~~~~~~~~~~~~Victor Wolenfas~~~~~~~~~~~~
Personal Stuff
Name: Victor Wolenfas
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 185lbs
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: Brown
Extras: Given his years on the field, one might assume less of him, as he appears rather downtrodden. His skin has darkened under the sun and his hands calloused. He also has a well-built physique and is naturally very strong, though the clothing he wears makes it more difficult to tell. He also doesn’t’ carry himself like a warrior, nor does he try to show off his strength, however underestimating him is unwise. Victor is a vegetarian, though he does not scorn those who eat meat, he simply has no taste for it.
About Me
Favorite Color: Wheat
((Before you say it, believe it or not, it IS a color. Has it's own Hex code and everything haha))
Weapon of Choice:
Harvest Moon: Victor's primary weapon is that of a scythe; however it is the type intended for reaping wheat and crops which he had fashioned for himself due to the constant attacks upon the farm his family lived upon. It appears worn, well-aged and often used, given the extent he's used the scythe for its intended purpose or using it to fend off beasts it's certainly well loved by him. The weapon itself has very few special properties aside from being virtually indestructible; however the edge never dulls and is so incredibly sharp it can slice through steel as if it were paper. The secret to such a frightening edge is unknown, as Victor will not divulge his secret.
Coil (Golem Companion): Coil is a golem of Victor's creation and one of a kind, and is capable of changing it's size between a house cat and a lion. In doing so, Coil either collects earth and stone around him to increase his mass, or sheds it to reduce it. His strength, agility and endurance increase or decrease according to his size. Given that he is a golem, even if he is sentient, mental compulsions will not work on him. What's more, if Victor falls unconscious (or sleeps) Coil will remain by his side and not budge, but any attempts to harm him will be met with hostility. Coil has his own limitations, if he takes too much damage and "expires" he'll fall apart into a mass of stones and rocks where he "died". However so long as Victor is grounded, several minutes later Coil will crawl out of the ground wherever Victor is as his "soul" is bound to Victor, not the earth which contains it.
When Victor was developing his abilities, he had it in his mind he would be able to create golems to protect the farm if he only tried hard enough. Several attempts later Victor found himself no closer to doing so, that was until an attack upon the farm led to his cat being killed by the stray feathers of a Nevermore. In his grief in losing one of the few friends he actually had his powers went out of control. The ground trembled around him until he heard a familiar sound from within the grave which brought him out of his frenzy. He cast his eyes down and there a cat made of earth, stone and vine crawled out of the grave and peered up at him meowing. From that day forward Coil has been by his side and acts as both ally and friend of Victor.
Coil
((Remove the steampunk elements and you're left with a stone cat golem, finding a better picture is nigh impossible))
Auras/ Semblances:
Demeter’s Blessing: During the years working on the field while his semblance was developing, Victor found himself capable of Chlorokinesis, or the creation and manipulation of plant life. In particular he can utilize this ability to expedite the growth of crops or any other nearby fauna at incredible speeds, smaller plants reaching full maturity within a matter of seconds. However he’s come to realize he can utilize this ability in a combat situation by manipulating roots and vines of that which is around him, allowing for an interesting combat style which balances between using his weapons and his terrain. However there are several limitations to this ability, that which he is manipulating must be within 15 feet of him and his feet must remain in contact with the plant which he’s manipulating or the ground within 15 feet. What’s more what he controls or manipulates is only as strong or durable as it would be naturally, he does not affect the composition of the plant. And finally,
Geokinesis: Victor is capable of manipulating the earth around him, between “plowing” large plots of land in a single movement, or fortifying his body in stone he’s become adept at controlling the earth. He is capable manipulating natural earth, stone, and mineral in his immediate location up to 10 feet away, however he cannot lift earth off the ground greater than 3 feet and the maximum mass he can lift is twice his own weight. Controlling the earth is a taxing ordeal, meaning one can only continue to do so long as they have the resolve. If Victor becomes too injured, weakened, or ill he will be unable to commune with the earth as he typically would, rendering this ability useless until he has recovered. What’s more strong levels of emotion such as rage or sadness respectively strengthen or weaken the effect of his ability but lessen his control in both regards. What’s more, man-made materials such as concrete, purified metals and fabricated ones are incredibly difficult to control at his level of experience.
