Tales of Beacon -- A RWBY RP

Why not, I'll jump on the wait list train:

• Name: Ieria Jade
• Inspiration: Ieria Jade, Nightstalker hunters from Destiney
• Gender: Female
• Age: 17
• Birthday: Umbra 31
• Race: Snake Faunas
• Appearance: A tall girl with red hair, green eyes and dark, almost pitch-black scales covering her body. She well developed muscuarly but that can be difficult to tell underneath her many layers of clothing. She tends to wear a variety of dark green and other eath-toned clothing be is never without her hooded cloak which splits off into three tails and is a rich forest green.
• Weapons and Equipment:
  • Serpent’s bite: A combination bow and spear. Has a blade on one end to serve as the spear tip. When shifting from spear to bow form the string can be unhooked and spools into a spool located next to the pulleys near the other end of the bow and the limbs lock into place. She also carries small dust charges that can be used to turn her arrows into delayed explosives or freeze arrows for capturing targets.
  • Shadow bombs: Smoke bombs laced with darkness dust, creates clinging shadow in addition to smoke
  • Fang. A heavy battle knife that is also balanced for throwing.
• Semblance: Berserker: According to her whole family she’s inherited the family semblance to go into a berserker state that increases her strength and speed but impedes her decision making. She’s never experienced this however.
• Personality: Ieria is not the most sociable person. It’s not that she dislikes people or anything like that. Just as the result of growing up in a small town and largely isolated from the world she’s not sure how to deal with most people. She also take a great deal of pride in her hunting skills and loves a challenge.
• Bio: When Ieria was young someone tried to kidnap her from her family. While the kidnappers did not succeed in taking her the infant girl did fall into a River in the struggle and was never found by either the kidnappers or her devastated family. Further down the river and outside the kingdom’s purview a hunter who had stopped for a drink of water found the crying baby in the shallows, a blanket bearing the name “Ieria” still wrapped around her. The hunter took the girl home and with his wife and their toddler helped raised the girl. Living in a village outside the kingdom, contact with national news was sporadic at best and Ieria grew into the finest hunter in her village as well as the others nearby, gaining a reputation as a prodigy in the region. Then one day on a hunting trip and stopping at a town nearby Vale for supplies she caught a True Crime special on a faunas infant named Ieria who had disappeared from her family 16 years ago. She traveled back to tell her family what she had discovered and told them she was going to stop by the Jade compound before making her way to Beacon. Stopping there she was welcomed with open arms by the Jades when she explained who she was, Fransica and Oscar crying and not letting go of her for hours on end. After a short visit and a blessing from both her birth family and her adopted family Ieria made her way to Beacon and passed the entrance exam with impressive scores in stealth and marksmanship.
• Interested in being team leader: Nope

How dare.

I dare all

With Sol withdrawing from the game, someone has to take Jack's place. Nerf, you and your character Sumi are in.

As for you, Guyshane... sorry for taking so long with saying this, but I'm liking where you went with Ieria. You're accepted, and will be alerted should there be another opening.

I'm sick, half-asleep and just farted this out. Rip it apart as you see fit.

