Another RWBY Roleplay Anyone? (OOC IS OPEN! Still Accepting!)

[agentmanatee]

Nvm just read it... I'll change mine gimme a little bit

[JustAriel]

I haven't read through all of the Character Sheets, so I'm just gonna ask. Are there any characters that have already specialized in Summoning? I don't really want to be a duplicate of someone else.

[boomlover]

@JustAriel no none of those exists yet.

I see I missed some things but I'm all caught up now. First post is updated, mostly for me cause i like to be organized.

Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest! Even if you can't join now, don't worry. There will certainly still be space in the future.

I urge all newcomers to reserve a letter please (hopefully in the same team) so not to have any confusion. I am expecting a few more interested people soon.

That said, the OOC should be up this time tomorrow, if not tonight while I'm at work. Graveyard night shift tends to leave me with some free time.

Thanks again to everyone who joined! We're going to kick things off with a 'YANG!'

I hate to ask, cause I feel like i'll come up with one EVENTUALLY, but anyone have an idea for a new semblance for Heather?

Btw. I'm very sorry @Vilhelm But I was so excited to start I didn't read your character... not trying to plagarize or anything, i just didn't read it

[Vilhelm]

*Wristflap* I wasn't complaining! 0_0 I was just chuckling about the coincidence! You can keep your semblance- It might actually provide some neat interaction between our characters, which would be cool! Two hot heads battling over who can get hotter, even.

@agentmanatee

If you do decide to change your semblance, I think its important to keep a few things in mind:

• 1. A semblance is a reflection of one's personality or a specific trait of one's personality. Save for Weiss who had one that was passed down to her, a semblance should have something to do with your person as a whole. If your character is someone who is a more shy type, perhaps think of a defensive semblance.
• 2. A hunter/huntress has one main priority: to fight Grimm. Think of a semblance that will work on Grimm or aid you/your teammates in a battle. Don't make your semblance something like 'she's quite lucky', or something that has nothing to do with fighting or increasing your chances of survival on the battlefield.
• 3. There is always an option to develop a semblance over time. If you can't think of one now, have your character figure it out in the IC. That could be really cool! So don't sweat it. :)

@OneWayOut

oh yeah and big pictures beware lol my hiders aint working ;/

My Hider

Name:
Yami Crimson

Age:
17

Gender:
Male

Race:
Human

Appearance:
Yami stands at 6'0 tall while having a lean build to his body. Yami wears a black jacket over a red hoodie that covers up a thin layer of modern day chain mail like material to help stop any blow that may catch him in the body. Along with his black jacket and red hoodie, Yami wears black pants to match, with Red combat boots that match the same color as his hoodie. A necklace that has a upside down V emblem on a locket is located around Yami's neck at all times. The locket was passed down generations in his family, said to bring good luck to whoever has it on. Yami wears a large wrist gauntlet on his left wrist, that stores the many crossbow bolts in it for easy loading. Yami's weapon is held by a strap that wraps over his right shoulder and under his left armpit, the weapon is located on his back.

Weapon Name:
Scarlet Fever

Weapon Appearance/Function:

Type:
Ranged, Melee, Dust.

Weapon Derivation:
Crossbows of the early days, Ice Climbing Pick

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance:
Scarlet Fever while Sheathed is folded over and condensed to be compact. Yami carries his weapon his back.

Form 1:
The form Scarlet Fever first takes is the Crossbow form. This form allows Yami to shoot dust powered bolts from the crossbow at a safe distance. The bolts are located in the gauntlet that Yami wears on his left wrist, which Yami can place the bottom of the gauntlet on the loading bay and the Bolt drops out onto it, ready to be fired. Yami can fire a array of dust powered bolts from Fire, to Ice.

Form 2:
The second form Scarlet Fever takes is the modified form of a modern day Ice Pick. The large Ice Pick is a two handed weapon, that is durable and strong enough to hold Yami's weight if he needs to latch onto something, and strong enough to take on a Grimm head on.

