Welcome to Beacon! (RWBY-verse RP)

Very well then, Solus. Grim, how does Shadow Walker's sheet look to you so far?

Him and Callie will get along just fine. Looks like a generic edgy anti-hero to me, but he could work...as long as you RO him well, then okay.

Nothing is what it seems. Master of Shipping and Sadism.

• Name: February Tallspine

• Gender: Female

• Age: 19

• Race: Faunus (Great White Shark)

• Appearance:

February is short with a sleek build, though she is visibly toned. Her skin is eerily pale, with light grey scales running across her back up to her neck. Her back is straight unlike that of her parents, but her face is also more animal like at the same time. Her thin lips do not cover her shark teeth, leaving her perpetually grinning and incapable of much facial expression. Indeed, her open mouth means she cannot pronounce some sounds properly. She has amber eyes and shoulder length ash-grey hair, which is always messy even when she tries to comb it out.

February tends to dress in formal male wear. Her usual attire consists of charcoal grey dress pants and a similarly coloured waistcoat, matched with black suspenders and dress shoes. To complete her look, she wears a pressed white dress shirt and a well-starched cravat. They cover some tattoos she'd rather keep hidden from others.

• Weapons and Equipment:
  • Blood Frenzy: A modified bear trap used as a hand weapon. By punching the target with the pressure plate, the jaws of the bear trap slam shut and continue trying to close until pressure is taken off of the plate.
  • Figaro: A pearl handled straight razor, keenly honed on the bones of unfortunate Grimm. This razor is a heirloom from her teacher's family.
  • Hi-Stakes: Essentially, these are sharpened Dust grenades with 3-second timers. She usually carries three of them, but can build more given the proper materials.

• Semblance: Watchmaker - When using her Semblance, February enhances her perception speed, senses, and precision. While in that state, the accuracy of her movements, senses, and thoughts are increased to the point where she can do things like casually snatch flies out of the air or safely handle volatile explosives even when moving at full speed. At most, Watchmaker can only be active for 2 minutes at a time.

• Personality: February is a very quiet person. When she speaks, her sentences are hard to hear and brief. She can't be considered stoic, though. She just feels that she doesn't have much to say, given her ignorance of most things in life. February is a highly emotional person who prefers not to deal with people that she is uncomfortable around, which includes most humans. Conversely, she gets easily attached to people she does like. Despite that, she wishes for all people to get along, almost to an obsessive degree. She is a gambler at heart, although she is an extremely dirty player who tries to cheat in every way she can. And fighting, to her, is the most dangerous gamble of all.

• Bio: February can barely remember her parents. Back before she reached her teenage years, her family had been killed by humans. Left without anybody or anything to care about, she was taken in by a particular woman who greatly disliked humans as well. What happened in the intervening years is something February does not wish to recount, but the end result was that she had been painfully made aware of her foolishness. Leaving her old life behind, she took whatever she could and fled the teacher who had turned her into a tool. The Grimm were her enemy now, not Humanity. At least, that was what she told herself....

....That Semblance, though. That might be a wee bit broken. Add either a time limit or a bigger than average Aura cost.