• Name: Nadeshiko 'Pyro' Kurosawa
• Inspiration: Susanoo
• Gender: Female
• Age: 17
• Birthday:
• Race: Human
• Appearance: Pyro is a beautiful, Asian woman. Or, she would be if most of her body wasn't covered in ugly red burns. Her body is marked with a horrific burn and she wears an eyepatch due to losing an eye. She's also missing her left arm, having replaced it with a robotic prosthetic. Generally, she wears a sarashi and a black-and white kimono with black modesty shorts. She tends to wear a conical, steel hat to hide her burnt face and open-toed boots. She has shoulder length hair that is streaked with ashy white.
• Weapons and Equipment: The Four: Whereas most people rely on one weapon, Pyro wields four, as befitting an assassin's daughter. She keeps these in various places inside her kimono, generally in her sleeves.
  • Totsuka-no-Tsurugi- Pyro's katana and the weapon she uses the most, Totsuka is a standard katana which she keeps on her left hip. The Blade is made of a special, dust based metal to counter the sword's inherently brittle design. The special thing is the fact that the sheath hooks a metal ring over the hand gaurd, keeping it non-lethal until she activates the thumbprint detection on the sheathe.
  • Kama Itachi: A Kusari-Gama, with a chain that extends about ten feet, instead of a counterweight, it has a dagger with two blades, one sticking straight up, the other jutting out a ninety-degree angle. The chain comes off, meaning both of these are usually stored in her sleeves. There's the third head that she keeps at her hip, this one is unique in the fact that it's a thin, flat ring with an inward facing blade, resembling a flying guillotine. Pyro can also connect the chain to the hilt of her katana.
  • Nue: A long, four sectioned spear with two, leaf-shaped spears on both ends. It folds up, with three folding points. She keeps this tied and folded to her back.
  • Isonade: A large, single barrel handcannon. It's flintlock and fires one shot, but this blow can easily pierce through armor plate at close range. strapped to under her right arm.
  • Karasu: A series of small, throwing knives. These generally work against faunus and humans, due to their small size, even then-they're more of an attempt to wear the opponent down.
• Semblance: Amme-Onna: Nadeshiko is able to generate a pale, white mist around her, drawing on air to make the area around her harder to see. Generally, however, she sticks to forming a pillar of fog around herself or somewhere else as a distraction.
• Personality: Pyro is a bit of a delinquent. She smokes, she's somewhat sarcastic and, despite her intentions, she can come off as rude. Despite, or perhaps because of her injuries, she absolutely hates any attempt to pity her-though she'll use it to gain an edge. Nadeshiko is terrified of any sort of fire larger than a lighter. Unfortunately, due to being raised an assassin, Nadeshiko has really no concept of 'talking it out'. Instead, she will always respond to any offense-perceived or otherwise by challenging them to a duel to the death.
• Bio: In the swamps of Kajuka, in Anima, there is a clan of well-trained assassins. Famous for working for both the black market and kings. However, once there was an assassin who, during a sparring session, lost her arm and fell into a firepit, scarring herself horribly. Pyro, as she came to be known, was seen as a bit of a weakling for that. However, despite her attempts to be tough and cold-hearted, Pyro failed again when she realized that the idea of taking the life of a sentient being disgusted her. Realizing that she wasn't able to support the family name, her father faced to options: Kill her, or strip her of her name and cast her out. She jumped on a ship and eventually was invited to Beacon-a possible path to redemption.

Name: Vani Lyne

Inspiration: Nothing particular, except maybe the Belmonts from Castlevania woth regards to weapon.

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Birthday: 6 August

Race: Arctic Owl Faunus. He passes for human by hiding his Faunus trait by covering his neck.

Appearance: His mission outfit.◊ He's normally much more casual. His Faunus trait, feathers just under his neck, is something he tries his best to hide.

Weapons and Equipment:

• Shear Feather: A Dust whip/sword that can also turn into a blaster pistol. Everything about this weapon relies on Dust to project the energy to form the weapon. In sword form, it's able to expend Dust to send out sword beams. In whip form, it can use an entire magazine to create an explosion at the tip when it's cracked. Looks like this when not activated◊.

• Shear Talons: Simply a clawed glove for Vani's left hand, made to handle the whip directly without damage. Vani's cape is also made the same way.

Semblance: Competitive Spirit: A passive Semblance, this makes Vani stronger, faster and so on by a factor depending on how many other active Auras are nearby and that he can perceive. If there's 1, it's a 1.1x boost, 2 is 1.2x, 3 is 1.3x, and so on, up to a max of 3x at 30 other Auras. Completely depleted Auras do not count towards the boost.

Personality: Vani is a firebrand, competitive and brash, always looking to surpass others. This goes doubly so for his many older brothers and sisters, the desire to prove himself superior to them being the reason he decided to become a Huntsman. A show off, he's the type of person to take even small victories and gloat about it, and tries to look as impressive as possible. Once he sets his mind on something, not much is going to stop him...apart from an occasional bout of laziness if it goes on too long without immediate gratification. He's paradoxically both a hard worker and a lazy ass, depending on if he feels like doing something or not. Despite his personality, he's surprisingly gentle, not able to bring himself to join the White Fang with their violent, extremist ways. That doesn't mean he's incapable of holding a grudge though, which he does very easily, especially if he thinks he's being treated like a kid in over his head. Despite how he may act when his siblings are involved and disagree with them being part of the White Fang, he cares for them deeply.

