"The Faunus Rights revolution is still a noted event in recent history, despite it happening almost twenty years ago. Human-Faunus relations are still rough, but the populace is still trying to make things better for everyone. There seems to be hope, and a faction that grew from the ashes of the revolution silently edges progress forward.

Once again the Vytal festival is upon us, and once more the kingdoms of Remnant join together in Vale. Only the best will succeed, but what if succeeding was the only means for survival? Whispers around Beacon suggest that something underneath the tournament is happening, but nothing and be confirmed. The only things that can be done are compete, win, and prepare for the worst."





This RP will be taking place ten years before the events of RWBY, and will mainly be using information that had been revealed in all episodes and shorts before episode nine of season three, which has yet to air at the start of this roleplay. If any major revelations appear within the series in episode nine or any following, they will be handled and dealt with to maintain maximum coherency. This may mean altering a few things in the roleplay, or, if serious enough, will be disregarded from the roleplay if it contradicts us too much for a minor change to fix.

Now, like with every roleplay, there are basic ground rules, and a couple others that I want to address.




RULES

-No Godmodding
-No using OOC information In character (if we talk about how one character doesn't like X, and a character JUST SO HAPPENS to have that in their possession the next time s/he moves)
-If you get into an argument with another player, or have a problem with them, please, move it to PMs, or message me, or both!
-Unless in a conversation, you will only be able to post after two other people post after you do, three if you count the person that you are talking to.
-if you're reading this, answer this question at the bottom of the CS: What do you think your personal semblance/ability would be?
-Be realistic. Not just physically (s/he jumps into the air and does a million backflips as they send fire every which way before they land), but also mentally and emotionally. People don't just get up and act normal after a huge revelation or death.
-I know that RWBY is heavily influenced by anime style, but please keep things realistic in combat, at least realistic in the sense of Anime.
-At least one decent paragraph per post, please. \/
-Because fighting will happen, and I hope to have fun, quick paced fights, just one paragraph is all that I ask for, but please be mindful of other characters and their interactions.
-For really intense fights, I suggest using sites like TitanPad and PiratePad to make collaborative posts, which, as the GM and gamemaker, will try to oversee the best I can.
-have a good time!

With the Rules out of the way, I think that we should move onto the CS! You have HushedWhispers to thank for the wonderful CS, which I have tweaked a little to suit the roleplay.

ACCEPTED CHARACTERS





So, for this RP, this is how the bracket system is going to work.

The tourney will start with every character competing in a 2v2 battle. The winners of each battle will select one person to move up into the bracket, where the next fight is a fatal four way. The winners of that round move on to the final bracket, in which it will be one on one battles.

*raises hand*

Question, can you be a little more specific on what's "realistic" in a situation that is without most of the confines of reality?

I mean, aura alone affects most physics and we live in a world we're the threat of monster attacks are rather common, even if we just did mentally, wouldn't a Vale human's viewpoint be totally different from a normal world human's viewpoint?

How liberal can we be with the sheet? I am not a fan of plain lists if I'm to be honest. Would something like this work for you? I'm reasonably certain most of what you require is there, I just think it's nicer this way =P Here is a blank if anyone wants it.

Also doing a different 'class' different because hunters are too mainstream.

@Forsytheyou can use whatever sheet that you want, the one that I provided is merely an example/template, so you don't have any obligations to use that one if you don't want to.

@Koukiwell, just don't go too crazy with the physics. As far as I am concerned, being a hunter/huntress required a certain amount of skill and prowess, so just don't get too crazy with it and we should be fine. It being an anime universe, I'm not really too concerned with the realism of reality as I am with the reason of emotions.

