Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

Maddox shrugged his shoulders after Master Jamie continued explaining the situation at hand. In his opinion, he could retrieve the book by himself with the Council being none the wiser. But it would seem that Jamie wanted to do more than just retrieve the book. The mention of dark mages earned a slight twitch from the red-haired mage, but otherwise Maddox seemed disinterested in the plan. On the inside, however, he wanted to perform this mission immediately. Retrieving the book for Wes's sake would be easy and almost dull. But confronting the corruption in the Magic Council... something like that hit a little closer to home for Maddox.

As the crowd dispersed, Maddox sat down at the bar. He pulled an ashtray over the counter to be closer to himself as he withdrew a cigarette with his other hand. Only after lighting his smoke with a similar trick as he did earlier did he notice Sasha sit down only two seats away. Soon afterwards, a new face struck up conversation with her. Considering the two new people that just joined this day, it wasn't a surprise that there were people he was yet to meet that joined while he was away. After taking a drag and blowing out the smoke, Maddox rotated to face Sasha and Mayt. "Long time no see," he greeted Sasha, before looking past her to Mayt on the other side. "You must've joined while I was out working. The name's Maddox." With that, Maddox pretended to tip an imaginary hat before taking a drag on his cigarette again. "By the way..."

Maddox blew his smoke out away from Sasha and Mayt, before returning his red eyes back towards them. "You were the one that thinks Master Jamie's idea sucks." He removed the cigarette from his mouth and held it a few inches away from his face. "I'm not going to criticize you for thinking differently than the rest of us. But I must know something... What would you do in Jamie's position with that knowledge?" Out of context that could be taken somewhat offensively. But Maddox had a genuinely curious tone to his words. After a brief pause, he smiled and chuckled to himself. "Sorry about that. I ask strange questions sometimes. Anyways, how've you been Sasha? This your boyfriend or was that Lazarus?" With his final words he chuckled again and put the cigarette back in his mouth. He and Sasha had joined Phoenix Wing around the same time, but Maddox had slight seniority. With that history in mind, he couldn't resist a bit of teasing.

The red-haired mage closed his eyes and shook his head. Leaning against the bar, he had a clear view of everyone in the room. "Mayt," his voice spoke up, carrying over the others after Minerva finished speaking. "We're not risking anyone." Maddox opened his eyes and looked over at Damien first. He took the second of silence to memorize his face. Then his gaze swept over the rest of the guild. "We're just taking the first step to getting our friend back." With that, Maddox stood up straight and walked through the crowded hall to the front by Jamie. "I wasn't here when Wes disappeared, but I already know that it is likely the Council has the key to our success in getting him back."

"For that reason, I volunteer to get the book. There's no need for violence or confronting the Magic Council." Maddox looked over at Minerva and then Damien. Then he looked back to the bar at James. The other three people to so far volunteer. "The four of us is far more than enough," he added, before looking to the master. "We can leave immediately. There's no need to waste time deciding who will do what or whether or not it's even a good idea." Now Maddox looked back across the guild hall at everyone there. "We can have the book here in ten minutes if nobody else feels like speaking up."

RWBY - Return to Niflheim

I'm totally up for this.

Mah Character

Name- Crash

Age- 19

Species- Human

Aura Color- Sapphire

Semblance- Dust Anisotropy - The ability to "magnetically" attract or repel Dust in its powder or crystal forms. This also allows the remote activation of Dust, as the Semblance serves as a conduit for Crash's Aura. However, it does not allow manipulation of Dust that has already been used, such as Dust bullets that have already been fired.

