Description
Updated the artwork for Sable Avorio. Interesting to see how I've progressed from his first (hideous) incarnation, hehe.
Some things have changed besides his clothing. His weapon has actually, has changed a little as well as his age he's slightly older now.
Name: Sable Avorio
Colors Represented: Sand, Silver, Gold
Age: 19
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 210 lbs
Inspiration/Reference: Nuada Airgetlam
Unique Traits: Sable's gold eyes and the highlight in his hair are side effects of his semblance. His hair used to be one uniform color and his eyes were previously dark brown.
Quotes: "Heh... it's been a long time since I've had friends like this. Since coming to Beacon I'm with others now, who can help me understand better what I can do and I can help them along their way... I can finally be me..."

Backstory
His mom was a huntress who went to Beacon. She wasn't the best combatant but she was a brilliant weapon smith, the "repairman" of her team if you will. Eventually she met Sable's father who had inherited an armor and weapon repair shop from his own father and they got married and she quit her occupation as a huntress and decided to run the shop with Sable's father (mainly because she realized being a huntress wasn't for her due to her poor combat skills and because she wanted to start a family). Skipping ahead to four years before Sable went to Beacon, one night, Sable and his family were coming from their shop while it was unknown to them that they were being followed by two White Fang members. After they arrived home, the two Faunus burst into their home and robbed them at gunpoint and so thus Sable grew to distrust the Faunus as a whole, but with a prejudice rather than a complete dislike. After that incident, Sable had enrolled in Signal Academy for the first time so that same incident wouldn't be repeated, as he wanted to protect his loved ones. During his time there, he tried his best not to use his semblance frequently, as he didn't have very good control of it. One day it flared out of control during a training session, and out of fear, he was bullied and isolated by the other students. So, he spent the next four years training intensely and by the time he was at his fourth year at the combat school for the most part, he had become very skilled. He applied at Beacon and was accepted shortly thereafter.

Personality
Due to the incident that happened four years ago, Sable has had a burning desire to protect everyone close to him that blazes as hot as the sun itself, despite the fact that his easygoing personality doesn't necessarily show it. He's a great tactician due partly to his mother and his older cousin, Umber, whom he hung out with as a kid.
He refuses to back down from a fight, and can be stubborn in that respect. He tends to talk during fights slinging around one-liners whilst fighting and even though he has an easygoing personality, like a light switch, he tends to go from polite, dorky and witty to frightening and sarcastic towards his enemies during fights. This radical change is quite a sight to see and scares his teammates at times.
He loves spicy foods and singing.

Semblance
Radiant Redirection--
Sable has the ability to absorb all forms of natural light and expel said light energy-- mainly sunlight and the light produced by fire, however he has the ability to absorb other forms of natural light including moonlight, albeit a little slowly though. This light-absorbing semblance gives him an extra ability-- he can turn this absorbed light into hard light and make it offensive rather than just harmless light.
One example is one of his most basic abilities and that's releasing it in large bursts. By doing this, he can create an intense flare that blinds his foes. He also uses this in quite a unique way-- by releasing it through his emblem on the back of his vest, it makes a sort of rocket propulsion and allows him to "fly" (although he isn't really flying and this can use up his aura if used for too long).
He can also form an offensive aura around his hands, that adds on to the concussive force of his punches allowing him to make shockwaves of light with a fairly large area of effect when slamming his fists into the ground.
A couple other things is he can detonate dust from up to 20 feet away using a laser-like light beam, however, this requires precision and concentration on his part, as its a focused beam that can easily miss; he can also make someone spontaneously combust using this method as well, but for some unexplained reason the flames that are produced are white-gold rather than the typical color of fire (it also uses a ridiculous amount of Aura and usually isn't worth the risk). His preferred use of his semblance though, is making hard-light daggers for throwing at foes, and a hard-light gladius for fighting with. The daggers have the strength of glass and shatter and fade upon impact, and while the sword is a bit stronger, it can break just as easily if struck with a physical impact, though it can cut through energy-based projectiles with ease. The ease of making such objects at the cost of strength balances things out, however, and both are as sharp as razor blades.

Weapon
Oirlámh de Tsolais--
Oirlámh de Tsolais is a SEDG (Singular Emissive Dust Gauntlet). He wears it on his right arm.
The gauntlet itself grants Sable great concussive force in his punches, however, when combined with his semblance using his light aura, this can amplify them to devastating power-- even further when used in conjunction with the dust crystal embedded in the shoulder piece of his weapon.
Oirlámh de Tsolais' secondary function is adding elemental properties to his punches and semblance-based attacks, via the dust crystal embedded in his shoulder. The gauntlet also allows him to focus the power of his semblance more, allowing him to make simple hard-light projections with his right hand. When it's night, he can use the fire from Oirlámh de Tsolais to charge himself up with light energy when no other natural light is present or when he needs to charge fast (as moonlight charges him VERY slowly. Though when at full capacity with absorbed moonlight, all of Sable's semblance-based moves become significantly more powerful than with sunlight. However, the charge time is too impractical to use in most cases).

Fighting Style
Sable is surprisingly agile and acrobatic despite his armor and his size. He typically utilizes flips and acrobatic movements and when paired with the rocket booster-like effect his semblance can provide him, he can prove to be a very difficult opponent.

Trivia
For some unexplained reason, the only solid object his semblance can penetrate (when it's not being used offensively) is gold. It's believed that it's due to the way gold's element composition interacts with his light based semblance.
