[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Forsythe]

Come to think of it, does Cinder even exist here? Do we want her to? :D

[harinezumikouken]

@Lucius Cypher -

[Lucius Cypher]

@Forsythe

She probs exists, but like the original cast of Team RWBY we probs don't really interact with them. Like, I'm pretty sure we won't get to fight any of them in the finals or whatever, though we're following the timeline. Maybe when the White Fang attack Vale with the Grimm our peeps can be there to help with damage control or something.

[HereComesTheSnow]

The cast would really throw the entirety of S3 off the rails

even at the most basic level a walking medpack changes the game completely if he's in play anywhere

[Forsythe]

Yeah, we're still far enough from the 'siege' to decide whether we actually want to follow canon that far, since that story is not even the focus of this RP and some don't like where that story went in the first place *shrug*

[Lucius Cypher]

I kinda was hoping we could potentially play out the Fall of Beacon and see where we go from there. I could imagine Gren having to flee with his family as he realized that the White Fang has grown stronger then he could realize, that there are some Grimm he can't take down (Like Kevin the Dragon) and perhaps tensions between him and Sapphire finally coming to its climax and Gren choosing to abandon her, taking the rest of the team and his friends with him.

[harinezumikouken]

@Lucius Cypher - Y'know, if this ever got that far to the canon

I'd think Shiro would abandon like, everyone.

I don't know why.

But I'd feel Shiro would leave and go solo for a while.

Especially depending on if his subplot has been completed by that time and the certain interactions with certain students change him.

[Lucius Cypher]

Fo sho, if it ever comes to that time in sure everyone would have to split. Gren's gotta take care of his folks, Sappy pulls a schnee, Shiro does a Blake, and Abel goes on a roaring rampage of revenge after Krystane goes into a coma from the trauma of the Fall of Beacon. Then we'll reunite to take back Vale from the Heartless Darkness!

That's the name of the dragon Grimm I just made up since Kevin is too scary for most children.

[SevenStormStyle]

The problem I have with implementing the fall of Beacon is that it disrupts the characters' reasons for interacting. It may be fun to watch Weiss get shipped off to her family in an online animation, but that wouldn't exactly be fun as a player to just interact with NPC's all the time.

[Lugubrious]

@Lugubrious has yet to say anything about my possible return to the Rp. Just looking for his thoughts on things before I just start stuffing myself in here.
But if my boi is given a go ahead, ya everyone would know of his affiliation. His return is gonna be a controversial one I guess.

@LokiLeo789

Well, you wouldn't be the first person to leave and come back. Since I'm considering breaking the rule for Asuras, whose character is currently under review, I might as well consider Geni as well. Please send me a PM with his updated CS as well as a restatement of what he's been doing during the two weeks of his absence.

[Lady Seraphina]

Geni to keep quite about their former affiliations, less a spy or something catches wind and takes them out. Or for someone to sell them out.

@Lucius Cypher

Too late.

@Lugubrious

@Prince of Seraphs @Lugubrious

Heres Geni's updated CS, this is all I really wanted to do with it, added and new weapon and changed the Semblance, which I'm still skeptical about.

Apex Predator: A weapon forged in the aftermath of his most recent altercation with a student during his two week suspension. During this time, Geni chose to shed much of what reminded him of his past, which involved abandoning his beloved Ragnorok, and called for a new weapon, a new beginning. This was found in the creation of Apex Predator, a twin axeknife set capable of being infusing with dust, causing all kinds of devastating after affects; such as burning and freezing.

_{S P E C I A L T Y}

Geni's fighting style hasn't changed all that much in 2 weeks, as he still prefers his acrobatic and flexibility display when fighting an opponent; but with this new weapon in hand, he finds himself having to adjust his style a bit more. Suddenly, he is capable of ripping through material defenses with his axes and the tip of his knife. Although he is far more skilled at dodging attacks, his newfound strength gives him the option of fighting straight through them, parrying techniques that would otherwise have been impossible for him to withstand with his old weapon. From and acrobatic rouge, Geni is slowly shifting into the role of a guerilla brawler; setting ambushes, using the element of surprise, and using his extraordinary mobility to harass the enemy, striking vulnerable points before fighting the enemy head on.

_{S E M B L A N C E}

Lion King: Based on his current mental standing, Geni can summon one of two lions to the field of battle, one white colored if he's mentally stable, the other black if he's not. Twice as large as a normal lion, these animals have skin so tough that bullets struggle penetrate it, and sport claws as strong as steel. These felines follow Geni's every mental order and are connected to him on an other worldly level, capable of fighting along side him at anytime. Like any other lion, thier sense of smell, sight and hearing make them impeccable trackers and hunters; but his mental standing, is what makes them so different. While they share the same characteristics such as immense strength and speed, armored hide and powerful claws, thier fighting style differs. While with White Lion will nip and claw, assisting Geni, the Black Lion is a ferocious predator, doing anything to rips its enemy apart.

