Current Been a while, but I'm back. Just moved and no social life in the new place yet so I'll probably be around a lot.

My cat has been found guilty of laptopicide, using my very own jar of ice water as a murder weapon. I'll be back as soon as I can. At most, I'm looking at about a month with no personal computer.

Although, eh, there's exactly two greedy necromancers. Sarai and Aramil... The other two are a drow priestess (who among other things like demon summoning, she knows about it), and a Death priest??


Technically, Luca was only raised as a priest and is more accurately a Favored Soul (if you're familiar with the D&D3.5e class). The majority of his magical potency does not belong to him, but what he does have is used the channel the Raven Queen's power into the mortal realm. Hence the change in eye color and voice bit when he's preparing serious magic. Also why I use a different color for his speech when he's using magic or performing a blessing.

Not really refuting you, just something I've been working towards getting out there for a while and this seemed like a good opportunity.
A work in progress, but proof I'm alive and here at least. Feel free to offer criticism or ask questions.

[Moved to a later post]
Long story short, I want a way to test some of my characters in a more combat-oriented scenario. I've been roleplaying for a while but I've never bothered with any arena based forums in the past. I've done some reading, mostly regarding T1, and I think I'm ready to get started. So, on to what I'm looking for.

Like it seems many others have been doing here among the interest checks, I'm looking to learn from someone more experienced at RPing combat. More importantly, I want to find out how well my writing style fits a combat situation with someone I can trust to offer constructive criticism. On top of that, I'd like some help getting some of my characters Arena-ready. I have them fleshed out for story- and character-driven plots, but most are nonspecific as to combat ability and mostly just flow with the tone of the RP.

I certainly do intend to join the major Arena threads shortly, and I expect you'll find me there as soon as I decide at least one of my characters is adequately prepared. In the mean time, I'd like a quick mid-powered bout or two to see how things go and if I actually enjoy this style of writing.

At some point in the near future, I may add a couple of my characters here as a baseline to work from starting out. The majority of them are inspired by D&D-style fantasy settings, with a few other universes (mostly Dresden for more modern settings) thrown into the mix. I typically don't use guns with any of my characters, but that may change in the future depending on how things go.

Anyway, message me or post here if you're interested in helping me out. I only ask that if you post here, you toss a mention my way so I remember to actually look.
I'm in the middle of a long work week, but I'm still searching for more partners! I won't be around as often as I normally am, but don't let that stop you from hitting me up. Hopefully I will have more ideas to add to my plot section soon, but until then I look forward to seeing what you all can do with what I already have or you can come up with yourselves.

Message me if you're interested, I tend to miss posts here unless I specifically go looking for them.
Anyone still around thinking of trying to relaunch this? Because that is something I would be down for. Especially if the group was kept a little smaller this time around.

Aaanyway... if any of you make/are part of a RWBY RP that needs people, feel free to hit me with a mention or PM me.
I'm still around, just been busy lately.

That episode though. Wow.
Wow. Just finished the episode. Things just got very real. I like it.
Luca Warren - Raven Queen's Attendant

Location: Actium


Luca dug his nails into the palm of his free hand, steeling himself. Despite Pyria's wailing yell, he managed to not even turn his head to look back or stop in his tracks. It seemed cold, even to him, but he reminded himself that his chosen path belonged to the Goddess of Winter and none other. Both he and Snow continued on, apparently uncaring.

He only made it a handful of paces before he ended up turning back anyway. Who would not, considering the circumstances? The little girl was now far from little, revealing her true Draconic nature. Stunned, Luca let Snow's reins fall from his hand and only managed to keep hold of his staff because it fell against his shoulder. The horse reared and bolted, narrowly missing him. It soon dawned on him that he had made a grave mistake, and endangered the lives of everyone in the town at the very least. The red dragon was a bit larger than the mare he rode, but still certainly a threat to be taken seriously. Sending a silent prayer to the Raven Queen for strength, he clasped his hands together and started chanting under his breath.

Luca didn't intend to lash out at Pyria, but neither did he plan to let her strike at him unanswered. Those near him would note the gradual shift of his eye color from gray to ice blue, and the fact that another voice seemed to be layered over his own. His eyes followed the dragon as it took off, losing focus of everyone else around him. As the chanting continued, it grew in strength and speed and the air around the priest grew heavy and cold with magic.

For a second, a peal of thunder drowned out Luca's voice and a flash of lightning lit the sky in the distance. The storm had finally come, and it was beginning to rain. It struck him as rather appropriate.
Name: Brenin Lloyd
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:


Equipment:

Weapon: Shadow's Reach - CPBB - Conventional Projectile Blade Bow
(I know, the color is all wrong. Imagine that the green parts are a more appropriate color and please ignore the leaf emblem.)

