Okay, I have a question, in regards to characters older than age 17. Why can they not be older? It's an academy with combative entrance requirements. I can understand having an age limit on the low end, but unless they are old and a shut-in, I'm not seeing a reason to limit it past a certain point. Can you provide a solid, logic-based, reason for this?

Honestly, my reasoning is mostly along the lines that, excepting Ruby herself, all the first years we've seen in the show have been 17. I'm not really against first year students being 18, but it seems to me that based on what little we've seen of the school system most if not all first years are 17. If you really want to have a character be older, I don't think it's that hard to add a sentence explaining why they got into Beacon late.

Just checking to see if there was some greater, hidden reason. But I wasn't talking about just a year older, but like... someone in their twenties. Not saying I intend to do that, or want to do that, (I absolutely don't.) I can easily make either character 17 ish, so that's no big deal.

That's understandable, from what we've seen I don't think a character of 20 or older would be a first year student. I think Monty mentioned somewhere that 21 or so is around when most students would be graduating, so, yeah.

Can they be nearly 17?

They can be if their birthday is in just a couple months or w/e.

Name - Nahbi Cho Age - 17 Race - Human Appearance - [link](http://dreamself.me/full.php?action=change&fg=0&ffg=0&bg=0&back=0&hat=10354792&accen=0&face=10639673&hair=10454881&accef=0&pose=0&top=10440842&coat=0&acceh=0&bottom=0&shoe=10421922&bodycolor=17000192&) Personality - Nahbi can almost always be seen sporting a wicked grin, and is very easily entertained. She's not always the easiest to get along with, what with snide remarks and sarcastic personality, but if she decides she likes you enough, you can be sure she'll stick with you through thick and thin – not that others often decide they like HER. She enjoys messing with people, and is often too obtuse enough to read the situation and know when enough is enough. Nahbi's juvenile, falling easily into pettiness, but this also contributes to her child-like nature. She's a bit too naive for a world overrun by Grimm, and doesn't always seem to understand consequences or risks. Despite coming across as combative and snarky, she's actually very trusting. Weapon - Scatter and Flare  Nahbi uses dual blades combined with her aura, which are incapable of changing form. For melee battles, Nahbi wields them in tandem, using fast, spinning movements. She uses them as conductors for her aura for ranged attacks: when slashed, Scatter shoots out razor sharp arcs of aura, to either cut or blow enemies away, and Flare creates a line of spikes made from her aura when stabbed into the ground. Overall, her fighting style is hit first, hit hard, and do it with style. Semblance - Vertical Teleportation Nahbi can teleport either straight up or straight down. She typically uses this for evasion, getting some altitude on an attack, or dropping down heights that would be too dangerous to fall. History - Nahbi chose to become a huntress because it sounds badass, plain and simple. Nahbi grew up watching the heroic deeds of hunters and huntresses on the news, and even took to playing "hunters and Grimm" with her two older brothers – though of course, the news reporters never covered the gruesome aftermath of battles they showed, or what happened when a huntress wasn't quite fast or strong enough to defeat her opponent. When Nahbi decided she wanted to be a huntress, her parents understandably shot the idea down. Her mom and dad were both very loving, if overprotective, and refused to even entertain the thought of their little girl fighting the monsters that haunted their dreams. Pouting and frustrated, Nahbi refused to let the issue drop, constantly bringing it up and even talking to her brothers about what sort of huntress she would be. When her parents discovered dual blades hidden under her bed, along with books explaining how to utilize aura, it was the last straw. The fight was grand and gruesome enough to rival those that Nahbi always saw on the news, and when it ended with her parents confiscating her swords, Nahbi knew what she would do. That night she packed her things, stole back her swords, and ran away to Beacon, to officially start her training as a huntress and achieve her dream. She still writes to her family, though they're less than pleased with her. Surprisingly, they've yet to show up on Beacon's doorstep, demanding their little girl back. Other - Nahbi likes butterflies. That's her thing. The windowsill in her room is lined with various butterfly figurines she's collected over the years, made of glass, metal, gemstones, wood, tissue paper… whatever she's managed to find, really. She likes figuring out new ways to fold paper into butterfly shapes when she's bored, and the meticulous nature in which she does so would surprise those who know her.

Looks good. Go ahead and put it in the main thread.

Alright my character is finished.

Awesome! Go ahead and put them in the characters tab on the main thread.
