Around 10 years ago, the world of Remnant faced a peculiar crisis. Not a crisis of any fantastical nature such as the growing threat of the Grimm, nor any threatening individuals. No, the problem Remnant faced was simplier.

Overpopulation.

As more small settlments were overrun, be it by Faunus radicals or hordes of Grimm, many were flocking to the Kingdoms of Remnant, Vale, Vacuo, Mistral and Atlas. And as these kingdoms took more and more under the safety of their walls, space became finite, resources began to run out and it seemed they were on the verge of potential collapse.

The governments of the four kingdoms came together to discuss possible solutions for this growing crisis. The talks went on for days aboard a special Atlas built council ship. Finally, a solution was drawn up between the four kingdoms. The birth of a fifth kingdom. The creation of a new living space would give new rest to the wandering masses and could even allow them to mark more land on Remnant as safe, something becoming increasingly difficult.

The kingdoms pooled their resources and gathered an army of loyal soldiers and cunning hunters and marched across the land, one side from Vacuo and the other from Vale. The two armies converged inbetween the two kingdoms and began the building of the fifth kingdom, a kingdom that would come to be known as Vault. In the coming years, the men and women of the four kingdoms worked tirelessly, guarding the encampment and beginning construction upon the new kingdom. Their terrain was favourable, the land surrounding what would become Vault was rocky, craggy and lined with natural defences, fissures and high rising stone they would incorporate into their kingdom's defenses.

It took almost an entire year, but soon, from the crags and splits in the land, the kingdom of Vault arose, a township with defensive keeps manned by Atlas technology and brave men and women. A new hunters academy was formed to train what would become its populace, seeking out an old but wise ex hunter and inventor to become its headmaster. This, became Lustre Academy.

Now, 10 years have passed since Vault and Lustre Academy was formed. A mining community has formed out of the township as a vast deposit of dust crystals have been found underneath the earth, springing the kingdom into economical prosperity and dust based technologies have benefited greatly. Lustre Academy has garnered something of a reputation of being too soft as it is currently the easiest hunters academy to apply for with lower standards than even Beacon, however its graduates have proven unto the world they are no slouches in the act of hunting.

But even now, rumours abound of criminals making the kingdom of Vault their home. With such prosperity brings the ones from the shadows. Dust Runners have been sighted in the area and have been making raids on various locations. The White Fang, however, has not shown their face there. Some wonder if Vault and Lustre Academy are truly safe and the governments of the other kingdoms still watch their little experiment to see if it will truly be a success...

1. All of RPG's usual rules.
2. No godmodding whatsoever.
3. GM's word is law but if you have questions for character building or certain situations, go ahead and PM me.
4. Post length and quality. I generally expect decent quality but don't feel too bad if every post isn't two paragraphs. For battles and simple actions, I don't mind short paragraphs. No one sentence posts though, ideally.
5. You're starting out as semi experienced and you'll grow overtime, so put some work into the arc of your character's powers and strengths.
6. I generally expect a fair amount of attention and not getting left behind. Make sure to PM me if you're going to be away for a while, I will listen.
7. If you get hit, take the hit. No miraculous dodges if a post explicitly states you take damage. I guess this plays into rules 2 and 3 but... eh, I like to be careful.
8. If you are applying with a character, post their description in OOC first. I will alert you if it's ok to move it to the character page.
9. This is for the entrance exam and later forming of teams. I'll be deciding the teams based on performance in the entrance exams so don't go expecting too much.

</hunter expansion>

Name: Fluores Verdalia. (Basically an altered Fluorescent Green/Verde)

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Species: Half-Faunus(Cat on her mother's side)Female, Human genes dominant.

-Height:5’10”

-Weight:175lbs

-Eyes: Lime Green.Eyes have a slightly upward slanted angle to them.

-Skin color: Fairly pale due to sticking inside most of her free time, tinkering on some new object of interest.

