Welcome to Beacon: Next

Here's my Nobel offspring:

• Name: Isabelle Nobel
• Gender: Female
• Age: Almost 18
• Birthday: Finem 21
• Race: Human
• Parents: Pius—isn't the father. This is Gregory's daughter, whose name was suggested by Pius.
• Appearance: Obviously, she can't fly on her own, and those aren't her clothes◊ Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold from her father and Icy Blue Eyes from her, Isabelle is a Statuesque Stunner, standing almost 6 feet high. Her slim body betrays a smooth agility and speed to her movements, but they hide a hidden strength inherited from her father. She's a little less curved than other girls her age, but she's curvy enough to turn heads when she walks around town. She dresses herself in a golden shirt with a brown jacket, black pants, and boots that go up to her knees.
• Weapon Name: Inquisitor◊, an advanced battle suit based off of Dies Irae's designs, colored gold in the same way Dies Irae was colored grey (Change all the blue to gold and that'd be close enough to what it looks like).
  • The version Isabelle wears is Mark IV, soon to be replaced with Mark V. Like Dies Irae it has rocket boosters on its back and under his feet. Unlike Dies Irae this armor can fire Dust from any part of its surface, and its arms can either transform into a powerful Arm Cannon like this◊ or extend a Blade Below the Shoulder like this. When not transformed, Inquisitor's palms still have the Dust repulsors from Dies Irae. Inquisitor Mark IV can cycle through eight mixtures at a time, indicated by its glowing eyes, chestpiece, palms, and lights on the shins.
  • Inquisitor can split into individual parts and move at Isabelle's command, and the entire armor can move independently of her if she chooses, thanks to a friendly AI she programmed into Inquisitor named Amberley. Inquisitor and Isabelle are connected by her Aura with tech derived from research on synthetic Aura-emitting beings. Thanks to that Inquisitor can always find her no matter where she is.
  • Color Coding for Inquisitor: This color-coding system is based on Dies Irae's, with a total of sixteen different mixtures.
    • Red: Fire
    • Orange: Destruction (Lava)
    • Yellow: Lightning
    • Chartreuse: Nature
    • Green: Wind
    • Spring: Vitality
    • Cyan: Ice
    • Azure: Sonics
    • Blue: Water
    • Violet: Impact
    • Magenta: Corrosion
    • Rose: Illusion
    • White: Light
    • Gray: Metal
    • Black: Gravity
    • Brown: Earth
• Semblance: Meta-Sight - Gives Isabelle lots of non-offensive vision power. She can see far away, really close up, in the dark, across the EM spectrum, detect Aura and Grimm, and can even see where people have been from the afterglow of their Aura (though the trail obviously fades with time). Her eyes glow gold when she uses her Semblance.
• Personality: Isabelle is a soft-spoken but outgoing girl, more given to smiling and socialization than Pius ever was. Still, she shows traits that were certainly influenced by Pius' presence in her childhood like her curiosity, intelligence, and firm conviction in her beliefs. Like her uncle, she has sworn against killing anything that emits an Aura and dedicated herself to defending mankind from the evils that surround it. For a few years now she has become more cold towards the Vale family for reasons she is currently unwilling to discuss. She's a little nervous about the fact that she's as bisexual and amorous as her Aunt Sarah; she's afraid she comes on too strong when it comes to expressing affection.
• Bio: Isabelle was born into a comfortable life with her parents and their extended families. The first time she'd ever felt uncomfortable about the world she lived in was when her uncle Pius visited one day with wounds from a particularly tough hunt. When she asked him why he got hurt, Pius took an interest in the girl's empathy and showed her what he did for a living. Ever since then she's wanted to imitate her uncle and her father, so she enrolled at Beacon to follow in their footsteps.

