[OOC] RWBY: Chronicle of Vault.

@Shadow Daedalus
Pretty much all dust types are allowed.

[Sho Minazuki]

He can carry as many types as he wants, just remember it's not unlimited.

[Eklispe]

To be honest I've been stalking this for like a month pondering whether I should attempt joining or not so I figure I might as well ask. Would me adding a character make things easier or more complicated? I have no real desire to make things more difficult but I figure if I join that makes the 4 players so the GM doesn't have to worry about playing a character if he doesn't want to. *shrugs*

[Sho Minazuki]

Considering we have another person who joined, it'd be easier as you'd be put in a team with them.

At least that's what I think.

[Shadow Daedalus]

@Sho Minazuki Well, of course. He'll have to restock his supplies as he uses them. Also, try to mention people when you post replies. They might not realise otherwise

[Sho Minazuki]

@CadenGallic Any chance of contributing characters to filling some upperclassmen positions? I actually have quite a few character ideas that were never fully realized, if you're curious you can ask me about them. And of course these will be as NPCs.

[CadenGallic]

@Sho Minazuki
Sure, go ahead and post some bios! I've only got one team for upper classmen, so if anyone else wants to add, feel free.

@Eklispe
Fffffds, sorry dude I totally missed that post DX
Adding a fourth player would possibly make things easier for me. Go ahead and post a bio if you want and i'll be the judge of how it will affect things.

[Eklispe]

Thas fine ^.^

Anyway its way too late for me to still be up but looking at our current cast I'm thinking

-Short Female Human
-Friendly, innocent, doesn't know when she's bothering somebody, energetic. Kind of a kill switch for when in combat, not too edgy she just tends not to remember much of her fight and kinda loses her personality until its over.
-Semblance being extra 'aura' arms probably two, 4 tops
-Bio something along the lines of: dead dad hunter, raised by single mom, follow in dad's footsteps, pretty normal childhood.
-Weapon undecided, meele-short range though

I'll CS it up when I wake up XD

[CadenGallic]

@Eklispe
Right. We've got some time, but as soon as you can thanks. The addition of a female member to the team would be very welcome.

[Polaris North]

@CadenGallic

Do we have two bunk beds or just four normal beds?

[CadenGallic]

@Polaris North
Normal beds.

[Sho Minazuki]

Work in progress.

You're that ninja

Name: Shaoqing Shan
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Theme Song:

Height: 5'6
Weight: 53kg

Personality: Focused, serious, confident, but also a bit of a trickster. He is fond of exercising his skills, but at the same time is quite conservative, which can surprise some people as he may refuse to do things when people think he wouldn't. That said, he is proud of his skills, and knows he's good at his job which can get irritating for some people, and his job is espionage and assassination. He may not have stealth capabilities in his skills and weapons, which is exactly why he's so proud. He's damn good at the stealth section without any powers.

Academically, he is more than simply capable, and is even learning multiple languages, his career path seems to be in the shadows, and thus has already undertaken training for that purpose.

Aura: Flashy blue with lightning.

Weapon: Handgun, Sword
Weapon Name: Raiden
Weapon Functions: As a handgun, it functions as one would expect a handgun would. Although it has a few special features, first it's a dual ammo system and can switch between firing the revolver cartridge, or the handgun cartridge. The handgun cartridge fires regular rounds, and has a better firing rate, while the revolver cartridge is usually fitted with special dust bullets, and he carries more of these to load up whenever they are needed.

The sword flips the handgun out and creates a blade of aura, or rather, lightning. There is a conductive rod in the middle that recycles the lightning around it, allowing him to keep it out for huge amounts of time for negligible cost. Kusanagi is a better cutting tool than the Raiden sword however, as that is a much purer and concentrated blade of lightning. This is more a sidearm for self-defense.

Armor/ Clothing:
Semblance Name: Lightning Conversion
Semblance: In essence, the ability is to transform any aura he comes into contact with on touch into lightning, allowing him to completely destroy aura-based defenses and deal all that aura back to them as lightning damage. Condition is that he must come into contact with it through his hands, bare skin and all, making this kind of tactic risky if used incorrectly, but devastating and often an instant win if used correctly.

Naturally he can transform his own aura into lightning and channel it, allowing him to throw out lightning bolts, or travel upon them allowing lightning-fast movements. His movement skills can be surprisingly silent too, or he can simply use it to jolt his own body to move faster than normal.

He has a technique tree called "Susano'o", based on converting aura into pure blades of lightning. The moves are as follows,

• Kusanagi - Creates a katana of lightning, which he can simply use. Lasts for a fair amount of time, and can slice through most surfaces. He can naturally control the length for a larger or shorter blade, depending on the need.
• Kamaitachi - He can throw out small blades of lightning like shuriken.
• Raijin - He creates a bow of lightning and fires a shot.
• Fuujin - He creates kusarigama, a sickle and chain weapon.

Strengths: As a ninja he's really good at keeping himself hidden, but also due to his lightning skills, he can dispatch a foe in an instant. Unique to him compared to other stealthy fighters is that he can instantly destroy tanks who rely on their semblance, sneak up behind, and feedback all their aura into lightning and put them out of commission in an instant. His lightning weapons are also incredibly difficult to defend against due to their penetrative and destructive capabilities, and can dispatch foes in an instant.

