I don't think introductions are necessary for most of us since a lot of us already know each other.

It feels like a reunion

i'm not running this, thank dust. goodbye stress.

So uh, hey, checking in. Nice to meet you all. Oh, and the link on my sheet should be fixed now.

Thanks, John.

As I promised, here's Bianca's butler.

• Name: Violet Onyx
• Gender: Female
• Age: 29
• Birthday: 10th of March
• Race: Human
• Appearance: Prim and proper, as befitting a Rosso's butler. Stands at 5'7 (without heels).
• Weapons and Equipment: To ensure Madam Rosso's maximum security, Violet carries Fangs of the Beast, two ornate swords that double as energy lances; they can release beams composed of pure energy and given Dust, ensuring Violet's capability to adapt to any foe willing to harm the Mistress.
• Semblance: - Icy Vein - On demand, Violet can wrap herself in a thick, protective layer of ice. It causes her no harm, but makes it that much harder to come near her due to the sheer biting cold that surrounds her. Trying to hit her without Fire Dust is a quick recipe for frostbite. This effect can also be applied to individual limbs or body parts, usually as means of offense.
• Personality: Impeccably polite and professional, but otherwise cold and impersonal. Violet has no business in socializing with anyone on the campus. The only exception is Bianca and to her she is loyal to a fault. Otherwise she lets cold logic dictate her next course of action. Pragmatic, almost ruthless; she generally dictates her proceedings under Bianca and is ready to do questionable things to keep her safe.
• Bio: Violet Onyx comes from a big and distinguished family of Atlesian militaries. Having completed her training in Atlas Academy and then passing the Officer School with flying colors, she was expected to become a prominent figure. Then, however, something happened, and Violet received a dishonorable discharge from the military, received only for the gravest of offenses. Chased away from home as an embarrassment to the family, she eventually stumbled into Vale where Giovanni Rosso took interest in her as a woman of particular talents.
  • With his help the investigation into reasons behind Violet's discharge was reopened. Glaring inconsistencies and oversights were spotted, together with signs of corruption among the judges that voted her out of the military. Violet was pardoned and her name was cleared, but did not take an opportunity to return to Atlesian military, disillusioned with its sense of justice. Instead, she remained at the Rosso household as a retainer and then, once her benefactor's daughter was sent to Beacon, was sent after her to make sure nothing bad happens to her.

i did not ask for this.

Made a small edit to Scarlett's sheet, I had meant to write that her backup dancers are also tangible to each other as well as Scarlett herself.

Also, what's this about a butler? Did I miss something?

Oh, and what are we doing about who's going on what teams? Do we all work that out OOC or does Aquatica GM it or do we just let it work out organically in-game or what?

Usually, we randomize, but I dunno how Aqua is planning on doing this.

Ah, it's just a minor initiative of mine; Bianca (Grim's character) comes from a real rich household and, unlike Weiss in canon RWBY, she's got her dad's approval. Unfortunately, dad is also overprotective and thus sends a butler to assist Bianca in her studentship of Beacon.

She won't be around all the time, of course, but she's basically an NPC to help out and such.

Hi John! Sorry for not responding sooner, my head's been all over the place the past 24 hours. Ferg's already explained the situation with Violet pretty well. As for team creation... well, I'm not going to do it right away, but the planned team creation will consist of me RNG'ing the pairs, followed by allowing some changes to the pairings before finally RNG'ing the teams. Fear not, I'll let you guys know of the pairing/team results before it needs to happen in the game to give people time to prepare.

Also, I started the game a bit ago. Hope you guys are ready.

Is just an NPC Maid under Violet. Figured might as well post it. Got the okay from Aqua.

• Name: Analisa "Ana" Silvari
• Inspiration: Hino Rei (Sailor Mars)
• Gender: F
• Age: 19
• Birthday: September 29
• Race: Human
• Appearanceliterally just the most obvious faceclaim
• Weapons and Equipment: Is a maid. So, mops, brooms? Has a motorcycle she spent three paychecks on. No touch. Is a surprisingly good shot with guns. Hobbies include bike riding and trick shooting. *Semblance: Doesn't seem to have an awakened Aura. Again, is a maid.
• Personality: For the most part, Ana comes off as an aloof, cold and almost emotionless person. She obeys orders given by superiors without question, and never seems to complain. She's surprisingly sarcastic and speaks out blunt putdowns, lewd innuendoes and the most absurd non-sequiturs with a completely straight face. Also, she's a notorious miser, infamously cheap. To her friends, Ana can be counted to give calm, honest advice and be fiercely devoted, loyal and protective. Swears off romance and known to shudder in disgust when spiken to about it (not that it stops her from teasing her friends, naturally.)
• Bio: Analisa Silvari is Bianca Rosso's best female friend and loyal maid. Her single mother was employed by the Rosso's as a cook, and when she passed away, Angelique took in her daughters: Ana and Emma. Ana did not want to rely on the Rosso's kindness, though, and she requested to be employed as a maid to both earn her keep and provide for her younger sister's education. She has been serving Bianca ever since.
• Note: Dislikes Pius and calls him Literally Evil.

Alright, who here would be alright with me doing a timeskip soon?

I would. Not much else I can have Jeanne do in the current scene.

Go ahead. c:

Fine by me.

I'm fine with a Timeskip

Yeah, the scene's pretty much done.

Yeah, go for it.

Well, I RNG’d the pairings, as well as gave each pair a tentative strategy name. As promised, trading of partners is allowed until we start initiation, but if there are no trades the groups will be as follows:

• Pairing 1: Jack Cyclaman and Cinnabar Firebrick: Troubleshooter
• Pairing 2: Pius Ashen-Noble and Blaze Koller: Iron Warriors
• Pairing 3: Suzu Yukimura and Jayce Alban: Robo-buddies
• Pairing 4: Jeanne Aurion and Axel Gyllene: Cops and Robbers
• Pairing 5: Scarlett Bullfinch and Basil Hopper: Firebug
• Pairing 6: Velos Skotia and Bianca Rosso: Fox Moon

I will put the teams together during Initiation.

Eh, I'm personally thinking Jeanne and Velos might be a more fun pair. Grim, Each, and Aqua, do you mind a trade?

I frankly don't care either way, so it'll be up to Grim and Eachiunn if the trade goes through.

edited 17th Sep '17 5:16:53 PM by Aquatica1000

please do not use my real name off of skype. thank you

I will deny this trade.
