Gender:
Female

APPEARANCE

Picture

Height:
5’ 5”

Weight:
125 lbs

Clothing Style:
Rowan is not much of a jeans and t-shirt kind of person. She’ll usually base her attire around the color red. Almost every outfit consists of a red coat of some sort. She is a major advocate of the combat skirt movement. Rowan wears a black scarf given to her by her father.

Hair Color:
Silver

Eye Color:
Blue

COMBAT

Weapon:
Rowan’s weapon’s name is Tyrfing. It is a pair of black fist-wraps. On the back is the symbol for red Dust.
Semblance:
Rowan’s Semblance is known as the Saboteur's Touch. When she comes into contact with someone, her Semblance activates and drains the Aura from the person. It only drains from the initial contact, and if she remains in contact, then her Semblance will not drain any more. Her Semblance is constantly active, and she has ability to stop it from activating.

Dust:
Tyrfing is infused with red Dust, allowing for slightly explosive punches. The Dust has to be re-applied after every fight, as it runs out rather quickly.

Skills:
Rowan was trained extensively in both Wado-Ryu, as well as Krav Maga. She combines the two to form her own unique fighting style. She is able to move with the flow of the battle, and strike hard when the opportunity presents itself. Rowan is a tank of sorts, and prefers to stay in the thick of the battle. Her sizeable Aura allows her to absorb hits with relative ease.

Background:

Rowan was born into a family of wealth. Her grandfather was a renowned doctor who had made several advancements in the medicinal field. Rowan’s father, being an only child, naturally inherited most of the family wealth when his father died. Rowan grew up living a life of luxury. She was waited on constantly, and could have anything within a moment’s notice. She attending a prestigious private school, where her parents bribed all of her teachers to give her passing grades.

Despite having anything she could ever want, Rowan was unhappy with her life. She barely knew her parents, and she had no one she could truly call a friend. She craved excitement, adventure. Friendship. She begged her parents to send her to combat school. Reluctantly, they let her attend Sanctum Academy in Mistral. Rowan was in for a brutal awakening. Her first year at Sanctum left her at the bottom of her class in nearly all aspects, including socially. No one at Sanctum cared about her.

Rowan spent the summer in between school years fervently training. She desperately wanted to prove herself. When she returned, while she had drastically improved herself, she was nowhere near the top students. She sought tutoring from one of these top students, a kid named Onyx. He gladly took Rowan under his wing, teaching her various fighting methods, as well as Aura and Semblance training.

By the end of her time at Sanctum, Rowan was among the top tier students. She still couldn’t emerge as the best, but she was an excellent fighter. After some discussion with her parents, they agreed to let her further her education as a Huntress. She applied to Beacon Academy, in hopes of getting into the prestigious academy. Much to her surprise, she was accepted. Off she went to Beacon, eager to become a fully-fledged Huntress and help maintain the world’s peace.

Character Theme:

Rowan was inspired by the Norse mythological figure, Svafrlami. Svafrlami was the grandson of Odin, which inspired Rowan's renowned grandfather. Svafrlami forced a pair of dwarves to forge him an extremely powerful sword, but the sword was cursed by the dwarves. One of the dwarve's names was Dvalinn, so I incorporated that into Rowan's name (D. Valinn). Rowan’s Semblance is similar to a curse, although not relevant to the curse placed on the sword.

@Turboshitter
ENTIRE.
TEAM.

@ReaptheMusic Awesome. Can't wait for that last member.

R.W.B.Y. ~ The Colors of Dawn ~

@ReaptheMusic Got a picture up for his attire.
Also, I mention his symbol (Emblem?) in the clothing style section. I don't have it made just yet, but I'll have it done tomorrow.

R.W.B.Y. ~ The Colors of Dawn ~

Alright, did a little bit of research, and found some styles that I think could fit Rowan. Also made a couple of edits to his theme, but I didn't change any of the core aspects of it. Just clarifying some points.

R.W.B.Y. ~ The Colors of Dawn ~

@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).

R.W.B.Y. ~ The Colors of Dawn ~

@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.

R.W.B.Y. ~ The Colors of Dawn ~

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.

Background:
Rowan was born into a family of wealth. His grandfather was a renowned doctor who had made several advancements in the world of health. Rowan’s father naturally inherited most of the family wealth when he died. Rowan never had to lift a finger to get what he wanted. When he went to school, his parents would bribe the staff to give him passing grades. Rowan was sent to combat school after showing interest in the Huntsmen. His parents had no power in this situation. He was all alone. Rowan struggled through the first two years. He had never really been exposed to a life outside of his own family, which caused sort of a culture shock as he went through combat school. He wasn’t the center of the universe anymore.

RWBY RP

RWBY: Era of Fabulousness. I mean, the war caused all of the super-unique color schemes and stuff, right? So that's what I'd call the time period.
