[OOC] RWBY

[Weiss Schnee]

Roman Torchwick was forced to retreat after a failed assult on the Schnee Dust supply. It has been a few months sience the assult and now it is time for the big event..the Vale Tournament! Hunter's and Huntress's from all over Remnent have gathered here to hone thier skills in battle. However in the mists of the grand event something more sinister is afoot as all is not as it seems during this peaceful and exciting time...

As explained this will be a rp revolving around the tournament. There will be matchups which will be randomized. I will probably be basing this on a actual tornament which means there will be semifinals and a final round. This is not a arena style rp and there is something else planned in the mists of this event.

Cannon roles are avaliable. Just request and you may have the cannon you are interested in.

Rules:
No powerplaying Godmodding etc as everyone should know the basic xd
Treat fellow rpers with respect
Keep all content involving romance at a reasonable level. Anything above pg13 fade to black, timeskip, or PMs
No oped characters. This includes semblances
If you are eliminated from a round you cannot rebattle
No killing anyone as this is not a life or death tournament
Try to post at least once a day. Refrain from speed posting so eveyone can be up to date and get in on the action. Wait for everyone else to have a turn before posting again
No arguing in the IC..any concerns take them to Pms or OOC.
There is no character limit
This is Free Casual so I can accept anything under a paragraph. One liners are fine on occasion as well

Name: Baylie Haloway
Nickname: N/a
Color: Blue
Appearence:
Personality: Rowdy and tomboyish, just very enthusiastic to battle it out.
History: Due to unmentioned circumstances, Baylie was separated from her sister Lilith, and was completely enthusiastic about training to be a Huntress. So one day, if Baylie would find Lilith again, she could show to her what she had been doing in the past years of their separation. When they do reunite, Baylie realizes that Lilith was lonely and bullied for her "weakness", and vows to keep an eye out for Lilith no matter what.
Weapon: The Heliotropium, which is a DCGS (Dust Charged Gun Spear) that uses Red and Blue Dust.
Semblance: Baylie's Semblance is her strength, doubling her power drastically, and this is signaled by her eye color changing vibrant blue. Yet, this comes with drawbacks, making her slower than average. Any enemy faster than her could take advantage of this.
Team: (once this is figured out)
Other: She is the twin sister of Lilith Haloway.

Name: Lilith Haloway
Nickname: Lily
Color: Purple
Appearence:
Personality: Smart and decisive. Doesn't like fighting much, but will when it is necessary. She is a little of a clean freak, and loves to do anything that would "exercise" her knowledge.
History: After their strange separation during their childhood, Lilith would always surround herself with books, that told either fiction or non-fiction. Apparently, the other kids that saw her everyday at Signal wondered why she was even here if she didn't like fighting, and constantly harrassed her for her difference. So when Lilith reunites with Baylie some time before the tournament, she is grateful to see someone that she could definitely relate to, and was surprised when Baylie swears not to let Lilith get pushed around like that.
Weapon: The Amethyst Stagger, a NHRB (Nodachi Hybrid Ranged Bow). It uses Red, Blue, White, Yellow, and Purple Dust.
Semblance: Lilith's Semblance is advanced sight and perception, trumping up her accuracy when firing and seeing the outcome of an attack before hand. The limit of her perception is by 10 seconds, which somewhat helps Lilith think of a solution or a certain attack when stuck. Her eyes turn light violet when her Semblance activates, but the drawback of this Semblance is that she feels a strain in her head, forcing her to stop her Semblance usage.
Team: (once this is figured out)
Other: She is the twin sister of Baylie Haloway.

---

Well, I have yet to draw their appearances since I couldn't find any pictures that would fit them. Also, Baylie and Lilith are meant to be in the same team, you can't separate the twinsies! xD Baylie is more of an aggressive attacker that is slow and hard to take down, while Lilith is the strategist that thinks of ways to take down enemies without getting herself stuck in the fight as she is physically weak.

[Weiss Schnee]

Looks good so far. Accepted. And it is good you balanced out thier semblances with a weakness.

