[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Lady Seraphina]

That is so not fair. Take me with you.

[harinezumikouken]

Oh, did I tell y'all that I'm gonna be cosplaying as Roman Torchwick at NYCC?

@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN

Cool. I cosplayed Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul and Shizuo Heiwajima from DRRR!!! one time o3o.

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

I have Friday and Sunday tickets. Need a Saturday ticket, though...friends are gonna try to see if they can get one, might try and find some....other source, if not.

I'll make sure to get pics, and share some when the time comes!

[Lugubrious]

I was told that I should post my character sheet here for approval, so hopefully I'm in the right place for that.

Clair Carnelian

Name: Clair Carnelian

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Weapon: A small, diamond-shaped shield that can fold out into a larger, more cumbersome shield (think riot shield). She used to have a proper offensive weapon but it was destroyed on a mission - she hasn't wanted a new one since then.

Specialty: Assassin/Gunslinger. Mostly Assassin but being able to borrow long-ranged weapons comes in handy from time to time.

Semblance: "Borrowing" - Even though she doesn't have a weapon of her own, her Semblance more than makes up for that: she can create copies of weapons that she's seen, made out of solid Dust. Typically the weapons that she "borrows" are limited to one of their transform states, though creating a transforming weapon is well within her capabilities (though it takes a higher toll on her body). These weapons are usually more brittle than their "real" counterparts, though they more or less have all of the properties and capabilities of their originals.

Personality: Because of an incident that occurred with her previous team, Clair chooses to keep her distance from her teammates outside of missions. As a result, she comes off as somewhat unapproachable. A natural introvert, she prefers her own company to the company of others - often times she'll sit around silently as her classmates or team members talk with each other. If approached, however, she is a decent conversationalist; if someone asks her about something that particularly interests her, she becomes much more animated and willing to speak. Aside from that, she prefers to limit small-talk with her peers. Her general demeanor has earned her the reputation of "cool upperclassman" by many of the younger students, but if complimented or paid extra attention too, she becomes very easily flustered.

If someone she cares about is in danger, stressed, or otherwise needs help, she will gladly put them before herself and make sacrifices to give them the care that they need. She understands that being overly selfless isn't always good for her, but as it's a part of her she seldom shows it's something that she often brushes off. She keeps few friends for long periods of time but those that she has she holds near and dear.

Color: Dark Red

Emblem: A light grey sword with a ghostly (read: transparent) copy behind and to the side of it, so the two are somewhat overlapping.

Appearance: Long, dark red hair, somewhat pale complexion, grey eyes. On the thinner side, but not too thin. A little shorter than average height. Her battle attire consists of slate grey cloth with light grey accents, and her greaves and gauntlets are simple steel-colored. She wears a light grey cloak with dark red accents, to match her hair. The two belts around her waist are black leather with steel-colored buckles.



(imagine this but colored in - this is a sketch that a friend of mine did a while ago for a planned RPG session that never came to fruition)

@Pannette

Sorry about my slowness on getting back to you! You've made a cool character, and she's accepted. Chat with Shadow some about how she might be able to introduce her new team member, and you're good to go!

@Forsythe

Oh whoops

[harinezumikouken]

Prepare your butts.

[Lugubrious]

And get your bodies ready

[Abillioncats]

Oh, I am so ready.

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

Oh SHIT, I gotta post.

Das mah bad, yo.

[Eklispe]

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

Also, Sapphire forgot the most important thing to do when being choked out- GO FOR THE SENSITIVE BITS! You got legs, lassy, use 'em! Tough as he is, I know few men who could shrug off a kick straight to the nards.

[HereComesTheSnow]

Depends on how the choke's being applied and what sort of choke it is.

[Lady Seraphina]

She's being pinned to the wall at an angle facing partly away from Pop, she doesn't have the right angle to kick him in the balls and besides as your brain becomes oxygen deprived logical thought takes a bow and goes for a smoke break. She was reacting out of pure instinct which said that her daggers were the best defense she had. And if she had actually had them they would have been.

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

True, actually. I forgot that a lot of chokes don't give you that freedom. I was thinking mainly about getting choked from the front or back, as opposed to by someone with actual training. Most of my knowledge on that comes from my half brother, who has a knack for getting into stupid fights.

[HereComesTheSnow]

I nearly started typing out what the right way to get out of that'd be but thankfully stopped myself

todays been too long

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

I still posit that a kick to the nards, successfully performed, will get you out of most shitty situations. Even just getting close is usually enough to trigger the "OH FUCK MY BALLS" reflex.

[HereComesTheSnow]

I'll just say it's not as all-powerful as you might think

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

Clearly you've dealt with tougher men than I. Or druggies. Was it druggies? I hope it wasn't druggies. My roommate fought a guy on LSD and won.

He had three broken ribs. That was winning.

[harinezumikouken]

Marine Corps has a few ways of breaking out of chokes.

@harinezumikouken

Please tell me they involve groin-kicks.

I know they don't, but lie and tell me they do.
