[OneWayOut]

THE OOC IS UP. CLICK HERE!

I like this idea. Though, I need to ask. About the team thingy. Do you intend for us to all be in the same team(s), or will be all be in seperate teams, NPCing the others, for example?
Either way, I'm interested, and working on my CS.

@datadogie

Yay, nice to have you :)

The idea is to have characters all in the same team. No need to worry about controlling three other npcs. For now, I'm letting people reserve a letter in whatever team they like at this point. Hopefully some gravitate towards the same ones. XD

[datadogie]

@OneWayOut
Awesome, sounds like a great idea!
If you don't mind, I'd like to take the letter 'S' in team Frost (FRST), please. ^_^

Done :)

[OneWayOut]

@datadogie before you get too far, I should ask. Would you mind if Team FRST are second year students? I have something planned.

[datadogie]

@OneWayOut
Sure, I don't mind! So, that'd make them... 18?
Also, quick question, can Sapphire (my character) be 16 (17 if second year)?

@datadogie

Yep, they should be 18, but 17 is OK. It's the minimum age I want so it all works out :)

[OneWayOut]

Almost done with my character. One less thing for me to do.

[KiltmanBagz]

interest! god which character of mine should I use -heavy sweats-

[datadogie]

@OneWayOut
Hey! I'm back! Here is my character:

Sapphire Pearl

"When ordering someone to use force, you yourself are forcing them to not use force."

Name: Sapphire Pearl

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Race: Faunus (Cat, two cat ears, cat tail)

Appearance: The appearance of Sapphire is much like the picture, though she also has a tail. Her outfit is just like that in the picture, though her tights and jacket are a blue colour. She stands at just below average height for a girl her age, and is below the average weight.

Weapon Name: Gemtra

Weapon Appearance/Function: The general appearance of Gemtra is like a longsword, however with a special sapphire gem within that expands and forms the sword itself. The weapon is generally used for combat.
Type: Melee-Defense, Range, multi-form, non-aura interactive
Weapon Derivation: Gemtra was inspired by knights of the past, whom carried swords and shields in either hand.

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: When sheathed (or holstered, whichever way you prefer to put it), Gemtra is only the hilt of it's full form, with or without an ammunition clip within it.

Form 1: Gemtra's first form is the primary form taken when in combat. The gem of the blade runs the length of a long sword, with one sharp edge and a sharp point. This is primarily used for duelling, as well as general melee fighting.

Form 2: Form number two makes a lot of people think that Sapphire had broken Gemtra upon their first looks, however in reality, a second later, they see it had all come as planned. With the squeeze of the grip in the right spot, Gemtra splits six ways open, like a flower with it's petals. The sharp edges on it gives the impression that Gemtra shattered, however this form can be used for both melee and ranged attacks, as it opens up for the barrel in the hilt to fire. As well as this, Gemtra's second form allows for defense, as it also acts as a shield with it's wide area. Spinning the petals of the 'shattered' weapon also has the advantage of making it an effective barrier against attacks.

Form 3: The third form is not exactly a proper form, it's actually the holstered form of Gemtra. When in the holstered form, if it has an ammunition clip inserted, it can act as a simple pistol.

Personality: Sapphire constantly giggly and excitable, often squealing out in joy. However, at the same time, she is only like that when around her friends and her team, as she is slightly shy. Generally, though, she considers someone a friend if she gets used to them quickly, and she keeps happy even around people she does not know. Sapphire also often presents her cat side, intentionally or unintentionally, by purring, for example, or meowing. She is also affected by catlike things, like catnip or cat toys, like remote control mice. There are some things that Sapphire does not like to talk about, such as her past, and she usually tries to avoid answering about them.

History: It was not long after Sapphire first discovered hunters and huntresses in books filled with stories of their great deeds that she herself wanted to become a huntress. Her parents, whom both were White Fang members, trained her to fight, but not for good. They wanted her to be like them, to bomb trains, to fight for the White Fang. However, Sapphire only realized this after she accompanied them and a few other members of the White Fang on some raids. After that, taking her weapon and some life essentials with her, she left. The worst of it all was that at that time she was only eight.

Sapphire lived on her own for two years before being picked up by a huntress who had long since passed her own training. Seeing the young Faunus' state, the huntress, miss Diamond Pearl, took her in. Upon realizing that young Sapphire wished to be a huntress, Diamond assisted her in upgrading her sword to be a better, more efficient weapon.

Just after her sixteenth birthday, Sapphire's home village was attacked by a sudden surge of Grimm that broke through the walls meant to hold them back. Everything was torn apart in front of her, from homes to her adoptive mother Diamond. Only by a thread did Sapphire survive by fighting her way through the hordes of Grimm until they finally stopped coming. It was later discovered that the wall fell because of a White Fang bomb.

It was this great feat that granted Sapphire one year early access into what was known as Beacon academy. She passed the original initiation, in the Emerald Forest, and was assigned to team FRST, also known as team Frost. Now, Sapphire is a second year student, though still the age of a first year.

Emblem:

Other:
Color: Sapphire blue
Combat Style: Sapphire prefers to close in during combat, as she is best in hand-to-hand combat.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Sapphire is proficient in close-up combat, however she is still able to do ranged combat with the ranged form of Gemtra. Sapphire has a fear of water, and when angry she generally just loses control of herself. The same can be said when she is upset.
Semblance: Fuel of Tears: Sapphire's power grows if she has tears running down her cheeks. This doesn't work with fake tears; if she is trying to fake crying, for example, to make her power grow. Unfortunately in addition to this, Sapphire grows angrier with each tear, depending on the situation. It's either that, or she just sobs sadly.

