I find it funny that people are picking this apart when Tarkus has a fucking Artillery cannon inside of a hammer head.
Agreed... I did a little research first, it's not really that OP at all.

Bio
I'm a 30 (jeez I'm 30 now) year old guy from Middle of Nowhere, USA. Nearest town of any size is nearly 30 minutes from where I live I now live in a slightly-larger-than-small-town I now live in an actually decent sized town. I spend most of my free time on a free to play Magic the Gathering client where I'm a mod and judge but I do still spend a little bit everyday on here. I now spend most of my free time working on my own creative endeavors which includes the media review podcast Copilots Review of which I am one half of. And basically spend no time on here. I have however not been overly active as of late on here. Anyways I've been roleplaying for about 17 years now, getting my start in tabletops and only recently joined the ranks of forum roleplay about 11 years ago. That said I love RPing, Magic the Gathering and music.
If anyone needs to reach me off the guild I'm very reachable on Kik at rawrespada4 and at my hotmail... which you guessed it is rawrespada4@hotmail.com. Honestly if you see a rawrespada4 somewhere it's probably me, this is my username for just about everything so feel free to say hey if you me somewhere. Best bet to reach me off guild now days though is on discord where my user is Rawrespada4 #0581.

It's more the fire rate and the fact he can have 60 explosions out in under 3 seconds that makes it too much. That's like, leveling a house before people react to the first 'bang'.
The red dust rounds result in explosion and I wasn't thinking like "BOOM" more like "bang", more like a bottle rocket+bullet then grenade plus bullet, I'll go back and clarify that. But the firing speed that is mentioned in the weapon description is again under perfect conditions, more likely he'll be firing at half that or less because a) ammo conversation b) it'll only be in perfect conditions for the first few bullets then the chamber and metal pieces will be too hot too maintain that firing rate and c) firing less at a time allows for increased accuracy
The typical stun gun can put out 20,000 to 150,000 volts. What matters is how long someone is exposed to it. As for fire rate an M16 can fire up to 16 rounds per second (keep in mind this is in top working condition and when all parts are cool, same as the 24 rounds per second for Valkou). A chain gun can fire between 34 and 100 rounds per second depending on how cool the parts are and what condition every thing is in. Valkou sits (at it's prime) somewhere between a chain gun and an M16 in both firing rate and accuracy.
here's my upper classman... I'll add a list of his teammates and their semblances along with a team name later.
Name: Nicol Nystrom
Nickname: Nic
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 20, 3rd year student.
Weapons: Valkou
Nic’s weapon of choice is a custom made long sword that’s edge is a dust actualizer (similar to the palm of Addica’s gloves). This gives his blade the ability to either become super-heated (through the use of red dust) or to become something of a bladed Taser (if used in conjunction with ?yellow? dust). Further Nic’s sword has the ability to transform into a high powered assault rifle capable of firing dust infused rounds and a special self-manufactured round designed by Nic. Further the blade of the sword becomes an extendable bayonet for the rifle. The maximum fire rate of Valkou is 24 rounds a second meaning that it can empty it’s 60 round cartridges in a matter of 2 and half seconds (Nic normally carries 6 additional clips on his belt, one of which is loaded with rounds that are infused with red dust, resulting in an explosive impact. The other rounds are custom made solid yellow dust and an impact based ignition trigger. These rounds are similar to getting hit by 60,000 volts of electricity.)
Equipment:
Armor: C.A.D.S or Cads
C.A.D.S. is short for Condensing Armor Deployment System. Cads name originate from it's original design of central hubs, over the last few years Nic has upgraded it to the point that the name is basically outdated and only kept for sentimental reasons. Now the armor takes the form of a cape when inactive and when activated the armor forms a form-fitting heavy duty armor that covers the entire body (from the neck down including the tops of the hands, but not the fingers as well as the top of the feet). Total armor deployment time averages around 4 seconds, retraction time is slightly longer at 6 seconds.
Despite the form-fittingness of the armor it is incredibly heavy duty and can take large amounts of damage before cracking or breaking.
On a side note this armor system was designed by Nic and is what Addica’s arm guards are based on.
Semblance: Center of Attention
Nic’s semblance attracts the attention of individuals he focuses on (at this point his range is about 30 feet or a little over 9 meters). Not only does it draw their focus but he can use it to draw attacks towards him as well as ranged projectiles, this can even go as far as defying physics and forcing a bullet to curve it’s path so as to head towards him rather than an ally.
As such Nic’s semblance was nearly useless in prep school where all training and bouts were done in one on one fights. As such he had to relay completely on his own natural skill and ability. Having no usable combat semblance Nic placed 47th in combat out of his graduating class of 243, barely making the top 50.
