"I'm smart and I know when not to mess with something that doesn't involve me."

Thomas "Tom" Collins was born to loving parents, John and Michelle Collins. John was a human and Michelle was a cat faunus. They lived in the southern part of Vale, near the slums. Because his mother was a cat faunus, he was born with a brown cat tail. His father, John, unlocked his aura when he was about 7 years old. But, there was tragedy. His parents were killed when he was ten. They were in a car accident due to a drunk driver, killing them on impact. Onto the streets he went. With no other family , he became homeless and had to steal to survive. During that time, he learned how to fight and defend himself. When he was 13, he discovered his semblance, Reflections. One day when he was 16, a local huntsman came up to Tom when he was fighting off a group of drunk thugs. When he started the next year, he be came partners with Silber Argentum. After four years, they graduated as full Huntsmen and Huntress. After they graduated, the team decided to go their separate ways as they felt that they needed to live their lives to the fullest and went off on their own. Ozpin decided to give Tom a mission of his own; a mission to head to Mistral and head to Haven to work for Heaster Leonardo Lionheart, as he had some of the top grades of his class.

~Appearance~

~Combat/Normal~

He likes to keep it casual, but also nice and clean. His usual attire consists of a pair brown slacks, teal dress shirt with the top button unbuttoned, untucked, and cuffs button loosely, a black tie loosened, black combat boots, teal fingerless gloves that have the knuckles part colored black, and a pair of brown rimmed glasses. He has a pair of steel arm bracers, to protect his forearms and to use when in hand to hand combat. The holster for his weapon is on his lower back. The holster is colored black to match his colors. Around his shoulders is another black holster. On the right side holds his flask, while the left holds a journal with a pen in the cover. This is also colored black. Because of his tail, any pants he buys, gets "tail"ored for his tail. (pun intended)

~Casual

This outfit is what he likes to wear when he's not going anywhere important or he's off from work. It consists of a pair of black gym shorts with a teal stripe down the side, a pair of running shoes that has his symbol on the side, and a white t-shirt.

~Formal~

His formal outfit is a nice two piece suit that he has to wear whenever there is a party that he is invited to or crashing said party. The suit itself is a teal jacket that cuts off right above his wrists and has a black interior, his weapon sits right underneath the jacket on his back, a black set of slacks, and a pair of non- slip dress shoes just incase he has to run somewhere.

~Sleep wear~

Usually what he wears to bed is a simple pair of Pj pants and no shirt, letting the air run over himself.

~Personality~

While he lived on the streets, he had to keep moving to stay hidden from everyone. He was running from a thug who he stole back his money. He got cornered by the thug and it happened. As soon as the thug threw the first punch, he covered his face, but the fist never touched him. Instead, the thug was pushed backwards by a wall than inflicted double the power of the punch and broke the thug's hand in three places. That is how his semblance was unlocked. He can be sarcastic, but also very caring when he wants to be. Whenever he meets someone new, he keeps it neutral, until that person either A: pisses him off or B: is nice and returns the kindness. He also likes to be solitary from everyone else, for meditation reasons and for reading his erotica. But that doesn't mean he doesn't care for people. During the fall, it changed his view of the world, seeing it for the harshness that it is. But, he still helps people. Also, when he gets the chance, he likes a stiff drink every once in awhile.

~Fighting style~

During his time at Beacon, he trained at a gym, on top of going to school. He learned boxing, Muay Thai, meditation, and more stealth tactics. Also, he learned to control his semblance better.

~Abilities and Powers~

He excels at being the listener of problems, the giver of advice, and when needed, the shoulder to cry on. He can cook and clean as well.

On the battlefield, his mind is focused to make sure nothing happened to him. Off the battlefield, he's still focused, but to an extent.

~Weapon~

His weapon of choice is Stinging Rain. Stinging Rain is a automatic 12 gauge shotgun that has blade that drops down from a compartment on the underside and turns into a cavalry sword. The shotgun itself has a ten round capacity, that is filled with two dust rounds of every element. Pressing a button right above the trigger, the weapon transform. The handle of the shotgun turns straight and opens up the end so a dust crystal can be put in to give his sword a elemental effect to it. The edge of the sword is hollow allowing dust to flow through it.

His weapon was built from scratch, from the base of the gun to the polished shine to the sword. Because he never went to a combat school or had any money really, the Beacom staff gave him permission to use the forge to make his weapon.

~Semblance~

His semblance is called Reflections. This was discovered when he was still livning on the streets. He can reflect all kinitec energy from an organic object. It takes the original energy from it and sends back with the same exact force. He can only do this with one organic object at a time and it has a 3 minute limit on it. How he does this is by locking on to an opponent's Aura and redirecting the damage done by Aura attacks back to the though he can not lock on to two auras at a time. Because it pushes the enemy back, doesn't mean it doesnt cause him damage. Everytime he uses his semblance, it uses a quarter of his aura, which will leave him tired and weak.

~Symbols~

His symbol is a rolling tide. Always on the move, but can be still and calm. His symbol is black to contrast the blue of the shirt. The symbol is on his left part of his shirt, above his pectoral muscle.

~Weakness(es)~

His tail is one of his biggest weaknesses. It's been very sensitive since he lived on the streets for so long that if anyone touched it, he would go into a panic mode.

~Trivia~

His likes; books, alcohol, food, sleep, and the thought of the Faunus race being treated equal. He also likes a quiet night at home were he can relax and curl up with a nice book, going on missions to exotic places, observing new types of Grimm, and

His dislikes; racism toward any faunus, when his tail get touched or stepped on, the White Fang, and people who are just not cool toward the Faunus race. Also, beer that had been sitting out for too long (cuz who likes warm beer?), and people who go through his stuff.