Bio: Born in Atlas, Vani is the son of two poor Faunus miners for the SDC, and the youngest of 10 siblings. Unlike the rest of his family, his Faunus trait is easy to conceal, letting him pass as a human, averting himself from most of the Faunus racism his family experiences, much to the ire of his siblings, several of whom are part of the White Fang. They often teasingly called him "Baby Bird", and competition among the siblings was high, and Vani was perhaps the most competitive, driven to prove himself to not be a "Baby Bird" as they called him. With that idea in mind, he decided to go for what he thought was the most impressive profession of all: being a Huntsman.

• As was to be expected though, his parents couldn't afford to send him to school. This didn't stop him though. As soon as he was able, he was doing honest - and sometimes dishonest - work in order to help raise money for tuition. No matter how degrading the work, he pushed through with it, not willing to give up on his dream. This came at the expense of his normal studies though, leaving him quite book dumb, but street smart from dome of his less legal jobs. Eventually, he managed to raise enough to get sent to combat school, and when he eventually passed, he applied to go to Beacon rather than Atlas Academy, to spite the place that had caused his family so much torment, deny them his "mad skills" to be used for their benefit. Now, his dream is within reach.

Are you interested in your character being their team’s leader? If so, why?: No. His competitive nature means that the leader being his rival to beat is far more interesting.

• Name: Ulf Bán
• Inspiration: White Wolf
• Gender: Male
• Age: 17
• Birthday: 15th of November
• Race: Faunus.
• Appearance: Ulf wears a long white jacket and pants. The jacket is always open, exposing his chest and abs. Ulf also has a white wolf tail, and his hair is, well, white. He has a strong jaw, rather tall, with broad shoulders. His skin is as pale as a person who has spent much of his life not in the sun. Ulf is deaf in both ears, and uses sign language to communicate with others. His hair is very wolfish in appearance, and he has personally made parts of it stick up like wolf ears.
• Weapons and Equipment: Ulf wields a silver woodsman's axe which transforms into a shotgun. He refers to this weapon as Carver.
• Semblance: Ulf can generate small storm clouds, roughly the size of his hands and feet.
• Personality: Ulf is a bit of a social recluse, having never been terribly good with social interactions. He was born deaf, so he had to learn from an early age how to do sign. While he seems like a mute brooding loner, he's actually a very nice person who loves making friends, and has a knack for knowing if people are lying to him. When it comes to friends, Ulf is very protective of them, and refuses to let them come to harm. Ulf is a fast learner as well.
• Bio: Ulf was born deaf, so he had to learn from an early age how to do sign. His parents did a good job of making sure he could as well, and tried to find as many ways as possible to ensure he could overcome his disability. However, they were poor, so sign language was all Ulf could learn. He was the light of his parents lives, and they dotted on him endlessly. He felt like he was a prince at times, and that his family was never really poor. However, Ulf wanted to be a Huntsmen as well. Growing up in Vale, his mother managed to read him stories of great Huntsmen and Huntresses, and he became enamored with these stories. So, his parents managed to pull together to make sure he had enough money to get to Beacon academy, and got help from all different kinds of people, both human and Faunus. Ulf intends to make sure that their generosity is not wasted in the slightest, especially once they helped him forge his own weapon.

Ulf has no interest in being a team leader at all.

Alright, got my laptop back, so I'm going to do more acceptances/denials now.

TroyandHawk: Like with guyshane, sorry it took so long to officially accept your sheet, but as I mentioned before, you made the changes I asked for so you're in. You're now officially on the waitlist.

UndyingPhoenix: Oooh, Owl Faunus! Accepted. You're on the waitlist now.

Vampireandthen: ...I have to be honest, in games such as this communication and interaction with your fellow players is key, and to put your character at a disadvantage on that front... well, I'd be a lot more comfortable if the concept were being played by someone who I knew would RP well, but unfortunately how you've RP'd in the past hasn't exactly left good impressions with me. I can't in good conscience accept this sheet.

I'm getting better, honest. I swear, I've been looking at my faults and working on improving them.

Can you prove that, though? I've already had to deal with a person who promised they'd cooperate, only to essentially piss off everyone else in the game and decide to bow out rather than try to fix their mistakes. Frankly, I'm not very eager to risk that again. I'm sorry that this isn't the answer you were hoping for, and I really would have liked to say yes to your sheet, but I don't know what else to do.

So.....I put that much effort into a sign up for nothing?

Gotta admit, I'm feeling tempted to just get rid of it now. Very tempted. I tend to wreck everything I create when feeling pissed off. Better bug off before I do that.

EDIT: I have calmed down now. Is there anyway for me to get in?
