@hatakekuro

No problem, this probably won't start until me and Lar are finished with ours anyway, which probably won't be tonight.

[Nallore]

@Mr_pink Soooo is my character accepted? :)

[AquaAzura]

[Larfleeze]

@Mr_pink Soooo is my character accepted? :)

@Nallore

Yeah sure, you in, fam.

Is there still room?

@AquaAzura

if one more person comes into the rp asking if there's still room like it's the Inn at Bethlehem I'm going to cry T_T

We're looking for 8-12 players, so until we say so, there's always going to be more room.

[Dirty Dan]

Good evening.

[Lord Santa]

@Mr_pink
What about my character?

[Mr_pink]

[Lord Santa]

[Thundercrash]

Any issues with mine?

[Katsa]

Just commenting that I do still want my spot reserved since spots are filling up quick!

^{I hate that the holidays don't let me do anything.}

[Dirty Dan]

Naw Thunder, you're accepted bro.

Katsa, no problem, haha.

[Lord Santa]

Considering we got a bunch of characters accepted and a bunch more on the way, what're we going to do in the way of teams? That is to say, are we going to decide one full team or wait till everyone has a sheet before divying up the teammates?

[tanderbolt]

I hope I'm not too late, here's my character. I had trouble thinking of a good semblance.

Name: Tommy Brown
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance:

Weapon Name: War Requiem
Weapon Appearance/Function:

Big picture

It’s a shotgun with a bayonet that can be detached as a knife. He got the weapon as a gift from a machinist he knew, it’s two different mass produced weapons merged into one dull but effective package.
Weapon Derivation:

Shotgun+knife

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Just keeps it on a sling on his back, no fancy case or transformation
Form(s): Either fights with them both together, or with the knife/knuckles on one hand and them shotgun in the other. Sometimes uses the stock of the shotgun as a club at close range. The knife can be swapped from the top of the knuckles to the front of them, allowing him to punch with it.

Looks something like this in that mode

Semblance: When he’s on the verge of being knocked out, once per day he can get a second wind. He doesn’t heal or recover from his accumulated injuries at all, it merely dulls his pain allows him to remain conscious beyond his normal limits of durability. The strain on his body means that it takes him a full day to recover afterwards, he cannot do it again until he has had this time to recover.

Strengths: He’s very durable and physically strong. He never hesitates in battle, and fights at an intense pace that wears people down. His wild brawling style makes his attacks unpredictable because of their unpolished nature.

Weaknesses: Slow moving, fighting technique is sloppy and inaccurate, poor evasive abilities, less effective at long range, tends to rely on brute force rather than smart planning.

Personality: Tommy is almost never happy. He’s foul mouthed and impatient, and never learned proper etiquette. He hates cowards and people who give up easily, but will mock anyone for just about anything that he thinks is funny. He also doesn’t like to back down from challenges, even if this means making some very stupid decisions. Tommy doesn’t think about future consequences of his actions, he just sees the future as more of the same and lives day to day.

Tommy is also not one to hold grudges. Even if someone beat him badly in a fight, he’d still be happy to go out drinking with them. Though he dislikes people who won’t stand up for themselves, he also hates people who bully the weak. He’s extremely loyal to the few friends he has in this world.

History: Tommy was born in poverty in an industrial town. The smog and overcrowding meant that life was unpleasant, and as he grew older the town’s fortunes grew worse. An increase in Grimm activity and the depletion of local dust mines hurt the economy, and soon some of the factories began to close down. Tommy’s family didn’t have the money to pack up and move somewhere else, so they stayed as the area became more destitute and lawless. He grew up with little supervision or guidance, his father was a drunkard and his mother had chronic health problems. School never taught him anything useful, half the time he bothered to show up it was just to settle a score with somebody who angered him.

Street fights felt natural to him. He had plenty to be angry about in his life, and hitting something was a good way to relieve it, even if he took a beating in return. His natural toughness carried him for a while, over time he even managed to develop some skill beyond sheer tenacity. Tommy supplemented his income by working industrial jobs on the side, but the state of the town meant that they never lasted long. He never thought about the future, the only things he could look forward to was being old enough to buy liquor legally and get conscripted. Then he would be just another warm body in the trenches, holding off the Grimm who were slowly encroaching on his home.

His fortunes changed at least temporarily when a Huntsman came to visit the town. It was intended as something to boost morale, huge crowds gathered to see the Huntsman give inspirational speeches and demonstrate his fighting skills. Tommy had nothing better to do, so he spent his time heckling the man, constantly interrupting him and insulting him, just to see if he could provoke some sort of reaction. Perhaps motivated by Tommy’s disruption, the Huntsman laid out an open challenge, offering to fight anyone in the audience. Of course, Tommy was among the first chosen, and he fared extremely poorly. The huntsman was never in danger during the fight, and none of his attacks had any problem hitting Tommy. However, Tommy’s sheer tenacity dragged the fight out, and by the time he finally fell unconscious he had earned the respect of the Huntsman. The audience mocked Tommy for the one-sidedness of the fight afterwards, but a few weeks later he found himself accepted to Haven. For the first the first time in years, Tommy had something to look forward to.

I believe that we will stop taking people at 12 players, which we will then divide into three teams of four. One such team has already been made - Team DEVL. The others will be made once everyone is accepted and accounted for, and we can think of names.
