"Hey, do you know where we are? And if you do can you point me to the nearest exit please?" Tylissa looked over towards the person who asked this, but was too confused by his presence to answer the question. Unlike the two figures that were combating each other, this one seemed somewhat normal for what a human was supposed to look like. And although he may have looked young for one, this was definitely an adult that Tylissa was looking at, judging by the fact that he had to slouch in order put his eye level to meet her own.

"Huh. And here I was thinking that I was too old to be affected..." Tylissa noted aloud.

It was here that yet another man had showed up, having appeared from behind the both of them. This man had an attire that wouldn't be out of place in the military, which would make Tylissa wonder if he'd served the country at some point.

"WOAH!! THERE'S AN ARMY BOY IN HERE, TOO??!!" Tylissa exclaimed, "WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON??!!"

This in turn was only met by a shushing motion by the supposed military man in question. It seemed as though he would've made said motion either way, but he'd definitely would've with how loud Tylissa was back then. He then gestured for both Tylissa and the other guy to follow him. Tylissa was reluctant; after all, she hadn't even seen or heard enough about the fight to determine who the good guy was, and the spells they were firing off were an amazing spectacle to behold. But something about that man gave Tylissa a sense that she wouldn't be safe without him nearby. It was likely the fact that military personnel were usually more aware of their exact surroundings than civilians were... or, even if that wasn't the case, they'd at least be more capable of adapting on the fly.

...

Sure enough, everyone was far enough from the fight that there'd be no chance that they be caught in the crossfire. This was partially to Tylissa's dismay, as she really wanted to watch the two figures duke it out and see the good guy come out on top... although not knowing who was the good guy was making it harder to root for either one of them. In that respect, perhaps it'd be better if she didn't know who the victor would be. And if the good guy was defeated, who knew where the bad guy would go next? In any case...

"I'm guessing you two were also dropped into this world; through a mirror while you were dreaming, right?" asked the military man. That got Tylissa thinking, back to when that dream all started.

"Hey, yeah, that mirror. I remember reaching out towards it. Found out that my hand could phaze through it, then my hand got stuck; couldn't move it all. And then something dragged my whole arm in and took the rest of me...!" while she was describing what'd happened to her, she realized that she completely forgot to ask the obvious question, and slowly lulled her head over to one side as she looked over towards the military man, "Wwwwaaaaiiiiit aaaaa minute, how do you know about a mirror in a dream?"

It was just as she turned away from the window that Xinyue found her own face being rubbed against by another faunus' tail... a sight that was none too happy about. He may have been quick to realize his blunder, but his apologizing for it barely helped matters at all. Now, aside from having to remove any traces of fur contact from her face, Xinyue's thoughts would be plagued by the prospect of having to deal with an oaf on her team. Considering all the misfortune she had to deal with in her life, that was the last thing she needed on her mind.

"Next time, pay attention," Xinyue stated simply. She seemed surprisingly calm for someone who had half a mind to scold the faunus, but her tone of voice was still sour. She did not appreciate a colossal mess of fur protruding from just above the rear end rubbing against her like that, and it tended to reflect better on her conscience had she made that known than not.

Xinyue looked away again, wanting to forget about that incident as quickly as she was able.

R W B Y :: G R I M M T I D I N G S

I'm going into the city center in about 10 or so minutes, and I'll likely be spending a few hours in there. I'll post when I get back.

R W B Y :: G R I M M T I D I N G S

While most of the other students on-board the vessel had already got up, moved around and chatted with one another, Xinyue Cao Tang remained seated for the duration of the vessel's time in the air, her sorrowing gaze transfixed on the outside world on the opposing side of the window next to her. It was more or less all same; more grasslands upon more grasslands upon more grasslands. While she had to admit there were some beautiful sceneries that Vale had to offer, Xinyue was not all that impressed overall. And yet she still found herself looking at the far yonder below regardless, unwilling to tear herself away from it all for even a moment.

