3) Characteristics:

Personality: Ranulf comes off as a cold, rather abrasive young man with intense, fiery, and piercing eyes, He has an intelligent, razor-sharp mind, that comes in handy with his quick-thinking prowess and incredible instincts. He seems to have a lot of street-smart and unorthodox methods of dealing with his problems, and due to his life, he has absolutely no problems with killing either Grimms or humans. One thing about him is his immense, comet-like intensity and determination. If something intrigues or interests him, he won't stop until he quenches his interest and intrigue. Once you manage to become close enough to him, most can often see that his personality hides a more...softer side of him, although he'd threaten you with bodily harm before admitting it. He has a short fuse, and will explode in anger whenever said fuse is lit on fire and sliced to it's limits.

For all intents and purposes, Ranulf is a rebellious delinquent, and absolutely ruthless in battle...almost demon-like. Due to this, some people find it impossible not to be intimidated by the young man. He will speak his mind if he feels the need to do so, and underneath all of his toughness, there's some inkling of kindness. He won't let bullies bully weaker people, although if it's someone being pushed around, and they're strong enough to do something, he won't help, figuring it will 'toughen them up'. However, if it's multiple people against one person, he'll instantly leap into the fight. That's another thing...he loves fighting. It's where he can let out all of the stress and anger of the day, and just stomp mudholes in asses. The adrenaline is also a fulfilling factor. This means that he enjoys other such adrenaline-high things, such as fast vehicles, and dangerous situations. To put it into key traits, for Ranulf, it would be;; Cold, abrasive, violent, rebellious, and battle-lusty. There's an inner kindness, that comes out as 'tough love'.

Background: To be revealed.

4) Combat info:

Position/Class: Close-Combat Warrior.
Landing strategy: To be revealed.

Weapon: Demon Magnolia, named rather ironically. It's a pair of gauntlets, harder than even steel, that amplifies Ranulf's natural strength to immense levels, while also being able to be used to block different attacks, due to the gauntlet's durability. There are small, thick steel barrels on the front of the gauntlets, which can blast out explosive rounds with only a punch. The recoil of these shots are immense, with Ranulf using the recoil to increase the force and speeds of his attacks and movements. Different types of rounds can be inserted and taken out through the bottom of the gauntlets, where an unnoticeable 'slot' is located. The 'dormant' form of Demon Magnolia are dark red rings, and they transform into Demon Magnolia by only slamming the rings together, or onto something solid. He can, of course, just click the rings as well, since they're pressurized...but where's the intensity in that?!

Semblance: The best term to use for Ranulf's semblance, is 'scary'. Basically, the more he fights and gets hit, the faster, stronger, and generally tougher he gets, and the higher his 'power-bar' builds. He can feel his 'power-bar' building whilst fighting, and at it's maximum, he can release and harness all of this pent-up power, usually evident by him slamming his fist into his palm. When this happens, his crimson, fiery aura blasts out around him like a bonfire of power, and his eyes becomes pure crimson, sclera included.

In this form, his strength, speed, and durability/agility is heavily increased, and he can use his aura in a tangible form, which comes out as a sort of Hell-Fire, which is hotter than the normal dust fire. He can cancel this state anytime he wants to by simply cutting off the flow of power, and people with Aura-Siphoning semblances can cancel it by siphoning all of his aura. It is called his 'Demon State'. The 'Demon State' can be passed if he gets angry enough while in it. It's called his 'Devil State', and it's the highest form he can currently reach. Not much is different, appearance-wise, other than the fact that his strength, speed, and ferocity increases even more.

Fighting style: Something you should take note about Ranulf, is that his strength, speed, and agility is high above average. Due to the close-combat style that he has heavily trained himself in, he needs to get close fast, and defeat enemies faster. Ranulf is incredibly strong and quick. This, combined with his specialized skill in hand-to-hand combat, and his crackshot, makes him an extremely dangerous opponent. His fighting style is something between Street-Style, brutal Boxing, combined with some freestyle Wrestling and Muay Thai thrown in, creating for a very unorthodox, unpredictable, and endlessly ruthless and destructive style.

5) Trivia:

Relationships: None he currently knows of. [Open]
Notes: None.

Name: Norsun "Nor" Draknell

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Color:Ice blue

Species: Faunus-Great White Shark



Height:5'11"

Weight:185 lbs without the use of his semblance.

