Oh, it's a twofer? Then I vote Pheonix.

• Name: Glen Whorple
• Gender: Male
• Age: 19
• Birthdate: Ventus 31st
• Race: Human
• Appearance: "Follow my Blade"◊ (not pictured, tattoos)
• Weapons and Equipment:
  • Mors:◊ One of many ancestral swords used by Clan Whorple which Glen earned by proving his worth as a warrior in numerous battles.
  • Bàs:◊ A Targe made for Glen by Clan Whorple's blacksmith.
  • Biorgadh:◊ Glen's Dirk, often wielded in the same hand as Bàs for additional stabbing power (like so◊).
  • Tàrnach:◊ An electrified Gauntlet with a built in, retractable Gatling gun. Very handy for smashing things as well as shooting things.
• Semblance: Highland Fury: Channeling his Aura into his right arm, Glen's strength increases immensely, but only in his right arm. While admittedly somewhat confining due to the specificity of how this semblance works, what cannot be understated is just how much it empower's Glen's already prestigious strength allowing him to lift thing with one hand that he might struggle to lift with two, as well as allowing him to swing his weapon of choice at absolutely superhuman levels.
• Personality: Glen Whorple is a bit arrogant and is very eager to tell tales about all the fight's he's won, whether the fight in question is against Grimm or just a street fight he happened to get into one day. Even though he's got a bit of an ego on him, Glen likes to hear other people's stories and enjoys learning new fighting techniques in an attempt to improve his skills. As one could assume by Glen's Proud Warrior Clan heritage, he loves fighting and sees it as a way to prove both his ability as a warrior and worthiness as a person to his friends and allies. Glen isn't the most social person, but he enjoys the company of any friends he makes and likes to keep them close.
• Bio: Hailing from a Clan of proud warriors and a family with a history of battle going back centuries, Glen has been learning how to fight since he could walk. Seeing as his clan was composed entirely of rather strong and capable fighters, Glen was taught how to fight by his family and friends. Upon completing his training, Glen began fighting in numerous battles with rival clans and proved himself worthy of inheriting Mors, the sword wielded by his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather's father's father.
• Unfortunately for Glen, this gift was coupled with some remarkably unexpected news; Glen was being forced into marriage with a lass from an allied clan to strengthen ties between Clan Whorple and Clan MacLeod. Despite his protests, Glen found himself married to Kate MacLeod the same day he inherited Mors. Despite getting along well with Kate, Glen decided that he needed to spend a bit of time away from his Clan and promptly headed south in the dead of night a week after he inherited Mors.
• The next few months of Glen's life were spent wandering from town to town working as a everything from a bodyguard, to a bouncer and even spent a few weeks aboard a pirate ship. During a shift working as a bouncer for a seedy nightclub, Glen first learned of the Hunters when he overheard a pair of men discussing how one saved their asses from a horde of rampaging Grimm. From that point on Glen knew he had found his calling in life. Knowing that simply asking wouldn't do, Glen decided to get into as many fights as he could until he caught the attention of a hunter. After about two straight months of fighting his way across the country, Glen finally caught someone's attention (he still doesn't know their name) and that someone recommended him for Beacon.
• After several months seperated from his Clan, Glen was eventually banished for abandoning his Clan and stealing an ancient and revered artifact (Mors), making him non-existant in the eyes of his Clan and kin. To Glen this is a fate worse than death and has left him without much in the way of purpose in life, forcing the Highlander to try and find something to guide his way through this darkest time.

Steel and D.

Sweet! Looking forward to the RP!

So, is that everyone?

Pretty sure it is. If Spart and Gyro are the only ones that left, and I'm pretty sure they are. We're full.

Is the new jack ok?

I'm down with it.

New Jack is fine. Locking in the votes.

Let's work out which team the new guys will be on. We'll restart soon-ish.

Alright, should we move discussion to the discussion thread now?

Yes.

Okay, here's a link to it for the newcomers.

Grim, I'm intending to make an updated sheet for Lucas, but I've ran into some issues that I've been messaging you on Skype about for days.

This sheet is finally done!