A lot of that came down to the fact that, to an extent at least, Vale's outskirts reminded Xinyue of her true region of birth; Vacuo. While the desert region could been seen as little more than an abhorring overgrown sandbox to some people, it had more of a rustic feeling that Vale couldn't compare to. And seeing that made Xinyue reminisce about her time Angel Celeste, the nun who raised her while her birth mother was nowhere to be found at the time. These memories in turn spurred more, this time consisting of her brief tenure at Mirage Academy.

...

One would think that Xinyue wouldn't have such a great time at Mirage Academy, specifically because of all the human students around her. Incidentally, a human was known to do one of two things to a faunus in Mirage Academy; either A.) they'd jeer and make fun of them, occasionally pulling and tugging at the specific body part that made up their animal trait, or B.) they'd leave them alone from a physical standpoint, but spread rumors about them to each other behind their backs, some investing more effort into preventing the "topic of discussion" from overhearing said rumors than others. Xinyue of course fell into the second category due to her naturally intimidating nature... which was only presentable because of her likeness to her birth mother, whose crimes had led her to be incarcerated inside the Vacuo Correctional Facility. However, while she quickly tired of the rumors being spread about her, she wasn't about to let them get to her. Right at that first year, Xinyue stood out from all of Mirage Academy's students, being the first to unlock her Aura, and even managing to squeeze out an activation of her Semblance within the later stages of the year.

Unfortunately, her prowess only put a target on Xinyue's back, as known White Fang members had been trying to recruit her for their nefarious deeds. They had a tremendous gall in attempt to recruit her straight out of Mirage Academy like they did, but apparently they did their homework; they'd noted that Mirage Academy was understaffed in the teacher department, and that was a weakness that they took advantage of. Feeling an unholy sense about them, Xinyue denied the White Fang members of her servitude, but they would not take no for an answer, and their persistence was beginning to aggravate her. In the end, after being made aware of the situation, the headmaster decided that the best course of action was to have Xinyue transferred to Signal Academy.

...

Now, after graduating Signal Academy, Xinyue found herself on this vessel, which was to fly all the way to Beacon Academy and still had yet to reach its destination. And out of everyone that was also on the vessel, Xinyue could find herself stuck with any three of them. This worried Xinyue, as she spent all that time in Mirage and Signal Academies focusing on improving her own capabilities... and she was never a people person to begin with. However, there was only so much that even someone of Xinyue's capabilities could do on their own, and having others to fight with was just as integral to being a Huntress as having others to fight for. And besides that, there was still the rare possibility that the role of leadership could fall on her lap, and in the event that should happen, that prospect alone could be worth the trouble of being stuck with people that she may or may not wind up despising.

Xinyue remained in her seat for now. If someone wanted to go out of their way to talk to her, then fine; who was she to deny them an interaction with her? But she would rather have gone into her designated teammate assignment blind. After all, trying to gauge who was likable and who wasn't could always risk setting one up for disappointment in the long run.

R W B Y :: G R I M M T I D I N G S

I don't generally mind what team Xinyue ultimately becomes a part of; just as long as it contains a Lightning Dust user somewhere.

That said, I like the way XDAC sounds. The X and the D in particular have a nice ring to them when they're put together like they are, here.

R W B Y :: G R I M M T I D I N G S

Just added Xinyue's sheet to the character tab since I completely forgot to do that :/

As far as posting goes though, I'll get one up tomorrow... most likely in the afternoon/evening.

Xinyue Cao Tang, the Taoist Tiger Faunus of Vacuo

"Hate has no place in this world. If you will not strive for peace alongside me, then I can only hope that you've made yours..."

Personal Information

---

Name: Xinyue Cao Tang
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Country of Origin: Vacuo
Race: Faunus - Tiger
Team: N/A
Motivation: To establish peace between humanity and faunus-kind, and dismantle all sources of negativity in the world.

