Biography:
Carmine was the son of a Schnee Dust company researcher. He was always more interested working on devices and playing with the stuff his father took home to work on. Though his father wouldn't admit it, Carmine was part of the reason for his work success. The child's different perspective allowed him to approach design problems more readily, and his father made it far into the research department this way.

Carmine was applying to attend the academy when he needed to provide something that set him up to be a good hunter. Lacking the physical strength of some of the other fighters, he instead took a design that his father had been working on and disguised it, building it into his hunter's weapon. Later on, his father's project was black-listed as too dangerous to use, and all his research documents were confiscated. His father's bosses suspected that the man had been stealing company secrets, so he was put under serious scrutiny. Nothing has come of it, and he still works for the Schnee company, but it would be highly coincidental should his son Carmine start displaying experimental weapon tech in the field.

Carmine didn't know this is happening, as he had left for the academy to start his first year. Thought of as a nerd even among the nerds, no one but the Schnee family can claim to have first-year students that understand dust, as well as Carmine, does. He hopes that he can be a useful support or dust mastering hunter, instead of one who uses brute force.

Unique Weapon: Gravitas (Stave weapon)

Ranged Form (5 pts) Red Queen Form
The weapon collapses down into a floating satellite over Carmine's head, while the bands of the crook close into a shining metal halo that hovers around his head, providing targeting data to him while the satellite orb fires volleys of impressively powerful beams at targets.

Third Form (3 pts) Red Pawn Form
The weapon compacts and splits down the middle, changing into a pair of rapid-fire pistols that are guided by the targeting orb that hovers between them, making using two at the same time much easier on Carmine. However while in this form, he cannot use the dust he has loaded.