Personality:
Yami is a very quiet individual, rarely speaking even to his teammates and friends. Choosing a life of peace and quiet has always seemed like the best choice for Yami, usually taking a more relaxed and chilled path through life than the party animal wild type. Yami will keep to himself on matters, only speaking up to give his opinion when asked for it. Because of his very quiet and laid back nature, Yami tends to sneak up on people by accident, his presence not able to be detected by humans and faunus alike. Always keeping to himself has gotten him the reputation that he doesn't care for anyone but himself, but that is far from the truth. Yami cares for those around him, but never has the courage or drive to truly show them that he cares.

History:
Yami grew up a only child to a single mother who was always away at work. Yami never really got out of the house much, never really talking to the kids in his class or the kids in his neighborhood. Yami always wanted to get out one day and show people how much fun he can really have but the day never came, he got older and older and the window of opportunity was getting smaller and smaller. Yami knew he had to do something spectacular in order to do something with his life. That's when Yami started researching about the job of being a Hunter. Yami never really wanted to be one per-say, but when he started training he couldn't stop. From the early morning hours when his mom left for work to the days of midnight, Yami trained hard in the comfort of his own home.

Yami grew older and older as his skills began to sharpen, Yami's mother had noticed the change in her son and knew instantly what had changed him so much. Yami's mother one day stayed home from work, pretending to leave the house only to walk outside to see Yami working hard at becoming a hunter, doing basic technique exercises. Yami's mother stopped him and led him to her bed room where she opened the closet to reveal a large, dusty trunk under a heap of clothes. Inside the trunk was Yami's future weapon "Scarlet Fever". The weapon had belonged to his father, who on mission died, only to leave behind his weapon for his son. Yami took the weapon and honed his skills even more with it.

Yami got accepted into Beacon the following year, learning more about fighting, Grimm and all around knowledge more than he ever has. A whole year has passed at beacon for him, and he hopes the first year goes just a smoothly as it did last year.

Emblem:


Other:

Color:
Crimson Red

Combat Style:
More of a Ranged fighter, keeping distance.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
+Skilled Marksman
+Very Quiet and Sneaky, (Able to sneak up on people)

-Teamwork
-Average Close Ranged Combat fighter

Semblance:
Chameleon: Able to change his body to become near invisible to those around him. His entire body blends in with the area around him, and can be very versatile for Scouting out, or help his teammates from afar without being seen. Although he blends in with the area, that doesn't mean he can't be seen if detected by someone. If someone concentrates hard enough, they can see the outline of his body or if he makes a noise it can easily give away his position.

@Dawkins I like the weapon o.o very cool. One thing though that I forgot to mention for those with 2nd year characters. Your character should be 18 since they have been at Beacon for a year now. A small detail, but yeah. He's accepted!

[agentmanatee]

hmmmm.. Now I'm debating changing... it would still be fire based ... hmmm...

[agentmanatee]

Changed it! Still sorta fire based AND more in tune with her personality

[Dawkins]

@agentmanatee very creative, I like it a lot!

[agentmanatee]

Thanks! I thought a focus on smoke and a dying fire was interesting for my character, still hot but more... contained, I really like your character! Your on PYCH right? Heh, two introverts on the same team

[KiltmanBagz]

So we have heat, smoke, and plants powers. Team PYCH will never want for fire I guess lol

[Snarfulblast]

I am making a char application right meow so I hope you like it when I post it.

[Pyromania99]

I've had a certain godfather trying to recruit people it seems. One might say I'm interested. . . Or just say I am interested if space allows.

[OneWayOut]

@Snarfulblast @Pyromania99 would you two like to reserve a letter?

[Pyromania99]

@OneWayOut

I got two characters I want to slightly alter, but their names start with either H and F. If one is open but not the other. . . well guess I know who I'm using at least. Otherwise I get to pick XD If neither. . . NAEM CHANGE

[OneWayOut]

@Pyromania99 there is no H or F available. Sorry x.x you can find available letters in the first post.

[Pyromania99]

I just noticed that -.- Mmmk, I can deal. Might need to think of a good name to replace for either of them. XD
