You got it!

What, you're serious? Someone explain this to me.

It's probably for the best nobody learns of Laura's origins.Don't wanna end up giving anyone nightmares.

It's probably not even all that bad. Filled with rainbows, sunshine, flowers, unicorns, and cake. :D

Finally got to post Robert's backstory. Anybody want to take a guess at who I based him off of now?

I'd prefer to reveal bits of my character's/back story in parts, depending on his relationship with others. Instead of all at once. Almost like a jigsaw puzzle.

Especially ones that are clearly aware of the damage. Like, Trico puts on a to-much guise when in the presence of other people.

I like surprises. The characters that don't know they're damaged or realize the extent of their damage.

It's cool. But I have always been one for causing harm to my characters, and then either graphically or not so graphically describing the harm.

I typically enjoy mentally unstable or psychologically damaged characters.

Thing was with the mecha, it was a huge target, not very mobile, and had limited weaponry. By keeping its attention constantly engaged and disarming it, we kept it from singling out and obliterating a target. A big Grimm is more likely to move around constantly, to be unpredictable, and generally more versatile.So the mecha, while deadly and hard to damage effectively, wasn't hard to take down once we had a strategy going. This was almost exactly the case in the series when team RWBY took on Roman in the huge mech suit.

I can see your valid points.

KabenSaal said
Well, unlike everyone else, I like to keep my characters balanced. Plus, the mech may be strong, but its a many vs one situation, while as Trico had the opposite. So unless you spawn omniscience then there will be times when you can't keep an eye on everything at the same time.

I was just poking fun, sorry. o3o;

And yet Trico was rendered half-dead by a group of Beowulfs xD

That's Trico's fault for letting scrubby Beowolves take her down. GBAK/BKGA took down an entire hulking mech with its members relatively intact, though I'm curious to see how Laura, Auriel, and Emlyn will do against the Datura Treant o3o

What? You didn't like the crazy explosive action?

I did enjoy it, but really I don't think anyone sustained injuries other than Bridgett from the falling rocks and Gren taking a few chinks to his armor from its gunfire. GBAK/BKGA didn't really allow the mech to damage any of its members heavily.

Sustaining heavy damage = More dramatic action

Plus, after a while the adrenaline wears off and you kind of want to move on and develop your character more, y'know?

They had won. The fight was over with, at least for now. As this dawned on Kuhaku, his eyes widened and a wide smile parted his lips. Standing at 'head' of the mangled body of the fallen machine, a trembling joy grew within his breast. Releasing his Great Axe, its large head thudded heavily against the ground and buried itself. Then, his mirth came bursting from his lungs as he fell back onto his rear, laughing musically. His voice echoing throughout the tunnel as he took in large gulps of air in between his laughs to fuel his gaiety. Arms wrapped around his sides as if to keep his body from rattling apart, tears had welled up at the corners of his eyes. As a few snorts interrupted his merrymaking, his laughter eventually subsided and he lay spread-eagle on the ground. Staring at the ceiling, he reached up with a gloved hand to wipe away at the corners of his eyes. Face flushed red from his rejoicing, he chuckled once more and grinned. A relieved sigh escaped his tired lungs.

"Ah...we did it. We finally did it. We beat the boss." he quietly murmured to himself.

Looking up to where Bridgett was seated, he rolled over onto his stomach to stare at her for a moment. It seems as those she suffered injuries from either this battle or a prior one. Either way, she looked tired and hurt. Jumping to his feet, he briskly jogged over to her. Gren was rummaging through the mech's body parts for some odd reason or another behind him. As he neared her, lights suddenly turned on. Glancing over his shoulder at Gren, he figured that must've been what he was doing earlier.

Turning to face Bridgett, he squatted down to her eye level and flashed her a bright smile.
"Hi, there. I'm Kuhaku. Kuhaku Shiro. Gren's partner. It's nice to meet you. Are you hurt anywhere?" he spoke softly with a gentle expression on his face.

Though ironically, he was probably in no shape to speak. He was rather battered and beaten, himself. Evident by all of his sweat, dirt, scratches and scrapes. Reaching for her with a gloved hand, he almost took her hand but stopped before he did. Figuring that she probably wouldn't appreciate being grabbed and touched by a nearly complete stranger, he merely kept his hand hovering in front of her. Smiling as black stripes appeared on his ears and swaying tail, he spoke again.

"If you don't mind, could you possibly look me in the eyes? This won't hurt at all. he promised her.
The hazel color in his eyes faded away. Changing into a bright, glowing blue instead as his Semblance took hold of Bridgett's senses. Gradually, the pain in her body would fade away becoming numb. [NOCICEPTION MANIPULATION]

Keeping his hand hovering in front of her, he imparted some of his Aura stores to her. With his hand glowing sky-blue from his Aura, he healed whatever wounds he could, save for any possible broken bones. He wouldn't want those healed incorrectly, so he left them be and focused on any other wounds her body may have sustained. As he squatted there, a thought quietly passed through his mind. Abel seemed to accept him well enough but, how would she? Did she harbor anything against the Faunus? Shaking his head slightly and frowning at the passing thought, he refocused on numbing her pain and healing her in silence.

Looking over his shoulder, his ears twitched curiously as Gren walked up to them carrying large box, setting it down where they could all see. Apparently, the mech was carrying it and guarding it all this time. Kuhaku had nearly forgotten it.
"Well then... The moment of truth. Let's see what's inside." Gren said as he began to pry open the container.
Looking back at Bridgett, he gave her another smile and halted his healing. Having done all he could, he jogged over to Gren's side.
"Hold up there, big guy. We should all open this together. I mean, we all earned this equally, right?"
Looking back at Bridgett with his glowing eyes, he motioned for her to come. Turning to where Abel was, he yelled for him.
"Hey, Abel! Get over here!"
Taking a few steps towards the box, he placed a gloved hand on it.

The back. I already took it off, don't worry.

Finally, socializing and character development! xD
