Appearance: Rajah is a tall young man with an extreme muscular build and an array of very well-developed abdominal muscles. He has wild, spiky shoulder-length hair that's in a ragged pattern of fiery orange and black, tanned skin, and lime green eyes with slitted pupils. His towering physique and frightening scowl makes him appear intimidating to others.

Rajah also supports a burn scar on the left side of his face, to extent that his left eye is slightly blinded. He also has a couple scars on certain parts of his body that he gained from his severe training methods and punishments from his Grandfather.

The most outstanding features of his Bengal Tiger-Faunus traits are Tiger ears on top of his head along with a long striped tail, abnormally sharp canine teeth, two jagged black stripes on his cheeks, numerous black markings on his body that resembles tiger stripes, and retractable fingernails that can quickly become razor-sharp claws.

Outfit: A black sleeveless hoodie that's often left unzipped, exposing his bare chest, grey baggy pants, and black combat boots

Accessories: A tattered rusty orange bandana around his neck, necklace made of dragon scales, and bandages wrapped around his hands

Personality: Rajah is a gruff, boorish, sadistic, and brooding individual who keeps himself distanced from others for extended periods of time, often coming of as antisocial and reclusive. While he's usually calm and taciturn, he's extremely aggressive and possesses a lethally short temper.

His rage combined with his Tiger blood makes him uncontrollable and attacks as though he's a wild animal. As a fighter, he's a ferocious and bloodthirsty warrior with predatory instincts and monstrous killing-intent that all of the characters in the series lack, showing the same degree of ruthlessness towards his opponents, regardless of age, race, or gender, never hesitating to kill them. He inherited such ruthlessness from his Father Shere Khan.

Rajah's barbarism and aggression leads to fear and nervousness in most characters and shows absolute dread whenever they engage him in combat. He's also known to behave in an extremely menacing manner and can easily intimidate the most evil individuals, even Grimm.

Due to his dark and troubled past, he displays a cynical and misanthropic view of the world, as stated by Ozpin, Rajah believes humans to be "Unforgiving soulless creatures who kill others for no logical reason", revealing his burning hatred for humanity, and is willing to seek revenge.

Emphasizing on his barbaric and feral demeanor, Rajah never bluffs, whenever he makes a threat he always carries it out. However, underneath his frightening and malicious exterior, is a sad and lonely soul with a kind heart who's looking for somewhere to belong.

Rajah loathes those who discriminates others for being different, an example is when he viciously attacked Team CDRL for picking on Velvet Scarlatina, a female Rabbit-Faunus. He also shows a surprising degree of sincerity and protectiveness when around Blake, Velvet, and most of all, Ruby.

His Tiger-Faunus traits give him the aspects of a Tiger, such as growling and roaring whenever he's annoyed or angered, crouching, running on all fours, sitting on his haunches, and eating vast amounts of meat. His feline-based features also make him have a liking towards cats, drink water by scooping it with his tongue, be distracted by laser pointers, and mellowed down by catnip.

Semblance-Hellfire: Rajah's semblance gives him the ability to control, generate, and manipulate cursed flames of Hell from any part of his body, which are considerably hotter than normal flames and can easily melt anything in his path, including solid stone and even the strongest metal. His flames are inextinguishable and can cause either agonizing pain or instant death upon contact.

He's also able to control the heat of his flames and create devastating fire-based attacks. A side-affect from his semblance, Rajah is immune to fire and most heat-based attacks and can create limitless amounts of fire. When enraged, the heat of his flames increases significantly. However, when his emotions get the best of him, he loses some self-control over his flames.

Powers & Abilities: Benefiting from his feline based traits, Rajah is an immensely agile fighter with sharp reflexes, exceptional bodily coordination and balance. He's remarkably lithe and his tendons and connective tissues are more elastic than the average humans. Rajah can also perform advanced acrobatic flips without any drawback or strain on his body and balance himself on nearly any object, no matter how small or narrow.

However, his Panthera-Tigris bloodline and hellish training naturally gave him monstrous physical strength, even as a child. Which allows him to lift up enormous boulders, uproot massive trees, takedown and overpower larger opponents without a single use of his aura, effortlessly kill most Grimm with one strike, easily stop an Ursa Major's paw swipe just with one arm, break solid stone, lifts and toss an entire ten story building, and shatter reinforced metal with his bare hands. When angered, his strength increases immensely.

An example of his great physical strength is when he sent a large man flying several meters away, overpowered large Grimm with no effort, and shattering a Death stalker's armor in a single punch.

Another unique trait is his super-speed, easily enabling him to quickly close in great distances without much exertion. He can also move fast enough to the extent that he seems invisible to the naked eye, make opponents lose sight of him, achieve speeds greater than a lightning bolt, dodge continuous attacks from Pyrrha, and successfully land a destructive barrage of blows upon a foe instantaneously.

This has caused others to think that he can teleport or turn invisible when he's actually moving very fast. His extreme speed gives him an advantage against slower or close-range combatants and displays complete mastery of his speed in any environment.

A sub-affect from his immense speed, Rajah can create after-images of himself in order to confuse opponents who are unable follow his movements. Rajah's immense strength also extends to his legs, allowing him to jump vertically numerous stories high into the air and leap over massive gaps in a single bound. He possesses 10 retractable 4in talons in place of each finger.

His claws are naturally sharper than any blade and tougher than human bone structure, easily allowing him to tear through almost anything, like most metals, wood and stone. He even possesses the ability to roar like an actual tiger, loud enough to paralyze even the most evil individuals with fear.

