RWBY: Deep Blue

Khalis returned to his hobby of observing people. although no one was doing anything, interesting, some people grabbed his attention. The first was someone breathing heavily, sweat forming on his brow. He then went topside, arousing Khalis's curiosity, made apparent by a slight grin. There was another who was pacing back and force, obviously tormented by something. She departed to the washrooms, almost immediately. Khalis decided to ignore this and follow the first person. It certainly seemed like fun. Finally deciding, he followed after the male, only being stopped by a female who bumped into him as he darted around the corner. He himself was sent back into the nearby wall.

"Ahh..." He groaned, having hit his head. Then he noticed the other was completely on the ground. A faint, friendly smile appearing, he reached to help her, saying "I'm sorry, I was preoccupied. Are you all right?" She seemed a little strange, and something was bulging from her back, which also aroused his curiosity, but he was still focused on the first. He waited for her to respond nonetheless; Khalis is a gentleman anyway, at least to absolute strangers. It's only those that know him that should beware.

RWBY: Deep Blue

Hardly any light was shining in the room, save a flickering, dangling light that seemed like it would fall at any moment. It showed very little of the dim room, simply a table with two chairs on opposing sides. In one sat someone, although it was hard to see; the light only provided so much, showing only two arms, elbows resting while the two hands interlocked fingers. A strange, silver glow from the person's eyes was all the now awakened soldier could focus on.

"...Ugh... Wha... Y-you..." Alder began, almost blacking out again. His head was throbbing, confirmed by a groan. One of the hands left the other temporarily, palm open, a gesture to calm down. "Baby steps first, Lieutenant. You've only just awoken. It's too soon for you, it appears." The male voice resonated with a strange calmness and indifference, one Alder couldn't trust for some reason. His head was too foggy, eyelids growing heavier with each passing second. Alder's eyes instantly opened up, the veil in his mind lifting, anger rising. "You! You people attacked me!!" he spat at them. Yes... There were three of them. A female chuckled in the background, grabbing his attention as he glared at the blood red eyes. It was too dark to make her out, but he knew that he hated her voice, ringing with arrogance and laidback pleasure. "My, my, it looks like you were wrong."

Nostrils flared as he exhaled in anger. There was one more. Where was he?! Glancing around, he saw nothing else, didn't even sense anything else. Maybe he was wrong? "So you can detect the other, as well? Impressive." the male replied in response to Alder's searching. "But I'm afraid your purpose here is different, unfortunately for you." the male snapped his fingers and he heard the clacking of heels, undoubtedly the female. A loosely clothed arm and hand gently pressed against the table. There was temporary confusion as to why she being so gentle, which vanished as dozens of voices resonated within his mind. Too much chaos, too much discord and disorder. A feminine and joyful laugh seemed to overrule them.

"What ails you, my friend? Something on your mind? Maybe you should tell us..." the female said as the hand retreated slowly. That sounds nice... My head... I should... Regaining his grip on his sanity, Alder glared back at them, defiant and strong. The female laughed, a sound that seemed so strangely familiar. "Good, good, I wouldn't want to be done with you already, my dear." she replied, and the voices returned. More chaos. More agony. More laughter. "The game has only just begun." the male simply muttered.

---

The airship was moving at a rather slow pace, causing Khalis to yawn a third time that hour. This was getting more and more boring by the second. I wonder who's on thats fun... he thought to himself as he glanced around. Humans and Faunus scattered everywhere inside, surely not all of them could be so boring. His eyes quickly darted around, never focused for more than a second, studying briefly each person. A girl with white hair in a ponytail. One with black long hair and a bow, reading. One blonde and one red haired were conversing. A blonde male seemed to be having trouble holding his lunch. Various others of different qualities.

Bo-ring. Khalis thought to himself, yawning and stretching in his seat again. "Aren't they?" A girl said. Khalis opened one eye to look at the speaker, who was a girl with silver hair in a massive, long ponytail behind her. She was dressed a little skimpily, but her eyes were wide and joyful, a trait shared by her smile. Maybe I didn't just think that last part... "There doesn't seem to be anyone fun here. Nobody to fight. And I had such high hopes for Beacon." she said as the smile turned into a frown, while the stranger leaned back in her seat. Khalis chuckled. "Not even just to fight. Just somebody to bug. Life isn't any fun if everybody's all friendly with each other." He and the new girl both laughed a little at this remark. "You look weak, but are kinda fun. We should maybe spar sometime. See ya!" she said as she left, leaving Khalis somewhat perplexed and insulted. "O...K...?"