• Name: Amethyst "Amy" Hood-Irving
• Gender: Female
• Age: 17
• Birthday: Umbra 4
• Race: Faunus (Wolf)
• Appearence: Here.◊
• Parents: Amy was adopted by Silvia Irving at a young age. Her biological parents are Wolf Faunus Terra Hood (Daughter of her mentor Rust Hood) and Tuscan Stellar a friend of her from Grimm and Gauntlet's Group. Both of them were Hunters who perished fighting against the Grimm.
• Weapon Name: Sunbane◊ A pair of weapons by default that summon plasma burst that are hot enough to melt the bones of fighters without aura. They can lock together to form a large club that can form a much larger more powerful plasma burst that takes far longer to charge.
• Semblance: Wolfpack. Amy can form up to five wolf-like creatures out of plasma. These wolves fade away if not actively maintained and any injuries they suffer Amy also suffers. Amy uses them to overwhelm opponents, but they put her at a lot of risk as well and she usually balances the need for offensive presense and her ability to maintain the strain of keeping them active.
• Personality: Amy is sociable friendly and loyal, but isn't afraid to be critical to those she believes need to improve. Because of this Amy is often perceived as two-faced, but in fact she is just generally honest to people's good sides and their bad sides. Amy is passionate about the stuff she loves and isn't afraid to show it including her hobbies and games. She is also feircely protective of family and friends, relentless in punishing the people that hurt them.
• Bio: Amethyst was teally young when she lost her parents, and thus considers herself far more Silvia's daughter than her biological parents. Amethyst was encouraged to do what she loved by Silvia and when her interests proved to be less than popular overall she ended up defending herself and others from teasing and bullying. Despite this she tended to form a small social circle until one day she found herself lost alone in the woods. She encountered a Grimm unarmed and ended up rescued by a bunch of students who she didn't really care for before. She then began to beleive in the power of strength in numbers to the point that she began to experience difficulties when found completely alone, to the point she experiences panic attacks if left alone for more than 15 or so minutes.

@Immie: Given that they're spraying paint and how our artist's Semblance works, I'm guessing it's just there to not have the bullets too costly to make. ^_^;

Yes, but they wont cause any impact damage on a grim at all, so unless it is the semblance doing the damage.

... .22 wont even penetrate a human skull.

Just to give you an idea of how weak that cartridge is.

edited 11th Jan '15 2:41:24 PM by Imca

From what I see, they're basically glorified paintguns anyway.

I mean, the cartridge might be weak, but if she can grow a big red spike out of that splotch of paint a moment later, she's probably fine. ^_^;

Thats why I was asking if Sat relised how weak the rounds were Ferg yea if the semblance is doing the damage that's perfect, I was just pointing out the weapon itself wont do really any thing.

.22 is for anti-vermin, and target practice, if its bigger then a mouse 9 times out of 10 your not going to do much of any thing to it, ever seen one?

The whole cartridge is about the size of your fingernail.

Edit : Here an image◊ on the left of the penny is .22, where as on the right is .223 the smallest round used by any military, also known as the rifle round that has trouble penetrating drywall, and yet look how many times larger it is?

Alright guys, here goes!

• Name: Iris Melody Aurion
• Gender: Female
• Age: 17
• Birthday: Aurum 18th
• Race: Faunus (Falcon)
• Parents: Stormer Aurion and Chiharu Yamamoto
• Height: 5"7"
• Weight: Unknown (Teenaged girls normally don't reveal their weight.)
• Orientation: Unknown
• Appearance: The Musical Wings
• Theme Songs: Rainbow Night Sky Highway (Idle), Total Sphere (Battle)
• Weapons and Equipment: 343 Techno Beat: A flying attack drone◊ that Iris controls with a laser pointer-like wand. She pushes a button on the wand and swipes it around as if she were flashing a sort of light show to have the drone fire out a laser beam while she directs it's movement. By turning a small dial on the wand to one of 6 different settings, the drone's laser beam will have one of 6 different attack types, each powered by a different kind of Dust and themed after a type of electronic music:
  • Trance: Fires two red tendril-like beams that lock on to a target, but deal weak damage.
  • Chiptune: Fires energy that travels across walls and floors to her target.
  • House: Fires a yellow beam that heals her target.
  • Breakbeat: Fires a large green laser blast.
  • Synthpop: Fires 3 blue laser shots in a spread that reflect off walls.
  • Dubstep: Fires a normal-sized purple beam in a corkscrew shape.
• Each type of attack only has so much Dust before it runs out and must recharge, though she keeps extra cartridges of Dust hidden in her vest.
• Semblance: Vanish: Using her Aura, Iris can make herself invisible and able to pass through walls for a short time. However, it requires her to concentrate very hard, so if she can't use it if her mind is too clouded and focused on a lot of other things, or is unable to focus at all. She also can't use it while she's using her wings to fly, as she must concentrate more on making her wings flap. The maximum amount of time she can stay invisible before her Aura runs out is 10 minutes. Her eyes glow purple while it's active, though most cannot see it due to her being invisible.
• Personality: Compared to her father, Iris is a very shy and timid girl. She was bullied a lot when she was younger due to being a Faunus, leading her to become reluctant to make friends. Though she wants to be a Hunter like her father before her, she's not sure if she's able to live up to her father's legacy and her ancestors' heritage. She loves composing music more than anything else, and it inspired the design of her weapon as well. Iris is a very nice girl when you get to know her, but it'll take a lot for her to open up to people.
• Bio: Born to Stormer Aurion and Chiharu Yamamoto, Iris is the firstborn of the next generation of the Aurion family. She also has one younger brother named Lightning, who is one year younger than her. Bullied when she was young for being the product of a human-Faunus union, Iris became introverted and unwilling to make friends, for fear of being mocked and bullied again. She found solstice in her musical skills, spending most of her time making her own tunes instead of meeting new people. However, after years of watching her father defend the kingdom as a Huntsman, she finally worked up the courage to ask her parents to send her to a school where she could learn to be a Huntress on her 12th birthday. They told her yes, and soon, she was given her own weapon and sent to Signal Academy. After 5 years there spent training and learning how to fight, she eventually graduated with above average grades, and applied to Beacon Academy to follow in her father's footsteps. She was soon accepted into the school, and is ready to walk through the same hallowed halls that her father once walked.

