@tobiax

Why thank you. JUst to be clear as I write up a cs, what is the theme exactly... I saw someone mention theme music?

[tobiax]

@Lichthart With Falcon? Oh, why thank you. Well, to be honest, I'm accepting players based on character quality moreso than when they appeared. So if I like your idea, you're more likely to get in.
@GrizzTheMauler Music, yes.

Tori Frejsdottir

Age: 23

Sex: Female

Phenotype: Human

Appearance:
Though the picture doesn't get it across, she's tall, a few inches over six feet, and rather bulky, covered with quite a bit of lean, wiry, powerful muscle. Her usual outfit consists of a white tanktop, a red and white vest jacket (pictured), a pair of white cargo pants, and a pair of white sneakers with red stripe.

Nationality: Atlesian

Weapon: Sigyn - A set of DBPG, or Dust Barrier Projection Gauntlets. With her usual straightforward self, Tori styled it in the fashion of two massive, enormously heavy full-metal plates of armor that encase her arms all the way down to the elbow, heavier than most could lift with one hand. They possess no ranged capabilities, and no special way to augment her punching force (whether it needs augmenting at all is debatable). However, she can insert vials of dust in the side and project the dust in front of her hands to form a barrier. As would be expected, different types of dust produce different types of barriers; red dust will burn what hits it to cinders, light blue dust will freeze it, etc. While she only needs a single hand to create the barrier, a one-handed shield is relatively small and fragile. With hands linked, however, she can create a much more substantial breathing-room space, able to handle even a short volley of artillery fire. If she wants to further bolster the defensive capabilities of her gauntlets, she can encase the barrier of dust with her aura, leaving her personal self with less defense, but everything behind the barrier pretty damn safe. They don't collapse at all, so whenever she's not using them, she straps them to her back. That's quite a feat in itself, as the fists of these gauntlets are about half the size of her torso.

Semblance: Bulwark - Tori can naturally see the aura of others as a bright haze surrounding their body, and at a thought, she can consciously shift any amount of her own aura off of her and onto another. This essentially lets her be a mobile guard unit; if any member of her team runs into trouble and their aura starts depleting, she'll know, and she'll bolster it with her own at the cost of her own vulnerability. Because of this, she has exercised and trained ceaselessly to the point of having a huge amount of raw aura. Just to be very clear, she can only control her own aura, nobody else's.

Aura Color: Brilliant scarlet red.

Team: She was once one a team called WNTR, but it...disbanded quite catastrophically. It was torn apart from the inside out, and it's left her somewhat colder than she once was.

Emblem:

Personality: Tori is, in more ways than one, a guardian, and allergic to bullshit. Generally brusque and gruff to those that she finds even the smallest bit suspicious, she's extraordinarily protective of her friends and team members, and will not hesitate to get up in your face if you try something that endangers those that she cares for. That’s not to say she doesn’t have a fun side; in fact, she thrives on attention and loves being at the center of things, especially parties. If she views you as a threat, though—to herself or her friends—she will not hesitate to drop you. As a byproduct of this straightforward nature, she is brutally honest to everyone, and has no stomach for liars. No matter the motive. In her mind, lying is, without exception, a bad thing to do. As much as she wants to protect people, she has a tendency of not taking care of herself, and often ends up sleeping through the day because she’s so exhausted from pushing herself past when she already should’ve rested. Behind her gruffness and protective nature, there's something fragile and broken deep down within her that goes back to when Team WNTR was torn apart that nobody ever sees. Despite that, true to her nature, she's extremely blunt and straightforward about her past. If you wanted to know about WNTR, she'd tell you.

Background: What’s that? You want to hear about my past?

Sure, I guess. Order another round, I might be a little while.

I was born way up north in the far northern reaches of Mantle. Real little town called Svartheim, barely a blip on the map. Mostly farmers, and some retired hunters like my dad. So me, my dad Bjorn, my mom Frej, and my younger brother Ander—wait, really? I never told you guys I had a brother? Weird—we all lived together in this big house in the middle of town, right? Think about that for a sec. Poor town, wilderness all around, big mansion with one family living in it, mostly malnourished, weak peasants. Svartheim’s the kind of place that draws bandits.

