“A quote...? Miss, do I look like the poetic type to you?”
-Adamah Fulgurate

Name: Adamah Fulgurate

Team: AASH 'Ash'

Birth Date: January 31st

Age: 34

Race: White

Gender: Male

Designation: Vale Border Guardian

-=-=-

In Depth Appearance: Many have described Adam, upon meeting him for the first time, as a giant among men, and they cannot be blamed. Adam is just shy of seven feet tall and three hundred pounds. His stature is stocky, muscular but not at all without fat. He has coarse, red-tinged brown hair, murky blue eyes, and a prodigious mustache. Two moles appear on his forehead, right above his left eyebrow, very close together. His eyebrows are thick and dark, his nose slightly upturned, and his chin cleft. Adam's combat attire is baggy, dark blue pants crisscrossed with black, black steel-toed shoes with similarly colored socks, a burnt orange double-rope belt with an aluminum clasp, a nut-brown cloth fauld, and a black, loose-fitting martial arts gi with the sleeves rolled up.

Equipment: Adam's prized weapon is the Pillar of Earth. It is a colossal club more like a giant, rectangular bat. Its four outward surfaces are coated with broad pyramid-shaped spikes, no more than an inch long. The steel handle can be unlatched from the huge club part head and withdrawn to be used like a hollow metal pipe, able to be swing much faster and more precisely than the full weapon. Not being made at a Hunter academy, this weapon has no fancy alternate modes or hidden guns. It does, however, have a cylindrical compartment inside the head, and when a switch is flipped on the handle the top part of the club will swing open and dispense coconut-sized bombs made with dust and rocks. A remote on Adam's person can set off the bombs' detonators individually or all at once; the trigger mechanisms' location inside the rock bombs make it very difficult for an opponent to explode the bombs prematurely.

Semblance: Adam's semblance, called Gravity, derives from his ability to drawn friends and family close to him, thanks to his heart. Adam can power up his own personal gravitational field, drawing things gradually toward him. With focus, he can condense this gravity into a much stronger cone. Aside from pulling things in, he can also use it to mess with projectiles and other things that fly through the air. Lastly, a focused gravity cone can be 'held' to keep pulled-in objects in place, and then 'burst' to send them flying back in a desired direction. This power enables Adam to defend against enemies with lots of projectiles and dust, who he would otherwise really struggle against.

Abilities: from an early age, Adam was tough and powerful. These traits only magnified as he grew up, and nowadays Adam sports incredible physical strength. This being something that he's never dedicated too much time to, he spent a lot of his training as a kingdom guardian trying to improve his flexibility and mobility, and as such he's not a slouch in the running, rolling, jumping, and even flipping departments. There might be more physically capable individuals out there, not counting those with strength-related semblances, but Adam has yet to meet them.

-=-=-

Personality: In many ways, Adam is larger than life. He is confident and proud, with a substantial presence and voice, but not egotistical. Though capable of terrifying seriousness at times, he prefers to be a jolly, good-hearted goofball, the very definition of gregarious. Games (particularly sports), novelties, and trivialities thrill him. Not many full-grown men spout puns, but Adam is one of them, particularly since he became a dad. He cares deeply for his family and for his friends, extending his remarkable protective instincts to them. Despite this, classifying Adam as some sort of hero would be a mistake. What Adam believes in gives him the courage to fight like a man and a soldier, but not necessarily like a Hunter. Adam hates to be upset, but if something provokes him, he tends to heat up quickly. He's given to finding a routine and sticking with it, not being the most flexible. People who disagree with him or have problems with him will be tolerated, but not accepted. At his worst, Adam can be poorly-mannered, temperamental, and brutish. Those who know him, however, can attest to the great size of Adam's heart, both literally and figuratively.

Place of Origin: Palisade Town, Vale

History: Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, son, daughter. The Fulgurate family line, though without a drop of noble blood, grand estate, legendary heirloom, or other such prestige, boasts a certain pride. For generations the entire clan has served, manning the distant northeastern wall of Vale as guardians of the realm. This heritage, unceremonious as it might be, has held true across the decades, and with it a glowing and beloved statistic: no Fulgurate ever died on the job. Into this bloodline Adamah was born in the sprawling but well-defended border town of Palisade, a settlement out in the sticks by any Vale citydweller's measure. Bearing the typical impressive height of the Fulgurate family, as well as its typical lack of wanderlust that might otherwise send an adventurous spirit away from the walls and into the bustling heart of the kingdom, Adam nevertheless proved to be an oddity, exhibiting a quality that none of his kin could match: joy.