-Face: Her eyes are what draw in most people, usually alert and examining whatever has caught her attention for the moment. A small nose precariously holds a pair of glasses on her face. Very little make up is ever applied, save for formal events.

-Hair: Wears long to hide her ears, or lack thereof. Neon Green, gradually fading about mid back and becoming white at the end. For this reason rarely wears her hair back.

-Physique: Fluores has a lean build. She is mostly leg. Small hint of muscle. C-cup.

-Aura:Her aura is Neon Green, with a pulsing ring of white traveling from the bottom up. The pulse of white speeds up when her aura is used more liberally, the frequency a good indicator I how fast she may be burning through it.

Personality: If one were to describe Fluores in a single word, Curious would probably be the first to come to mind, though lazy (”Efficient!”) would be following closely behind. Fluores holds an almost uncontrollable urge to know, always taking things apart and examining them down to their core, both metaphorically and literally when possible. This can sometimes cause her to become unaware of boundaries, though she is rather self conscious of this should someone bring attention to her odd ways. This trait is amplified immensely should her equipment become damaged or unusable at anytime, becoming highly anxious and prone to stress, her reliance on it having made them into a kind of security blanket of sorts.

Weapon: Neon Green Hardlight formed beast like claws on both her arms and legs, forming gauntlets reaching up to her elbows and greaves covering her knees. These are emitted from circuitry and hardware running from her gloves and kneesocks. She can use the hardened photons themselves to send out bursts of beams for distance attacks, but after a few shots the limbs will need a few seconds to reform, leaving her weaponless for a short time. These blast are effective up to mid-range, quickly losing their stability much farther after that point.

Weapon Name: Party Animal

Weapon Functions: Floures carries around raw crystals of dust, generally a cheaper form of dust rather than the refined stuff used for most weapons. Able to easily apply them by simply holding them between her claws and the hardlight energy absorbing the dust energy itself into it for a few minutes. Can also be used as a foci for her semblance, allowing her hands to take th attributed of the dust imbued.

Gravity Dust:

Party Animal-Allows her to either increase or decrease her own weight.

Reach-Allows her to increase or decrease the weight of whatever she holds in her "hands."

Lightning Dust:

Party animal-adds shock damage to her attacks, as well as tripleing the times she can use its ranger functions before needing to reform them.

Reach- Vastly increases the speed that her "hands" move, as well as the speed that pull either her or her target, becoming hard for one to follow with their eyes.

Armor/ Clothing: Wears an open knee length lab coat with the Atlesian Military symbol emblazoned on the right breast pocket. She has modified it slightly to split the coats tail up to her waist, allowing her own to come through the split. Floures normally wears a pair of black shorts,along with lime green kneesocks, the material seeming to be durable yet elastic. Fingerless elbow length gloves made from a durable fabric black as well. Both the knee socks and the gloves have what seem to be various strands of thread that shimmer when the light hits it just right as a result of her weapon being integrated into them. A white tank top with her symbol upon it.She wears an array of various bracelets on her left arm.She wears a pair of small rectangular glasses, the frames are a lime green, and the earpieces being white. She wears a necklace on a simple chain with a bell charm. A simple pair of black flats completes the outfit, the whole thing geared towards comfort rather than fashion.

When wearing the Vault Uniform, she still wears her lab coat.

-Gadgets (if any):Has hard light hairband with 2 triangular metal frames that creates a pair of slightly translucent Neon Green cat ears, as well as a dull grey belt with a long knee length side extending from behind her, creating a highly flexible slightly translucent Neon Green tail. She can change the form of these by selecting a default setting that she's programmed, or a completely new one after a few days of writing new code for the form, though nothing too far from the base frames. They have been programmed to respond to her brainwaves and will move and react in line with her own subconscious.

