What's up? I'm just a user - you might even call me AGenericUser. Sometimes I do an obscure little thing called roleplay - maybe you've heard of such a thing before? At any rate, there's not really much to tell you about myself. I like JRPGs though, so there's that I guess.

Lehariel Leet





The Day Before






"Ugh, what am I gonna do today?! I was thinking I'd like, hang with some of the guild or something, but they're gone. Like... petals, in the wind!" Lehariel muttered to herself, leaning her head onto the table - a quill in one of her hands, and a scroll right next to her. "Oh, that sounded cool. I'm gonna have to say that to someone eventually. I can't just have it go ignored... that's wasteful! And my parents, well, they taught me to never be wasteful... maybe a little too well, in fact..."

Nonetheless, Lehariel shifted her attention to the scroll, which was covered in an assortment of scribbles, yet these assortment of scribbles were very important to Lehariel, for they were the basis of her latest plan to become ever stronger... and not only that, but it'd be putting all sorts of things Lehariel had purchased to good use if it worked well, or rather, if it worked at all. There was no guarantee that this... unorthodox plan would work. But if it did? Lehariel thought it'd be cool and stylish as hell... but also possibly dangerous as hell. But to that, Lehariel had one thing to say...

Of course, there was no guarantee this was possible, but it just sounded like a cool idea to Lehariel Leet. Someday she'd try to make it, for sure, but she felt that stuff like 'Axe Tonfas' were a lot more viable a choice - or especially the Wandaxe. An axe with a wand attached to the back - just flip it around and fire off some spells! It would be perfect for Lehariel's swashbuckling melee - magic switching style, but again, there was no guarantee that it worked.

Lehariel laid her head on the table for a while until she thought of something to do. Lehariel found that she still had a bit of Renn to spend - 272 Renn, to be exact. And, if Lehariel remembered correctly, that meant she'd be able to learn a few new disciplines, maybe even actions. In particular, Lehariel thought it'd be wise to increase her knowledge in the fields of Light discipline - from the sound of it, the next spell she'd learn, Flash and Awe, was rather potent. 'A strong burst of light that stuns all nearby targets', hey? That sounds like it kicks ass! But hold on a second, is it talking about just enemies, or everyone? Blinding my teammates is probably a bit of a bad move. Maybe it'd be funny for a prank, but not if lives are on the line... and hey, if I learn Flash and Awe, I'll get closer to spells like... like... Laser! Holy crap I'm excited to learn that! It'll be like that old internet thing. I'mma firin' my lazor, and all that!'

However, Lehariel took a look at the Pure Magic discipline spells, a set of spells she didn't have much interest. Sure, pure magic was cool, but was it as cool as burning things to the ground or freezing them solid? No! But... Lehariel spotted an interesting spell. Combine Disciplines, a spell that allowed the user to combine spells into one. That was a major part of Lehariel's plan as a spell user! In fact, the Pure Magic discipline seemed very useful for someone like Lehariel. It'd allow her to use even more spells... perhaps it'd be worth giving it the skilltree a look. It could definitely come in useful, and besides - she had money that was going unused. That 272 Renn had to go somewhere...!

So, Lehariel set off once again, to pay the magic teacher - or, as she called her, 'Teach' - to teach her new spells. And, fortunately, this time it was easier to locate her magic teacher without getting lost...








"Hey, thanks Aqua." Kobalt addressed with a thankful nod of his head. "Can't say I'm that huge a fan of this whole 'sleeping on the floor' business and all, though. Kind of sucks that we've got no other option, huh."

Kobalt began to head towards the designated area that Aqua had patted on the ground - but before this, he took a quick glance around the area. It was still just as crowded, with the occasional student shying away from any groups. Kobalt was thankful - if it weren't for this Aqua person, he'd probably be all by his lonesome, as well. While peaceful... being alone did tend to get a little boring. Though, before long, Kobalt found that the other two students with Aqua had begun to introduce themselves. As it turned out, the red-haired lady's name was Cinna - and the orange-haired Faunus man's name was Aeschel. And speaking of names, Kobalt seemed to have earned himself a nickname, one that had been used by both Aqua - and the red-haired lady, Cinna. That nickname was... 'Kobes'. Kobalt didn't quite know what to think about it - it sounded a little cutesy for his tastes, but... it'd do.

