Just replied to the CS! I'm also thinking about making a post to fly us back to the Committee base so we can progress everything and get everyone a fresh set of inspiration haha

The Marauders

Happy new year!!!! Here's to a great year for all of you!

@Pyromania99

Hahaha well we like respect and dedication as much as anyone else, so if you leave without saying anything it's not cool, especially if you post to other things. I'm sure we are all very guilty of this but when asked and we don't get an answer, we can be merciless hahaha

I promise I'll be back to writing posts soon, it's just that time of year for family and all that stuff!

The Marauders

I've been on a little break while visiting family. My step brother got a couple days of leave from the Army, and I haven't seen him in a very long time, so I've been spending time with him. I'm really sorry I didn't say anything, it was kinda a short notice for the family!

And honestly I've been waiting for a couple other people to post, like getting Kronshi introduced and Marx to wake up and for the whole interrogation thing. It's still the holidays so I expect the site to be slow for a little bit. @Akayaofthemoon and I have a plot in mind after this, and it should be really fun to play around with!

The Marauders

Hopefully people haven't lost interest in this RP! @Akayaofthemoon and I thought of a really great way to kick things up, I don't wanna give away too much, but it'll involve being trapped on the planet, and fighting traps and outsmarting people who have become obsessed with the Marauders... More details soon!

But @Kronshi If you wanna make a post of coming towards the ship, @DeathXtheXTree can get a message from the Committee up in the Main Deck and get informed of a ship making their way towards their location to drop off a new member! It'll give the rest of the crew members things to do while Shasoon is being saved and Pip is being interrogated!

And I'm sorry for my lack of activity, I gotta still do the collab post with @boomlover (which has been my fault for my unavailability),

and most importantly, (if I don't get the chance to tomorrow or the day after tomorrow) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!!

Robin Hood (EasilyAmused & Jones Sparrow)

Robert moved his gaze towards the game as Marian thought of something to dare him to. He seemed to be a bit too overconfident. This was a ballpark after all, one of the oldest. There would be a lot of nasty things in this stadium that she could dare him to do, but he was here with the woman of his dreams at a ball game, having an amazing time, and he had a feeling Marian was too. When he looked back to Marian his expression frowned a bit as she dumped the popcorn in the beer, shook it up, and tossed the back on his lap. The sound of eating popcorn wasn't a very appetizing, but then again, this wasn't all tooo bad... "Oh I can eat two handfuls. You forget I was homeless for a little while. I've eaten much worse." Robert half bluffed, looking down at the bag. he put his hand into popcorn, retrieving some soggy, dissolving popcorn covered in beer, and popped some in his mouth. He could hear the people around them laughing for shaking their heads in disgust at the scene. Robert struggled to swallow the first handful, but he managed to give her a weak grin as he reached for the second round.

Beer by itself was delicious. Popcorn by itself was also delicious. But both of them combined left a weird, gross texture and taste in your mouth. Robert Locksley was not a fan of beer covered popcorn. After a few seconds of chewing and trying to get the taste out of his mind he finally managed to swallow the last of it, giving a shudder and look of disgust. "Truth... Or Dare...?" Robert managed to say, wondering if they sold gum at ball games. he needed to get this taste out of his mouth! He couldn't have the smallest possible chance of getting a goodnight kiss out of this not date later if his breath reeked of the worst combination of ballpark food ever!

RWBY: The Last Dawn

Todd Reynolds
Beacon Cliffs

"Here! Todd Reynolds is absolutely here and totally not! late!" The dark man made a dead sprint towards the remaining crowd near the Beacon Cliffs, desperately trying to shove his hand into a sea themed gauntlet. Todd was really pushing his luck. Not only did he barely make it to initiation yesterday, he forgot to put an alarm for this morning, and was running late for the real initiation! Todd managed to throw on a blue hoodie with the sleeves cut off, the necklace with the red coral around his neck, some beige shorts and worn sneakers. Over his casual clothes were sea themed leather gauntlets with a matching leather chest plate, and strapped to the holster on his back was a very unimipressive fishing harpoon. Sure it made a few of the students he walked by chuckle, but he knew the weapon's true power. In real combat the harpoon turns into a great Trident that holds great power! It was the pride of his small town of Caiter. But the weapon prefers to humble itself, becoming a tool that is used by a hard working and dedicated person. Ever since Todd's father died he was that man. The weapon chose him, and he will use its power to become a hunter and protect the world from this fear!