Outside of combat though Nic found that his semblance was useful for drawing teachers’ attention in class, making him a natural favorite of teachers. Or drawing attention away from his friends so that they didn’t get into trouble. Ultimately though he was able to use it to get in with the right people and to help make him a show in to Beacon. Once he got to Beacon he used his semblance to quickly make new friends.
Note this does not change the temperament of those whose attention he attracts.
Hobbies: Nic’s primary hobby is weapon and armor design. He also enjoys spending time with his friends and team. Nic also enjoys cooking.
Bio:
The story from Addica’s bio about Nic only reflects what Addica knows.
Nic was born the heir to Nystrom Defense Contracting, one of the top defense contracting firms in all of Vytal. His childhood was filled with learning of different languages, proper etiquette, musical instruments and lessons about business. None of this really appealed to Nic and it was only when his Uncle Gerhart Nystrom, the younger brother of his father, came home from hunting grimm that Nic became truly excited. So it was no shock to any of the family that when Gerhart was killed in action by a grimm that Nic took it harder than anyone else. Nic decided shortly after that he wanted to be a hunter like his uncle, and have his own tales of glory. Even if it meant dying young as his uncle had. So two short years later at the age of 12 he told his parents of his plans. They both immediately shut him down and told him that he would not be attending any of the numerous hunter preparatory school rather he was going to attend an academy devoted to academics. His parents had their reasons, namely that Nic was the sole heir to the Nystrom family and secondly that they didn’t want him dying like his uncle had. They wanted a full life for their son.
Nic being only 12 did not understand these reasons nor would he have cared had he been capable of understanding. As soon as his parents denied him the permission to become a hunter Nic began forging the documents that would allow his admission into Lantern Academy, one of the lesser known academies in Vale. He used the false name Nicholas Gearhart and using his allowance had fake ID and everything else made for him. Upon his acceptance he planned his escape. In the middle of the night he gathered all his money (little over 500 lien) as well as extra clothes and the final piece, the key to his uncle’s apartment, which the family still owned and had not been touched since his death. Although no one paid the utilities for the apartment anymore so Nic would have to deal with no water, electricity or heat. Other than having a roof over his head it was basically a homeless existence that Nic was looking forward to as he attended Lantern. He arrived in Vale almost 6 month before Lantern’s classes started, it was one afternoon well he was walking through the streets that he saw a group of guys beating two younger children, grabbing a pipe off the ground of the alley Nic attacked one of them causing the others to run. As the children thanked him and introduced themselves and explained their circumstances to him he couldn’t help but feeling selfish as neither of them had parents. So he decided to adapt his story to make himself fit in with them better, telling them that his parents were dead and that they (not his uncle) had been the hunters that had inspired him to become one himself. He also stretched the 6 months of his leaving alone and “homeless” to a 6 years. He let the two crash in the apartment he was squatting in and the three soon became friends. He then convinced them both to also attend Lantern, and much to all’s surprise both managed to get in. They spent the year together but the year’s close brought Nic’s graduation and his acceptance into Beacon. As well as a pledge from Addica and Bree to meet him there in 3 years.
Nic left shortly before he had to for Beacon to go home to his parents, he may have made it through Lantern without them but he didn’t have the money to attend Beacon on his own. Arriving home he found out that his father had passed away. His mother gave him a letter that his father had left for him. The letter told Nic that his father had accepted his choice of becoming a hunter although he was still leaving the company in Nic’s hands. In his absence Nic’s mother had been running the company and she agreed to keep running it and to finance his schooling on the condition that when he graduated he would personally run the company. Nic agreed but knew that he would eventually leaving the company in the hands of a board of trustees.
Arriving at Beacon Nic made it through the entrance exam and team placement for finding out about Bree’s death. Nic blamed himself for her death thinking that if he hadn’t left early to visit his parent he could have been there to save her. Despite depression at the beginning of the year Nic managed to become team leader and has since led a successful team. He also began sending Addica money under the guise that he had a part time job (which he has never had), this money is what helped to fund Addica’s weapon, armor and the purchase of his phone.
Personality: Nic is a strong and confidant leader. He radiates confidence and is willing die to protect his teammates as he as shown on many occasions. Nic is incredibly smart and kind but he as a serious side that he only lets out when the situation demands it. His teammates are some of the few that have seen this serious side with any frequency.
Appearance: Nic has neck length blonde hair and blue eyes, on the streets he wore whatever he could afford now days he wears a much nicer attire that is almost always semi-formal, which he accents with a heavy black cloak with gold dream.

