CHARACTERName: Maestema Inritus
Age: 17 , born in 24th day of the 12th month.
Species and Gender: Human Male
Occupation: 1st year student at Beacon Academy,
Appearance:Maestema has a slim build and mostly shorter than most males (and females) of his age, standing 5 feet and 3 inches, and weighs only 107 pounds. He always wears a wide grin in his face, revealing his sharp canines. Which most people think its creepy. He has white unkempt hair, and sharp facial tattoos located at both sides of his cheeks. He also has a pair of somewhat pointy ears, though that just might be a birth defect.
Maestema’s usually wears black sleeveless shirt that has a hoodie and dark blue jeans; arm ornaments with spikes that are like bracelets; and black leather belt, he also wears these as his combat uniform. MAestema sometimes wears school uniform, though very rarely, since he can’t move so freely in those outfit. In some occasion, you can see him wearing a casual shirt with a design print (usually a cat… because everyone loves cats… ฅ(^・ω・^ฅ) ).
History:Maestema came from a family of scientists. His parents are one of the founders of the RKB Corps, an underground organization who is researching about the creatures of Grimm. Their base of operation located deep into the mountains, far south of Vale. They are conducting various Grimm experimentation, finding out ways to communicate with these creatures. Even though the creatures of Grimm show to have no sentience, organization believe that there is some way to control these vile creatures. They conducted experiments on both humans and faunas, trying to find out a way to reach out to these creatures called Grimm. They invented these so-called "enhancers", a medicine which heightens ones' mental capability for a short period of time. However, the side effects of this "enhancers" are strictly confidential. They used the "enhancers" on their human and fauna test subjects. Of course, the test subjects are volunteers from the said organization. They put the test subject in one closed room, and placed a recently captured Grimm in another room. The two rooms are separated with thick fiber glass. A helmet-like device is worn by the human or fauna test subject. The goal is for the human to communicate with the Grimm, trying to find out what it's thinking, and ultimately, controlling it. They believe that if they found out a way of controlling these creatures of grim, they'll be able to create a better world. However, the "enhancers" failed, and most of the test subject went insane, some ended up dead. Despite their failures, the organization still believe that they could succeed in their project. With no volunteers in the organization, Maestema's parents volunteered their own child.
Maestema is a special kind of child. His mental capability is already above average. His parents have been honing his mental capability since he was five years old. He's been raised as a failsafe of the organization. They began to restart the experiment again, now with Maestema as the test subject at the age of eleven. With the help of the "enhancers", Maestema was able to get a respond from the creature. The Beowulf on the other side of the glass seem to be calmer. However, other scientist said it was a fluke, so they continued on with the experiment. Two months passed, and the experiment showed little progress. It only got worse when Maestema's mind became unstable. When left alone in his room, he keeps writing down scribbles on the floor and on the walls. When his parents tried to talk to him, he remains silent and won't give any response. Then they decided to put the experiment in hiatus, until Maestema's mental condition stabilizes. After a month, Maestema’s condition slowly recovers. However, an incident happened at the facility. There was a massive breach, and the captured Grimms were let loose. No one knew what caused the breach. It could’ve been a traitor within the organization. The organization failed to contain the situation and leads to their downfall. In the midst of the chaos, Maestema tries to escape the facility. Coincidentally, he came across his parents, who are currently fighting off a number of Beowolves. Maestema’s parents didn’t hold long enough, and were slaughtered by the Beowolves. Confused and scared, he ran away as the Beowolves tore his parents’ limbs. He manages to escape by entering a vent, big enough for him to enter, but small enough for a Grimm to fit in. After a trekking through the vents of the facility for a while Maestema manage to get out of the facility. He ran towards the woods as fast as he can. But before he could reach the woods, he was hit at the back of his chest by a stray feather of a Nevermore, and before he knew it, he stumbled on the ground, he was in deep pain. He struggles as he tries to stay conscious, and tries to stand up, but his body won’t move. He’s in deep pain and it feels like his mind is going to explode. Everything he sees is covered in red, everything he hears are screams of terror. He keeps hearing a voice inside his head, although he doesn’t quite understand what it’s saying, it keeps repeating and repeating… until his mind went blank… he lost consciousness.
When Maestema woke up, he found himself in a small clinic. He can’t remember what happened after he got hit by the Nevermore’s feather. All he remembers is that he’s in deep pain that night. As Maestema tried to get up, the door opens, and a man with a lab coat comes in. The man introduces himself to Maestema and explains what happened. The man’s name is Dr. Soma, he is a local town doctor. Dr. Soma was travelling from one town to the next until he found Maestema unconscious at the roadside. Dr. Soma immediately approached Maestema and checked his body for fatal wounds or injury. Surprisingly, Maestema has no wounds or injuries, despite that his clothing is tattered and the back of his shirt seems like it’s been pierce by a sharp object. Dr. Soma brought Maestema with him to his clinic.
After explaining what happened to Maestema, Dr. Soma didn’t get any reaction from the boy. Maestema just sat there, lost in thought. Dr. Soma decided to give Maestema shelter for a while, until he recovers. The first few days are troublesome, since Maestema have no appetite, and sometimes didn’t eat the meal that was served to him. However, little by little, Maestema recovered with the help of Dr. Soma. The doctor keeps him company and tells him stories. Dr. Soma takes a liking to Maestema and decided to adopt the boy. And Maestema lived a normal life in a small town.
