Coch Talesin
Lieu: Bureau d'Ozpin

Comme vous le savez tous...
La tête de Coch's s'est cassée en un début. Ses yeux dorés s'élargissaient et le dos de sa main s'en alla immédiatement sur son visage pour l'essuyer du drool qu'il y avait senti frais. Le Falthon n'avait donc pas fait partie de l'entraînement. Il aurait cru que l'académie serait démentie si elle l'avait été. Le vieux n'était pas du genre à prétendre que quelque chose ne s'était pas passé, leur rappelant toutes les morts. Coch s'inclina la tête et ferma les yeux en se souvenant des étudiants qui avaient été mutilés et dévorés sous ses yeux. Une main s'en alla au visage, sa paume se pressa contre la tête alors qu'il essayait de ne pas pleurer sur le traumatisme. Ça n'aurait pas été viril, et les autres auraient probablement pensé qu'il était une salope.
Le guitariste a porté ses dents à ses pensées négatives et à la quantité de volonté qu'il utilisait pour empêcher le barrage de casser. Il a juste dû vider son esprit. Abaissant la main, Coch continua d'écouter Ozpin sans s'amuser. Il ne se souciait même pas de la louange qu'il leur avait faite.
Vytal Festival... une bataille après l'autre. Il avait une semaine et il a commencé à planifier une pause de l'école pour guérir son esprit. La plage... une maison de plage peut-être?
Je suis certain que vous êtes au moins impatient de savoir sur quelles équipes vous serez.
Une plage privée semblait la meilleure et peut-être qu'il pourrait camper sur la rive à la place. La pêche et le camping sonnaient très relaxant.
Bonne. Coch. C'est Chen. C'est Rowan. Les quatre d'entre vous forment l'équipe CRBC (Rainbow). Votre chef d'équipe... est Coch...
Les yeux de Cochs ont explosé jusqu'à la taille des soucoupes à la révélation. Il n'était même pas sûr d'avoir bien entendu.
C'est quoi, ça? C'est Chen? Coch a dit, dégonflant et souriant en relief......Le guitariste s'est alors levé, lui a arraché la guitare, et il est sorti de la pièce. Autant qu'il voulait prétendre qu'il n'entendait pas ce qu'il pensait avoir entendu, il savait ce qu'il avait entendu et il n'y avait rien à nier. C'était un chef d'équipe. Un guitariste... un soutien. Quand est-ce arrivé? Il ne pouvait pas s'occuper des nouvelles en ce moment. Son cerveau était encore lourd avec le stress du dernier combat et il avait besoin d'aller dehors et juste respirer!

Coch wears casual clothes: tanks, T-shirts, and denim. In colder climates, he sports a black coat with a faux-fur collar. He’ll wear shoes from Chuck Taylors to combat boots. Two small silver loop earrings line the shells of each of his ears and slung across his back is his red Stratocaster guitar.

ＷＥＡＰＯＮ

The Stratocaster is just as much a weapon as it is a musical instrument. The weapon acts as an amp for Coch’s semblance. Its whammy bar allows him to control the brutality of the waves by controlling the wave patterns. Next to the whammy bar is a chamber for loading dust capsules. The two dust capsules that Coch uses are Fire and Lightning.
Now, there’s a secret story behind Coch’s Stratocaster and its design. While most will only see it used as an amp, it has a secondary form. Originally, the Stratocaster was a rifle designed by the Atlesian military and gifted to him by his father. It still contains those functions, those functions being similar to a M16A2 rifle. The dust capsules are rounds fed into the chamber, and the whammy bar much like a bolt-action charging handle. With the guitar’s jagged electric guitar edges, it also functions as a battle ax and its wide base a shield for blocking attacks.
ＳＥＭＢＬＡＮＣＥ
Coch’s semblance grants him the ability to manipulate sound. When paired with his Stratocaster, his voice becomes a deadly weapon enabling him to produce decibels of destruction. His sound abilities when combined with his singing abilities can be used to empower himself and others, getting the team pumped to fight by raising their strength, speed, and durability for the duration of his jam. He can mute an entire room and throw his voice a great distance. As long as whoever he is trying to communicate with is within visual distance, they will hear him clearly even if he threw a whisper. An assault from Coch’s sound abilities can cause enemies to suffer disorienting, nauseating, and if directly under the bombardments of his sound vibrations—death. With his whammy bar, he can create vibrating patterns erratic enough to create a sound barrier for himself or anyone he is protecting as long as he is standing within arms’ reach of the person.

ＳＫＩＬＬＳ
Most students will see Coch in a support role, shredding on his guitar and empowering his teammates with energizing power metal. He will take down lesser mobs with the AOE abilities granted by his Dust and Semblance. What most students don’t know about him is that he was originally a student (soldier is probably the better term if you knew his Dad) of Atlas Academy. When adopting a more combat-related role, Coch is a brutal fighter. He wields his guitar like an ax, and can switch between a melee and ranged role in mid-combat. He can use dust rounds to speed up his movements, change the direction of his movements, or send himself skyward. The base of his guitar can be used as a shield to absorb the blunt strikes or offenses of his opponents.

ＢＡＣＫＧＲＯＵＮＤ
Coch Taliesin was born to Captain Ares and Terpsichore Taliesin. He was raised a military brat planned from birth to follow in his father’s footsteps to one day become an officer in the Atlesian military. His childhood was full of strict discipline and restriction. His mother was a successful singer and songwriter and his primary inspiration. His father frowned on Coch’s artistic hobbies and one day even tore up the music and poems he would write.
When he came of age to attend Atlas Academy, his father gave him a rifle, hoping that the weapon would motivate him to keep on the path he had set for him and to stay at the top of his class. One day, the stress and social pressure just nearly killed Coch and he knew that he had to get away from Atlas, and out from under his father’s thumb.
Coch secretly applied to Beacon Academy under a false name, and when he was accepted, he unceremoniously dropped out of Atlas and went running with a packed bag to his freedom. The Headmaster wasn’t as easily fooled as Coch had thought, knowing exactly who Coch was when he arrived at the school. Nonetheless, the man allowed him to stay. The singer was officially a free man and he didn’t plan on seeing his father ever again for as long as he could help it. He still carried the rifle that he had given him, and out of spite, with time and patience he was able to engineer it into what he felt would have been his father’s worst nightmare. With the weapon named "Stratocaster," Coch not only started his new life as a student at Beacon Academy but his career as a talented and popular musician.
ＣＨＡＲＡＣＴＥＲ ＴＨＥＭＥ
“Coch” in my character’s first name is Welsh for "Red." “Taliesin” is a bard from Welsh mythology who was renowned for singing at the courts of three Brythonic kings. He was adopted as a child by Elffin, the son of Gwyddno Garanhir, and prophesied the death of Maelgwn Gwynedd by the Yellow Plague. He has been a mythic hero and companion of Bran the Blessed and King Arthur. This will explain Coch's unique Welsh-like accent.