Build:A lithe swimmers build

Weapon: Jet Stream- a large flail attached to a retractable chain, extending up to 25 ft on the head of the flail. At the opposite end of the 3 foot handle is a spiked hilt, the chain on it being able to be shoot out up to twice the distance of the flail, piercing most objects. Norsun often uses it to move quickly about the battlefield, or to pierce a target and close quickly in on them. The flail houses multiple chambers to hold various cartridges of dust, usually preferring ice elements, which can be set off through the spikes of the flail.



By retracting the head of the flail and locking it in place, he can place his hand on the head of the flail which then envelopes his arm, allowing him to quickly use up his dust reserves as explosive rounds out of the enlarged barrel of the handle , usually allowing for up to 12 shots.



Semblance: Ocean's Depths-Has the ability to increase and decrease his and those around himself masses at will . Uses this to wield a weapon much too large for most to handle by decreasing the weight of it, swinging it about in terrifyingly deft motions. By decreasing his own mass he can increase his mobility on the battlefield, leaping high and returning to mother earth with shattering results. Unfortunately, his body is much more vulnerable with decreased mass, hits feeling a lot harder than they would be, and increased mass tends to leave all maneuverability behind, leaving him open to more attacks, while he can take hits much easier, tend to add up quickly.

Personality:Norsun tends to be wary around most humans due to the secular nature of his clan. Most of his knowledge stems from stories told about the rebellions, with the few meetings due to business with the clan being either the terse payments from employers, or the frantic panicking of those found in sinking ships. those that can get him to open up will often find he is often full of curiosity, a interest in the world he has experienced little of, though he is well aware of his ignorance in many things and will often try to hide it behind a veneer of nonchalance.

Norsun used to work on the boats his family owned and built his own weapon, which has translated into a love of engineering, always curious of new machines and other students weapons.

Can tend to get a little excitable in battle and lose focus of others, focusing on a single target, leaving him open to multiple attackers.

History:: Norsun's clan lives on the fringes of the city, preferring to make their homes on the coast and docks close to the ocean, playing clean up for the city. Every so often, aquatic Grimm will attack incoming ships full of cargo and such. As a group specially capable of handling the rigors of underwater exploration, the Draklens have been offering there services to the good people of the city to salvage what they can from, with a ten percent pay of what's recovered, with a $2000 payment for each survivor found and brought back. Norsun was quickly put into the family business at 13 when his semblance came to fruition, his ability to affect the density of objects allowing them to speed up the retrieval. He spent his first few years as part of the retrival crew, every now and again taking "tips" from certain shipments, slowly getting the pieces he need for his weapon from a few of the more military minded shipments.

Recently, however, the Grimm have been gathering around the wreckage, forcing his clan to increase defensive measure and moving Ivan to the Watchers, as one of the few members having a semblance increasing his effectiveness. His acceptance into Beacon actually came as a surprise to Norsun as he hadn't even sent in an application, and planned on declining. He'd never been a fan of crowds, preferring the company of his family. That plan was nipped in the bud quickly as he learned that his father had sent one in without his knowledge. They had been getting injured in almost every run now, and the last few had seen at least one death every time. So he father figured it would benefit the whole clan if they had a full-fledged hunter, suspending operations further than the coast until he graduates.

We should probably put something on the CS to explain what their Faunus trait is if they have one

you guys can borrow my template if you like. it was designed for universal use with all RWBY characters.

It was actually designed as a collaborative effort by me and some friends on the RWBY wikia forum.

I only say my template since I was a primary contributor during the evelopment. another user did most of the formatting.

wow that looks great. i wouldn't mind making the edits to my own character @The Fox Without@Dirty Dan what do you think? would you mind editing to fit this?

The 'appearance' part, I'm just going to put all of that in 'Appearance:' anyways, so it would be a bit of a bother to code. Along with the whole 'scars' thing. I might implement the Combat Info part, however.

@Dirty Dan i suppose it doesnt matter, so long as its there right?

scars, tattoos, and so on og under misc traits. physial traits are things like albinism, gigantism, or dwarfism.

@Shadowcatcher

Like Velvet's bunny ears, or Sun's monkey tail, their animal aspect.

Also I don't mind the CS change since I already have Nor formatted to it from Phantom's game :P

I've got a template for weapons as well.

I've got a template for weapons as well.

hm, i dont think its necessairy. It might be cool to have more revealed of the characters unique weapons during the rp.

on another note. what goes in Position/Class under the Combat Info part?

things like warrior, mage, rogue, paladin. just a one word description of their primary combat role

If you'd prefer, Shadow, I can incorporate that CS. I prefer more simplicity, however. ^^ With that being said, my character should be finished tomorrow.
