Shade of Vacuo: Bleeding Hearts

Wow, Raye and Saffron have some real strong parallels in their backstories. It's like a distorted mirror. Would you mind terribly role-playing with her in the future?

@Lemons

You ask that as though I’m gonna say no. Of course I’d love to roleplay with you~

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Cloudy Red Lights

Punk Rock Ghost Rider

Name: Coyote Briggs
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Appearance:


History:
Coyote was born in Seattle, WA, to a neglectful mother and an absentee father, and lots of time to himself to ponder his situation. He was something of an unruly child, growing up without much in the way of boundaries or limits on his behavior, so he ended up having to learn those lessons himself. Sometimes the hard way. As things piled up, and Coyote's behavior became unacceptable, his father finally took notice, and tried to find a more constructive outlet for his son to pour his energies into. Remembering his own rowdy youth, he had an idea, scraped up what money he could spare, and bought Coyote a well-worn acoustic guitar for his 14th birthday, with the promise that he'd actually learn to play it.

To everyone's surprise- not the least of which Coyote's own- it started to spark a change in the young man. For once in his life, even if it wasn't perfect, he had something beautiful to call his own, to use. He started slowly, at first; stumbling plucks at the strings, hesitant starts and abrupt stops. But as his practice continued, and his skill grew, it became clear that Coyote had an innate gift for music. It wasn't perfect, and there were still troubles every now and again. But for once in his life, he had something worthwhile to pursue. Through his skill and hobbies, he even met others who shared his interests, finding his first real friends, and hitting upon a brilliant (supposedly) idea: to form a band. And so, with a little stumbling here or there, the band Bones was brought into being.

Throughout high school, and just after, Bones played at every venue they could book in Seattle, everything from bars to birthday parties, and anything in between. They played at "battle of the band" competitions, making a name for themselves on Seattle's independent scene. Eventually, however, it became clear that Bones was never going to get any bigger just playing for drunk clubgoers or wedding guests. It was Coyote who found what could promise to be their big break- a national competition in New York, where the grand prize would not only give them the means to live comfortably for quite a while, but where their victory might even get them noticed by someone with clout in the industry- enough to get them into a proper recording booth, at least.

So, guitar in hand, Coyote and his bandmates boarded a plane, headed off to seek their "destiny," or whatever. Little did Coyote know, however, what destiny actually had in mind for him...

Personality:
Aggressively cheerful, Coyote is loud, brash, and never shy about speaking his mind in the slightest. He's fiercely protective of those he considers friends, especially his band, Bones. He may have trouble reining in his passions sometimes, but he never means any harm in it. Not intentionally or directly, anyway. He particularly has a fondness for good food and drink, especially when he can share it with others. Despite his loudness, Coyote is a fairly intelligent and thoughtful sort in his downtime, with a special interest in science fiction and/or urban fantasy novels when he can find time to read.

He's a surprisingly picky eater, being a line cook at his "day job."

Abilities:
Coyote can play both bass and guitar proficiently (acoustic and electric alike), and is passable on drums and vocals. He's also a decent brawler, given a chance to show off.

Stand
As of the start of the RP, Coyote's Stand has not manifested yet. When it does, however...

Come a little closer... (spoilers!)

Name:
「Hellbent」
Namesake:
Hellbent by Mystery Skulls
Appearance:
「Hellbent」is a humanoid gout of purplish-black flame, wearing black cargos, a black hoodie sweatshirt, and a stylized skull mask over its non-existent face. The hoodie has skeletal accents on the ribs and arms, with stylized wings on the back.
Personality:
Exuberant and mischievous, and often difficult to control. Likes to steal small trinkets and draw them into its and Coyote's soul, making it theirs.
Type:
Close-to-mid-range

Destructive Power: B
Speed: C
Range: D
Durability: D
Precision: A
Developmental Potential: B

Ability:「Hellbent」can generate ghostly flames that can give just about anyone some serious burns on their own, but their true power is their ability to be infused into any nonliving matter or object. By doing this, the matter or object is drawn into the user’s “Pocket Hell,” allowing them to shape and enhance it in myriad ways. For instance, a pile of rocks or a trash bin can, with time, be molded into a weapon. Enhancing a knife makes it more durable and gives it a heated edge. A handgun now has unlimited ammo and shoots fire bullets, and so on. Since said items are now part of the user’s Pocket Hell, they can be stored along with the Stand, in the user’s soul.

There are limits to this power, however; infusing a ready-made item is much easier than altering unorganized matter, the more complex the object, the longer it takes to infuse, and the larger the amount of matter, the more energy it takes to finish the job. To infuse an object also requires the Stand to be touching the object for the entire process- if they were forced to stop for any reason, they’d have to start again from the beginning of the process.

The Pocket Hell has a limit on how many things can be stored in it at once- roughly the contents of a large backpack or suitcase, for now.

「Hellbent」itself is also not all that durable.

@ManyThings Thanks!

