He retains his earrings from his previous outfit, his hair has grown slightly longer, and his emblem is a tattoo in black on his right upper arm.

## Personality

Sable is a calm, loyal, and patient young man that usually keeps his emotions in check. He can be seen as indifferent and intimidating from his appearance but when people take the time to know him, he is a laid-back individual. He usually speaks when he feels is appropriate which makes him slightly introverted but has no issue conversing with other people although there are times that he can be blunt. When Sable quickly and bluntly points out Damira’s façade when she tries to be a prima-donna. He is also very observant as he usually picks up on things that are easily overlooked such as when he notices unknown movement from Grimm during a mission. For Sable, he does what he believes right at the given time regardless of good or evil to achieve his goals. There are times where he sides with the heroes or with the villains which may make him come across as rebellious to the opposing side depending on his circumstances and the given situation.

Sable also exhibits a tremendous amount of patience, considering how he can handle both Alankar and Damira, who are both troublemakers in their own ways. When he runs out of it however, he will show his frustration by yelling and then walking away to cool off soon after. When Sable's mind is focused on his hobbies such as blacksmithing or riding his motorcycle, it usually helps him calm down, especially if he was angry or upset. He rarely gets upset in general unless the situation pushes him to that point such as when people he cares for are in danger. When his teammates or his family get hurt, he will immediately step in to defend them without any hesitation. Under his rough exterior, he deeply cares about teammates and family in his own way. With people that he is close to, he shows a more kindhearted persona and will try his best to help with anything between studies and combat. An instance of this is when Sable helps Haukea with many issues, especially when he stops her from arguing with their other teammates.

For his dislikes, he despises politics and would rather believe what he witnesses with his own eyes. He also doesn't like people who stereotype other just by appearances rather than getting to know someone and views them as shallow individuals. This is shown when Sable comes to Haukea’s defense when someone bullies her during a mission in Atlas because she is a Faunus. Sable also has a bad habit of putting himself down since he does not think that he is good enough and thinks of his Semblance as a 'curse' that stem from his regrets. He was also extremely envious of his younger brother's Semblance since he felt that he deserved to have it more. However, he does come to improve his outlook during his time with Team SHAD and comes to appreciate his own Semblance and seeing how versatile it is.

After the Fall of Beacon, Sable does change somewhat. He now speaks more and becomes more tactful with his words, especially around people he cares about. It is then revealed that he still cares for his younger brother, Taison, regardless of their past but shows it in his own way. When he learns more about people's emotions and compassion, this does make him more prone to mental manipulation after he grows close to other members of Team SHAD. Volkan takes advantage of this fact when he convinces and manipulates Sable to join Eye of Aconitum under the pretense that he can use their resources to reach his goals. During his time in Eye of Aconitum, he still makes his own choices and follows through with them, even if some decisions force him to go against the organization since he is only using them for their resources.

## Biography/ History

Sable was born and raised in Felsite within the kingdom of Vacuo with his parents, his younger brother, Taison Lefebrve and his younger sister, Jeneva Lefebrve. His mother, Zurine and father, Dunstan Lefebrve were not on the best terms with each other, and they got divorced when he was nine. Because of this, the three of them lived with their father and did what they could to get by. However, since things were not great financially with their father's business, the three children did what they could to assist their father and throughout his childhood, Sable would take on odd jobs by helping neighbors with anything they needed. This would range from babysitting to cleaning and the people in Felsite were grateful for his assistance and paid him decently which he would then share most of it with his father and save the rest for him and his siblings. From his hardworking attitude, he became respected along with his siblings. He would also listen to his brother's creative stories and play with both Taison and Jeneva when he had the time outside of helping others in the settlement. Things began to change when Sable witnesses Taison hallucinating for a few months which began after Taison had told Sable one of his creative stories about bandits. At first it was only hallucinations, but it had progressive grew to the point where Taison had started to withdraw from everyone, including his family. Seeing that he was fearing for his life, Sable told their father and he had brought Taison to see a doctor in Vale.