Something else Kobalt noticed - was that the fellow he now knew as Aeschel held his hand out for a handshake, at least if Kobalt was interpreting things correctly... though, how the Faunus man formed the handshake was a little unusual, clumsy even. Kobalt recalled that this was the same Faunus on the ship... everything came together. However, Aeschel's friend, Cinna corrected his handshake rather quickly. 'Alright, so... I think this is when I go for the handshake. Here's hopin' that I'm not mixing this stuff up. That'd be embarrassing as hell.'

Kobalt met the handshake - and recalled something that'd slipped his mind. "Oh, yeah, should probably introduce myself." Kobalt uttered. "Kobalt Zaffre's my name. Nice meeting you guys." He introduced himself with a calm demeanor, then dropped the handshake - and headed towards the area Aqua had patted. Before long, he began to sit down, and started placing his pack onto the ground gently. It was a relief to sit down, for Kobalt had been standing up for quite a while. There was nothing quite like taking a seat after prolonged standing... even if it was on the floor.

Kobalt overheard Cinna and Aeschel talking about something, but he didn't quite know what. Though, after a while, it seemed like another person had found their way to the group Kobalt was currently with. This time, it was another Faunus, though this one was a tall lady, clad in black and white... and again, it was another familiar student. This was the same person he'd seen Aeschel talking with on the airship! While he did come off as a bit clumsy, it seemed like he was a popular fellow.

The lady in black and white spoke to Aeschel once again - then seemed to address the rest of the group, asking their names. It looked like this'd be the second time in a few minutes that Kobalt would be introducing himself, though that was only natural on the first day. "My name's Kobalt Zaffre." Kobalt replied. It was simple, but... it didn't quite need to be a fancy introduction.

Sorry about the wait, I'll be able to get a post up in a few hours, hopefully. Been doing some homework for the past few days - tried writing a few different concept posts, but they weren't really coming to mind.

Sorry about that.

Lehariel Leet


It was just an ordinary, boring day for the silver-haired mage, Lehariel Leet. She wasn't wrapped up in epic battles and dungeon raiding like she was yesterday - instead, she was just lazing about in one of Genesis City's many inns. She'd purchased quite a bit to eat - mainly beef, and over that, many thoughts raced through her head. However, many of said thoughts were her thinking about how much she loved said beef. The rest regarded her plan - dubbed 'Skills to Pay the Bills'. She chuckled at the name quite often, thinking it was quite clever, for her plan made use of her skill - Astrology - and would help her pay the bills - by earning Renn. It was genius, really, in all aspects, even name. Lehariel was certain that her plan was, simply put, genius.

The young mage had considered pulling it off today, but she found herself a little too comfortable in the inn. She usually was quite energetic, but when she lazed about, she really lazed about. With a yawn, Lehariel scribbled some notes onto her scroll about what she needed, if she was to pull off her grand plan. Of course, she'd need a stand - not the one that floated behind you and attacked for you, but a stand that would work for a stall, as seen in a market. Along with that, she'd need a sign, to pull people over, so Lehariel could read their fortunes, divining them from even the most blackening of darkness. And then she'd need somewhere to hold all her money!

But a thought came to Lehariel's mind, surprisingly enough. 'Aww crap! If I'm remembering right, it's nearly night! Geez, I gotta pick up the pace if I want to buy anything!' Lehariel rushed to her feet, getting out of her chair rather quickly. 'Those Wolf guys'll probably need my help soon, so I'd better buy some stuff! I can't have them hosers stealing Lehariel Leet's thunder!'

