From what I know, we will be starting after the Initiation, when we're being assigned our teams and such. I guess we will decide pre-IC, the partnerships. I don't know about forced, though, haha.

-Need to think of a semblence, Can anyone help?-
Name:
Eminence Manchester
Age:
17
Gender:
Male
Race:
Canine(Saint Bernard) Faunus < Unknown, believed to be human by others.
Appearance:
Appearing as an averaged physique'd, 6 foot tall, incredibly thick purple long haired male, with healthy Caucasian skin and a pretty face, Eminence wears a colourful purple and gold trimmed buttoned tailcoated jacket, with a white and purple trimmed shirt beneath, with a necklace tied loosely around his neck. He wears a set of formal purple leggings, the same colour as his jacket, with a pair of beautiful white formal shoes, purple soled.
Eminences faunus parts, i.e, his floppy Saint Bernard canine ears and poofy tail are hidden away, with Eminence's ears hidden underneath his thick set of hair, and his tail conveniently hidden in his leggings, with the tail-coat of his jacket further hiding the tail away.
Weapon Name:
Claudia
Weapon Appearance/Function:
Appearing as a large two handed Zweihander made of incredibly durable sharp metals with a golden jeweled metallic hilt, with golden markings running along each side of the blade, these markings are actually comprised of dust forged into the blade, which turns the Zweihander into an incredibly vicious high frequency blade, vibrating to add to its cutting potential, running on dust, when he activates the dust, it allows his blade to slice through nearly any type of material for a short time.
The weapon can then break apart at the tip of the sword, sliding back and breaking apart to slide against thearm of Eminence, quickly twisting and merging itself over his left arm, to forge an arm cannon from his fist to his elbow, allowing him to fire concentrates explosions of dust from within, allowing him to cause great damage over a large area, though the weapon is show and requires precise aiming to execute effectively, and is easily dodge-able by incredibly fast opponents.
Holstered/Sheathed Appearance:
In its sheathed appearance, Eminence simply sheath his zweihander form into a glistening white metallic sheath on his back.
Form(s):
Form 1: Zweihander
Form 2: Arm cannon
Semblance: -NEED TO EDIT-
Strengths:
High power: Combined with his heavy swinging Zweihander and arm cannon, he can definitely dish out heavy damage.
Intelligent: Able to come up with strategies and tactics on the fly, Eminence can help to combine his moves with others to win a fight.
Charismatic: Polite, gentle and loyal, Eminence is able to get on peoples good sides rather easily due to his elegant kind nature.
Weaknesses:
Slow: While his arm cannon and Zweihander are indeed powerful, his swings are slower than other fighters, forcing him to make use of a counter based fighting style, waiting on his opponents to make the first move, if he wishes a better chance of getting his hit in.
Fatigue: Not incredible use to fighting yet, though he's had training, Eminence still has trouble maintaining his stamina in a fight, thus causing him to become breathless more quickly than other fighters, no help to his asthma.
Personality:
Gentle, kind and compassionate, who loves everyone, even those considered "lesser" by society, Eminence isn't what you'd expect from a rich boy, he isn't a selfish arrogant brat, but instead a loving if somewhat naive male who simply wishes to make everyone happy. Eminence is a gentleman in his mannerisms, showing a love for serving others to make them happy, which happens to be strange given the fact you'd think the rich would be the ones to BE served, this just goes to show his very selfless nature.
An individual who hates narcissists and those who think they're better than everyone else, Eminence knows what its like to be ridiculed and despised for being something you can't control, though because he happens to be a faunus, it forces him to become very pensive, always pondering on what peoples opinions would be of him if they discovered who he actually was, and as such is constantly questioning about hiding who he is away from others, or keeping his status in his rich house hold.
History:
Son to the current heir of the Manchesters, a rival family contesting against the Schnnee Dust Company for dust. Situated in Mistral, and being one of the richest families on the continent, Eminence was born into a very powerful line, and as such would be forced to follow in his families footsteps, forcing him to train in their style of combat, forced to do what they say, forced to look respectful and beautiful at all times, Eminence never could do many things on his own, without someone dictating his every choice.
Though nobody in his family, only his mother, and a few hand picked servants know of his Faunus heritage, his mother having died shortly after his birth, was a Faunus, who gave birth to the boy away from the prying eyes of his father, for fear of being exiled or executed for being different, his mother hid her faunus features just like Eminence does, and by hiding her Faunus features, hid away the fact that she was of a different race, a race which Eminence's racist father despised, and as such, she got pregnant with his child, with his father never knowing that the child was a faunus, thanks to the work of Miss Holly, a maid whom loyally served Miss Claudia, Eminences mother from her childhood.
Acquiring a very costly education, and schooled by one of the most prestigious hunting schools in Mistral, Eminences grades were always top notch, both because he wanted to do good and the fear of failing such a large corporation, which he thought of as a noose tied around his neck, fearful of what the company would do to him if they found him failing or finding out about who he actually was, for years eminence did his hardest to train, though when he trained, and traveled around mistral, he always envied those who weren't of a higher class, the freedom, the joy the casual love they all show for one another made him weep, desiring such a thing himself, eager to meet an actual friend for once, which was one of the main reasons he decided to become a hunter, along with wanting to keep the world safe from Grimm.
Now joining Haven, pretending he is simply a human, Eminence heads into his new academy, eager to learn and eager to hopefully meet someone who could trust him, meet others who share his ideals and meet people he hasn't met before. It was going to be a long... interesting year.
Emblem:
Designed as a purple kite shield with a white inside, with a purple zweihander in the middle standing upright, as purple flames dance off the edges of the shield around it.

