General Information
SPECIES: HumanThe Weapon
GENDER: Male
AGE: 28
OCCUPATION: Freelance Hunter, Aspiring Professor
ATRONACH: Reshiram
WEAPON'S NAME:Morning Star & Midnight Millions
WEAPON'S HISTORY: The Morning Star and Midnight Millions were originally the two revolvers used by the Abaddon family’s greatest hunter from long ago. There were many rumors of these weapons– some say they drain the blood of those that have fallen by them. Others say that the hunter who used these weapons was the devil incarnate.
Since the passing of this great hunter, however, these pistols have been stored and were jealously guarded by the entire family. But, sometime after the hunter’s death, the family split, with one half joining the notorious Silver Hand, and the other half fighting against them. The weapons were split as well, with Midnight Millions in the hands of the pro-Silver Hand side, and the Morning Star with the other side.
Terrence ran away to the pro-Faunus side of the Abaddon family, now known as the Eumann Family. He managed to get to safety, and, through years of training, received the Morning Star as a rite of passage, and is to become the upcoming head of the Eumann Family once his uncle passed away. Midnight Millions was retrieved after the fall of the Abaddon family, and Terrence is now the second person to use the pair since the original owner.
UTILITY & APPEARANCE: Morning Star is a silver-plated .45 long colt with a design based off of a number of different revolvers. Its cylinder can hold up to 6 .45 caliber bullets and has a break-top reloading mechanism. (Link Here). Midnight Millions is basically a black version of Morning Star. Beyond the fact that the pistols are insanely tough enough to fire multiple Dust-enhanced and pure Dust rounds with no problem, and have rather long and bulky-looking barrels, there really isn’t anything special about these pistols at first glance.
These pistols, however, hold a secret. Put together side by side, and a mechanism will transform the pistols into a double-barrel shotgun. The six-shot chambers turn into three-shot ones, each with the size of a small slug. A more complex mechanism will transform both guns into a one-of-a-kind sniper rifle, which will be able to handle even more potent .45 caliber dust bullets to match the power of conventional anti-material bullets.
Along with that, it also comes with extras that fit in a belt that goes around his hips, such as a high-tech scope, sound repulsing ear plugs, and a bipod. There's also space for 10 special sniper rounds, and 20 special dust buckshot slugs. In regular, casual clothing, he holds 36 regular bullets, and 24 dust bullets. His red coat holds double the amount of regular bullets.

HISTORY: There was a time where the Abaddon family was known as the family of protectors, keeping the Grimm at bay, back when Vale was but a humble town. Now, however, they are a feuding family fighting over the rights of the Faunus, and for dominance.
Terrence was born to the man in charge of the family siding with the Silver Hand. His father was ever so forceful in his belief that all Faunus were more animals than anything else, and it showed. However, he was a pragmatic man, so he made slaves out of these Faunus instead of outright killing them like some from the Silver Hand would. Therefore, he took over as the ringmaster of the biggest Faunus slave trade there was. Terrence, however, wasn’t so hot with this. He had seen Faunus belittled, shoved around, hit… The other family members saw this as their right, but he saw the anguish and anger behind the Faunus’ eyes.
He couldn’t very well rise up against their father, though. Oh no, he was far too young and weak to do anything, other than help the Faunus when his family wasn’t looking. He didn’t do much else than help until they saw their father commit a crime so horrid, that he didn’t come out of his rooms for days. It was at this point Terrence had enough, and began looking for ways to help the Faunus escape.
Slowly, but surely, he managed to trickle a Faunus or two out every other week or so, making it look like the guards were being careless and such. However, it was during one such operation that he was found, and taken to his father. With an unholy rage, his father sent him away to a lab, where he was put with Faunus children.
There, he was experimented on like a lab rat, being picked apart and put back together, and always on the teetering edge of life and death. The lab he was in focused on biological body enhancement. He was the prime candidate for body enhancement using Faunus cells. This started when he was 13, and it continued for two years. He saw his Faunus friends come and go, and heard scientists and his “family” laugh at his suffering.
Terrence became depressed, but still persevered through all the torturous experiments. It was a little after his 15th birthday that the lab was found by the Faunus-supporting family. He, along with the remaining Faunus children, was finally saved! However, the situation turned out to be a trap for the rescue group. As they escaped, they were ambushed by Terrence's father’s men. In the end, only Terrence and a handful of Faunus children got away to safety. The remaining were either killed on the spot, or went off to somewhere unknown.
