@Pyromaniacwolf What timezone are you in (UTC)? I keep a list of them all for quick reference.

@Phantomlink959

I'm in GMT timezone, might become a little awkward due to that.

Oh Spirited said about the Google docs, I click the link and it says I need permission. I'm guessing I need to wait for someone to accept my access request?

RWBY AU;Heroes of a Different Story (Mission terminated. Wishing you all well.)

Do you have access to Google Docs, Pyromaniac? Because that is where we are currently in the process of writing the next scene. Links are in the CS tab - you'll be joining us on Team CLRT.

Also, we have (somewhat) worked out what is going to happen with your character. He is going to be a transfer student from another Academy (you can choose which one, if you'd like) being sent to Beacon to fill the gap created in CLRT due to the unexpected withdrawal of Tierra (which is a very convoluted sequence), due to the fact that he was an odd student out at the other Academy and technically didn't have a team. He will be arriving sometime in the second week of term, but we'll catch you up. Feel free to pop into the docs at any time to chat and see what's happening and where we're up to!

@SpiritedDream

Yes I have access to Google docs, do I need a link to a particular document? (If so can you link it? I had a look around and can't find any)

Edit: Nevermind, found it.

@Pyromaniacwolf Decide a middle name for Basil that starts with a T and find the bird a cage, because you're up kiddo.

@Phantomlink959

Well that happened faster than I thought. OK Basil Trista Plagas and Dolor (reluctantly in a cage) are going to Beacon!

Also good luck with your school/college/university work Cyrania!

@Pyromaniacwolf Oh, i did overlook a couple small things. You missed outfit for one, and for two we work under the assumption dust only provides literal elemental effects unless a mage styled semblance specifically converts it into the metaphysical, so pull the ice dust slowing down people who are afflicted.

@Phantomlink959

Oh the outfit he usually wears is his casual/informal , I'll make that more clear.

RWBY AU;Heroes of a Different Story (Mission terminated. Wishing you all well.)

Yes, feel free to lurk around and read through whatever stuff, comment on things that happen, etc.
If we get three more of you guys i may install an extra team

@Phantomlink959

Ok then looks like I've got time to read whats already happened.

RWBY AU;Heroes of a Different Story (Mission terminated. Wishing you all well.)

Crow's have extremely small talons not suited for combat, better off to just have him be a scout.
Other than that should be fine. Add that after the hunter extension I suppose

@Phantomlink959

Ah ok, I just added the talons bit in because there was an attack(s) section really.

So am I a reserve now?

RWBY AU;Heroes of a Different Story (Mission terminated. Wishing you all well.)

Now, what was this about a pet bird?

@Phantomlink959

Ah yes Dolor, Baslil's little friend. Is he ok as well or not? I'll put his (Small) sheet here just so anyone reading through can see:

My Hider

Name: Dolor
Species:Carrion Crow
Appearance: Typical crow's apearance, black feathers and eyes with unusually sharp claws.
Abilities: Able to show others a mental image of what he is currently seeing, usually assisting his owner by scouting ahead but occasionally he just does it to get students he dislikes in trouble.
Accessories: Basil's symbol is stamped(dyed) onto his left wing.
Behavior: Whenever he is with his owner (Basil) he will stand on their shoulder unless ordered (or thrown) off. Whenever not with his owner he will fly around looking for any trouble or anything of interest, if it's a threat to his owner (or something he wants) he will return to him and alert him.
Likes: Flying, watching fights, bakeries and other food stores, Basil, night-time
Dislikes: Loud sounds, planes , being in large crowds
Attack(s):Pecking
Additional notes: Basil never named Dolor until he had owned him for about a year, until that point he called him Bird.

RWBY AU;Heroes of a Different Story (Mission terminated. Wishing you all well.)

Nothing hugely wrong, he might freak people out a bit with the plague doctor thing but otherwise is solid.

@Phantomlink959

That's the point really, it is his combat gear after all. Although I can imagine him walking around Signal like that. It'd be kind of funny to see actually.

RWBY AU;Heroes of a Different Story (Mission terminated. Wishing you all well.)

OK so I spoke with phantomlink on the RWBY wiki a while ago and sent me here , so I'm going to post my character sheet and ask for reserve ( or an actual spot if there's any space)

3)Characteristics

Background: Basil was born in a small town north of Vale, he was raised by his father, Vert Plagas, and his mother, Violet Plagas. His father taught him everything he knew about medicine and semblances. By the time he was 14 he took over his father's work as the town's only doctor. A few weeks after Basil took over his father's work the village was attacked by a roaming group of beowolves. They destroyed everything, very few of the townsfolk knew how to fight effectively and were slaughtered. Basil's mother was killed quickly, however the beowolves slashed at his father's thigh before a despatched team of huntsman brought it down. Basil thanked the huntsman and quickly checked on his father, however he realised he was bleeding out. With no medicine or bandages to help him Basil was forced to watch as his father bled out. This ignited a new hatred and passion in Basil. To hunt Grimm and anything that commits atrocities like this to the ends of the earth,he also became incredibly bitter and cold, shutting anyone out who tried to help him cope with his situation.

He used his newfound strengths to help him get into Signal academy Basil ,now fueled with anger and bitterness quickly advanced through Signal, using his new found offensive semblance to defeat most physical challenges and his intellect to breeze through tests. While he struggled with creating his weapons he eventually created an effective set of weapons after many attempts and called them "The Bone Sifters "

Personality: Cold/bitter, intelligent, sarcastic,cunning, isolates himself from allies and friends ( he will make friends but he'll usually not reveal very much to them), dignified ( doesn't mind losing or appeasing people).

Likes: creating medicine, reading, fencing,sparring.

Dislikes: Grimm, Anarchists, Repetitive music, bright lights.

</weapon technicalities>

b) Semblance Name: Plague warning

User: Basil

Short Description: manipulates aura so the user emits a cloud of fog which, if it touches an enemy, will temporarily give them an affliction/disease.

Visual effect: A pale green mist rolling along the ground and gradually rising as a fight continues <semblance technicalities>

Type: Aural/physical Purpose: Offensive

Range: Medium (Aura keeps expanding until about 10 metres away from the user)

Other limitations: The mist is less effective on stronger enemies as it, at best, makes them erupt into a fit of coughing, only weak Grimm are effected and are only effected for a few seconds. Afflictions wear off if the opponent doesn't reenter the fog after a few minutes. The afflictions are not full diseases, merely symptoms of random diseases.

Passive ability(s) (if any): User is much more resistant to disease.

Active ability(s) (if any): :Aura gives off a disease ridden fog when in combat.

Dust interaction Ice-causes ice to erupt from the ground.

Notes:.Weaker enemies tend to get much worse afflictions such as severe arthritis or extreme depression while stronger enemies get things such as a fit of coughs or become slightly tired.

</semblance technicalities>

c) Combat Info

Class/Position: Rouge/DPS

Landing Strategy: User uses the sickle to hook onto any nearby surfaces to slow themselves down. If there are no nearby surfaces the user will hook onto the ground as he lands and tuck and roll.

Fighting Style: Weaving in and out of combat picking off weaker enemies with his aura and sickle or waiting for an opportunity to grab and stab stronger opponents with his sickle and sword.
