Simin Megistus is a character created by Mark Zhang and the apparent leader of Team SLVR. He debuted in the Fanmade SLVR "Silver" Trailer, defeating several members of the White Fang in a shipyard. His weapon of choice is a Synchronized Dust Projection Jacket (SDPJ) called Kore Kosmou, which provides him with his own elemental arsenal.

Simin will be played by Callum Janes, also known as ProfKranc, who is the host of the Abcom (Abridged Community) podcasts, voice director for One Minute Melee, a motivational speaker in Team Fearless, and a YouTube content creator with his How to Make an Abridged series and several One Shot parodies. ^{(Voice demo reel here)}

Appearance[]

Simin is a young man about as tall as an average White Fang Goon, with slightly tanned skin, deep purple eyes, and spiky raspberry-red hair, styled to the left and circling around his head so the back is pointed to his right. Curiously, his sideburns have a line of skin in the middle, leaving two diamond-shaped patches of hair under his ears.

His mouth is partially hidden by the large collar of his iconic jacket, mainly colored dark bluish-grey with thick black hemming on the collar, sleeve cuffs, bottom flaps, and the left side's outer edge, which is fastened by two silver cross clasps at the top and bottom to the right side. He also has most of his emblem, made from three black circles of various sizes in a larger ring like a moon marked with craters, covering the majority of its left side, as well as a small pocket on the lower right next to the opening near the front of his pants. There are additional light grey linear designs running down the sleeves from a circle around his shoulders, which is part of the weapon that is housed on his back, extending into additional smaller pieces of metal down his spine and wrapping over to his collarbones.

He also has light black jeans that go down into his pair of darker high boots, strapped with three buckles and colored the same grey as his jacket on the inside as well as the top of his actual shoes, with the rest of it colored brown and a different shade of grey under the soles.

Personality[]

Not much can be assumed of Simin's personality from his short time on screen, but he appears to be very carefree or positive, as he was first seen waiting for the White Fang to arrive by lazily reclining on his back, reaching up and trying to grab the moon above him. When inside, he messed with one of the Goons by moving a crate box around as if someone was in it, only to kick it over and trap him underneath before grinning at the rest of the soldiers. He was still seen smiling occasionally during the fight with them, especially if he had the upper hand, though he appeared to mainly be focused on winning the battle, and was even surprised when the "White Fang Sargent" broke through his ice sword, perhaps suggesting an overconfidence in his abilities.

Abilities and Powers[]

Similar to his predecessor Brandon Charbonneau, Simin is shown to mainly be a melee fighter, as even without his weapons, he was seen performing a few kicks that could knock over large boxes onto others and even send a large opponent flying with a spinning roundhouse blow. In fact, he appears to be even more focused on close-combat in his fighting style given the fact he so far has no true long-range capabilities shown in his arsenal.

Weapon	Swords, Shield, Greatsword, Lance
Type	Melee, Dust
Weapon Derivation	Syncronized Dust Projection Jacket

Simin's weapon of choice is a Synchronized Dust Projection Jacket (SDPJ) officially named Kore Kosmou according to the description of the "Silver" Trailer.

Worn as a regular jacket, the source of its power appears to be the circular rotating plate on its back containing four orb-like containers of Dust, which can spin around via unknown means and activate whichever orb is pointing upwards. When this happens, the lines down his sleeves turn the color of the Dust selected, and a weapon apparently connected with each Dust type appears in Simin's hand, either shaping itself to what is needed based on its own technology or under its user's power.

So far, the various forms shown are:

