## Personality

Volkan is a level-headed, confident man that is can also be ruthless and manipulative if needed. As a person, he is mostly calm and laid back, also can be reasonable to achieve his ends unless he gets upset or provoked by other people. He has a calm composure compared to other members of Eye of Aconitum as he exhibits a good amount of patience. Though when he finally loses his patience, he becomes ruthless and possibly aggressive similar to a erupting volcano. Volkan is a man who knows exactly what he wants, and won't stop until he gets it. He can go as far as to emotionally manipulate people for his purposes. Volkan will not hesitate to team up with others if given a chance in order to increase his odds of winning and unlike other crime bosses that have their underlings do their work, Volkan is not afraid to get his hands dirty if necessary.

For a crime boss, he is seen as a reasonable man who would rather reach a deal or make proposals with people and opponents alike rather than resort to violence. He will fight if necessary or if opponent chooses violence. As any crime boss, he is the kind of guy who keeps his end of the bargain, but would destroy anyone who tries to double-cross him. To separate himself from his abusive father, he has a belief that he does not harm the innocent or defenseless unless the individuals are his mission targets. Even then, he tries to reach a compromise before resorting to violence to get his way. He is not one to easily divulge information to individuals such as when he responds with a smile even though he does not answer question of who he may/may not know.

But, if you're on his good side, you're taken care of, and it's what endears him to his men. He does have a caring side toward his subordinates and may give some tough love whenever they need to learn an important lesson. This side can make him come across as a father figure to the people he trusts. Even to people that he has or had worked with him, he has left a good impression on them despite him running his own crime network.

## Biography/ History

Volkan Tinuviel was born in Vale in the residential district and is an only child of his mother and father. His mother was a baker of a local bakery in Vale while his father was a wandering huntsman that became a gunsmith that helped local huntsmen with their equipment and weaponry. His early childhood was full of great memories with his family between his times in his mother’s bakery and his father’s store. After hearing stories from roaming huntsmen, it inspired Volkan to become a huntsman himself and his father offered to teach him what he knew when he was old enough. Since then, he was given lessons in swordsmanship and strength training starting at the age of 8.

On his 11th birthday, Volkan spent the day with his father in the shop and together they created Volkan’s weapon: L'aumento Rabbia. In the few months after, he trained tirelessly to fully understand his weapon. However, his father’s lessons were interrupted the next year when Volkan’s mother fell ill with an incurable sickness. The father did his best to get her the best medicine that he could by taking on more odd jobs to support the family though it was in vain when Volkan’s kind mother passed away in her sleep.

After her passing, her bakery was sold to another individual while his father changed drastically to the point where he became a workaholic. He did job after job to the point that he only came home at night. He also got heavily involved with alcohol almost every night at either a nearby bar or at home. Volkan was mostly left alone and began to provide for himself by taking on odd jobs around the city. A few months later, his father began returning home aggressively drunk almost every night. Unfortunately for Volkan, he began getting physically and verbally abused by his father every night to the point that he had beat down his Aura and constantly whipped him in the back with the whip form of his weapon. The worst part of it was, his father did not realize his behavior when he sobered up the following morning, making Volkan not only terrified, but develop anger towards his father. Volkan’s saving grace when he learned that he was of age to go to combat school and used that opportunity to escape his now abusive father. He trained during the day and bided his time until his 13th birthday came. That day he was not beaten since his father was sober the entire day and spent a nice day with Volkan. However, when Volkan spoke up about his aggressive drunk behavior, his father apologized deeply for constantly harming him and talked about how he couldn’t get past his wife’s death. His father did promise to stop his habits and to spend more time with him which was when he provided Volkan with more training instead of going to the bars.

