About Me
*Favorite Color: Blue Pearl
Weapon of Choice: Damocles' Demise - Automatic Double Crossbow / Kukri / Razor Wire The kukri component can be detached while the bow and trigger remain holstered. A very fine piece of razor sharp wire connects the kukri component to Simon's belt. This allows the kukri to be used as a retrievable throwing weapon, as well as a counter balance to allow wire the to ensnare and shred opponents, or to be used as a grappling device. The crossbow component can utilize dust capsules for various purposes or dense bolts for pure stopping power.
Auras/ Hover - Simon can use his aura to levitate off the ground. Pros - Allows Simon to erase his footfalls completely and glide in a single direction, reducing sound caused by clothes and other movements. Cons - Simon can only hover a few inches off the ground and cannot move faster than a slow walk. He must disable his aura to jump or make a rapid movement.
Semblances: Echolocation - Simon can emit a low frequency sound wave and see his surroundings. Pros - This enables him to bounce sound off of walls and see around corners and other obstructions. Cons - The frequency can be heard by Grimm and fellow faunus and may act as a beacon for such enemies should Simon use it for too long.

*Bio
~Paid to kill. Die to lose. Hunted. Hunter. Which are you?
This is Simon's family motto. Well, his clan's, really. Simon was raised an orphan by a band of mercenary faunus. When Simon was little, he was trained in stealth and thievery. He grew up a rapscallion, generally causing mischief without ever being found out. When he turned twelve, his clan required him go on a Grimm hunt. He scouted a Beowolf for several hours, and, after flawlessly sneaking up on it, couldn't bring himself to kill it.
He returned to his clan's caravan, claiming to have killed the Grimm. Unfortunately, the Beowolf followed Simon back with it's pack and killed several of the clan's members, including some elderly and children. Simon recognized the Beowolf that attacked the caravan and ran away after the confusion, disgusted with himself at the death he indirectly caused.
Simon fled to Vale where he made a living as a street urchin, picking pockets and getting the attention of some local gangs as well as the White Fang. He ran with both for awhile but always vanished whenever a job that involved killing came up. He is currently wanted by two street gangs and has a price on his head by the White Fang. He is a frequent visitor and courier for Junior's club and was present when Yang roughed up the place. He's had a crush on her since, much to Junior's chagrin.
During the Grimm outbreak in Vale, Simon finally unleashed his killing potential. Forced into a corner, he grabbed the nearest weapon he could find (a butcher knife) and started killing Beowolves. He went through half a dozen before he realized he was actually smiling. He had found something he was good at. After the fighting stopped, he swore to himself that he would never revel in killing again, but took pride in the fact that he was good at it.
Simon went to Junior and had the club owner set him up with a gunsmith. The Damocles' Demise was custom built to suite his stealthy style. The cross bow gives Simon range, as well as retrievable ammo, and with many dust components at his disposal, Simon can handle almost any situation. Simon prefers the kukri and razor floss component, though, being so proficient with the butcher knife and all.
