Vine Zeki

==Summary==
Vine Zeki is a supporting character in RWBY. He is a member of the Ace Operatives Specialist team. He is described as calm and tranquil in both speech and temperament and is shown to be in control of himself, especially when compared to the rest of Ace-Ops. He is also shown to be easily exasperated by their comparatively more gung-ho approach. Vine believed self-improvement is the highest pursuit. At the end of Volume 8, he gave his life to protect Mantle from being blown up by a bomb, using his Semblance to contain the explosion.

Range: Tens of meters with Thorn and Aura Vines
Standard Equipment: Thorn
Intelligence: Gifted (As a member of the Ace-Ops, a special ops team comprised of the most elite Huntsmen and Huntresses in Atlas, Vine is a highly skilled fighter. His fighting style is heavily dependent on his Semblance, but conversely affords him a fantastic degree of mobility and versatility. His agility and flexible fighting style allows him to maneuver gracefully around a battlefield, swinging and ascending on his Aura vines and maintaining a smooth, flowing combat style that is in line with his calm and quiet personality)
Weaknesses: Continual damage to his Aura will cause it to decay to the point where he can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack he takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain Aura by a small amount and without it they cannot be used until it is recharged. Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's Aura.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Thorn: Vine's weapon of choice, a collapsible bladed throwing star. It had what appears to be Gravity Dust in the center of the weapon, and the weapon could be thrown or used as a dagger. Vine always carried Thorn folded on his back and rarely used it, preferring to use his Semblance for fighting.
* Aura Vines: Vine's Semblance, which allows him to create Aura vines from his arms and legs, essentially extending the length of his limbs. He can use his Semblance to propel himself and grapple at other enemies, as well as use the extended limbs to punch at them from a distance and freely alter the size and shape of his Aura Vines into claws. Vine is also capable of forming a 'bubble' with his Semblance strong enough to contain the bomb that would have destroyed Mantle, though at the cost of his life in doing so.