So I was sitting by the windowsill embroidering—hey, don’t laugh, I wasn’t always this unfeminine—when I looked out the window and saw a plume of smoke. I didn’t think it was much, but it slowly spread until there were six or seven pillars rising into the sky. I don’t know what’s going on, so I go to ask my dad, right? And he’s lying there in bed, not paying any attention. I try to talk to him, but if you think I’m stubborn, you’ve never seen my dad. I swear he rolled his eyes when I ran off too.

Outside, I ducked out of sight, just wanting to find out what was going on, when I see it: Ander is on the ground, a man with a huge sword just raising it above his head for the killing blow on my brother. And you all know me. You know that won’t stand. Feeling powerless, I reached out my hand to Ander for what I thought was the last time, then fwoosh! I felt my aura whiff right out of me, and I watched the sword swing down at Ander’s neck…

And it bounced.

It bounced right off him, leaving him even more confused than that highwayman.

Soon after, the bandits left permanently, if you catch my drift. Very permanently. And good riddance. So after I saved Ander’s life, my dad finally got a clue and enrolled me in real education. Went through Atlas Academy without any...without too much trouble, bar one or two notable moments like Reiken deciding to go nuts and kill Warden, and that's what brings me here. As long as I can help the people that are counting on me, I think I'm going to be alright. I just hope it doesn't go south in a big way like the last team I was on.

The last member of my team? No, she's still alive, at least I'm pretty sure she is. She was last I checked, at least, and she's definitely not a pushover. Nimmie Zinnschmidt, her name is. Real weird girl, but we all loved her. She was a lot more attached to Warden than I was, so she really closed up when he died. I haven't seen her in years. I hope I see her again one day.

Damnit, getting maudlin. I've been talking too long and now my throat’s dry. Where’s the second round?

Likes: She finds polishing her gauntlets very therapeutic, and takes great pride in keeping them. In general, she's fastidious, generally taking over the responsibility of keeping wherever she's living at the time neat. She loves nature, especially the mountains. While it's not something she likes more than anything else, per se, she enjoys exercising and is proud of her fitness. Finally, lest you think Tori can't have a good time, she really likes getting drunk.

Dislikes: She doesn't like flippant people. As somebody who takes her duties as a Huntress very seriously, people who treat it like a game or a joke tend to make it into her bad books. As a rule, she generally doesn't like chaos and disorder. Her greatest dislike, however, is duplicity. She vehemently hates two-faced people, and finds it difficult to even tolerate being around them.

Strengths:
1: Tori is...musclebound. As a byproduct of the training that strengthened her aura, her physical body grew too. She is immensely strong.
2: In her own words, “I dare you to try killing me.” Between her weapon and the sheer volume of her aura, she can take a preposterous amount of punishment and pain before ever really suffering through bodily harm. She is the archetypical ‘immovable object.’
3: Though if she doesn’t like you she’s stubborn as a mule, to those that she knows and trusts she’s a very calm person, relaxed and ready to go with the flow. She remains calm under pressure, and is generally a decent fit for leadership roles, despite not being the leader of WNTR.

Weaknesses:
1: Though she has a lot of aura, it’s usually dispersed around whoever she's working with at the moment, leaving her with the same as anyone else, if not less. Even if she is in possession of her aura, she has no idea how to use it offensively with any technique short of “just hit it really hard.”
2: No ranged capabilities whatsoever.
3: Tori can be a bit...obsessive about protection, to the point where if an ally is wounded in a battle—even if it’s barely anything—she destroys herself over not being able to help them.

Relationships: At the moment, nobody.
Other: She has a habit of both making and laughing at terrible puns.

Just hammering this out before I pass out. If something's up about it, let me know.

[Lemons]

Just looking at the new posts that have been up and sweet lord there is so much delicious commonality in between Tori and Ginto. I can't wait.