Adam was possessed of a contagious spirit, but one entirely jovial and gregarious. He met his fair share of challenges on the road of life, but never despaired to find himself alone, for his friends were many. Palisade natives, veterans of the wars, cityfolk, faunus—none were deprived of the offer of his comradeship. Growing naturally into the role of a guardian, he became especially close with three friends, and worked alongside them tirelessly to keep their portion of the kingdom free from invasion. However, he grew closer still to Evangeline Orinj, an immigrant to Palisade from Vale's city, having recently been kicked out of Beacon. The two discovered that they were inseparable, and after a little more than a year of dating, they were married on a grassy hill. They had two sons, and lived happily, if a little on the edge.

A decade passed, and much happened. The family was struck with tragedy; the wonderful record of the Fulgurates ended. But the family slowly recovered, and moved on as best it could. When the announcement of the Vytal Festival reached them, Adamah rediscovered excitement. Convincing his three warrior friends to tag along, they enlisted in the tournament as representatives of Vale, and perhaps the fighters most representative of their people of them all.

Relations with other characters: His fellow guardians, Adva, Serafine, and Hevel. All are good friends, used to cooperation, though not to the degree of a team of hunters. He has numerous other friends, and can make them easily. Most dear to his heart is his wife, Evangeline, a fellow kingdom guardian, and his seven-year-old son.

Extra:
Like Jaune, Adam has a lot of aura.
'Adamah' is Hebrew for earth, which calls to mind the color brown. Adva, a teammate, is water-related. 'Serafine' is Hebrew for fire, with its bright orange. 'Hevel' means a breath of air.
Adam did not, of course, receive his training from a Hunter academy, and will rely on his potent natural abilities, experience, and his powerful weapon to compensate against younger, better-trained opponents.

My semblance would be sneezing at gale forces

@Lugubriouserm, your character looks good, but could you remove the team and teammates? If we don't have enough players to fill out the team your characters been assigned to, then you can work with them to fill in the spot(s), but that doesn't come until later.

@pyroman

That'd be fine, I suppose. I had assumed that the teams would be comprised of characters from the same place, like all the Beacon students who were their team at school would be their team during the tournament. I can't imagine any of these 17-year-olds would appreciate getting paired with a giant from the sticks with no formal training. But no problem, I'll change it for now.

[Kouki]

Hmmm...J...A...K....
OH!
If we had an L, we could form Team JAKL

[Raijinslayer]

*Throws hat in* Could have an L . . . not sure yet, but he'll be a he and either a Wolf Faunus ,Gila Monster Faunus, or Komodo Dragon Faunus. Decisions . . . Decisions.

[pyroman]

@Raijinslayerfeel free to make a character raijin, but also remember that you aren't obligated to be on that team, or even from vale if you don't want to!

[Kouki]

Yeah, I'm not the GM, take my ideas very un-seriously...I forget the word for it.

[The_written_John]

I'll be using my old RWBY oc that i've used on a few RWBY rps here, here's hoping it doesn't crash in the first month! a lot of rwby rps tend to D:

Eminence

“Desperate to reveal, yet desperate to hide. To show ones own self, is to leave everything else behind..."

"I have yet to make that ultimate choice.”
-Eminence

OOC:

|Eminence Manchester|

|Team|

TBA

|Birth Date|

19/7

|Age|

17

|Race|

Saint Bernard Canine Faunus(Hidden)

|Gender|

Male

|Designation|

Student

Appearance:



|Appearing as an averaged physique'd, 6 foot tall, incredibly thick purple long haired male, with healthy Caucasian skin and a pretty face, Eminence wears a colourful purple and gold trimmed buttoned tailcoated jacket, with a white and purple trimmed shirt beneath, with a silver necklace tied loosely around his neck. He wears a set of formal purple leggings, the same colour as his jacket, with a pair of beautiful white formal shoes, purple soled.