These serve to basically replace her hearing and offset her disability. Tail is used to help correct her balance as a lack of an inner ear has made her equilibrium sketchy at best. They started out rather utilitarian in the beginning, made by her father, but as she grew older she began tinkering with them, stylizing and upgrading them. While they allow for a higher hearing sensitivity and increased sense of balance than normal, she is effectively crippled without them, not having needed to survive without them for years.They are currently on Mark VIII

Semblance Name: Reach

Semblance: Can basically increase the length of her reach through a phantasmal hand that extends from her arms, mimicking her arms motion.Depending on the weight and stability of the item, she can either throw or retrieve it, with solid items like buildings/Trees/Large Grimm instead pulling her along. Can extend up to 50ft. When used while her gauntlets act as a dust foci, her hands may take on the properties of the dust. Tends to use mainly Gravity dust and Lightning dust. She will often use it to zip about the battle field, landing anything from a glancing blow to a clothesline if she's feeling dramatic as she zips around.

-Activation Cue: An aural copy of her arm appears, extending from there, though a stream(tether, line?) of aura connects it to her, only the hand can interact with objects.

Strengths: With her years doing maintenance on the equipment to counter her disability, as well as making Party Animal, she is well versed in weapons repair and maintenance, as well as general repair. Her acrobatic fighting style, mixed with the mobility of her semblance can make her rather difficult to hit.

Weaknesses: Once her Aura is depleted, Fluores is not the most durable off fighters, unlikely to take more than a few hits before going down. The years of relying on her ears and tail to offset her disability mean that should they ever be taken out in a fight, she is literally crippled. As well as the physical issues, the ears and tail now act as a sort of security blanket, making her prone to anxiety and panic without them.

Bio: Fluores was born to a Jasmine and Glade Verdelia, a Huntress and Atlesian Military Researcher respectively. Fluores had the misfortune to be the victim of a genetic deformity known as anotia at birth, her ears (human) having not formed. For the first formative years of her life, she lived in a world of silence, unable to even hear her own name, as well as having been unable to stand on her own till she was three due to her lack of an inner ear effectively crippling her sense of balance. Through years of trial and error, her father spent any time away from work trying to find a way to help his daughter, writing code after code in an attempt to recreate a sense of hearing. It wasn't until she was 4 that her father finally finished the Mark I, the world seemed to open up to Fluores. Glade had taken an abandoned project he'd worked on early in his career, meant to enhance soldiers perception of the battlefield, developed to counter the natural abilities of many Faunus during the Faunus rebellions. While it had been scrapped, being deemed to cost heavy for mass use, Glade was how it may be modified to correct his daughter's disability.

Fluores's was largely raised by her father, her mother often gone, the life of a Huntress necessitating she be gone more often than not. However when her mother was home, Floures was regaled as she acted out tales of facing down hordes of the incoming Grimm, tales surely exaggerated, but Fluores are them up with gusto, always excited to hear the new tales her mother might have brought back. While her mother was away, her father found he could not always be there should something happen to her equipment, and began teaching her early on how to make small repairs to them, finding his daughter to be a quick learner. After a few years, she had found she took to the maintenance and repair rather quickly, soon outpacing her father on upgrading the equipment as she was able to put her full attention to the gear that she relied so heavily upon. It wasn't long till she had her own little workshop set up in the family garage, steadily improving on the original design and stylizing to make them uniquely her own.

As Vault was in its early stages, Fluores’s father offered to help in the formative years of the kingdom, leading advances in the kingdoms security systems, while her mother aided in holding back Grimm attacks.As Fluores watched the kingdom grow around her, she felt a deep pride for this new safehold as the Grimm were pushed back. As she watched it become a budding new kingdom and listened in awe of the stories mother told her about fending of the Grimm, it was little suprise once she announced her intentions to follow in her mother's footsteps. Having now graduated from her battle school now, she awaits with mixed feelings of excitment and nervousness as she heads to Lustre.

