[OOC] RWBY AU RP(hard reset, see new thread)

[Phantomlink959]

Doesn't meet CNR, Storming barely meets it.
Besides the teams leader is grew up on a ship.
But yeah, you're last.

[AiyvaGuard]

Phaaantom is my CS good?

[Phantomlink959]

I know you put a lot of work in, but Aurora just doesn't fit the bill, may want to apply Occam's razor then try again.

@Phantomlink959

Occam's razor?

[Phantomlink959]

Keep it simple, stupid.
Not an insult to intelligence, simply means don't overcomplicate things.

@Phantomlink959

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. . - .

[Phantomlink959]

She's pretty over engineered. What I do with most of my characters is make a walking clusterfuck then break them down into 2-3 more refined, functional characters.

[Phantomlink959]

Question: Do you folks think I, as the GM, should add a student character for unnamed-team 1? I would most likely allow them to function as an NPC rather than control them directly, and it would help fill in the teams so we can start sooner.

[Fatal Error 1337]

I've never had a problem with gm's making characters. As long as you're not one of those gm's that likes to start RP's just to explore their power fantasies.

[Phantomlink959]

That's what fanfiction is for.

[Little Mx Inferno]

Post coming up, sorry for taking awhile.

[Phantomlink959]

It's cool, different time zones and schedules.

[Phantomlink959]

I wonder if I scared off @AiyvaGuard with my disproportionately high character standards?

[Little Mx Inferno]

I think I've seen them once before on a RWBY RP I set up. From what I've seen I think they may be better suited to a low-casual RP.

[AiyvaGuard]

I wonder if I scared off @AiyvaGuard with my disproportionately high character standards?

@Phantomlink959

Nah, I scared my self off with the high set of stupidity that I hath realized. .-. D;

[Phantomlink959]

Ah.
You're welcome to put together another character if you'd like to try again. we've got plenty of space.

[Phantomlink959]

I'll let you guys decide if I should use him as a space filler.

Kalte Blau

1) Basic info:

Name:Kalte Blau

Casual Outfit:same as combat, however the pants are white and he wears normal shoes instead of studded hiking boots. otherwise wear
beacon uniform.

3) Characteristics:
Personality:A shy and somewhat introverted young man, his closest friends both being extremely dominant personalities he tends to be fairly submissive, preferring to follow others. he was forced to leave his best friends behind at Signal as he is a year older than the two of them, he has trouble dealing with others, although when in combat he is cold, calculating, and efficient, with years of training having made him a lethal dust mage. in spite of his intelligence, he is poor at formulating strategy, and his submissive nature means he wold make a poor leader.
Background: [redacted due to plot spoilers]
4) Combat info:
Position/Class:variable striker/controller (wizard)
Landing strategy:Use udst and his semblance to create a snowbank to catch his fall
Weapon :Schneesturm, twin gauntlets equipped with rotating dust cylinders, used as an energy source for his dust magic. The name is somewhat misleading, as the gauntlets contain a wide array of dust types. He simply kept the name from his original weapon, a pair of gauntlets equipped with firearms that used only wind and ice dust.
Semblance: Condensation, a largely passive semblance, allows him to gather and freeze water vapor in the air around him, causes the users aura to take on a permanent chilling effect, making it seem as if the persons skin were cold as ice, though their body temperature is not affected.
Fighting style:large-scale manipulation of dust and aura for use with devastating magic-like attacks, has extremely high aura capacity but is vulnerable at close range as he looks a weapon for melee combat, though he can use the standard force barrier techniques used by most aura-specialists.

5) Trivia:
Relationships:
The Twins: the teacher Grey Waldgrun's youngest children, they are his friends from Signal academy.
[other relationships redacted due to plot spoilers]
Notes: Name literally means 'cold blue'
Was accepted to Beacon before his 17th birthday but after graduating signal, so he's a bit younger than other students, but only by a few months.

His backstory has a lot of spoilers for the plot of my AU and the roleplay in general, so I had to redact it. it does meet my requirements, though.

Geez this took me a while. Sorry for the wait.

Casual Outfit: When not in her battle gear or beacon gear she tends to wear A grey-blue pencil skirt, a long sleeve, formal red blouse.

3) Characteristics:

Personality: Cinis is best, and most politely, described as driven. She has this tendency to focus on the task before her with a maddening single-mindedness. As if she was a bloodhound on the scent of a fox, she is rarely ever side tracked or distracted from whatever her goals is at the time. While it often makes her reluctant to help or be involved with others, it not something she has any sort of distaste for nor has it ever prevented her from working with others, especially those assigned to her. Though her passionately focused nature can make her seem abrasive to those who are less dedicated to their tasks. To that end, it would be fair to say she is hard working, and while is she certainly no academic master, her unwavering work ethic does provide her with more knowledge than some.