Eminences faunus parts, i.e, his floppy Saint Bernard canine ears and poofy tail are hidden away, with Eminence's ears hidden underneath his thick set of hair, and his tail conveniently hidden in his leggings, with the tail-coat of his jacket further hiding the tail away.|

Weapon Name:

Claudia

Weapon Appearance/Function:

Appearing as a large two handed Zweihander made of incredibly durable sharp metals with a golden jeweled metallic hilt, with golden markings running along each side of the blade, these markings are actually comprised of dust forged into the blade, which turns the Zweihander into an incredibly vicious high frequency blade, vibrating to add to its cutting potential, running on dust, when he activates the dust, it allows his blade to slice through nearly any type of material for a short time.

The weapon can then break apart at the tip of the sword, sliding back and breaking apart to slide against thearm of Eminence, quickly twisting and merging itself over his left arm, to forge an arm cannon from his fist to his elbow, allowing him to fire concentrates explosions of dust from within, allowing him to cause great damage over a large area, though the weapon is show and requires precise aiming to execute effectively, and is easily dodge-able by incredibly fast opponents.

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance:

In its sheathed appearance, Eminence simply sheath his zweihander form into a glistening white metallic sheath on his back.

Form(s):

Form 1: Zweihander
Form 2: Arm cannon

Wanting to protect those around him and see his friends unharmed, what makes Eminence special is that using his own Aura, eminence can conjure a powerful shield before himself made of his energy to block and stop incoming attacks, allowing him to jump in the way of enemy strikes heading for either himself or his friends and absorb the damage using his Aura Shield, though this isn't as far as his power can go.

Disliking those who beat down others, those with malice, Eminence can build up energy with each blow he takes using his energy shield, and dish out even greater damage by expelling this energy outward using a massive laser like beam, absorbing the damage he would take and dealing that same power outward in retaliation, as such, this ability is used for defense, with the ability to go offensive once enough damage is delt.

|Personality|

Gentle, kind and compassionate, who loves everyone, even those considered "lesser" by society, Eminence isn't what you'd expect from a rich boy, he isn't a selfish arrogant brat, but instead a loving if somewhat naive male who simply wishes to make everyone happy. Eminence is a gentleman in his mannerisms, showing a love for serving others to make them happy, which happens to be strange given the fact you'd think the rich would be the ones to BE served, this just goes to show his very selfless nature.

An individual who hates narcissists and those who think they're better than everyone else, Eminence knows what its like to be ridiculed and despised for being something you can't control, though because he happens to be a faunus, it forces him to become very pensive, always pondering on what peoples opinions would be of him if they discovered who he actually was, and as such is constantly questioning about hiding who he is away from others, or keeping his status in his rich house hold.

|Place of Origin|

Mistral

|History|

Son to the current heir of the Manchesters, a rival family contesting against the Schnnee Dust Company for dust. Situated in Mistral, and being one of the richest families on the continent, Eminence was born into a very powerful line, and as such would be forced to follow in his families footsteps, forcing him to train in their style of combat, forced to do what they say, forced to look respectful and beautiful at all times, Eminence never could do many things on his own, without someone dictating his every choice.

Though nobody in his family, only his mother, and a few hand picked servants know of his Faunus heritage, his mother having died shortly after his birth, was a Faunus, who gave birth to the boy away from the prying eyes of his father, for fear of being exiled or executed for being different, his mother hid her faunus features just like Eminence does, and by hiding her Faunus features, hid away the fact that she was of a different race, a race which Eminence's racist father despised, and as such, she got pregnant with his child, with his father never knowing that the child was a faunus, thanks to the work of Miss Holly, a maid whom loyally served Miss Claudia, Eminences mother from her childhood.

Acquiring a very costly education, and schooled by one of the most prestigious hunting schools in Mistral, Eminences grades were always top notch, both because he wanted to do good and the fear of failing such a large corporation, which he thought of as a noose tied around his neck, fearful of what the company would do to him if they found him failing or finding out about who he actually was, for years eminence did his hardest to train, though when he trained, and traveled around mistral, he always envied those who weren't of a higher class, the freedom, the joy the casual love they all show for one another made him weep, desiring such a thing himself, eager to meet an actual friend for once, which was one of the main reasons he decided to become a hunter, along with wanting to keep the world safe from Grimm.

Now joining a proper academy, pretending he is simply a human, Eminence heads into his new life, eager to learn and eager to hopefully meet someone who could trust him, meet others who share his ideals and meet people he hasn't met before. It was going to be a long... interesting year.

|Extra|

To be honest, if I were to personally think of my own personal Semblance, it would be to heal people. With a fear of death, saving others would give my own personal self more worth, and make other people much more happy and relaxed.
