From what I know, we will be starting after the Initiation, when we're being assigned our teams and such. I guess we will decide pre-IC, the partnerships. I don't know about forced, though, haha.

-Need to think of a semblence, Can anyone help?-



Looks like we lost our E, but there's a perfectly good E character here. That is if he is still interested.

I'm sure he is. Right, @The_written_John? Aside from a missing semblance, the only thing I see wrong is the picture since they wanted high quality ones.

Actually, a thought has occurred to me. We seem to have several characters who are Faunus, and RWBY has implied that Faunus possess certain animalistic traits that humans do not (the only one that springs to mind was Dr. Oobleck saying that many Faunus have better night vision, but I would imagine that there are other advantages). We've also seen that Faunus seem to bear certain stereotypical traits according what animal they are based on (Blake adoring fish stands out).

This makes me wonder if the animal traits Faunus have vary according to their sub-species, and if so, should we establish what each of our advantages are?

Speaking of lots of Faunus, might have accidentally made a little bit of a rascist? Woooooppsss...

@NarcissisticPotato I have now become fixated on a scene where Aeta meets Cyra and immediately thinks "Finally! Someone who's shorter than me!"

@NarcissisticPotato *Grabs collar nervously* it's going to be sooooooo awkward for Solomon to be around Aeta. I'll laugh if they end up on the same team~

@Thundercrash Yeah! I forgot to add those in Solomon's CS, so since hes a dog would he have slightly better senses of hearing, smelling and night vision compared to humans? Which would actually help with his Semblance~

@Lord Santa

I'm impressed with your assessment on Lelia. Indeed, I wanted her as a rushdown character. While studying to become a Huntress, the only thing she will be looking forward to is a career in serving a future family head as bodyguard. Ideally, she would be exterminating threats in the quickest way possible.

Yes! Id love to take that spot! Though im wondering, is the pictue eally that low of quality? I couldnt exactly find an image which fitted the type of style i needed....! That and the app did say an image was optional... So sould i just remove the image?

Edit: nallore's picture is of a lower quality than mine, in terms of pixels that is, unless we're seinf different images? The one is posted is fairly large XD

As for semblance, i gave it somethought, tryin to think of somthing...

Was thinking a stronger healing ability, but that'd be overpowered i think

I was then thinking a semblance that allows Eminence to force his opponents to see illusions, which hurt and damage an opponent because they think they're being attacked by say a grimm or a hunter, though this semblance cannot be used to kill, and instead stun, knock out or distract foes.

So @Lord Santa gave us a good idea on how our characters will work in combat together, if they are willing to work together, I'm interested in how our characters will be like forced to work with certain characters?


Do you want me to answer this? I'll try my best.

I think you're talking about team personalities, and honestly, that's a dicier subject considering personalities are significantly harder to write. I myself know that it's pretty difficult to write down how they are, and even when I have a solid plan in mind, I find that, for me at least, it's one of the hardest parts to write about. But hey, that won't stop me from thinking about this.

Given the difficulties, I'll need a little bit, but I'll do it anyway. Sorry in advance if I misinterpret people's characters, but you can just yell at me later :P

I would say that we don't make up teams according to how personalities would mesh. These are all people who presumably have not met each other until now, and I think part of the reason for having Huntsmen and Huntresses train in teams is that you sometimes have to work with people you don't necessarily get along with.

Plus, team dynamics change over time as the individuals get to know each other better and become accustomed to each other.

@The_written_John when thinking of a semblence, remember that as a huntsman, we'll be fighting grimm. Not each other. So would illusions actually work on grimm? Don't gear abilities towards how well you would do fighting others. Just a thought. As for the image quality, I mean in terms of how it looks. For example:

Low quality/generic

High quality:

Of course the image doesn't matter that much, but if you're going to add one, why not make it the best?

I agree with this. We should focus on making cool team names!

It's more or less the style of the drawing I believe the gms preferred. Like I said it's not a big deal, nor do I personally care... I'm just stating/trying to explain what was previously said.

Yeah, but we're basically theory crunching at this stage, and it's mainly for fun. I, for one, am basically doing this to kill time before this starts. And also, you pretty much pinned down one of the reasons I'm hesitant to match up personalities and stuff. As mentioned before, it's a little touchy when it comes to personalities and they aren't static things. So yeah.

Pretty much, as long as it's in the spirit of fun, I'd be happy to do it, as long as it doesn't come off as somewhat forceful or something, like I'm enforcing my will on your characters. That's sort of what I want to avoid.

And also, this is partially to make naming easier since there are so many combinations, but ey, I'll give it some work.

@Lord Santa In that case, I would love for Cyra to be partnered with a human. Her greatest fear is being a exposed as a Faunus and then rejected for it, because she has faced that all her life, and being a scorpion Faunus makes her physical appearance more unusual than most. I could see Aeta creating some delightful opportunities in that regard.

@The_written_john
I'll give you some input on your semblance before I go to sleep.

Your character's essentially a heavy damage dealer but is quite slow in doing so. He can't dish out much, but if he hits you with it, it hurts. That means that if you want a more offensive type semblance, heavy AoE oneshot attacks suit your character better, I'd say. Something like a big laser beam, or a power blast of sorts. Something big and flashy, that does a bunch of damage.

On the other hand, your personality indicates that he dislikes being pushed around, and he likes protecting/serving people. In that case, it might be good for your semblance to instead buff your defensive prowess without lowering his mobility so that he can protect himself and his allies better. It ties in with his personality as one who likes to help people, you see.

As an alternative route, you could have both as part of a duality sort of thing. You could maybe have the shield first, which takes energy from attacks when it gets hit that you can store up and release into a really strong laser blast. I sorta feel like this is the best option considering that you seem to want to have a little of everything. I also noticed that team DEVL don't have many defensive options, so yeah.

Those are my suggestions, anyway. Feel free to use them as you wish.

Oh, and I'll see to crunching personality compatibility theories in the morning. I gotta go to sleep sooner or later.

And she will lord it over everyone else that she is, in fact, not the smallest huntress in Haven! :3

That would be very interesting indeed! She's a smart cookie so I'm sure she'd figure out something was up if he started getting awkward about her White Fang rants! C; Also, is Solomon still spying for the White Fang?
