Inferno, Sielber is ready for review for the most part.
I want to work with Salvia, but I need feedback from Zee's player first.
### Salvia Wiess, the White Sage ###
** Name:** Salvia Wiess (last name is not set. I am considering having this character being related to Zee, like a sister or something)
** Age:** 17
** Race:** Human
** Appearance:**
**Personality:** Focused, heroic, sharp.
** Weapon:** Godspear
[Spear](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-DAPKvPWwFFQ/VE47-vL09qI/AAAAAAAADNg/kCZeVYZ4KUY/w1600-h818/god_of_war_spear_by_range_finder-d5g6n17.jpg)
Blade shifts down and becomes like a bayonet, the butt end of the spear folds into stock, while part of it pops out into a scope. Grip is canted down at an angle, forming a pistol style grip, trigger rests under the index as more of a button. Can fire large caliber slugs, or can fire a scatter-type shot, like a shotgun. Useful at various ranges. Dust can be used to modify the type of damage it does.
Carry Mode: the blade folds in half, and the whole thing telescopes into a handle or stick about a foot, to a foot and a half long, like an Escrima stick. (can be a self defense tool in this form) usually carried on a thigh holster, boot/calf holster, or can be threaded through a belt, or something.
** Semblance:** Force Lance - This semblance creates a shaft of force, typically 3 feet wide, by sixty feet long, but can vary down to half an inch wide, but as width is narrowed, length can be extended. If the length is shorted, the width can be widened. It can be sent in any direction. This is pure force, or kinetic energy, which can be manifested in any direction, and the point of origin to the terminus can be determined at will.
**Color:** Sage
** Backstory:**
Salvia was born the daughter of a wealthy merchant, a man who used his abilities to travel and trade wares. When she was 6 her father was killed by the white fang, all because of a labor dispute. Her father wasn't really that bad to his faunus workers, times were just lean for all of them and they happened to be some of the only people he could hire. While many humans would have used this as an excuse for blatant speciesism. Instead, Salvia from that age on, fought for the rights of faunus. She believed that the only way that her father could have been saved would have been for the white fang to have never been needed. She hopes that she can rid the world of need for such measures, that's the only way.
### Sielber Vulpez ###
**Name:** Sielber Vulpez
**Age:** 17
**Race:** Faunus
**Appearance:** Single tail, not nine. Hair would be silvery white in winter, but changes toward spring and summer to be rusty, brownish, and reddish, like the changing fur of the Arctic foxes her name is drawn from.
Color: Silver
[Concept 2 - realistic/grown](http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/274/6/5/ahri_by_overweight_cat-d817lpc.jpg)
**Personality:** (Subject to change during play, as this is just guestimation. She could wind up totally different.) Can be elusive or evasive. Cautious, careful, wary. Smart, but when finds those that she can trust or are worthy, will attach to them strongly. Can be manipulative, and play tricks from time to time. Sometimes likes to mess with others, especially when she perceives them as less intelligent, or needing to be knocked down a peg. She might be percieved as petty or passive-aggressive, or at least snide or sarcacstic. This is done sometimes to be funny, or to hide her true feelings, or at least vent them. Probably a bit of a smart-ass. Foxes can be social and affectionate creatures, but often they aren't good at it, or don't know how at first. As such, Seilber can fall into this pattern. Inquisitive, curious, nosy, which can lead to trouble, and may be likely to push the boundaries of the rules. May become aggressive when an opponent is perceived as weak.
**Weapon:** Spin Blade form, Bow (ranged, handles join in middle, string is energy, fires Dust based energy packets, regular or modified arrows), can be joined and thrown like a double bladed short spear/javelin. Carry mode: The necks telescope down, and the teardrop shaped heads join the handles, the handles swing out and snap into place, covering the blades, and each one can be slipped away into pockets, pouches, or kept with the blade heads out, but in short handle mode, or can simply be threaded through a belt.

**Semblance:** Mirage Replay - This semblance creates illusion, of the user, or whatever the user touches. Can be used to leave behind an afterimage, or multiple images (such as Mirror Image spell), but can be used with a weapon to disguise which incoming attack is the real one, or can treat each illusion as 'real', but only the true weapon can kill. It allows rapid follow-up shots or strikes as the afterimage/mirage catches up and follows through. Very useful in confusing opponents, and providing a defensive and offensive edge. At high levels of use, aura can be manifested to be solid or semi-solid, but only for short periods. (more detail to follow)
**Backstory:** Sielber has grown up under the racial persecution that plagues her kind, able to avoid much of it because of her more acceptable looks. Often perceived as 'cute' because of the pointy ears and a tail, this has lessened the blow somewhat. Still, it has lead her to be cautious, and perhaps even a bit fearful, hearing the horror stories told by other Faunas. Keeping people at arms length has been something of a defense mechanism, at least against humans.
Finding more acceptance in the ranks of the Faunas, and at least one organization she has deigned to omit from her record she began to focus on some basic but rigorous combat training. Her natural agility, speed, sharp senses, and cunning allowed her to do well. Well enough that she applied to Beacon. Her main hope, was to protect her fellow Faunas, as well as provide something of a buffer against the racism experienced for her kind, by becoming an example (good or bad is unknown, but hopefuly good). She hopes that her kind do not take on sort of a guard-dog role for Humankind, as that would be a step in the wrong direction, but is instead seen on more equal footing. That's something worth fighting for. Is this the only reason for going to Beacon... maybe, maybe not. (GM if you want more info, I'll be happy to PM you the things I have in mind, and the details.)
Just checking to see if there was some greater, hidden reason. But I wasn't talking about just a year older, but like... someone in their twenties. Not saying I intend to do that, or want to do that, (I absolutely don't.)
I can easily make either character 17 ish, so that's no big deal.
Okay, I have a question, in regards to characters older than age 17. Why can they not be older? It's an academy with combative entrance requirements. I can understand having an age limit on the low end, but unless they are old and a shut-in, I'm not seeing a reason to limit it past a certain point. Can you provide a solid, logic-based, reason for this?
Anyway, so I was thinking about having Zee be related to Salvia, based on color, weapons, and the like.
I am also shooting for making the Semblance have some interrelation to the character's nature or personality. I also included color references, or I will, for both characters, which is also another theme for RWBY.
All the following characters and items and abilities are works in progress.
### Faunus Character
**Name:** (in progress, still deciding)
**Age:** 16
**Race:** Faunus
**Appearance:** Single tail, not nine.
[Concept 2 - realistic/grown](http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/274/6/5/ahri_by_overweight_cat-d817lpc.jpg)
**Personality:**
**Weapon:** Spin Blade form, Bow (ranged, handles join in middle, string is energy, fires Dust based energy packets, regular or modified arrows), can be joined and thrown like a javelin, or short double-ended staff.

At high levels of use, aura can be manifested to be solid or semi-solid, but only for short periods. (more detail to follow)
**Backstory:** None yet, most likely to have some entanglement with a certain terrorist group.
### Salvia
** Name:** Salvia Wiess (last name is not set. I am considering having this character being related to Zee, like a sister or something)
** Age:** 16
** Race:** Human
** Appearance:**
**Personality:**
** Weapon:** Spear/Rifle combo (originally, may change)
** Semblance:** (You can go a bit OP with this if you want, but remember that the more powerful your semblance the faster it drains Aura, so a really powerful Semblance will leave you vulnerable to attack more quickly)
**Color:** Sage
** Backstory:**
Lemme post what I have, real quick, so people can see what I am working on.
damnit... I had similar ideas.
I have two character concepts incoming. I can't seem to make up my mind.
