Randel Libero

This article is currently under construction, and is incomplete at the moment.

## Appareance

Randel is a young man of short height with reddish gray, disheveled short hair in a medium length mohawk and purple eyes. His skin is of medium complexion and has a somewhat bulky, yet athletic body shape. Since he's a dog Faunus, he has a pair of gray, cropped dog ears over his head.

His outfit consists of the Beacon Academy F.C. kit together with a red/black captain armband, and fuchsia Dust football shoes with blue and cyan details.

He also has a small scar over his left eyebrow, and has a tattoo of his emblem in his left arm.

## Personality

(WIP)
Randel is a passionate, hot-headed guy that easily gets pissed off when annoyed or criticized, specially when he's teased about things such as his height and the fact that he plays as a defender even if he's considerably short for such role. When pissed off, he isn't hesitant about replying back, no matter if the person is in a superior position than him or not, which isn't a really convenient thing and tends to bring him trouble. Because of this reason, he tries to keep cool, at least when playing (since it's pretty hard for him to keep calm).

However, this doesn't mean in any way that he's a bad person; he's friendly, playful, and caring when he's in a good mood. He's also a brave person overall, and has no fear in defending himself or his loved ones.

Randel is a guy full of determination, both in game and in battle, and won't give up easily, no matter if he's considerably injured; he'll always give everything in order to archieve what he wants.

Due to being a dog Faunus, he has a strong sense of loyalty as already mentioned, and he also loves the company of other dogs and/or dog Faunus.

Regarding his species, he doesn't hate humans, but can't stand those who are self-entitled and pretend to talk over Faunus, and will snap if he sees somebody doing this and confront them.

## Abilities

(WIP)
Randel is mainly a melee fighter specialized in both offensive and defensive combat. His main weakness is his lack of range, only relying in Aura slashes infused with Dust (performed through kicks) for long-range combat.

His Semblance is called *Catenaccio*, and consists in rendering himself unable to fall or to get knocked off (for example: if he's attacked with wind Dust he won't fly away, or if he recieves a strong hit he won't fall). This Semblance helps him a lot in being able to take attacks better, though this Semblance doesn't make him invulnerable, neither amplifies his defense in a significant way (it only amplifies enough for not falling), so he still suffers damage if he isn't also defending himself in another way.

## Trivia

* "Randel" is a medieval diminutive of *Randolf*, a Germanic name that contains the elements *rand*, meaning "rim of a shield", and *wulf*, meaning "wolf". Both a shield and a wolf can be associated to the color gray.
* "Libero" comes from the Italian term *battitore libero*, which means "free hitter"; that is, "sweeper" in English. It's a defensive position in football which was most commonly used by football teams in Europe until the 1990s.
* His Semblance is named after Catenaccio, a tactical football system with a strong emphasis in defense.
	+ His emblem somewhat alludes to Catenaccio too, since it's also called "the Chain".
* His Faunus part isn't of any specific race, though it's easy to guess he's a molosser dog Faunus due to his dog ear shape, his bulky body shape and behavior.
	+ He has his dog ears cropped because of safety for fighting.
* Regarding IRL inspirations, he's sorta inspired in Chilean defender Gary Medel. Both play as defenders, are of short height and hot temper, and Gary's nicknamed "Pitbull", which matches with Randel being a dog Faunus.
	+ Though now that I think about it he reminds me a bit of Alexis as well. Short, with a playful personality when chilling, and loves them doges.