Shade of Vacuo: Bleeding Hearts

Raye Solaire

Name: Raye Solaire
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Phenotype: Faunus (Wolf)
Appearance: Tall, almost frightfully so, almost reaching six-and-a-half feet tall. His skin, already darker than normal, has darkened and bronzed further under the intensity of Vacuo’s constant sun. His hair is gray and black, shoulder length and shaggy, with the rough beginnings of a beard outlining his strong, square features. His eyes are cool blue, and he has a constant, wide, sharp-toothed grin on his face, his freakishly sharp fangs some of the only evidence of his non-human heritage. Broad-shouldered and well-built, he usually wears clothing that shows these features off, such as sleeveless shirts (should he bother wearing one at all). He usually dresses in black, gold and rust orange, particularly his signature black-and-gold trenchcoat, which he is almost never seen without, no matter the temperature.
Nationality: Atlesian/Mistralese (dual citizenship)
Weapon: Kusanagi-no-tsurugi- Classification: Variable-Response Dust Katana; a Dust-tempered blade with a ballistic scabbard. A specialized magazine slotted into the scabbard can carry charges of up to three varieties of Dust. Pulling the trigger on the scabbard releases Dust into the sheath, empowering the blade for a short time with the elemental properties of the Dust released. Said Dust can also alter the properties of Raye's Semblance.

Sword of the Sun

Semblance: Zenith- Raye absorbs ambient heat and light to empower a battle aura surrounding his body, making him stronger, faster, etc.
Aura Color: Golden
Emblem:

Raye's Emblem

Personality: “Exuberant” doesn’t even begin to describe this boundless fount of energy. Raye channels his fiery spirit into everything he does, whether it be fighting Grimm, accomplishing stupid dares with his friends and classmates, or even cooking (Don’t eat his curry if you’re unprepared. Just don’t. It’s like eating pepper spray). He basically attacks life head-on, living it exactly how and when he wants to. Seldom seen without his trademark grin, Raye fancies himself an icon, a beacon for those downtrodden and suffering. A hero, even. He’s also prone to flirting shamelessly with anyone attractive in sight- male, female, Faunus, whomever. Despite all of this, however, Raye is no fool- those who talk with him are often surprised at the level of awareness and thoughtfulness that he displays, as well as his strategic prowess. When push comes to shove, spending time with Raye may be chaos, but only of the very best kind. Be warned, however- not every spark is a harbinger of glad tidings. A flame can just as easily be a raging crucible than a warm hearth, and all of that passion can just as easily turn from joy to rage.
Background: Raye Solaire was born the child of Arthur and Nia Solaire, an Atlesian diplomat and Mistrali schoolteacher, respectively. The two met while Arthur was stationed in the Atlas’ embassy in Mistral, and returned to Arthur’s home kingdom shortly after Raye was born. To say that his peers were shocked at him bringing home a Faunus bride and son upon his return would be a gross understatement. While, legally, there could be no reprisals brought against the young politician just for whom he decided to share his life with, there was no doubt that the reception he received from then on was significantly frostier than before.

For Nia and Raye, the situation was significantly worse. Nia found it hard to find work in her favored field, forced to do menial jobs to get by, while Raye was bullied and ostracized by his fellow children for his Faunus heritage. While he was blessed with less-distinctive features than usual, eventually they always found out, whether by his mother coming to pick himself up from school, or even just a particularly sharp-eyed student noticing that his teeth were a little too sharp. Despite all of this, however, the Solaire family was not known for giving up, and endured through their hardships together. Raye was inspired by his parents, seeing that no adversity could silence his father’s laugh, or dim his mother’s smile. He resolved to live his life by their example, tearing in teeth first and cackling all the while.

His exuberance served him well, especially when he reached the age where he could enroll in a combat school. His physical prowess and dexterity, plus his intuitive grasp of tactics put him near the top of the class… despite some “incidents” with his peers, now that he was capable of fighting back. Regardless, at age 16, Raye managed to get accepted to Atlas Academy, to everyone’s shock, as such a thing was relatively uncommon for a Faunus to achieve. Then came the even greater shock, as Raye publically refused the invitation, deciding instead to attend an Academy, “more conducive to my continued education.” With that said, Raye left the icy terrain of Atlas for the desert sands of Vacuo, to attend Shade Academy. And it’s there he intends to make his mark on the world... gladly flipping the double bird at anyone who doubts him.
Likes: Meat (of all kinds, in vast quantities), fruit, fighting Grimm, working on his weapon, a good old-fashioned scrap
Dislikes: Vegetables (especially cooked ones), fast/ranged opponents, rain, being alone, bigotry
Favors: Raye is a powerhouse when it comes to wielding his Semblance and weapon in conjunction. Between his parameter boost from Zenith and his knowledge of and skill with Dust, he's a monster in close combat, able to close the gap between him and his opponent and quickly cut them down. He's also skilled at thinking on the fly, quickly adapting to new situations as they come.
Disfavors: While formidable, Raye’s talents are primarily in short-ranged combat, meaning a quick-witted or fast-moving opponent can whittle him down at range, without even having much fear of reprisals. His tendency to rush in also leaves him vulnerable to traps and ambushes, as well as leaving him less capable of long-term planning. Finally, take care not to let him get angry- his usual razor focus and strategy go out the window, and he becomes much less caring of collateral damage, as well.
Relationships- Raye has a strong, healthy relationship with his parents, but not much else, aside from a mutual antagonism with his peers. Perhaps coming to Shade will give him a fresh start...