[smarty0114]

I'll post my CS tonight.

[FateWeaver]

Will put a CS here later

Sorry, I can't come up with anything I like.

[Weiss Schnee]

alright guys you are reserved.

Also I have a coGM...Laxnyd

[Fuzzy-mellon-lord]

Name: Scarlet Vogel
Nickname: Scar
Color: Scarlet Red
Apperence:
Personality: While Scarlet doesn't really like humans she won't flat out express her hatred unless someone is rude to her or another Faunus. She is very hot tempered and determined in her goals. Scarlet can be rather motherly in nature to people she believes needs her help, but because of her usual rude, rough nature no one would really expect it from her. Don't mind fighting dirty, she will do what she needs to do to accomplish her goals
History: Scarlet is the eldest of the Vogel children, which is a family very involved in the White Fang. When Scarlet was 7 her father was killed by a human, rooting her hatred. That was the year she joined the white fang. When the White Fang began to grow more violent Scarlet's mother sent her to learn to fight under the guise of wanting to be a huntress (When asked Scarlet will say that she wants to be a huntress because what human would want to protect the Faunis) when in actuality her mother wanted Scarlet to become a spy
Weopon: Chakrams and hand bombs
Semblance: Scarlet's Semblance is the ability to manipulate the wind (ex. making the wind blow as strong as it would in a hurricane), without it affecting her. The drawback is that her Semblance makes her go berserk so she isn't as controlled as she should be.
Team: (once this is figured out)
Other: She is a bird Faunus, so she has wings. She cut holes in the back of her uniforms so her wings could go through.

[Weiss Schnee]

accepted.

However I would like some brief history in your bios. It is ok to rp it out but perhaps a brief history will work.

[Fuzzy-mellon-lord]

oh okay, wekk I edited mine and it now has Scarlet's history

[smarty0114]

Name:John Pender
Nickname:Pendragon
Color:Gold
Apperence: (pictures are accepted)
Personality:John is the golden boy (no pun intended). He's loyal, friendly, and despises bullies and villains. He's not so much book smart as he is street smarts which is evident in his fighting. His loyalty can be a burden however, seeing as he's been known to run off to help a friend with just the tiniest shred of evidence that their in danger.
History:John father, Arthur Pender, is the owner of a weapons manufacturing company in Vale. As such, John has grown up quite privileged. However, his father made sure he grew up to be a spitting image of his father. He had trainers with his son from the age of 8. It drove a wedge between John and his father and to this day the tension between them is still very noticeable.
Weopon:Caliburn, a sword that transforms into a crossbow that utilizes red dust.
Semblance:John's semblance is the power to control fire. However, when he's using his power he becomes far more vulnerable to heat and fire itself, making it pertinent that he direct the flames he utilizes away from him.

[LaXnyd]

Name: Gerald Tarius

Nickname: N/A

Color: Grey

Appearance:

Personality: Gerald is a pragmatist who has one simple code: He will do anything to maintain his status quo of freedom and standard of living. Helping anyone or anything takes a back seat to that and he will only go out to help someone if it does not threaten him - or his team - first. He has knowledge of living and making one's way on the streets due to his past, and he is quick to come to suspicion on any new information - naive people didn't last long where he came from. Normally, Gerald will express discomfort and uneasiness at his surroundings, not used to the clean atmosphere of Beacon, but despite his discomfort he still puts on a playful mood to make the best of his situation.

History: Gerald didn't have that smooth of a start to his life - he was born in the slums, raised by a working girl who only saved him out of the goodness of her heart. She tried to save up what meager money she could to send Gerald away from the slums and enrol him into Signal, but she died when Gerald was 10. Investigating her death, Gerald finally fell to the low of involving himself in the criminal underground, associating with the likes of Roman Torchwick. At this point, Gerald considered the possibility of becoming a hunter nothing more than a childish dream, and he immersed himself in the day-to-day needs. The criminal bosses soon granted him Anwarter and Schnellfeur, two weapons which he dislikes using. Although his weapons are lethal, he only used them to intimidate - the only person he ever killed was the man who killed his surrogate mother.