Once he and the other children reached an Eumann stronghold, he met his uncle for the first time. He had learned that his father and uncle grew up under the Faunus-hating family, much like he did. However, they held differing views, and his uncle ran away from home to join up with the other half of the Abaddon family. Now, his uncle was the head of the now-named Eumann family, an upcoming transporting company (Eumann Co.) and mercenary group (Eumann Military Personnel).
With depression and hatred fueling him, Terrence convinced his uncle to let him join the mercenary group. There, he trained and learned non-stop with the some of the Faunus who ran with him and stayed. For years he went like this, but his hatred mellowed out when he saw how humans and Faunus can live in harmony and equality. Depression turned into hope for once in his life, and with this hope, he began fighting for the betterment of life for the Faunus, and for equality for both races.
Through the experimentation and training, Terrence obtained the stamina, speed, and agility to match that of a well-trained Faunus, and only seemed to improve from there. Reflexes were sharper, his senses were enhanced, and his healing seemed to improved. His Semblance has become second nature to him, and he was aware of his Atronach’s power. At the age of 23, he took over a charge against an Abaddon lab when his captain was incapacitated. Somehow, he had came out of it with all his men and captives alive. He was promoted to captain, and was given the famed Morning Star before being assigned to command a task force in Vale, made up of a mix of Faunus and humans.
In Vale, he accomplished much in the way of Faunus liberation, breaking up his father's slave trades and underground fights. He became a force to be reckoned with – the “Crimson Angel”, named after the red trench coat he wears to battle, and a terror to all of those in the Silver Hand. At 26, he and his task force played a major part in the final battle of the Faunus Revolution. It was rough, and he had lost two good men, but he finally brought his father to justice, thus ending the slave trade.
Soon after, laws were passed, giving Faunus equal rights. The next two years were dedicated to liberating any Faunus still being held as slaves, and bringing the remaining Abaddon family to justice. During his travels, he found the Midnight Millions with a group of Abaddon family members. He had finally retrieved the family heirlooms, and with them, he took on the Abaddon name again to redeem it. Terrence is now a major of the EMP in charge of the Faunus relations in Vale. Of course, this was all under his alias. His cover, and true aspiration, is becoming a professor in the famed Beacon school for hunters.
PERSONALITY: Terrence acts like a happy-go-lucky fool most of the times, mainly because he is one. He always tries to see the good in everyone, even after all that he’s been through, and is a strong supporter of second chances. Part of the reason why he acts so foolish, though, is to keep those around him happy. To him, seeing everyone happy is what he lives for. Plus, it’s kind of hard to feel so depressed all the time when someone’s making a fool of themselves, right?
However, he is far from ignorant. He knows that there are people who do wrong just for the sake of doing wrong. All the second chances and kindness in the world isn’t enough for some. There are those who are irredeemable, and he will forever hold hatred for them. But, he is still naïve in that he won’t stoop to killing. He is not a killer – dead bodies make him hurl and feel wrong, and the knowledge that he cut someone’s life short is enough to haunt him for the rest of his life. No, he will make their living lives hell – a far better punishment than death, in his opinion.
Trust is hard to come by when it comes to Terrence. There are very few in the world that he will call a friend. But those that he do trust will have him by their side forever. But that trust can break. And when it does, one would wish for the sweet release of death. Depression is something Terrence is in a never-ending battle with. He believes that there is no such thing as true peace, and seeing events that solidify this claim just hurl him down a swirling path of doubt and sadness. However, he does believe that the world is capable of peace and love, and seeing things like that make him want to live to spread that same peace and love everywhere.
In short, Terrence wears a fool’s mask with a goofy smile. The mask just hides the pain and suffering in his eyes, and catches the tears that fall. It crumbles with hatred, leaving the visage of a demon in its wake. It can only be taken off by him, or a gentle touch to reveal the angel inside.
SEMBLANCE: Terrence's Semblance is rather standard fare - heightened defense, reflexes, and speed with a minor healing factor. This works in tangent with his already Faunus-enhanced abilities. It comes out as a wispy, ethereal white.
