@Raptra I'll get something up ASAP.

Beacon: Before the Fall

Kaldyr lost himself in thought for a moment, as the gravity of today's events set in. He'd made it through Beacon Academy's initiation, and now he had a team. Yet another step closer... Soon I'll be one of them, but first, I need to prove that I am ready. I can only hope that I've made an impression on the instructors after today. At the very least they see me as adequate, otherwise I'd be in the stomach of a King Taijitu right now... No matter, I'll find out soon enoug-

Kaldyr was pulled from his focus as the other members of team HGCK began to speak.

"Hey, at least you got me the hot one if you catch my drift"

"You all are pretty cute to me so push my choice,"

They're flirting... ALREADY. Great... he thought to himself as he rested his head on one of his hands and let out a quiet sigh. Kaldyr could only wonder how these two could be so close already, though he did not consider it much further. The girl's comment on him being 'cute' was certainly... strange yet interesting at the same time. He could not think of why she would see him as such, but the reason was irrelevant.

“Where are you guys from? Last night I heard about people from all over Remnant! So I'm curious!”

The question posed by the other Faunus on the team brought a growing feeling Kaldyr had been wrestling with to the surface. Homesickness and worry both plagued the wolf Faunus, he missed his family back in Menagerie. Kaldyr couldn't help but worry for his father and mother, would there even be enough space for them back home? Menagerie had always been cramped at best, but they'd make do, they had to. Then there was the issue of his younger brother, Skolas. During the attack Kaldyr's will to became a huntsman was solidified, but his brother's was utterly obliterated. He almost seemed hollow after that point, and Kaldyr desperately hoped that he wouldn't stay that way. Wishful thinking wouldn't solve any of that though, all Kaldyr could do was bury his worries and hope.

It turned out the girl on their team was from Mistral, interestingly enough. Kaldyr didn't recall seeing her during his time at Sanctum, but then again, socializing was something he avoided most times. It would be no surprise to him if he had merely forgotten her or never even met her before.

Shaking himself from his semi-stupor, Kaldyr regained his composure, faced the other Faunus boy and spoke.

"Well I'm from Menagerie, but I did live in Mistral for a short while. Just long enough to get through Sanctum at least." He paused for a moment, before resuming with a sort of nervous haste. "Oh! I haven't even introduced myself yet. My name is Kaldyr, Kaldyr Tolbac."

Following his somewhat-botched introduction, the sound of soft music caught his attention. His ears twitched in the direction of the sound, and he looked to discover that the source was the girl from Mistral. She seemed to be playing a panflute of some kind and the melody was lovely. Is she floating or have I finally lost my mind? He thought to himself as he looked on, though a few more seconds of investigation revealed that she was indeed hovering. She was just kind of suspended in the air, as if held by an unseen force. The display was only amplified by the music carrying a serene and almost comforting sound. Strange... I wonder how...

It then suddenly occurred to Kaldyr that he'd been staring at the girl. Rapidly, he broke his gaze and begun searching through and unpacking one of his larger bags.

"It's a bit of a shame, I didn't really get a chance to see any of you in action back in the forest... Speaking of which... How do you guys think you did on the initiation? Personally I can't get it out of my head."

@Raptra Better, but inspiration for this post is unfortunately scarce. I've kept you waiting for far too long. If you're tired of waiting I'm sorry. And I give you full permission to control Silas if you want to speed this part up. I'm honestly considering passing my turn up in favor of having the rp progress. Again I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.

Beacon: Before the Fall

The Emerald Forest: Kaldyr

The mid-morning sun beat down intensely upon the students assembled at Beacon Cliff. Each student waiting with anticipation for the trial they would face as initiation. Kaldyr stood among these other students, just as uncertain as they all were, though his stoic expression did not mirror this. The other's were preparing by chatting with those they had met, likely to put off their own stresses. Kaldyr unfortunately hadn't really met anyone yet, so that option was nonexistent for him. The noise was insufferable close up, to him it was as if they were all yelling in an incoherent mess. His Faunus blood was the likely culprit of this, making their conversation sound much louder. Regardless it was distracting, he needed quiet, he needed to be alone with his thoughts for a moment. Swiftly, he made his way away from the talkative crowd and stood alone at the far end of the line of plates thinking to himself.