Once he had received his acceptance letter to go to Signal Academy a couple months after, Volkan was going to tell his father the following morning but his father came home aggressively drunk once again and was raring to fight Volkan. Only this time, Volkan was angry that he had reverted to his drinking ways even after his father promised to do better about it. So, he drew his weapon and fought his father in their backyard. After finding a way around his father’s defenses, Volkan repeatedly hit him with his briefcase until he saw his Aura around his hands start to brighten more and more after each hit, making him realize that he may have finally unlocked his Semblance. His father’s Aura was on its last legs when his father charged at him and Volkan had decided to use the energy he gained to deal the decisive blow with his briefcase. With one powerful swing, it knocked out his father’s Aura and sent him flying against the back of their house, knocking him out and badly injuring him. Volkan, slightly satisfied that he beat his father had called to have him looked at in the hospital while he decided to take his leave towards Signal Academy to start his life without his father. While he was attending there, he received a letter from one of his neighbors that his father took his own life a couple weeks after he left the hospital because he was unable to handle the guilt of losing his wife and losing Volkan because of his abusive ways.

After attending Signal Academy for 4 years, he also advanced his education by attending Haven Academy in Mistral in order to move on from his childhood and to expand his horizons. There, he became to leader of Team VCNO (Volcano). There, he learned more about what it truly means to be a Huntsman, learned more business in the world, and learned more about working with others as a team. He and his team were close to each other and considered each other family as they took on several missions together in their time up to the point of graduation. They graduated in the Top 10 for their class and decided to keep in touch by going their separate ways for their own goals.

In that time, Volkan decided to work as a wandering mercenary to take on any Huntsman jobs to make a name for himself. He had many adventures, and he slowly began to see how imperfect and divided the world of Remnant was between the several feuds between different kinds of people and the discrimination of Faunus he has witnessed in his travels. After that realization came fully into view, he decided to settle in Vacuo and investigate both noble and sinister sides of it to the point that his investigation led him to the Underground Crime Network in Vacuo.

While he was undercover as a competitor in one of the underground fighting rings to gain information on the different syndicates, he met a powerful, influential man named Jett Cedric that was the head of one of notorious syndicates in the region, Eye of Aconitum. After seeing Volkan’s potential in the last few matches he took part in, Jett extended an offer to have Volkan join in his ranks in exchange for him to become one of the powerful Crime bosses in Vacuo and gain as much information as he wanted through his connections. Volkan agreed and as promised, he advanced through the many underground crime ring competitions and seized control of one of the higher crime networks and became its leader and crime boss. After becoming one of the known Crime bosses and making a name for himself, he set up bases in Mistral and Vale. Vacuo is the center base of operations while the other two are subsidiaries.

During his time, he found other people he trusts for his own inner circle after joining Eye of Aconitum as one of Jett’s lieutenants of his inner circle. First, Volkan found Teyl Torrance being casted out of his gang because he was seen as weak. The crime boss took him in and Teyl became his right hand. At some point, he rescued Forest Drake from Vacuan Assault though was actuality kidnapped and he later rescued Biscotti Creme and Mallow Rosemary from near death mission. A few years later, he meets Leonardo Tsukiakari and recognizes who he is as heir of the Tsukiakari Corporation. Once he forced him to work for him to protect his family, he taught him some of the business. This agreement has lasted for three years until a new deal was struck after one mission as Leonardo had finally earned his freedom once he reunited with his sister at Beacon Academy.

Once Leo had left to start his life at Beacon Academy, Volkan started to actively be more involved in different affairs for Eye of Aconitum to begin paying back Jett. With his faction becoming more known, he allies his faction with Eye of Aconitum. With the power of his growing forces with their help, he believed that he could make the world perfect from the imperfect one that they reside.

***~~Fall of Beacon/Timeskip~~***

A few months after the Fall of Beacon, Volkan manipulates Sable to join Eye of Aconitum to help find his teammates, knowing where they are at Jett’s behest. A while after Beacon Falls and journeying around, he becomes a very powerful Crime boss in Vacuo by taking down one of the more powerful heads with his forces and brute strength. Once this happens, he starts to get involved more with Eye of Aconitum affairs.