Rushing out the door, Lehariel looked up at the sky... and her worries were confirmed. The umbral night was just about to arise, taking the place of the radiant day! She had to be fast if she wanted to buy some new stuff. "I'll buy... some kickass new axe! And maybe... a wand! Then... some other stuff!" She mouthed to herself, feet roaring across the stone ground - each step with an audible thud.

Eventually, she arrived at the promised land that awaited her. That land? It was none other than the market, a place key to conquering this 'Talrae' thing. Better equipment means better performance, but better equipment requires one thing, and one thing only. Cold hard cash. After all, what made the world go round? Money makes the world go round!

Lehariel passed by various people as she headed to the Blacksmiths. Some of them looked familiar - in fact, Lehariel thought they might just have been her new teammates from the Legion of the Wolf. But she had no time to wait, as the promise of a big, nasty new battleaxe spurred her forth. Upon reaching the Blacksmiths, Lehariel quickly rushed forth to make her offer. Pointing forth at the Blacksmith inside, she spoke. "I'll make an offer... in cash!" She spoke enthusiastically, still with her dramatic point. However, this segued into a question for the Blacksmith. "So what weapons ya got, Smithy? I'm looking at axes - wait, did that sound funny? I mean, I'm looking for slashy axes. Not-"

"At the moment, I've got Apprentice's Axes and Bane Axes. Take yer pick. If anythin' else catches yer eye, let me know, lassy." The Blacksmith interrupted. "I've got me some regular old Axes, but I'm gonna wager a guess that you're looking for something a little better than that."

And then, it hit Lehariel Leet like a stack of bricks. 'Bane Axe'. The very words seemed to speak to Lehariel Leet on so many levels! It was no mere axe, for it was named, and what a name it was. Bane was a threatening word, for sure... and an axe was a threatening weapon! That was two times the threatening! Lehariel needed to hear no more to make her judgement. "Give me that! I mean, I'll buy a Bane Axe! How much does it cost?! How much?!"

"250 Renn," The Blacksmith replied casually, serving quite the contrast to Lehariel's enthusiastic self. "Yer set on a Bane Axe, are ya? Can't blame ya. They've got some real bite to 'em."

"Yeah, for sure!" Lehariel chirped. "I mean, what sounds cooler? A eensy weensy Apprentice's Axe - like I'm an apprentice! - or a Bane Axe? There's a right option, and I'm picking it!" Lehariel then paid her 250 Renn to the Blacksmith rather swiftly. Only then did she lay eyes on the Bane Axe. "W-whoa! That looks... that looks a hell of a lot cooler than my Axe did! I'll chop that guy up on Floor 100, no sweat."

From there, Lehariel exited the Blacksmith building. For... Lehariel Leet's spending spree had only just begun. She headed to every store she could, in order to buy bits and pieces. Things like potions an adventurer may need on their journey... along with well, just about anything that caught her eye. It wasn't hard to Lehariel to buy something on impulse... something that always came back to bite her.

But, eventually... she found herself done with her adventure in the markets, having spent quite a bit. And by fair a bit, Lehariel had managed to drop to a measly peasly 272 Renn - from 1257! 'Dammit... those guys at the store sure convinced me to buy like, everything! But how could I resist a Ring of Teleporting?! I'll go right behind the enemy and go 'nothin' personal, kid!' And that chain I brought - oh, I've got good plans for that.' Lehariel gazed down at her newly purchased Bane Axe. 'I've got a real nasty plan for that chain, actually. A really nasty and really cool plan.'

But a few other things Lehariel brought didn't have as clear cut of a use... for instance, the Flint Stones she'd purchased. 'He tried to trick me! It's not like I fell for it or anything, though! I just wanted these Flint Stones for... for... lighting fires! Maybe we'll need to burn down a forest or something. Lehariel pondered. 'That bastard salesman... wait. Maybe I can learn from him! He made me - tried to make me buy on impulse. So, if I can do that for my Astrology store, then... I'll be rolling in dough! Big money, big fun!

