I understand the rp's started recently, but is there room for another stray?

[VitaVitaAR]

@CryptDemon: There is.

[CryptDemon]

Excellent. I better start writing then.

Lautaro Aayan Capala

Name: Lautaro Aayan Capala

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance: Lautaro is a rather tall man, standing at around 6'2" with broad shoulders and defined features. His hair is a dark brown colour and is somewhat long, the strands able to fall just into his face before tapering off. It can be said that Lau has a rather permanent drowsy look on his face, his eyes slightly drooped at all times which gives the appearance that he is constantly fighting the urge to sleep, though that isn't far from the truth. His eyes are often concealed by his hair, but once exposed, they are shown to be a very pale blue colour, almost grey. While Lautaro looks to be constantly half asleep, there's a certain alertness that over comes his eyes when he's pushed to work, a kind smile never faltering on his lips, an expression which only serves to amplify his relaxed features.

Personality: Lautaro is a rather friendly individual. He may not be the most vocal person around, but that doesn't prevent him from socialising with others, enjoying being around other people and just being there as silent company. Despite his sleeping habits, Lautaro is a rather motivated person in contrast to what one may believe, a firm determination hidden within grey, sleepy eyes. While motivated, it's rather rare to see anything more serious than a small frown on his lips, which is often rapidly replaced by a smile, and even rarer for him to raise his voice unless calling out for someone. Bursts of emotion greater than 'content' and 'pleased', are things rather unheard of in regards to the very calm man.

Brief Backstory: Lau grew up as the middle child in a rather large family, which was somewhat wealthy in the eyes of the current state of the world. His family worked for the betterment of the world... Or so that's what they told their youngest son. Lau never had much interest in the meddlings and inner workings of the family business. Even when brought to work with his father, he still wasn't certain what exactly was happening, instead far more focused on trying to figure out how to sleep while standing up. It was already decided that his elder sister would gain authority over the business, so Lau found no point in muddling with such a thing.
As a child he spent much of his time outside playing with his younger siblings, Xia and Avari, while his elder sisters worked together for the betterment of the family business.
Lau also had aspirations to improve the world and follow in his families footsteps (even if he wasn't sure what that was as they were shallow footsteps now covered by snow), but he had no intentions of getting trapped in an office for days on end. He found too much pleasure in being outside, sleeping, and rough housing with his siblings for that.
He joined the military as soon as possible, and quickly showed his salt as a rapid responder which significant amounts of energy. Due to this he was later picked up by the Red Demons, believed to be a promising recruit... When he wasn't asleep that is.

Equipment:
1) A neck pillow
2) Zip ties
3) A new set of shoes
4) Sewing kit

Skills:
Power Nap: Like the name suggests, while not necessarily a skill, Lautaro has the ability to sleep anywhere, no matter the circumstances.
Energy Bursts: While he may appear to be almost constantly asleep or tired, the frequent naps he takes enables him to exert more energy more rapidly, keeping his reflexes sharp and movements swift.
Evasion: His ability to experience bursts of energy has also influenced his fighting style throughout the years. While he is a relatively strong person due to his size, he prefers instead to evade attacks, allowing the opponent to wear themselves down before striking the final blow.
Stamina: A skill which goes hand in hand with his energy bursts. Because of the amount he sleeps, he has greater amounts of energy stored away which can be used to extend the period of a fight, however that doesn't mean his stamina is limitless.

Crimson Arm: Senkō Haretsu. A name which translates literally from Japanese as 'Flash Burst'. The weapon takes up the appearance of a sleek trench knife, the end of the blade hooked ever so slightly, ridges formed over the bridge that shields his knuckles to enhance damage in hand to hand combat. When used the blade grants temporary bursts of speed, similar in some ways to Lau's energy bursts, only it grants a greater amount of speed in one direction, launching him forwards at great speeds to either evade or strike the target he's aimed at. Left behind Lau in his movement can only be described as ripples of electricity, leaving small burns on the earth beneath his feet and occasionally melting the rubber soles of his shoes on occasion. The accompanying electricity isn't only for dramatic effect however, as it can be channeled through the blad, heating to immense temperatures which can carve through steel.

@CryptDemon: Aah sorry for the delay I'll get on this today.

[Zoey Boey]

Are our characters in uniform or can they wear whatever they want?

[CryptDemon]

Take your time @VitaVitaAR

[VitaVitaAR]

@Zoey Boey: Uniform.

@CryptDemon: Maybe try and give the weapon a bit more of an edge? You mention electricity, maybe it can weaponize that?

[CryptDemon]

@VitaVitaAR I added a little bit. Does this work?

[Pink Khione]

Do the new recruits have their weapons yet? Or are they given to them after their first day with the team?

[Raineh Daze]

@Pink Khione Going to be given them shortly.

Anastasia

Name: Anastasia Nikolovia Fujiwara
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Personality: "Chin up, Its not like the world has ended just yet." - Anasasia has a personality that at first glance conveys an upbeat foolish individual who doesn't know what she's talking about. Much too jovial and someone who doesn't seem like the type of girl you can confide in. She jokes about whatever scenario shes in, and speaks light in the most heinous of conditions, beaming a smile from ear to ear to try to brighten up every minute of the day. This is to hide a very cynical personality that holds some very polarising opinons on both sides.