• Name: Lucas Krigsvart
• Gender: Male
• Age: 18 at his time of his entry into Beacon, 19 at the current time of the plot.
• Race: Human
• Appearance: Rather tall, with a lean yet athletic build. Pale skin (almost white, in fact). Black hair that’s rather longish, with it down to a bit past his shoulder, and covering the right side of his face. Clouded blue eyes, and scars across his face from the incident. His outfits are somewhat utilitarian – pants, shirt, jacket, and blindfold.
• Weapons and Equipment: Mistelteinn, Lucas’ weapon, is a pair of arm-mounted crossbows with retractable blades and a storage compartment filled with Ice dust. A short tug on the trigger fires either an arrow or a pure ice Dust shot if an arrow isn’t present. Pressing and holding down on the trigger extends or retracts the blades. Lucas also carries several arrows of various kinds, stored in containers on his belt
• Semblance: At its most obvious, Lucas’s Phantom semblance seems to be a simple Aura vision ability, allowing him to see others’ Auras, and use them to determine the semblance, emotions and sometimes even thoughts of their wielder. However, there’s a couple of things that set it apart from others. First, he can project his Aura out in waves, allowing him to perceive surroundings and also locate other Auras more easily. Secondly, Lucas can use the Aura he sends out to hide himself. At first, it simply quiets his movements, but with concentration he can make shadowy forms surround himself, making it harder to see his features or actions, and even results in people not noticing him as long as he doesn’t draw his attention to him. However, this ability isn’t exactly perfect. Those who know of him and this ability have a better chance of finding him and seeing through this effect. In addition, this does not protect from Aura perception, infrared vision, or any form of perceiving other than sight and sound.
• Personality: On one hand, Lucas is devoted to being a Huntsman. He’s loyal to a fault, won’t back down from his duties and is willing to do whatever it takes to protect innocent lives. On the other hand… he’s rather silent, which usually hides his moodiness and low self-esteem. He also tends to not ask for help, even when he really does needs it, and drive himself to his limits in training and missions.
• Bio:
  • Lucas grew up in Naudhiz, a town just north of Vale – an area known for harshly cold temperatures and even harsher Grimm. Lucas’s family was one of great Hunters – every head of the Krigsvarts were Hunters who made a name for themselves, his father included. It seemed kind of obvious that Lucas’s twin brother Jacob would be the new head of the household, since he was the eldest twin and seemed to have the most potential. Luke, however, was more eager to take that spot than his brother, and hoped for a chance to show that he was worthy of that position
  • Things changed, however, a few months before Lucas entered Lighthouse, Naudhiz’s sole combat school. His father had caught a rare subspecies of boarbatusk, which soon got lose and charged at Lucas. However, the boy managed to defend himself – and even slay the creature – using only a butcher’s knife. The boy ended up entering Lighthouse a minor celebrity
  • Soon, though, it wasn’t enough for Lucas. He pushed himself harder and harder in his classes, even as the students called him a teacher’s pet behind his back. At the end of his second year, he took the Beacon entrance exam early and got a near-perfect score, to the surprise of everyone in the town – especially his parents, who only learned once the results came in that their son had taken the entrance exam behind their back and lied about them giving him permission to take it. That night, the stress in the house came to a boiling point, with his father flat out saying that he did not trust Lucas’s judgement on the matter, and sending him to his room for the evening. Lucas then proceeded to sneak out of the house, hoping to kill and bring back a Grimm to prove to his father he was more than capable of becoming a Huntsman.
  • The boy, however, was unaware of the influx of high-level Grimm in the forest that night, and the lack of ammo he had with him. The results, needless to say, were disastrous. Lucas was brought home broken, both in body and in spirit. The knowledge that his reckless actions had nearly gotten himself and the village killed, and had likely caused the death of his uncle (who had ran into the forest to try to rescue him), had left him hesitant to keep going. But after some time Lucas finally tried to put his life back on track. He would end up training himself in secret, so he could fight without the use of his eyes. Within three years, he finally managed to meet the requirements to attend Beacon again.
• The Year So Far: During Initiation, he got partnered with Jack, and ended up with more than his fair share of bad luck during school. Giant Grimm attacks, dealing with cybernetic experiments and corrupt businessmen, and fighting back terrorists – all of them, and what he perceived as an inability to keep up, have been taking its toll on him. At the same time, though, he’s been slowly making friends – and a girlfriend, in the form of one slightly obsessive aspiring author.

