Beacon's Light: Rising - OOC (RWBY)

As the excitement died out Addica was left standing in the middle of an empty space, everyone else having left as fast as the whole occurrence had happened. Addica moved towards the rail next to the window, but kept his focus on the mass of students milling about rather than the impressive sight of Beacon out the window. As he stood there with his back to the rail he searched the crowd reading as many people as possible as fast as possible. Sometimes the ability to read people's emotions got annoying (especially because it wasn't something he could shut off) but at other times it was comforting. He could tell that most of the students, like himself, were nervous about Beacon and those that weren't nervous were for the most part excited. Sadly he didn't recognize anyone, at least not well enough to approach them. Looking over the crowd Addica saw a few people that were alone, a boy in a long black cloak with dark blue accents in his armor and clothing (Tirren), a girl with long red hair (Sayuri) and a faunus girl sitting alone (Casterly). Deciding that he should at least try to make one friend before they landed he pulled his phone out and opened an chance simulator, much preferring to let chance make such decisions for him (read: I rolled a dice to decide who to throw Addica at). And so the red haired girl it was. Addica slid his phone back into his pocket and pulled his remaining earbud out of his ear and thrust the earphones in his pocket with the phone. Straightening himself up he brushed his jacket flat then crossed the area to the girl. "Hey... ummm... I'm Addica and I saw that you were alone and ummm," Having no idea what to say Addica began stumbling over his words, he felt weird just randomly approaching someone but how else was one to make friends. Catching himself he restarted, "Hey, I'm Addica." figuring that the simple introduction was better than something outstandingly creepy; he let it hang in the air before he flashed a smile and offered his hand out for a shake.

I can't redo my history, since it revolves around the actual Puss in Boots story. So I guess we're stuck with a bunch of mentally unstable orphans. @_@

EVEN ADDICA'S AN ORPHAN!!!

He also has a hero complex... but we won't get into that just yet

Watching the jock and his group walk off Addica began to relax a little and in doing so let his semblance deactivate. "That dark skinned man with the hammers... I don't like him... I couldn't even begin to get a read on him." Addica thought to himself. Turning his gaze away from the jock and his cronies Addica turned to the swordsman. "Well honestly I don't know what was going on just now but man you are a beast with that sword of yours."

Hearing the shaggy haired boy explain why the Jock tried to force a confrontation Addica turned towards him "Eh, well some people are just sore losers. Now aren't they? Anyways I am Addica, it's nice to meet you."

And Addica has made his appearance

Beacon's Light: Rising - OOC (RWBY)

Despite the metal music playing through his headphones Addica still managed to be awoken by the sound of a motorcycle's engine. Quickly sitting up he pulled one of the earbuds out and began looking for the origin of the noise. Finally identifying the motorcycle Addica relaxed a bit. "They probably just got impatient with this trip, not that I can blame them" Addica thought to himself.

Leaving the earbud out he began looking around at his fellow classmates and stretching his muscles out. It was with his hands extended over his head and his back arched that he caught of the three students ducking around a corner while another student drew his weapon with such speed that Addica could barely follow it, nor could the guy that the sword was aimed for. Barely missing the dudes head Addica got the impression that the swordsman had intentionally missed him. Addica couldn't help but being simultaneously impressed and frightened. Addica took a second and gathered his focus then began examining the hulking jock's emotions, who seemed to be also responding with a mix of frighten and wonder but he was still mainly filled with anger.... anger about what though Addica had no idea. Next he turned his attention to the swordsman, all he got from him was a sense of calm and focus. It was almost contagious. As he let the swordsman's calm wash over him he heard the swordsman say something to the jock... something about killing from what Addica could hear, more important than what he heard though was the emotional reaction of the jock.which went from terrified directly to enraged.

