<Snipped quote by SirBeowulf> Nice. It's also defined in the little bit beneath my username on each post. Please direct any and all hugs to your computer monitor. It'll reach me eventually. Some nice entries for the contest so far! With three days remaining, I hope to see a bunch more.

@Lugubrious

Wait, we got another contest going on? Or is this the same one from before?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Lugubrious GOD DAMN IT. I JUST GOT IT. FOR ALL THESE YEARS.

@SirBeowulf

Wow.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

So, I've been thinking it over all day, and I've reached a decision. I'm stepping out. I've been feeling unmotivated to post, the RP is moving a little fast for my tastes, you've got people who want to take my place, etc. etc. I'm sure you'll survive without me, but I'm sorry I'm leaving so soon. Seeya later, guys. I'll remove my stuff from all the Docs.

@Kafka Komedy

Sorry to see you go, best of wishes to you.

<Snipped quote by MULTI_MEDIA_MAN> It was late. I was tired. Thank you for the correction. <Snipped quote by Forsythe> We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control.

@Guess Who

I like you, Guess Who. I like you a lot, I noticed your 'Back in Black' thing too. We need to become friends. Close friends.

@Lugubrious @Kaithas Hey, peeps. I posted Rowan's aide CS and it's mostly finished save for maybe a few minor edits, alterations, and adjustments here and there. Let me know what y'all think and Kaithas and I will collaborate on the introduction to the 5th Period Practice class.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Esther Vanhomrigh

Name: Esther Vanhomrigh
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Subject: Practice/Teacher's Aide.

Weapons: Primary:

DSTR

aka 'Duster' – A Dust ammunition, magazine fed, semi-automatic rifle. Attached accessories is a holographic red-dot weapon sight with night-vision capacities and combination combat-light/angled fore-grip. Inserting her pointer finger, middle finger, and thumb into the slots on the side of her rifle she can switch between charging her rounds with Fire, Lightning, and Ice Dust.

Secondary:

DMTE

aka 'Dust Mote' - A Dust ammunition, magazine fed, semi-automatic handgun. Inserting one of three magnetic-locking plugs stored under the front frame into the back, she can charge her rounds with Fire, Lightning, and Ice Dust.

Melee:

Feral Lance

Survival Knife – A very big f**king knife.

Specialty – Mid-to-long ranged fighter, using fire and maneuver tactics to close the distance in order to increase her effective lethality if not outright executing targets at range. Has decent to moderate skill in close-ranged combat with her handgun and knife, and is adept at disabling hand-to-hand combat techniques and take-downs.

Semblance: Propagation – The ability to make temporary spectral copies of objects such as weapons and ammunition. Using this, she and her allies have near infinite stores of ammunition and can multiply her own fighting power or those of her allies for as long as she stands in combat. Upon complete usage, destruction, or dismissal from her, the spectral copies dissolve and disappear. Any weapon copies she creates have the added effect of telekinetic control by the user. She can only make copies of objects she physically touches.

Personality: No nonsense, no bull$h!t, and straight to the point of things. She has little tolerance for fools, troublemakers, and disrespectful $h!theads along with those without the will to persevere and endure. Seemingly cold-hearted with an exterior hardened by experience, she earnestly cares for each and every student that chooses to stick it out in her and Rowan's class. Admittedly, not in the same 'Momma bear' way as Rowan. She respects those who wish to improve themselves and those who work hard. Disobey her and Rowan, act like a belligerent f##khead and you can expect to be physically ejected from their class.

Color: Eton Blue

Emblem: A skull sporting a feather headdress with a knife between its teeth and dual crossed hatchets underneath making a 'skull and crossbones'.

Appearance

Esther stands at 5'11 and weighs in at 140 pounds. Her body is comprised of lean, solid muscle. Her lithe figure hard-earned from her time spent physically training supplemented by regular visits to the gym. Her time spent in the field gives her a light-tan skin tone. She keeps her jet-black hair in a short cut with side-swept bangs. Her eyes a deep and dark brown, with light freckles across her cheeks and nose. She typically wears a tailored and sharply pressed long sleeved button-down black long-coat that gives her an authoritative and militaristic image complete with matching black trousers, shining black boots, and white gloves. She typically has her 'cover' or hat nearby, but only wears it when outside. On her chest, she wears an special badge that resembles her Emblem. She is constantly armed, her rifle always slung on her back. Her handgun and knife holstered and sheathed on a belt along with various pouches of ammunition.

-Collapses- Finally home after another 9+ hour drive e.e; Expect my activity to return to its normal pace.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

A lot of foul, crude and simple language peppered into nearly everything we say? Yep. I liked Generation Kill but I think it's not the most accurate representation of us nowadays.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Very valid points.

<Snipped quote by Prince of Seraphs> When the devil finished, Johnny said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son. "But sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done." <Snipped quote by Prince of Seraphs> Huh. Learn something new everyday. EDIT: Because I don't want to double post. I have come to the conclusion I took the Unsubtle's personality too far. This is not what a marine sounds like, not in such a calm environment as a classroom. What I wrote IC sounds like a 12 to 14 year old gamer trying to sound hardcore. I did think about changing what I wrote but then I got a far better idea. She is currently only a year old or so at best. Because it is a machine we are talking about years do not translate 1:1 but still, she's young. Now building a tank is neither simple nor cheap. Marcus had to cut corners somewhere so he built the Unsubtle in a chopshop in a run down corner of the kingdom. Remember that his 'family' did not really condone his activities and gave him marginal support at best. That is basically where she 'grew up' if you will. Next door to the shop there were a couple of bored pre teens playing the Remnant version of CoD, and that is really where she learned most of her languages from. Marcus is not exactly stellar at conversations even at things that don't usually talk back. Ergo all of these curses are just Unsubtle repeating stuff she heard with little to no regard for context or meaning. All she knows is that they're thing to say when you're angry... or scared. As a tank, she is pretty much okay with killing and violence, that is her purpose after all. However this ties back to the subplot I had about Marcus' family. Marcus got some praise in his early years before it was expected to kill at least one reisen before breakfast etcetera. Unsubtle does not have that positive base to work from. All she has ever known is people looking down on her or indifference. All this positive attention is completely new and smells like a ruse. Beacon is some strange new place full of bright lights and people getting close and complimenting her and poking around underneath the engine cover and whatnot. The whole experience is utterly terrifying to the poor thing. This fear plus the apex predator instincts result in her attacking in the only way she can at the moment, namely violent swearing. It is like a dog baring it's teeth and growling, or a cat raising it's hackles.

@Agent B52

...Do you want to know what a Marine sounds like?...xD By the way, hello everyone from Georgia! Fuckin' 9+ hours of straight driving. And still a fuck ton more ahead of us...;_;