Back to the passengers. The girl was now walking around, hands held behind her back as she studied everyone and their weapons. Only now did he notice bundle of metal on her back. It looked rather heavy... Ah well. Although, her sudden appearance reminded him of why he was here, why he was attending Beacon; to have fun and laugh, maybe even make others laugh, no matter the consequences. With that, Khalis relaxed into a more slouched position, arms resting on the backs of adjacent seats. "Who farted?" He blurted loudly for all to hear, causing all eyes to fall on him almost immediately. But he kept his face straight and serious, with a hint of disgust. The eyes then darted back and forth, looking for the source of the flatulence with worried expressions. He grinned and chuckled silently, his work completed. His gaze fell onto the view outside, provided by the window behind him.

RWBY (Opening check/interest check)

Still openings if anybody is interested

RWBY: Deep Blue

((NPC))

Name: Aashaln Fiaron

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance

Aashaln has strangely pale skin, slightly messy hair that extends down to his shoulders that seems to contain varying shades of grey, though it is not often seen as he wears a hood at all times. His eyes are an extremely unusual shade of orange, which seem to resonate with a sense of indifference with a strange tinge of subtle anger. He is garbed completely in thick, slightly baggy leather clothing, straps here and there to ensure nothing comes loose.

Personality: Aashaln is very unusual. It's like he prefers to not exist, just be a silent observer, usually ignoring most who attempt conversation with him. He keeps to himself most of the time, but when with friends, he's almost always wise but strangely distant at the same time. Its a sight that's too rare, but he does laugh and smile at times, although his thoughts are almost never so cheerful. Despite this, he's not a pessimist. If asked if a glass is half empty or half full, he would always answer "It's at half capacity.". His serious nature is another thing which drives most people off.

Weapons:

Red Dust

His main weapon of choice is Dust. He utilizes dust to conjure two identical and unusually shaped short swords, which can remorph almost instantly and combine into a bow. The ammunition is more dust, so he has to restock rather often.

Semblance:

Ignite

Aashaln can ignite and cover in flame any part of his body, clothing, or weaponry without damaging them. He uses this mainly to burn projectiles as they fly towards him, waving his arm while enflaming it, leaving a trail of fire, while also igniting his arrows as they depart, and his swords as he attacks. He will overload it, causing his entire body to go up in flames, though he can only do this for a short time.

Strengths: Focused, swift, and extremely lethal and damaging in combat. Although he never shows it, he is helpful and insightful to others, he is almost always supportive and encouraging of others, though he still maintains the serious demeanor.

Weaknesses: Fragile and unstable, will often end up hurting his teammates, though he tries his best not to. Too harsh and serious, very poor social skills.

((NPC))

Name: Saurodrinn Penanse

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance

(again, no image yet. Sorry) Saurodrinn is a giant, tall and strong. He is almost always garbed in a heavy cuirass with metal gauntlets and greaves, fair skin and a noble face, blue eyes filled with devotion and duty. Saurodrinn's brown hair is combed back and tied in a small ponytail, with 5 o'clock shadow which he refuses to shave off completely. Battle scars are scattered across his body, though almost all of them are hidden beneath golden and black clothing and silvery white armor.

Personality: Saurodrinn is a good hearted individual, once you get past the harsh front of a warrior. He believes in justice and nothing else, but because of this his view can become shrewd in other's eyes. Polite and calm, proud and selfless, but he never becomes emotionally attached to anything, including friends. Still, he is honest and kind with those close to him, and his trust is placed most in his weapons. Always on guard, always ready for anything, he never really settles down, despite the fact that he would say he never needs to.

Weapons:

Judgement and Verdict

His sword, which he has deemed Divine Verdict, is a great sword he can wield one handedly with his immense strength. Sometimes, he will choose to wield it with both hands, for better speed, force, and overall control. There isn't much else thats special about it aside from the fact that it retracts greatly for easier carrying. His shield, Divine Judgement, however, is a truly unique shield. It has multiple curved spikes on the face, while it is large, heavy and durable. Utilizing dust, he can launch the entire shield, except for the handle, of which it is tethered to. Saurodrinn can also retract the shield, or, with the use of his semblance, send himself to where his shield is grappled.

Semblance:

Magnify Friction

Saurodrinn can heavily fortify the friction between two touching objects to become near inseparable. He uses this mainly to technically glue his feet to the ground to prevent being knocked back, while also utilizing it on his shield when he fires it off, attaching it to a wall allowing himself to move there as if it were a hookshot. It can also be used to make climbing much easier, even potentially wall walking. He can magnify the friction between two surfaces on a maximum of 3 different targets at once.

Strengths: Saurodrinn is extremely strong and durable, possesses great endurance, and is skilled with the sword and shield and greatswords. He's also loyal to friends, selfless, obstinate and not almost impossible to deceive.

Weaknesses: Slow movements and attacks, easily read and predicted. He is also rather narrow minded, stubborn and arrogant.
