Welcome to Beacon: Ultimate Server (Sign-up)

I been working on that.

Uh, Imca, just because you personally dislike one detail about my character doesn't instantly make him a Mary Sue, you know? :/

Besides I proposed a character or two besides that one, which I don't even think I'll play anyways.

Dragons are a pretty good indication of one man, you know it would be much easier to vote if you couls specify which one you want to use.

I vote for Rhyme Beat.

Now, here's what we gonna do, because nobody else took initiative again. We're gonna vote for who all's applied, and you nerds are gonna stop your politics and your slap fights, or at least take it to PM's. if we stay away from commentary on our votes then we can avoid big fights.

Just pick whichever of us you feel would be best in this RP.

My vote is on Stormer.

I love me some new action.

Gonna have to go with Stormer. I'm curious as to his interactions with a great deal of existing characters in here.

How many spots are still open?

Just the one. Hence why all votes cast have only featured one name.

Can I sign up?

If you're still interested,yes. Are you going to use your previously accepted bio?

Yep.

• Name: Salel Lior (Or "Sal" for short). To tie it to the colour motif, his colour is essentially black with his first name being derived from the word Betsalel, Hebrew for "In the shadow" his full name could be translated as "Light in the shadow"
• Gender: Male
• Age: 17
• Birthday: Novus 11
• Race: Human
• Appearance: 6 ft tall and lean with black hair, blue eyes and noticably thick eyebrows. He wear's a lightweight black cloak (more for show than practicality, deep blue chest armour over a longsleeved black undershirt and silver plating on his arm's. He has black denim pant's, and boots.
• Weapons and Equipment: Lunar Rays. Twin wrist-mounted extendable light blades current maximum range is ten metres (This allows it to also serve as a ranged weapon). They also have a secondary mode that allows them to function as an ordinary light. Useful for blinding enemies or simply being an ordinary flashlight.
• Semblance: Shadows. Sal can look through shadows, melt into shadows, teleport from one shadow to the next, and even take someone into the shadows with him.
• Personality: Solitary, intelligent and eccentric, Salel is a man of many ideas. His mind constantly working at a million miles an hour, Salel can often be found reading, using a computer, or pacing back and forth generating ideas. While by no means unfriendly, Salel can occasionally be weary when someone approaches him, and often act's unusually polite and formal (especially for a teenager) during initial conversation, once he opens up, though his internal energy can make him the largest Ham in the building, and his curiosity makes him a good listener. Sal has a tendancy to be blunt though. He believes in fairness and equates that with giving everyone what they deserve without bias. So if he thinks you are an idiot, he will tell you so without reservation. As such, he can often come across as quite arrogant and condescending (a trait he intentionally plays up on the battlefield for his own amusement). Because of this, Salel is unlikely to have many friends but will be FIERCELY loyal to the few he does have. Salel is also very open-minded, and often gravitates to other outcasts, if someone is being ostracized, Salel will be the first to offer them friendship. This however can make him rather naive.

On the battlefield, Salel's talents are best spent coming up with creative plans and strategy's for his team to use. Because of his intelligence however, he has a tendancy to overthink things and will thus defer to another team member in the heat of battle. Salel ultimately prefers to advise rather than lead, but will smack a leader upside the head with a steel baseball bat if he thinks they're being stupid. On a personal combat level, Salel uses his semblance to his advantage, using it's maneuvorability to flank, and ambush his enemies and take them of guard before quickly and ruthlessly finishing them off. This allows Salel to compensate for his substandered stamina and experience compared to more physically adept hunters. A common rule of thumb for Salel is that if he's ever fighting an opponent on equal ground, something has gone wrong.

• Bio: Born and raised in Atlas by his mother Thena Lior, Salel was always fascinated by Atlas's technology. As the son of a field medic, Salel was often exposed to interesting forms of combate technology and loved the idea of these fascinating inventions being used in action. Though he didn't know his father, he was well liked by the people at his moters workplace and would often listen intently to any lectures on tactics, science and engineering. Recently, his mother's work brought them to Vale and Salel's original application to Mantel Academy was instead sent to Beacon.

Well, it's the same bio as before, so it's still accepted. Thing is, we have to wait for our GM to return before we can vote on who takes the spot as well as approve of any new bios that have shown up. Thanks for showing continued interest, though! I'm surprised people who signed up earlier are still interested this later on.

Of course I'd still be interested in joining! It's RWBY for crying out loud!

Can't argue with that.

Still interested, though I want to know if there's like anything wrong, who's the GM?

The GM of the group is Grim Helm. He's been having a rough time IRL at the moment, and because of that, he hasn't been on recently...

"A Rough Time" is an understatement. He's having some serious issues in life, so he can't be held at fault for any of this slowdown.

not that you were blaming him, aquatica. I'm just sayin.

I never said (or even meant to say) it was his fault. Sorry if it came off like that...

No nonononono I was trying to make it so it didn't sound like I thought that you sounded like that!

this is like a badly written sitcom

Well, sticking to my logic, Rhyme Beat.

I don't play favorites, just numbers.

@Bloodplum: Oh, right, you put up a bio. Well, I personally don't see any problem with it. Rom? Amp? Any critiques you have for it?

Enough with the whispering, you two. We've got actual stuff to do.

Cyanea seems fine, with only one caveat: her personality

It seems like something that would be irritating to roleplay with due to lack of, well, speaking

And I mean speaking in a figurative sense, a mute character with a boisterous personality would be fine

But, if she's written as an active character, and not a passive one (*intense coughing* wulfric *cough cough*) it should be fine

I do like her weapon though, so she's got that going for her sweet fuck do i love polearms

She'll be soft spoken more than anything, unless she's comfortable or thinks you can take her full tilt without hating her. Plus she will try to initiate minor competition from time to time. I'm glad you like the weapon, I thought what would work and something that would work for someone designed to be a distraction (that's what she favors). Edit: I made a picture of it's look. It's rough cause I had to use MS Paint on a laptop. [1]◊ Does your character use a polearm?