Weapon- Ova - A partially-hollowed steel ball that is filled with explosive powder Red Dust. A clever mechanism just under the surface allows small pockets of the Dust to settle just under the surface but separate from the much larger center, where the dust is mostly stored. Ova is designed to be thrown by Crash, who seems to be the only one capable of safely handling it due to its volatile nature and low impact threshold. Upon impacting any surface with sufficient force (a relatively low force), the pockets of Red Dust will detonate thanks to Crash's Semblance and then refill themselves from the central deposit thanks to the mechanism. This tiny explosion will make the impact cause extra damage and propel Ova with even more force than before. With each successive blast, Ova will go faster and hit harder. The most effective environment to use this in is indoors where the fight can be enclosed and Ova can have many surfaces to "bounce" off of. In a wide-open area, Ova loses most of its power. Though obstacles such as trees and buildings can partially compensate for this. As Dust is consumed upon each impact, Ova needs to be reloaded occasionally. The mechanism that allows the Red Dust to enter the near-surface pockets can be deactivated when not in combat to prevent any accidental detonations.

Other Equipment- Dust Crystal Container - A black, metal container approximately the size of a large textbook (which it strongly resembles and is often mistaken for at a glance). It is broken into several sections, each containing several Dust Crystals of a specific kind. Thus they are categorized and separated, allowing quick and easy access. Each section has a small contraption that will spring out a single Dust Crystal when activated. The container is sturdy enough to withstand rapid movements and tough impacts without harming or detonating its contents. The Dust inside includes: red (fire), blue (water), cyan (ice), green (wind), purple (energy), yellow (lightning), and orange (earth).

Red Powder Dust Flask - A black, metal flask filled with Red Dust in powder form. Used for reloading Ova, or in emergencies the Dust can be used offensively. Impact and heat resistant. Not particularly large, as it contains only enough powder to refill Ova twice, at most.

History- Born to a nomadic tribe that dared traverse the Vytal continent, the boy was given his name Crash after his father accidentally knocked over a tent the day after he was born. The belief that he would turn out clumsy like his father didn't entirely come true. However, his destructive nature may have stemmed from the interesting naming choice. The harsh nature of nomadic life didn't spare Crash. He was exposed to Grimm at a young age and was expected to combat them like the other men. Once he was of age, of course.

But until then he was trained. His father, Distal, taught him how to get strong and how to fight with basic weapons. Due to the reclusive nature of the tribe, they lacked the technology to create more powerful weapons. However, as a compensation of such, they had been using raw Dust to fight in dire situations. An archaic and rare form of combat, but a powerful one. Like the rest of the warriors, Crash was trained in the art. While he was acceptable in physical combat, enough so to combat his father at only thirteen years old, it was the use of Dust that made him stand out the most. His skill and control surpassed even the elders. Around the time he began training in using Dust he discovered his Semblance, which the rest of the tribe believes is the reason his use of raw Dust exceeds the other warriors' abilities.

At fourteen he was finally allowed to hunt and fight Grimm alongside the adults. They did little to terrify him, as he grew up under their threat. In fact, he proved himself to be a rather strong fighter. Though it also became apparent that Crash was still inexperienced, despite his skill. More so in his judgments than his fighting. But over time, the experience came to him. Despite his rather humble lifestyle, being that nomads didn't have any luxury or convenience, Crash turned out to have a rather energetic personality that sharply contrasted with the rest of the tribe. The generally somber nature of the tribe made him stand out just by looking. Though his father was the most similar in personality and the two had a tight bond.

At nineteen he was considered the strongest warrior of the nomadic tribe. One day, after packing up a makeshift village following a Grimm attack, the tribe stumbled upon Vale. While the rest of the tribe opted to avoid the Kingdom, as the entire reason they didn't live in such a place was to preserve their old way of life, Crash was curious and ventured into the city. He was fascinated by what he saw, particularly the technology. His education was minimal outside of combat, hunting, and agriculture, so he was relatively unaware of the differences between the kingdoms and the nomadic tribes. Likewise, the locals of Vale were stunned by him and his habits. In all of a day, Crash was heavily influenced by modern lifestyle. It was during this day that he "obtained" his weapon, Ova. He simply grabbed the device from a store after witnessing children playing with a rubber ball, mistaking Ova for such a toy. This is also where he received his clothes as depicted in the picture above. Though, he always had the scarf.