But he can't do that when he's late! He arrived at the crowd, doubling over and holding up a thumbs up. "Alright.... I'm good... What did I miss?" A few of the students snickered at his direction, making him run a hand through his jet black hair in embarrassment. Profesor Ozpin gave a humored smile at the young man, and repeated the instructions. As he talked Todd looked out into the vast amount of trees. The Emerald Forest. Get the crystal, fight your way out. Got it.

"So, uh how do we get down there? Some sort of elevator or someth-- WHOOOAAAAAAAA!!!! Todd was launched into the air with a few other students, and as someone who spent his whole life on the sea and beach, heights weren't his favorite thing. His dark green eyes scanned desperately for which way was up, and what was down. Maybe Litore could help him! He tumbled in the air, trying to pull his weapon out from his back, but suddenly the blurred images stopped immediately, and a large thump hit his head. After seeing nothing but stars for a second, he had got his bearings and came with the conclusion that he was hanging in mid air.

The tip of the Harpoon's blade was wedged into a massive tree trunk, suspending Todd from his back at a sickening height. "Alright... A graceful entrance..." Todd looked upwards to the harpoon's blade, and frowned. With a bit of effort Todd managed to slide the weapon out of the back holster, and grabbed on the shaft, hanging from it. He pulled himself up onto the harpoon, planted his feet on the trunk of the tree so that he was parallel with the ground, and tried to yank Litore out of the tree. "Come on, don't do this to me... We are sitting ducks out here!" Todd muttered, pulling even harder on the harpoon. When he was finally successful at pulling his weapon out of the tree, he immediately started to scream as they were now falling towards the ground yet again.

Todd managed to landed on a thick branch, moving his arms frantically trying to keep balance, which he failed at. The second branch he hit wasn't as kind. He landed hard on the branch, his crotch making contact. He gave a weak whimper as he slid off the branch, but the third one he managed to grab on to by his chest. He gave a sigh of relief as the pain started to melt away, but his eyes shot back open when he heard a crack. The branch broke off, and once again Todd went tumbling through the sky.

The green eyed man didn't die from this fall, probably because his fall was cushioned by someone else's body. He gave a groan of pain, and was immediately pushed off of someone. He struggled to his feet, his fishing harpoon in hand, holding the side of his head. "Sorry about that, I uh, not that good at flying." Todd said, looking at the figure he landed on.

She had long dark hair, a very deadly looking sword, and her glare was just as deadly as the sword. He couldn't really blame the girl. Not many people were happy when someone falls on them from the sky. Especially when that person has just become your partner for the next four years in this academy. "I'm Todd. Todd Reynolds." The boy's voice was strong and confident, an apologetic grin on his face.

Boom and I will be trying to get a Collab post up sometime soon!

Nightwing: The New Knight(EasilyAmused and Jones Sparrow)

Dick didn't talk much as he watched the blonde talk, and describe just exactly she had planned. She clearly has had time to think about all of this in the solitude of her hospital bed for quite some time... And Dick was very unsure about this. "What you're asking us is to let you join a major crime organization so you can try and kill your father's most trusted men and women." Nightwing said flatly, Robin also shifted a bit. "This is pretty hard to believe, Miss Dent. And I know we are under new management and all, but we still don't like people getting themselves in danger for something that we can eventually do." Robin said with a softer tone in his voice, looking at Dick.