Glen's spawn.

• Name: Connor Whorple
• Gender: Male
• Age: 19
• Birthday: Cor 17th
• Race: Human
• Parents: Glen Whorple and ????
• Appearance: The man himself◊ (Stands 6'7", hair is a dark reddish-brown).
• Weapons and Equipment:
  • Cruach: A compact double barreled shotgun with a long bayonet mounted underneath both barrels. Cruach's shells are infused with dust so that when fired, Cruach unleashes a handful of short range bolts of electricity alongside a hail of shot (Cruach is also capable of firing regular shells, Connor just prefers not to).
  • Warden◊: A basket-hilted broadsword forged for Connor by his father.
  • Connor also carries the shattered remains of Mors, his father's claymore, (kinda like Aragorn with the Shards of Narsil) and occasionally uses the remains of the hilt as a shortsword. Connor intends to reforge the blade at some point, but isn't sure if he's worthy to wield the sword of his ancestors.
• Semblance - The Quickening: Connor's Aura manifests itself around his blade as a halo of crackling energy, violently sparking when it makes contact with another weapon and cutting through flesh and armour deeper than it would normally.
• Personality: Though proud of his heritage and loyal to his clan and kin, Connor is a bit of a black sheep in comparison to most of Clan Whorple. While he does enjoy fighting as any good Highlander does, Connor isn't below using tactics that his parents and siblings might consider dishonourable if it means that he lives to fight another day (though retreating is something he'd never consider). Outside of battle, Connor is a friendly and boisterous young man who wants nothing more than to have a good time with any friends nearby. While fairly patient and even-tempered, any percieved insults to Connor's kin or his fighting prowess will result in violent retaliation.
• Bio: Like his father and mother before him, Connor was raised to be a warrior from birth and has been battling rival clans since he could swing a sword. In his 19th year, Glen Whorple, Connor's father, was dealt a fearsome blow that shattered Mors and nearly killed him. With his father out of commission, Connor decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a Hunter. With his father's approval, Connor took the remains of Mors and headed south to enroll in Beacon.

Offspring first. Will look at Originals later.

@Nat: Very unique. Welcome to Beacon.

@Isabelle: ....That is almost exactly the same as Lena's Semblance. Are you sure about this? Granted, that would make for an epic rivalry...

@Amy and Connor: No problemo.

@Grim: That may be half the joke.

What about Iris? Is she good to go?

Huh. Very well then. Welcome.

No problemo.

just looked at Lena's semblance.

Im sorry if this is assuming, but Byakugan?

So is this like a sequel to Beacon Ultimate?

edited 11th Jan '15 5:45:58 PM by TroyandHawk

...You got me.

Yeeep. Canonicity is dubious, but is more canon than Gaiden.

honestly it was the blind spot that allowed me to figure it out :P

Got you? Grim you even kept the blind spot, not that hard to figure out.

Might do Jack's daughter.

It's a future to an alternate universe of Beacon Ultimate. That way things can happen in each RP that may contradict each other and nothing would be wrong: whatever occurs in Ultimate isn't Next's past if doesn't make sense for the present of Next, and whatever occurs in Next isn't necessarily Ultimate's future.

Is this making sense to you guys?

edited 11th Jan '15 5:53:15 PM by Insano

Makes sense to me!

its a fun little spin off, thats all I need.

...I thought Sharingan was too much.

I see everyone wants to copy Nat's abilities...

now I don't feel unique and cool anymore. thanks.

Changing the rounds for the pistols to be more like airsoft.

edited 11th Jan '15 5:59:40 PM by Saturn

honestly Im thinking about maybe changing up the weapons and semblance for Selene before the RP starts, just running through ideas...

I think I'm more suited towards making elegant creative weapons than over the top ones.

Yeah honestly, the similarities between Iris and Nat's powers/equipment are...kind of distressing.
