Occupation: 1st Year Student (start of the story)

Weapon: Raijinken – Means Thunder God Fist in Japanses, based on the Japanese god of thunder Raijin. A powerful glove developed by the best scientists in Atlas. This glove's primary function is to consume Dust cartridges in order to produce energy based on whatever cartridges it consumes. It can consume any type of Dust but the scientists behind this designed it so that the glove would be able to produce more powerful waves of energy if it were to consume Lightning Dust. Ghost uses this glove to greatly enhance his striking power and create projectiles once in ranged combat.

Semblance: Lightning Fist – Ghost can produce small currents of electricity from his body. He is also capable absorbing in a certain amount of electricity, but there is a limit to how much he can absorb before the electricity overtax his body. Ghost primarily uses this semblance in two ways, either to enhance his striking power or absorb it into his body to strengthen his defense. This does not however strengthen his Aura, but instead strengthens his physical body thus allowing him to take more damage. This means that he can’t just replenish his Aura by absorbing more electricity. His Aura can still run out like any ordinary Huntsmen. Due to his experimental genes, Ghost possesses a larger than average pool of Aura while also capable of producing more electricity and lightning than other Huntsmen with similar Semblances.

Fighting Style: Ghost practices Fleet Admiral Maru’s special style of martial arts which involves a lot hand cutting, stabbing and slicing techniques, slashing the opponent with an open hand. Ghost is considered to be one of if not the best student of this style of martial arts outside of the Admiral himself.

HISTORY:

Ghost is a genetically engineered Huntsman, one of the first of his kind, developed in a science lab as part of a cloning/genetic experiment funded by the Schnee Dust Company itself. He was planted fake memories of a normal teenage life with normal parents just like anyone else. Only sometimes he had blackouts, gaps in memory he could not explain. These gaps occurred whenever he needed to be put back into the lab.

Despite growing up in a life of lies, there was one person during this period who Ghost felt a genuine feeling of affection and connection with, that person was Admiral Maru’s wife Lapis. The Admiral and his wife would constantly check up on the status of the experiments, which gave them some time to bond, despite the risk of exposing the truth. The boy saw her as his own mother, for the woman invoked some deep feelings inside of him, feelings he did not even feel with his real mother (or rather the "real" mother in his fake memories). The day Lapis died was the day the boy felt he’d lost everything. Her death strengthened his gut feeling of suspicion that he was living a life full of lies, and that everything was not what it seemed.

Recently, Ghost wanted to ask Maru to train him in his deadly martial arts style after watching some old training videos of Lapis teaching said style to her new recruits. Maru refused at first, not wanting to get even more involved in the situation and potentially jeopardizing the experiment, but some of the scientists told him not much wrong could happen as long as he didn’t tell the kid the truth about his life. So eventually Maru accepted Ghost as another one of his pupils. That said Maru still continued being cautious with Ghost and it was one of the reasons why he never offered Ghost a position among his squad of assassins, no matter how strong he had become.

Ghost’s gut feeling of suspicion grew even stronger once he discovered he was going to be partnered up with Oliver, Lisa and Diamond. More specifically he got suspicious of how uncannily similar him and Oliver looked appearance wise, and how he first thought Lisa and Diamond were twins. Seeing that all of his teammates’ weapons were bodily attachments of some sort did not help either. None of them recognized each other, despite being test subjects living only a few blocks away from each other in a large research facility.

PERSONALITY/TRAITS:

Ghost is a serious, straightforward man with strong moral codes and principals. He has a strong belief in justice and won’t tolerate anything he sees as evil. Ghost strives for excellence in both an academic environment and in the battlefield. He is honest and brave to the point of naivety. His strict moral codes, naivety and inability to loosen up is probably also the cause of his struggles in making many friends and being social. That and the fact that he grew up in what’s basically a test tube with little to no outside interaction.

Ghost subconsciously views Admiral Maru as the father he never had, thus he carries a great amount of animosity towards his two sons Azur and Crim, especially Azur due to his vain, uncaring, and cocky attitude that to Ghost comes off as a sign of disrespect towards the Admiral (which admittedly is partially true). The two’s similar ability to control lightning just makes more fuel for their rivalry as both of them want to prove they are the strongest student in the school. Ghost really bears a strong feeling of disdain towards the two brothers, feeling they got where they are because of special treatments, which is ironic since Ghost does not realize he was created to be genetically superior to the average huntsmen and that he’s been getting “special treatments” all his life. The day he finally realizes that fact will probably be the day his world view falls apart.

The reason why Ghost looks so similar to his partner Oliver is obviously because they have similar DNA in their basic blueprints. That being said, the specifics of their genes at the end of the are different. As such they have different abilities, different builds, and to some extent their different personalities are influenced by this as well.