This venture into the city did not please his tribe once he returned to their camp the next day. An Elder claimed that the reason they never settle down in a place like Vale was that such establishments were doomed to be overrun by Grimm eventually. The way of life was to keep moving. Little did the tribe know how accurate the prediction was. When the vast armies of Grimm approached Vale and Beacon, Crash's tribe was still nearby and were able to watch the onslaught from a safe distance. Upon seeing the fleeing airship containing the Beacon survivors, Crash took it upon himself to find the survivors. He demanded the Elders let him leave to assist in their survival, saying it was the courtesy that all men should have toward one another. There was little debate before they decided to let him leave. Distal, his father, told Crash that they would be just fine and that he could follow the stars to find them once he assisted the Beacon survivors. With only the stars to guide him and the direction the ship travelled memorized, Crash set out to find the people on board with the intent to save them.

Personality- As his name suggests, Crash has a rather energetic personality and a bad habit of collateral damage in many of the things he does. Even simple things such as handling dishware. Though he isn't exactly hyper, he has an inability to sit still for extended lengths of time. While he can be considered an imbecile at times, especially due to his lack of formal education, his nomadic lifestyle has granted him a surprising wisdom that can show itself on certain occasions. While he doesn't particularly hate or fear Grimm, he does feel a passion in protecting people. That passion drives him to defeat Grimm, despite his own indifference toward them. Crash loves to make jokes or make things humorous, but his sense of humor is almost never accepted as humor. AKA: he makes bad jokes that he somehow finds amusing. Sociable and expressive, it can be said that with Crash, you either love him for his simplicity or you hate him for his foolishness.

Fighting Style- Crash is a mixed bag when it comes to his fighting style. His physical prowess makes him a threat up close. His rare practice of utilizing raw Dust also makes him dangerous at range. And of course his unique weapon adds even more versatility and unpredictability to his offense. Thanks to those two combat traits, Crash takes a hyper-offensive fighting style, putting little regard to his defense. The keys to his victory lie in his ability to overwhelm foes through the sheer power of his Dust utilization, but he can put up quite the fistfight in a pinch.

Other- Can we get a theme song up in here?

Sho was right. Someone will be mad. XD

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

The red-haired mage let out a sigh of relief as Sho and Minerva took their upcoming fight outdoors. He took one last drag on his cigarette as he looked over at Sasha and Lazarus. The new girl, Riye, had tried to talk with them. But as she gave up and started to head outside, Maddox heard the loud crashing noise. For a moment, he wondered what that could've been. That sounded like a building falling down, he thought to himself with a chuckle. But as he blew out the smoke and flicked the cigarette across the guild hall, landing perfectly in an ashtray on the bar, he realized what it was.

Maddox stood up and adjusted his coat slightly before trudging to the door. Greeting the others had to wait a moment longer. As he stepped outside, his red eyes settled on Sho and Minerva. Then Riye, who seemed to be trying to recruit either of them as a teammate. Then he saw the leveled building nearby. A frown formed on his face as he approached the small group. Once next to them, he crossed his arms and gave both Minerva and Sho a stern gaze. "I said one thing," he announced his presence, closing his eyes and shaking his head. "You realize that damage will have to be compensated by Master Jamie, right?"

He looked over at Riye now. He knew she was innocent, so his gaze wasn't nearly as stern with her. "She won't be pleased. Not very good looking for newcomers, wouldn't you say?" Maddox shook his head again before placing his knuckles to the bridge of his nose. "You two are going to have to pay for that." He opened his red eyes and brought them back to the fighters. "And it would probably be best to do so before Jamie finds out. It will affect his mood, after all. And our reputation." Once again, Maddox stood upright and crossed his arms. "You girl... Riye, I believe I heard, you didn't do anything. So you aren't in trouble."