D E L V I N G D E E P E R

|Personality|
Victoria isn't exactly a nice person; this much, you may or may not see from the get-go. Victoria often views being in her Team as an honour, and naturally, any other team is automatically inferior, the girl has absolutely no problem cutting anyone down with words as sharp as her weapon. Ruthless, is a way to describe her. Despite all of this, however, she reserves a hidden kindness within her venom-laced heart. For those that she brings herself to trust, she trusts them almost without hesitation, with almost a desperate sense of comradeship. As trusting relations and true friendship wasn't something she experienced much of in her rich lifestyle, true friends are hard to come by, and thus, secretly cherished. With all of her flaws and strengths, do not think that Victoria would leave a comrade to die. She would fight through thick and thin to help, even if she stops occasionally to fix her hair. Surprisingly, she enjoys clever puns. This is part of the reason why she named her weapon 'Azured Victory', though if you ask her the reason she named it that, she will desperately deny it and make up a random reason.

|Weapon Name|
Azured Victory

|Weapon Appearance/Function|
Azured Victory appears to be a regular blue and grey rapier sword fit for Victoria's traditional fencing fighting style, but Azured Victory is anything but traditional when Victoria activates the engine within the pommel of the sword. The engine is activated by the trigger hidden underneath the removable guard. Upon activation, the blade of the rapier expands and becomes a high powered drill capable of boring through thick metal.

Azured Victory has one final form in which the drill bit expands exponentially to an incredible length and width, increasing Azured Victory's power to unimaginable levels. Though the form has one potentially fatal drawback; Victoria's beloved weapon has a very high chance of breaking completely, possibly leaving her defenceless. Due to this, Victoria hardly ever uses it.

|Semblance|
By channelling her Aura into either of both of her arms, Victoria can make her fists inhumanly powerful, causing her punches to be like sledgehammers. This ability manifests in the form of blue flame-like energy that constantly travel up and down her arms. Although her semblance allows some degree of enhanced durability, punching something dense while it is active would still damage her, albeit with bruises and scars, rather than completely shattered bones. Her semblance also emits light and heat.

|Place of Origin|
Mistral

|History|
Victoria was born into a somewhat well-off family in Mistral. Though she grew up without any relative difficulties, she never had many friends during her childhood due to the sumptuousness and solitude of her family's manor. She attended private lessons, orchestrated by her father's extensive bank account. The private lessons were, surprise surprise, taught to her within her own home, and thusly, Victoria never really got to see much of the outside world. Sure, she went out occasionally for celebratory dinners and to 'shop until she dropped' with some of the more empty-brained of the maids and workers that her father hired, but over-all, she had a surprisingly lonely childhood. Her father was an Executive Administrator for the Mistral Trade Route, and spent most of his time bossing people around on boats and ships along the coast. However, Victoria's father was a warm and incredibly kind man, and despite him not being there all the time, he was there for her, regardless, and she loved him dearly for that. It was a running joke between the two, for him to always bring home a terribly clever, and cheesy pun whenever he managed to get home from his job, which is where Victoria's love for puns originated from. As far as her education went, Victoria was a fighter, moreso than she was a scholar. Due to recommendations, she could have went to Atlas, the militaristic Huntsmen Academy in the kingdom of the same name, but she declined it in favour of the Signal Combat Academy closer by - she was definitely not interested in some sweaty, military dump. Within the Academy, Victoria established herself, easily, as the top popular girl within the school, who had brains behind her beauty, though, despite all this, she struggled to come up with an adequate name for her own weapon. The name was actually given to her by her father, who came up with the pun based on Victoria's name, and the fact that Azured was the only thing he could come up with at the time - hence Azured Victory, her custom-made rapier drill. She loved it, and it became her favourite, and signature, weapon. However, all good things came come to an end eventually. Whilst loading supplies off the coast of Vale, her father's ship was sunk by aquatic Grimm - a surprise attack that no one expected to happen. He perished, along with his crew.

Victoria was forever shattered, though this only strengthened her resolve to become a Huntress, with an unfortunate side effect of a more hostile, personality change. Three years have passed since then, and Victoria was invited to Beacon Academy, to destroy the plagues on humanity, the Grimm.

|Extra|
Victoria owns a pet Sun Parakeet named Mango at home.
If I had a semblance, it'd probably be some sort of Guardian Manifestation or general Cryokinesis.

I don't know if I did this right!


If I had a semblance, it would be Creation: the ability to physically manifest my aura as a solid construct. If I had dust, I could combine it with my semblance to form crazy things like fire lions!! FIRE LIONS EVERY WHERE!!!

@KoukiWell, the question is supposed to be separate from the semblance of your character, unless the character is based off of yourself, so like my character would have X power, but me personally, I'd like to have Y power.

Don't worry though, I'm not mad, and the problem is quickly fixed.