And with that, Lehariel Leet's marketplace adventure was done and dusted. "What a day!" Lehariel spoke aloud. "But if I was powerful before, then I'm like, ultra powerful. This Bane Axe holds hidden power, I hear! And this Teleport Ring..."







After ten minutes which felt more like an eternity - the airship had finally landed at Beacon Academy, though not without quite the bumpy landing that forced Kobalt to grip onto a guardrail, as to not be knocked into the various other students via the impact. Shortly after a loudspeaker announcement, however... the time had finally come for the students to leave the ship. Kobalt's fellow students seemed quite excited to have landed, for they filed out of the airship rather quickly. Kobalt waited for the line to thin out before he left - there was no use rushing. Sure, he was dying to enter Beacon Academy - but an extra minute or two wouldn't hurt. Eventually, the time came for Kobalt to leave the ship, and from there, he followed after the other students, taking glimpses of Beacon Academy as he did so.

It didn't take Kobalt too long to find his way to a large room with an equally large number of students. All of the future huntsmen and huntresses of Beacon were gathered to listen to their new headmaster. Kobalt found himself at the back of the gathering, though he didn't mind this at all. In fact, he found it rather relaxing.

Kobalt laid eyes on the headmaster, recognizing them immediately. Kobalt knew who the man was from the stories his mother and father would tell him. The grey-haired, somewhat aged fellow clad in green attire and classy glasses that stood before the students was none other than Ozpin, Headmaster of Beacon. His parents had only positive things to speak of Ozpin. The man was a fair, yet strict teacher who wanted only the best for the hunters and huntresses in his care. Yet... the man was rumoured to be an incredible hunter, too. There were few people Kobalt respected more than Ozpin, and he'd only seen him today. Ozpin began his speech, as well - speaking of how the students will grow... both in body and mind, something that resonated well with Kobalt. His parents had always believed in growing in body and mind, and now Kobalt knew where they'd gotten it from. Ozpin. 'Can't believe I met him... the guy felt like the stuff of legends, like some kinda superhero all those years back. He's the real deal, though. Damn... I'm lucky to be one of his students.' Kobalt thought, glancing over at the grey-haired man once more, before heading off to his next destination.

Later on, at the Great Hall...

Dinner had passed, always a highlight of Kobalt's day - but the passing of dinner heralded another event... that being sleep. The students had to head to the Great Hall for their sleep, something Kobalt wasn't as keen on. Sleeping in such a large, noisy room wasn't that appealing, unsurprisingly. Kobalt wouldn't have even minded heading outside and sleeping anywhere else. Chances were that would allow for both a peaceful sleep - and perhaps even meditation, for a clear mind was quite the boon.

Kobalt was dressed in an old favourite blue jacket of his - it had served him well in the cold regions of Atlus, for it had been designed with warmth in mind - so hunters could brave the fierce colds. This jacket was adorned with two badges, different from his regular shirt. One was red and circular, and read 'Bolt' - the other was simply a blue square. Of course, Kobalt was still clad in his trademark hat. He had quite the history with his hat - and over the years, he'd grown fond of it.

Off in the distance within the colossal hall, Kobalt caught sight of various familiar students off in the distance - Aqua, and the orange-haired Faunus he'd deemed as clumsy earlier on in the day. He also noticed a red-haired lady he'd seen once or twice in the airship, as well. '... May as well try out some of this mingling thing then.' Kobalt briefly pondered, his eyes on the group. 'Sleeping in some giant, crowded-ass hall isn't something I really want to do, but hey, doesn't look like I've got much of an option. Probably not a bad idea to get to know some people, either.'

Tilting his hat slightly downwards, Kobalt began the trek to his destination. The Great Hall was positively bustling with people - the airship was crowded, but the Great Hall really put into perspective how many students there were heading into Beacon. Eventually, Kobalt arrived, and quickly looked over at the three people he'd headed over to - Aqua, along with the orange-haired faunus and the red-haired lady. With a clear voice, he spoke. "You guys alright if I set up here? Seems like an alright spot for a bit of a nap."

