Welcome to Beacon: Ultimate Server (Sign-up)

I know the co-gm are against but why can't there another team?

It's hard enough trying to gm the current amount of teams. I don't think we really want four more heads to keep track of and fill with something to do.

I'm not a GM of any variety, but I believe it's out of fear that things will end up getting a bit too crowded and clusterfucky. I think we've got something like two dozen players already (give or take a few), and adding more players to the mix could get a bit messy.

We've got 24 players yeah.

Ah, I didn't think there where that many players.

Well, there's 6 current player teams, each with 4 members. So, 24. That is definitely a lot of people for one person to GM over.

Alright, let's sum up what needs to go on the OP so that Grim can add it when he wakes up:

• The fact Semblances are not optional, as everyone should be capable with their Aura and have an understanding of it. This is because none of the characters are like Jaune, who forged his way into Beacon without knowing about Aura or his Semblance
• A note that the current roster is full, and that any accepted sheets will be placed on a reserve list just in any case any spots on a team are totally voided.

There, that about sums it up! Get back to work, everyone.

Gage is done. Have at him, tell me where I can improve and lemme know if I'm in.

I changed my mind 'cause Taco's still here. I think...

Since so many people have been posting up their character themes in the discussion thread, I thought I'd post up not one, not two, but three themes for my character. Mad Robots, LVBNR5 Schwarz, and Nocturnal Type.

You're not in the rp, come on now, hold your horses

Hey, I just thought I'd have themes ready if my character ends up getting a spot. I'm not posting it in the discussion thread right now, at least.

Yeah, don't do that

It's a bit of a dick move

Almost as bad as not reading the thread and assuming you got in, hm?

Hey guys. I was AFK until today on maneuvers and stuff so I totally missed the sign up (DESPAIR!). I'm fine with going back on The List. I had a lot of stuff to think about over the previous month and I decided to make changes to my character anyway.

• Name: Mint Mallory
• Gender: Female
• Age: 17
• Race: Human
• Appearance: Mint stands approximately 5'6" tall and walks with a stiff, upright posture that makes her seem constantly uncomfortable. She has straight, shoulder-length hair which, like her eyes, is mint green in color, and her skin is slightly tanned. For casual/combat wear, she wears an olive green suit-and-tie with a white shirt and black shoes, and black beret but only on formal occasions. Notably, her clothes are always clean and pressed regardless of what day of the week it is.
• Weapons and Equipment:
  • Ginger Snap, a pair of Short Range Disruptor Gauntlets. A weapon completely tailored to Mint's preferred fighting style, they cover her hands and forearms completely in gunmetal grey interlaced with yellow power coils (fully encased in the weapon, of course). Each punch triggers a burst of electricity from the integrated lightning dust crystals that shocks and disorients the target. While its raw damage output is demonstrably lower than other weapons of the gauntlet class, its armor penetration capabilities are second to none. Unusually for a Huntress' weapon, Ginger Snap has no ranged attack mode.
• Semblance: Refraction, a form of light manipulation that allows Mint to deceive enemies into thinking that she or another target is to the side of where they actually are.
• Personality: While outwardly outgoing and friendly, Mint's demeanor is a mask that conceals a lonely, insecure young woman who is deathly afraid of being by herself. As a result, she rarely spends time indoors unless there are other people and frequents places that tend to be lively and bustling, like libraries, cafes, and popular shops. Because of her upbringing and her time at Belltower, which runs more like a military academy, she has a very disciplined mindset when it comes to work and is a stickler for customs and courtesies despite the more relaxed and informal atmosphere of Beacon. Mint sympathizes with the downtrodden and oppressed, having been bullied herself as a child, but this does not extend to people who drag innocents into their battles.
  
  She likes boxing and considers it a more elegant and refined sport, as well as efficient in a world where fights are generally conducted with large weapons or against large monsters where getting inside their effective range is an advantage. However, she has also taken a practical approach and mixes her punches up with some ground fighting techniques.
• Bio: Mint is a military brat who was never particularly close to her father, a sergeant in the Vale Army. She lived with her mother and started her education at Belltower Academy, where training to be a Huntress gave her a connection to the normally absent man. Mint seemed to thrive in the austere, disciplined environment but caught hell from upperclassmen when she was labelled a "teacher's pet", especially after she became a successful member of the Girls' Boxing Team where she was known as Belltower's "Fist of the South Star". Abusing their privileges, a few of the older students hazed her mercilessly, making her memorize ridiculous drink orders at dinner time, clean large areas of the campus alone, or perform dangerous "corrective" physical training for imagined disciplinary infractions.
  
  Mint persevered through all of the misery and pain, and was offered a place at Beacon upon graduation but behind the scenes, it was a difficult sell. The admissions board agreed almost unanimously that she was a damaged girl and despite her exemplary scores, there was an almost-fatal black mark on her record resulting from several incidents. First, experimental riot suppression weapons went missing from a tester's lab. They were recovered soon after but the design of Ginger Snap was suspiciously similar to some of the research being done at the time. Second, Mint was detained by the Provost Marshal when she allegedly turned on one of her tormentors in a rooftop confrontation gone bad. She was released due to lack of evidence at the time (no eyewitnesses) and the official investigation concluded that the other girl fell off the roof in a tragic accident.
  
  Almost no one believes the official story, but no one has stepped forward to offer proof that Mint was even there at the time. Incidentally, nobody bothered her after that night.

Hello, hello, hello! Well, it appears that there is an opening in our little game. If anyone who posted an accepted bio is still interested, just post here again to let us know! And if you haven't posted an accepted bio but are still interested, go ahead and post your bio for our judgment! Be forewarned, right now the RP is moving a bit slow since our GM is having problems IRL. But, who knows? Maybe our lucky entrant will help put some pace back into the RP; there's a situation IC we might need them to jump into.

I'd at least wait for him to come back.

I am still up for playing if you all vote for me to take Zealous' place in the RP!

Point taken, amp. I'm just checking to see if anyone who posted before is still interested; I'm not about to let anyone play without Grim's say-so.

@Hail: Your interest has been noted. Actually, I'm surprised people who signed up over a month ago are still interested now. Have you been reading the IC?

edited 25th Nov '14 5:13:58 PM by Insano

Yep. I've been keeping tabs on the RP in hopes that a spot would open up for me to join. And looks like my wish is granted! Hopefully I can get in this time!

So you know what's going on IC?

Yep. They just killed Edgar IIRC.

And what's the other situatio—wait, am I really quizzing you on this?

Yes, you apparently are.

You think we're running a Beacon Quiz Show here Insano?

Uh, what was the timestamp of the first post in which Urujauni reappeared IC--in GMT?

Uh, I don't know specific details like that.