Actually, a thought has occurred to me. We seem to have several characters who are Faunus, and RWBY has implied that Faunus possess certain animalistic traits that humans do not (the only one that springs to mind was Dr. Oobleck saying that many Faunus have better night vision, but I would imagine that there are other advantages). We've also seen that Faunus seem to bear certain stereotypical traits according what animal they are based on (Blake adoring fish stands out).
This makes me wonder if the animal traits Faunus have vary according to their sub-species, and if so, should we establish what each of our advantages are?

Speaking of lots of Faunus, might have accidentally made a little bit of a rascist? Woooooppsss...
Name:
Aequitas "Aeta" Onyx
Age:
17
Gender:
Female
Race:
Human
Appearance:
With a measly height of five foot, two inches, paired with her innocent white hair, Aeta doesn't look exactly like she could split you from end to end. Don't be fooled, however, because that is precisely what she can do if given the opportunity to. It's almost an edge she has - her general lack of giving a shit and youngish looks make others believe that she isn't particularly capable of much. Also packs a pretty mean roundhouse-kick.
Strengths:
Aeta has a nice mix between long and mid-range combat meaning that she's an absolute nightmare for enemies that can't move very well. She has a very high damage output and paired with her semblance, she is capable of moving around a battlefield with ease for a short period of time. Aeta may be tactical but she's bordering on fanatical in her approach to a fight. She will never give up unless her enemy is on the ground or she is but even then she'll get up, just to be knocked back down again.
Weaknesses:
Night's Paramour isn't necessarily bad at close-range, it's just that Aeta is. She would do alright for a quick burst of combat but give her a sustained fight and it's over for her. She may be a nightmare to slow moving targets but she's just another fish in a very big ocean and basically anyone that can move as fast as her, she struggles against. Rapid burst is nigh on impossible with these people and they can typically get to her when she's stuck in one long-ranged position. Aeta is what you could describe as a stubborn idiot. It's probably her Atlas blood but although she's tactically smart, her approach to combat is downright awful and leads to a lot of injuries on her part.
Personality:
Aeta isn't a bad person, she just has a very staunch belief that the old ideas of justice are dead. She believes that her enemies no longer fear justice and that's why they do what they do - they act without fear of reprisal. People are afraid of doing what they have to do so they pretend it's not there. Aeta is a realist and she very much realises that the White Fang must be treated like Grimm - unduly exterminated. But she's smart; she knows that society are too thoughtful to start wandering around, killing those they suspect to be part of the White Fang and to suggest such a thing would upset their liberalism. So she waits.
On the surface, Aeta can appear nonchalantly bitter about certain topics, especially Faunus and the White Fang. She has reasons, of course, she just never really chooses to explain them or indeed uncover them for any reason whatsoever. The White Fang left her with nothing more than her wits and her weapon. They took the rest of her so she vowed that she would do the same - she would find their heart, the place they felt safe, and she would rip it to shreds. Sometimes, however, this violence can be extended towards the Faunus race in general.
Aeta's a little misguided in her approach towards the White Fang but she's not an evil person, so to speak. She's incredibly loyal and if she deems you to be truly innocent and worthy of her, she'll lay down her life for you. She can be kind when she wants to be and when she is, she's a warm thing but those times are few and far between. She typically appears to be happy and seems to be quite intelligent but with Aeta, you never quite know if you're looking at the real her or a self-casted image. She does have a sense of honour and duty but over the years of turning against her military upbringing, it's become twisted and gnarled.
Despite all of this, she's very aware that an evil has taken root inside of her and it's distorting who she is as a person. Maybe that's why she joined Haven? To sate that evil inside of her and escape what it truly wants her to be.
History:
Life had never been difficult for Aeta - she was born into the affluent Onyx family that had a serious amount of power in Atlas. Known primarily for their high-up positions in the Schnee Dust Corporation, they were also known to be trained soldiers and had small responsibilities in the military. They were honourable to an extent but they were part of Schnee Dust's inner circle, meaning they lacked a certain regard for morality on occasions. They made a bucketload of money, however, so they could afford to train her up and send her to the best military prep-schools.
Aeta flourished both on the battlefield and off it. She was a decent commander but her real speciality lay in the fact that she was miles ahead of her counterparts in school - her ability to fight outmatched theirs easily. She would have been processed through the Military Academy with flying colours and family friends even predicted she would have a place as a Specialist in the military but things went ass-up, as they usually do.
Her parents just didn't come home from work one day. Then the next. And then the day after that until eventually, a military official arrived to tell her they had been killed. Details were grainy but the bits she got pitted the blame, without doubt, on the White Fang separatist group. She grieved for a time - she was a young girl alone in the world but that fact was the poison that corrupted her entirely. With no one to turn to, her grief turned to anger and anger turned to rage until finally, she longed for nothing more than the death of those who had caused her such pain.
The Schnee Dust Company were good to her - they paid for her tuition and looked after her but Aeta had become sick and tired of the military life. How could they define what was right and just? In what little fucked-up world did they live in where the promise of "justice" for her parents' murder made it all ok? Justice was a void term - her enemies didn't fear justice, otherwise, they wouldn't have done such a thing. So she turned away from her chance to join the Military Academy and instead, applied to join Haven Academy in Mistral. It wasn't easy but she got in. She never really knew why she chose Haven, why she chose to be a Huntress but she suspects it has something to do with the growing darkness inside of her.