Though she is a woman in her mid-twenties, She can be child-like in her actions and feelings, She dislikes having to follow a strict schedule and likes to sleep whenever she feels like it. However when push comes to shove, she will always take special effort to support those around her and will without fail try to find a solution to whatever problem lays ahead of those around her through her tinkering and her efforts.

Brief Backstory:
Someone who escaped from the blood farms during an incident where security was laxed. Though content with the way things were, her inborn drive to consume more knowledge lead her to step outside of her boundaries, that and dreams of the old world with all the wonderments it had. Though suspicion would have aroused on how she managed to escape without much of a blemish on her. She was held in the settlements jail until she could be properly assessed in case she was a spy or the like. Though she insisted she wasn't and even after being let free. Suspicion was still carried about who she was and what she did. The only reason she even rose so high within the R&D facility was the sheer measure of her skill at the art of engineering. Though no one in the settlement would ever consider placing her for a leader role. She was content with where she was. Fixing old-world goods or building old technologies from scratch. Though she can innovate, her innovations are not as widespread and game-changing as the head of the facility herself. But Really Anastasia is content to learn and grow her repitoire of knowledge and thus here she stayed, working in R&D, making explosives for the effort, or things to help with food supply in her off time. Hell, She even made a hard-candy machine out of spare parts.

Safe to say, The eccentric engineer is here to help!
Equipment:
Outside of the contents of her Crimson Arm, which vary dramatically from fire-arms to explosives to medical supplies to just scavenged junk. She commonly carries a small suite of tools on her person, standard tools one would expect to find on an engineer, from a screwdriver and assorted heads, to a wrench. All carried within pouch on her belt.
Skills:
Engineering: When it comes to the prospect of Engineering skill and the knowledge one would require to create and maintain any manner of mechanical item. Anastasia is near unparalled when it coems to conventional item, This stems as a result of both her studying, her incredible memory (able to memorise any blueprint or mechanical theory in record time) and her also prodigal knack for being able to jerryrig things together when resources are lacking though the latter is more of making ends meet then her preferred way of doing it.
Memorisation: As stated in her engineering skill, Anastasia possesses an incredible memory, capable of recalling blueprints from first viewing with incredible detail and precision, as well as being able to memorise entire textbooks worth of contents, meaning she is an amazing sponge for soaking up knowledge. She's also a pretty fast reader.
Planning: A girl who plans for everything, its not uncommon for her to have something up her sleeve stored within her crimson arm, She tries to tackle any scenario whenever it presents itself, with whatever she can get her hands on. Leading to some comments on her cautious nature.

Crimson Arm

Hallow Arsenal: A deviant Crimson arm that takes the form of a 4-point spiked halo, That hovers around the wielder and is controlled via a bracelet. The four spikes on the halo are sharpened, and the halo itself is capable of rotating of speeds comparable to a rotary saw.

The true power of this Crimson Arm stems from the 'Arsenal' it can provide once stocked. The Halo is capable of using the blood cartridges loaded into noticable on the inner ring of the halo to open gateways or "Blood Rifts" into a hammerspace or 'Vault' this vault, Items in this vault can fall under three catagories

"Retrieve" - They are stored normally and can be retrieved later.
"Artillery" The weapon can be pushed out of a rift and fired/launched in both semi automatic and fully automatic fashion. This only works on conventional weapons, meaning these weapons do not carry the vampire killing properties to truely put down a vampire, However they are great for providing large swaths of suppression fire, as the recoil of being hit by a bullet is enough to slow down anything. The weaponry stored within the Vault is not limited in size, and even full on artillery cannons can be stored. However all weapons still consume ammo, and in this post apocalyptic world it can be difficult to find the right ammo or more instances of the same weapon. Meaning the arsenal fluctates alot. But a fully 'opened' arsenal is a sight to see, even if it is unsustainable.
"Projectile" - A subsect of the Artillery designation instead of 'firing' the object, the object itself is fired with designated velocity. Useful for 'tossing' Grenades from storage or getting one last good use out of an empty fire arm, by throwing it at the enemy at high speed as solid steel projectile.

Late to the party, Fashionably mayhaps but never too late!

the secret albino is here

[VitaVitaAR]

@CryptDemon: Okay, this is a little nitpick, but the name of the weapon is just saying "Flash" in a Japanese accent. The second part I think is correct.

@1Charak2: Accepted.

[CryptDemon]

@VitaVitaAR what do you mean?

I could change the name to ‘Senkō bāsuto’ which is the separate parts of ‘flash’ and ‘burst’, but together they become ‘Furasshubāsuto’. Granted I have a very limited understanding of any amount of Japanese, so I could be completely wrong.

[VitaVitaAR]

@CryptDemon: If you're using Google Translate, that's because it struggles with conjunctions. I know it's a nitpick but I'd go for the first one and see if you can get a different translation for the second part, since that's also just "Burst" said with a Japanese accent.

It's not like a serious problem with your bio, it's just a bit of a nitpick. ^^;

[CryptDemon]

@VitaVitaAR ah, I see. Not google translate, just shoddy skills from an English to Japanese dictionary. So ‘Senkō’ to start and find the latter elsewhere? ‘Haretsu’ perhaps?

[VitaVitaAR]

@CryptDemon: I think that works? I'll admit my Japanese skills are extremely limited too.

[CryptDemon]

@VitaVitaAR Changed it. Is it alright now?

[VitaVitaAR]

@CryptDemon: Yep, you're good.

[CryptDemon]

Sweet.