Weapon transformations/derivations:
Shortbow - The primary form of Shadow's Reach, and the one most used in combat. Brenin uses bodkin arrowheads, with a hollow in the head for a small vial or crystal of Dust. He generally keeps a few already prepared with various Dust types, but these are more likely to break to and somewhat dangerous to store. These arrows are stored in a durable case-like quiver that is slung across the small of his back. To avoid losing all of his ammunition, the inside of the quiver is magnetized to keep hold of the arrows.

Gladius - A short sword with a wide and heavy blade. Brenin prefers this form when on the defensive, or when the full bow form would be too much of a hindrance. This is also the most compact form, and the one used to store the weapon. The quiver doubles as a sheath for this form.

Kukri - A pair of long and slightly curved daggers, suitable for both slashes and thrusts. These are most often used when Brenin is going for an all-out attack in melee combat. While not offering much defensive capabilities, these blades allow him to be extremely mobile and efficient even up close.

Armor: Brenin wears very little armor, as it would hinder his ability to move swiftly. Typically, reinforced boots protect his lower legs and metal bracers encase his forearms.

Other: Dust vials and crystals are kept in a pouch at Brenin's right hip on his belt. Another pouch closer to his quiver contains spare arrow parts, mostly including heads and fletching since those are the most easily damaged.

Semblance: Focused Burst - After taking a few seconds to steady himself and focus his Aura, Brenin is able to push himself far beyond normal human limits in terms of speed and agility. During this time, he moves quickly enough that he perceives others to be moving in slow motion. No other factors seem to be affected by this state, and he can easily injure himself if he doesn't take things like velocity and momentum into account before making his move. This ability can currently be maintained for a maximum of about five real-time seconds in one go, or until his focus is disrupted.

While there is no limit to how often Brenin can push himself, using his semblance repeatedly will exhaust both his physical stamina and his Aura. He has been known to damage muscles and ligaments when going too far. The more complex his actions are, the less time he has with his unnatural agility. As it stands, he can't attack with any form of his weapon more than once without ending the effect immediately.

Skills:
Dexterous - Even without his semblance, Brenin is still fleet of foot. As well as being fast and agile, he has an incredible sense of balance. Overall, this allows him to remain on the move while using his bow's range to his advantage. His hands are as quick as his feet, a necessity for his chosen styles of combat.

Silent Step - Due to long hours of practice, Brenin is rather accomplished when it comes to feats of stealth. He has learned to walk and even jog in near silence, as well as fade into the shadows or quickly break an opponents line of sight. When focused on maintaining cover (i.e. sniping from the sidelines while his comrades do battle in the open) he is nearly imperceptible until he takes his first shot.

Intent Focus - Brenin excels when he can focus on one thing at time. This mostly translates into his archery. After spending a few moments studying his target and intended strike zone, it is incredibly unlikely that he will miss due to a fault of his own. This has its downsides as well. If he's focused on sneaking up on an opponent to incapacitate them, he would be highly unlikely to notice someone coming up to flank him.

Personality: At first, Brenin tends to come off as arrogant or rude. This impression generally isn't helped by the fact that that it seems like he rarely ever speaks. When he does it comes out blunt and direct. Because of this, he tends to end up with a lot of enemies from pointing out things he considers problems. This is especially true because he's stubborn and doesn't know when to back down. It takes a lot to really get under his skin, but it turns out he's at his most verbose when he's actually pissed.

Of his friends he is rather possessive and defensive. Brenin does not trust easily, and those he considers close enough to call 'friend' are few and far between. While he is generally found to be more talkative around those few, he is still fairly quiet and reserved.

Short Bio: Brenin's life was far from simple or easy, as he grew up outside the kingdom of Atlas. Life was harsh, especially since his father did not stick around for long after he was born. The boy's mother seemed to take single parenthood rather well, as she was a fairly capable woman in her own right.

As he grew, Brenin's priorities became survival and becoming stronger. His mother taught him to handle a bow so he could help her hunt and defend the small village. Learning to handle blades came later, when he became stronger and was forced to fend for himself more often. What eventually drove him into Atlas proper and the Atlas Academy's Junior section was the desire to continue to grow stronger in order to defend others when they were unable to help themselves.

While he flourished as a fighter in the Academy, Brenin remained in the background socially and was only an average scholar. Intent on proving himself worthy of becoming a Specialist, he worked hard to improve on all fronts. Finally moving on to the Senior section, he considers being assigned a team on of the greatest challenges he will face. In the past he had always preferred to work on his own.
@OneWayOut Fair enough, no change then. It was mostly just an idle thought anyway.

@Karos I have to work tonight so I'm done for now, but let me know if you think I need to add more.