The RKB Corps however, was founded out by the authorities due the massive breach. The underground organization was shut down for good. The survivors of the breach were captured and imprisoned, and the government demolished the facility that the organization was operating in.
Months pass and Maestema continues to live his life peacefully. He worked as Dr. Soma’s Assistant at the clinic, running errands for the doctor. In his free time, he strolls the streets of the town and observes the people passing by. He likes observing people a lot, it became his pastime. Dr. Soma encouraged Maestema to enter a combat school near their town. Maestema agrees as he doesn’t have anything to do anyway. And so, Maestema entered a combat school. Surprisingly, he excels in school, with an above average grade in physical level and excellent grade in mental level. He graduated combat school with not much difficulty. Dr. Soma is preparing to depart as he is heading to Mistral, to do some important job. Dr. Soma suggested to Maestema to enter Beacon Academy, a prestigious school that trains hunters and huntresses. Maestema, couldn’t really care less about become a hunter, so he told Dr. Soma that he doesn’t want to enter Beacon, and he wants to be a doctor, like him. Dr. Soma was surprised at Maestema’s response and asked him why he wanted to become a doctor. Maestema just shrugged his shoulders and told the doctor that he wants to know more about humans. Dr. Soma was amused at Maestema’s reply, and told the boy that he will make Maestema into a doctor once Maestema became a hunter. Maestema asks Dr. Soma why does he need to be a hunter first before becoming a doctor. Dr. Soma replied that one must learn to protect others first before he can save them. With not much of a choice, Maestema agrees to the deal and the next morning departs to Vale to enter Beacon Academy.
Personality:Maestema is a strange boy, he stands out way too much and sometimes his attitude might get to anyone's nerves. He's always optimistic and shows his wide grin on his face. Though, he can be casual on some occasions, whenever talking to a person with a higher status who he recognizes as a respectable individual. He is also confident enough about his capabilities. He is manipulative, and likes to study human behaviors. He tends to manipulate others to have a conflict as he enjoys the scenery as two individuals fights or argues.
Aside from that, he is also somewhat a psychopath. He has a weird liking for humans (referring to both human and fauna), and has the habit of 'observing' them. Though, he doesn't really care if a human is killed in front of him, in fact it amuses him. He thinks of it as an “experiment” for his future studies as a doctor. He would like to find out why humans are such fragile beings, and would like to study their deaths in order to create a solution for them to live longer.
In some circumstances, he shows that he really cares for humans, though, he doesn’t really admit it, but he wants to be doctor in order to save humans. Although, being a doctor and watching someone to get killed just for an “experiment” doesn’t really go well together, that’s been the twisted side of his personality that he can’t hide. Though, he shows his care for human child specifically, he has trouble speaking to children and sometimes hold awkward conversations with them, and he’ll save them whenever in trouble. He believes, kids are the future of humanity, and for his observation to continue, these children shall live to see their future.
Despite all his twisted psychotic side, he claims that he really loves humans. As crazy as he seems, deep down inside, Maestema only seeks acceptance from other people.
Aura and Semblance:Maestema’s aura is color black, which appears to be smokes coming out of his body. His aura gives him a tremendous boost in regeneration, however it lacks in defense and have lower shielding capabilities than others. His regeneration capability is able to instantly heal minor wounds and quickly fix broken bones. His shielding capability is only able to defend against normal attacks, and a heavy attack can easily send him flying.
Heart Eater – Maestema covers himself in dark shadows. When entering this state, Maestema is able to sense negative emotion around him. He gains strength depending on the number of negative emotions near his proximity. The more negative emotions he can sense, the higher strength he receives. He gains 20-30% (depending how much negative emotion a person has; ex. The angrier the person is, the more strength Maestema gains) increased strength per person. Maestema can gain up to 200% increase in strength. These emotions include but not limited to; fear, hate, sadness, anger, hate, despair. The area of effect of his semblance is within a 20-meter radius around Maestema.
However, when in this state, Maestema slowly loses rationality, unable to control his body. The more negative emotions he senses, the more he loses his rationality. His semblance lasts for ten minutes and cannot be deactivated, and once Maestema turns back into his original state, his body is unable to move for fifteen minutes, making him vulnerable.
Combat Behavior:Maestema prefer to watch at the sidelines as other people fight. He rather “observe” the battle than getting in it. However, when engaged in a fight, Maestema is ruthless and vicious. He usually starts his attack charging in his opponent and relentlessly swinging his blade at his target. He is also quick on his reflex, while dodging an attack, he usually counters, with a swift kick or slash. He also likes taunting the enemy as much as he can. And isn’t afraid to fight head on, even if he knows that he is at a disadvantage. Maestema don’t follow a combat “strategy”, rather, he acts on his instincts, adapting to the current situation. He is always full of surprises, and goes all out. However, his rash approach leads him to needlessly spending his aura, and draining it down. He also has troubles in determining whenever he’s in pain, making him vulnerable to deadly attacks and always putting his life at risk.