Is this how Bruce felt so many times? Is this how he felt when he picked up the newly orphaned kid on the streets, where he taught him so much more than just fighting? He still remembered the look on Bruce's face when he found out his secret identity so long ago... Why did Bruce Wayne put so much faith and trust into Dick Grayson, and all the others he took under his wing? Staring at Abbie right now, he couldn't help but keep these thoughts out of his head. What if he said yes? How long would it be until she was killed, or seriously injured because Nightwing signed her death sentence right here and now? What if she was just playing them, and working for Two-Face right now?

But he remembered the first time he met Abbie. How she stumbled for her words. He remembered the party, playing pool in the Manor, and the kiss they shared just earlier tonight... "If you want to do this, you work on our terms." Nightwing said. "No killing. You find anything ground breaking, you tell us. You get in too much trouble, you find us. If you're lying to us, we will find out, and we have had very bad history with liars."

"And before anything... Think about just what you're doing. Once you start this, you will be an enemy to Gotham. The police won't be easy to you if they see your face. Your reputation, everything you've worked hard for in your life is over. There won't be going back." Nightwing's voice almost broke, but he kept his composure.

"Wait." Barbara said in both of their ears. "We can't possibly do this. Does she even know how to defend herself?"

"Oh she knows how to do that..." Nightwing said under his breath. "But how much does she know?" Tim asked, looking at his friend. "Maybe we should--"

"No."

"Miss Dent, if you are really set on doing this, then you should get proper training. You know, with the big leagues. Luckily for you, Batman's most skilled and best student is standing in front of you." Robin said, not talking about himself. Nightwing glared at the man with venom. Were they seriously going to say that they are going to train her to fight?

RWBY: The Last Dawn

"If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean and told the nearest land was a thousand miles away, I'd still swim. And I'd despise the one who gave up."

Name: Todd Reynolds

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance: Todd is 6 foot tall, and has the body of a swimmer. He spent most of his childhood on the beach. He's lean and toned from swimming and repairing boats. His skin is a dark bronze from his time in the sun. His sea green eyes are greener than anyone has ever seen, his dark colored hair is wind swept in a perfectly (yet messy) fashion. He usually wears a simple blue hoodie, beige shorts, and worn black skater shoes. His most surprised possession (besides his weapon) is a necklace with a small piece of blue coral on it. When in combat he wears gauntlets that look like seashells, a leather chest plate

Weapon Name: Litore

Weapon Appearance/Function:

Type: Melee, semi-range, defensive, dust tips

Weapon Derivation: Trident (and fishing harpoon)

Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Todd has a holster strapped on his back to keep his weapon, when holstered it is in the form of an old fishing harpoon.

Form 1: Litore's first form is an old rusty fishing harpoon. The weapon from his town usually takes this form to humble itself. It is, in its simplest form, a tool. The town's most skilled fisherman would use this weapon for providing for its family, and to produce hard work for rewards. In this form it can be a weapon, but it is used for protection and defense, its blade too dull and rusted to do any major damage

Form 2: Its true form, Litore can become a majestic trident with perfect weight, and razor sharp blades. Along with this form, the tips of the trident's blades can produce high pressured jets of water that can stun an enemy for a very short time, enough time for the user to get into close quarters.

Personality: Todd is extremely loyal, headstrong, and brave. Like the ocean, his mood can shift very quickly depending on the mood. Most of the time he is calm, merciful, and gives utmost respect. Other instances he can be cruel, unforgiving, and relentless. He is very carefree, a child at heart, someone who won't take no for an answer, and loves a good pun.

History: I grew up in a small coastal town called Caister, on the North Eastern side of Vale. Most of the families here were fishermen, hardworking sea-weathered men and woman working hard to get food on the table, and selling food and exotic items that wash onshore... I spent my early childhood playing with the kids on the beach, or helping my parents with their jobs. We were a bit different than the other families. our profession weren't fishermen. My mom fixed boats that made it to shore or just needed repair. My father joined the wealthiest family's crew and helped fish for long speared shrimp (deadly, but delicious!), and was also in charge of fighting off the Grimm. He kept both the coast and beaches clear of the monstrous creatures... Many kids my age would want to stay clear from those monsters, and believe me, I did too... But I wanted to stop the Grimm from hurting anyone I knew. I had the Warrior's spirit.

years passed, and I was helping both my mother during the day with boats, and then learning to fight with my father. I used an old fishing harpoon for training. It was hard, the old harpoon gave me splinters, but I never stopped. When I wasn't working, I was playing on the beautiful beaches. On my 17th birthday my father told me the story about how Caister was founded.

