--Character Background--
In the world of Remnant, there are many legends that exist. While most are just created from old rumors, some are actually real. Before Hunters and Huntresses, before Dust, even before the Maidens, It is said that hundred years ago, the Councils of the Four Kingdoms at the time were desperate for a more efficient way to deal with the growing Grimm threat. They needed a more effective solution that required less casualties and at the same time, have them gain the upper hand against the beasts beyond their walls. And so, they gathered their most brightest minds and collaborated on a special project that would, if not, once and for all, put an end to the Grimm menace. As a result, two belts were created

After the search for the Grimm Driver was abandoned, The second prototype belt to be made was the AGE (Anti-Grimm Extermination) Gear. Unlike the Grimm Driver, which relies on Grimm essence, the AGE Gear uses Dust Modules, each containing a refined form of a certain Dust type. Each of these Modules contain one of the four basic forms of Dust; Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Wind. Using different Modules allows the user to enter different Augments, becoming resistant to that element and also gaining different properties. Each of these Augments also come with their own weapon to make the full use of its abilities. However, like with the belt that predated it, the AGE Gear had a serious problem.

The belt put too much strain on the user's body. It was during the testing of how long the transformation could last that this problem was discovered. After about 20 minutes, the user described himself as feeling nauseous, and having a slight headache. 20 minutes later, he said he had spliting headache, and that his joints were burning. 20 minutes after that, he fainted. After the tester was rushed to the infirmary, a safety mechanism was installed that cancelled the transformation after 50 minutes. However, the project was scrapped because the team went through all of their budget, and it was decided that the AGE Gear would be stored. Because it was cheaper to store it, than to destroy it.

The project faded into history. That was until the Atlesian Military uncovered it, and decided to restart the project in hopes of creating a Super-Soldier. From the documents left behind by the previous researchers, It was theorized that the AGE Gear had to have a user specifically trained to use it. So, the Military hand-picked a promising young man from Atlas Academy. They made him go through grueling training regimes, and harsh surgery to make his body stronger, in preparation of using the AGE Gear. This young man was named Mikhael Argus, and 1 year later, Mikhael would finally be able to do his duty.
--Character Statistics--
Name: Mikhael Argus
Age: 18
Height: 5'3
Race: Human
Catchphrase: (Mikhael has 2 sets of catchphrases. 1 set is called Soldier!Mikhael. He uses this set when he's still in the Atlesian Military. The other set is called Rider!Mikhael. He uses this set while he's traveling with Grimm.)
(Generally) Soldier: "Commencing mission!" / Rider: "I will not lose!"
(When facing multiple Humans or Faunus) Soldier: "Surrender immediatly, or face the consequences!" / Rider: "Sheer numbers aren't enough!"
(When facing a single Human or Faunus) Soldier: "You're under arrest! Surrender!" / Rider: "Alright... let's go then."
Personality: Mikhael is very stoic in the way he acts towards everybody, but he deeply cares about his friends. Though, he does open up more when he begins traveling with Grimm. He takes orders well, but will hesitate if he is ordered to kill a Human or a Faunus. This comes to a head later in the story. Mikhael will do whatever it takes to complete a mission, even to the point of obsession. If something about someone confuses him, he will try to get answers from that person.
Semblence: Mikhael's Semblence causes his brain to process information 8x faster than a normal person, and increases his reflexs. However, he can only use it in short bursts, as it drains him very quickly. It is one of the main reasons Mikhael was recruited into the AGE program.
Equipment: Omni-Handle - A handle that is inserted into each of AGE's weapons so that they can be used. Without this, Age wouldn't be able to access his Augment's weapon. There is a slot located at the base of the handle, where a Dust Module can be inserted to augment the weapon, or execute a Finishing Attack.
Dusta Pad - A terminal located on AGE's left arm. It desplays AGE's remaining operation time (Time before the safety mechanism kicks in), His teammates Aura levels, and his phone contacts. The Pad can also be used to tap into radio frequencies, and hack into installations remotely, like cameras or computer-locked doors.
Module Holder - A small compartment located at the back side of his belt. Contains all of AGE's Modules.
Heat Gunield - A shield-shotgun hybrid that is usable only by AGE's Fire Augment. A barrel is located at the bottom part of the shield, and the trigger is located on the handle of the shield. The shield also works as a sort of sheath for his sword, the Blaze Breaker.
Blaze Breaker - A blade with a small compartment to insert the Omni-Handle. When a Dust Module is inserted in the slot at the base of the handle, the blade is covered in Dust, extending its length 1.5x.
Form Abilities: Fire Augment - While in this form, AGE makes use of the Heat Gunield and Blaze Breaker in tandem for a more defensive style of combat, relying on his shield and waiting for the right moment to strike. He also gains a resistance to fire-based attacks, and can fling fire balls from his hand.
Finishing Attack: In order to activate a Finishing Attack, AGE must push a button located at the top of his currently installed Dust Module. He only uses these attacks on Grimm, and people who he doesn't consider Human or Faunus.
Grand Blazing - The Finishing Attack for the Blaze Breaker. Fire sprouts from the sword, and AGE stabs his opponent right in the gut. He then slashes horizontilly, leaving behind a deep cut. AGE then kicks them in the air so that the explosion doesn't harm anyone.
Grand Erupt - AGE's standard finishing attack for the Fire Augment. AGE bursts into flames and runs at his opponent. Jumping into the air, he does a Somersault-style kick. His foot lands on their head, and AGE forces his way all the way down the body, cutting his enemy in half.