Letting instinct take over Addica quickly rose from his seat and found his way in between (or as in between as possible) the two of them, activating his semblance as he moved. Looking at the jock Addica began "Are you really that dense? This guy (nods at the Daiki) could have just killed you without batting an eyelash. You are way out of your league. Whatever it is you're trying to start I suggest you just back down," Turning his back to the jock (but leaving his semblance active) he turned to the swordsman "And if I were you I'd just wait till the entrance exam if you really have a problem with this idiot. From wha...." Addica's sentence was cut off as the jock tried to smack him aside, luckily Addica had prepared his semblance for just such a thing and ducked the blow, "As I was saying.. (dodges another blow) from what I hear the entrance exam is more than deadly enough to explain the loss of one idiot... (dodges again)... jock"

I think it's time for Addica to join in xD

On that note I'm sorry I have been busy since last night and hadn't found time to read through all this until now

Oh one more thing Nef, is it okay for us to have multiple characters? AND is it okay for some of those characters to be upperclassmen? (I have two characters done, both are freshmen and then am almost done with an upperclassman)

Here's Addica :)

Addica Vald

Name:Addica Vald
Nickname: n/a
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 15, almost 16
Weapons:Reisszahne
Twin elbow length gloves that have small Dust tubes on the top, this tubing is covered by a black microfiber cloth. These tubes connect via internal tubing within the gloves to small circular areas on the palm of the gloves. The dust is used to either fire short burst of elemental energy or charge into larger attacks (it is primarily loaded with yellow dust as he prefers to use electricity in combination with the here after mentioned cables). Attached to the bottom of the gloves are black tubes that resemble barrels. Inside either of these barrels is a long bladed kunai attached to a length of metal cable(of approx. 25 feet). These can be either fired or released into the palm providing either an additional long range attack option or melee weapons. The cable has a powerful winch inside designed to retract the kunai, if used correctly the weapon can be used in a hookshot like manner. The cable and the kunai are both made from a highly conductive but strong metal.
The gloves and the tubing for the cable are both black. The circular area in the palm is when inactive white but when being used glows the color of the dust that is being channeled.
The cable and the kunai are both made from an incredibly durable and conductive metal. The kunai on impact from a throw or if launched spreads hooks into the surface that digs into, this provides a way to lock the blade in place whether that place be a wall, tree or enemy. These hooks are locked into place until released by Addica’s aura
Equipment: Along with Reisszahne Addica carries a short blade (about 1 foot in length)(this blade is often called Fang) on his hip. This functions as a defensive weapon and is often used in a reverse handed style in order to block and parry blows with. On left side, wielded with left hand.
Along with the short blade he also carries vials of dust in pockets on his belt, these are used to refuel Reisszahne.
He also keeps a hairband in his pocket for tying his hair back before a fight.
Armor: Addica’s armor consists of banded metal plating along the top of his arms/hands and up to his shoulders, this partially to protect the dust tubing in Reisszahne and partially to give him a larger surface to block with. This partial metal plating slides up to the top of his shoulders overlaying one another, they are deployed through and retracted through the use of his aura. The rest of the armor is ribbed padding located on his sides, lower legs, knees and directly over his chest.

Semblance: Spirit of a Friend*
Addica’s Semblance falls into two parts an active and a passive. The passive is an ability that allows him to sense people’s surface emotions, when he talks about it he jokingly refers to it as his friend-dar as it lets him find people that are more open to being friendly. Also this allows him to sense people around him with hostile intentions. As it is Addica can only read someone’s emotions if they are currently in his scope of sight eventually though this passive has the ability to allow him to sense everyone in the immediate area around him. On another note his friend-dar doesn't ever really turn off but he can ignore it to an extent.
The active portion of Addica’s Semblance is a danger sense that both increases his perception and his ability to dodge incoming attacks, including attacks that he shouldn’t rightfully be able to see coming. Currently Addica can only maintain this part of his Semblance for 15 minutes at the very max, at this point he has pushed all of his energy into it and not even his passive would be active. If he actually attempts to hold his active semblance for 15 minutes it's likely that at the end of this time he will collapse and pass out.