Weaknesses: As a ninja, most direct fighters would beat him out on skill alone, so what he must rely on is his variety of skills to survive. Even his main weapon is more a side-arm than a main weapon, a simple sword and handgun. There is the reason he boasts the best acrobatic skill and agility of his colleagues, he would prefer to run and hide for a better opportunity when opposed. Plus, he needs to make contact for his feedback for long enough for it to take full effect, so he can also be vulnerable if spotted leading up to this move. His

Bio:

Etymology: Shan meaning "flash/lightning", and Shaoqing meaning "young blue".

@Sho Minazuki
Psycho mantis?
I am liking what im seeing so far, little basic but the semblance is a wicked idea.

[Sho Minazuki]

Raiden. Jack gonna let it rip.

[CadenGallic]

A friend of mine drew this.

[Eklispe]

I did the thing! Should be goodish ^.^
She actually ended up being rather similar to Azura from FE: Fates with the blue hair and the spear XD
Also her semblance and her name are very close to each other XD

Azura

Name: Azura Cerulean (Blue, Blue in plainspeak: Guess the theme XD)
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Face: Azura has remarkably clear skin and a face that's just inbetween cute and beautiful, no features seem to stick out, rather they all just seem to fit together

Hair: Azura had dyed her hair a light blue, it hangs to about her waist in the back and is cut short in the front and to the sides. Azura always takes good care of her hair so its very smooth. It is generally in a French braid and when prepared for combat it is tucked under her trenchcoat

Eyes: Azura's eyes are the reason for her name, they are a very intense shade of deep dark blue.
Skin: White, slightly tanned, clear.

Frame: Azura is a little on the short side but her body is rather propionate.
Height: 5 foot 5 inches
Weight: 54.4 Kgs or about 120 pounds

Personality: Azura is a very energetic person, she's eager to try new thing and make friends. On occasion her enthusiam can be annoying to those more reclusive and Azura seems to not realize when she's going overboard. She's very sincere in everything she does and believes everyone else to be as well, though this can lead to be her being a little naive. In the event Azura has to fight something or someone seriously it will be as though a switch has been flipped. Her normally vibrant personality will vanish to be replaced with a calm individual with is focused on nothing except combat, almost like an alternate personality, Azura refers to it as going on auto-pilot.

Weapon: Azura uses a black naginata.
Weapon Name: Solitude
Weapon Functions: Solitude only differs from a standard naginata in that the blade can be fired forward with surprising force and speed and retracted by a chain. This is useful for getting an extra bit of range in an attack but Azura can also pull herself to something by retracting the chain given the blade is suitably wedged.

Armor/ Clothing: Azura tends to dress casual in bright colors but practically. Expect shorts or jeans and a colorful shirt. If expecting combat Azura will wear a thick trench coat that provides more protection than one would suspect: along with black legging and metal armguards hidden beneath her coat.
Semblance Name: Asura
Semblance: Azura has a fine amount of control over her aura and her semblance allows her to generate up to four additional 'aura arms' that must be come from some part of her body (EX: can appear from legs, back, fingers) and can't stretch beyond her normal arm's length. These arms have about as much strength as Azura does; the only other notable difference is that they are remarkably sturdy. Azura can also create standard aura weapons for them to wield, but this if more draining then creating the arms. If she lost her own weapon she could also use one of these aura weapons herself, though it would be less effective than using her own weapon.

Strengths: Azura is rather strong, both mentally and physically. Her shortness and happy nature may cause one to find both of these unlikely, but its true, she is remarkably resilient in both respects. Her personality generally allows her to make friends easily and she has no trouble dealing with most people. Azura's semblance gives her a remarkable amount of diversity in combat and with her 'switch on' she had no trouble using it to its fullest extent.

Weaknesses: Azura is a bit naive at times, not understanding when she is being tricked or when someone has bad intentions. Her general exuberance can be exhausting at times and Azura doesn't have much of an off switch. In combat Azura's only real weakness would be a lack of long-range attacks.

Bio: Azura grew up in Vault for most of her life as a single child with only faint memories of her father, who died as a Hunter defending Vault during its creation. Her mother had a civilian job but made sure to educate Azura in how to be a hunter so she could follower her father's footsteps, as she always wanted to. Surprisingly growing up with only a mother seemed to have little poor effect on Azura, she was always sociable, ready to apply herself, and overall a good kid. She of course always wanted to be a hunter to honor her dad so it's unsurprising that she ended up at Lustre Academy.

@Eklispe
I like it, think that works out well!
So we'll probably be going with team JAVA instead in terms of naming and Yasmin and Cedar will both be on team SYLC, removing Isaac.
I'm actually sort of tempted to make another NPC team with Isaac and Cassidy since i like their characters, but I don't know if that would be character overload.
In any case, i'll give you a cue when it's time to intro your character in, in the meantime move em to the character page.

[Polaris North]

Well, in the short span of time that my character has interacted with both Yasmin and Cedar, he already came to like them. At least they're still in the same school.