But this Semblance is not without its drawbacks. These lions are difficult to maintain over long periods of time, especially the Black Lion; at most, Geni can maintain a summon for no more than 30 minutes before complete Aura depletion.

On the surface, Geni comes off as a rather silly and lighthearted person, frequently engaging in comical behavior and retaining his oft-present grin. He displays a childlike amusement for new situations whether or not they prove adverse or even potentially fatal, he has a penchant for wandering off on his own. Even with all these idiosyncrasies, Geni is extremely personable and has a particularly complimentary nature that easily gains him the friendship and trust of those surrounding him through his actions.

Of course, these aspects hide the complex and determined young man underneath. On the reverse side of his frivolous nature is his considerable shrewdness, which makes him quite capable of reading people and situations. Being singularly ambitious, Geni also has a remarkably tenacious will that allows him to overcome virtually insurmountable obstacles and accept inhuman burdens for the sake of his own goals. Geni has a considerable pride that will not stand for having his humanity insulted or condemned by his enemies, but he is also capable of shelving his pride if it becomes something that will stand in the way of his objective.

Geni is very protective of family and comrades, refusing to allow any harm to come to them and often deem their safety more important than his own in spite of his own personal ambitions and goals. He has to be reminded several times that his own safety is something upon which many people depend and he uses his loved ones as his primary motivation when all hope seems lost. As such, he becomes furious when observing those who willingly or remorselessly cast aside their own comrades or brethren and is sickened by the idea of superiors who reject their duty to those who trust them.

But Geni is not just a two-dimensional being with personal struggles, he battles with mental demons that plague him day and night. At times, Geni may seem like a totally different person; a scared veteran. This darker side of Geni stands as an inquisitive, apathetic observer most of the time, assessing people and situations while throwing out morality and the concept of grey areas as contaminating factors. Driven by such mindsets as "survival of the fittest" and "to the victor go the spoils", this Geni takes great pleasure in determining whether the will and/or strength of one person or party is capable of overpowering those of another and genuinely respects people of strong will and unshakable conviction, but cares little to nothing for the lives that are affected or even lost as a consequence of the conflicts that arise due to his actions. Even his own life is accountable to his unconventional ideals and he is only too glad to put his existence on the line.

@LokiLeo789

If you could also PM some basic history information that would be much appreciated.

<Snipped quote by Lucius Cypher>

Grane's gone. Also Skye's was White Dang? What's the story there? And I feel I should mention that Geni's White Fang association is likely common knowledge at this point. Half the junior year found out about it in armoury class and you can assume the gossip mill would fill the other half in (and possibly the other years).

@Prince of Seraphs

Skyra left the White Fang pretty early on. Even before they radicalized. Her parents were killed by racist humans who burned down her village when she was like 2 or so. She then got adopted by somebody in the higher echelons of the new White Fang, who ended up leaving the Fang due to fights with some other leaders, so she and her new family moved to a more remote area founding their own, small, separate rights group, which then transformed into a group actually fighting the White Fang, after it became radical a few months later, which is where Skyra learned to fight.

<Snipped quote by RWBY Wiki>

Should Skyra, Grane, Gren and Geni be worried about this?

@PyroDash888@Nytem4re@Lucius Cypher@LokiLeo789

@Prince of Seraphs

See above. So, not really. At least not Skyra. There are not a lot of people who even remember her. And if they do, she was 5 years younger than she is now and has changed a lot.

[Lucius Cypher]

@SevenStormStyle

Oh certainly, we probs wouldn't be doing the intermission of all of us separated. If we ever get back together, it'd be with other pcs, but not exactly with out original team. Perhaps Sepia and say, Cobalt, find each other and decide to try and reunite their old team. Meanwhile other pairs meet up and for whatever reason are traveling about/looking for others. I could imagine Gren and Skyra working together trying to figure out how to get rid of the White Fang in their lives, and will do so by gathering the pcs as a badass army.

[NaraK]

@Prince of Seraphs I'll post as Sangue soon, then!

@harinezumikouken I think Sangue would stick with her teammates like usual if Beacon fell. But if she somehow gets separated from them, she'd probably work at the orphanage she usually visits while trying to get in contact with her teammates.

[Plank Sinatra]

yeah every member of bastille has pretty much got wanderlust by nature, they'd buy a truck and starting drifting around remnant

[Lady Seraphina]

@NarayanK It's my birthday today so anything I can do will be relegated to tomorrow or Monday. Just a heads up.

@harinezumikouken Sapphire would probably go with Team CODE. No offense to you guys but she doesn't really like most of her team or she doesn't know them that well.

[Guess Who]

If the Fall of Beacon does occur, I'd imagine that Robert would gather anyone he knew who hadn't gone lone wolf and try to track down each person one at a time. Because despite everything, he's an idealist and he believes that, with enough people, they could reclaim the place they used to call home. He wouldn't care if it took years to track everyone down, he wouldn't stop for anything, especially if gathering everyone means he'd get to see his friends again who he sees as the closest thing he has to family.