Summary of Edits:

1. Basic updates to Personality and Year So Far, due to how he’s played out in Ultimate. Same with Bio, only with regards to that backstory thing I wrote a while back called The Prodigy.
2. Complete overhaul to Weapon, as I wanted a weapon I could visualize working, as opposed to the poorly thought-out Chain-Scythe/Bow combo that was Frostbite. On a side note, Jacob Krigsvart’s Sword/Shield combo (the weapon I originally named Mistelteinn before the update) is now named Daganvisi.
3. Update to Semblance to not only clarify the Aura sight thing, but to also give some more tangible aspects in line with his stealthier fighting style. Assassin class servant Lucas is ready for approval! XD

wake me up

• Name: Ai Huang
• Gender: Female
• Age: 17
• Birthday: Ignis 6 (during the Vytal Festival)
• Race: Faunus (Tiger)
• Appearance: Post-Timeskip Maturation◊
  • A short faunus girl, averaging at 5'1" height, with blonde and black-streaked hair, teal eyes, tiger ears, and a tail.
• Weapons and Equipment:
  • Tiger Teeth, Gan Jiang (right-hand) and Mo-Ye (left-hand). A set of wired mechanical yo-yos each with five retractable rotating blades that extend to form the shape of a star. Dust is used as a propellant to super-accelerate the discs, change their trajectory precisely in the air, or reel in lightning quick.
  • An assortment of small cartridges packed with Dust. They are inserted into a slot on the discs of her yo-yos, which allows them to change functions. Includes ice, smoke, blinding flash, and sleepytime gas flavors. They can also be used on their own as remotely-detonated sticky bombs.
  • A pair of boots with thrusters and blades in the soles for use as a nasty surprise.
• Semblance: Burden. Ai's Semblance alters her physical weight at will. She can adjust herself from as light as a baby to a bit over half a ton ^note this is a huge nerf, and focus the effect on individual body parts. She uses this to anchor herself, control her balance, or increase her power.
• Personality: Ai is friendly, upbeat, but also perfectly capable of acting rather sly. Her slightly exaggerated friendliness is a direct response to her old, angrier and lonelier personality. Ai relishes in practical training, and works very hard to push the limits of her body, her Aura and her Semblance. She has a tendency to sleep through theory classes.
• Bio:
  • Ai descends from members of the Qiu Hu clan, a clan of tiger faunus that existed in pre-modern Vacuo history. They were immortalized into legend as a tribe of warrior monks, but truthfully were vicious bandits responsible for some of the Faunus War's worst atrocities.
  • Ai and her brothers spent their early childhoods in one of the provincial regions of Vacuo. They soon immigrated to a small village not far from the City of Vale. Ai's parents then had four more children, forming a large family of seven children in total.
  • At a young age, Ai's family celebrated the Vytal Festival in Vale. Ai, a poorly-behaved brat at the time, received a yo-yo as her birthday present, and she would quickly become fixated with the toy.
  • In the year that followed, by their request Ling taught Ai and her brother some of the Qiu Hu clan's fighting techniques, though nothing explicitly used for killing out of fear that it would lead the two children down a bad path.
  • Ai's village was later attacked by Grimm. Ai and her brother tried to fight the Grimm on their own, but Ling was forced to intervene and fight with her rusted old weapons, which broke almost immediately. This proved to be her downfall, and while Ling's sheer overwhelming power brought the Grimm down with her bare hands, consequently she was paralyzed from the waist down.
  • Remorseful, Ai decided to become a Huntress so that her family would never be hurt again. Her parents were supportive of her decision, and sent her to attend at Signal.
  • At Signal, Ai gradually replaced the pieces of her beloved yo-yo with high-powered mechanical parts, then saved up money to create an identical duplicate to be used in her left hand.

Changes accepted.

