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

[Phantomlink959]

Remind me to introduce you to Drachen Klau...

[Little Mx Inferno]

I'm throwing in my interest for this. I've actually got a RWBY character all set up and ready, just need to reformat it to your character sheet.

Edit: For a Trans* character, would you prefer we list their biological sex or what they identify as under basic info?

*fist pump intensifies*

[Phantomlink959]

Never real thought about it. I'll leave that up to you.

Casual Outfit: See image, symbol is displayed on the back of her jacket. Jacket is purple with steel grey fur lining, undershirt and belt are black, steel grey pants and boots.

3) Characteristics:

Personality: Lyle’s street smart due to her background, and generally prefers actions to words. Despite this, She can be a decent fast-talker when words are a better solution. She doesn’t really care what others think of her, not even bothering to correct people who use the wrong pronouns. In fact, the only people she’s asked to use specific pronouns are her teammates.. She is also a bit of a hot-head, and when she’s not fully collected often says things that lands her into trouble. Lyle also has deep-set abandonment issues which often result in pushing people away before they can get close, and a phobia of being physically restrained. Ultimately she can be difficult to get along with and has a prickly exterior, but she tries her best to be a decent friend despite it.
Background: Lyle never knew her parents, though she doesn’t know if they’re dead or just abandoned her. Either way, she grew up in an orphanage, or at least that's what was said. In reality, like many other orphans she fell through the cracks of the system, living much of her young life on the streets. To survive, she had to learn how to fight at a young age, and joined a gang quite early in life. This resulted in a traumatic experience at the age of fourteen, getting captured and tortured by a rival gang member for information that she still proudly recalls she never gave, even though she now realizes that it was fairly worthless. This torture created the scars that now adorn her face. After that traumatic experience Lyle became extremely withdrawn for awhile until she was taken in by a huntsman, though whether out of pity or the good of his heart she doesn't know, his kind act ultimately caused Lyle’s decision to become a Huntress.

4) Combat info:

Position/Class: Glass cannon with one-off tanking ability.
Landing strategy: Use her weapon to latch onto a tree and make her way down from there.
Weapon: Lyle is equipped with the Cheshire Grievance, a transforming weapon. It has three modes.
Active, Melee Mode: In its melee mode, Cheshire Grievance is made up of two large machete like
blades facing inwards like a pair of scissors, with the last half of the backside of the blade being edged and serrated as well. They attach to a pair of mechanical arms connected to a large, two handed hilt approximately half the length of the blades. (Blade length: 4’6”. Handle length: 2’8”. Total length with arms fully extended forward: 8’)
Active, Ranged Mode: In ranged mode, one of the blades pulls back along the hilt, the back of it being a grip, including a trigger. The top blade aligns with the hilt, extending the barrel and allowing it to function as a light machine gun. Lastly, the hilt flips up into a sort of carrying handle.
Stored Mode: In stored mode both blades pull back against the hilt, latching into a slots (built around the main handholds and leaving enough space for it to be grabbed) while the far half of both blades retracts inside the closer half, leaving it approximately the size of a mid-size shield which can be attached to a clamp worn on Lyle’s back.

Semblance: Damage reversal. Lyle's semblance, when activated, effectively creates a damage reflecting shield around her body. Any attack that hits the shield causes whatever damage would be applied to her on her attacker. This shield does have its limits though, and while it allows Lyle to take some impressive hits, an attack from a powerful enough opponent would be able to break through the shield (albeit still reflecting as much damage as it could). Using this semblance for even a few seconds also leaves Lyle incredibly exhausted and with barely any Aura to call upon to shield herself, making it effectively a one-use and leaving her dead in the water.

Fighting style: Lyle tends to rely on the extreme damage capabilities of her weapon, as well as its fairly impressive reach. She generally attempts to stay out of her enemies range when possible, dodging around until she can inflict a fatal attack, usually by clamping Cheshire Grievances blades around a Grimm's neck. When facing large groups of enemies she switches to its LMG mode and attempts to gun them down before they can get close.

5) Trivia:

Relationships:
Notes: Lyle is a trans girl.

[Phantomlink959]

Looks pretty good, not sure how I feel about the semblance, but we'll see how it works out once things get moving. go ahead and add her to the list

[Little Mx Inferno]

Alright, cool.

[Phantomlink959]

Hmm...
the letters for team name I currently have to work with are
L/R
T/J
L/S
F/G
can only find one permutation that works as a name (LGTR, lighter) but none of the characters are fire themed so it doesn't fit.
any suggestions?

[Fatal Error 1337]

FRST: Frost (again, no ice related characters)
: First (don't think it's a good name)
: Forest (not sure how that would apply to the team)
JGRS: Jagers (German for hunter with an English pluralization)

I'll see if I can come up with more.

[Phantomlink959]

Hmm.... I could technically go with GLLT (gilt) but no gold colored characters....

[Against This]

Gonna throw stuff at the wall and see if anything sticks.

TGRS: Tigers
GRTL: Gretel
FLRT: Flirt
TRGS: Tragics
GLST: Glisten
GTSR: Gutsier
STGR: Stagger
STLG: Styling, Stealing
LSTG: Lasting

[Phantomlink959]

the only one of those that meets CNR is TGRS, but no chracters fit...
This is harder than it was making up my own teams

[Little Mx Inferno]

I'd say JGRS fits pretty well. Are we following CNR for the team names as well? Cause they're supposed to be, but the chances of getting one that fits and is CNR compliant is very unlikely.

[Phantomlink959]

calling a team of in-training hunters JGRS is to close to that one trope

[Phantomlink959]

I'm being way too picky about this, huh?
You know what? JGRS it is. if I think of something better before we finish initiation, I'll change it.

ALRIGHT! Posting order for team 1 is (by character name) Jason, Ferrin, Lyle, Leon.
You may know begin posting IC.
One turn is one post, one round is complete after everybody has their turn. To start things off, you have 4 rounds until my next GM post, each GM post will include number of rounds until next GM post.

[Fatal Error 1337]

Fantastic! Time to get typing.

[Phantomlink959]

I'm going to be honest, my original plan was to put Leon as the team leader, but I can't find any good team name combinations right now that would allow for that.

[Fatal Error 1337]

It would be better for the less brawly guy to serve as a leader... Damn this annoyingly difficult naming system.

[Fatal Error 1337]

STRF : Strafe?

[Phantomlink959]

*defeated sigh*
we do have time before we actually need them. perhaps once the roster fills up I'll be able to find a decent par of team names.
