Didn't even realize the reference until you pointed it out.

Disappointing.

The whole backstory is a bit of a play on the biblical tale. The two brothers, alone on the edge of civilization, are cautioned to stay away from the Grimm (temptation or something similar). Cain, however, is jealous of the other guardians; he wants to be strong like them, to be admired and to be a hero. His jealousy drives him to try to join the fight, but it kills him (consumes him). In the old story, this act of jealousy is the end of Cain's goodness, but here it is the end of his life. Because of his brother's jealousy, Abel seems poised to bite the dust as well, but lo and behold his semblance activates (divine intervention?) and he wields the power of the storm that terrified him to strike down the Grimm that killed his brother.

I think I have it all in the 'other' section of my character sheet. It somewhat peeved me that our sheets didn't include personality and backstroy, since they're quintessential to a character, but that's the way it is I suppose.

Since we're on the subject of what biblical, mythological, literary, etc. people our characters are based on, anybody want to take a guess at what literary hero I based Robert off of?

I would have said Ezio or Altair from Assassin's Creed but that's just modern fiction. As for what literary hero...is it Apollo? Perhaps the Pied Piper? I really have no clue.

It might be easier when he reveals his backstory, so I'm not going to reveal any hints yet.

Tree dude is awake. And not all that happy.

Is Gren in a safe position as the world around them crumbles? If not, I may make a quick and short post.

Honestly dude, I don't think so. His Friction Semblance doesn't have that great of range. While he's not close enough to smack the mech with The God Eater, I suspect that he's going to catch some of the falling debris one way or another. I'm sure he'll be okay, but if you want to help him, I won't mind. Unless Galgarion would like to use this chance to save Gren? Though I will tell you, dudes heavy, like three hundred pounds. Out of armor.

Seems everyone has a tragic past. Does anybody's character still have living parents? Feels like I'm reading Batman's origin story.

Gren's parents are alive. Nice folks, his dad is a model Orcish Hunter while his mother takes care of the house and children. That being said, Gren's got a lot of dead brothers and sisters since he was born in a litter of ten. There is only three now, him and two baby siblings. Now that might be a tragic backstory, more or less, once if you figure out why his siblings are dead.

Neat.

Any new requests for symbols or models?

I'M NOT MAD! I'M ELATED!

How could she be so cruel as to crush that teddy bear.

Kuhaku has no idea whether his parents are living or dead. Only child. Not a 'tragic back-story', per se. Just not the best childhood/upbringing. He obviously doesn't let it get him down though.

Pfft. Tragic backstory? Pheona has everything going for her.

Except for likability. xD

I dunno, Pheona hasn't done anything yet to show that she's unlikeable. Possibility manipulative and haughty, but not everyone bats a hundred.

Laura finds her unlikeable.

She finds everyone unlikeable though, so that's a thing.

Laura and Pheona immediately come off as that 'holier-than-thou' stuck-up, snooty, superior types. Which, I'm sure they could care less about how other people perceive them and even less if they like them or not. The 'I only care about results' type? Yeah.

I can see a few arguments and conflicts arising from Kuhaku potentially interacting with them. He'll only get along with Laura better for one specific reason and possibly like her a little better as a result. But again, I'm sure Laura wouldn't care about a lowly Tiger Faunus' opinions of her. xD

Currently a lot better than Laura.

You're just saying that out of spite because Laura wasn't nice to Trico. -Pats- It's okay. If it makes you feel any better, Kuhaku tries to befriend and like everyone.

There was a shout out?

Also, it seems like there's a lot of Jaune hate going on with his whole Weiss crush. Anybody got an opinion on that? I personally liked this little development arc.

I've been unable to watch any of the three new episodes (*Last one I saw was the Dust info vid) due to...reasons. So I have no idea what y'all are talking about and would appreciate them not being spoiled o3o;

Jaune can crush on whoever he wants, I think. It's sad that Pyrhha seems to like him only for him not to notice or feel the same way. This is going off of what I currently remember of the series.

The only reason she hasn't bee Satan to anyone else is because, she hasn't met anyone else yet.