Appearance & Physique:

Xinyue is shockingly tall for a young woman of any caliber, standing at a grand total of 188cm (6' 2") tall. She has considerable muscle mass to her as well, weighing in at 77kg (169lbs), and sports a BWH ratio of 21-17-24 if measured in inches and 53-43-61 if measured in centimeters. Her hair has three colors to it, those being silver, black and purple, and even when tied into double buns, it's long enough to reach down to the middle of her back. Those three colors also present on her tail, with what alternating black and purple stripes. Xinyue wears a black and white china dress with detached sleeves. Xinyue makes no effort to hide her tail or prevent it from being on full display at any time; after all, she for one is proud of her faunus heritage, and no amount of shunning from any human parties can change that. The pupils of Xinyue's eyes tend to compress horizontally whenever something aggravates her; this is a genetic trait that she likely got from her birth mother.

Personality:

Unsurprisingly, Xinyue is a religious individual, who views herself as a holy warrior fighting to erase evil from the world of Renmant. She takes great pride in herself as a competent Huntress with a noble goal, that being to spread peace between humanity and faunus-kind, and make bigotry a thing of the past. Xinyue's devotion to denounce all negativity in the world is certainly admirable, and while naysayers may question whether such a reform is available to be procured, she's of the opinion that substance is only impossible if it's thought to be as such.

As far as her individuality goes, that biggest thing that makes Xinyue hard to get along with is because she suffers from a certain complex about her others would describe as being "holier-than-thou". She seems to take personal offense upon witnessing an act of taboo taking place in her vicinity, and she'll confront whomever done such a deed without a moment's hesitation and speak her mind in that regard. The problem with that is that she expects people to rescind their actions too quickly, with what her attitude naturally coming across as though she's trying to coerce them into it; and the more adamantly they refrain, the more severely her patience wears thin. Xinyue also has a hard time forgiving people, and can bottle a grudge for someone who'd made themselves in the wrong for the longest of times. The thought of possibly damaging her own conscience just by forsaking the wrong person is a bitter pill for her to swallow, and can be even more bitter in comparison to her pride.

However, although it may seem hypocritical for her to pass judgment on those whose staircases of sin she may or may not have followed them up, and while her hot-blooded nature may not be ideal for a peacemaker to have, Xinyue's heart is in the right place... some of the time. She just needs to be able to rationalize and stave off her emotions, and her goal of peace all of Remnant could very well be within arm's reach.

Biography:

Discarded at birth, Xinyue Cao Tang was found at the doorstep of a church that, although in the same region as the titular region that was Vacuo, had been secluded from the kingdom's capital city through sheer location alone. The teenage girl that had found Xinyue, a human nun in training by the name of Angel Celeste, had taken to look after the abandoned baby out of pity, and although she'd been trying to Xinyue's birth mother for the longest time, Angel's lack of success in the endeavor led her to raising Xinyue as her own child. Of course, the other nuns weren't too happy with Angel's decision of using the church as a roof over Xinyue's head, especially not after learning that Xinyue was a faunus. But given the situation, the head nun reluctantly gave the OK... on the condition that Xinyue would behave herself and Angel not be too distracted from her work. Angel tried her best to comfort Xinyue, who became depressed due to constant feelings of alienation.

Xinyue spent twelve years in that church's residence, until finally word of her true birth mother's existence came to light. It turned out that she had been on the run for all that time, eventually getting arrested by police after she gotten into a bar fight with a human man, who she mauled to death with her right arm that took the form of a tiger's claw. Thankfully, Angel owned a pick-up truck that she could use to take Xinyue over to the Vacuo Correctional Facility where her mother had been detained, since it would be much too far to get there by foot. The journey would be dangerous either way as well, as the outskirts of the Vacuo Correctional Facility was, unsurprisingly, heavily infested with the dark creatures of Grimm. Seeing the Grimm for the first time in her life frightened Xinyue, as she clutched a little too high and a little too tight on Angel's chest, which made her uncomfortable. But although she had to admit that she too was fearful of the prospect of encountering the Grimm, Angel managed to reassure Xinyue that, so long as they did nothing to attract the Grimm's attention, they'd be able to return home unscathed.

