Bio
The years behind me grow and become brighter whilst the years ahead shrink and become dimmer, providing me an excellent opportunity to use the word 'whilst'. Now I'm tired and can't think of anything else funny to say. Let's see, classy info dump should do. I am FlitterFaux this time around, I tend to get horribly busy (still am) and leave the guild sometimes for years at a time but I just can't stay away forever. I'm not awesome enough for advanced but fast paced one lining does not work for me either so casual is juuusst right. I'm a lady, possibly past 29 but don't ask which 29th birthday I'm at, I like rainbows which is good because they're hard to escape in Hawaii, I like fantasy and sci fi with liberal sprinklings of horror and drama, and I'm tired again. I'll finish the rest later. Edit: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the phone. I can start a private conversation... with myself!? Epic. Truly epic.
Though she remained dubious about how helpful her presence had actually been Ben's compliments made her feel better. Here was what had to be one of Beacon's best students smiling at her of all people and assuring her she had done well despite her mistakes. Against that smile she felt a little warmth come to her cheeks and she couldn't bring herself to dispute what he said. In fact she couldn't think of much to say at all. She looked dumbly between Luke and Ben, imagining the two of them regularly taking on enormous Grimm. How are we even in the same year as students again? Despite the thought she was glad to have people like them with her.
"T-thank you."
She nodded without thinking when it was suggested she get started. She felt ridiculously tired and did not want to move anymore but she didn't even consider protesting. Besides, being soaked through as she was it was getting very cold, and she was sure keeping on the move would help with that.
She stood reluctantly, sluggishly as she listened to Luke. Worn out? She held up a hand, opening and closing it a few times. It was shaking a little, but from weariness alone or how cold it felt she wasn't sure. After the past few weeks, yesterday's emotional crash, and grimm studies...
A casual greeting from an unfamiliar voice drew her attention and she turned to greet the newcomer; one of Luke's friends, she assumed. She was surprised that she recognized him, though it took a moment to remember where she had seen him. She was also surprised by the cold shiver that traveled down her spine upon meeting his eyes. She hadn't gotten that sense from him the day before, in the Cafe, but standing just a few feet from him now she felt unsettled.
She realized she had taken a step back and was staring at him wordlessly. Rude, Skye. This is one of Luke's friends, and a classmate. Writing off the feeling as general nerves Skye bowed to the newcomer and thought to introduce herself.
"He-hello-"
The intension vanished in an instant and she literally jumped at the booming voice that seemingly came out of nowhere. Instincts again almost overrode common sense but she managed not to do anything embarrassing. Barely...
Name: Skye Kalsang Age: 20 Gender: Female Race: Faunus, Red Fox
Weapon: None
Semblance: None
Personality: Skye used to be a very positive, energetic, passionate, and fun loving individual. These days one would assume Skye to be a depressed, strange, and antisocial individual, which would be an accurate assessment. The destruction of her village, family, friends, and the events immediately following that night left her a shell of her former self. Shame and regret overshadow her life and she has yet to resolve her issues.
Though haunted and morose, Skye is naturally a kind and helpful person that is loath to hurt anyone or see anyone get hurt. She would rather jump in front of danger to protect someone than do nothing. She keeps to herself when not actively working or helping someone and avoids forming any close relationships. She does not speak which can make interacting with her frustrating, though she may communicate with easy to recognize gestures.
Appearance: Skye stands at 5'10" and weighs about 140 lbs. Her hair is black, past her shoulders and slightly wavy. She normally keeps her hair tied in a high ponytail as it tends to get in her face. Her eyes are bright blue with the barest hint of silver. Her skin is a medium tan with a series of script tattooed over her heart and arms. The black tattoos are in her old village's language and are a list of names. Skye's ears and tail are red furred with black tips, not far from what one might expect of a red fox faunus.
Skye wears very simple clothes in dull colors, usually a full sweater and long skirt with heavy boots. Shades of tan and brown are the usual colors. During colder months she adds a long coat and scarf, but during the warmer summers Vale has she might be seen wearing a plain tanktop instead.
History: A simple choice, right instead of left.
