So I wasn't going to make a character for this, despite my interest in it, but then two things happened: I had a great idea for a mythology-based character, and it turns out there's a lot of JJBA fans here. So now I have no choice but to make a character. Aaaand I'll PM it to @ReaptheMusic, I think... just because.

Ama

Name: Ama Mountbatten

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Species: Human

APPEARANCE



Height: 5’3”

Weight: 110 lbs

Clothing Style:

Image

Ama is never seen without her hat, even when in her Beacon uniform, which she otherwise wears completely as she is told to. Outside classes, she wears a hooded jacket over a pink tank top and old worn-out black trousers. Most of her clothes are fairly battered, but she refuses to buy new ones out of laziness.

Hair Color: Reddish-pink

Eye Color: Brown

COMBAT

Weapon:

Image

Night Light: Ama’s weapon’s ranged form is a dust-based flamethrower, using fire dust to deliver both wide blasts capable of holding off groups and focused beams which can be used to precisely hit solo opponents.
When transformed into a melee weapon, the dust canister flips up and sets alight, giving her a flaming torch which she uses to deliver surprisingly fast, heavy blows to her opponents.

Semblance: Aura Sensitivity: When her Semblance is activated, Ama can sense and see the auras of creatures around her. When she focuses on a specific one, she can see how strong they are from a distance. She can also use this ability in combat by spotting tiny ‘weak points’ in her opponent’s aura, allowing her to wear it down quicker. Her ability does not work against the soulless Grimm, however.

Dust: She uses fire dust with her weapon, Night Light

Skills:

• Good at fighting large groups
• Powerful heavy attacks
• Skilled in first-aid

PERSONALIZED

Personality:

• Caring
• Strict
• Childish
• Stubborn
• Nervous

Skills:

• Good at baking
• Actually enjoys, and is good at, math
• Knows many home remedies for illnesses

Background: Ama’s mother was a back-alley doctor in Atlas. She grew up with a constant stream of people coming in and out of the house, often sliced and burned up, that just couldn’t afford to go to anywhere better. She was taught how to help people almost as soon as she could walk by herself, even if it was only fetching bandages. It was at a young age that she became a skilled medic, helping human and faunus alike as much as she possibly could.
The constant stream of injured soon began to wear on her, however. While she was willing to help people after they had been injured, it made more sense to her that she should stop it from happening in the first place. When she brought up the idea of being a huntress to her mother, she was dismissed immediately, and told never to think of it again, which only made her more determined to go, and she began sneaking off in the middle of the night to put together a weapon of her own. Without her mother’s knowledge, once she had completed it she left behind a note and a photograph of her smiling face and left for a junior hunters’ academy, where she trained until she got into Beacon.

Character Theme: Ama is based off of Florence Nightingale, a famous mathematician and medic known as the 'lady of the lamp'. This can be seen through her medical and mathematical skills, both things which Florence was famous for, as well as the caring and strict aspects of her personality. Ama’s weapon, Night Light is also based off of the idea of the ‘Lady with the Lamp’, both because of the name, and the fact that its melee form is based off of a medieval torch, which would be the predecessor of the old-fashioned ‘lamp’ used by Florence Nightingale.

Other: Jaune is the best

Revised my sheet as per GM instructions, will await further instructions and fix the broken images when I have time.

[ReaptheMusic]

Welp my Internet is busted atm. Can't do too much. @ the latest cs, she reminds me almost too much of that sniper girl from season 3..... I'll review it in full when I can.

Edit:
Well apparently it fixed itself right after i posted that... talleyhoe then.

[ReaptheMusic]

@Dragonfry This feels somewhat uninspired and I don't feel like I want to learn any more about her character. It's almost too cut and dry and I'm not excited to see where she is going. Since there are only so many slots left, I would prefer for someone more compelling to fill those roles unless you could prepare a CS that I feel you could really make stand out once the roleplay begins.

[Chickn]

Alright, just got around to updating my CS. I definitely fixed a lot of things, so hopefully it'll pass! Also, I changed his name. Russel is apparently the R in CDRL. Shows how much I pay attention to them.

@Chickn

Nobody gives a hot salty shit about CRDL.

[Chickn]

@Turboshitter You know, I think you're right. I did like Cardin's 5 seconds in one of the last episodes, though. Actually looked like he was a fighter.

[ReaptheMusic]

@Chickn I love your sincerity. I can tell you really are fond of this character you've created, I can relate to that a lot. There are only a few things I need to inquire about.

-His name needs to have something to do with color in there somewhere

-My partner in crime was president of the mixed martial arts club before they graduated college and currently a black belt in several of them. When you say he is versed 'several martial arts,' that's a very vague and BROAD term. It would mean leaps and bounds if you brushed up on the forms of a few types of martial art and selected a few you think would fit his fighting style. They all look different, and they all do different things, which is why I need to know what you're going for.

Since there's a lot I'll help you out. Do you want him to be free flowing and use imbalance to his advantage, or do you want him grounded, firm, immovable? Knowing what you want him to LOOK like as he's fighting helps when trying to select something out of all the millions of styles that come under the term 'martial art'

[Turboshitter]

May I put my CS in the characters tab now? :3

[ReaptheMusic]

@Turboshitter Nnnnope. Didn't realize it wa 100% ready for me to look at again yet. Let me go do that.

[Chickn]

@ReaptheMusic Yeah, making OCs for RWBY has been kind of my addiction, lately.

-In Gaelic, the name Rowan means "Little red one," or, "red." That should satisfy the criteria, right?

-Yeah, this was something that I wasn't too sure about what to put there in the first place. I'll definitely look into some of the different styles, and see if I can find some that are similar. A little research never hurt anyone.

I appreciate the help, for sure. My intentions were for Rowan to be sort of hit-and-run, where he'd attack quickly and lightly, and focus more on evading hits rather than just tanking them. (Obviously it wouldn't always work, but this would be an ideal scenario).

[ReaptheMusic]

@Turboshitter

*sigh* no, still not good enough. Here, Have some more pointers...

Notes

JK go put it in the character tab. Expect a gift soon. Welcome to Vale.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@Turboshitter Nnnnope. Didn't realize it wa 100% ready for me to look at again yet. Let me go do that.

@ReaptheMusic

In that case, my character sheet is 100% ready.

[ReaptheMusic]

@Chickn Evasion? mm, try some of the Shaolin Monk styles, they focused on pacifist tactics I think.

[ReaptheMusic]

@Mr Allen J I appreciate it very much that you took the time to really consider how to connect your character to lore. That being said, the same thing I said about Rowan applies here. Martial Arts is too vague, too broad. What STYLES were implemented? What did she focus on most? Why?

@ReaptheMusic

Well, my problem was that I had no idea if there's actual martial arts in the world of RWBY, but let's just say Muay Thai.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

just to be clear, I made the edits.