[tobiax]

@Lemons Thanks for the swoll bae.
And yeah, I'm sort of tentative, Ginto's Semblance is, along with being kind of all-over-the-place, really similar in some ways to Tori's. Or are you referring to something else?
Oh, and what do you remember about my character from WTA? Because I was personally interested in seeing how Tori and Aven would have interacted, but I'm not sure how you feel.
Because I'm also feeling like importing a different character. Might do both. Though, if you want, we could rewind Tori to second year/being 18, and not have WNTR be catastrophismooshed?
(Pls define "Delicious commonality"?)

[Lemons]

@tobiax I was mostly referring to the personality similarities, what with the whole "blunt honesty and truthfulness above all" thing, and the protectiveness. I actually quite like where I went with WNTR being broken up and that being a major personality point for Tori.

As for Aven, I'll check him out, but all I actually remember is that he could do stuff with electricity like a madman.

[tobiax]

@Lemons Ah, right. I see. Good point. ... Knowing Tori that could get psychological.
Hm, that feels rather telling to me. But I'll leave it up to you. I'm already importing a Mistralese Huntress as well.

@tobiax

Looks like we're gonna have a lot of Huntresses. Not a bad thing considering the sexuality of my character, lol. Also edited my CS. Just click here so it directs you to the thingy.

tl;dr: i toned down Ginto's semblance so it focuses more on the offensive aspects of her combat style. i made it so maintaining the edges drain her which gives her something akin to a flashlight baton-sword thing and begs for more creative use. i'm unsure about the "Shield" aspect (considering Tori's semblance and weaponry) but i hope i made it balanced enough. i also made Ginto less edgy, having some hopeful notes instead of focusing on vengeance. added a team as well, tho they're not really fleshed out and is basically to give more flavor to Ginto's past. maybe give her a reason of why she's not so focused on the bad things since two of her teammates are tricksters and jokers, the third member having enough money to throw around to help fund the pranks of the other two. also, instead of just having hatred and loathing, i added in a dash of despair and recklessness as well. can't forget the pinch of social awkwardness too.

Hit me with the comments and I'll change shit accordingly. If there's none, then that's good for me!

[Polaris North]

I was actually expecting there to be a lot of huntsmen. Lima was originally going to be male but I changed my mind after a while.

Huh, never expected this. But oh well.

[SolusFalcon]

Never fear, I’m making a male huntsman! I’m still debating on the overall feel of them though. Do I make a more supportive/offensive character, or an agile offensive character.

[tobiax]

@Elle Santiago I'll check it out later. Thanks.

@Polaris North Noticed that too. I expected more equal, but not complaining.

[AlternateMan]

FINALLY I AM DONE
LET THE MUSCLES BE

Mauve Lingo

"My parents taught me how to use my friends as stepping stones. I taught myself how to forget about that nonsense."
Name: Mauve Lingo

Age: 27

Sex: male

Phenotype: human

Appearance:

MUSCLES

Nationality: Mistralese

Weapon: Grape of Wraith
A giant spear-hammer with a magnificent purple handle. Rare among modern huntsmen and huntresses, it is a 'classic' weapon, which doesn't turn into a gun or shrink in size and weight. However, its strong head can effectively bash and skewer the creatures of darkness when applied enough force and used with appropriate technique.

WEAPON.

Semblance: The Hunt Begins With The Shade Of Purple
Mauve can let out a purple gas. It can only exist within 10 meters radius within himself. The gas can form a figure of himself holding his weapon, which can physically interfere. Depending on his conditions, the number of figures he can form at once changes. In normal times he can form up to two of them. The ‘gas clones’ can deal considerable damage, but is only scattered into a cloud of gas when attacked, and can easily reform. They also don’t take orders-they work with their ‘instincts’.
The ‘gas clones’ only attack grimm within range, but they may attack people that Mauve is pissed off at, but only if he activated his semblance after he’s mad.
The semblance itself consumes a lot of aura when activated, making it a great gamble if he’s fighting a grimm with little to no chance of victory.

Aura Color: dark purple.

