So, if I am correct, here is the breakdown so far. Allow me to continue using the character archetypes; please tell me if you envisioned your character otherwise, or if I missed any planned partnerships.

Team A (COMPLETED): Beliya (Ranged ADC), Ineko (Burst Mage), Bruce (CC Tank), Gideon (Brawler)
Team B (so far): Abel (Damage tank), Chris (Assassin)
Team C (so far): Gren (Burst Mage*), Serera (Sustain mage)
Let GM decide: Tai (Warrior)
Looking for teammates: Robert (Hunter), Blake (True tank), Yael (Assassin w/ mobility focus), Priscilla (Dual ranged/melee ADC), Trico** (Dual ranged/melee assassin), Oliver (Dual ranged/melee ADC), Atlas (Warrior) and if accepted, Kuhaku (Warrior w/ illusionary focus)

Notes-
*Gren was hard because he's so versatile, but since he doesn't have a defensive focus as far as I can see and can dish out tons of damage very quickly I labeled him such.
**I also didn't include the all-girl team Kal really wants because I still don't know if it's serious, but Yael, Priscilla, Trico, and Serera would be the only option at this point and Serera already has a definite partner.
Interesting to note that we don't really have anyone that fits into the support role outside of tanks. No healers or boosters, really.

Sounds about right. I was thinking something of a Might Glacier/Berserker in that he has a decent amount of defense and a wide variety of attack options, but little in the way of mobility and doesn't have any dedicated defensive techniques; just his innate toughness, armor, and putting The God Eater between him and whatever wish to do him harm. For this reason his fighting style is fairly berserker; just go into the fray as fast as he can and take everything down before he does. He can think for actual tactics of course, with a high burst capability and DPS, he could serve as the cannon or damage dealer for any party.

Using his Semblance, he can do a bit of tanking too, not because he's tougher but because he can crowd control his enemies to stay near him or at least get slowed down, while also using his Semblance to prevent himself from falling or getting moved around.

And of course, this being the RWBY universe, Gren can just give reality the middle finger and use The God Eater as means of mobility. Either use the Terror Form of his weapon to create something akin to a unicycle that can move in a single direction and even up walls, or ride the sheer recoil from the Destroyer Form into a deadly improvised jet pack. Except replace jets with bullets. Lots and lots of bullets. Good for getting him to point A to B (Or into the fray of a fight) but either methods aren't very good for delicate maneuvering. Here's an illustration of how the Destroyer Form would look like, but with a less aerodynamic design and like, ten thousand more bullets.

He makes me proud.

Wow. Tyrant Gm.

Because, you know, me actually enforcing rules is tyrannical.
PS, No castrating or neutering is now a rule.

Good Lord that's an incredible thing to picture.

[Lucius Cypher]

The only problem is that neither mode of transportation can be controlled very well. Or rather, the Terror Form can only move in a single direction and has to jump and stop to change directions, while in the Destroyer Form all Gren can do is aim himself in the general direction of the enemy and attempt to glide/jump using the recoiling of his weapon. And like the Terror form, he'd have to use carefully measured stop/go movements if he wants to change direction or not crash into something (Unless that's the intent). And of course, he can always rely on rocket jumping if he only needs to vault himself to a position he can't climb (Which is very little thanks to his Friction Semblance).

One of his more favorite ambush tactics is to attack from the ceiling above his enemy.

[AliceZaru]

Serara is more of an Aerial attacker.

Giving her 'boomerang' like fans too distract the enemy while she falls onto there face and if they do dodge dashing at the with there sword she would rather turn and dodge with her fans open this turning again and striking from the otherside while the opponent is focused on her other fan. Xp

So many grammar mistakes.

[harinezumikouken]

I like to think about Kuhaku as a Jack of All Trades who relies on tactics, adaptability and skill to win his fights without having to fall back onto raw, brute strength but with that option hidden and there if needed. His illusionary skills can be used on both enemies and allies to serve a defense/support role.

But yes, Kuhaku still needs a team to be formed up or decided for him. I'm sure Kuhaku can easily fit into any team with no problems.

Ahh dun remind meeee

Emily is more....

So, when I'm able to join the RP, am I expected to have read and caught up in IC or will I be able to somehow just jump Kuhaku in?

For the most part, it'll be pretty simple to just jump in.
Also, Uh...bad news for a couple of you (at least until I move us to the test) Wong is out for the week, and Schnabel is out for an undisclosed amount of time. They're still going to be in, but just letting you guys know that they're gone for a bit.

[harinezumikouken]

Will that affect the queue at all?

[The Irish Tree]

harinezumikouken said

Nope, since they'll both be returning. Just means that they'll be autopilot partnering up in the test, and I have to interrupt y'alls tea session with Gideon to start the test. Which will come later, or even possibly tomorrow, since I gobba go to a family gathering.

[Lugubrious]

Anything to get me out of this interaction bind with Paige, who seems to be absent.

[KabenSaal]

Yea, Paige has dissapeared. It sucks.

[OldManWong]

I'll actually probably be able to cheat my way onto a device to do something in the means of a post over the next week. Though I'm banned from my computer, for the most part.

[Galgarion]

Maybe I'm just really bad at this (being somewhat new and all) but I am having a really hard time finding pics for my char.