The disorder in this OOC is clearly due to a lack of Unicorn wizards.
Here's your Unicorn Wizard Limey

You. I like the way you think.Pyron and Cororo were the ORIGINAL Unicorn Wizards!
I hadn't seen this yet
Having woken early to grab a light breakfast and hit the showers before they got too busy Addica found himself sitting in the locker room his foot pounding out the beat of the song blasting through his ear phones, singing along with the music under his breath "Cause this is the day your life is gonna change There's no escape, apology would be...". The music was pumping him up as he slid the Reisszahne on after having just checked the entire weapon and reassuring himself that it was still fully loaded with yellow dust for a third time. Standing up Addica strapped Fang to his left hip and then began to check over all his equipment in his head 'Reisszahne? Check and Check. Reloads for Reisszahne? Check. Arm guards? Check. Padded armor? *Addica pats himself down* Check. Fang? Check. Now what do we about my phone? It's apps could come in handy but I can't afford to replace it ahh... I guess I'll leave it in my locker'. Letting the song finish Addica stopped the music took note of the time 9:33 A.M. and shut his phone off, putting both the phone and ear phones in the locker grabbing his jacket he noticed one of his classmates flipping through a book, seemingly detached from his surroundings although Addica could sense the emotions underneath this detached exterior, the guy was excited and a little nervous a lot like Addica himself, although Addica wasn't bothering to hide it.

And thanks for the Arrun compliment, Rawr, I prolly coulda worded it better, but I hope it sounds purty kewlzville. :P
No probs Nef, I enjoyed his post speech interaction with the other teachers.
I honestly hadn't been watching the IC very closely except for looking for a Kiora post and to see if the time skipped had occurred. So right now I am catching up on the IC and Nef I have to say Arrun has the best quote thus far in my opinion.

"The ones that were receptive will be inspired. The ones that weren't will try to prove me wrong, and excel because of it,"
So I need to finish up my upperclassman rather soon so that I can get his backstory to you before your secret meeting of GMs+Erode :D will submit it by the end of Wednesday Cali time.
"It's no problem," Addica said with a smile, "there isn't really any reason to apologize. And as friends go I don't really know anyone in our class... I graduated from Lantern early so any friends I would have had coming with me got left behind. Not that I had any friends there," Addica's smile faded and he kind of blushed as he realized how he had just portrayed himself to this person who was virtually a stranger to him. Deciding to glaze over his lack of friends rather than continue to highlight Addica quickly changed the subject. "Yeah, I'm Addica. And if I remember correctly you said your name is Kiora?" he said this as they rounded a corner and the food court came into sight.