He also has large canine teeth, much like a big cat's. Most of his teeth are large and sharper than normal human teeth and his jaws can bite through stone and solid metal, with his teeth remaining undamaged. Rajah's body tissues and bones are incredibly dense and resilient to damage, able to withstand the deadliest, most fatal assaults and continue fighting nonetheless. Essentially, bullets and knives are unable to penetrate his skin.

He's extremely resistant to massive amounts of electricity and can survive nuclear explosions. Rajah also has nearly endless stamina, allowing him to fight for extended periods of time and attack with continuous high-speed maneuvers without tiring at all.

An example of his durability is when he broke a huge man's wrist by blocking his punch with an opened hand. He's also very impervious to pain, able to shake off the most excruciating injuries without showing any signs of pain, like when he endured his Grandfather's rigorous training methods, which consisted of severe body building exercises, bloody sparring matches, and torturous body conditioning.

He's even able to withstand the harshest weather conditions, both intense heat and severe cold, without sustaining bodily damage. From his gruesome training, Rajah became highly immune to a great number poisons, toxins, and chemicals.

Having being born from a naturally warlike race of Faunus, Rajah is very adaptive. His body and mind grow during battle and instinctively learns from his past experiences. Even more, he can recover from injuries much quicker than humans and normal Faunus. His body also grows stronger after near death.

Rajah's true talents lie in his extraordinary hand-to-hand combat skills. Such skills allow to effortlessly defeat multiple enemies and even an entire army without a single use of his semblance or aura, easily disarm armed foes, kill any Grimm barehanded, and utterly defeat Pyrrha Nikos (A fighting prodigy) in combat.

He has mastered numerous forms of Chinese martial arts, even at a young age, making him more versatile in combat. But he primarily uses Tiger-Style Kung Fu. Ozpin described his combat prowess to be "Out of this world."

In battle, Rajah's a vicious and intimidating fighter that very few can defeat, and is not afraid to fight to the extremes. He attacks directly with no qualms, utilizing his frightening strength to shatter his opponent's defenses and his tremendous speed and agility for his attacks to land in very quick succession and dexterity.

Rajah can even deal out incredible damage with rapid jumps and wushu-acrobatic movements that can take out a multitude of Hunters, Huntresses, and Grimm before they can even react, making him both resourceful and unpredictable. He's also willing to use his claws to strike an opponent.

Aside from his typically brutish personality, he's a tactical genius in the art of battle, able to adapt to his foes' fighting style and exploit their strengths & weaknesses and use it against them, though it's mostly due to his hardwired fighting sense rather than practiced study, making Ozpin describe him as an instinctive fighter. Rajah also possesses vast knowledge of Grimm, Hunters, Mythical creatures, Animals, and Faunus.

Due to his Tiger traits, Rajah naturally possesses predatory instincts, making him an expert of hunting and tracking. This ability also allows him to be an effortless master of stealth, enabling him to sneak past others without being detected, using the environment to his advantage. He's even able to walk or run without making a sound.

Rajah also possesses superhumanly acute senses. He can hear the faintest sounds from several miles away that no ordinary human can hear. He also displays great night-vision, able to retain the same level of clarity in total darkness. Rajah can recognize objects and living things by scent, and detect if someone's lying by the sound of their heartbeat. He can even use his heightened senses to counter stealth.

His Tiger blood gifted him an extremely long lifespan and the ability to age at a slower rate than humans and normal Faunus. Despite being over 400 years of age, he has the physical appearance of a 19 year old young man

History: Rajah was born from a family of one of the most aggressive, feared, and most powerful Faunus that ever existed, the Tiger-Faunus, and is the son of the oldest and most powerful Tiger Faunus in all of history, Shere Khan. 400 years ago, his father was sealed by an unknown force, being left in the care of his Mother and Grandfather. His kind has been at war with humans for centuries due to them being seen as nothing but savages because of their warlike nature.

His family and race were trained to be barbaric and bloodthirsty warriors in order to serve a purpose in the Great War, Rajah was trained the same way. He grew up outside the walls, which are beyond the safety of human kingdoms, and undergone rigorous training and punishment since birth. Rajah was severely punished by his Grandfather whenever he failed a mission.

However, his mother comforted him whenever he felt insecure about himself. At the early age of 10, him and his family brutally slaughtered every single Atlas Army member and were victorious in the Great Faunus War, despite being small in number. That was until a group of unknown Sorcerers attacked them. They were unbelievably powerful and easily held their own against his family, later overwhelmed them. As the fight continued, they were starting to get overwhelmed.

As one of them were about to kill Rajah, his mother jumped in and took the fatal blow, killing her instead. The mysterious Sorcerers later killed the rest of his family while burning down his home in the process, leaving him as the only survivor. Rajah then made a vow to kill every single human he comes across and find the people who murdered his family, as well as becoming the strongest member.

Two years later, at the age of 12, he activated his semblance by unknown means and found one of the Wizards who slaughtered his entire family. The Sorcerer seemingly had the upper hand, but was later overwhelmed and brutally slaughtered by Rajah. As 400 more years passed by, Rajah gained a fearsome reputation, to the extent that even The White-Fang tremble in fear at the very mention of his name. He then found another one of the Sorcerers that killed his family. Rajah viciously beaten him and incinerated him with his Hell-flames. He was later encountered by Ozpin, the Headmaster of Beacon, and was given a chance of redemption.

Well what do you guys think? He's a badass right? Also I have three reasons on why I made my character a Tiger-Faunus: #1, The Tiger is my favorite wild cat, #2, our kind has made Tigers endangered so I made him hate humans with a vengeance, and #3, I want to prove that Tigers can lose their fear of humans and make my OC realize that not all humans are bad. Anyways, leave a review.
