@PlatinumSkink Sorry, im just kinda in an awkward point right now where im not sure what to post, I've got an idea now so I should have something by tomorrow.

RWBY : Shattered Future

Basil stared out the window , watching the Nevermores and Gryphons terrorise the skies and occasionally swoop down to pick off anybody unlucky enough to be caught by the Grimm;The White Fang were arriving in ships, releasing even more Grimm into the area.This was madness. Madness I should have anticipated, the governments and militaries of this world were too slow , and this is their reward. Perhaps the fall of Vale will be enough to wake the other kingdoms up...Perhaps not. The events that had just unfolded were unfortunate, but where they really surprising? Atlas had had an interest in robotics for years now and had constantly been improving their new toys for years. Was it really so shocking to think they had began to manufacture robots that could simulate an aura?

That women must have been involved in the attack somehow, but she had a point. Why had Ironwood brought his armies to Vale? Had he planned to take Vale for Atlas? Or did he know something was going to happen? Frankly,Basil didn't know or care; but he did know one thing. The world's leaders had made a cataclysmic mistake, and the hunters were expected to fix it for them..

Basil's scattered thoughts were interrupted by a few of the huntsman in training beginning to speak up after the events that had just took place; most remained in silence however. One of the hunters that had began to speak was Lariah "We've got to be strong. We need to remember who we are. We're hunters, and no terrible situation like this can get the best of us, right?". Basil agreed with this notion, they needed to be strong or they would crumble with the rest of Vale. Basil turned from the window before speaking "I agree with Lariah, sitting here and crying isn't helping anyone. Ironwood and Ozpin have made a mess of this situation, it's our job to clean it up. So get yourselves together, we have a job to do" the faunus spoke in a blunt tone. There was no time for niceness or formalities' right now.

RWBY : Shattered Future

@CadenGallic Sorry for not seeing this sooner , missed this post when I last checked the roleplay.
I think Jaden is probably the character most suited to being the teams leader,so no complaints from me there, Basil will probably find him incredibly annoying alot of the time but I'm sure he can look past that when he needs to. Combat wise, you pretty much put Basil where I'd imagine him to be; not in the middle of the action wearing down opponents and picking off any stragglers with his pistol , but still being able to fight off any close up attackers with his melee weapons if he needs to.

Overall the team looks pretty competent combat wise, possibly getting into unnecessary fights if Jaden is the leader, but still strong.

RWBY : Shattered Future

Oh hey I got accepted, nice.

My team seems good. Not quite sure who should be the team leader so I'll let you guys talk it out and throw my 2p in when I have a suggestion.

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 fuelled 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 opponent 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

@Mr Allen J Yeah I'm kinda horrible at explaining things, haha. I'll try to think of a better way of wording it.

RWBY : Shattered Future

@Mr Allen J Basically if it were a video game mechanic, it would hurt them whenever they're in the mist; people with larger aura reserves take less damage than people with smaller aura reserves, I think that's the best way to think about it.

And yeaaah I've never really got into the habit of using periods so I just kinda drop in commas; probably something I should work on.

RWBY : Shattered Future

Okay I've redone Basil's semblance, done a quick spelling/grammar check and added a few bits in the extra category

Well I guess I'll reword/work basil's semblance and do a grammar/spelling check by tomorrow.

RWBY : Shattered Future

@Lucius Cypher yeah that would...actually be pretty good , not sure if that would make everyone hate Basil for making the battle about 10 times more difficult for both sides to navigate but oh well.
