RWBY: Ragnarok

[Owlriel]

I’m looking for a couple willing souls to join me for an adventure all over Remnant. To try, and fight back an evil that threatens all of the world. One that exudes a mysterious miasma. That turns Faunus, and man alike into the Grimm. By feeding on their darkest of desires once inhaled. The source of the miasma is unknown, and it goes as quickly as it appears. What is known is that it seems drawn to areas of strife.

Please create a character using this Character sheet, and I’ll look over them.

My Character

Name: Mahina Blood
Species: Faunus
Sex: Female
Appearance: Has a long black feline tail with the fur patter of a panther. Her fingernails are painted a royal blue. She has brown colored skin with a red undertone. 5'8" 140 pounds with a nicely curved hourglass body with lean muscles. Narrow and upturned eyes with pure black sclera while the iris's are a deep golden color. The pupil is slightly slitted and thin more when angered. Wears royal blue wingtip eyeliner, and lip gloss. Oval shaped head with blackish brown eyebrows that are groomed to a natural attractive shape. Her ears are round with small royal blue gemstone stud earrings. Short black brown messy pixie cut hair with long bangs dyed royal blue. Normally wears a tight royal blue blouse with short sleeves to accentuate her curves. Over that is a black leather coat with a brown inside. Black choker necklace with a silver crescent moon symbol in the center. Light distressed white wash blue skinny jeans, and brown shin high lace up combat boots over. A black fedora with a thick royal blue band, with her symbol on the right, and a pair of small black circular sunglasses with a silver wire rim.

Personality: Laid back, and observant of the others around her and surroundings. She doesn't let the jeering or teasing about what she is get to her. Often times confusing others by turning some of the jeers into compliments. However, there is one thing she will not stand for. Which is another being injured due another's reckless behavior or bullying. When enraged she turns a little primal making her incredibly scary.

Background: As a child her parents worked with the white fang, but had left when the group became a bunch of criminals. As they didn't wish to raise a daughter in around such violence.
Being Faunus made making friends difficult because of the bias against her species. However, she never let that dampen her spirit knowing not all disliked her species. Often being proven right as some children would still play with her. Often times she'd sneak away to another old Faunus' house to hear stories of his travels all over the world as a trader. He'd even occasionally teach her different tricks he'd learned from all sorts of other hunters, and huntressess. Thanks to his stories she decided to be a huntress.
When it was time to leave home to begin her formal huntress training at signal academy she found that her friend had disappeared. The mark of the white fang being carved into his door began her vendetta on the group. She knew she wasn't strong enough then to do anything, but she would get stronger in school. She'd not stop training till she was a full fledged huntress. So she could finally bring the white fang to justice for their crimes.
After her years at signal learning how to properly wield the weapons she'd forged. She's come to beacon to finish up her training. Having more than proven she deserved to be there.

Weapon:
Tigers Claw: gauntlets that reaches all the way up to her elbow thickening around the arm. While the hand is thinner with taloned fingers. Which can go from 1cm to 7cm. On the back of the fist is a rotating disk with three spheres filled with dust. From the disk are lines going all along the gauntlets and the back of her fingers; they glow with the color of dust used. She activates the dusts powers by using raw Kinetic energy, and aura.
* Red Dust: Fire
~ Plasma claws: allows her to burn through steel as the talons become super heated.
~ Fire strike: As she swings her hand after a powerful torrent of fire flows forth from her hands. This can also be used to send her flying through the air.
~ Detonation: Sends out several balls of fire from her fists as she punches. Depending on the strength of her punches decides how far the fireballs will fly, before coming to a stop. These fireballs then explode on contact with any solid surface.

* Dark Blue Dust: Ice
~ Frozen touch: When the talons touch an item or person it causes ice to spread out as a sheet. Either to immobilize an opponent or cause the ground to become slippery, and hard to traverse.
~ Ice Shield: A large, and thick circular disc of ice forms on the back of her forearms. It's strong enough to stop bullets, and other strong attacks.
~ Ice spear: as she punches spears of ice come hailing out to pierce the opponent.

