@tobiax Good to have you on board. Apparently, we need a general theme for characters within teams. I've already described Vlad's inspiration, a historical figure turned into the basis of a mythological entity... so perhaps further that general connection? Or find another connection, though I'm not sure what.

@BCTheEntityHuh, silly me I forgot it was you who submitted Vlad. I'm in the works to find an inspiration with Turboshifter, as he/she has his/her character fairly well planned out. We can find the pins that match between your two characters, and have my inspiration match still. Now, had you gone the more Strahd vonZarovich angle instead of the Dio angle, it may have bee easier. Still, we have room for tweaks and figuring things out.
But there is an easy theme that fits with both other inspirations and my character's last name, and some themeing that comes up and doesn't really change for him.

Oh, oh, can I reserve ASHE's S please?\
I actually need to find another one letter, didn't see that ASHE had a white at first XD

EDIT: JUST REMEMBERED, I had a different color for S too X3
Could I still get that S?

EDIT 2: Also, does ASHE have a theme yet?

SUPEREDIT:
TBH I don't really know if any characters I would play being in a specific category.... I'm still interested in a RWBY RP though. I'm just not one for standing on the shoulders of giants....

Alright then. Perhaps instead of going on my own to think of a character. I'll just ask if any team has room and if they wouldn't mind me joining. Then, perhaps they can let me in on the team's theme and we can work from there. If not, that's fine. Spaces are being filled at a steady rate, so it's fine if there isn't a spot available in the end. :)

If you're fine with not having a white colour, feel free to tag along with ASHE and our uh, vaguely literary/epic heroes thing we have going on. I'm going with Arjuna as a base, though admittedly I'm going to try pull from the Ramayana for influence rather than just the Mahabharata.

@Mangrale Alternately, if I may offer, Team VNLA, ironically, seems to be drawing from some of the darker edges of literature/backstory, just a bit. Granted, we don't have a solid theme, and I don't have a specific backstory, inspiration, or weapon, we can discuss that later. So, if you're okay with that, and us, you could be the L in VNLA. (I mean we have Vlad Țepeș Dracula, something potentially from Oz, which got pretty messed up, and my tentative Lindworm stuff. I'm considering going Lancelot or Gawain and the Green Knight, depending on how everyone else wants to go.)

@tobiax Oh, shit, you know what? Mythical villains could be VNLA's schtick, if you go with Mordred as the inspiration.

EDIT: I'm gonna also say, your character's Semblance seems very similar to Nora's. Just so you know.

Monsters from folklore and mythology might be better, as my character has a slight Frankenstein/"Modern-Day Prometheus" vibe to them.

@BCTheEntityAlmost, but Turboshifter's character inspiration is adamant, and not technically a villain. You could PM him/her I guess if you want to know it, but I don't think he/she's comfortable with it being public knowledge yet, or how flexible he/she might be, or if he/she'd be okay with me telling you, even if personally.

Well, these offers aren't just for me of course. But I'll see my way to a decision as soon as I can.

I know. But it's the execution where it varies. And getting hit by lightning doesn't help Aven or power him up, so Nora would actually wipe the floor with him, just saying.

Oh, cool, so we have Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, potentially the Lindworm, depending on my weapon, or I could work Nidhogr into it. Again, I'm open. So, yeah, @Mangrale if that kind of theme suits you, then welcome aboard!
And I guess it kinda doesn't. Shame. Still have the villain/antihero thing going for it though.

@Turboshitter That is also a very good plan. Vampire king and Frankenstein are both there... if @tobiax wants to go with something relating to Arthurian legends, like something dragon-related or what have you (and the character is named Lindworm, after all), then that resolves the issue of what exactly your character is or does, assuming you aren't comfortable discussing it publicly as is claimed.

@BCTheEntityIn short, the Lindworm was a dragon of noble linage that demanded a bride and ate princesses, until one clever princess was able to not only make it not eat her, but turn him into a handsome prince. In a nutshell at least. It's from Slavic folklore I think. But, again, I could alter into any particular one based on backstory. I could just be a dragon in general.

@tobiax Sounds good to me. Dracula and Frankenstein are both relatively specific myths/tales, so a Lindworm-based character is excellent. Now we just need our fourth person to have a connection to... well, some form of monster, if they can think of something reasonably specific, rather than a generic creature like werewolves or ghosts. If we're talking werewolves, maybe Beowulf's Grendel? Or Norse mythology's Fenrir, or what have you.

@Mangrale I do like that idea. Your character's name will need to start with an L, in that case. Other than that, I think most further discussion about this can be done in PMs; @Turboshitter, @tobiax, if you could get Mangrale and I into a PM with you guys, that'd be brilliant.

I like it. I can mix in some other things too. I thought Grendel was more of a troll... but okay. Fenrir is sick tight. And if we do get a werewolf themed character (who'd be more fun as not a Faunus I think?) we'd have the four classic monsters.