Name: Blaine Ambrose
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance:
Symbol:

Frame: A little more built then average
Height: 5ft 7"
Weight: 148 lbs

Personality: Blaine is a very happy, cheerful and energetic person who outwardly displays this, including his love of music. He likes to bring a positive energy to everyone he encounters, trying to make the best out of every situation. Fighting, dancing and making music are all good times to him. His main hobby is DJing and he loves creating music. If he wasn't going to become a hunter, he was probably going to try and become some sort of DJ superstar. He's a bit cocky, but more headstrong if anything. A trait he sees as determination is more likely stubborn recklessness if anything, but one thing is for sure, he's gonna get back up.

Weapon: In melee form, his weapons are two yellow and orange tonfas.
Weapon Name: Blaine's weapon is called "Amber Melody"
Weapon Functions: His metal tonfas have a flintlock pistol mode, where he slides the handle backs. Clicking them back, the trigger flicks out of the handles. Fortunately, it does not use the same reload as a flintlock pistol would use. Instead, Blaine uses red dust cartridges instead, which slides into the bottom of the handle.

Armor/ Clothing: See appearance. Wears brown jeans with orange stripes that run down the sides, accompanied with black boots on the bottom half.
Semblance Name: Bass Control
Semblance: In short, Blaine can control soundwaves. For example, he can quieten the shot of his pistol, or project his voice into a concentrated force to push people back. People would not go flying like some sort of Fus Ro Dah. Blaine can't knock people down, but it could certainly slow someone down, like a strong gust of wind. Another example is mimicking the sound of a branch snap, to distract his enemy. He has to actually make the noise, so he can't control the sound something or someone else makes.

Strengths: Making music, resilient, good stamina, good blocking technique.
Weaknesses: He's not incredibly acrobatic. By no means slow, but he won't be doing elegant backflips like Ren. He also has a tendency to take the blow for someone else, part of his reckless nature. Blaine will happily jump in front of an attack to defend someone else, but this will most likely get him caught in more trouble, or a worse situation.

Bio: Blaine's life was very average, apart from all of the fights he got in at school. In his case though, he never started them, just jumping in when people picked on his friends. Of course he got in trouble, but it's a trait that stuck with him. However, as this continued. It made him realise that some people just couldn't defend themselves.

Blaine grew up in Vale, his parents living comfortable lives and comfortable jobs too. However, they were not very pleased when Blaine would come home with a black eye with the same old excuse of "They started it." It was time for a new outlet. His dad took Blaine shopping to look at CD's, holotapes and more that were related to music. It was then that his father told him another value that he lives by.

"Son, there's more than one way to communicate. Music is what feelings sound like."

Blaine was hooked, and although his dad showed him the classics, the would-be hunter much preferred the newer sounds of techno and electronic music in all of it's forms. At 14, Blaine had gotten an entire DJ set for his birthday as it was the one thing he wanted. This DJ set goes with him wherever he goes. Between learning how to fight at Signal Academy, and learning how to create music, it was only a matter of time before Blaine started applying to become what he really wanted. Music was great, and was never leaving his life, but there were still people that can't defend themselves. It was time to learn how to become a real hunter.

Name: Gale Azure

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Face: Gale has soft features and large eyes that make him look younger then he is.

Hair: A very dark shade of blue that is almost black in color and is brushed to the side to keep out of his eyes

Eyes: Gale's eyes are a shade of azure which are framed behind a pair of black glasses

Skin: his skin is clear and fair with little freckles on his shoulders and back, also soft and smooth to the touch a telling sign of inexperience to the hardship of life.

Frame: Gale has a lithe body with slightly wider shoulders then hips due to his weapon of choice.
Height: 154 cm (5'1")
Weight: 46 kg (102)

Personality: Galeis an optimistic, friendly, outgoing, and carefree young man with a happy-go-lucky attitude that makes him approachable and easy to befriend. Gale is also very kindhearted and compassionate, something that is highly sought after in a Huntsmen, he cares deeply for the people under his care as well as his friends and family. He is overall very friendly to everybody he meets, he rarely holds grudges, and is very open minded towards others and their culture even towards people that means him harm. Gale will always does his best to support others he cares for even if it puts him in harms way and he will do everything in his power to avoid resorting to violence. He would much prefer to be reasonable and make compromise instead of fighting back.