* Yellow Dust: Lightning
~ Paralysis strike: It sends out a powerful current through a target.
~ Speed boost: Speeds up her entire body to move at twice her normal agility.
~ Bolt: As she punches a bolt of lightning comes shooting out

Lions Roar: The gauntlets merge together into one large gauntlet only instead of a hand its a square canon shaped as a roaring lions head. The rotating disks holding the spheres of dust are on either side of the canon. The canons eyes glows with the dust chosen, and only one can be used at a time. A trigger is within the gauntlet where her hand actually is. When fired it releases a concentrated blast of elemental power. The cannon is so heavy that she must use both hands to steady it and aim.

Storage mode: When not in use the gauntlets become simple bracers.

Semblance: Ability to turn into a primal beast her head of hair grows long like a mane, and her mouth gains more pronounced fangs. Her fur, and hair glows royal blue. While her hair, and eyes leave a streak of royal blue trail of smoke when she moves. The more hits she takes the more agile and powerful she becomes. But, the more feral as well making it harder to control herself past a certain point. At the end of her semblance she collapses from exhaustion. (Though usually her preys been taken out by then to matter much... Usually)

Symbol: Cresent moon
Main color: Royal blue

Yes please I need more RWBY in my life. Hope you don't mind me re-using a character from another RWBY RP that didn't quite get off it's feet.

Clara Cuhullin

Name:
Clara Cuhullin
Sex:
Female
Species:
Human

Appearance:
Clara stands at roughly 5' 6". Her golden blonde hair flows down to the small of her back. Her face is free of blemishes or piercings, preferring a natural look with minimal makeup, only just enough to bring out her deep blue eyes. Her outfit is highly inspired by her semblance, choosing a theme centered around feathers and wings. Her gauntlets have a pair of wings sprouting from the wrists going up her forearms. The decorative olive green fabric beneath them is the exception to her wing motif. Her top consists of a hardened leather dyed a silver-platinum color, which help add a bit of extra "oomph" to places that she might otherwise be considered lacking. Her shoulder plates are made of a light, shiny metal that reflects the sunlight. A dull red sash is tied around her waist, flowing freely behind her. Clara would argue that her short, skin-tight skirt allows for more freedom while in combat, though it is also meant to show off her long legs. Clara's boots again follow her theme of wings and feathers, stopping at her knees, though her thighs are wrapped with a pair of wings that reach up to her mid-thighs.

Personality:
Clara clings to people. A lot. She knows just how fragile life can be, and so her goal is to make the best of what she can. This often leads to her overstepping boundaries and attempting to become too close to an individual too quickly, which many might see as a little invasive. Unfortunately, Clara knows this about herself and she tends to try and hide it, leading to many conflicting inner feelings.

Aside from that, she tries to see the good in everyone. In her eyes, the only truly evil thing in this world is the Grimm. Clara tends to be incredibly protective over anyone she meets. She would sacrifice herself if it meant that she could save the life of another.

Background:
Clara lived with her family, consisting of her mother, father, two brothers, and one sister. They lived in a modest house in the heart of Vale for most of her life. Clara's parents found it difficult to provide for the four young children, leaving Clara to help out as she was the oldest and most responsible. At the age of 11, Clara's father committed suicide and left Clara and her mother to take care of the other children. Her mother spiraled into a deep depression, resorting to drinking in order to numb the loss of her husband. Clara took on the responsibility of taking care of the other three children at an incredibly young age. She began working wherever she could in order to support the family - and her mother's drinking habit.

Clara had to stay strong. If not for herself, then for her siblings. Clara managed to stabilize the situation, though things were still rough. Things were starting to look up for their family. The next oldest, her brother Oliver began taking on some of the responsibilities. Their mother, while still suffering from constant drunkenness and depression, started down a journey of recovery.

Unfortunately, just as things began to look up, Clara's life took yet another unexpected turn. Her family had taken a trip to a small village to visit some distant relatives. On the way there, her family fell into an unexpected Grimm attack, where the defenseless Clara couldn't do anything but watch. As the Grimm slowly picked them off one by one, Clara knew that if she didn't run that she would have been next. She ran and never looked back.

It was this that inspired her to become a Huntress. She would do everything in her power to protect those that couldn't protect themselves. She dedicated her life to training, eventually making her way to Beacon Academy, where she would truly begin her training.