Why bring us here for initiation? There's something about all of this, the plates, the forest. Do they mean to weed out the weak? Cruel, yet effective. Then again, why would Beacon accept these people if they were unsuitable for huntsman training? There's a missing link in this somewhere...

His internal musings were cut short when Professor Ozpin began to speak.

"For years you have trained to become warriors. And today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."

A test then? To see our capabilities for themselves? Makes enough sense.

He pondered this as Glynda spoke, not truly paying attention to her words. Yet when Ozpin spoke again, his train of thought made a screeching halt.

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you work well. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next 4 years."

This elicited mixed reactions from the group, some happy, some shocked. Kaldyr was quite worried about just whom he'd be partnered with, the wrong person could transform his life at Beacon into a living hell. The way that the next four years were going to go was about to be decided for him in, quite literally the blink of an eye.Partners are being decided TODAY?! Shit. I-I don't even know anyone here. They're honestly going to have such an important decision made by sheer chance? He could only hope that luck and fate would be kind this day.

His focus had been thrown off. Not good. For the remainder of Ozpin's instruction, Kaldyr was busy attempting to piece his composure back together, and so he only caught the explanation in pieces.

"-northern end of the forest, -opposition along the way, -destroy everything in your path, -instructors will not intervene, -abandoned temple, -containing several relics, -choose one, and return."

As the onslaught of broken phrases and thoughts ended, Kaldyr had successfully regained his calm. The others had all taken on a readied stance, and so he would follow suit. The Faunus boy drew Kvöld and Dögun from their places on his back, and looked them over for a brief moment. He'd filled the reservoir with dust mere moments ago, neither weapon was scratched, and the blades were honed to a keen edge. Honed, much like he had done with his own combat style through years of training at Sanctum.

He was ready in every sense of the word.

All that was left was to prove his capabilities to Beacon, and all the teachers there.

He took up a stance with Kvöld and Dögun drawn and ready, preparing to launch off of the hard, stony pad underneath him. Surely enough mere moments later, he could hear the rapid clicking of the launching mechanism underneath him. It quickly occurred to Kaldyr that he would be getting launched first. He took a deep breath and focused as he was catapulted into the air.

The wind surged around the wolf Faunus as he tore through the sky. Stabilizing relatively quickly as he adjusted to his new momentum, Kaldyr began scanning the forest below for someplace to land. Now if I could just find some way to land without shattering on impact, that would be perfect. His eye caught sight of a particularly wide looking tree that he was on course with. "Perfect" he said to himself.

In one quick motion, Kaldyr sheathed Kvöld within Dögun, and transformed the pair into the much larger Miðnætti Hylja. His plan was to use the axe's blade to catch himself on, and carve a way down the tree. "Just a bit closer..." he muttered to himself as he brought the gargantuan weapon into position. He would pass just by the left side of the tree, with any luck his plan would send him down the tree at an almost safe speed. Almost.

As the axe's head made contact with the tree, Kaldyr heard the satisfying sound of his weapon finding purchase in the tree's bark. He'd caught the tree just right, and begun his improvised descent, carving a large, ugly, vertical gash into the tree. Pulling Miðnætti Hylja out of the tree, Kaldyr took a moment to examine his handiwork. "Not the cleanest landing, but it worked." He reverted Miðnætti Hylja back to the twin forms of Kvöld and Dögun, as he listened and looked above. He could see the others fly past one-by-one, some were quite literally screaming their way through the skies. He let out a quiet laugh as he begun his trek northward, weapons in hand.

After roughly five minutes of walking, Kaldyr came to a wide clearing. He stopped for a moment and heard a shifting of leaves behind him. His ears twitched, more movement. This time it was on his right flank, branches creaking and brush being pushed out of the way. He took up a defensive stance and paced closer to the source of the sound. Looking into the undergrowth, his gaze was met by a large serpentine body, covered in a scaly, ebony-coloured hide with piercing red eyes. A King Taijitu was trying to sneak up on him. It had chosen the wrong prey.