Gale is rather naive can at times be rather socially obvious, due to his isolated upbringing by his parents. Gale has never battled a Grimm a day in his life and is rather clueless on how to fight in a real battle and is also obvious on the hardships of being poor or being hungry. While Gale is often prepared to go on mission at a moment's notice, he has a bad habit of biting more then he can chew, requiring somebody more skilled to come in and help him, especially when it comes to a Pokemon battle.

Weapon: Giant Warhammer/Rocket Launcher

Weapon Name: War Song

Weapon Functions: War song is a giant Warhammer that is taller then Gale almost twofold, it is expertly made and is lighter then it looks yet heavy enough to smash any Grimm or anybody that opposes Gale. The handle of the giant Warhammer is a rocket launcher that can shoot out massive dust powered Rockets to take out things from a safe distance. It is also a Foci for his semblance as he can the giant hammer to create powerful gales of wind to sweep over the battlefield and he can his semblance to swing his weapon faster.

Armor/ Clothing: Gale always wears fashionable outfits, often wearing suits and ties for causal wear and on the battlefield he wears an exquisitely made dark blue cape, dark blue dress coat with an incredibly long coattail, white dress pants, and dark blue combat boots.

Semblance Name: Second Wind

Semblance: Gale, as one would say can control the gales. Gale's semblance is Air Manipulation. Meaning Gale can create, shape and manipulate air. Currently Gale is inexperience with using his Semblance as so far he can only create moderately powerful winds to knock over Grimm and humans instead of sending them flying, currently he most uses it to increase his combat speed making his War song lighter and swing it faster and he also uses it to increase his running speed and increase his height when he jumps. But this semblance has the potential to be very powerful but he is far from reaching it.

Strengths: Gale is a surprisingly strong and durable fighter with incredibly strong weapon and great potential when it comes to his semblance.
Weaknesses: Gale is horribly inexperience on the battlefield and is overly reckless and often does more then he can handle and is overall just too soft to endure the cruelty of the battlefield as he currently is.

Bio: Gale was born as the only child to a pair of Valite aristocrats, Elizabeth and Norman Azure. Gale was healthy and happy child, born into a life of comfort and freedoms that very few people can say they have. People would expect The Azure's to be all snobby and overly prideful jerks like most aristocrats, but they were good people who tried their best to be the best parents to their child and make the world a better place then when they were children. His parents altruism rubbed off on Gale as he was always a nice and gentle child who cared deeply for those around him no matter how much or little he knew of the other person, his altruism would later inspire him to become a huntsmen so he can be just like the heroes he read about in legends and books.

But Vale's aristocratic society was a toxic place where kindness and softness is frowned upon and is mocked severely behind people's backs, the Azure's were hardly popular with the rich crowd as their belief in equal rights for the poor and the faunus made them public enemies, the Aristocratic mockery he endured as a child further shaped his willpower to become a Huntsmen as he believed being a hero will make other people rethink their words and become better though example.

When Gale was a growing he remembered his parents being one of the first ones to back up the fund the expedition to create what would be later known as Vault. Also during this time Gale started to train so he can make true of his wish to become a Huntsmen.

Not long after once Vault was formed and better protected the Azure family moved to the new nation so Gale can be raised away from the harshness that the Vale's aristocratic game and to also to become one of the first Vault Huntsmen. Once he moved to Vault Gale trained even harder, eventually he learned how to summon his aura and after a few more years of training he learned how to control his Semblance, not long after learning to use his semblance, His parents commissioned a weapon so he could properly fight Grimm, which he later called the War Song. After years of training and fine tuning his aura and semblance, Gale is to join Lustre Acadmey as first year shortly after his seventeenth birthday. He is excited to finally put his training to good use. But he may have bitten more then he can chew.