Night's Paramour
Weapon Derivation: Glaive, Sawblade-Glaive, Tri-Bow
Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Contracts into a disc held on her belt
Form 1 - Glaive: Expanding from the disc form into a three-edged circular blade, this form is primarily used for melee to mid-ranged combat. The glaive isn't massively useful at close range but if there's some distance between it and the target, it can be devastating.
Form 2 - Sawblade-Glaive: The three edges retract slightly so the weapon is smaller and then begin to rotate rapidly around the core. This form should primarily be used in melee; it's also capable of being thrown but the bounce-back is unreliable so she pairs this with her semblance. This form is used to inflict massive damage but lacks the range and reliability of the other forms.
Form 3 - Tri-Bow: The three edges rotate by 90 degrees until they are extruding from the core before locking into place. Tight wire binds the tips of the three edges together, effectively forming a bow.

Seeker's Calling: Aeta's semblance allows her to quite literally blink from one place to another in no time at all. It's not an instant teleportation so it can still be stopped but it's incredibly fast and you would either have to slow down time or have the reflexes of a God to catch her. Seeker's Calling has two primary uses - ranged repositioning so she can get a vantage point to take advantage of her range and rapid bursting. Rapid bursting essentially involves her focusing on one locked-down or slow-moving enemy and making their life misery by throwing her glaive, blinking to its rebound position and throwing it again at quite an intensive speed.
The dangers of Seeker's Calling is that it uses just as much stamina as if you were sprinting to these locations meaning that if she uses it to relocate, she will become a sitting duck until she has recovered enough to relocate. Rapid bursting is extremely dangerous as if her enemies aren't finished off by the time she has finished this rapid burst (around 5 seconds of massive, sustained damage) then she's dead; full stop. Blinking to a number of locations in such a small period of time simply flat-lines her agility and her damage meaning she is very close to the enemy with nothing to defend herself or escape.

I'm impressed with your assessment on Lelia. Indeed, I wanted her as a rushdown character. While studying to become a Huntress, the only thing she will be looking forward to is a career in serving a future family head as bodyguard. Ideally, she would be exterminating threats in the quickest way possible.