• Name: Imuka Yukimarimo
• Gender: Female
• Age: 17
• Born: Cor 8th
• Race: Arctic Fox Faunus
• Appearance: Small, lithe, Faunus - Imuka is about the farthest one could be from imposing, standing a whole 150 cm tall. Her long, white hair and blue eyes are accentuated by a ribbon that she wears over her ears - not to hide the fact she's a Faunus, but to muffle sound and make her sensitive hearing more manageable.
  • Something like this with ribbons◊, and this without◊
• Weapons and Equipment:
  • Raiju◊: A robotic wolf that fills several roles in Imuka's arsenal, such as attack, brawling, and defense of its master, a means of rapid transport via functioning as a mount, and the carrying of equipment into the field. Raiju's primary armament consists of Kaminari Shuriken and Arashi.
  • Inari: Inari manifests itself as an armored dress with a flowing pattern, similar to this◊, only with armor plates covering nearly all of its exterior. Hidden beneath its plates are several shuriken launchers and a set of 4 microdrones which she uses as extra hands for repairs and medical treatment.
  • Kaminari: Small short range rockets, or "shuriken" that are loaded with Lightning dust, and emit a trail of lightning when fired, upon impact they create a bright flash and a loud bang disorienting a target, if direct impact is made the target gets a high voltage low amperage shock comparable to being tased.
  • Arashi◊: Arashi is a heavy magnetic slingshot that exists to fire large rockets at a high initial velocity. Its extreme bulk means that it spends most of its time mounted to Raiju as its primary weapon system. However, if the opportunity presents itself Imuka will detach it and use it as a sniper weapon system, a task at which it excels greatly. Given that it fires larger "Ya" rockets, multiple warhead types, or "Yajiri" are kept on hand.
    • Fubuki: Fubuki rockets are loaded with a two stage warhead of ice and healing dust, and leave a trail of snow behind them when fired. Upon impact they create a sheet of ice that can be used to encase a target, while the healing dust prevents damage such as frostbite.
    • Raiu: Raiu rockets are the Kaminari rockets' big sibling - though they carry the same payload, it acts in diffrent ways. Instead of the Kaminari's "flashbang" stun warhead, Raiu missiles lodge themselves into a surface after an impact and emit multiple lightning bolts over a short period of time - useful for setting traps with little notice. As a safety precaution, a Raiu will unload all of its electrical potential if it hits an Aura-defended target, to minimize risk of accidental impalement.
    • Siren: Siren rounds so named because of the whistling sound they emit. When fired have no warhead, and just large engines packed densely with dust. They accelerate to extremely high speeds and slam into the target functioning like a spear or harpoon, due to there lethal nature they are only used against non-living targets.
• Semblance: None, her various cybernetic enhancements have taped into her aura, and prevent her from activating one naturally anymore, but as a tradeoff she can now mentally control machines whose wireless signals she can access.
• Biological Traits: As befitting her nature as an arctic fox Faunus, Imuka has a few differences from a baseline human. A strong point with her is her heightened senses of smell and hearing - but she is entirely colorblind, perceiving the world only in monochrome. This doesn't play well with her already naturally poor eyesight, so most of the time Imuka uses drones to navigate, as she's lucky to see more than shadows most of the time.
• Personality: Imuka is very passive and submissive, putting the desires and happiness of others above her own. While she is determined to protect others, she is very reluctant to harm any one even those that her position as a huntress puts her in opposition to, unwilling to become the weapon Stella wanted her to be, and the monster some people view faunus as.
• Bio:
  • Born under the name "Miku Yukimura", Imuka was abducted from her parents by an organization known as Stella at a young age. Selected due to her family's line of sembalnces which have all involved the melding of ones mind or body with artificial constructs, something that in theory should prevent rejection... Stella's plan was to create a living drone control network, a way of extending combat experience beyond a single huntsman as a potent weapon to use against grim... At least that is what they said. This was task at which they were fairly successful at, at least until she was unable to take the stress of being treated as nothing more than a weapon any longer and went rouge.
  • Using her position as the base's drone control system to her advantage, she managed to turn the equipment in the base against her captors, in what can only be described as a slaughter. The whole event left her horrified with herself and quite repentant. Now seeking asylum from Vacuo, and a way to correct the damage she has caused, at least in her mind, she applied to Beacon Academy to stop the agents of destruction known as Grim, but on her own terms.

Summary of Edits:

• Decided to wrap her equipment up into something that is more a combination of her B1 and B2 equipment (bringing back the bow and droping the sheild), as well as to give her drone control a use besides extra hands
• Wraped up 6-7 diffrent types of rockets into 3, with slightly diffrent behavior depending on how tey are used.
• Made them a bit more flavorfull too.
• Made eysight worse to compensate for heavier equipment, she is now stronger with her drones, but weaker without.
• Incoperated information from other RPs into the bio section.

That is a lot of firepower. Love it.

Accepted.