Yeah, it's pretty neat seeing how much posts this is getting. Always a bit of a downer when you join an RP and it dies pretty quick.

And on the note of posts, I've got one basically done, so I should probably post that.
The lady, Aquarius, had answered Kobalt's question on her reason for coming to Beacon. She spoke of how she couldn't see herself doing anything else, and that heading to Beacon would allow her to fight Grimm - and henceforth, save people. It seemed like quite the goal to Kobalt - in fact, it seemed rather noble to him. Someone like this Aqua struck Kobalt as someone who would make for a good hunter. Though, Kobalt couldn't help but think about his own goal. It wasn't something quite so noble - in comparison, Kobalt's goal merely seemed like a search for strength, to become the next Zaffre heir. But he quickly moved on from these thoughts - everyone had their own goals, and that was his. "So you wanna help people, huh?" Kobalt uttered to the blue-haired Aqua. "That's probably a good thing in a huntress... so that's good to hear."

Notably, Aqua had also spoke of the opportunity to hang out with good-looking people. Kobalt didn't particularly want to admit it out loud, but that too was an upside of heading to Beacon Academy. Though, before he could dwell on this for too long, he felt something impact him in the ribs - Aquarius. "Geez... don't go killing me now," Kobalt thought he'd try to make a joke on this matter, and slowly clutched the point of impact in his ribs. "Don't wanna rock up into Beacon on a stretcher. Wouldn't be my best first impression. Probably not my worst, either."

Kobalt's eyes wandered across to the other students again, and this time - he spotted two people that caught his eye. One of whom seemed to be quite the tall Faunus woman, with what seemed to be multi-coloured hair. The other person... was also a tall Faunus, though he was a man and had orange hair. Kobalt had seen the tall Faunus's tail brush against the lady Faunus's face - and as it'd turn out, the lady wasn't exactly too happy about that. Kobalt couldn't help but think the orange-haired Faunus man was more than a little clumsy and uncoordinated - not the best traits for a hunter, especially if his tail was ending up in someone's face. He then thought to himself. 'Spose I'm not one to talk, though... hell, I'm not a Faunus. Maybe that's a real easy thing to do by accident. Dunno...'

Well, if Kobalt had thought of mingling with anybody - he'd certainly gotten it, to say the least. The aqua-haired lady that Kobalt had dubbed 'Aqua' had introduced herself... she'd introduced herself as 'Aquarius Haifisch'. Kobalt was a little surprised that his nickname turned out to be so accurate. However, shortly after this, the blue-haired lady did something that Kobalt didn't see coming. The lady wrapped her hand around Kobalt's shoulder.

To put this one way, it wasn't something Kobalt expected. He'd had people do such a gesture to him in the past, but it was never a complete stranger. It struck Kobalt as rather unusual, and he found himself not knowing how to react to it. So, instead - he simply chose to not acknowledge it, at least to the best of his abilities. "My name's Kobalt Zaffre," He introduced himself with a clear, calm tone. "That's a K at the start of my name. Not sure if my parents couldn't spell Cobalt or something, but, hey." Kobalt explained, placing a hand onto his hat - for the lady, Aquarius, had called him something interesting - that being the name 'Captain'. Briefly, Kobalt knew not what she was talking about... and then it came to his mind. She must've said that because of his hat. "'Mr. Captain', eh... you're not the first one to call me that. Never really had that much interest in flying ships like these - knew someone who did, though."

Kobalt felt that asking the lady, Aquarius a few questions would be a good course of action. He'd never been the type to talk about himself a lot. "Aqua, right?" Kobalt addressed, glancing over at the blue-haired woman. "Judging from the fact you're on this ship, chances are you're heading to Beacon. 'Course, you've gotta have reasons for going. Maybe it's a weird question, but what're your reasons?"