At the age of 16, he was captured and arrested during a raid by the authorities. Taken to the law to be tried, Gerald's juvenile status and his criminal upbringing prompted the judge to hand Gerald down a sentence: Because of the prowess he had demonstrated during his criminal activities, Gerald was to be sent to Beacon to train as a hunter and hopefully turn his life around - and after all, Beacon was home to some of the best hunters and huntresses in the land. It was much more secure a place to hold him than any normal prison.

Weapons:

Anwarter: a handheld gun that looks abnormally large, it utilizes two types of ammunition: Red dust, which causes an explosion at the target, and Blue dust, which when fired forms a bayonet of ice and serves as his close range weapon. The bullets are stored in a revolver-style chamber that holds 6 rounds, and Gerald utilizes a Russian Roulette style of combat with his weapon, always mixing up the order of bullets he loads Anwarter in so that only he knows whether or not the next shot will fire an explosion or a close range weapon for him to use. Blue dust bayonets are dispelled with his next shot.

SchnellFeur: A smaller handheld gun which, unlike Anwarter is rapid firing. ShnellFeur only uses a single type of dust as ammunition and serves as Gerald's general weapon, used to suppress and/or eliminate lightly armoured enemies.

Semblance: His semblance is a form of instinct - when his semblance is activated, he can see two different worlds - one is the normal world, and the other is the world 0.5 seconds to the future. This is a combat semblance he uses to predict his enemy's movements and counter with his own. It should be noted that this semblance does not help Gerald gain any special edge but is a "catch-up" semblance to make him capable of fighting on par with hunters despite his own lack of formal training.

Team: (once this is figured out)

Other: None.

[Drakeonis]

Have mine up hopefully sometime today.

[Weiss Schnee]

alright no worries.

[Jinxlynx]

I am going to make a character for this, I ran a RWBY rp a while back before RPG got the update to a new server but mine was more focused on story, I like this one cause it has a focus on combat.

[Jinxlynx]

Name: Helena Dragic

Nickname: Lena

Color: Purple

Appearance:

Personality: She has a calculating mind, reading others actions before making her own she likes to have the full story and as much information on her opponent as possible so that she can read their movements before hand.

History: Her father is a Sergeant in the Vale Police force, an only child she was pushed by her father to follow him and join the VPD, attending Signal Academy for her training, but her teacher focused her more towards moving on the be a Huntress when she showed potential.

Weapon: Beam Wing; A dueling sword and crossbow, it has two forms but multiple uses, unsheathed the blade is a regular sword relying on Lena's strength to make slashing attacks and block her enemies blows, the sheath however is a solid form, held in a reverse grip she can use it to block and also make blunt blows, often using her forearm to re-enforce the strength of her blocks. when re-sheathed though she can activated the weapons secondary form, a crossbow that folds out from the sheath using the swords hilt as the grip. She carries a quiver of arrows on her belt, each tipped with a different form of dust, when the trigger is held down the weapon and charge the force of the shot to a certain point to add more penetration to the arrow when it hits the target. Stored away it sits on her left hip opposite of her arrow quiver.

Semblance: Lena has a passive Empathy for the aura of others, allowing her to "feel" their presence and movements, seeing them as (in her own words) "ripples on a pond". The true potential of her power is revealed when she allows herself to go into a trace like state, keeping her eyes closed she can no longer see the physical world around her but is allowed to see the aura of others seen as a colored mist in the shape of their body. The color that she sees is personal to each persons aura, for example her own is purple.

Team: To be Assigned

Other: The Beam Wing is is modeled after a sword style known as the "Backsword", it is a single edged blade with a triangular tip, it has been sharpened on the tip to allow for thrust attacks so she is not limited to slashing with the blade, the flat edge lets her make sharp blunt blows that can incapacitate an opponent by only breaking limbs. the weapon forgoes a proper guard in favor of a simple cross guard to allow her to switch hands in combat, she does however wear a metal gauntlet on her dominate hand for protection.
