[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Lucius Cypher]

@harinezumikouken While I won't deny that she is ultimately a tool in my hands to bring Robert suffering, I would of course characterize her more than just some floozy who was toying with Robert's heart. Much like Scoot, I shall use Priscilla to create a story, The Tragedy of Robert. At the very least, it would tie up Robert's loose ends regarding Priscilla if someone could control her to cut off their relationship. Perhaps finally put the kaboosh about her student status or some such.

[REDACTED POST ABOUT ME BEING TRIGGERED BECAUSE NTR]

Hell, just replace Priscilla with some random chick and it moves from "JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK" territory into "Kek" territory.

[Guess Who]

@Everyone who's upset about the Priscilla situation:

Just talked with Lucius over PMs about the topic and we have a plan that will not involve disgracing Priscilla's character in any way, shape, or form. In other words, just ignore the joke/pipe dream/whatever you want to call the previous posts because that is not happening at all.

Now that might be a step too far.

But only a step. Gren wouldn't be too bothered by traffic, amiright?

@Nytem4re

It's okay, I got the joke.

[Lugubrious]

NPCs cannot be used for anything (except by the players of team mates if the NPC is in a team) without my approval, and even then, any kind of dubious action will not be smiled upon.

@harinezumikouken@Lugubrious@Prince of Seraphs

How much creds will this one take, then?

@PyroDash888

I'd say that it's a medium armory upgrade, so five credits makes sense to me.

@HereComesTheSnow

You say that like it's a bad thing. Stupid sure, but people have had worse reasons to do stupid things. Besides, all attempts at satire aside this way we can properly address Pricilla's limbo status as a student, give some more tragedy to Robert, and none of it has to be sexualized. All I really need is permission to make use of Pricilla.

@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN

Aint no playgrounds in the ghetto m8. Either you played in the streets or you save up for a console, and Gren ain't got that kind of money way back when.

[HereComesTheSnow]

Do not try and backpedal, sicko.

@HereComesTheSnow

Do you always like causing shit? Cuz you try and instigate a lot more drama than there should be tbh not just in this instance

@Lucius Cypher

Why, though?

Seriously. What reason is there for it?

Priscilla was viciously savaged on a mission that was much, much more than any freshman team should have been expected to handle. Robert doesn't need any more tragedy, it's already a meme at this point, and Priscilla's limbo status can be addressed by the fact that she was traumatized and elected to leave school of her own accord.

Anything else is disrespectful to the character, whether her writer is here anymore or not. Choosing to leave because of what she faced leaves agency with her, is respectful to her character, and adds emphasis to the realities a Hunter or Huntress in training faces.

Anything else is just disrespectful. and frankly, unnecessary.

[Lucius Cypher]

I'm not going to deny what I did, but if you saying I should be ashamed of it then that's your problem, not mines. I will admit it was a stupid idea, but it's not as if everyone makes the best plans right off the bat. My only regret is forgetting that people can be triggered by my interests and ideas.

[Lady Seraphina]

I offered more than once for banjo to take the spot, publicly and privately. She really did withdraw without my knowledge and she apparently made it clear that it's not a big deal to her. If she's fine with it, I'm fine with it.

@Plank Sinatra

Alright, I still think it would be a better idea to shop around a little more, if we're going through the trouble of adding new blood to the RP after having it closed for so long I feel like we should go the whole nine yards. Sort of seems like we're getting halfway there and just going "well whatever, find the quickest solution". Not saying that you'd be bad in the role RWBY is pretty popular. It wouldn't be extremely difficult to find someone else that would be willing.

@Crimson Raven - He's got a really thick/dense skull.

@Prince of Seraphs - That's what you think. Plus don't forget he carries explosive live ammunition on him via his belt. He's already demonstrated in the past that he isn't above taking a hit to his Aura by blowing himself and the surrounding area up. Though he wouldn't make it a habit, of course.

No one likes being blown-up/lit on fire.

@harinezumikouken

So Shiro's like: *pouts* "Why do I have to take sedatives?" Blows self up.

Never mind that sounds about right.

[HereComesTheSnow]

Calling a spade a spade is a simple pleasure.

@Krayzikk

Because for once, this is actually suppose to be in Robert's benefit. He's still not over Pricilla dying, and simply bringing her in and having her tells Robert that she's leaving would bring him some closure and ideally, end a bit of suffering he's having.

Now we could always just have Robert get over her death without ever addressing the fact she's alive, and if that's what Guess wants to do the that is his decision. I wouldn't put him or anyone else through the wringer directly if they don't want to be involved in it. But if he wants to do this, since I've given him a prompt to try, then I will facilitate it in whatever manner he wants.

Unless you'd like to tell Guess that he can't use Pricilla in this matter because it'll be disrespectful. Cut off that option for him and he'll have to just find something else to do, leave that chip on his shoulder.

[Silvan Haven]

I was going to make a quip about how I have zero credits and may never actually need any.

Then I caught up and well.

I have torches and pitchforks over here if anybody wants them. Might still have the stake and wood pile set up out back as well. Would have to check.

[HereComesTheSnow]

Any rope?

