[OOC] Vales Ruination - A RWBY-based Rp

[CorruptedShadow]

~THIS ROLEPLAY IS CLOSED~
~Prologue~
Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past. Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness - creatures of destruction; the creatures of Grimm - set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void. However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named "Dust". Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life. But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die. And when they are gone, darkness will return. So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called "free world", but take heed...there will be no victory in strength.

This roleplay takes place in it's own alternate universe, but every prior event in canon RWBY Episodes(I.E. The White Fang, the Crusades, etc.) have already occured.

~Rules~
1. No godmode, instant killing other players, metagaming, etc.
2. Swearing is of course, allowed, but try to keep it at a minimum if possible.
3. None of the canon characters exist, so don't ask.
4. Romance is allowed, but try to keep it PG guys.
5. Password is "Red Like Roses."
6. Have fun!

My Character

Appearance:
Percy is usually mistaken for a short girl(although he is quite tall compared to females), due to his size and appearance. His attractiveness is also enhanced with the fact that, assuming he is, a Faunus. Because of this, some of his brethren will "accidentally" flirt with him. Whether this is an act of bullying or real confusion is unknown.
Name/Nicknames: Percy Argon - Usually called Perky , Shorty, or Ponyboy, much to his detest.
Race: Human/Faunus(?)
Color: Pink
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Weapon(s): Equipped with a long double-bladed staff, Percy has the option of changing it into two weapon types. Either he can disconnect the two pieces in half which then form dual-wielding blades or he can transform it into an extremely long-ranged(and heavy) sniper-rifle, equipped with what appears to be explosive rounds.
Semblance: Unknown - He has yet to develop any real semblance.
History: Although not much is known on his past, it is obvious he was born in Vale's, considering his knowledge of the area's around him. As of now, he is currently not a part of Beacon, but had been accepted prior to events now.
Personality: Percy is a very hard to read person, due to his mix of different emotions. One moment he is playful, to the extent of playing pranks on others, while the next he is very lazy and outright non-cooperative. What is clear, however, is his exceptional bravery and calm-attitude in combat. He also tends to have a sort of nerdy side, shown with his strong attention and studying in classes.
Extra Information: Often mistaken for a girl, due to his very 'girly' appearance.

Might I ask what the Password part is for in the CS? I have a character ready, but I feel like I can't post it because I have no idea what that is.

[Shadowcatcher]

[pyroman]

I see, well it seems that I did overlook something. Thanks for pointing that out.

[ViridianHue]

Name: Calliope Green

Race: Human

Color: Silver

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Weapon(s): Throwing Darts. She mostly engages in close range combat, but can infuse her darts with dust to fire flaming/freezing darts. She can also augment her hands with dust to have an elemental edge to her melee attacks.

Semblance: Sensory. Sensory increases all the five senses and gives her more ability in fighting. The senses do not increase by a lot, but enough to sense the enemies around her.

History: Calliope lived a fairly normal life. Youngest in the family, with three older brothers, Callie had learned from an early age that you had to make some noise to be seen and heard. Callie was known as a tomboy, always getting into fights with boys and hardly getting along with any girls. The family has always struggled to get by, and she has tried to help them however she could. Her mother passed away when she was quite young so she doesn't remember her well. Her father was in the military and was a role model for her. From a young age, she knew that she would one day follow her father's footsteps, despite her brothers telling her that a 'weak girl' like her could never do it. She strives to be the best huntress and prove to those who doubted her wrong.

Personality: Calliope loves chaos. Even if she isn't the one to cause it, she will somehow be involved in it. She is not particularly malicious, but will choose to cause trouble for others rather than helping them, for amusement. Behind her indifferent facade is an intelligent individual who likes spending alone time to understand the world around her better and to perfect her abilities. She doesn't trust anyone, but the lucky few that do gain her trust will have a loyal friend by their side for a long time.

Extra Information: She has a weakness for cute things.

Password: Red like roses.

2 guys 2 gals so far,

[pyroman]

Name: Booker Hendrix
Age: 16
Aura Color: Green
Gender: Male
Weight: 119 lbs (54 kg)
Height: 5 feet 6 inches (Roughly 170 cm)
Race: Cheetah Faunus
Appearance:
Personality: Calm, collected, and thoughtful, Booker always thinks of the other before himself. He isn't usually the first person to start a conversation, but he can hold one up nonetheless and without trouble or strain on himself. he has deep love and care for his weapons and prefers that they not be touched by others. He can often get lost in his thoughts and loves to read books in his spare time

History: Booker grew up as an only child for quite some time in his life. His love of books came from his mother while his fighting skills came from his father. He didn't socialize all that often, and when his parents noticed this they had attempted to put him in team sports to he wouldn't be constantly isolated. He worked great with the teams that he worked with and although he did many sports, Soccer/Football was his favorite. His father saw his love for the sport and he could see why, his kicks were incredibly powerful and strong, and always had well thought out plans. From a fair young age, Booker's father placed him in Signal academy in hopes of making his son a fine huntsman, and beacon was another step to getting to their shared goal.