• Name: Sophie Fei Ming
• Gender: Female
• Age: 19
• Race: Human
• Appearance: Much like this, but not so chibi of course. A bit more realistic pic
• Weapons and Equipment: Her Hair. Sophie's long, messy hair is actually an advanced weapon that was surgically bonded to her scalp, and is controlled by her brain. Her hair is prehensile and can seperate into tendrils, or puff out into a ball of spikes. She can solidify her hair to make shapes like large fists. Her hair can grow to up to ten feet long, and if any of it is cut, it can grow back. It's impervious to fire, but quite weak to water. If her hair becomes sufficiently wet, it becomes almost impossible to move and mold into different shapes, but can still be used for easy straight things like needles and whips.
• Semblance: Creativity: Sophie has uncanny drawing ability. She can draw perfect pictures of anything, even things she shouldn't be able to, like diagrams of buildings and maps. She doesn't have a photographic memory. Her mind just triggers a muscle memory when she wants to draw something and she just does it. Her draws can look very close to actual photographs, so they usually become pretty popular.
• Personality: Sophie isn't good with people. Not to say she is anti-social or anything. Far from it. She is just hopelessly awkward, and prefers fictional characters and diving into her own imagination that trying to understand other real human beings. She doesn't really have anything in her brain that controls things like social acceptance or public decency. She is a nerd to the fullest extent of the word. She likes to spend her time playing video games, reading comic books and just lazing around. She usually compares the people she talks to to fictional characters, simplifying their problems into cliches and archetypes. She is super geeky and does things like call out her attacks, and pretend she is in a video game, or a superhero. She also very self-concious about her personal appearance and her weight, and is constantly feeling envious of other prettier and skinnier girls. At the same time, she is also sadistic and vengeful to her enemies, and enjoys coming up with cruel ways to punish those she feel have greatly wronged her. She doesn't put up with whiners, assholes, jerks, people who are super mean for no reason, etc. Normally, she is bubbly and vibrant, but her demeanor completely changes when she is touched, and she becomes a cute, extremely shy, mousy girl. She has a lot of personal secrets that she wants to stay secrets. She has big problems with pools, beaches, hotsprings, and other places where she would have to show her body. She has some insecurities showing her feminine side and doesn't consider herself to be very attractibe, and masks those feelings by being blunt and comical with other people, particularly boys.
• Bio: Sophie's parents died when she was still very young, and was raised by her older sister. At a young age, Sophie fell in with the wrong crowd, and eventually became involved with Xiong's gang. While Sophie does desire to eventually become a Hunter, she is actually undercover at the school on the behalf of Xiong and his gang, using her enrollment in the school to relay information about the school and, more importantly the other students, to the criminal organization. But she is looking for a way out, and doesn't want to be a criminal anymore. She has a lot of secrets about herself, but she still tries to make friends, despite her place in life.

• Name: Johnny Bowker
• Gender: Male
• Age: 19
• Birthdate: Crystallum 18th
• Race: Human
• Appearance: Do what you want 'cos a Pirate is free...◊
• Weapons and Equipment: Johnny never really named his individual weapons, but he refers to them as his "Motley Crew"
  • Pistol Sword◊
  • Axe Pistol◊
  • Blunderbuss◊
  • Grenades◊
• Semblance: Broadside: Johnny's Semblance causes every shot fired by his guns to explode in a small radius upon impact as well as doubling the explosion radius of Johnny's grenades. This effect is optionally transferable to one Ally of Johnny's choosing.
• Personality: Travelling from port to port for 19 years straight has gotten Johnny interested in meeting new people whenever he can and growing up with an incredibly diverse crew has taught Johnny to see everyone as his equal, even the rich and famous. Despite his friendly and outgoing personality, Johnny will never turn down an oppurtunity to make money or a chance to get into a fight.
• Bio: Born to the captain and first mate of a ship in a large fleet of seafaring nomads, Johnny quickly learned how to be an efficent sailor and more than capable fighter. Now, the interesting thing about Johnny's fleet is that they don't believe in buying things, they've made their way in life by boarding ships and taking what provisions they need from those who can afford to be without them. After a few years of following in his mother and father's footsteps Johnny eventually managed to become captain of his own ship at the young age of 19. This was also the year where he faced down his greatest foe and earned his place in Beacon. After sailing far to the north for several weeks, Johnny's crew eventually came across a massive Squid-like Grimm they dubbed Ishmael. Ishmael proved to be a worthy foe for the pirate crew and managed to take down half a dozen of some of Johnny's closest friends. Not willing to let the Terrorsquid live, Johnny waited for it to surface again before jumping into the waves to face the beast in one on one combat. After what felt like an hour of non-stop fighting, Johnny Bowker arose victorious! This caught the attention of a hunter scouting for Beacon recruits who went by the name of Sparrow. The next thing Johnny knew, he was being shipped off to Beacon to learn how to battle more powerful Grimm more efficiently.

