Like I said, I'll be choosing the people selectively. So the amount of interest on the thread does not correlate with free spaces. I'm currently out but when I get home I'll start looking at the CS's that have been posted so far.

Name: Sayuri Takashi
Species: Human
Sex: Female
Misc traits:
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 145 lbs
Eyes: Red
Hair: She has blood red waist-length hair that is usually kept in a low long thin ponytail.
Face: Looks decently androgynous.
Physique: Lithe
Outfit: She wears black boots, black pants with a dark red flame design below the knee, a blood red sash-like belt, a white sleeveless shirt, and white cloth bandages around her hands and lower arm leaving her fingers exposed. She also wears a necklace with a dark red dragon head charm.
Theme Color: Dark Red
Symbol: A Dragon head from above.
Personality: She is laid back and carefree. She rarely gets sad or angry. Though once she is angry it is extremely difficult to calm her down. She prefers to hang by herself but isn't afraid to spend time with others. Though she tends to keep everyone at arms-length.
Background: She was born as the eldest daughter of the head of the extremely wealthy Takashi family. A company that is reguarded as the best and largest weapons and weapon parts distributer in remnant. She was given basically everything she wanted growing up. Her father mostly ignored all his children while her mother cared deeply and speant as much of her free time as possible with them. Despite her life being nearly perfect she still felt like something was missing. She realized what it was on her 8th birthday. Her mother had taken her and her sisters out for a picnic at a local park when a group of criminals released several grim into the area. She was nearly killed by a Beowolf but was saved at the last second by a traveling huntress wielding a pair of dagger pistols. Watching the hutress fight is when she realized what was missing: a purpose. That's when she decided to become a huntress. Afterwards her mother hired the huntress to teach her. She learned quickly that it was hard work but she never gave up. She had an immense natural talent for casting so she decided to focus her learning to become a battle caster. She learned swordsmanship from her mother, hand-to-hand combat and basic casting from the huntress, and more advanced casting from one of her bodyguards. Around when she turned 13 her father started taking notice and demanded she quit training and that she was going to be married off. She refused and as a result he did many things to make it difficult for her to continue. She continued to trian until the day she applied to Beacon. Despite having no former schooling she was still accepted and ran off to attend.
Weapon: Kageryu - A single bladed curved sword based on one passed down through her family. It is modified to use dust cartridges and can hold a decent amount of all four types and can mix them. It has no transformations but is nearly impossible to break. Blade colors are reversed.
Semblance: Dragon's Aura - The ability to increase speed, strength, reactions, sight, and hearing. The more she increases these the more Aura she uses. She can pick to increase one of them at a time for an increased effect. It also allows her to create platforms to stand on in midair under only her feet.
Extra: She has several scars from her childhood and the attack from the grimm. The most promenent being on her back being two big gashes one from each shoulder to the opposite hip. She also has numerous on the back of her hands and lower arm. She is completely ambidextrous

Semblance I'm unsure on and can move the scars from extra if you need me to.

Okay! Character thing. I’m specifically looking at characters I have some issue with, so if you don’t see your name on here you don’t really need to change anything. I will still be giving a little time for people to change characters a bit or new character sheets to be posted, but I’ll probably decide who’s accepted tomorrow evening so we don’t spend too much time stuck on character selection.

@Scarifar: I like the character for the most part, but the weapons seem a little bit excessive. I don’t know how willing you are to modify the character, but a few things I’ll point out: Weapons in RWBY seem to be aura-powered, so there’s no real ammo limit except the users own aura, and the drain seems to be insignificant. ‘Ammunition’ is really in the form of dust used to modify your shots with elemental stuff. A sort of revolver shaped weapon containing dust cartridges might fit the sort of steampunk feel of the character, as well. As far as the other weapons, Mr. Invincible just seems like a little bit too much extra and unnecessary. Bloodseeker also seems fairly unnecessary as the same function could be achieved using his arm. (I also think extra arm transformation things would be neat, but that’s purely my opinion.)

@Mr_Pink: Character looks fine but how exactly does the semblance work? Is there a limited range or could he designate something as a bomb and then detonate it from the other side of the world? Do larger objects drain more aura? Is there an ongoing aura drain while an object is designated but un-detonated? It has the potential to be very very powerful so I’d need a little more refining on how it works before I was comfortable accepting him.

@Lazo: Your character is one of my favorites so far, and is pretty close to a shoe-in for a spot except you said you weren’t sure you’d be able to post regularly. If nothing else, I’d like some confirmation that you could post regularly during the early game, because that’s when it runs out of steam the fastest if someone has to leave.

@Little Mx Inferno I added a couple details to the semblance. If you need an example I can provide one.

Weapons are definitely not aura-powered. Ruby is seen multiple times to load clips into Cresent Rose, and Yang loads ammo into Ember Cecila during the Yellow Trailer. Weiss' Myrtenaster is clearly shown to use a revolving chamber filled with various forms of dust. But enough about that.

Your understanding of dust ammunition, if I am reading this correctly, involves dust being filled into cartridges, like how our bullets are filled with powder, which is how I expect it to work as well.

