Blaine Azuria

"Vengeance is for those who dwell in a tormented past. Overcoming the obstacles of hatred and retribution is the only key to grant true happiness." "I figured that I had to change somehow, so I started with my clothes."

- Blaine to Rina Rouge after changing his outfit

Appearance
He has a slim male figure. Blaine wears a black shirt with a blue star in the center. Over that, he has a brown vest and a blue scarf. He wears black gloves and blue shorts and two belts that work more as holsters rather than to keep up his pants. He also wears long white socks and a black pair of sneakers. The pair of glasses that Blaine wears aren't just a fashion statement; he has really bad eyesight without them. Underneath his shirt, Blaine has a tattoo with his emblem on the right side of his chest.

Personality
Blaine is quite the jokester in the group whether making a funny comment, playing a prank, or being a random target of hilarious accidents. Most of his actions, whether intentional or not, often get his whole team laughing but they sometimes get on Amy's nerves a bit when taken too far.

He wasn't always this friendly however; in the past, Blaine was a quiet and dark person. The only things that came out of his mouth were very pessimistic remarks. His personality now isn't an act; he truly enjoys his life and has his friends to thank for it.

There are times where Blaine acts very friendly towards woman, but he's not the ladies man you think he is. His kindness toward women, is just him plainly being friendly mostly because you could say he's, "batting for their team". Blaine doesn't necessarily hide this fact at all, but people still find it hard to imagine once they find out.

He's very out going and he can get really compassionate about things such as technology, games, and competitions. Mostly Blaine enjoys swimming to keep himself in shape as well as running track. He takes more of an agility and stamina approach on training rather than attack power, though despite that there are times where he'll try to laze around and do nothing.

Weapons & Abilities


Blaine's weapons of choice are twin pistols named "Blaze Gemini".

Blaze Gemini
These twin pistols of Blaine's are powered by Fire Dust rounds with an azure color alteration. They won't kill you directly, but can still cause quite a bit of burn damage. Getting close to him might be your best option in battle, but Blaine can utilize his pistols to block some physical attacks.

Other than using standard rounds, Blaine also carries a small supply of Dust crystals with him of the same element. If an enemy seems to be resisting his bullets, then he'll resort to more explosive tactics (akin to Roman firing a blast at the Dust he threw to Ruby's feet).

Aura and Semblance
Blaine's Aura is a sky blue in color. His Semblance is being debated upon at the moment.

 Basic Abilities : Blaine is a bit of an athletic with high agility and stamina; perfect for long battles and continuous dodging. One of Blaine's important assests to team AMBR is his brain, which he uses to come up with all sorts of strategies.

The one thing Blaine lacks in is good strength. He's built like a twig, so it might be hard for him to last in a fight alone against a heavy hitter; in those situations he'd rather just make a strategic retreat.

Backstory
As Blaine was growing up, he had a nice peaceful life with his parents. They'd show him the ropes of

Blaine has decided ever since that day, he'd train and get stronger to defeat all the monsters in the world and find out who that mysterious person was. He eventually was accepted into Beacon where he could become a Hunter, and was assigned to Team AMBR. Blaine tried not to get close to his teammates at first; he even told them "If I decide to make friends with you, what would happen if one of us died?" before they embarked on their first mission. After spending time with his new commerades, Blaine managed to regain a sense of happiness which gave him a new drive for becoming a Hunter. He decides that instead of pursuing them for revenge, he would help slay monsters in order to protect what's dear to him, his friends Amber Thysteine, Miles Marron, and Rina Rouge. But the mystery of the figure on that night still remains in his mind.

Blaine's Themes


Blaine's Emblem
Blaine's emblem is a simple and literal blue shooting star. The star is a reference to his team color and the flames around it are a reference to his guns which sport a flame and a star on them as well (yes it's a flame. I'm bad at drawing!!! XD). It's a symbol representing his compassion, saying that he'll fight with a burning passion. His emblem can be seen on the back of his vest and on a tattoo on his chest. Other places they could go would be on his guns and on his shirt (replacing the star there already).

Extras

 * Blaine was originally drawn out to be Mason Donovan (another team AMBR member) but then became a different person entirely.


 * Blaine's last name is a reference to the color Azure which is a variation of sky blue.
 * Oddly, his first name actually means yellow. Look for yourself.
 * Just because of that, his least favorite color is yellow. :P
 * Blaine was originally supposed to wield a katana that uses a blue flame Dust ability and have plain blue hair.
 * Though as bullets don't really have much of an effect on a hunter/huntress he's (meaning me) trying to implicate a melee function into his battle style (so I might but a sword in idk yet).


 * His personality was first intended to be a lot more stern, rather than a jokester.


 * Before dying the ends of his hair blue, Blaine used to have plain black hair back when his personality was more grim.
 * His outfit back then was a long blue scarf, black jeans, black sweater, and royal blue sneakers.


 * Blaine has a bit of an obsession with technology. He crafted his own pistols and created a new staff for Rina as a gift.
 * The name for his pistols comes from Gemini (the twin brothers in astrology), his flame abilities, and the team's Solar System Motiff.


 * His fighting style is kind of based off a mix of Death the Kid from Soul Eater (except Blaine holds his guns the "right" way).