Kaldyr quickly slashed the black half of the gigantic snake twice with Kvöld, before retreating back into the clearing. It was clearly in pain and pissed off. Ozpin mentioned that the instructors would be watching them, here was Kaldyr's chance to show off a little! The onyx serpent coiled its massive body in front of the lone student, angrily eyeing the boy standing before it. Kaldyr smirked as he activated his semblance and watched a blue projection of the snake rear back, and then dart towards him with unnerving speed. He pushed a button on the inside of Dögun, and the shield became a whirling blade, ready to wreak havoc upon the Grimm threatening its wielder. As the Taijitu propelled itself towards the Faunus, Kaldyr sidestepped and shoved the whirling Dögun into the side of its gaping maw, effectively sawing through a small part of the creature's mouth. Hah! Chew on that! The beast recoiled and gave the boy enough breathing room to stop his saw-shield, and coat his sword in thunder dust. The snake left it's side exposed as it attempted to coil itself behind its target, so Kaldyr rushed in and rapidly sliced the body of the colossal Grimm, each slash sending lightning coursing through the terrible snake's entire being. The Taijitu had collapsed, much to Kaldyr's surprise. He would take any opening the monster gave him, the boy rushed up to the pitch black head and impaled it with Kvöld to make certain of the beast's demise.

He took a few deep breaths, as he heard the all too familiar sound of shifting brush, and a lunging Taijitu. The Ivory half of the snake had caught Kaldyr by surprise, and was lunging for him. Panicking, Kaldyr tried to sidestep and bash the serpent's head, which half worked. The serpent instead crashed into a large tree, but Kaldyr had still taken a large part of the impact. Sick of wasting his time with the Taijitu, Kaldyr merged Kvöld and Dögun as he walked towards the dazed snake lying on the forest floor. "Not exactly polite of you to sneak up on me. Whatever, this will be fun. For me that is. " He said as he walked towards the stunned Grimm, Miðnætti Hylja in hand. He raised the gargantuan axe and brought it down upon the creature's neck with a satisfying *CRUNCH* The twin snakes turned to ash as Kaldyr pressed onward, to the temple.

It was at the temple when he finally encountered another student, a human boy a few inches taller than him, with black and grey hair, and crimson eyes. He'd introduced himself as Charon Fotiá, and so it seemed that Charon and Kaldyr would be partners for their time at Beacon. The ruined temple had a series of marble pillars cracked and ruined by moss and age, each one housing a chess piece on top. after looking the lot over, the pair decided on the white rook and made back towards Beacon Cliff. To complete their initiation.

"And finally, we have Hansa Agouti, Glas Bonsai, Kaldyr Tolbac, and Charon Fotiá. You four retrieved the White Rook, from now on you will be named Team HGCK, lead by... Hansa Agouti!"

The announcement of Professor Ozpin pulled the Faunus boy out of his reflection on the day's initiation. The events kept playing back in his head, as if he were unconsciously examining his own actions for faults. He was almost bursting with excitement as now he finally was on a team, Team HGCK. The fact that he would not lead a team was disheartening, had he not been fast enough during initiation? Maybe it was for the best, Kaldyr never really was the kind of guy to be social. He'd always leave the idle chatter and conversation to others while he'd be busy studying, training or reading.

The more pressing matter was that of the new team. The screen behind Ozpin only gave a picture to work off of, so Kaldyr knew next to nothing about these people. He looked at each photo with intent, studying and analyzing the faces. He could easily pick his team out in a crowd, learning their names though would be a whole other mountain to climb. It seemed that there was another Faunus on Team HGCK, that was a huge relief to Kaldyr. There had been almost no Faunus aside from him at Sanctum, at least not any that sprang to mind. This would be a nice change of pace. For the next four years he'd be with this new team, hopefully none of them were obnoxious. He could only hope.

Moments later he was lead to a room that would be shared by Team HGCK. The insides of the room were remarkably plain, four beds, a couple of desks, and zero originality. As the team flooded into their criminally bland room and looked around at its disappointing contents, Kaldyr looked over the rest of his team. He was the second tallest of the bunch, shorter than only Charon, who he'd met earlier.