After Taison was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and returned to Felsite, Sable was 14 and was helping their father with running their mechanics shop and decided to learn blacksmithing as well. This greatly helped with gathering money when he offered his services to worn Huntsmen and Huntresses that passed by Felsite along with the inhabitants. Hearing their stories from other Kingdoms inspired him to follow the path of a Huntsman. Taison had joined him in the family business a few months after doing well with the medication and his treatment and the two brothers worked well together side by side. A few months passed before he decided to leave for Oscuro Academy to train and work to become a Huntsman.

While training at the combat school, he poured all his time into his studies and learned many topics including Aura and Weapon Design. With his prior experience from his father about mechanics and blacksmithing along with using his creative mind, he created a versatile weapon that can deal with any range of combat. That weapon was a dual scythe bladed lever rifle called Outlaw's Shadow. After creating this weapon and earning his parent's praise, he excelled at both close and mid- ranged combat while trying to work on his Aura to find his Semblance which he found one day when he saved a student from falling from the Academy roof when a couple chains appeared. When he was in his third year of combat school, Taison had entered Oscuro as a first year. Once Taison and Sable were home after first and third year respectfully, Taison showed him his new weapon he created and their father, mother, and sister were very impressed at what he accomplished regardless of his residual schizophrenia. Unfortunately, Sable was envious that he was getting more attention than he was which caused tension between the two brothers. A couple weeks later, one of their heated arguments became a brawl against each other. The match had been interrupted by their father shortly after seeing Taison’s Semblance activate for the first time from stress of Sable’s closer attacks. After their father lectured Sable and sent him to his room. From that next day on, Sable had left home to live with their mother and moved to the City of Vacuo though he did leave a letter behind for his brother saying that he would get revenge one day.

His life improved after they moved after reuniting with his mother and Sable decided to help more people in the City of Vacuo with any form of labor, which had caught the eye of a local blacksmith which he had asked if he needed help. After Sable helped the man with a lot of the orders he received, he was extended an offer for a job on the spot because of his talents in both blacksmithing and mechanics. He gladly accepted and with the productive job at Shade Smithy Stop, he received a steady income to help him along with his mother. One night a few months later as he was preparing to attend Oscuro for his final year and finished his shift at his job, Sable had witnessed a robbery from a weaponry/Dust shop and helped thwart it with the assistance of three other people: Haukea Hubairah, Alankar Francesco, and Damira Nagashree. After the incident, Sable was brought to the nearby Huntsmen Guild and investigated by Professor Theodore. After being impressed by his bravery and skills, he sent him an acceptance letter to Shade Academy a year early. He reunited with the individuals from that night a few days later when he took part in initiation. Team SHAD (Shadow) was formed soon after with Sable as the leader while the individuals became his teammates and close friends.

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

Sable and the others were spectating the fights in Amity Arena when the Battle of Beacon began. After evacuating from Amity Arena with many other students, him, along with Team SHAD decided to assist in protecting Vale. At first, they fought together as a team before Sable and Damira were separated from Haukea and Alankar because of two different Grimm situations. Promising that they would meet South of Vale, Sable and Damira fought their way through the Grimm and seen helped to make a safe zone. A few minutes before the CCT collapsed, Sable and Damira got in touch with Alankar and Haukea to see what their situation was and where to meet them. After confirming their location, Damira and Sable split up, much to the former's disagreement as the former went to go meet with their other teammates. While Sable was on his own, his path crosses with Taison again just outside of Vale and after some banter, fought each other once again. After Sable breaks Taison's weapon, he retreats saying to find him in Anima if he wants a rematch and to be stronger the next time they meet. After their scuffle, Sable reunited with his team as they all decided to withdraw from Shade Academy and apply for the Huntsman license exam in Haven.