Weapon:
Zephyr:
Zephyr is Clara's multi-form sword. Zephyr's first form is a one-hand basket-hilted sword. This is Clara's preferred form, as it allows for more versatile combat. She can choose to get up close and personal, or keep them at a range with the 2.5 foot double-edged blade. It's ornamental hilt is decorated with wings wrapping around the handle, ultimately ending in a decorative gemstone pommel. Zephyr's second form is a two-handed longsword. The basket-hilt shifts into a winged guard, extending roughly 6 inches in either direction. The blade's length extends outward, adding an additional foot of deadly-sharp blade that allows Clara to swing harder and rip through even the toughest Grimm hides.

Semblance:
Clara's semblance appears through the manifestation of a pair of brilliantly white, transparent wings sprouting from her upper back. Clara can choose when her semblance is active and when it isn't. While active, her wings give her slightly enhanced movement abilities (higher jumps, slower descents, quicker forward/backward motions, etc.), though if she wishes to truly fly she must sacrifice a significant portion of her aura, making it nearly useless in a combat situation. Flying anything above roughly 20 feet drains her aura completely in mere seconds. Due to the wings being completely made of her aura, she is able to use it to block incoming attacks, as well as send out razor-sharp feather projectiles at her enemies.

Symbol:
A pair of wings folded over one another to form a heart shape.
Main color:
Light grey

So, what's the planned plot, what's the story we're going to be working here? There's really not much to go by beyond the setting and a general idea of battling the Grimm.

[Owlriel]

There is one did you not read it? That’s the main plot. People are turning into Grimm. It’s happeninf all over remnant, and there’s a need for hunter and huntresses more than ever due to this. The plot will soon become finding the reason why this is happening. Plus I figure people could give me some ideas through their backstories.

[Darkmoon Angel]

Color me intrigued, lol xD. But quick question, does the miasma immediately turn any who inhale it or is it like a slow and painful process?

[Owlriel]

It is a slow painful process, rife with sleepless nights as nightmares assail the victim first. But, the miasma at the same time doesn’t effect those with a pure heart. Though those are very rare, and you can’t just say your character is pure of heart. They have to prove it through their actions.

I’m also thinking of introducing a dice system. Probably just a D6. A one being a critical fail, and a six being a complete success. That way there’s no chance to power game.

[Darkmoon Angel]

So would you say a person finally turns in a week, a month, or a year?

[Owlriel]

In a week to two weeks time depending upon the willpower of the victim.

[Darkmoon Angel]

Okie, just asking for some ideas

Finn

Name:
Finn Steinar

Sex:
Male

Species:
Human

Appearance:

Finn stands at a tall 6' 2", and is often described as a grizzled, bear of a man. Oldened and wisened from his experience and age (although he doesn't like to admit it), it's very obvious he's seen his fair share of battles. Other than that, his appearance matches exactly that of the image above, save for his symbols which are placed on his gun axes and gloves, as well as a giant version on the back of his brown jacket.

Background:
Descended from a long line of Hunters and Huntresses, it was only a matter of time before Finn started his own journey. Gifted the axes of his father and mother, called Huginn and Muninn, when he enrolled, Finn excelled at combat and was noted by the Haven professors for his ferocity. With a clean record and above average grades, he immediately began a career as a huntsman. However, he decided to strike out on his own, and became a solo huntsman, journeying through the woods by himself.

Travelling on his own, he learned the lays of the land and learnt how to traverse them pretty well, and use them to his advantage. From snowy mountains to thick forests, Finn saw it all as he hunted Grimm. He returned back to Haven and became a professor for combat for a while, gifting his talents to the younger generation. From there, he passed on the knowledge of combat, being a wayfinder and the ins and outs of surviving in the wilds. Fancying a change of scenery, he became a professor at Beacon and enjoyed his career there. Until Ragnarok came.

Weapon:
Huginn and Muninn

Finn wields two axe guns that were passed onto him from his parents. Preferring a berserker style, the twin axes are brutal weapons that punish if they can be chained together in a flurry of attacks, and Finn's skill makes him relentless in his assaults. He can also fit a variety of dust cartridges in there, as well as regular ammo sets. He usually puts one type of cartridge in Huginn and another in Muninn to combo his elemental attacks.