“Well, it's time for team HGCK to unpack!”

The other Faunus on their team, whose name Kaldyr was not certain of, had somewhat decent wordplay skills but a better point. The bags Kaldyr was carrying were heavy, VERY heavy, so he'd set them down at the first chance he got. Once he had dropped the burden he'd been carrying for what felt like ages, he turned back to the team to see the only girl on their team give a terrible salute. "Saluting? I didn't know we were in Atlas all of a sudden..." He remarked jokingly as he sat on the nearest bed. There was quiet for a moment and then suddenly.

"I'M SHARING WITH ALL BOYS!"

Any composure Kaldyr had was shattered at that moment. The stoic mask fell away for a bit as he let out a genuine laugh. There was no need for a stone face, at least he didn't think there was with these guys. They all seemed like decent people, and so far none of them had done anything idiotic. Then again, Kaldyr still didn't know any of these three well enough to call them friends quite yet, but he trusted that would change pretty soon.

" The next four years are going to be an adventure, that much is certain."

Beacon: Before the Fall

Frigging double post...

Beacon: Before the Fall

Nicknames: Kal

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Race: Wolf Faunus

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 185 lbs.

Appearance: Kaldyr has medium length, straight, white hair that matches the colour of his wolf ears and tail. His eyes are blue like an ocean, and his skin is a light complexion. Kaldyr possesses a relatively lean build that makes his inherent strength somewhat of a surprise. Usually seen wearing black pants with a long navy blue trench coat. The coat was a gift from his father who was both his inspiration and motivation to become a huntsman.

Kaldyr

Thnak you Misumi!

Bio: Kaldyr was born the eldest son of three to a Faunus couple living in Menagerie. His father was a huntsman who'd graduated from Haven Academy (and built himself a reputation there, not the good kind), and his mother a historian and author. Soon enough, his father's line of work required that he move back to Mistral. Kaldyr and his younger brother were absolutely enamoured with the idea of huntsmen and huntresses, so much so that they begged their father to let them go with him. A few weeks worth of bargaining and pleading later and the family was on the next boat out of Menagerie.

A few more years passed and everything was going well, Kaldyr had just finished his first year at Sanctum, and his family was happy.

Then the attack happened. Bandits swarmed the village, and started taking everything that wasn't nailed down. Unfortunately for them however, they took too long. The Grimm showed up, and the bloodbath began. Amidst the chaos, Kaldyr's father and his team picked off the Grimm one by one as they were focused on the looters. The last Grimm however, an Ursa near death, got a lucky strike in and crippled the cocky huntsman. Panicking, Kaldyr grabbed the shield on his back and broke into a mad dash over to his father as the Ursa inched ever closer to it's incapacitated prey. The shadowy beast raised it's claws and let out a triumphant roar as the boy dashed to his wounded father's side. The Ursa brought it's claw down to finish its wounded foe- but it instead met with Kaldyr"s shield. The beast recoiled and was confused long enough for the other huntsmen and huntresses to finish it. It was there, out of breath, and at his father's side that his will to become a huntsman became ironclad.

With his father crippled, his days of being a huntsman came to an end, but the family remained in Mistral long enough for Kaldyr to graduate from Sanctum. His family planned to move back to Menagerie, sure it was crowded, but it was also much safer than the other kingdoms. Kaldyr however, had a different destination in mind. Beacon Academy is where he would go and realize his dream to become a man that would protect those who could not not protect themselves.

Personality: Kaldyr initially comes off as a stoic person, when in truth he really does care about other people. He'd rather be with a few close friends than in a crowd of acquaintances, as socializing is not his strong suit. Kaldyr is also very analytical of everything, unfortunately this also makes him a touch judgmental of people. He is slow to trust others, but once you've earned it, Kaldyr becomes a loyal friend who will do anything for his friends. If he was told some secret by a friend it would stay a secret forevermore, as loyalty and trust are huge with him. If someone has a problem, Kaldyr would be the first one in to help. He's the kind of guy to put others before himself and the first to take on danger if it means others don't have to. Finally, those who try to put themselves above others will quickly earn Kaldyr's ire, as he cannot stand egotistical people.