A month later, after they aced the Huntsman license exam and becoming official Huntsmen, the team separates temporally. However, on the destined day for their reunion in Northern Anima near Argus a couple months later, Sable did not see his teammates, but instead was found by Volkan Tinuviel saying that his teammates were missing and that Eye of Aconitum's resources could help him locate them. Sable reluctantly accepted and started carrying out requests for the sinister organization while searching for the truth about his teammates and finding a way to reconcile with himself and his family.

## 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

***Weapon:***

Sable's weapon is a Dual Bladed Lever Rifle (DBLR) called Outlaw's Shadow.

It is a lever action rifle that can transform into a dual scythe and can split apart into dual kusarigamas. He can use all these forms to their full potential after years of practice and created the weapon on his own with his expertise in mechanics and blacksmithing, both of which he learned from his father.

In its lever rifle form, it can use both regular and Dust rounds which is usually either fire, ice, lightning, or a mix of the three. He can shoot this either two handed or one handed and reload with a special movement (Similar to the movie here). Each magazine has 8-10 bullets each. This is also its storage mode in which Sable uses to carry it around on his back. This can transform into its dual scythe mode.

In its dual scythe form, he can use this to bludgeon his foes in close combat and can also extend the chains on either end for distance attacks. From this mode, he can transform it to its lever rifle form and split to become dual kusarigama mode.

Its last form, the dual kusarigama form is basically two bladed scythes connected by the chain in between them. This mode is more utilized in close to mid-range combat and utilizes the chains in a variety of ways such as to rescue himself or others and allows him to freely attack from a decent amount of distance. In both this form and his dual scythe form, he can utilize Aura wave constructs to have his attacks work further away.

***Abilities:***

From his time in Oscuro Academy and Shade Academy, Sable has grown to be a capable Huntsman in his own right between his abilities and his weapon proficiency. His above average speed and endurance help him survive longer in battles and has an above average amount of Aura.

He is a well-rounded fighter that can either fight close to mid-range or long range. For close, he can utilize his weapon’s dual scythe mode or its kusarigama mode to engage close quarters. Meanwhile, he utilizes the chains in his weapons along with rifle mode to counteract far ranged. For both styles, he can utilize his Semblance and its Dust capability to trip up opponents/ close distance depending on Dust used which is usually Ice or Lightning. From his time as the leader of Team SHAD, he has learned to take his leadership role more seriously by cooperating with his teammates instead of trying to deal with others alone. He can fight with others and on his own depending on the situation and fight hand to hand if needed.

As a quick thinker, he can analyze his opponent and counteract them after seeing what his opponents are capable of. He is adaptable to different environment, especially if it is a terrain, he is familiar with such as City or Desert. However, it would be harder for him to deal with opponents in an Arena setting. He is also a skilled blacksmith and mechanic that is able to fix his or other people’s weapons.

A weakness that he has is that he uses his Semblance often, which can wear down on his Aura if he is not careful. He is also more comfortable dealing with people close ranged than far ranged. His defense and strength are average so he would take some damage from more physically powerful blows.

After the Fall of Beacon, he has improved his Semblance usage even further and his skills in hand-to-hand combat.

***Aura:*** Grey.

***Semblance: Chainwork***

Sable can create multiple Dust or Aura chains of sizable length. He can create these from his hands or from cut or uncut Dust for various purposes such as constricting opponents/objects or combat usage. As an Aura chain, it can normally bind someone for 15-30 seconds before it shatters and has 10 second cooldown. The longer Sable tries to hold the person/people, the more Aura is absorbed. The longest depends on user in which it would be for 45 seconds. The bind time is shorter if the person is stronger than the user. He can also use this offensively or defensively in combat.  As a Dust chain, it can hold for longer depending on which Dust is utilized Ice and Earth will last much longer than Fire for example if used to bind someone but will add a special effect. The more Sable uses his Semblance the more chains he can produce and the longer they can sustain.

Sable has also used this in other ways such as rescuing himself or others from dire situations such as falling or giving him or others a boost to a higher area, retrieving his weapon if it is out of his reach, and when using Dust, temporarily keeping objects such as vehicles in place.