I don't want to live to see the damage from my finals

[NaraK]

I don't like NTR because it desensitizes people's value a bit... But I think we can settle this with kinder words guys.

Let's just, uh.

Talk about how cool water is. o-o

Um...

This may seem like a weird time to post something like this, but the concept art for one of the major characters in the upcoming "Red Nile" story is complete!



Some details to his weapons and etc are in the hider!

Details!

Name: Bang Constantine

Age: 20

Race: Human

Weapon: Twin Cities

Bang throws out attacks enhanced by his Semblance, physical prowess, and the Twin Cities gauntlets. The more attacks and blocks the gauntlets are actively used in, the more it begins to overheat. Once overheated, Bang can choose to activate one of his Gauntlets' special features. Using one of the Overheated attacks will cool down both Gauntlets.

When chosen, Constantinople opens up and turns into a vacuum while a directly connected Bangkok powers its suction with its destructive engine, sucking Bang's opponents to the gauntlet out-of-control. When the few seconds of vacuum ends, the gauntlet releases a shockwave that blasts Bang's opponents 5 kilometers away from himself. Aiming the gauntlet in an open area upward usually means that Bang intends on leaving as soon as possible.

When chosen, Bang will use Constantinople as a cooling vent using its vacuum system as Bangkok overcharges with an intense heat. Any projectiles such as bullets will be sucked into Constantinople and be turned into a molten substance. The longer Bang charges his next attack, the more intensity his attack gains. After he cocks Bangkok twice, it will promptly blast off towards a target direction Bang chooses. All substances turned molten will be left in a thin blazing hot trail behind Bang's path. The maximum time he can wait is five seconds before the attack automatically activates.

Alternatively, if Bang does not want to use these special features, he can cool down Twin Cities by quickly releasing the heat from the gauntlets in a split moment. It should be taken to note that Twin Cities has a chance of suddenly activating one of the gauntlets’ special features in a randomized fashion, so Bang’s safest bet is to chain together attacks while managing to maintain the heat of his weapons.

Semblance: Reset

When Bang performs an incredibly powerful attack or straining movement, he can immediately “cancel” the momentum of the attack/move and immediately connect it with any other attack/move he can perform. He can use Reset up to five times in a row, letting him overheat Twin Cities very quickly if his opponent tries to overpower him. Reset quickly leaves behind afterimages of Bang for a split moment based on how many times he has consecutively used it, and that is the only way to count how many times he has consecutively used Reset in a string of attacks.

Fighting Style: Bang utilizes a hybrid art of boxing and Kuntao. Loaded with fast, hard-hitting attacks that are closely knitted together, Bang is guaranteed to hit REALLY hard if one underestimates not only his weapons, Twin Cities, but also his Semblance and his general knowledge in keeping the neutral between him and his opponent at either a balance or towards his favor. He has no form of armor or ranged attacks aside from his smoking hot gauntlets, but those weaknesses can be easily overlooked by his opponents if they are too intimidated by his attacks alone.

Although young, his broad-minded and serious personality, along with his natural talent in fighting, easily makes him a tough foe to take down.

Personality and Background: Born to two loving Atlas parents who now resided in Vale, Bang grew up to be a talented star in the field of boxing. His serious attitude is a complete contrast to his parents, who are naturally sociable, but he still shares the same trait of being friendly. At least, he tries to be friendly, but the way he thinks is four-dimensional.

Despite this, he is known to have met Apophis multiple times and partly served the role of helping Sangue leave the wilderness. He appears in Chapter 7 of the Red Nile as a young teenager.

Color: Shining Turquoise

Emblem: Four skyscrapers with falcon wings spreading out of the cluster of buildings.

I just kinda wanted to share this because _{I just wanted to see if anybody actually remembered the "Red Nile" story i'm writing}

@Lugubrious (just to keep you informed about my progress in this story i'm writing!)

[Abillioncats]

Hmm. Possibly, as part of Gren's own research into utilizing Aura as an energy source. Of course he could also just help Emerald allow her cannon to shoot either the concentrated blast of aura or rockets, depending on what sort of a boom Emerald is looking for. If you're looking for just some anti-personal explosions, Gren could probs rig up something onto her shotguns without needing the cannon. But if you're big-gaming hunting, then yeah, he'll figure something out. Can't promise that it'll have too many shots, two at best, one from each shotgun. After that Emerald would need to use her aura again. Gren's own rockets are for large targets that aren't hard to hit, or still targets who won't be fast enough to avoid the explosions, since Gren isn't going to bother to hit enemies directly with the rocket itself but catch them in the splash. If Emerald and Gren meet up for these upgrades he'll probs give her pointers about this too.

Oh, or, OR! He could try to adjust Emerald's new upgrades to be guided missiles. Makes it a bit easier for her to fire-and-forget once she gets a lock on them. Being precision based weapons, she ought to make sure each shot counts for something.

@Lucius Cypher

Well I'm trying to keep it at a minor weapon upgrade, so maybe just the guided missles. Scrapping the whole aura based weapon cause it's the reason Emerald got stabbed and shit, she personally doesn't want it anymore XD
