[Thundercrash]

As am I. I know that those of us who are in NA are probably dealing with finals if they're in school, or finishing up stuff for Christmas, but I don't know about anywhere else.

@Thundercrash

Well, I've already finished school for this year so I'm just rolling around, mainly.

[OneWayOut]

I have one more week of school q.q

[Volenvradica]

Oh those days. Don't want them back. D:

Well, best of luck to all you students. Please get plenty of rest as you finish up those papers and review for finals.

[Nallore]

Still here you guys, sorry had a busy last few days i'll get a post up tomorrow.

[Thundercrash]

It occurs to me that I might as well repost my character sheet here, for easier reference.

Cyra Verdant

Name: Cyra Verdant, Scorpling

Age: 17

Gender: female

Race: Faunus, scorpion sub-species

Appearance: Cyra stands at an even 5 feet. She typically wears very thick clothing with dark colours, hoodies, sweatpants, boots and fingerless gloves. She also conceals the lower half of her face with a bandanna scarf. Has violet eyes and chin length black hair. Visible skin is a very light brown, with sections of greenish-black carapace spread across her torso and limbs.

Weapon Name: Khthon and Lithos

Weapon Appearance/Function: A pair of rectangular arm shields.

Weapon Derivation: Arm shields, wall shields, twin-linked heavy machine guns with variable ammunition, rail cannons

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: rectangular arm shields strapped parallel to her forearms.

Forms: Guardian (the side and rear edges can extend, forming a large wall shield, and retract to allow ease of movement), Assault/Suppression (the firing mechanisms in each shield can reconfigure into either twin-linked heavy machine guns or high-impact rail cannons), Fortress (both shields can interlock to form a large, curved barrier)

Semblance: able to "lock-down" her body, becoming immovable from where she stands and transmitting energy from blows into the ground. Can also allow energy to build up in her body and then discharge as a seismic shockwave.

Strengths: Fighting against Cyra can easily be described as like fighting a small mountain. Her Semblance enables her to easily endure any kind of assault, letting her opponents exhaust themselves, and then take them out with a single high-powered blast. To compensate for her low mobility, Cyra can also lay down a barrage of high-caliber fire to keep her enemies pinned.

Weaknesses: While Cyra has unmatched stamina in a fight, her offensive capability is limited. She has very little mobility and largely relies on her opponents coming to her. Cyra also has difficulty in fighting fast opponents closer to her own size, due to her weapons not being very accurate against moving targets. Her Semblance is virtually useless if she is not in contact with the ground, making her very vulnerable in the air.

Personality: Cyra is as quiet and shy as anyone can get. She buries her body in thick clothing, desperate to hide her Faunus status and going to great lengths to ensure no one else discovers this fact; dressing and undressing while still in bed, bathing only when she is absolutely certain she is alone, avoiding all physical contact. Often the only parts of her body that are actually visible are the upper half of her face and her fingertips. Because of her small stature, reluctance to speak and preference for dark colours, she easily fades into the background and passes unnoticed, until someone decides to pick on her, against which she virtually never defends herself.
In spite of this, Cyra is quite intelligent and studious, having designed and built the complicated mechanisms of Khthon and Lithos herself. She is also very observant and rarely misses things, even if she seldom informs anyone else for fear of bringing attention to herself, which causes her to appear somewhat stupid. When she is with someone she truly trusts, she can seem over-affectionate, craving the physical contact she otherwise deprives herself of.

History: Cyra grew up alone with her mother, her father dying in a Grimm attack before she was born and having no other family to speak of. She also rarely saw her mother, who tended to work long hours at difficult jobs just to be able to support her. School was essentially hell for Cyra; as a young scorpion Faunus she often faced intense bullying, particularly due to the carapace sections on her skin being difficult to hide. Her attempts to do so only changed the reasons for her being bullied.
Her path to becoming a Huntress was one of necessity. While at a playground, Cyra was being repeatedly pushed around by a group of kids, when she finally lost her temper and activated her Semblance. The resulting shockwave not only knocked the other kids off their feet, but also caused serious damage to the playground. Cyra’s mother made her swear to only use her power to protect others, encouraging her to be better than those who discriminated against her. After that, her path was set.

Emblem: A stylized V with curved tips (resembling herself holding her shields in front of her in Guardian form when viewed from above), surrounded by two concentric spiked circles.

Team: unassigned

Theme: You’ll Be In My Heart – Phil Collins

Other: Cyra loves sour candies, the stronger the better. This makes her easy to bribe.

@NarcissisticPotato Meep meep.

[Lord Santa]

So, uh

Anyone gonna post anytime soon?

[Thundercrash]

Well, I'm waiting for a response from my "partner", so I dunno. I think the other one is garnering more attention because it has more people.

@Thundercrash

There's another one?

[Thundercrash]

Yeah, OneWayOut started one.

[Lord Santa]

Oh yeah... Wonder how that's going.

[Thundercrash]

@Lord Santa We just got to the night before initiation, where everyone is sleeping in the ballroom. It also has a bit more of a schedule to it, in that one week of real time equals one day of RP time.

Last I checked, there were two teams still missing a member, so we're hoping two more people will join.
