history

" For nearly two decades, August lived as a recluse"
63 (May 2023 is Arsenal's release month, because legends age due to lore/writers updating them) by the time he returns to the apex games -> so he was 43 by the time kit siang dies & 35 when he joined the thunderdome games. 8 years of thunderdome experience fame and fortune.
"It was here, in combat, that August would meet the love of his life, Sok Leng. They would quickly marry and have a son, Nathaniel."

personality
joined the thunderdome to cope with the death of his parents
became a drunken recluse to cope with the death of his friend
joined the apex games to save his son, but also cope with the idea that he might be outshined (maybe)
believes has the rights to be a peacock with flashy moves, which he can back up with how skilled he is (1v3ing several times and winning)
he can be selfish/self absorbed when it comes to fame/being in the spotlight. less now in his older age, but it's certainly still there based on the arsenal trailer. it's also because it's extremely fun to fight.
even though he was neglectful during the start of his hermit years, he still loves his son. it's why he forced torres silva to change the roster with nathaniel out and him in. don't know if this is also because he wants to be in the spotlight again need to wait for more lore.
abilities/skills
( explain ic abilities/skills here )
prefers medium-close range weapons with some exceptions (shotguns, smgs, pistols)
Passive - Sling: A sling where he can store a third weapon. The sling weapon cannot take attachments.
Tactical - Whistler: Shoots a projectile that heats up an enemy's gun as they shoot. Overheating causes damage. Aim longer to lock-on.
-- icly it kinda shortcircuits simulacrums/robotics based on the arsenal launch trailer?
Ultimate - Tempest: Nearby teammates get faster reloads, faster unarmed movement, and infinite ammo. The sling weapon will be ungraded to gold.
equipment
whistler, pocket watch, kit siang's red sunglasses