Supposing she'd be less afraid of the Grimm if she knew more about them, Xinyue decided that she'd look into enrolling at Mirage Academy, the preliminary combat school that the citizens of Vacuo would attend in preparation for their training as a Huntsman or Huntress at Shade Academy; much like Signal Academy was to Beacon Academy and Sanctum Academy was to Haven Academy. Xinyue was doing very well in her first year Mirage Academy and the partial amount of time she spent in the second, but unfortunately, she and several other well-achieving faunus students had been approached by known members of the White Fang. These White Fang members seemed to have researched into Mirage Academy, noting that it was severely understaffed, and aiming to exploit this weakness through means of a mass recruitment scheme. For her own safety, Xinyue was asked to transfer over to one of the other preliminary schools and, after talking to Angel about the situation, she decided that she'd move over to Signal Academy. Finally, after completing the rest of the year that she'd missed out on at Mirage Academy, Xinyue was ready to take on Beacon Academy, and continue her training as a competent Huntress.

Weapon Name: Arcus Splinters

Weapon Breakdown

The Arcus Splinters are a pair of weapons that normally take the form of crossbows that are small enough they can each be wielded in a single hand. However, if an enemy draws within melee range of Xinyue, they automatically begin to transform in order to resemble power drills, which she can use to pulverize her enemies' bones in a pinch. When using the Arcus Splinters this way, Xinyue will usually target the arms in order to disarm someone, or the legs to cripple their movement, allowing her to effortlessly maneuver herself back out of range. Whilst in their main form, the Arcus Splinters can fire wooden bolts, metal bolts and three different types of crystallized Dust bolts: Fire, Water and Earth. All of these types of bolts are stored in magazines that can hold up to 10 at a time. This greatly improves the Arcus Splinters' firing rate, as Xinyue had fitted the magazines so that the bolts loaded into the bow as it strung up without any mechanical complications.

While the wooden bolts are the least time-consuming to forge, their damage output is lackluster, only being truly effective against the Grimm with lessened endurance such as Beowulfs and Boarbatusks, and enemy Huntsmen or Huntresses whose auras have already been depleted. The Fire Dust bolts yield explosive results, especially when targeting weak spots. The Water Dust bolts splash onto enemies on contact, which may look to deal little damage, but can fry exposed electronics, and can make stricken enemies prime targets for allied Lightning Dust users. The Earth Dust bolts are the heaviest bolts that can be fired by the Arcus Splinters, which makes them wildly inaccurate, but they can partially petrify anything they hit, transforming the entirety of stricken body parts to stone. The metal bolts have the most penetrative power of the five types of bolts, able to pierce through one enemy and hurt any that are directly behind, and chunk up to 9% of an enemy's Aura at a time.

Xinyue can charge Arcus Splinter shots by holding the trigger for a short amount of time before releasing it. Use of this feature isn't recommended when one has been assigned to a stealth mission, as the grinding sound that can be heard when shots are being charged will give away the wielder's position, and the sheer recoil will not only throw off one's aim, but also cause moderate discomfort in the arms at best and severe damage to them at worst. This depends on the wielder's arm strength as well as the type of bolts being used. It should also be noted that not all types of bolts can be used safely for charged shots. This is primarily true for all three elements of Dust bolts, as they will "cook" when being charged, which can lead to disastrous results. Fire Dust bolts will explode in one's face, Water Dust bolts will disperse uselessly and Earth Dust bolts will petrify the entire chamber upon detonation, jamming the weapon and preventing further use until it is repaired. However, charging the shots for wooden bolts can provide much needed impact force, and charging metal bolts will greatly amplify their already impressive penetrative power; so much so they can cleave straight through any lesser Grimm and keep going...

Semblance: Fighting Spirit Awakened

Semblance Breakdown

Here, Xinyue summons an animal spirit that takes the form of a tiger, which she can use to combat enemies and distract them while Xinyue is re-positioning or reloading her Arcus Splinters. The tiger spirit responds entirely to Xinyue's will, which allows her to manipulate its actions as she sees fit. She can even unsummon the tiger spirit if its combat prowess is no longer needed. The tiger spirit's strikes deal heavy damage to Grimm, as its ethereal body is made entirely of Aura. The spirit is also fast enough to pursue enemies should Xinyue need them eliminated, and can intercept light attacks with ease. Strong concussive blows will cause the tiger spirit to disperse immediately however. When the tiger spirit is defeated in combat, its body emits a blinding light that greatly bolsters the Auras of any allies that are enveloped in it before dispersing.

