"This is it... I'm finally here... All of that training... all of these trials and tribulations... I'm finally about to begin my initiation..."

Eminence thought to himself, as he stood quietly facing the lush expansive green forest ahead ontop of the mountain side where professor Ozpin was giving his speech, his mind aflutter with thought, both good and bad, scared yet excited, determined yet doubtful, his mind didn't know what to think... The only thing he could think about more than his own safety were the others around him... What if something happened? What if someone in the group launched into the forest without a safe landing, what if they get pinned by grimm, consumed like prey by monsters, what if they meet their end inside the forest? The sudden vision of a grimms fangs ripping apart flesh sent a violent shiver down his spine, and his head drooped downward in contemplation... Perhaps he was overthinking things, but even so, to have that thought roaming in his head made him sick... He was scared, for others, not for himself, what if he failed in his initiation, failed to protect his friends? There was always a chance... He shut his eyes, and the pictures of each new recruit about to jump into the forest flashed through his mind... as their pictures burned, the thought of their demise filled him....

"No...!" He thought, as his eyes shot open, staring outward towards the forest, his left hand slowly arching back to grip the handle of Claudia, his Zweihander, no longer trembling, he made sure to tightly hold onto the blade with as much strength as he could muster...

"If I start letting this get to me, then such a future is a possibility! I'm not allowed to think like so! Everyone is going to be dependent on me, they need to rely on me, just as I must rely on them...! I'm not going to let my headmaster, nor these new allies die... I can't!"

Eminence looked to the launch pad beneath him and tested his weight upon it, it was quite the powerful tool no doubt, and the sheer force of its launch will send him hurdling into the forest, as such, he would need to think of a way to land, thinking of a few ideas, it wouldn't be long before his mind came to using his semblance, it had always been what protected him and others from harms way... and he was going to make sure to use it here. Slowly removing his heavy blade from his hilt, Eminence gave a simple nod, and prepared for launch...

"Are there any questions? No? Good, now take your positions."

With a single quick breath, the launch pad from underneath the feet of Eminence activated, a loud blast boomed in resonance and Eminence felt himself being flung outward into the jungle, the force of the launch taking him a little by surprise, however, he wasn't going to let it deter from his first mission, he needed to succeed in his initiation, if he didn't, he would be less than worthless. The faunus took a dive bomb into the forest, as a large plethora of thick wooden tree branches barred his way below. Slowly swiping down with his Zweihander Claudia, the powerful slash of his blade was enough to cleave through the thick wood, and allow him to safely plummet down towards the forest floor, though before landing, Eminence made use of his semblance, creating a shield underneath his feet like a board, the boy landed with a thud, smashing his shield but absorbing most of the impact, making Eminence forward roll, his sword still in his grip once he stopped, a grunt escaping him, before he quickly got up onto his feet, looking around himself... Noticing nothing but thick dark ominous woods around him, his hand still pointed north of where he was facing during the launch, to indicate where he was going to head. 

"Who knows where the others are... As for myself... I'll need to keep an eye and an ear out for anything... if a Grimm approaches, that's bad news..." He thought to himself, before slowly making his way through the forest, his attention completely absorbed by keeping his senses in check, so that nothing will get the drop on him... However, the sound of a close by crash echoed... And in instinct he hurried in the direction of the sound, fearful of another student having been attacked...!

Already done. I guess we'll see by tomorrow.

A headsup - I practically have the first IC post finished. just need to write mr. ozpin's speech. We're going to be starting on the platforms, right before the initiation. Your first posts will basically be you launching into the forest in rapid succession, and then landing, and then whatever u want basically. just dont get to the relics just yet. i have planz.

Actually, would you guys like an OC Headmaster and Staff, or would you be comfortable keeping the canon Headmaster and Staff? I'm fine with either.

They're going to be the only canon characters, by the by, if we do go with that choice.@Dirty Dan

Yeah, i'd say keep the original headmaster and staff, They're awesome.