His fire cartridge creates a short-range blast of fire, causing brutal damage up close.

The rock cartridge releases a scattershot of small, piercing stalactites when fired.

The lightning cartridge is a one shot blast that chains to up to five enemies, shocking them and paralysing them on the spot.

The ice cartridge is also short-range and freezes an enemy in place as they're knocked back a couple of steps.

Semblance: "Valhalla Burst"
The more damage Finn takes, the faster and tougher he gets. Think of it like hyped up adrenaline. While it does not increase his physical strength or damage, it does increase his speed and his ability to shrug off attacks also increases. While he may still be taking and feeling the attacks, he'll find it a lot easier to work through the pain or shunt off the impact as his body's speed increases. An average human can run at 10-15 miles per hour. Finn can increase this to 30 miles per hour. However, there is a catch. He can only keep this ability in a fight. The effects dwindle a lot more rapidly when he's using this as an escape tool, but activating the full effect becomes a lot easier when he's running at the enemy.

@GingerBoi123 This character sounds awesome! At first I was all hmmm, this doesn't seem to work. Then I did a double take, and I was all WOWIE! He sounds perfect especially as a teacher. But, your character will be the only PC teacher besides the ones I play that I'll allow. As too many could severely tip the balance.

[Red Mage]

I"l lhave a character up tomorrow. its so late right now I gotta go to bed

[GingerBoi123]

@GilgexThank you very much! He's very heavily based off of "being a viking" in case the references weren't obvious enough xD. Glad you think so. I decided to make him a teacher because I didn't see anything about age limit and figured it would be a good way to make sense of it all too. Glad you're on board with him!

Murasaki Koreiko

Name: Murasaki Koreiko

Sex: Female

Species: Fennec Fox faunus

Appearance

She is 145 cm tall (4'9) and proportionally light. She is 16 years old and has a bit of a complex about how she hasn't "filled out" into her ideal body shape and is beginning to worry. So she says her height is 5'3 because if you count her ears and her

geta

thats a bout how tall she is.

Background: (will update more on this) Menagerie is her hometown. She comes from a long line of fox faunus. She is the only child and has inherited her family's naginata techniques.

Her family runs a shrine in Menageire for the god of light. She comes from a family of priestesses but she doesn't have any real desire to settle down and worship. She would rather have an adventure. Thus she set out to become a huntress against her mother's wishes. Her father was a human man and she has never met him. All she has of him is a picture she found of a man with her mother from before she was born. When she confronted her mother about the picture she was told to never bring it up again. However her rebellious side is strong and so she still has the photo with her as she goes around with her huntress duties.

Weapon: Her naginata. It is her family's traditional weapon. It doesn't transform but the bulky slot just behind the blade holds dust and she can fire 8 dust shots from the tip of the polearm underneath the blade. However she usually uses purple dust to create a flame that assists her in damaging the Grimm she wishes to destroy as well as disorientate people.

Semblance: Telepathy. She works best in a team and a team works best with her. She can link up telepathic bonds with people to make a 2 way radio-like connection. She can string multiple of these together to make a web of communication possible between a team. However the more people in it the harder it becomes to maintain. Also the distance plays a key role. She is pretty clear for about a mile out. Further than that it gets hazy. If she makes a telepathic bond with someone and it isn't broken but simply goes out of range all one needs to do is come back into range for them to re-connect.

She can pick up some surface thoughts of those around her if she listens intently. To those not actively attempting to hide their thoughts from her and are sufficiently near her will give off their general emotional state as well as vague terms of what is going on. For example if someone is worried about a test she will understand that they are anxious/worried and may hear terms such as "test" "math" "teachers name" "different profanities" but not complete sentences. It can also be misleading such as if someone is afraid they left the oven on she will sense "fear' and may hear things like "fire" "homelessness" ect. She would have to do some detective work to put together what the hell they meant.

Have room for one more? I'm super interested in this.

[Owlriel]

Let’s see your character, and I’ll decide then. Because I am leaning towards it being full.