• Name: Imuka Yukimarimo
• Gender: Female
• Age: 17
• Born: Cor 8th
• Race: Faunus
• Appearance: A fox faunus with a small light build, and light blue hair that extends below her shoulders.◊

Weapons and Equipment:

• Creation's Gift: A collapsible naginata, that transforms into a longbow. In naginata form it appears as a relatively normal if ornate naginata well suited to her defensive fighting style, until a button is hit on the hilt causing the blade to split apart and reveal a blow torch, good for field repairs, or catching some one off guard. Its bow form is just a relatively normal bow, with the unique aspect coming from the arrows themselves, who's heads look nothing like any thing an archer would be used too rather there designed to break upon impact releasing a cloud of healing dust, it is not an offensive weapon in the slightest rather a potent tool for a combat medic.
• A pair of micro drone hosts : Each one has a couple small drones that help her in her tasks of fixing machines or people.

• Semblance: Mechanic, the ability to meld her her body with a machine letting her treat it as part of herself, and using its capabilities as if they were her own. This works best with smaller objects, a small computer for instance would let her use the programs on it, but something like a car is out of the picture. Most commonly used on her drone hosts, to tap into there networks.
• Personality: With a love of creation that manifests as an aptitude twords mechanics, and disdain for destruction it is often easy to wonder just why she would choose to become a huntress until one remembers the duty of a huntress is to "Uphold Peace" and that the Grimm are often seen as elements of destruction, it then becomes very clear why such a person would want to become a huntress, however even then Imuka finds it very hard to land a blow and would rather assist others twords there goal. Outside of this Imuka is friendly and un-confrontational preferring to solve issues with words rather then fighting.
• Bio: Born into a relatively poor family in a large city, Imuka never really had what can be described as a good childhood, or even really one at all, abducted at a young age. After all, who would miss a small Faunus girl? She was subject to experimentation, her semblance making her the perfect subject for "practice" with cybernetics. While no where near the extent some have been subjected to, hers are potent in relation to her semblance, a mind/machine interface. Without them her connection to a device would be purely physical, not the mental connection she now employs. After a fair amount of experimentation she managed to escape. Using a mixture of lies and tricks, she managed to get access to the facilities reactor, under the pretense of knowing how to improve it she rewire it in a way that would cause a fire so that it would initiate an emergency shutdown and she could escape in the ensuing blackout, she did not however account for the fact that fire suppression also worked off the reactor, not long after escaping the fire had managed to spread to the armory and the predictable results ensued. It was perhaps in no small part from this experience, the accidental killing of her captors, and any other captives they may have had that she in no way wishes to harm others, to not be like the people who harmed her, which she feels she is, but rather to help others to do good in the world. It was this drive that led her to become a huntress. After all what better way to do good than to fight the elements of destruction, the Grimm?

They can't for the life of them understand why nobody liked being ruled by a group of manic depressive demigods - 4chan

Okay, my opinions:

1. Not sure how the double-agent thing will fly with Grim.
2. Cool, a naval hunter! Like to see more of that...
3. Imca, you made a RWBY-verse you. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
4. Uh, Stone, someone else has weapons called that. Namely, Hiram Krigsvart.

um? im confused cause that doesn't seem like a problem..

I'm not sure how Grim would react to two different weapons with the same name. The weapons themselves are pretty cool, but...

Meh. I'm not the GM, I should leave it to his judgment. I was just voicing my opinions...

What you know that the name of Odin's Ravens right?

I think we'd all like to avoid having any duplicate names.

I've got to agree, it could lead to all sorts of confusion.

Never mind I think i will switch there name to the name of loki two sons.

I actualy hate medicine IRL, no I more re-did one of my favriote charecters to play.

Also I kinda thought a medic might be unique since every one else went full on fighter.

D'aww, I thought I would have someone to relate to, seeing as I'm working on being a Med Student. :)

I tried a semester of med, but being hemophobic I was not able to complete it and transfered to comp-sci.

>.<

@Saturn: Since you're signing up for Beacon-1, are you sure you don't want to stay in Beacon-2 as well? I just think it's a waste if Chloe just left after Initiation/got eaten. And besides, nman and amporiusrex can keep up the pace better than I could and they're already working to finish up Initiation-2.

I guess I can try, as long as the pace is hopefully keeping up and people aren't leaving.

Cool. Let them know over there. Also, you might have missed some boss fight moments and may need to account for that the next time you post as Chloe.

Heh, Sophie immediately makes me think of Filia. Actually, kinda wanna go play some Skullgirls now.