Hobbies: Sleeping, metal music, training/studying and eating cookies

Bio: Left on the streets at an early age Addica had to learn to fend for himself to this. Stealing food, clothing and whatever other necessities he needed. It was while on the streets that he met Bree, a cat fauna (both were 7). She and Addica quickly became friends living together in the back allies. A short three years later Addica and Bree were cutting through an alley when they were attacked by a group of guys a few years older than themselves. Two of the guys grabbed Bree and started beating her while a third pinned Addica to a wall and taunted him for spending his time with fauna. Addica could do nothing but scream for someone to save them, save Bree. And just when he had about given up hope an older boy smashed one of the guys that was kicking Bree’s unmoving body across the back of the head with a pipe. Watching their friend crumble to the ground the other two bullies ditched. The boy who had rescued them introduced himself to them as Nicol. Nicol was himself 13 and had spent the last 6 years of his life living on the streets. Nicol was the orphaned son of a hunter and huntress and he told the youngsters glorious tales of his parents who died fighting the monsters of Grimm. Despite their untimely death Nicol aspired to be like his parents and to that ended he had fought his way into Lantern (one of the less well known Hunter preparatory schools). He was the like the a big brother to both Bree and Addica. Nico protected them both from other less kind people that lived on the streets, especially Bree from those that would do her harm because she was a fauna. After Nicol began attending Lantern he began to teach Addica and Bree the things he learned and when they turned 13 urged them to apply to the same prep school he was going to. To both of their surprise and with Nicol’s help they both managed to get in. The three spent all their free time at school together and had their lunch hour with one another. But the end of Bree and Addica’s first year at the school brought to them a bittersweet joy in that Nicol had been accepted into the most elite of Hunter Academies, Beacon. Both Addica and Bree made it their personal goal to join him there as soon as possible. It wasn't but days after Nicol left that the two were cornered in an alley by the same group of Fauna haters that Nicol had kept at bay over the past 4 years. This time there was no Nicol to save them and all Addica could do was watch as they beat Bree to death the whole time yelling insults at her based strictly off the fact that she was a fauna. After they had beat her to the point that she was more a smear on the ground then a person the guy holding Addica to the wall slammed him hard against before dropping him to the ground and kicking him hard in the stomach. Spitting on him and calling him a dirty fauna lover the guys left Addica and the now brutalized Bree on the ground. Eventually Addica was able to find help but even at the hospital there was little they could do for Bree and Addica sat beside her the whole time watching her slowly succumb to the beating that she had been dealt at the hands of a group of ignorant racists. Bree had been Addica’s best friend and he loved her. Watching her die was one of the most scarring things he could imagine but he sat next to her, holding her hand until the machine that measured her heart beat flat lined. Over the two years following Bree’s death Addica pushed himself to his very limit managing to get out of the academy and accepted into Beacon in within a 3 year time period. After watching his best friend and his first love die Addica had vowed to never let such senseless violence pervaded the life of those he loved again and to that end he was going to become as strong as possible…. Because if he had been as strong then as he was now Bree would still be alive.

A couple random facts that matter that didn't fit into the backstory. Addica graduated a whole year early from Lantern and at the top of that years graduating class. Because of this he is only able to actually attend Beacon because of an academic scholarship he is receiving from the school. This means that he both has to keep out of too much trouble and that he has to maintain his grades.

Personality: On the surface Addica is a fun loving guy, that likes to make new friends. He loves talking about music and normal teenager things, movies, games, the newest in hunter weaponry, the usual. But below that is a more grown up darker individual (watching your best friend be murdered will do that to you). He cannot stand racism whether directed at humans or fauna. He would sooner die then see someone he cares about hurt again.

Appearance:
Addica is about 5’8 and lean with wiry but slightly muscular build. Addica has straight shaggy black hair that he lets hang freely to his shoulders. His eyes are an almost grey shade of blue and his face carries a natural look of seriousness. This seriousness disappears once he starts laughing and enjoying himself. His preferred outfit is one of blue jeans, a band t-shirt of some sort and a black jacket with a hood (he wears the ribbed armor underneath these “street clothes”).



*the name for his Semblance comes from the fact that Bree was cat fauna. Cats are proven to be able to sense emotions and their whiskers act as danger sense in that they sense vibrations in the air.

Post Sample:
“Huh… was that really all a dream?” Addica wondered aloud to himself as he set up aboard the airship on his way to Beacon. He could have sworn that he had already arrived and that a psychotic girl with blue hair and a chainsaw had destroyed the auditorium. “At least this time I won’t oversleep unloading and arrival” . Looking around he saw a variety of other students. Some he recognized from the halls of his previous school, most though he didn’t. Along with just looking at his fellow classmates Addica was unintentionally scanning their surface emotions, it was something about his semblance that he just couldn’t turn off. At times he had to admit it was rather annoying but at other times it was a life saver and then again even at times like this it could be useful, this last though occurred as he noticed a girl over by one of the windows who was letting off a pretty consistent stream of fear. Still groggy eyed Addica stood up, brushed the wrinkles out of his clothes, grabbed his bag and walked over to her. “Hey, I’m Addica” introducing himself he shot her a sincere smile and stuck his hand out offering a handshake, “What are you doing over here by yourself?”
