Name: Nico Hung Age: 16 Race: Faunus (Lion) Appearance:  Personality: Nico is a lazy and unenthusiastic man who spends much of his time asleep, and no one appears to try and stop him from doing so. Despite being a skilled Huntsman, he is not eager to work, allowing others to do it for him when possible. He is not particularly interested in whatever is going on around him, though he is observant and capable analyst. Unlike other Hunters he is not inherently violent or overly arrogant. Despite all this, he has a strong, deep routed sense of duty. Weapon: Ragnorok  (It is a lot larger than what is portrayed in the picture) A large Bat'leth the has two barrels at the 2 far ends of the weapon. On the handle, there are 2 triggers, the one on the right side fires the bottom right gun, and vise versa. Semblance: Nico has the ability to manipulate Kentic energy of a moving object. On a small scale, Nico can simply slow an attack down or push it of mark by a little, but on large scale, he can force an objects Kentic energy into potential, and cause it to explode. Color: Grey Backstory: Nico was born, adopted and raised in the great lands of Mistral. Ever since Nico was a child, he always avoided a relationship with his parents, choosing to stay in his room that to talk with them due to the fact that he was bullied at school by humans, and his parents were humans. He assumed that all of them were the same. This way of thinking did not get him far in life, he was always picking fights with humans, and always losing, by the time the fight started, he was already uninterested in what was happening. By the time Nico was 13, his parents traveled to the ruins of the old city, and never came back. Apparently, the group was attacked by Ursa, and we're not able to hold them back. This triggered and other fire of hatred in his heart, the hatred for the Grimm. Although his relationship with his adoptive parents may have been nonexistent, they still choose to adopt him, and the Grimm took them away. By age 15 Nico was sent to Signal, and forged weapon Ragnorok there. As time went on, Nico gradually began to change his opinion about humans, and began to be friend them. After about 2 years, Nico applied for Beacon, and was chosen to enroll in the school.

Yes. I am interested. Will make a character up.

Sorry, I was busy for most of the weekend. Character looks good. I'll post a main thread sometime tomorrow and we can get characters moved over there.

Are you still accepting? I'm glad I returned in time to see this thread xD

I will still be accepting for a fair while, even after the RP starts, though students will no longer be accepted at that point. (I'll add other options for characters than just teachers and villains though.)

I have two character concepts incoming. I can't seem to make up my mind.

Hello. Gunna go ahead and post my CS here. Needless to say I'm interested. **Name**: Zedong "Zee" Swarna **Age**: 18 **Race**: Human **Appearance**: [Link](http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/167/2/d/2dcf682d53b623f79a1729300369082b-d53p31p.jpg) **Personality**: An open minded and outspoken individual, he tries to help in anyway he can. Whenever he runs into a situation that he can’t manage by himself, he conciders it a point of pride to get it done by himself, and as such he rarely asks for help, and never accepts it when it’s offered. He lives his life in waves, with varrying periods of long rests and intensive activities, so he is rather hard to predict. Of everything he does in life he conciders himself an exelent combatant, an amazing cook, and a great dancer, believeing these are the skills all men should master. **Weapon**: [Spear](http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/037/2/a/spear_by_servantofentropy-d4ovqpo.jpg) A ten foot long spear that can fold back and be used as a long bow. The long bow uses dust infused arrows that explode on contact. **Semblance**: Cognition *Passive*: When his semblance is first activated it starts to slowly drain aura, but drains more for each target he is analyzing. With this Zedong is compiling a large amount of data, from things as simple as mannerisms and attire, to as complicated as state of health and combat strategy. The longer he stays in this mode the more data he acquires. During this state his eyes are tinted violet. *Active*: Once he feels he has enough information to get the job done he can fully activates his semblance, which causes him to quickly loose aura. With this he can predict his targets movements accurately for as long as he keeps his eyes open. Due to how much aura this drains he can only keep his eyes open for a short amount of time, and as such using it against multiple targets is dangerous. While active his eyes shine a bright violet. **Backstory**: Not being born in a city, Zedong only knew the wild side of Vytal until a much later age. He never complained about living with a traveling band of nomads, always eager to help and even more eager to play he was popular among his fellow travelers. His father was a hunter, the kind that gathers food, and would take Zedong on trips to teach him all he needed to know about surviving outside the walls of civilization. To him this was a good life, honest and free, full of gain and loss, his life was what he believed to be truly living. During one night, when the guard was exchanging shifts, a herd of Grimm attacked. This was nothing new, since the wilds were full of them, and each time there were casualties, but none hit closer to home than this night. While he ran to the north of the camp to help fight them off. Some Grimm fought their way through the south of the camp, and when the dust settled and the day was won, his younger sister was nowhere to be seen. For five days he searched, but he had to come to terms that she was too young to survive on her own, and he grieved for five more days. It was not easy for him to forgive himself, and most would say he still has to do so. His life had changed, and he changed with it. He would become a Hunter and uphold the peace, for he now knew that with the ever growing presence of the Grimm, his people would never know true freedom. He left his home and his family, applied and was accepted into Beacon Academy.