Skye's village (Rokhang), a very isolated place with mountains and cliffs as its main defense, one night fell to an ambitious attack from the Grimm. Skye and her sister Lily were out near the cliffs when the attack began, and Skye had to make a decision: run back towards the village and try to find the rest of their family, or grab Lily and take her to the docks. The second option, though the cowards choice in her mind, was the best chance to save at least her younger sister and escape on a boat. She decided on the ocean as their only chance, even though Lily fought her every step of the way.
Skye got them aboard a fishing boat with several others and they waited as long as they could, hoping against hope but none of the rest of the family came. There was only Grimm and in the end they were forced to leave everything precious to them behind. This act was the beginning of the rift between her and Lily but it would not be the only hard choice Skye would have to make for her sister.
Along the trip towards Atlas the boat ran out of fuel and with very little supplies to begin with the situation quickly became desperate. Adrift aimlessly, people began to die and with so little food... Lily has never forgiven Skye for the choices she made during this time, and Skye believes she deserves her sister's hatred.
Eventually the boat drifted near enough to Atlas for them to be rescued, but they were the only survivors at that point. Both of them were placed into foster care and Skye took on both a vow of silence and nonviolence, haunted by her own guilt. She took on a lot of extra charity work hoping to make a harsh world a little bit better, but none of this prevented Skye and Lily from drifting further apart.
Though they have not dealt with the divide between them Skye continues to follow Lily whenever she moves and Lily does not stop her from doing so. Most recently the two have moved from Atlas to Vale following Lily's acceptance into Beacon Academy, where Skye does extra work to support both herself and Lily.
Name: Lily Kalsang Age: 15 Gender: Female Race: Faunus, Red Fox
Weapon: Rokhang's Revenge (Primary) A simple looking katana with a strong metal sheath, Rokhang's revenge does not look like anything special. The blade and sheath are fully white and adorned with script almost identical to Skye's tattoos. The pommel is hollow and designed to fit Dust crystals giving the blade whatever elemental property Lily desires.
Apart from it's excellent craftsmanship and durability there is indeed nothing special about the sword itself. However it is a superb conduit for Lily's semblance and when swung fast enough can throw that energy in a cutting wave for a certain distance. The Dust used at the time further augments the energy from her semblance and Lily can cause a lot of damage very quickly to Grimm at close range.
Deadly Sin Wrath (Secondary) A thick bracer on Lily's left forearm solves the problem of her lack of range and high powered attacks. Deadly Sin Wrath is a truly devastating compact beam weapon, but must be used very sparingly as it consumes Dust crystals rapidly. Very rapidly. The weapon fires a highly concentrated beam with superb range and damage at a maximum duration of 1.5 seconds before a full sized crystal is used up. Tiny bursts with respectable damage output may be used though the energy consumption is less efficient and shaves .3 seconds off the maximum duration.
Wrath was originally designed to use fire Dust and sears through many materials on contact, providing a lot of penetration to go with its raw power. Other crystals like lightning or steam Dust may also be used but with a notable loss in overall damage. Also some types of Dust completely lack the ability to cut through things as a beam.
Replacing an expended crystal is quick and easy but Lily has to carry a large number of spare crystals if she wants Wrath to be anything more than a backup weapon. Wrath also lacks the ability to conduct the energy of her semblance like bullets or melee weapons can.
Semblance: Defiant Star When facing Grimm Lily's aura shines a with a brilliant white light. Any Grimm that touch this light begins to disintegrate though not instantly. In fact the less Grimm nearby and the weaker those Grimm are the less damage her semblance can even do. Against most humans this ability is almost useless.
However, in the worst situations against numerous powerful Grimm the light of Defiant Star becomes brighter and the contact damage much more potent. She may also focus for a second or two and project the energy of her semblance as a limited ranged attack. Melee weapons and even bullets may also conduct the energy adding more damage to her attacks against Grimm.
The light itself at its strongest can be difficult to look at directly, but it seems to have a mild blinding and stunning effect for lesser Grimm she gets close to.
