This is their "First day at Beacon" appearance. Some stuffs have changed from the concept art and the androids are no longer the prototypes.

What is a king if he didn't had even a little bit of swagger? Should he exhibit eloquence and finesse in the frontline? Or should he act with bloodthirst and zeal for the battle's sake? That was Volfram's train of thought as he casually walked off a path littered with fallen enemies while his three vassals was clearing the way for him straight through a horde of Grimms.

Name: Volfram du Vermilion

• Volfram - French lit. Tungsten
• Vermilion - a lighter hue of red
  

Gender: Male
Age: 17
Birthday: May 21

Color: Vermilion (Main), yellow, red, other dark colors

Race: Human

Original Influence/Reference: Along with his teammates (OC pages to follow), their recurring theme is metals of the periodic table. Volfram has Tungsten with his first name.

Volfram's weapon, design, and fighting method was heavily inspired from the Japanese daimyo, Oda Nobunaga, and the French militaristic leader, Napoleon Bonaparte.

His design, weapons, and his vassals was inspired from Nobunaga's method of warfare which included riflemen along with his footmen, which was pretty new during that time. While his origin, his militaristic genius, and his short height were from Napoleon.


Occupation: Heir of the du Vermilion Family, Former Student of Atlas, Former Researcher of Atlas, Student of Beacon

Team: VRML (pronounced as "vermilion")

The color vermilion usually represents the fire element which in turn is associated with warfare. Oriental martial arts practitioners, honorable medieval knights, valiant winged cavalrymen, and warring states warlords are only the few of those who were adorned with such color. And as such, the members' theme follows the same suit stated above, albeit reversed.

Another recurring theme for the VRML is having a name associated to the metals of the periodic table.

• V - Volfram du Vermilion - An Atlas transferee whose offensive and defensive capabilities revolve around on direct manipulation of multiple android puppets
• R - Rumiany Miedz
  
• M - Mana Shirogane - A rather curious and reckless country girl who hunts with her ginormous shield.
• L - Lu Yun Ta

Personality: Volfram is scheming, manipulative, and domineering but benevolent heir of a noble family. While he's tacit and pragmatic in the Hunting Grounds, he values all his comrades above all. In his eyes, even the lowliest pawns has worth, as long as they're willing to make themselves better. He'll even help them by personally repairing or upgrading their weapons. He treats anyone with respect, as long as they're under the same banner or they have a common goal. He also tend to give unsolicited advice after observing a fellow Hunter's moves.

Backstory/History:
   [REDACTED]

Abilities:
    Volfram is a micro-management based caster who excels in battle strategies and tactical movements. Both of his offensive and defensive capabilities rely on strategical positioning or, if the enemy proved to be too smart, direct control.
   
    His strategies is proved to be vital to his team's survival.

    On the start of a chase, Volfram can command Tanegashima, the sniper, to start shooting, as Ranmaru and Sumire is setting up their positioning. And once the melee starts, Volfram could either command Ranmaru to slash and dash away, or command Sumire to pre-emptively strike with a long ranged energy ball from her palms then charge and strike, or make them both attack at once.

    Ranmaru's, Tanegashima's, and Sumire's AI is said to be as competent as an advanced Atlas robotic guard, but if the enemy was too smart for the AI, Volfram could directly manipulate one of his androids at a time as long as needed.

    But once an ally becomes incapacitated on the field, Volfram can offer them to be "resurrected" back to battle by making them wear the Circlet of Domination, as long as the person in question still has the will to fight and Volfram had already observed and analyzed a good amount of their moves.

    Once the circlet is worn, their brainwaves would be then synchronized to Volfram's gunbai, which in turn is connected to another android to be deployed with the identical weapon the wearer had. Their control to the android assigned to them would be impaired due to the limitations of the android itself. Volfram can also choose to take full control of their android much like how he does it with his three vassals if needed.

    All-in-all, these mechanics of his essentially makes him the conjurer or the necromancer if this was set on an RPG instead.

Equipment:
     Suzaku Gunbai - A handheld device in a form of a war fan that serves as the "remote control" for the three vassals. It also allows control of Dust is the user needs to attack or defend themselves.

• Model 01-Ranmaru - Armed with a dust conductive blade that deals quick cleaving slashes. High armor but low agility. Her AI tends to be aggressive and also prioritizes attacking first before everything else.
  
• Model 02-Tanegashima - Armed with a rifle that shoots Crystal shards from a range. Low armor and average agility but has long range. Her AI tends to be evasive. She prioritizes evasion and distance from the enemy.
• Model 03-Sumire - Armed with knuckles that allows strong palm strikes to be dealt. Low armor but high agility. Her AI tends to be passive. She'll always block first and then quickly deal a powerful counter attack.
  

    Circlet of Domination - A device worn in the head which allows the user to control one of Volfram's android other than the three main androids.

Aura/Semblance:
      Volfram's semblance is the Coup de Vitale. This allows Volfram to project a part of the Aura he have to anyone or anything. This strengthens his allies but harms all Grimms since they existed because of the lack, or absence thereof, of Aura.
