IC: Parents and Friends the rpg

@Kaithas@Forsythe

Ivy looked Diamond over curiously, eyeing her over for a moment, this had to be Diamond, Emerald had described her teammates to both her parents in various emails and phone calls, and this girl fit the bill, except without the hat that Emerald had mentioned she was fond off.

Of course she didn't take too much time analyzing the girl, after all it would be rude just to stare at her silently, she gave Diamond a warm and inviting smile. "I am Ms. Felicia yes. You must be Emerald's roommate, Diamond, she's mentioned you a handful of times in her calls and letters." Every word from Ivy's mouth was sweet and very sincere sounding. Her smile wavered slightly as she gave a look of concern. "I...I heard that you kids got some serious injuries on your last mission. Are you all alright? Is Emerald alright? She told us she was okay but a mother still worries..." Ivy's eyes widened slightly. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to start bombarding you with questions. Here, have a cookie, I baked enough for everyone." She opened the basket in her hand and pulled out a fresh looking cookie, offering it to Diamond.

Now normally Andrew was one to pay attention to his surroundings, it was a thing you learned to do as a huntsman, it was like instinct. However he had barely noticed the conversation between Diamond and his wife, his eyes were fixed ahead at the older man and middle aged woman having a somewhat intense conversation in front of them. He hadn't recognized her at first, it had been well over twenty years after all, but could it be her? No, don't be ridiculous Andrew, she just looks like her. What are the odds she'd be here of all places? On this very day? He had to admit the odds were ridiculous...but then he saw her glance at him, the panicked expression in her face gave it all way, she recognized him, it had to be her.

The real question was, why was she so distressed and panicked from seeing him after all these years? It wasn't like they'd left on bad terms, it had been a one night thing, before he even met Ivy.

She obviously knew something he didn't, either that or there was some sort of misunderstanding. Either way Andrew reckoned there was no point in just staring, he was gonna figure this out.

And the best way to do that was the straight forward way, just ask. He walked right up to them. "Uh, hello there. Now forgive me if I'm mistaken, but that look on your face tells me you knew me and I knew you once upon a time. Am I right? Or am I just making an ass of myself here, I tend to do that from time to time." He chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head.

Firing Range

Emerald could barely contain her excitement, actually, she couldn't contain it. She was bouncing on her toes as she adjusted the prototype gauntlets, they were certainly a bit heavier than her old weapons, but with a little practice she figured she would adjust quickly to the new weight. She aimed the weapons to try them out, it was a little harder to keep them steady than she expected, though she hadn’t completely recovered from her injuries so she assumed that was the reason.

“Okay I’m ready!” She announced, giving Gren a smile and a thumbs up. She got into a battle stance, ready to open fire upon the targets, it would like watching fireworks at th-

Her scroll made a mewing sound, she lowered her weapons and engaged the safeties on her weapons as she looked at her scroll, she had a new message. “Ooooh it’s from Diamond, let’s see here…” It wasn’t a long message, something about going out and training. Emerald quickly sent a text back, saying she wasn’t sure if she’d have time because her parents would be arriving soon. Emerald’s eyes widened, “Oh that’s right, my parents could be here at any time now!” She needed to hurry up with the weapon testing.

“Alright I’m ready for real this time Gren! Here we-“ It was about then Skyra arrived and greeted them. “Oh hey Skyra! What’s up? I'm about to blow shit up with these new weapons!”

Then in an almost comical fashion, Emerald accidently fired a rocket from her right gauntlet, the rocket promptly coiled with one of the targets, causing a loud explosion. Emerald looked on in awe. "Explosions are so pretty~"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile in the not too distant head office of Beacon academy, two faunus parents have arrived, they look both lost and concerned as parents tend to be when looking for their kid in a school they aren’t familiar with, and as a bonus they seem to be talking amongst themselves and everyone can hear them clearly.

“Dear…maybe we should give her a call?” The female of the couple said softly, sort of like honey. Her appearance screamed cat ears and likes to wear dresses that match her green eyes. On top of that she had a basket with good smells coming from it. It was like watching a scene from Anne of Green Gables, minus the cat features.

“And miss the fun of surprising her? You know how she likes surprises Ivy.” The man said, he was armed and dressed in gear that screamed ‘huntsman’ any day of the year. He certainly had the look of one who had been in many skirmishes with Grimm out in the wilderness. He had red hair mixed with feathers that betrayed his Faunus heritage as well, his blue eyes looked into his wife’s green ones. “I know you’re worried about her, hell so am I, but we have to let her grow up a little, she’s not living at home anymore.”

Ivy looked down at the basket in her hands. “I know…but Andrew…she played off her injuries like they weren’t serious…we both saw the medical report…she almost died!” Her eyes watered a bit, if they hadn’t lived in such a remote location they would have come to beacon sooner. Her poor little girl…
Andrew put an arm around her shoulder to comfort her. “I know Ivy…I’ll have a talk with her about that. We both will.”

Violet Steel – The Emerald Forest –
A mysterious camp site with mysterious people

Violet looked through her spyglass from the tree branch she was perched upon. There was no sign of Grimm yet, just the endless forest of trees and the animals that dwelled in it. She was honestly surprised, she really thought by now they would hav-

The sound of screaming deer as it was torched to death by the biggest pyromaniac in all of Remnant ruined her train of thought. His name was Igni Alev, he has big, bald, and ugly. But he also wore a gas mask so who could really judge his face? The important part was he wielded a terrifying monstrosity of a weapon that breathed fire like a dragon. So yeah, a flamethrower.

