[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Lugubrious]

@Lugubrious

For the sake of saying it, though I don't know if it's relevant/matters at all that is also exactly Bianca's semblance.

Semblance

L’appel du Vide – Bianca’s semblance is one of attraction and repulsion. She is able to repel or attract things towards or away from a desired location. An example of this semblance is when she is fighting she can repel an enemy’s sword from her own and follow through with a strike that will go unblocked. Bianca’s semblance however has a few quirks and limitations however.

The first limitation is the less something is moving, the easier it is to affect. An example of this is when she hovers above the ground she isn’t using her wings as much as she is repelling her own body from the ground. Because the ground will not move, she finds it incredibly easy to repel herself from it. It should be known that Bianca is able to send out a wave of attraction or repulsion in any direction or in a wide area, but it is considerably less powerful when compared to targeting one specific person or object.

The first quirk this semblance has is that smaller objects are easier to push and pull whereas larger objects are more difficult. This also ties hand in hand with the second quirk in which objects that want to be moves are much easier. For example it is much more difficult to redirect a sword swing then it is to make someone move faster (who wants to of course).

The second limitation of Bianca’s semblance is that while she does find it easy to use her semblance from a distance, maintaining more than two attraction or repulsion fields is unrealistic. It would take up a great deal of energy and leave her exhausted and unable to battle.

The final quirk is L’appel du Vide’s interactions with dust.

She isn’t yet able to use dust to affect her attraction abilities but her repulsion fields will gain an element when using the corresponding type of dust. For example, using wind dust will cause her repulsion waves to create a large gust of wind, water dust would create a mid-sized wave and so forth.

@Write

Thank you for bringing it up, but fortunately, since Bianca isn't your player character, it is irrelevant.

@Lugubrious

Yeah again didn't think it mattered, just thought I'd throw it out there.

[Lazo]

@WriteThey do seem fairly similar. My character's was localized to her body and only worked on things close to her, though, and dust was not supposed to do anything. Still, they do seem to essentially be the same thing.

I'm going to edit her into my earlier post in the character sheet section (oops) and if it comes to that I can change details, or the whole character. Double checking, should I change her name?

And before I forget, hey there everyone. Looking forward to RPing with you. Though it looks like the new character's team is currently on a mission, so I'm not sure when it would be a good time to start posting.

@Lazo

No worries whatsoever, if it seems like I was insinuating something that was not my intentions. Looking forward to Rping with you as well :)

@Lazo

Hello new meat shield team member, it's good to have you. We are on a mission so you can ask @Lucius Cypher, our mission antagonist, if there's any way he can include you yet.

[Lucius Cypher]

Well, I was thinking air dropping. Get into the fort and report what happened and I'll have her air drop asap. But if you want something that makes more since in-character, we'll need to chat.

[harinezumikouken]

Oh gods, I just read @Lazo's CS.

Sand needs to stay away from Shiro.

[Lucius Cypher]

I also read @Lazo's CS and I think she and Gren should meet. She uses her semblance almost the same way as Gren's does, though he's range is limited through a serious of physical contact and has less of a notable particle effect. Also her weapons are called Orc Fists, which is what Gren has, what with being an orc with fists.

@Lazo

Honestly, unless everyone is wanting to keep the current name (or have on in mind that has an RG and T) there's no real reason to change it.

@Lucius Cypher

Maybe she could been held back as backup for some reason? Not sure. I was going to read through the fort posts later today and see the options, but it might just be better to wait for the mission to be over and introduce Sand as a replacement for the late teammate.

@Lucius Cypher

So many character sheets I should read >_>

[chukklehed]

Maybe she's a wandering fort enthusiast?

[Lazo]

@Lucius Cypher Okay, could you tell me a bit about the 'Capture the Fort' mission and what's happened so far? I read through the last posts and, as I understand it, it was a Grimm extermination mission that got waylaid by group of Beowolves on the way there. Can I ask where the fort is, or if there were going to be stops in the way? I don't particularly like the idea of having my character show up in front of everyone because she happened to be out for a random stroll through monster-infested woods.

@harinezumikouken I just read Shiro's CS and I approve wholeheartedly of anything with a Charge Axe. Though now I'm wondering if I can work any bad Palico puns into any conversation with him. Why shouldn't they meet, though? Nothing jumped out at me when I read the CS.

[Lucius Cypher]

@Lazo

The Hunter Outer Post Jeager had been lost some time ago due to a massive swarm of Grimm, everything from a tide of beowolves to a unusually organized army of Harpies, with everything outside and in between. Fortunately there has been a break in the grimm's occupancy and they are at their all time lowest, and do not seem interested in maintaining control over the fort. Thus Team Redingote task will be to eliminate all the Grimm currently occupying Outpost Jeager as quickly as possible. Beacon cannot afford to send additional assistance to this distant outpost: They suspect that more Grimm will arrive if a full force approaches, resulting in a blood bath that will drain more resources than necessary. Thus, they trust in Team Redingote's ability to be a force of destruction and purify the fort of it's grimm blight.

The specific location of Fort Jeager is on the northern Coast between Vale and Atlas. It was formally suppose to serve as a waypoint, but than a army of grimm overran it before the Hunters could construct additional forts to supplement it. Even now hunters have already built other Waypoints that Fort Jeager was suppose to serve as, and has largely be left alone due to the concentration of grimm that's normally there. THAT BEING SAID!

There are secrets to Fort Jeager that I was going to reveal when the team arrived. Perhaps your character is privy to these ideas, and wishes to work alongside the young hunters to discern the truth. What say you?

[Lazo]

@Lucius Cypher Sounds interesting. If you don't mind spoiling me a bit, should we talk over PM?

@Prince of Seraphs - Want to add your piece? Just think of hyperactive goofball. That should explain Shiro mostly.

Why @Lazo's character should stay away from Shiro if everyone wants to remain sane and happy.

[Lazo]

Sand's first post is up. Collab with Lucius for the purpose of fort details and descriptions.

Essentially, she arrived first, and just finished looking around the outside of the abandoned fort. Right now, she would be sitting in some hiding spot near the outpost trying to figure out a good way to get in without getting killed by all the Grimm. Once the other characters finish up with their encounter, they could meet up with her.

[Lucius Cypher]

Yes. Collab. That's what we did. And she totally did not just stick my name into the header of her post so she could describe the layout of the fortress for her convince. No sir not at all.

I'll have a big post for all my missions up tomorrow.

My saltometer must be busted, I can't get a good reading from this comment....