Semblance Name: Framtíðarsýn "Future Sight"

Description of Semblance: Framtíðarsýn allows Kaldyr to focus on a single creature, and foresee what their next move will be. Kaldyr perceives this as a sort of reverse after image, made of his dark blue aura. By integrating this ability into his fighting style, Kaldyr is capable of dishing out incredibly effective counter-attacks. For example, if Kaldyr were fighting a Deathstalker and used Framtíðarsýn against it, he'd be able to see what kind of attack the Deathstalker would try to land on him i.e (Left claw, Right claw, Stinger, retreat, charge). Framtíðarsýn also grows in strength the more experienced Kaldyr is at fighting his current target, becoming more accurate, showing a longer prediction, and being less draining to utilize.

Semblance Limitations: While Framtíðarsýn is very effective against the creatures of Grimm, it is severely hampered against sentient targets like Humans and Faunus. The main reason for this being that a person can change their mind or intentions on a whim, while the Grimm have no such free will and usually follow through on their lethal instincts. His semblance can also be fooled, feint attacks will trip him up 9 times out of 10, and attacks with delayed effects (poison, traps etc.) are undetectable to Kaldyr's semblance. As mentioned earlier Framtíðarsýn works much better against targets Kaldyr has fought before, meaning that in a encounter against an unfamiliar enemy, Framtíðarsýn is severely weakened, and it's predictions are much less accurate. Framtíðarsýn can also only be used in bursts lest he burn through all of his aura, and there is a delay before Kaldyr can switch his current target.

Weapon: Kvöld and Dögun - Kaldyr's weapons of choice are a sword and shield pairing named Kvöld and Dögun.

Kvöld - Kvöld is a menacing yet elegant looking blade with a single sharp edge. Much like Dögun, a number of the weapon's parts are a deep blue, namely the hilt and a single strip of metal that runs down the length of the blade, the rest of the sword is made of a dark, lightweight metal that allows for dust to adhere to it. Hidden in the blunt side of Kvöld, is a number of small metal plates that can be deployed to cover Kvöld's edge and make the length of the weapon bulkier, blunt, and almost... rounded? This has a unique purpose but first...

Dögun - Dögun is a large, thick, and heavy heater shield with bladed edges. Like Kvöld, some of the weapons parts are a deep blue, the bladed edges are one of the only parts that are not painted in such a way, the edges are made of a similar dark metal to Kvöld, but they do not permit dust adherence. By pushing a button on one of the straps, Kaldyr can cause Dögun to begin spinning rapidly, deflecting melee attackers much easier and acting almost like a saw if he chooses to attack. This makes Kaldyr a very dangerous foe in close combat. Dögun also bears a slot in the top that serves as a dust reservoir, wide enough for Kvöld to fit into comfortably. By momentarily sheathing Kvöld within Dögun, Kaldyr can coat his sword in dust for a number of effects (i.e. flaming sword for fire dust, disabling strikes with lightning dust etc.). Dögun also has a couple of grooves that lead down the length of the shield that allow it to expand outwards. This too has a unique purpose.
If he chooses to, Kaldyr can combine both his weapons by placing Kvöld into Dögun and pulling a trigger, causing the blades guard to deploy before elongating massively and sending the shield towards the weapon's new tip, the shield's grooves let it expand outwards to reveal the combination of both Kvöld and Dögun: a beast of a weapon known as Miðnætti Hylja.

Miðnætti Hylja - Miðnætti Hylja is a gigantic battleaxe, formed by combining Kvöld and Dögun, with Kvöld making up the weapon's handle and Dögun becoming the business end of the axe.The weapon retains it's parent weapon's black and blue colour schemes and is a sight to behold. The weapon is capable of devastating blows, but it is insanely heavy and thus cannot be used for long periods of time. It is also worth noting that Miðnætti Hylja is both slow and incapable of using dust of any sort, it relies on it's raw strength and sheer size. The transformation to and from Miðnætti Hylja is lengthy so Kaldyr only really uses it if he knows that he can get a good number of attacks on a target. If Miðnætti Hylja makes contact, it WILL hurt.
