[OOC] Beacon's Light: Rising - OOC (RWBY)

[Sixsmith]

Oh, collabs. Me and Fallout/Dusk have experience with those.

We stole an RP from a GM who went afk for 3-5 months without a word or warning (meaning she left without warning us). I am still ashamed and will never commit such an atrocity. ._. I'll let Fallout clear things up because it was his idea.

[Nefarious Prime]

Asura said they'll be more present 'round these parts, so here's hopin'. :P

Hey, if the GM's of this thing are absent, I'd rather it continue on then fizzle out. But we'll try to stick around, though it seems everyone posts a storm in the times I'm away from the comp. :P I'd prolly better wake up earlier, late nights and later mornings might be an issue. XD

We were extremely pumped about it, so, at the time, letting it die wasn't an option. Don't worry, Nef, if we have to take the helm at some point in time because real life decided to kick you in the balls, we'll be sure to blame Asuras for anything and everything.

Oh, you have the same problem I do? Lol I go to sleep at 6 in the morning and wake up at a random time late afternoon/evening. ._.

EDIT: Also, working on the villains. It's the Cat and Fox, so it'll hopefully fit in with Pinocchio and the gang. I can work with you on their villainous intents to better work in with what you had in mind for Pinocchio, Geppetto, and Jiminy.

Nefarious Prime said
Fast? Ugh, sorry, last few times it was so slow, I thought this was getting slow too, the real meat of the roleplay is when they get to school anyways. >~<

I'm just worried that by the time I wake up, anything my character could have taken part in has been and gone.

[LupusIntus]

Trust me when I say moving too fast is more desirable than moving too slow... such as when a certain group of people are fighting on the roof of a certain assembly building and thereby holding up the entire entrance ceremony.

Hypothetically speaking, of course. XD

Pretty close to it, I watch shows online pretty late, I gotta stop. XP Sure, message me when you get stuff done.

Okay, we'll try to work on that. I'll try to make sure things move smoothly so characters have time to finish things, though try to be forgiving if some people's schedules line up for them to be online at the same time. :/

Of course, that'd never happen realistically. :P

Isaac Frances Markeel

Name/Nickname: Isaac Frances Markeel

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Weapons/Equipment/Armour: The Markeel type 4 Projectile manipulation unit: WALTER

WALTER references a unique part of Isaac’s kit, and is the main part for his dominating successes in the registration exams: as well as the two most recent Under 18 Regional Tournaments for duels and combat. WALTER is best described as a set of metal strings that is unique to Issac and useful only due to his Semblance. These metal strings are left dull most of the time, and are used to manipulate and control whatever it is that they attach to, generally Isaac’s secondary weapon: a set of ten electronic bayonets. The WALTER unit is worn as a pair of gloves, with each of the metal strings being connected to a digit.

The Markeel Type 8 Electrified stun-knives: The Jupiter Bayonets
These stun-knives are razor edged daggers infused with blue dust in order to electrify the edges of the weapons in order to create deadly combinations of slicing action and stunning shocks. A single slice of the Jupiter Bayonets is known to leave a Beowulf’s limb numbed for up to a dozen minutes. Aura shields generally diminish the results of a slice to nothing more than a dull electric pain. Isaac carries ten of these daggers

Semblance: Kinetic Manipulation
Isaac is known for his ungodly control of the WALTER unit in order to skilfully outmanoeuvre and trap his opponents in a web of unavoidable Jupiter slashes. The source of his control comes from the his Semblance, which allows Isaac to manipulate the movement of any inanimate object he is in physical contact with. The ability is theorised to be able to manipulate the trajectory and speed of anything from bullets to buildings. The ability cannot be used on organic beings of any sort, and whilst the theory is strongly suggestive of manipulating objects other than the WALTER unit, Isaac remains a relative novice in the intricacies of the ability: only able to manipulate already moving objects connected to his hands.

Hobbies: Isaac has, since the age of 7, been trained to an almost religious fervour under his father’s total control. He rarely has times for anything outside of his elite training regimen and his studies. During the limited downtime he has, he can be found listening to music and possibly reading.

Bio: Little is known about either Isaac or the Markeel family. Facts are surrounded by hearsay and rumour, and people often dismiss the truth entirely as rumours designed to besmirch the honour of an otherwise elite family. Isaac himself seemed to pop into the public’s view at the age of ten: when he first was entered into an elite academy for gifted pupils. He excelled in the system of rigorous training, combat readiness and Hunter theory, and was hailed as a prodigy.

The Patriarch of the Markeel family is even more mysterious than the son: The man is a recluse who runs the Markeel military conglomerate: a group of renowned weapons manufacturers and military contractors. It is unknown who sired Isaac with the Markeel’s family head.