Personality: Lily, like Skye, used to be a carefree and funloving person until the fall of Rokhang. Though Skye saved her life that night, part of her can't help but see what she did as an act of cowardice she had never expected from her older sister. Skye's following methods to keep her alive left deep mental and emotional scars Lily never fully got over. Even knowing Skye only did what she did to save her life Lily can't yet bring herself to forgive her.
Today Lily is a jaded, reserved person fully dedicated to the fight against the Grimm. Her innocence having long ago been lost Lily is determined to become a Huntress. She works hard towards this goal with a singular focus that leaves room for little else in her life. In short Lily is driven by the hope of sparing others the kind of pain she went through, but also a burning desire for revenge.
Much of Lily's personality is repressed either passively or willfully as she focuses on her combat schooling. However, on very rare occasions the bright, friendly, and sweet person she used to be is drawn to the surface.
Appearance: Lily is 5'5" and weights about 120 lbs. with long silver blonde hair. Her hair is mostly straight but kept in a braid half the time. Her eyes are silvery blue just like her older sister but the fur on her ears and tail is a lighter golden red with white tips.
Lily cares little for fashion these days though it used to be something she was interested in. Generally she wears her school uniform most of the time, seeing little reason to wear much else outside of combat or training. In fact on missions it almost looks like Lily simply tossed the uniform jacket and traded the skirt and shoes for shorts and boots.
History: Lily's home and family were lost in a Grimm attack save for her older sister, Skye. Her sister was responsible for saving her but at the cost of abandoning the rest of their family. They were then adrift on the ocean for a time and people began to kill each other and starve to death. Though she would have rather died Lily was forced by Skye to survive, no matter what it took.
When they were finally rescued by a passing Atlesian ship Lily was forever changed by what happened on that boat. Unable to fully blame or hate her own sister who was just as traumatized, Lily turned her feelings against the Grimm. With a vicious determination Lily applied for combat schooling as soon as she was able and put all her energy towards becoming a Huntress.
Recently Lily has been accepted to Beacon Academy as a promising student and moved to Vale with her sister.
Ok, so in light of the fact many people have not even been online in several days we are going to wait at the very most two more days. After that we might as well officially call it and restart. Az and I might need some extra time to fix things up all nice like.
Would like to mention once more if anyone would like to co-GM just let Az know. Also input in general would be appreciated :3
@Etranger I feel the same way, believe me, there's a lot of great writing for just the short time since this started. But if most of us agree said reboot is for the best I'm prepared for that. Already spoken to hagroden who had some good ideas on improvements. @thewizardguy Glad you're still interested and flexible with how things go.
I'm going to keep waiting a bit longer to see if anyone else wants to put in their thoughts.
Akay everyone, discussed things with Azereiah and there's a few ways we could get things rolling more smoothly again. Would like your help by letting us know what you guys would prefer to do.
Option A) Completely restart the whole RP from the first post or so with a break between now and then; giving Az more time to develop and restucture things, in particular teachers and the exams.
Option B) Keep everything written so far and simply time skip over this particular test, that way nothing already written goes to waste but we can get this rolling along again.
Option C) Take a break to restucture the exams, back up a little, and pick up around the time following the written exam.
Aw, dammit... Don't want to see you go. I know thinhs have been slower lately and I'm trying to see where people are at right now. I'll talk with Az about what to do. Hate the idea of scuttling any of the progress we've made so far...
The years behind me grow and become brighter whilst the years ahead shrink and become dimmer, providing me an excellent opportunity to use the word 'whilst'. Now I'm tired and can't think of anything else funny to say. Let's see, classy info dump should do. I am FlitterFaux this time around, I tend to get horribly busy (still am) and leave the guild sometimes for years at a time but I just can't stay away forever. I'm not awesome enough for advanced but fast paced one lining does not work for me either so casual is juuusst right. I'm a lady, possibly past 29 but don't ask which 29th birthday I'm at, I like rainbows which is good because they're hard to escape in Hawaii, I like fantasy and sci fi with liberal sprinklings of horror and drama, and I'm tired again. I'll finish the rest later. Edit: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the phone. I can start a private conversation... with myself!? Epic. Truly epic.