A long time ago there was a ship making its way across the ocean to reach Vale, holding the bravest and most noble crew that ever sailed the seas. The ship had smooth sailing until they were attacked by a large sea beast, and hundreds of smaller ones. The ship survived for two full days. The willpower and leadership of the Captain kept them afloat for so long, until finally the ship was sunk... But the God of the Sea took pity on the Captain. He spared him and took him to the closest shore. He admired his bravery and warrior spirit, and rewarded him with not only his life, but a weapon of the God's creation.

The captain took the weapon with pride, and used it to defend him and the other few survivors, creating a settlement, banding together... Years later the Captain turned to an old man, but had one more duty to fulfill. He set out onto the ocean once more, and met the giant beast that took his ship and crew mates so long ago. With the help of the legendary weapon, the monster was slain, and the Captain made it back to shore, passing away peacefully, and passing the weapon down to his son, one who had the same warrior's spirit in him. No one knows what happened to the legendary Trident... After that story he gave me the old harpoon I trained with for so many years, and he informed me that THAT was the legendary weapon Litore.. I was not sold on that. That night was also the night where the Grimm attacked.

Everyone who knew how to fight went to battle, attacking the nightmarish beasts. I was afraid, but didn't hesitate to fight, even with his worn harpoon. The battle felt like it was only a matter of seconds, but that's when I saw my father die. A hideous beast slashed him across the chest. I screamed in agony, and pain. My worst fear coming to life. I charged at the beast, yelling with all my might.

The next thing I know I was standing over the aftermath of the battle, the people I've known my whole life staring at me in awe. In my hand was a magnificent trident that seemed to glow in the moonlight. I held Litore. I became in charge of the town's security for a couple months, learning how to use Litore, but the heartache of my father's passing haunted me. I wanted to do more. I didn't want anyone to feel this kind of pain. My mom knew I didn't want to be here either. I was a warrior. And so my mom told me of the Beacon Academy, a place where I can train, and become the protector of light.

So I started my journey to become a Hunter. Traveling by foot for the most part, but then hitching a ride on a train to the infamous Academy, eager to avenge my dad, to make Caister and my mom proud, and to protect those who can't themselves.

Emblem:

This is the emblem that was shown on the flag on top of his family's home in Caister. His family's emblem, and he will wear it with pride!

Other:

Color: Sea Green

Combat Style: Todd's fighting style is like the ocean. He can be very flexible in combat style, but prefers to have his opponents strike first. Although he prefers that style of fighting, there are times where he will fight with unrelentless fury. He is a close quarters to mid range fighter, but can strike enemies from afar with a jet of water.

Strengths and Weaknesses:

Strengths: Adaptable, able to go with the flow. His mid range fighting style and years of hard work as a sailor has kept him at peak strength and flexibility. He is cunning, and due to his defensive fighting style and years out on the unpredictable sea, he has an act of figuring out a quick way to solve a problem.

Weaknesses: Can be too loyal to his team mates, and friends. He can be blinded by rage as well (like witnessing a death of an innocent). Although he can shoot jets of water, it doesn't do serious damage, so he is not fit for long range combat, and has no long range defense.

Semblance: Due to the warrior's spirit, Litore has a link with Todd and when the crystallized tip at the end of the Trident is dug into the ground, the Earth erupts with large amounts of water, sending a large tidal wave forward and surrounding his enemy. The impact of the force is devastating, eroding everything in the terrain, but only lasts a couple seconds. He has never successfully used it before, he only knows about this ability from the stories of his town.
