Welcome to Beacon! (RWBY-verse RP)

Why do you feel like you need gravity? I gave Lumen gravity because I used the moon as an inspiration.

Hmmm...

Well, my first thought was some kind of predatory Super Mode, but Ieria got there first... Unless there was some other way to execute it? Like with different specifics?

Spin.

Aura imparts rotational momentum onto an object. Boost your weapons' inherent spinning capacity, and throw around tons of weird utility-based attacks with the insanity of spinning.

To go with a common desert theme that most scorpions fit into in people's heads how about draining moisture?

@Taco So for starters, that would basically mean gun-Rancor Of Set would fire so fast it would be a laser of Dust, and chainsword-Rancor Of Set would be able to saw through entire buildings with ease...

I like it!

Maaaaaybe not that bad, but yeah, Semblance to power up weapons at the cost of tiring yourself out. Also, you know, all the other things you can do by making things spin by touching them. Improvised saws, unstable ground, tiny tornadoes, figure it out!

Yeah. Some of the best abilities are the ones that are simple, yet are the kind that allow for one to use it in creative ways.

Like Remus's semblance.

Great idea! I'm gonna change it on the sheet.

History, Dreig.

His parents were adventurers, but one day they didn't come back... He had looked up to them as heroes, so he wants to continue in their footsteps and become a Hunter, so he went to Signal... That's my general idea.

Put his history in the sheet and you're good.

Done!

Okay then. Welcome to Beacon!

So should I just jump in now?

Sure, why not?

Important announcement: Due to the influx of interest, I have decided to create a second RP thread. This thread, "Beacon-2" will act as something akin to a secoond server in an MMO. It will follow the basic premise of the first threadbut will be a separate universe from it.

Without further ado, the signups for Beacon-2 is now open!

still stand as questions

Sorry.

Go to the new thread please. And no PC robot girls.

•Name: Grey D. Knight

•Gender: male

•Age: 17

•Race: Faunus

•Appearance: lean, dirty blonde hair, wolf ears that match his hair color, blue eyes, scar on left eye from a grim attack, 6' 2", broad shoulders, tends to wear a black trench coat that has a hood, combat boots, long black pants that give freedom for flexibility, a black shirt, black spiked metal gauntlets

•Weapons and Equipment: spiked gauntlets that have hidden wrist blades and a flame thrower in each of them and the hidden wrist blades can be launched out connected to the gauntlets by chains or become dagger.

•Semblance: invisibility- He can turn it on and off at will. It will slowly drain his aura and it drains faster in combat

•Personality: Calm, calculating, prefers solitude over comrades, lives by a code. He has a soft spot for children and does not believe in fighting a pointless battle; he will jump into a fight to protect some one, likes spicy food, and loves to play the violin. He sees everyone as his equals until he fights them. He believes it's more important to have the will to never quit than to have the skill to back it up and has trouble placing value on lives of others

•Bio: Like many other Faunus, Grey was picked on a lot as a child. For him it was even worse and he didn't even know why. His father, the great fighter he was, trained Grey in a fighting style that has been passed down generation to generation. Since he always had trouble with others he had often gotten into fights and won most of them, but was always scolded by his mother. His mother was an innocent soul who taught Grey about philosophy and how to play the violin. Then one day when he was seven years old his mother grew ill and died soon after. After that he continued to practice the violin in honor of her. At ten years old he finally discovered why even other Faunus children avoided him. He had walked in on his father talking on the phone packing White Fang armor in a bag. He ran off with his father not knowing. When he got back he waited to confront his father when he returned at the house. He waited for his return but instead it was a friend of his father saying his father was killed by some Schnee guard bots. He had sacrificed himself so others could escape an ambush. After hearing the man talk so highly of his father all of the hatred for his father turned into guilt. With no living relatives the man also said he had promised Greys father to finish raising him. So the man quit the White Fang to do exactly that and helped teach Grey to master his Semblance. With his fathers friend raising him they lived practically broke with the man having trouble keeping a job, so Grey had to work hard to keep getting scholarships to stay in school. The only item he kept as a reminder of his parents was a violin his mother gave him. To this day he has vowed to accomplish what his dad had fought to achieve, but since Grey doesn't agree completely with the White Fang he plans on doing it his way. For this he will take down the White Fang or even bring ruins to an entire country if it he believes to help.

Fine, but lacking details. Personality, especially.

...Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. It just feels so...lacking. People/Faunus aren't generic, blank slates, and this bio just more-or-less stinks of it

It could be a lot worse. Trust me.

There was an entire year where every rp he had amnesia.

Not an excuse, though. Work on the personality.

recently I've had to dull it down cause I've been rping with rookies so it became a habit. his original bio was a bit darker and his father was actually a member of the white fang

Just because it could be worse does not make this bio acceptable, not to me.
