[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Lady Seraphina]

@NarayanK Is he Sangue's father or boyfriend?

[HereComesTheSnow]

>33

dude

[Crimmy]

Technically he does fall within the "your-age-minus-seven-times-two" rule, given that Sangue's ... 20.

Huh, she's older than I thought.

Although, he's probably more her dad figure.

@Crimmy

Sangue's twenty? Why is she still in her first year of high school?

[HereComesTheSnow]

it's college dude

[Abillioncats]

Yeah Beacon is the equivalent of a college for hunters and huntresses as far as I know.

[Lucius Cypher]

Ye, seventeen may be young, but that's old by highschool standards. Plus ya know, Remant =/= real world, so what a highschool for us might not be what a highschool of them would be. I mean, Yang isn't 21 but she got served drinks and access to a club, and that was before she started punching people. Plus we got government sanctioned child soldiers out the wazoo.

[Krayzikk]

Ruby was fifteen and in Signal. She skipped a couple years to be allowed in Beacon. Everyone else is ~17.

It doesn't line up perfectly, but Beacon is definitely college rather than high school.

@Prince of Seraphs

Have you missed everything re: Sangue's backstory in the IC and Character tabs so far, or have you just ignored it? For someone raised outside all four kingdoms - and most of civilization in general - for her whole life, it's perfectly plausible.

I don't even need to tackle the age thing 'cause everyone else did it above me.

Wait Beacon isn't elementary school???

@Prince of Seraphs

He's unrelated by blood! But he serves as a fatherly/mentorly figure... if I could even call it that >.>

@Prince of Seraphs

She learned how to fit into society up to a minimum level by then (ie. speaking, learning about how schools work, etc)! And it wouldn't make sense if she just jumped up the years without having the mindset of a second/third year huntress would. She's noticeably older than others but her mind is very primitive due to her background of being raised by a really weird guy.

And yes, I kind of treated Beacon as a college rather than high school. And colleges can have very old first years from what I know, even if it's not too common to see xD

@HereComesTheSnow

Sangue finally has something she can beat Luke in!
_{she's just super slow at counting in class, that's all}

@Lucius Cypher

Point of fact 21 is not even close to a standardized drinking age or age of concession. 18 or 19 is usually more common with some countries having it as low as 16. Yang's old enough to be of drinking age in the majority countries round the world. It's not a valid comparison.

On that note though I went looking for a previous discussion I thought was about Beacon being high school not university, found it but it was the other way around. My mistake.

When I originally created Sarina, I based Beacon on a high school level (in RWBY, I thought the schools were comparable to RL high schools) and I wanted to RP as a senior so I made her 18 and as a top ranking student. Later on the general consensus I believe was that the academies were more like universities so with that I also had to go off with the fact she was a prodigal child which also entirely changed the background of the original Sarina in mind retconning the the few background info (which I have to find) I put out such as before the inclusion of Vega into the RP. Those few could be considered non-canonical.

Have you missed everything re: Sangue's backstory in the IC and Character tabs so far, or have you just ignored it? For someone raised outside all four kingdoms - and most of civilization in general - for her whole life, it's perfectly plausible.

@Plank Sinatra

My most sincere apologies for having a real life that prevents me from keeping up with 36 different CSes and 2265 IC posts only a fraction of which impact anything I will ever do in this RP. If it's relevant to my character I will read it, if not I don't have the time to spare.

@Lucius Cypher While on the topic your character, Prince brings up a very good point. Exactly what is Gren's weakness? He has the most firepower out of any character in this RP, potentially, as well as state-of-the-art armor, aura defense despite having next to no organic parts in his body, a semblance that is capable of crippling anyone's movement, and numerous other benefits.

@Lugubrious

@Lucius Cypher While I was looking for the discussion above I found this. Other than making a concession where EMPs were concerned you never really answered the question. Was wondering if you could elaborate.

[NaraK]

@Prince of Seraphs We all have real life to attend to, so it's completely understandable that some aspects of Sangue could be a bit confusing to some! It's no biggie if you have questions. :D

With the rough drafts for Sangue's origin comic completed, I've begun production of the line art! Starting with the cover. xD

[NaraK]

Here's a screenshot of the cover art being worked on!

@HereComesTheSnow

>wanting light up shoes
>not heelies

"You're a dweeb, Schwarz."

"Not all of us try to run from our feelies on our heelies, Gratia."

@Prince of Seraphs

Decapitation and being riddled with bullets. Being impaled by giant spikes would also kill him. Crushing him with a giant rock might work too, if it's heavy enough.

If you're looking for his kyrptonite, then aside from EMP's I've never made one up because he was never immune to traditional methods in the first place. He's just more capable of handling it then most others. If you can stick a knife between his armor and hit his heart, where that little machine that makes/maintain his aura is at, then that would kill him too. But I'm sure if you stuck a knife into everyone's heart, that'll kill them. It's one of the reasons he wears armor.

But I'm sure that's exactly what you're asking for. You want the exhaust port to his metaphorical Death Star. But perhaps I'm wrong, so clarify for me, where do you want Gren's weakness to be?