Likes: Veggies, Animals, Farming, Fishing, Any weather, Being Grounded (feet on the ground)
Dislikes: Large cities, Grimm, closed spaces (claustrophobic), Flying, Dust (He believes it disrupts the balance of nature, thus will not use it.)
Bio
Victor hails from a decently large farm which his family managed for generations in the kingdom of Vale. Residing outside of a small town with a population of only a few thousand, the Wolenfas family supplied the majority of the food which sustained the town. However, given that it was well outside of any large settlements or cities, the threat of Grimm were ever present. There had been a time where his family would hire hunters from Vale, especially during harvest season, but as Victor grew older, his parents soon found he was more than capable of protecting the farm on his own. What's more, given what his elderly grandfather believed was a blessing from the harvest goddess, Victor could hasten the growth of crops exponentially which led to a more frequent harvests.
However, Victor preferred to work the fields with his hands, while his father looked for any means to hasten and ease the work. As such, there were several instances where his father's views on Victor's refusal to allow them to actively rely on his ability to grow crops at will. His grandfather would side with Victor, as he spent the better half of his life tilling the fields by hand and supplying the town with food much as his father before him. Soon there formed a rift between Victor and his father, while his mother tried her hardest to bring the two together.
The rift only grew larger as time passed, their views conflicting. His father turned to dust propelled machinery to harvest and plant crops, while Victor could hardly stand the concept. He did not scorn those who use Dust, as he understands fully the vast amount of uses it possesses. However, in his mind he believed it disrupted the balance between man and earth. By removing the element of respect a person shows by using their own hands to nurture and harvest a crop which the earth provided, to what ends would man go until he need not sully himself with such tasks? It bothered him that soon all his father spoke about was how much easier his job was, and how "he no longer needed to be out on those damned fields" for as long as he once had. Victor thought over the idea of leaving several times, to found his own farm, no matter how small. But if he did, then who would protect the farm in his stead?
However, soon they found themselves with orders for crops from neighboring towns which had recently undergone development, they found the need to grow their farm. Soon three times larger than before, large enough that they needed to hire more field hands, buy more equipment and most importantly, hire huntsman as they once had. One such harvest, at the age of 17, the nevermore had become far more active, so much so that they had called for more help than they normally would. One of these huntsman was also a scout, always keeping their eyes open for fine candidates which either didn't see themselves as such, or never contemplated enrollment in the academy. Victor swiftly took their eye, his movements were deliberate, not a breath of wasted effort as he downed and eliminated the attacking grimm one by one. His golem companion by his side, if Victor hadn't already caught his eye before, this creature certainly would have.
After the harvest had been completed, Victor was approached by the scout and spoken to about potentially enrolling in the academy. While his father outright refused to accept such a proposal, his mother believed it was her son's decision to make. His grandfather agreed and convinced Victor to leave while he subdued Victor's father as Victor packed his things and left with the scout while Coil followed by his side. Part of him didn't want to leave what he knew, but on the other hand, he'd spent his entire life on the farm and hardly knew what it was like to experience life outside of it. To him this was an adventure, one which he was certain was the correct choice.
He arrived in Vale several months before the enrollment period was to begin, so he took the time getting to know the city. At first it was overwhelming, the town which he would visit nearby his home before was hardly anything compared to this. Roads stretched out for what seemed like miles, and the smell of the sea air was definitely a change for him. He turned 18 a month before he ultimately was enrolled and accepted into Beacon.

((My fourth and final student character, depending on how things go, I may put Johann into temporary retirement if the team doesn't continue here soon.
I have plans for an "evil" character and a professor at a later date.))