Ice Swords and Shield - Blue Dust; used as Simin's go-to choice, he first activates one of the swords for his right hand, shaping it into a pointed snowflake-like design with a handguard and short blade. It is strong enough to deflect basic pistol shots, but when the White Fang used heavier rifle fire as he approached, Simin also summons a shield made of three hexagonal shapes that he held by his hand, which was capable of blocking the bullets as well as creating a shockwave that knocked the enemies down when he slammed it into the ground. Both weapons managed to deflect and knock back the swords and axes of his foes, and they could even withstand several attacks by the "Sargent"'s drill weapon, though it was seen breaking apart slightly with each attack until enough force was used to shatter them entirely. He used this Dust type again on the "Sargent", this time creating two swords to dual wield in a reverse grip that allowed him to perform more rapid strikes on his opponent, and when outside, he was able to channel Fire Dust through his sleeves and into the blades to create a field of mist to disappear in.
Fire Greatsword - Red Dust; after his ice weapons fail him, Simin quickly forms this to knock back the "Sargent" from his finishing hit. Appearing as a large glowing red-orange longsword, possible a claymore, with several curving pointed designs at the ends of its crossguard and down the sides of the blade, its size apparently requires Simin to use it with both hands, though despite its weight, he has no trouble deflecting the "Sargent"'s attacks with its apparent durability and swinging it around for more powerful blows, sweeping out his opponent's legs and slicing him across the back, even performing a series of aerial moves with it. He dismisses it after only a few seconds use, though he reforms it again later so he can throw the blade into the wall of the warehouse next to the "Sargent", where it suddenly glows dangerously bright before exploding, destroying the wall and propelling him forward into Simin's spinning kick.
Wind Lance - Green Dust; this may be seen as Simin's final move, as it was the weapon chosen when he performed his iconic "moon shot" to end the battle against the White Fang. First being formed as a spinning vortex of green winds that solidified into a large lance-like shape that still swirled around wildly even when in his hands - seen with a long grip, a large counterbalance on the end, and a few grooves down its length - he quickly threw it down on his enemies while he was still in the air, and upon hitting the ground, it expanded into a towering tornado that sucked up the soldiers caught in its pull and spun them around until it dissipated a moment later, leaving the unfortunate minions to fall back to Remnant. It is not known if he could make it last longer and use it as effectively as his other more solid weapons, or if he could be capable of summoning two like his ice blades for bigger results in battle.
The Kore Kosmou has one more slot of brown Dust in it that was unseen during the Trailer. Mark has confirmed that he wanted it to be Earth given the relation to the other classical elements Simin uses, but may have changed that idea given how the World of Remnant episode "Dust" possibly confirmed brown/yellow Dust was Lightning.

Semblance[]

Simin Megistus was confirmed to not have any semblance. Despite this, he shows great proficiency in battle and Dust control.

Weaknesses[]

Simin Weakness — While durable, his weapons are not completely unbreakable

Though Simin has an impressive range of weapons, they have been proven to not be completely infallible when his ice shield and sword were shattered by the "Sargent"'s drill, and his other weapons may also be capable of getting broken as well given enough force. It is also not known if he can use his jacket or any other means of defense if he were to run out of Dust, as many commenters noted this could be a problem given his heavy reliance on the source of his power, as well as his seeming lack of a long-ranged weapon.

History[]

Simin originally appeared lying on his back up on the roof of a warehouse in a shipyard filled with cargo boxes, reaching for the moon and apparently waiting for the White Fang to show up in their Bullhead aircraft. Once they were inside the building and moving crates around, he managed to get in as well and start fighting them using his ice weapons. When the Goons were defeated, he was confronted by the "Sargent", who shattered his original means of defense with his giant drill, but after switching between his fire broadsword and dual ice blades, he was able to knock him outside. Out there, he took care of the others by using his wind lance, landing in a crouch as his foes fell from the sky around him, out of commission.

Affiliation[]

Team SLVR[]

Despite being the apparent leader of his own team, Simin's relationship to his partners Lycan Arcadia, Vella Moisia, Ragora Cinarum, is completely unknown, as well as any details surrounding who they in turn are affiliated with.

White Fang[]

Though it is never revealed what his exact nature with the radical Faunus rights organization could be, he was seen to be waiting for them as if anticipating where they would be from prior knowledge of their plans, and did not hesitate to beat them all into submission. He may have history with the White Fang and its members, or perhaps he simply wanted to defeat some bad guys using his skills.

Trivia[]

As confirmed by Mark, Simin alludes to the legendary author known as Hermes Trismegistus, which is the Greek name of the Egyptian god Thoth, who was affiliated with many things such as wisdom, mathematics, writing, magic, and the moon, helping to tie into the rest of SLVR's lunar theme.
- Kore Kosmou, which translates from Egyptian to "The Virgin of the World", also happens to be the first of the "Hermetic Writings" created by this author, where, among the many cosmic ideas introduced, it mentions the four classical elements of Water, Fire, Air, and Earth, all of which are present in the weapons the jacket can summon.
- Hermes Trismegistus is also regarded as a legendary practitioner of alchemy, which puts great importance in the four elements (as well as the four colors that coincidentally make up Team RWBY) and is a trait shared by Simin's predecessor Brandon Charbonneau.
- Strangely, Hermes is the Greek identity of the Roman god of messengers Mercury, which is the allusion of Mercury Black, whose name also relates to the substance sometimes known as "quicksilver". They share a few similar color schemes, but whether this has any relevance is unknown.
His name follows the Color Naming Rule, since "Simin" (pronounced like "Simon") is Persian for "silvery", and his surname comes from his allusion, which is Greek for "greatest".
Though some commenters praised Mark for the original idea of having clothing be used as a signature weapon, the creator himself credited Cinder Fall and her use of Dust-infused outfits.
Simin seems to have a closer relation to the moon than his teammates, as his emblem appears to be a full moon rather than the usual crescent seen in their own symbols and his own Trailer song is appropriately titled Paper Moon.