Damn, my character used a spear-bow with dust-infused arrows. I guess I can change it around!

damnit... I had similar ideas.

Really? The bow thing I can understand but in my experience no one ever goes for spears. Oh well, sorry guys. I have a few other ideas, so if you really want to use the spear/bow just know I'm not too attached to it.

Lemme post what I have, real quick, so people can see what I am working on.

All the following characters and items and abilities are works in progress. ### Faunus Character **Name:** (in progress, still deciding) **Age:** 16 **Race:** Faunus **Appearance:** Single tail, not nine.  [Concept 2 - realistic/grown](http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/274/6/5/ahri_by_overweight_cat-d817lpc.jpg) **Personality:** **Weapon:** Spin Blade form, Bow (ranged, handles join in middle, string is energy, fires Dust based energy packets, regular or modified arrows), can be joined and thrown like a javelin, or short double-ended staff. [Blade Heads](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13399312/Stuffs/Blade_v1.JPG) [Spin Blade full](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13399312/Stuffs/Spin%20Blade.JPG) **Semblance:** Mirage Replay - This semblance creates illusion, of the user, or whatever the user touches. Can be used to leave behind an afterimage, or multiple images (such as Mirror Image spell), but can be used with a weapon to disguise which incoming attack is the real one, or can treat each illusion as 'real', but only the true weapon can kill. It allows rapid follow-up shots or strikes as the afterimage/mirage catches up and follows through. Very useful in confusing opponents, and providing a defensive and offensive edge. At high levels of use, aura can be manifested to be solid or semi-solid, but only for short periods. (more detail to follow) **Backstory:** None yet, most likely to have some entanglement with a certain terrorist group. ### Salvia ** Name:** Salvia Wiess (last name is not set. I am considering having this character being related to Zee, like a sister or something) ** Age:** 16 ** Race:** Human ** Appearance:**  **Personality:** ** Weapon:** Spear/Rifle combo (originally, may change) ** Semblance:** (You can go a bit OP with this if you want, but remember that the more powerful your semblance the faster it drains Aura, so a really powerful Semblance will leave you vulnerable to attack more quickly) **Color:** Sage ** Backstory:**

Anyway, so I was thinking about having Zee be related to Salvia, based on color, weapons, and the like. I am also shooting for making the Semblance have some interrelation to the character's nature or personality. I also included color references, or I will, for both characters, which is also another theme for RWBY.

Having just finished watching volume 1 and 2 of RWBY i find myself intrested, i shall began working upon a CS assuming you are still accepting

Still working on his back story, but just want to put my idea up. Name: Silus Kuroi Age: 18 Race: Reptilian Faunus Appearance: Silus is a tall and slight man, roughly 6'5 and weighing about 70 kg. He has long dark red hair, usually tied back in a low lying ponytail. His eyes are a blazing yellow colour with a black slit instead of pupils. His face is marked with slight bronze scales across his cheeks. Silus is built slight and compact, coiled muscles and a posture like he always is about to strike out. He generally wears scuffed up green jeans, a black leather jacket with no shirt underneath and a necklace with a snake's tooth upon it. Silus' Faunus features include a long reptilian tongue, scales adorning a few parts of his body and a scaled tail that requires him to cut a hole in his jeans. Personality: Silus is a unique case in terms of personality. He can vary from cold and silent to loving and happy. This all depends on whether or not he has spent some time in the sun. He adores laying in the sun and relaxing, warming up to anyone that talks to him in this state. As he cools down, his smile leaves and he becomes silent. Weapon: Dragons Rush is a set of two bracelets and two anklets. They are bronze in colour and look rather inconspicuous in their carry state. In battle state, they fold out becoming larger. The anklets fold out barrels pointing away backwards and the bracelets fold barrels out to reach his elbow. The end effect resembles metallic scales over his forearms and lower legs. Silus uses these barrels to fire out and using the momentum in his martial arts. His fighting style is very similar to Capoeira. Semblance: Dragon's Breath. A dangerous semblance that is usually formed in the Kuroi family. Silus has the ability to chew on Dust and breath out a violent storm of whatever type of Dust he has been chewing. This drains Silus incredibly and can be quite dangerous as many Kuroi have died due to Dust exploding in their mouth. Backstory: Silus was born to the Kuroi family, a long line reptile Faunus that generally were allied with Beacon in attempts to get Faunus accepted in normal society. Having the first born son, Silus become the first Reptilian Faunus to become a hunter is their greatest goal. Silus was groomed to be a perfect student, always attentive and always studying. This...failed. Silus is far from that and generally loves to work on instinct.

All of these look good, but gonna remind everyone that students start at Beacon at 17, so unless your backstory has a reason for it, they wouldn't be joining at 16/18. Also, main thread is up. http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75143/posts/ooc