Moving on to my weapons. Mr. Invincible too much? Try telling that to Nora's Magnhild, a giant warhammer / grenade launcher. Mr. Invincible simply has a pure defense / pure offense build, unlike Magnhild, both forms of deadly, deadly destruction. There's also, of course, Cresent Rose, a giant scythe / sniper rifle. Very deadly, especially in the hands of a skilled user, which Ruby is, of course.

Bloodseeker I don't see how it's unnecessary. It's a good weapons to use when you don't want to be lugging around a rocket launcher, plus there are only so many things you can do with a robotic arm, even in the Rwby universe, and I've already got enough functions in there as I possibly could, imo.

@Little Mx Inferno I wish I could promise a daily post, but if I did, it would probably either eat into my work time or result in short, lousy posts. I can promise commitment, but not posts as frequent as you'd probably like. It's fine if you'd rather not deal with that, though. It's always rather annoying when the whole RP has to slow down to accommodate for one person, and I at least got to make time to write down the character.

@Scarifar I have a feeling the issue is not so much with the weapons themselves, but with the number of weapons your character is carrying. Most characters in RWBY have a single weapon that transforms, or a single weapon that splits into two, or two that combine into one, and maybe a shield if they're feeling greedy. If we count everything you listed in your character's weapon section, he has four separate weapons. Three if we consider Bloodseeker and Hospitality to be part of the same set.

Yeah, you're absolutely right on the aura weapon thing, I was misremembering what Pyrrha said. Lazo hit the nail on the head though, you just have two many separate weapons.

I make up for that by having a non-combat semblance, simply using it to store said extra weapon.

Even taking into account the extra weapon, Bloodseeker is not much more than a pointy metal stick, and Hospitality isn't powerful enough to do any significant damage to someone, especially with aura protection.

I'd say it deactivates if he gets further than a little over half of a football(soccer) fields distance from the bomb. And yes, larger objects do drain more aura but I doubt I'll ever have him make anything other than small things like pennies and whatnot bombs anyway.

Okay, sweet. Glad to see that my character was A-okay from the start. I was fully expecting to have to make some sort of modification, but I'm very content with this.

Well if spots are indeed open, here's a cs. If not then I guess I can take it elsewhere~.

Name: Shade Dennin (Name can be changed to fit teams)
Species: Human
Sex: Male

Symbol: This
Personality: Shade is very quiet and reserved, choosing to not interact with people through speech much. Though Shade comes off as shy and skittish, he does follow orders exceptionally well, no matter who issues them, as long as the request is reasonable and does not conflict with any rules he has to abide. He has a very strong interest in machines and Dust, usually the only two things he will ever willingly discuss with anyone.

History: Shade comes from a small family of three: His mother, father, and him. Shade had always been quiet and polite from the first moments of his life, rarely causing trouble and never speaking out of turn. His father, a member of the Atlesian Military, helped to shape Shade's quiet and obedient attitude through his involvement in the military, acting hard on his son to make sure he developed in to a respectful and disciplined young man. In contrast, Shade's mother was very easy on his son, schooling him herself. She was very patient when it came to school work, never needing to ever push Shade, as he learned quickly and took a special interest in learning the mechanics of robots in every day life as well as the military, as well as the history of Dust and it's many uses.

At around age ten he was able to successfully combine Dust and fabric, a favorite pair of leather gloves that he usually wore around, imbuing them with the properties of Fire. He soon learned he had a knack for fighting, his father deciding that the gloves his son had made would prove to be an interesting weapon in combat. Through his experience in the military, Shade's father was able to teach his son some basics of combat. As Shade was able to learn so quickly, his parents decided that he would make a talented Hunter. With Shade's approval, his parents enrolled him in Signal Academy.

While at Signal, he began to build his own machines, letting his interest in robotics shape for himself. He was able to easily craft machines out of crude materials that he would find around campus. Soon he decided that using these in combat would provide a distinct advantage for him as he squared off against larger opponents who would no doubt overpower him. Soon his passion for machines had spread throughout the school, gaining him unwanted popularity as he graduated from Signal to Beacon, bringing all of his fame and machines with him.

Weapons:
Fire Gloves - A pair of leather gloves that he can ignite by striking his fists together. The Dust inside of them allows the leather to burn forever as long as the Dust is present. Not only do the ignited gloves give his fists extra punch, but he can also fling exploding fire balls from the gloves as an effective projectile.

Robots - Shade has a plethora of small robots at his disposal that each have varying uses, such as firing ammunition, tracking movements from afar, and even latching on to targets and exploding. Shade can only fit three of these small robots in his jacket at a time, allowing him to have a versatile fighting style.

Semblance: Robot Manipulation - Shade is able to easily create his own robots using a very minimal amount of materials, as well as analyzing other robots at a glance to find uses, strengths, and weaknesses. He can also control his own robots through his Semblance, eliminating the need to program them.

Hm, I don't know if I should be disappointed I won't be playing Sand, or relieved I won't have to push myself to post frequently. Anyway, good luck to those who got in.

Team naming comes next. Team... Fuselage (FSLG) maybe? Gonna be hard to get a color out of it. Good luck with that. Hope for minimum name changing.
