[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[LokiLeo789]

Can I do 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' for an opener?

@Prince of Seraphs

Hmm, that would be pretty cool to see. Lol. I'll make a bet with you.

@LokiLeo789

I'll put forth the golden fiddle.

KabenSaal

A fiddle of gold against you soul 'cause I think I'm better than you.

The said: "My names Johnny and it might be a sin, but I'll take your bet, your gonna regret."

"I'm the best there ever was!" ((I always preferred the Muppet version of that song, if only because I have no idea how that the producers ever got this past the censors.))

Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard. 'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals it hard. And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold, but if you lose the devil gets your soul.

[Lady Seraphina]

The devil opened up his case and he said "I'll start this show" and fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow and he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss and a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.

You do know that the original version of that Muppets act used the regular version of the song right? Muppets - The Devil went Down to Georgia

When the devil finished, Johnny said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son. "But sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done."

@Prince of Seraphs

Huh. Learn something new everyday. EDIT: Because I don't want to double post. I have come to the conclusion I took the Unsubtle's personality too far. This is not what a marine sounds like, not in such a calm environment as a classroom. What I wrote IC sounds like a 12 to 14 year old gamer trying to sound hardcore. I did think about changing what I wrote but then I got a far better idea. She is currently only a year old or so at best. Because it is a machine we are talking about years do not translate 1:1 but still, she's young. Now building a tank is neither simple nor cheap. Marcus had to cut corners somewhere so he built the Unsubtle in a chopshop in a run down corner of the kingdom. Remember that his 'family' did not really condone his activities and gave him marginal support at best. That is basically where she 'grew up' if you will. Next door to the shop there were a couple of bored pre teens playing the Remnant version of CoD, and that is really where she learned most of her languages from. Marcus is not exactly stellar at conversations even at things that don't usually talk back. Ergo all of these curses are just Unsubtle repeating stuff she heard with little to no regard for context or meaning. All she knows is that they're thing to say when you're angry... or scared. As a tank, she is pretty much okay with killing and violence, that is her purpose after all. However this ties back to the subplot I had about Marcus' family. Marcus got some praise in his early years before it was expected to kill at least one reisen before breakfast etcetera. Unsubtle does not have that positive base to work from. All she has ever known is people looking down on her or indifference. All this positive attention is completely new and smells like a ruse. Beacon is some strange new place full of bright lights and people getting close and complimenting her and poking around underneath the engine cover and whatnot. The whole experience is utterly terrifying to the poor thing. This fear plus the apex predator instincts result in her attacking in the only way she can at the moment, namely violent swearing. It is like a dog baring it's teeth and growling, or a cat raising it's hackles.

@Agent B52

Replace Devil and Johnny with Diamond and Träd and we have a subplot to buy

[Agent B52]

I'm too bloody tired to finish my post tonight, it just won't come out right. Even breaking it up by typing the OOC rant above didn't help, so I'll try again tomorrow.

[LokiLeo789]

Hmm, I think I know what song Geni gonna play. Will we be playing out own songs?

[Lugubrious]

Our first contest is officially done! Fantastic job, TentacleLord! Contest number two is underway. Check it out and earn yourselves some credits!

[Forsythe]

Oi, few things misunderstood prolly due to my poor wording, but nvm xD But what I think is that when you can die at initiation, dying anywhere else is not an issue for the school. Remnant is not Earth, it is a bloody, hostile environment where humans are a minority on a world that is out to kill them. They're probably looking at it in a different light imho. And come on another character creation so soon? That's it, I'm coming up with a short story contest xD

@Forsythe

I did say I was wanting to make the entire senior team, but I do have short story contests in planning as well. After this one I can insert one of those if you please.

HOTDOG!!! I also noticed that we know have piano players...one of them including Ivan. Yay!!!

Thing is while it might appear that anyone can die during initiation the grounds are closely monitored and controlled. They might have live and dangerous Grimm on the battlefield but they also have a senior staff of well trained hunters ready to step in when things get really bad. Being another world the staff doesn't really have a problem with the students getting extremely roughed up given the state of some people after the exam but they wouldn't actually let anyone die if it could at all be avoided. Also I have two questions regarding the contest, what is meant by Motif: Paper and when you say the character is the lancer of the team what does that mean in terms of combat?

[Forsythe]

1)they also have a senior staff of well trained hunters ready to step in when things get really bad 2)if it could at all be avoided

@Prince of Seraphs

1) Your source of that? Yes, they have been watching, but I didn't read or hear anything about them stepping in anywhere. 2) I didn't specify, maybe it couldn't have been. But as I said, nevermind, I will admit to this only being a character I was testing for something else and some of the pointers actually helped >_>

[Lady Seraphina]

Because the RWBY cast are all competent enough fighters that it has never been necessary but at the point where there might get killed by Grimm on a training exercise the staff would step in for instance, during RWBY's mission to the abandoned town the Professor let the kids do all the work against the regular Grimm but when the situation became dire he actually started to fight. Besides there not just going to sit at there monitors and watch people get slaughtered.

@LokiLeo789

Yes, this is sooth! However, for those who think Ivan needs to be taken down a peg or two(Sapphire comes to mind here), they will be glad to know that Ivan can't read sheet music.
