[OOC] RWBY AU RP(hard reset, see new thread)

[Torack]

Alright, I changed the name as you asked!

[Phantomlink959]

Much appreciated. *makes note of initials in team creation.txt*
Word of warning, as with the show, teams will be decided out of game in advance.
by me. Don't worry, though, if you request to be put on a team with certain people I will be taking it into account.

how are we supposed to make the right character for this RP if we don't know the trait that our characters have to have

[Phantomlink959]

.....................Damnit, I was hoping to keep it a secret.
They must be adaptable, able to quickly adjust when the total shitstorm of the awakening occurs, which is why the man in silver throws a spanner in the works of each potential champions life, to test them. the trial he engineers for each group is meant to strengthen them and gain them credibility so the world will be wiling to follow. In addition, they need to be the sort of people the world can rally behind, be it because of their strength, leadership ability, or even just because they are trustworthy.
I was hoping to be all super-cryptic about it, but you have a point.

Physique: Average build with a muscular physique from near constant training.
Combat Outfit: Black combat pants with orange stripes down the outside of either leg, black combat boots and sleeveless under shirt. Ballistic vest with composite armor over top forming an interlocking breastplate (color of polished copper).
Casual Outfit: White button up shirt and blue jeans.

3) Characteristics:

Personality: Helpful and quick to laugh with his friends, he's never strived to be widely accepted. Preferring to have a few close friends that he can understand and rely on. He's been known to help strangers when needed, but those who are apathetic towards their own mistakes, especially when they effect others, only enrage him.
Background: Jason was born in Vale to a family of Huntsmen. His father, uncle, grand and great-grand parents were huntsmen or huntresses of one kind or another. His father and uncle were close, being only one year ahead of his uncle they would often train together while at Beacon Academy. Once his uncle had graduated he'd joined Jason's father and went on most of their missions together. His father and mother met shortly thereafter, Jason was born two years later and his sister, Olivia, two years after that. Three years later his father and uncle were sent to dispatch a small pack of beowolves that had been spotted near the city. But somebody had made a mistake, while tracking the pack they were ambushed by more than five times what had been reported. By the time rescue arrived they had both been killed, taking dozens of Grimm with them.
Growing up after that was hard, especially hard on his mother. For the first few years she did what she could but as she became more withdrawn Jason made it his responsibility to care for his sister and mother. For five years he acted as a surrogate father to his sister and ensured that his mother got the help she needed. Once able to care for herself and his sister, Jason began following in his fathers footsteps. After some initial protesting of his enrollment, his mother resigned, saying he was too much like his father. On the day he was accepted to Beacon Academy, she presented him with an old but ornate wooden box. Inside was the gun that had been passed down for generations on his fathers side, she told him it was tradition that the oldest child carry it and that he should have something to remember his father by.

4) Combat info:

Position/Class: Brawler
Landing strategy: Uses his semblance to impact the ground at full force, preferring the shock-and-awe it creates as opposed to a more conservative landing.
Weapon: Two lever-action shotguns with a single blade along the magazine coming to a point ahead of the barrel. Also carries an old six-shooter hand cannon that's a family heirloom for good luck. (Has ornate gold scrollwork over the entire weapon)
Semblance: Becomes enveloped in a metallic coating the same color as his aura, making him able to take substantial hits without even flinching.
Fighting style: Incorporates a lot of spinning slashes to allow for reloading of weapons. Prefers to use guns as a way of thinning out the enemy before engaging with swords.

5) Trivia:

Relationships: None of note.
Notes: Titian: A bright auburn colour, tinted with gold.

[Phantomlink959]

He's definitely got the adaptability thing, not quite sure how I feel about his semblance, but it's well within acceptable perameters. one major problem: how does his name meet CNR?

[Against This]

I'd like to throw in my hat as well as a potential applicant.

[Phantomlink959]

Well then, put up a character. show me what you've got.

@Phantomlink959

Titian is a color, often used when referring to hair that is reddish-brown. If you want something a little more obvious i can change it.

[Phantomlink959]

I named one of my characters 'Kanika' because it fit CNR in kenyan. put in the notes HOW it fits CNR (word definition will work) and you're good.
Oh, and welcome aboard.

Hmmmm... What do you think of having each player do a trailer showing a simple scenario so I can get a better feel for them? it would help me when determining teams as well.

[Fatal Error 1337]

Ok titian is in the notes. As for a trailer thing, are we talking the teasers they did in RWBY for each of the characters?

[Phantomlink959]

Basically, yeah. it's just a thought. although... let's hold off until we have enough players, we'll format them as being the characters entrance exams.
Go ahead and put Titian into characters

[Phantomlink959]

bump

[Fatal Error 1337]

Ok... I'm getting a little worried...

[Phantomlink959]

Yeah, i guess my dislike of pictures has scared everyone off, even though I specifically stated that people could use them if they really wanted to.
that or my AU is poorly explained and excessively confusing to everyone but me.

I think I'm just gonna close it, not enough interest. maybe do a cannon RP that takes place after RWBY and JNPR graduate or something.

[SilverWolfAngel]

@Phantomlink959

I could put together a character. you'll have to wait until tomorrow for her, but I could stop stalking the thread and actually join. :)

Yes I do feel your dislike of pictures is …uh …irksome, (I find it much easier to understand things using a picture and words) but I can see where you are coming from. :)

I might be a little confused at your explanation but that is probably due to it being 3:40 in the morning and I'm madly cramming in Maths homework. :)

Ummmm… I think that's all I was going to say?

Yep. That's it.

I'll re-read your explanation tomorrow, and pull together my character then, kay?

[Phantomlink959]

That would be nice.

[Phantomlink959]

IF we don't get enough interested RP-ers, I do have 1 character I can loophole in by taking a little artistic license with Beacons policy on transfer students.

[Against This]

My CS is also almost done. Yesterday turned out to be a rather long one so I couldn't get much done. It should be posted within the next hour or two.

@Phantomlink959

I'm still here. I was just workin' on other characters is all, and my character is kiiiinda turning out like Weiss so I'm desperately trying to make it different, but failing miserably ;-;