Weapon: Inkwell & Brush: His two high preformance combat boots work well with his own fighting style, the boots have very small propulsion systems in the bottoms, allowing for greater jumps, to move quickly with a small burst, or to increase the power of his kicks tenfold. The boots can be used with Dust, but is completely optional. They are made from a light yet durable material to they will not weigh him down while moving.

Semblance: Perception: Booker's five senses and reflexes are improved almost to the point where he can react to things as soon as the happen, no longer having the need to relay information throughout the body. His entire body acts as a sensor so that he can react to things as quickly as possible.

Hmm... would anyone mind if I played a minor villain/Anti-hero?

[CorruptedShadow]

All accepted!!!

And yeah, that'll spice things up a bit!

The setting I had planned was that the country of Vales is going to be under attack...but I won't say who, why, or when, just be prepared!

[LaXnyd]

Appearance:



Name: Gerald Tarius

Race: Human

Color: Purple

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Weapon(s):

Anwarter: a handheld gun that looks abnormally large, it utilizes two types of ammunition: Red dust, which causes an explosion at the target, and Blue dust, which when fired forms a bayonet of ice and serves as his close range weapon. The bullets are stored in a revolver-style chamber that holds 6 rounds, and Gerald utilizes a Russian Roulette style of combat with his weapon, always mixing up the order of bullets he loads Anwarter in so that only he knows whether or not the next shot will fire an explosion or a close range weapon for him to use. Blue dust bayonets are dispelled with his next shot.

SchnellFeur: A smaller handheld gun which, unlike Anwarter is rapid firing. SchnellFeur only uses a single type of dust as ammunition and serves as Gerald's general weapon, used to suppress and/or eliminate lightly armoured enemies. Gerald is able to wield SchnellFeur with his lefthand.

Semblance: Innate time control - Gerald is able to alter his body to work at twice, three times or four times the speed of a normal human for a certain amount of time. No matter what configuration he goes in, his average rate is one minute of altered time per hour - meaning that every hour, Gerald is only able to alter his body and displace it up to a minute. For example:

2x speed for one minute means: Gerald's body time is 2 minutes while real time is one minute, meaning: Total "displacement": two minutes minus one minute = one minute.

3x speed for thirty seconds = Gerald's body time is ninety seconds while real time is thirty seconds , meaning total "displacement" is ninety seconds minus thirty seconds = one minute

And so on.

History(TBH is fine.): Gerald didn't have that smooth of a start to his life - he was born in the slums, raised by a working girl who only saved him out of the goodness of her heart. She tried to save up what meagre money she could to send Gerald away from the slums and enrol him into Signal, but she died when Gerald was 10. Her employers called it an "on the job incident" resulting from "angering her client", but Gerald refused to let it go. Investigating her death, Gerald finally fell to the low of involving himself in the criminal underground, associating with the likes of Roman Torchwick. At this point, Gerald considered the possibility of becoming a hunter nothing more than a childish dream, and he immersed himself in the day-to-day needs. Instead of a guardian of humanity and hope, Gerald became a guardian of criminal bosses and criminal packages - and the bane of the guardians of valuable items.

The criminal bosses soon granted him Anwarter and Schnellfeur, two weapons which he dislikes using. At the age of 16, after spending 6 years - over a third of his life- hunting down the man who killed his surrogate mother, Gerald found him and killed him - whether it was in self defence or cold blood, no one but him knows. Upon completing his self-set task, Gerald learned something interesting about that man: he was notorious for abusing and murdering working women like his mother, and as such a lot of people wanted him dead. Gerald just got to him first.

With the successful hunt of the murderer completed, Gerald's reputation in the slums rose and he became a "handyman" of sorts, willing to do a wide variety of jobs, legal or not, for money.

Personality: Gerald is a pragmatist who has one simple code: He will do anything to maintain his status quo of freedom and standard of living. Helping anyone or anything takes a back seat to that and he will only go out to help someone if it does not threaten him -or his friends- first. He has knowledge of living and making one's way on the streets due to his past, and he is quick to come to suspicion on any new information - naive people didn't last long where he came from.

Gerald is also seemingly paranoid, but in truth he is only acting with the necessary caution to survive in his line of work.

Extra Information: Due to his job as a criminal for hire and through his connections to the criminal underground, Gerald has the following tools at his disposal:

2 Scrolls loaded with the Fake ID "Li Yung" and "Alex Tiers", with his financial assets split between them.
4 smoke grenades filled with tear gas
4 smoke grenades filled with sleeping gas
2 flashbang grenades
2 Data sticks
Gas Mask
Safe-destroying liquid explosives
Several Lockpicks
Electronic Lock Scrambling device
