It was a great post, don't worry. Xanadu and Coal seem like awesome characters to work with.

Also while writing this message I accidentally typed "Xuanadu" before correcting myself. Ship name, anyone?

@banjoanjo

Dude, totally! XD

Name:
Bole Hasdrubal

Nickname:
None as of the moment

Age:
18

Race:
Human

Appearance:
(I'll get a picture up soon-ish)
Tall and stocky, standing at 7'6'' (228.36 cm/2.29 m), Bole is towering and stern, perhaps almost intimidating. Skin darkened from being out in the sun too long, short brushed cut brown hair, and gray-green eyes. His ears are strangely pointed at the tips, and he has a trio of large scars running across the length of his arms.

Personality:
Disciplined, responsible and hardworking, Bole is probably not the most "fun" guy; he takes his duty as a would-be Hunter seriously, and anything else he sees as his responsibility. Succinct and direct, he is a painfully honest person, and he knows it - he just doesn't care, to the point that he tiptoes on being insensitive. He's a hard person, and rarely shows his soft side, and probably never has in public.

Bole's attitude to life is centered around the idea that "someone has to"; if other people are happy and enjoying their lives, someone else can't be. Someone has to do the work, and carry the load, and since he wants to be a Hunter, why not him? Conversely, he dislikes laziness - especially if it comes at someone else's expense.

History:
Bole comes from a settlement on the outskirts of Vale. Of course, most settlements outside of the Kingdoms are victim to constant Grimm attacks. Most everyone who lives outside the safety of the kingdoms are forced to learn how to fight at an early age, and Bole is not exception. He was just one among thousands like him; kids that grew up constantly in danger; however, though they learned how to fight, the truth was, most children his age never had to defend themselves once. The Hunters of the village often proved sufficient in repelling Grimm attacks, and despite the constant drills and alerts, he led a fairly happy life. Over the course of many years, the Hunters that came to the defense of his home constantly earned his admiration. One time, after visiting the town infirmary, he happened to sneak a glance at the subjects of his admiration.

They were lying in beds, some of them moaning as they tried to suppress the pain. Some were missing limbs, others still had freshly blooded bandages covering mangled limbs. Bole hurled over the floor the next moment.

It was here he began reflecting on how his happiness came at a cost; or more specifically, at their expense. He'd always wanted to be a Hunter, but now, there was something more than a "dream" behind it; it was now repayment, of sorts. He had his happiness, so now it was his time to let someone else have it.

Weapon:
Two shotguns:

• Orange Sky - His primary weapon is a really, really, big collapsible shotgun, exactly 8'4'' long (254 cm/2.54 m); it's shots are extremely powerful, enough to tear most Grimm to shreds in a single shot. For practicality purposes, he only uses is it when hostiles are a distance away.

Once they come within a certain range, he switches to his second weapon:

• Peacemaker - a sawed off single handed shotgun that's almost as powerful as his first at close range. Alternatively, he can use either to club his opponents.

Semblance:
"Eyes Over Heaven" - his Semblance allows him to see everything around him. He can modify it to go from a birds eye view, from below, or as if he were right next to a person; he can even make it so he's looking at himself. His vision is unaffected by things like light, physical obstacles, or illusions, making it a "true sight" in a sense.

His Semblance requires an incredible amount of concentration, however, and using it while in battle or if he's hurt badly is near impossible. It's possible to rectify this with training, but so far, it's still proving incredibly difficult.

Dust:
If he can afford it at the moment, he prefers using fire-type Dust to increase the power of his guns, or alternatively ice-type Dust to form an immobilizing casing of ice.

Other:
Is rather good at menial labor, such as cooking, sewing, cleaning, etc., or rather, he likes being independent. He's also frugal . . . or a penny-pincher, depending on you're point of view.

I set his age to 18, if that's okay. He's rather poor, so he spent a year scraping up money for his weapons before enrolling.

@TheHangedMan

To my knowledge, it's 17 only, as the only criticising I can give, but You'll have to consult Liberator on that one for confirmation.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@TheHangedMan I don't see any problem with this character, but I can't accept this character without Libs input.

[Jeep Wrangler]

@TheHangedManOverlooking your reason, I'm fine with the 18 Age Set, but like I said, and Allen, I can't decide for myself. Lib should return later, no doubt.

[TheWendil]

I'm probably going to post either late tonight or tomorrow.

[Jeep Wrangler]

I'm probably going to post either late tonight or tomorrow.

@TheWindel

I'll try to respond to that soon.

[OwO]

I am no longer the sicky-sick. I should post in a few hours.

[Aquaknight]

I'm debating if I should reply now or wait for the rest of Forrest's team to reply for first. Decisions, decisions.

[LokiLeo789]

@Aquaknight
Reply? I need to reread the IC. Y'all gotta start tagging tho, just in case. I'll write a post to atleast get something started for out team. Be it just exposition and dialogue.

[Jeep Wrangler]

Responding time is delayed. Gimme some more time. I apologise for this.

[Scarifar]

Hey uh, I know this rp seems to be full, but do you guys have a waiting list or anything?

[Jeep Wrangler]

Hey uh, I know this rp seems to be full, but do you guys have a waiting list or anything?

@Scarifar

If I could answer that question completely, I would, but from what we know the answer may be that we have no more space. However, until our GM, Liberator, returns, we don't have anything to fully answer that question with.

[Savo]

Does anyone know what Lib has been up to? Busy or something?

[Mixtape Ghost N]

Does anyone know what Lib has been up to? Busy or something?

@Savo

I murdered her.

[Apollosarcher]

@Mr Allen J I'm pretty sure if that's how you plan to gain power, Bran isn't very safe as team leader...

[TheHangedMan]

I'm lonely ;_;

[Jeep Wrangler]

Does anyone know what Lib has been up to? Busy or something?

@Savo

Most likely a stack up of working things, that or something important has happened and they needed Ty prioritise that.