## Faction Terms

* Eye of Aconitum: An underground organization that believes that anyone should have the power to protect themselves without the aid of hunters and huntresses regardless of their abilities. And they also believe that without military assistance in protection, everyone would be equal in strength and able to stand against any adversary.

## In Combat

***Weapons:***

Volkan’s weapons consist of a Briefcase Dust Great-Sword (BDGS) named L'aumento Rabbia (Italian for Rising Anger) and a handgun.

L'aumento Rabbia is a special, sturdy Dust infused briefcase that transforms into a Dust infused great-sword. Volkan created this with his father’s help back on his 11th birthday and with his many years of training has mastered both forms of his weapon.

In its Dust Briefcase form, it takes on an ordinary orange and yellow briefcase with his emblem in the center. It is capable of transforming into a black bladed, two toned great-sword with a orange and yellow dust revolving part near the hilt. Due to the briefcase’s weight with the weight of its other form enclosed inside, it is also a powerful bludgeoning weapon. He can use this form with Dust to enhance his physical attacks if needed. This form makes it easier for him to carry his weapon and use close range attacks because of his physical strength.

In its Dust Great-Sword form, it is a large single edged, black blade that can utilize Dust either by powering his strikes or by launching Dust wave attacks. He has also used this to defend himself or others with its thicker blade or launch others in team maneuvers. With his strength and years and using this weapon, he can handle and swing it around with ease.

His secondary weapon is a semi-automatic handgun that he always keeps on his person which is filled with a mix fire and gravity Dust and uses it in case he is disarmed. Each magazine holds 8 rounds.

***Abilities:***

Volkan is both a capable Huntsman and a powerful crime boss that is very skilled in both swordsmanship and hand to hand combat. From his vast experience from several areas through his life such as his early days with training his father, training at Signal and Haven Academy, and his later life during his mercenary work and crime ring days, he has grown to have well above average strength, endurance, and defense. He can hold his own against other Huntsman and other groups of people with ease. His reputation is to the point that other Huntsman such as Auriel Lucius would be reluctant to fight unless it was necessary to do so and many others see him along with his faction as a threat.

Volkan has average speed and Aura usage, yet he can keep up with other capable Huntsman during battle. With his great-sword, he can also be slightly slower but can create more damage towards his opponents. He has mastery over both his Semblance and weapon and can use them to their full extent. Because of training with his Semblance, he can use it a few times without feeling fatigue. With his combat style, he prefers either close to mid-range combat or hand to hand. If he does somehow get disarmed, he either uses his pistol he keeps with him or resorts to hand to hand combat.

From his time in the Crime Rings, he has developed a high pain tolerance as shown when he battles another undergrad Huntsman team after the Fall of Beacon.

As a Crime Boss, Volkan has not only exhibits his brawn as a capable fighter but has also exhibits tactics and strategy in his battles. His improvisation along with his quick thinking makes him a tactician on and off the battlefield. This is how he can both lead his faction and be able to complete tasks for Eye of Aconitum.

Unlike his mercenary days, he has average stealth and would rather make himself known rather than hide around in the shadows. During battle, there are times where he can lose his cool, calm demeanor if he is too consumed in the battle he is taking part of and can also become arrogant (even though it is a rare occurrence). If he is not careful, Dust users or far range users can catch him off guard. His anger can also be his downfall if he is angered during a match, which is a difficult, but possible task.

***Aura:*** Red

***Semblance: Explosive Eruption***

With each successful hit that Volkan throws, he stores up energy for a powerful hit which is judged by the brightness of his Aura. Once he has enough energy, Volkan smacks either his fists or his weapon into the ground or against an object with the stored energy as it creates a fissure and depending on the dust that is used with it, he can overflow it with the substance (ex, fire dust- fire effect, ice dust-ice effect). The larger the fissure, the more damage and will also need more stored energy. After the more powerful hit, there is a 15 second (small fissure)- 1.5 minutes (large fissure) cooldown (depending on how big the fissure) before he can reactivate it and absorb more energy.

## Trivia