Background: To know Cinis, you will have to also know a bit of her family history. The Vulcan family has a long and unique history. Long ago they were a respected clan of hunters. Several generations back the clan went from warrior to entrepreneur. They owned a good deal of land that included minor range of ore rich mountains, with a semi-dormant volcano in the center of the range. The family became a major provider of various metals, providing half of their wealth, and source of extremely high quality earth, fire, and lava dust. Through many decades of mining, the volcano became too unstable to safely extract the earth and fire dust from, and that began the Vulcan Family troubles. Practically overnight half of the companies source of revenue was gone. The years following were a desperate and slowly failing struggle to remain afloat. They leaned heavily on the mines, increasing the output to keep from having to cut hundreds of workers, but this was a band aid at best. The Vulcan family heads were to afraid to try a new direction, developed other potential produces, or business models and clung desperately to the hope of reopening the volcano dust mines. They wasted millions of dollars in finding ways to safely mine the dust, but every attempt was a failure. Some were even disastrous resulting in the loss of not just the lives of workers but to members of the small city that surrounded the mines.

Cinis was one of several children born to the most recent generation of the Vulcan family. The fourth youngest of 6 as a matter of fact. The family is in more dire straits than ever. She was raised by fretful and distracted parents who were more worried by the survival of their business than anything else. The Children helped mostly helped raise one another. While not lonely it was not the most nurturing environment for the young. They made a game of entertaining one another by going through the family histories and finding and sharing stories from the glory days of when they were a clan of hunters. One fateful day her and her oldest brother where in town to sell a collection of the family hunting relics to help fund the company, there was a terrible rumble from the volcano. There had been another attempt to mind dust from the unstable volcano today, and it was clearly failing. While the volcano didn't blow, the disturbance did enrage local grim and they quickly descended into the village. He brother took up arms with the family heirloom weapons to help defend the village and his sister. Brave and valiant he may have been he was no trained warrior and eventually the grim over powered and badly wounded him. Cinis, filled with rage at the creature that injured her sibling, took up the fight in his place. her and the other villagers pushed the grim back. Her brother injuries were serious, and he was never quite the same emotional or physically. Her parents seemed to care more that the latest attempt to reopen the dust mines had failed and than that their heir had been crippled due to their foolishness. It was from that point that Cinis vowed that she would not involve herself in the Vulcan Mining company and would peruse the path of a hunter, as her ancestors had. Hopefully she would become a mighty enough hunter that the Vulcan family name would hold the honor it once did and not be thought of as company of narrow minded fools.



4) Combat info:

Position/Class: Tank/heavy hitter

Landing strategy: Using Carbonis's cannon setting, she used the powerful kick back to slow her fall and clear her landing zone. While she still ended up with light injuries form hitting the ground with significant force, they were easily handled by her semblance.

Weapon: Favilla and Carbonis. Favilla is a gladius, A medium length sword heavy sword with a wide tip that is excellent for slicing, hacking, and piercing with deadly effect. Favilla has no transformation nor gimmick, it is merely a sword of excellent quality. Carbonis is a Scutum, the roman wall shield. A large black, slightly curved rectangle of defensive steel, enameled black with her symbols in dark red. The shield can turn into variation on hand cannon. In this form it is a good 6 feet long, the top 2 feet being the cannon, and the latter 4 being the shaft held for aiming and firing. It is breach loaded and can fire traditional shells, which are basically light grenades, as well as dust shells. Her preferred dust shells are fire ( incendiary ) and Lightning ( flash bang/shock ). In this form it also makes a rather effective two handed club or very heavy staff. She carries the ammo for this weapon in a specially designed box that hangs from her belt and doubles as a sheath for her sword. In desperate need these shells can be thrown by hand as grenades.

Semblance: Regeneration. As long as Cinis has the strength of aura she is able to heal most wounds. When she takes injury, the damaged area crackles and burns as if fire and ash were leaking from her body rather than blood, and in a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the intensity of the wound, the flames die out to reveal the wound has been healed. She does not know what would happen if she were to take a killer blow to the head, or to lose a limb entirely, but that is what the shield is for.

Fighting style: Up close and personal. Patient yet very aggressive. She starts out most fights with sword and shield, staying close to her foe to keep the attention on her. With her shield she defends most of the most dangerous at, and attacks with the sword with brutal efficiency, sometimes relying on her regeneration to trade blows with a foe to earn a more critical strike. This allows her to control the pace of most of her battles by staying close to a foe and aggressively menacing with her blade until she creates an opening. When the situation calls for heavier hitting she switches her shield into hand-cannon mode. It makes for a devastating club and can deliver explosive blasts.

5) Trivia:

Relationships: N/A
Notes: Cinis is latin for Ashes. Favilla and Cabonis are Living Ash and Coal in latin.

[Phantomlink959]

*looks over sheet purely as a formality*
character thread.

Let me see...
Cinis is a summery character (red, fire, that kind of stuff)
Kalte is a wintery character(by design)
if we get spring and a fall type characters we can make a tean of the 4 seasons!
(bonus points to people submitting characters if they make them fit one of those. not mandatory, but would be cool.)
anyways, what do you all think of Kalte? I won't be controlling him directly, rather he'll serve as an NPC to be controlled by the players.

[Fatal Error 1337]

Kalte seems like a good addition, though really it should be up to the team he's on.
