"Our wings alight, our souls aflame, we speak this hallowed vowThrough fire and frost we fly, for those to whom we pledged our livesOur blades for our kingdom, which shall never fall while we draw breath"- Traditional toast by Team MINT before combat missionsLike many teams from Atlas who all enlisted in Atlas' special forces division, Team MINT was kept intact after graduation, and trained to work as a unit. Alone, they are tremendously skilled fighters, but together, they are nearly unstoppable.Magnolia Xanthos, the team's leader, is a fierce fighter and a model soldier. Honorable, brave, and gifted with impressive tactical brilliance, she is nevertheless stubborn and proud. She wields Ardor, an enormous sword that doubles as a flamethrower. Her armor is also equipped with a dust-powered jetpack, which allows her to fly for short distances. Her semblance, Solar Flare, allows her to create a nimbus of brilliant flame and energy which she can use as a weapon against her foes.Ignatius Aetherius is a quiet, introspective man with a fervent religious faith. He belongs to a faith common among the villages near Atlas, the Truespeakers. He uses the Final Cry, a pair of machine pistols that double as scimitars. His boots also have small rockets on them that can be used as a jump boost or to increase the power of his kicks, and his mask has a built-in targeting system. His semblance, Sonic Boom, creates an explosion of sound to deafen, injure, and stun his enemies.Nox Gallus stands apart from the professional demeanor of her teammates, being friendly and open, even to strangers. She acts as the team's mage, using a powerful staff to shoot blasts of energy, or create various constructs using Dust. Her semblance, Entropy Storm, creates a blast of spectral energy filled with ghostly hands that inconvenience foes by tripping, disarming, grabbing, or otherwise hindering them.Thanh Ryutai is aloof and distrusting, though she mostly hides it being a polite demeanor. She excels at stealth and reconnaissance, and acts as the team's scout. Her weapon is a large steel bladed fan that can become a bow.Characters from my RWBY fan fiction story ARGTRWBY font by lightning-in-my-hand