Team: PLMM(former, currently disbanded)

Emblem:

Awesome Emblem

Personality:
Mauve, in a nutshell, is a joking and ‘loose’ person with not so polite attitude and a shy personality(which people find odd compared to his muscles). He is caring for his friends, and values friendship and trust more than other.
The freedom searcher. He likes to keep himself free and rolling. Such attitude includes being not srrict about rules, and no forcing things unless it's really, really, REALLY neccessary. Therefore he may be seen breaking some rules if you have any for him, though he makes sure he doesn't cross the line-he'd rather make jokes than commit crimes.
Generally a bluff. He learned this 'mischievous' joke from his former teammate, who used to brag about random daily activities that were usually not something to brag about. He often bluffs his stories to make it into a mess, joking around with various versions of a same story, each with different bluffs in it.

Background:
The Lingo family is famous for its top-notch huntsmen and huntresses it showed the world every one of its generations. Mauve was born to the Lingo family with very strict parents.
His family had Mauve go through tough training from his childhood. They had him keep strict rules about his life so that he would be the top notch huntsman they expected him to be, as a member of the Lingo family. Lucky for him, Mauve was an excellent student-he excelled at what he learned, and hardly forgot any of them. And the expectations rose as his skills were shown.
The boy was turning to a fine huntsman, except for one flaw-as time passed and his thoughts deepened, so did his hatred for his family. He hid his emotions until he grew up old enough to enter Haven Academy, where he met his teammates. While pretending to follow his parents' instructions, he planned an escape- a Grand Escape. With the help of his warm hearted teammates, Mauve ran from Haven Academy, and from the family's eyes, and sneaked into Vacuo. He continued his training as a huntsman there with his team. As graduation neared, his family tracked him down, and quite a happening happened at his graduation. His parents stormed in in search of Mauve, and he ran away from graduation. His team was disbanded after the happening, and Mauve went to hiding for the next few years. After confirming that his family gave up on him, Mauve started his career as a 'freelancer huntsman' as he says, roaming from town to town alone and doing missions by himself.

Likes:
-Friends. They were the ones who helped Mauve stand the increasing pressure during his days at Haven, and he values any and all friends he make, caring for them.
-FREEDOM! He spent his childhood stuck in brutal training, and because of that he loves the taste of freedom.

Dislikes:
-Most of the Lingo family, and specifically his parents. All his childhood, they looked like big bullies with stubborn thoughts, which was an idea he confirmed at the graduation ceremony at Vacuo.
-Too strict rules/people.

Strengths:
-Fast and Strong. He's got muscles, and trained ones. Even with his classical hammer-spear, he could storm in with amazing speed and send a grimm flying across the street with one good swing.
-Trained, hardened, combat-ready. Mauve admits that his childhood training helped him become a decent huntsman, and it does benefit him. He is quite familiar with his weapon, has learned strategies against grimm, and experienced some hand to hand combat sparring.

Weaknesses:
-No guns. That means no effective ranged combat tactics. Sure, he could throw the Grape of Rage... the only problem is how he'll run though a barrage into enemy lines to retrieve it.
-Lacking cooperative skills. He might’ve been taught how to fight, but he didn’t get to get used to the concept of ‘co-op’, and therefore lacks proper skills to help out his allies in fight. This can lead his allies and himself into dire situations.

Relationships- currently N/A
Other: Hex Code: N/A

@AlternateMan I'll consider it.

[HueMan]

Actually... been looking for a RWBY RP. Seems like some characters are already in but... got room for 1 more?

[tobiax]

@HueMan It's more about quality than quantity. Let's see what you've got.

[tobiax]

@Elle Santiago Oh, now I remember. I wasn't convinced about Aura being hereditary, nor that the unsealing of one's Aura by another was particularly commonplace. Like, the impression I got was that was something that happened due to not having time to just tell Jaune how it worked, or teach him how to use it.

@tobiax

Lol, you lost me with the unsealing of the Aura. I don't really know how it's done considering that the only time it was unlocked was during S1 with Pyrrha unlocking Jaune's aura. As for using it, Jaune seems to use it instinctually. I think it's the semblance that's trickier.

@Elle Santiago

I'm saying that having someone else release someone's Aura is atypical, as far as I know, and it would seem that most are instructed, and that they have the time to be, actually going to a combat school and all.