Isaac entered his first Regional Hunter tournament at the age of fourteen. No one knew what the boy could really do, except that he was supposedly a hotshot from the Private Hunter academy. As such, many people underestimate the boy and expected him out by the third round. He won the entire event: thrashing students four years his senior.

This domination at school and in Regional tournaments continued for another 2 years running until he reached the age to apply to Beacon. He could very easily have circumvented the entrance combat exam: but his father wrote a letter to Beacon’s former headmaster- asking for his son to be given a chance to test himself against other recruits. He met against a Faunus in the exam, and obliterated the poor individual in a single, devastating and well-orchestrated blow that left the Faunus hospitalised

Personality: Isaac is a charismatic individual at times, and a calculating and manipulative character at others. He is blunt as a tack and sharp as a knife: with little patience for people unproven or unworthy. He takes a long time to warm to strangers, and seems only to make friends when it benefits both him and whatever machinations he has brewing at the time. Despite this cold appearance, Isaac is more than capable of acting friendly, should the ruse benefit him in some way. He attempts to surround himself with people, and uses his charm to make friends with those he thinks are more than useless.

Isaac is a known racist: and has been shown unafraid to let his views of the Faunus be publically known. The young Hunter-to-be would rather see Faunus subjugated and accuses them of being soulless: the difference between Isaac and most other racists is his ability to stand up for his claims. There is zero chance he would befriend a Faunus willingly. He doesn’t take kindly to Faunus sympathisers, naming them ‘tainted.’

Isaac has been shown to be particularly interested in people who he deems ‘socially useful.’ This could be anything from the strong to the wealthy: and he is far more inclined to make his interests in friendship known to these people.

Appearance: Short and lean, Isaac could easily be mistaken as a push over at first glance. He doesn't appear as physically intimidating as many, standing at a mere 5 foot 10 inches. He normally wears loose clothing which hides his otherwise muscular form. Isaac has cropped black hair and blue eyes, and does really have any distinguishing scars, spots or blemishes. All in all, he looks remarkably average in normal clothing. When he is prepared for combat, Isaac favors a more offensive attire: donning a more form fitting shirt and movable trousers: as well as his trusty WALTER unit gloves. He is never seen without at least two of the Jupiter Bayonets designed by his father.

The main unique feature about Isaac's appearance is a near-religious dedication to wearing his headphones: specifically a pair of over-ear headphones. These headphones are faded from use, and are either over his ears or around his neck: even whilst sleeping.

Post Sample: (If you feel one is required, I can throw it here.)

Allow me to introduce the 95/100% complete Isaac.

[Sixsmith]

Pascale will enjoy pranking everyone and anything that moves.

I will enjoy watching Pascale preform pranks on Isaac and Arara in particular. >=3 Especially if one is on her team.

GODDAMMIT PEOPLE

y u post twelve posts while i sleep

:c

On a serious note, I have midterms this week, so today, tomorrow, and the next day my activity here will be a bit reduced. I need my sleep and y'all are largely active at night.

I'll still be here, but a little less than usual.

ERode said
Nef, just saying, but from past experience, even if you give Asuras a shared work document and permission to post one-liners in a convo, he'll still take a minimum of three months to finish a collab. XD

NOT ASURAAAAS.

Ain't nobody killing NOBODY until we at least get through the entrance exam/ team pairing!

Wouldn't it be better to kill each other before the entrance exam? So the teams don't suffer or need name changes.

[Dusk]

wait who wat, something about pads.

Wasn't that Ex's idea, Hae? I dunno. But yeah, pirate pad made things so much easier. I'd get behind the idea for this RP, due to the fact that we're gonna be in groups. It'll make post authoring a whole helluva lot faster.

Permitting that everyone is on. We suffered with that problem for quite a while >.>

[Demous]

I just noticed i've made a group of 4 <.< >.>

[ERode]

You'll always be Asuras to me, Asura~

And thus, I shall never forget those collab days......be posting, but won't have much to post, because lolAraragivesnoshitsaboutfaunusplebs.

[LimeyPanda]

I don't see why Google docs doesn't serve the function of collabs.

[ERode]

Both work, but online pads like Titanpad and Piratepad have a shareable document AND a chatbox at the side, so you can actually communicate and talk. XD

[LimeyPanda]

but...so does Google docs.

[Krayzikk]

Ha!

I have conquered the first and most stressful day of my exams, and as such, have no more pressing engagements for the day. In light of this, I should have a post up shortly.

(And yes, ERode, it will finally have the reaction that was cut short by... Well, Kalimay. XD)

[ERode]

Google doc's chatbox function is less obvious. No one that I collabed with or that I've seen collab ever used it.

fair enough. I haven't tried Piratebox: so I guess I'd be willing to try it.

Edit: or Titanpad, for that matter.