Yes! Id love to take that spot! Though im wondering, is the pictue eally that low of quality? I couldnt exactly find an image which fitted the type of style i needed....! That and the app did say an image was optional... So sould i just remove the image?
Edit: nallore's picture is of a lower quality than mine, in terms of pixels that is, unless we're seinf different images? The one is posted is fairly large XD
As for semblance, i gave it somethought, tryin to think of somthing...
Was thinking a stronger healing ability, but that'd be overpowered i think
I was then thinking a semblance that allows Eminence to force his opponents to see illusions, which hurt and damage an opponent because they think they're being attacked by say a grimm or a hunter, though this semblance cannot be used to kill, and instead stun, knock out or distract foes.

So @Lord Santa gave us a good idea on how our characters will work in combat together, if they are willing to work together, I'm interested in how our characters will be like forced to work with certain characters?
Do you want me to answer this? I'll try my best.
I think you're talking about team personalities, and honestly, that's a dicier subject considering personalities are significantly harder to write. I myself know that it's pretty difficult to write down how they are, and even when I have a solid plan in mind, I find that, for me at least, it's one of the hardest parts to write about. But hey, that won't stop me from thinking about this.
Given the difficulties, I'll need a little bit, but I'll do it anyway. Sorry in advance if I misinterpret people's characters, but you can just yell at me later :P

I would say that we don't make up teams according to how personalities would mesh. These are all people who presumably have not met each other until now, and I think part of the reason for having Huntsmen and Huntresses train in teams is that you sometimes have to work with people you don't necessarily get along with.
Plus, team dynamics change over time as the individuals get to know each other better and become accustomed to each other.

@The_written_John when thinking of a semblence, remember that as a huntsman, we'll be fighting grimm. Not each other. So would illusions actually work on grimm? Don't gear abilities towards how well you would do fighting others. Just a thought. As for the image quality, I mean in terms of how it looks. For example:

Yeah, but we're basically theory crunching at this stage, and it's mainly for fun. I, for one, am basically doing this to kill time before this starts. And also, you pretty much pinned down one of the reasons I'm hesitant to match up personalities and stuff. As mentioned before, it's a little touchy when it comes to personalities and they aren't static things. So yeah.
Pretty much, as long as it's in the spirit of fun, I'd be happy to do it, as long as it doesn't come off as somewhat forceful or something, like I'm enforcing my will on your characters. That's sort of what I want to avoid.
And also, this is partially to make naming easier since there are so many combinations, but ey, I'll give it some work.

@Lord Santa In that case, I would love for Cyra to be partnered with a human. Her greatest fear is being a exposed as a Faunus and then rejected for it, because she has faced that all her life, and being a scorpion Faunus makes her physical appearance more unusual than most. I could see Aeta creating some delightful opportunities in that regard.

I'll give you some input on your semblance before I go to sleep.
Your character's essentially a heavy damage dealer but is quite slow in doing so. He can't dish out much, but if he hits you with it, it hurts. That means that if you want a more offensive type semblance, heavy AoE oneshot attacks suit your character better, I'd say. Something like a big laser beam, or a power blast of sorts. Something big and flashy, that does a bunch of damage.
On the other hand, your personality indicates that he dislikes being pushed around, and he likes protecting/serving people. In that case, it might be good for your semblance to instead buff your defensive prowess without lowering his mobility so that he can protect himself and his allies better. It ties in with his personality as one who likes to help people, you see.
As an alternative route, you could have both as part of a duality sort of thing. You could maybe have the shield first, which takes energy from attacks when it gets hit that you can store up and release into a really strong laser blast. I sorta feel like this is the best option considering that you seem to want to have a little of everything. I also noticed that team DEVL don't have many defensive options, so yeah.
Those are my suggestions, anyway. Feel free to use them as you wish.
Oh, and I'll see to crunching personality compatibility theories in the morning. I gotta go to sleep sooner or later.

@NarcissisticPotato I have now become fixated on a scene where Aeta meets Cyra and immediately thinks "Finally! Someone who's shorter than me!"
And she will lord it over everyone else that she is, in fact, not the smallest huntress in Haven! :3
@NarcissisticPotato *Grabs collar nervously* it's going to be sooooooo awkward for Solomon to be around Aeta. I'll laugh if they end up on the same team~
That would be very interesting indeed! She's a smart cookie so I'm sure she'd figure out something was up if he started getting awkward about her White Fang rants! C; Also, is Solomon still spying for the White Fang?
