and let herself go loose, going into an almost meditative state. She loved the feel of the sea wind whipping across her face, the taste of the familiar salty spray from the water coating her lips, and even the low murmur of the people around her was comforting in its own way. Passerby's may have given the girl only a few seconds worth of their attention as there didn't look to be anything that remarkable about her, in fact she looked like your average adventurous young adult, backpacking across the country with a big ass hiking backpack strapped across her back and a metallic suit case in hand. If they were to pay a few more seconds of thought though they would notice her rocking physique, proudly displayed by her loose hanging muscle shirt that had "Sexy Lifeguard on Watch" written across the front and back. Though she wore some pretty baggy grey sweatpants and running shoes, anybody could tell she was just as ripped down under as she was up top. To finish off her self-described snazzyness were a pair of what she considered to be some bitchin sunglasses that she had snatched from some goons a few days back.

With a sigh Anana slowly turned around and glided back down the pier, still in her semi-meditative state. She stopped abruptly though at the piers halfway point, and a smirk began to spread across dark toned face. Tightening her grip on the suitcase, which contained her hero stuff, she said,

"Let's go make a change then," to herself under her breath.

With that she took off sprinting back towards the end of the pier, trying to get as much momentum as possible for what she was going to do next. As she reached the very end of the pier, Anana brought her feet to together, and in the blink of an eye gathered a small whirlwind of fast moving air under and around her feet, with which she used to launch herself into the air.

"Wooooooooooowwwwwhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooo!" Echoed across the bay as Anana caught some serious air time and seemingly flew high above the water. Holy shit! I'm getting pretty good at this! She thought to herself, a smile pretty much breaking her face in half. She was not in fact flying though, and gravity was starting to reassert itself on the situation. As she began to descend, Anana calculated that she had about three quarters of the way left to swim, which was more than fine with her as she loved the water. As she got closer and closer to her landing, the Tikaani girl noticed that just down and to her left was an open topped tourist ferry, with the tourists in question fully focused on her. The split second decisions that she made next would stay seared in those people's minds for the rest of their lives. Smiling roguishly, the teen twisted her upper body to face the boat and flexed the guns for all they were worth just as she flew past them. Though the encounter only lasted a few seconds, it was later reported a ferry full of people were checked into Jump City Hospital suffering from various cases of shock, hysteria, and excessive swooning.

Anana's little vanity stunt nearly cost her a trip to the hospital as well though, and she was just able to bend the water up into a raised whirlpool looking thing to help catch her and soften the landing. That done, the teen started to swim towards her new home, using her control of the water to propel her at a pretty good clip. Reaching the concrete pier for the island, Anana pulled herself up and onto it, where she proceeded to pull the water out of her clothing and backpack. It didn't take her long to reach the entrance of the tower from there, and the computer security quickly identified her before opening the nearby door. As she made her way into the building she cast an appreciative eye about the place before looking for some kind of floor plan, having misplaced the map given to her by the Justice League. As she thought there was nothing just lying around that could help her so she started to look about for an elevator. She found it in no time and began to peruse through the options listed.

Roof, nope, hmmm not that either... Where the hell are... rec area?... Maybe there's someone there I could ask about what to do, Anana thought to herself as she smashed the button with her thumb. Upon the elevator door opening at her destination, the girl warily stuck her head out the door and scanned the hallway for anybody. Not seeing anyone Anana stepped out and began to make her way down the said hallway in search of any other souls lurking about the building. It didn't take her long to find someone though as a door just down the hallway whooshed open and a short blonde girl came out and started to head in the other direction. Quickly followed up by another girl, who was much taller than both the Blonde and Anana, and was sporting some pretty messy looking brown hair.

Anana stood frozen to the spot, with one foot in midair, as she watched the two begin to make their way down the hallway, having seemingly not seen her. As it became obvious that the two weren't going to look back Anana's face formed into a frown and she gave a little "hmph". Well... Looks like I'll have to take the initiative, she thought to herself before beginning to jog towards the two and yelling,
"Hey! Yo! Bounjour! You ladies here for the badass heroes convention?" at their backs.

Did you read the rules? Yep

No way in hell I'll get to national honor or international honor unless my school suddenly does like triple or quadruple the amount of shows a year.