@KiltmanBagz

I had the same problem but then I was like, why not add another to the list? Then made another.

[datadogie]

Can't wait for more peeps to sign up for this! *Bounces around*

@OneWayOut

Hmmm....fair enough. I do have a few character concepts I've been meaning to flesh out.

What would you say if I made a character that was a budding Dust witch in training like Glinda?

[Vilhelm]

@OneWayOut
If there might still be room for an R in team FRST, I've gone ahead and worked up a character sheet. ^^

Be warned, images within- All safe, just large.

Rust

Name:
Rust Bairne

Age:
18

Gender:
Male

Race:
Human

Appearance:


Standing at 6'1" and built quite athletically, Rust is just what one might expect of somebody raised to fight- That is to say, a bit of a heartthrob without realizing it. Generally a bit rugged in grooming, his hair is usually a mess, his beard is scruffy, and while clean, he looks like he just needs a hot shower, a nap, and somebody to iron the massive amount of wrinkles from his clothes. His eyes are the color of his name- a faint orange hue, with small flecks of darker orange- Like rust on iron in the light of dusk. He tends to dress casually, in jeans, combat boots, and a wrinkled button-up flannel hanging open over a T-shirt.

He has his personal crest inked into his shoulder in the same color as his eyes.

Weapon Name:
Sear (Left) and Scorch (Right)

Weapon Appearance/Function:
Sear and Scorch are twin trench blades with some interesting features- Meant for punching, stabbing, and slashing all- Or even for slinging around on chains!

Type:
Flexible- Multi-use.

Weapon Derivation:
Trench Knives and Chain whips.

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance:

The knvies are twin blades- Identical. The three gems in each are foci crystals for his aura, and glow a dark orange. His personal crest, of course, replaced the flame pattern on the blade. The two are sheathed on each of his thighs in dark leather scabbards- He's never seen without them, no matter where he is.

Form 1:
The knives are both on chains, which are hidden in the knuckle-guards of the hilts. At a flick of his wrist, the blades can move on these chains to switch sides- Making for easy transitioning from forehand to backhand grips.

Form 2:
Those hidden chains are actually quite long- And on command, come free entirely from the hilts, turning the daggers into excessively deadly chain whips... With very sharp blades on the end, of course.

Personality:
Rust is, generally, a pretty chill person- He likes to sleep, he likes to snooze, he loves to doze- basically, he's just a walking ball of sleepiness. But, this isn't to say he isn't interested in things around him- If one can spark his interest enough to get him out of bed, he proves to actually be quite hyper and inquisitive. When it comes to fighting, however, a drastic change comes over him- Being a Hunter is, as he puts it, in the family blood. He treats fighting like an artist treats his masterpiece- Every step, every stroke of his knives has to be perfect, has to flow. Often times his fighting and dancing have been compared, rather rightfully so. Put simply- He loves to sleep. And he lives to fight.

History:
Rust's family line isn't particularly famous- But there hasn't been a male in the family tree yet that didn't wind up being a Hunter, and the majority of women in the family also went down the Huntress's path. Rust was, of course, no different. Even before attending Signal academy, he spent most of his time training with his father and two older brothers. He already had his weapons by the time he joined Signal, and graduated with outstanding marks to go on to Beacon. His family life is, despite the family business, quite normal- He goes home for the holidays, everybody either hates each other or loves each other... Pretty average family, really. Excepting, of course, for the occasional spar that takes place on the dinner table in place of eating.

Emblem:


Color:
Rust Orange

Combat Style:
Comparable to dancing- Fluid, graceful, and yet quite lethal when applied appropriately.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Against balanced and quick fighters, Rust has the upper hand- As far as grace and agility go, he has it in spades. But against opponents of raw, brute strength, he struggles a bit without help from the team, simply because they tend to out-tank him, and his game will begin to slip in extended fights, due to his rather average stamina levels.

He also has a weakness for puppies and kittens- If it's fluffy and adorable, he simply has to stop and cuddle them.... No matter -where- he is. Even in the middle of a fight.... Well, unless he's taking it seriously enough.

Semblance:
Rust's semblance is, in a word, heat. This is not to be confused with fire- He can't create flame in the least. Rather, he simply creates pure heat waves, without the blaze. This keeps his body temperature abnormally high- At a point that would actually put most people in the hospital. If he applies focus to this ability, he can produce enough heat to turn rock molten, melt most metals, or give people third degree burns almost on contact. He has this, thankfully, well under control. He hasn't accidentally burned anybody since childhood. He is also able to channel this ability safely through the gems in Sear and Scorch, the blades enhanced with his own aura so that, despite reaching temperatures more than high enough, they will not melt when he heats them. When channeling his semblance, heat waves visibly radiate off of his body, warping the air around him like one might see over a grill in summer.

@KiltmanBagz

That's actually not a bad idea. If you think you can pull it off, go for it :)

@Vilhelm yep there's room. Give me just a few minutes to finish up my character and I shall review yours :)

@datadogie I accept your character. She's cute :)

[Vilhelm]

Cool beans, I'll keep an eye out for your decision and character~. ^^ Always did love RWBY

[CourierSix]

I am interested, but I want to see how posting in the IC will look before wholly dedicating myself. I don't want to get into something that's too much for me to handle or anything, if you catch my drift.

Of course. Is there something you're specifically looking for in terms of speed or is it anything I can help with?