It probably was a strange question... but it was a piece of information Kobalt liked learning about people. He'd always believed that you could learn a fair bit about someone by their motivation.
@Agent 47

Several thoughts rushed through Kobalt's head as he waited for the airship to reach its destination. First, he considered the possibility of his brothers and sisters being students at Beacon Academy - it was more likely than not, considering the Zaffre family's origins in Vale. Kobalt knew he'd the answer soon enough, though.

However, Kobalt's mind quickly wandered to somewhere else. If he was going to be a student of Beacon, then he was going to be sorted into a team with three other students, just like him. All Kobalt could do was hope they were going to be good teammates, though - as he was going to be paired with them for quite a while. An unskilled person could prove themselves to be a liability, a possibility Kobalt wasn't quite fond of. 'Too soon to make a judgement, I guess. Should probably just wait and see... and anyways, everyone here's accomplished in some way... probably.'

It was then that Kobalt felt that something was amiss, jolting him out of his thoughts. He noticed something that had previously went unseen. What Kobalt noticed... was that someone else had seemingly appeared out of thin air, next to him. This person's sudden appearance gave Kobalt quite the surprise. "Huh?!" He gasped for a second, before quickly covering his mouth. "Damn... don't know how I missed you there. You're one hell of a sneaky one, you know that?" Kobalt spoke to the person, placing a hand onto his cap as he angled it ever so slightly downwards into its original place - where it felt just right.

It was a bit of a pleasant, yet unexpected surprise for Kobalt to have someone approach him, especially in such a boring time. The person was a lady with both blue eyes and hair - Kobalt assumed her hair was dyed, like his. She seemed to have an aqua motif, causing Kobalt to dub her 'Aqua' in his head. Such a name made perfect sense to Kobalt for reasons that would strike most as obvious. However, he didn't know her real name - so 'Aqua' just have to do for now. The woman had also spoken to Kobalt, too - greeting him, and addressing how he wasn't particularly chatty. '... She figured it out pretty damn quick,' Kobalt thought. 'That isn't surprising, though... guess it's about as subtle as a brick to the jaw.'

"Yeah... I guess you could say I'm not much of a mingler." Kobalt answered with a glance over at the blue-haired lady. "Never really been one. Gotta say... sounds like I'm missin' out, though. Maybe I'll give this 'mingling' stuff a shot. Maybe."
Kobalt Zaffre


Ten minutes. In a mere ten minutes, the newest batch of huntsmen and huntresses would be setting foot into none other than the esteemed Beacon Academy - a name well known throughout the world of Remnant. Among the new students was a young man clad in blue and white, a peaked cap on his head and a black eyepatch concealing one of his eyes. The boy was leaning against a wall, deep in thought, though he occasionally glanced over at his fellow students. This was Kobalt Zaffre, the youngest sibling of a competitive family where proving yourself in battle was an unshakable tradition. He'd traveled to Atlas in the past to train himself... and now, he found himself heading back to familiar territory.. to none other than his home, Vale.

Still leaning against the wall, Kobalt looked over at two ladies, both of them looking out the window, seemingly to marvel at the beautiful land of Vale. He couldn't help but lightly smile at this, before dispelling it as quickly as it appeared. He then tilted his cap downwards, so it rested just above his eyes.

Kobalt couldn't help but eye the rest of the students, though. To put it one way, they were a colourful cast... in both senses of the word. Many of them chatted among themselves, clearly excited to meet their new colleagues and to finally reach Beacon Academy. Kobalt himself was keen to take the next step into training himself further - now as a huntsman of Beacon Academy. He knew that it would be the key to becoming the next successor of the Zaffre family.

'How long've we got until we're out of this ship, anyway...?' Kobalt thought to himself as he began to slowly tap his foot on the ground, producing a small thud each time. The airship full of new and upcoming students was just what you'd expect... noisy. And Kobalt never was particularly a fan of excess noise. 'Can't say I'm a big fan of all this standing around.' Kobalt tilted his hat even further downwards, so that it now obscured both of his eyes. He then continued the wait for the airship to arrive at Beacon Academy. So close... yet so far.
