Biography/Personality/Appearance/Weapons/Semblance
Slade was born and raised in Vacuo. When he was 16, like any other students, he was enrolled in Shade Academy where, like the other schools, he took part in the team up initiation. He paired up with one of his childhood friends Cap before being officially teamed up with the other two partners, Tanner and Ube.

Most often in the group, Slade is the cool, calm and collected member of team RUST, most oftenly to break up any squabbling and is there to listen to issues and help when he can. Outside of that, Slade is adventurous and loves that adrenaline rush during extreme sports and often practices manly on his skate/snow/hover board, depending on the situation.

Slades normal attire is grey trousers and, most notably a Zipped up Jacket thats Grey with Dark Blue lines. On the back is his logo, a skull with electricity coming out of it. He has Greyish hair as well.

Slades weapons are two electric tonfa sticks which can join together to make a staff with both sides electrified. In addition to this, Slade can change the weapons modes to guns which can fire electric bursts towards his opponent. Finally, when his weapon is in Staff mode, he can change it to rifle mode that can, like the dual gun mode, fire electrical bursts.

Slade discovered his semblance during a mission. He can cover his body with electricity but cannot fire it outwards. If he needs to fire, he channels the semblance through his weapon (in this case his tonfas) which can give off electric blasts.

Behind the scenes
Slades name is based of the actual colour Slade (75,79,105 on rgb) and Quartz is a gemstone which has different colours, for Slade however, the colour is clear Quartz.

Slade was the first member cap ever brought into the rp, during the RCM timeline with Cap believing him to be dead, during that it was Slade who used the pistol sword Combo before giving them to Cap and using dual escrima sticks similar to nightwing. This weapon was then brought in to be his weapons in the beacon story but changed to tonfas on a later date, in rp it was per his request whereas in real life, it was because of a miscommunication between Cap and Joker.

Slade is based a bit off nightwing and Fixer from Star Wars Republic Commando.