"So, who wants dinner?" Came his deep voice, masked by the mask he wore as he breathed heavily. The deer was still screaming, but it had collapsed on the ground as it burned.

"You fucking dumbass!" A female voice hissed, though it was not Violet's. "You're supposed to let me kill it first BEFORE YOU START COOKING!" Her chocolate colored rabbit ears twitched irritably as she threw her little hissy fit, swinging her grenade launcher around as she did carelessly, it was a wonder she hadn't blown herself up yet. But that was Chocolate Newling for you, a tad unhinged. The deer had thankfully stopped screaming, though it looked a little overdone.

"You two need to cool it, we'll be overrun with Grimm in no time with all the noise you're making." The silver haired lizard faunus spoke calmly, but with a sense of superiority. "It's a miracle you crack heads are even alive, your stupidity should have killed you off years ago." Silver's lizard tail twitched as she sat on a tree stump, polishing her rifle by the camp fire.

"Well that's the idea, isn't it?" The only human girl of the group asked with a cheerful expression. Cora Primrose leaned against her massive claymore, her pink hair contrasting her blue-green outfit almost painfully. "We are here to catch some Grimm, riiiiight?" Silver simply rolled her eyes in annoyance, the other two were two busy arguing and yelling not so vague threats at each other to notice Cora.

Paladin Lightbringer would have none of this however, he stepped in between Igni and Chocolate to prevent them from killing each other. "Now my friends, this is not how comrades in arms should act!" The two had a hard time arguing against this because well, Paladin was a giant of a man wearing golden armor and wielding a big, golden hammer. How would you argue with that? "When the monsters of darkness come we will be the only ones to stand against it! We must be strong and courageous! Like the knights of old we will shine in the light..." He continued to ramble on about knighthood and something about dragons.

Wilson Black, the gorilla looking Faunus and the last member of this odd group, let out an angry growl. Though a genius scientist that he was, he also had the nastiest temper of the six. He almost crushed the device he had been trying to work on despite the distractions, which only made him all the angrier. He got up and started to approach Paladin, Igni, and Chocolate, the look on his gorilla like face most terrifying. "If you...don't shut up this instant..." He breathed heavily. "I will BREAK YOU WITH YOUR OWN LIMBS!"

Violet watched this all transpire with some disbelief. The higher ups wanted her to work with these weirdos? Well no matter, she would be rid of them as soon as their mission was complete. They were almost too perfect for this job, they were performing their roles perfectly whether they realized it or not. Violet silently left the camp, heading into the forest. There would be Grimm heading toward the camp soon enough, and she would lead them straight too it.

OOC: You can find the profiles of the NPCs in the Violet post here if you so desire to look at them. I put a lot of work in them actually o.o.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Hey look it's Emerald's parents wow!

Name: Andrew Felicia

Age: 45

Gender: Male

Race: Faunus (Osprey)

Weapon: He wields a solid black katana, it doesn’t do anything fancy, it’s exactly as it appears. He also carries a sleek looking shotgun, a bit more complex than his katana, it can be loaded with dust and normal ammunition and it packs a punch.

Specialty: He’s a jack of all trades quite frankly, though he’d make a lousy tank. He can be a close range fighter just as easily as be a ranged sharpshooter.

Semblance: His semblance is one that runs in the Felicia family. Like his daughter Emerald, he can control and command the wind in a variety of ways. However, he has far more control and range of abilities than his daughter, to the extend that he can make himself as light as air itself and fly freely in the sky.

Personality: Andrew is a fun loving, carefree soul. He has a generally positive attitude towards life, and people find him easy to get long with. He never picks fights, though he can certainly end them. When it comes to protecting those he loves however, there is a fierceness to him that you do not want to be on the receiving end of. He will come to the aid of anyone who needs it, even complete strangers.

Color: Scarlet

Emblem: The eye of a hawk painted red.

Appearance: He’s a tall, muscular man, in great shape for his age. His hair is an excellent shade of red, mixed with feathers that give away his faunus heritage. His red hair makes his blue eyes stand out, but not in a bad way. His clothing is never anything particularly fancy or flashy, just well worn huntsman gear and armor that are good for traveling in.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Ivy Felicia

Age: 43

Gender: Female

Race: Faunus (Cat)

Personality: She is overwhelming nice and sweet, very soft spoken. In fact it would be easy to argue that it’s impossible for her to raise her voice, no one has ever heard her yell. At best she might scold you lightly and then give you a cookie she baked, or perhaps put a bandage on your booboo and give you a glass of water. The possibilities are endless.

Appearance: Ivy looks a lot like an older, much more mature Emerald. She has the distinctive traits of a faunus, black cat ears and a tail, along with matching black hair that’s long and straight. Her eyes are a big and expressive green, they can make you feel calm and at home if you let them. Ivy almost always wears a dress of some kind, typically green in color. Like mother like daughter.

Yeah I think it's safe to say volume 4 sucked.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@CrimmyI'm for it.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Did someone say gender bending?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Heyyy I'm still alive, classes started for me so I've been mostly focused on that. I'll probably get a Emerald post up sometime this weekend though.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter
