RWBY : Shattered Future

@Mr Allen J I did mention in his strengths it just slows them, sorry about how disorganized my CS is , I've had to take it from a way bigger ref sheet I used for Basil's original...creation. Not sure if how it affects Grimm makes and logical sense but I feel like its kind of thematic still. Once again, I'm kinda open to reworks on that front if you have any.

RWBY : Shattered Future

@Mr Allen J Yeah that seems like a fair point, it actually came up abit in my last RWBY rp but it closed before I could address it. Could I possibly kinda throw out "X happens to someone with a weak aura, X happens to someone with a strong one" or would it just be easier if the same thing happened to everyone? Also, the big weakness with the semblance is that it takes some time to become a real problem, it kinda emits from Basil and needs to slowly flow towards its target, and even then throwing up mid-battle isnt inevitable death, I suppose I didnt mention its speed in the post actually.... Buuut if youd rather me rework the semblance, I should be able to come up with something.

Also I was meant to be making out Basil isn't very strong but I guess i'll remove the obvious bit and leave it at "he isnt a very hard hitter"

Any other issues you need addressed?

RWBY : Shattered Future

@Pyromaniacwolf That semblance looks like all kinds of ambiguous... I don't think it'll pass in it's current state personally.

@Sho Minazuki

Would you mind telling me how it's ambiguous? Is it the fact its a random symptom of a disease? Or have I not made it clear enough what it exactly does? If it's the former I could just make it hurt people in the mist, hurting people with weak auras worse than people with strong auras.

RWBY : Shattered Future

So I'm gonna post my guy but looking over the other characters he seems a biiit too similar to Sho's character but I'm going to post him anyway.

Character Sheet

Basil Plagas

Name:Basil Plagas

Age:17

Gender: Male

Race:

Crow Faunus

Appearance:

Basil is tall but skinny, about 6' in height and weighing 140 pounds. He has black eyes with pin pricks of white in the centre (basically a crow's eyes) and extremely dark green hair (often mistaken for black). When relaxing or not in situations that require his skills, he will typically wear dark jeans and a almost always black shirt. When going outside or to battle he will usually wear a dark black trench coat along with the mask and hat typically worn by plague doctors, mainly to hide his eyes from racists but also because his semblance's mist can be unpleasant even for him to touch. He also carries a black satchel including dust vials ,but mainly it is of full of a variety of medicines and poisons.

Kingdom of Origin:

Atlas

Personality:

Basil is cold, greedy and vengeful, he can hold a grudge for a long time, but intelligent and dignified, if he finds himself in a losing situation , he can take the loss in his stride to improve for the future, this combined with a general distrust of people can lead to him being the first to switch sides when a situation looks grim or even go out alone if no parties support his ideals. While not unwilling to share his past with people, he does hold on to secrets for perhaps a little too long. He has a dark sense of humour.

History:

Basil was born in a small town north of Atlas, 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 quickly checked on his father after the carnage, 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 experience left a mark on Basil, one was an even stronger hate for Grimm than most, and the other was a distrust of the authority as he blamed their slow response for his parent's death. He used his newfound strengths to help him get into the Atlas Combat Academy. Basil ,now fueled with anger and bitterness quickly advanced through the combat academy, 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 Bonesawers". (yes I know I'm incredibly bad at naming things). Despite his efforts he was not accepted by Atlas Academy due to his negative attitude. Not that the crow cared much. Instead he applied for Beacon where he was quickly accepted due to his fairly high skills and the school being unaware of his mind-set.

Weapons:The Bonesawers

A normal sword and a sickle with a chain attached to the hilt capable of transforming into a gun.
Dust Use: Pistol is capable of loading all types of dust as ammunition
Forms: Sickle+Sword
Pistol+Sword
Other uses: Sickle can be used as a grappling hook thanks to the chain and is capable of grappling in weak or unaware targets.

Semblance:Plague Warning

Manipulates aura so the user emits a cloud of fog . If it touches an enemy, it will either begin to damage their body, if they remain in the fog for too long,that time ranging from a few minutes if the victim has a low aura reserve to hours if they have a very large aura reserve, it will begin to do permanent damage, amputating fingers or even limbs and in rare cases killing them. The fog is a pale green fog that gradually rises as a battle continues

Strengths:

Plague Warning can potentially cripple a swarm of opponents if Basil is in a battle for long enough. Enemies with smaller aura reserves will take more damage from his semblance. If the user is skilled enough, they can direct the mist at particular areas quickly( Basil can do this but the mist moves at a fairly slow pace)
Basil has fairly large aura reserves.

Weaknesses:

Plague Warning does negligible amounts of damage to enemies with large aura reserves, the oppenent feeling a slight sting at most.
His semblance cannot tell the difference between friend and foe meaning his allies will have just as much trouble with the fog as his opponents, although Basil can direct it away from them if he notices.
Machines are unaffected by his semblance.
Basil cannot hit very hard without any weapons and even then he usually prefers to weaken his foes before engaging in one on one.

*Relationships:

Dolor the Carrion Crow (pet)- Basil's companion, he is usually used for scouting by Basil but it is not uncommon of him to be found stealing food and other items.

Other:

Basil has a knack for medicine and surgery , it is not uncommon to find him making antibiotics and other medicines, if you ask nicely he might just patch you up.
Basil has a distaste for the many governments of the world, while he would not commit acts of terrorism in times of peace, a large scale event may cause him to do so (he mildly sympathises with the White Fang, although would never join them without need or reason)

RWBY : Shattered Future

So are applications still open for this RP? I have a character ready besides a few changes to make him more suited for the RP and how I want to use him but i'd rather check before posting so I dont get an awkward "characters alright but we're full so..bye" response.

Also, how far up to the fall of beacon do you want the character history? Most people seem to be putting it at around where they start attending beacon but thought I should double check.

Pokémon: Start

Well that went pretty bad, I say we focus one of them down. Horsea maybe?

Also I can already tell Lucian is going to play as unfairly as possible against Oaken , either to annoy him or out of necessity to beat his water type

Pokémon: Start

@PlatinumSkink I wouldn't mind turning the battle into a 1v1 , should I let you get a post up for Oakens response before doing anything else? Lucian's made his first move anyway assuming delta doesn't manage to get a post up

The King's Quest

Vauldis' interest had once again began to wane, however before it could fully fade again, the three servants appeared and explained their next move. The mention of gold had caused a glint in the Lycan's eye but quickly shook it off. "So, this fund you speak of is quite...substantial. I trust our reward will be even greater? On that line of thought, why so much gold for a mere starting fund? While I'm sure this quest is not quite a suicide mission, where are we going and what do you expect us to kill for such a large starting fee?" Vauldis fired the questions as they entered his mind. While he had no doubt he would not die on this quest, how long did they expect it to take? After all, the necromancer had things to do and places to go! He couldn't be bound to a single mission for the next few years, Although I suppose I could just leave when the others are resting if it takes too long...maybe cut the elf's ears off before I go as well... The decaying wolf continued his musing for some time after his questions.

Pokémon: Start

As Lucian saw his opponents horsea his smile faded, turning to Ren , he gestured to the water-type "Would you deal with the horsea? Houndour isn't the most effective against water types.." Having said that his focus returned to the battle, Lucian threw his pokeball forwards and released Houndour. The dark type instantly walked up to Lucian and attempted to reach for the pocket holding his watch. The darkly dressed teenager put his hand to his face and sighed before crouching down in front of the houndour "Okay,I understand you like shiny things, but" Lucian paused as he pulled some spare change he had in his back pockets out "See this? We can get alot more shiny things using this. You know how we get more of this?" the dog pokemon shook his head, fascinated by the light reflecting off the coin "Well it's simple. We beat people in battle, so let's do that, shall we?" Houndour gave a toothy grin and turned to his oppenents, barking furiously. Lucian stood up grinning, admiring his handiwork.

"Okay, let's test how brave these fellows are with a little growl" As Lucian spoke Houndour erupted into a menacing growl as he began to approach his opponents . "And follow up with an ember on the... Tyrogue was it? Yes, that fellow" Following Lucians command, Houndor released a blast of embers directed at the fighting type.

Pokémon: Start

So I just realised that Houndour is at a disadvantage either way in this battle, but I guess Tyrogue isn't resistant to fire type moves so he'd be the best pick.

Also, doing two moves in a row is okay, right? I'd assume it would be especially when it's a non-damaging attack then a damaging attack but I'm just checking for future reference.