While her Aura is at its full strength, Xinyue can conjure up to 3 tiger spirits in a single instance. Summoning all 3 spirits at once would be a reckless endeavor on her end, however, as since each one consumes a significant portion of her own Aura to bring forth, it would mean that she'd have less than half her Aura to take hits thrown her way, in exchange for her and her tiger spirits applying as much offensive pressure as possible. Having a tiger spirit(s) out in combat also seems to "cap" Xinyue's Aura level at a certain percentage of its full strength (depending on the number of spirits that had been summoned) and it can only replenish past that percentage if a spirit had died, or if she had unsummoned one at any point of time. Further more, each additional tiger spirit means that much more micro-management is necessary of Xinyue, which maybe taxing and can potentially distract her. As such, Xinyue will usually only summon 1 tiger spirit at a time.

@Agent 47 Thankfully, Xinyue wouldn't be the type to wear heels. She'd prefer her footwear to be flat :]

...

I could've easily shrunken her height down to more a typical "tall woman height" if I wanted to, but I kinda liked 6' 2 for her. I've seen worse back in the day (as well as played worse myself, I must admit), and I figured her being one of the outliers would make her more imposing.

App is up. Lemme know if I need to nerf any combat stuffs, or if there're any red flags with the bio. I tried to keep it brief, but once I managed to start it, it kinda took off... as it does. It was difficult to scale back without leaving out important details as a result.

Persona in Wonderland: A Persona RP.

It'd been a while since she'd awoken here, and yet Tylissa Cannon was still wandering around the Butter Daisy Forest aimlessly, trying to get a feel for the netherworld that she'd unwittingly found herself falling into. Tylissa didn't remember much about the dream she had prior to finding herself here, but she did remember seeing a reflection of herself in her pajamas, wrapping a certain stuffed toucan tightly in her arms like she always had. She also remembered her fingers going straight through the glass object that had presented this reflection as she touched it, and her hand being trapped inside said glass object no matter how much effort she invested into wresting it free... and then her whole body was sucked in. Upon that epiphany, Tylissa immediately flexed her right hand's fingers to guage how much feeling it had, as that was the hand she remembered using when she reached out towards this glass.

"Oh, thank god..." Tylissa sighed as she said this, relieved that her hand hadn't undergone paralysis after all, only to feel the tension in her whole right arm as she tried to move it, 'Seriously, how the hell was it not ripped off back then?'

She'd also noticed her pajamas were gone, and in their place were the same black shorts and the same pink sweater as she'd changed into from her school uniform that afternoon. She couldn't help but wonder if someone had dressed her in her sleep, and shuddered at the thought that someone would be perverted enough to do so, but decided she'd best not dwell on it. After all, there were more important answers that Tylissa needed right now, like... how she got here. Where she was meant to go. What troubles lay ahead for her. And more importantly, whether there was anyone out there that who'd go out of their way to guide her.

...

Eventually, after spending a few more seconds taking in the sights of this netherworld, Tylissa bravely ventured forward. Here, she finally found some other figures; a black, rabbit-like creature and who looked to be an elderly man with a tall top hat. However, both of these figures were pre-occupied with each other, firing a myriad of spells one after another; almost as if they were doing combat. Needless to say, Tylissa was entranced by the spectacle of spells bring "traded" between the two figures, but thankfully she had enough common sense to stay back. After all, they could easily catch her in the crossfire and kill her, whether they'd meant to or otherwise.

On top of that, Tylissa didn't even know who the good guy was meant to be. She was sure that she could figure that out if the two combatants were to exchange any of the cliche battle quotes, like "you'll never get away with this" or "with this power of mine you won't stand a chance" or things such as that. However, that would mean sticking around for longer than would be wise...
