RWBY: Deep Blue

Gerald laid down on the bench at the top deck of the airship, his eyes closed, his hair fluttering wildly due to the wind, completely asleep and his guns in a two second reach. A part of him still believed that he would wake up and discover that his entire journey so far had been a dream, but as of yet that had yet to happen.

He had done it. He was actually going to Beacon. His lifelong dream, thought to be out of reach for so long, was finally occurring. Granted, he wasn't completely finished yet and going to Beacon was still just a part of a greater goal of becoming a hunter, but still, he had done pretty well for guy who was dodging cops a month ago, right? As such, savouring his successes and reflecting on all that had happened in his life so far, he continued his napping on the top of the airship.

Oh, the skype is for everyone?

I've changed the name to Disturbed Tranquil Lake. The name is meant to be like a chinese martial arts move, and the reason for it has to do with Gerald's past. I hope that that name would be short enough.

Other than that, thank you very much!

RWBY: Deep Blue

I changed Gerald to have a semblance that is more in line with his heritage. It will more or less be completely useless to him in battle unless he starts fighting desperately and wildly.

As for the ice bayonet, no, it does not shoot out. It simply forms a bayonet at the edge of Anwarter, giving him a melee option.

RWBY: Deep Blue

Name: Gerald Tarius (Real name: Alexander Lexus)

Nickname: None

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance:

Gerald Tarius

Personality: Gerald is a pragmatist who has one simple code: He will do anything to maintain his status quo of freedom and standard of living. Helping anyone or anything takes a back seat to that and he will only go out to help someone if it does not threaten him - or his team - first. He has knowledge of living and making one's way on the streets due to his past, and he is quick to come to suspicion on any new information - naive people didn't last long where he came from.

Normally, Gerald puts on a playful mood to make the best of his situation, but deep inside he has a feeling of discomfort and uneasiness at his surroundings, not used to the clean atmosphere of Beacon,

Weapons:

Anwarter

a handheld gun that looks abnormally large, it utilizes two types of ammunition: Red dust, which causes an explosion at the target, and Blue dust, which when fired forms a bayonet of ice and serves as his close range weapon. The bullets are stored in a revolver-style chamber that holds 6 rounds, and Gerald utilizes a Russian Roulette style of combat with his weapon, always mixing up the order of bullets he loads Anwarter in so that only he knows whether or not the next shot will fire an explosion or a close range weapon for him to use. Blue dust bayonets are dispelled with his next shot.

SchnellFeur

A smaller handheld gun which, unlike Anwarter is rapid firing. SchnellFeur only uses a single type of dust as ammunition and serves as Gerald's general weapon, used to suppress and/or eliminate lightly armoured enemies. Gerald is able to wield SchnellFeur with his left hand.

Semblance:

Disturbed Tranquil Lake

A passive effect, every one of Gerald's physical strikes is capable of using his gathered aura to disturb the enemy's, damaging and interfering with their Aura and any Aura related ability. The more strikes Gerald lands, the harder and harder it is to use one's semblance.

Gerald knows this is his semblance, but he never utilizes it due to it being completely incompatible with his fighting style.

Strengths:

unpredictability

Gerald is skilled at pulling surprises on the enemy, with a three pronged layer of deception: First, his concealment of his weapons with his longcoat, and with that being seen through Gerald can conceal whether or not he will first pull out Anwarter or Schnellfeur. Finally, his greatest asset towards combat unpredictability is the Russian Roulette style of Anwarter, which forces his opponent to constantly guess whether Gerald will use the red or blue dust next.

jack of all trades

With the Red dust and Blue Dust, Gerald is able to adapt his combat style to suit either precision close combat to deal with skilled opponents or long range heavy hitting to battle against larger Grimm, whichever style suits his needs. However, unlike specialized warriors Gerald lacks semblances and/or specially designed weapons to excel at a single role.

Combat Pragmatist

Forget sword stances and techniques, forget the proper way to grasp a shield and hold a rifle - Gerald's combat skills and techniques were all learned from one simple and brutally true philosophy: The Best Techniques are passed down from the victors. As such, although many people would find Gerald's combat techniques atrocious or dismiss them as clumsy or crude Gerald does not follow any traditional school of combat - he follows his own techniques of "use any dirty trick to win," even if such tricks included feigning surrender and other "dishonourable" and "cowardly" tactics.

Underground Contacts

Gerald still has contacts in the underground who are still willing to do him favours after he either broke their people out of prison or erased some compromising information on them. However, the value of these contacts are in question as the underground is aware that Gerald is trying to get his life onto a different track.

Weaknesses:

Lack of Specialty

The same principle as Jack of All trades, being able to do everything means he excels at nothing. Gerald cannot beat anyone in close up combat, nor can he outshoot or outsmash anyone.

Set Patterns

Although Anwarter is based on a value of unpredictability, this comes at the cost of utility in the form of it's loading system - to reload quickly in the heat of combat, like Yang's gauntlets Anwarter reloads through a chain of rounds that Gerald configures the bullet order of prior to a battle. As such, although Gerald is able to mix and match to create new combinations of Red bullets and Blue bullets every battle having Gerald wish that his next bullet was a red bullet when he must fire a blue bullet next is a frequent occurence.

Teamwork? What

Because he mostly worked alone or exclusively with gangs of hired thugs prior to coming to Beacon, Gerald has absolutely zero idea what it means to fight in a team. He had always been fine working alone, and - let's be honest - the thugs were much too incompetent to do anything like proper coordination.

RWBY: Deep Blue

Are there any spots left?

The Heroes of Beacon

The Irish Tree said
Sorry to say, I can't really see a position for a player-made villain in this. So, I'd have to say no to an antagonist PC.

I understand. I will wait patiently until a student spot opens up.

The Heroes of Beacon

Hmm... I see.

I would actually prefer the street rat and potential villain position/character though

The Heroes of Beacon

Hello everyone

A few weeks back I asked about joining this RP, but all the Beacon spots were apparently full and me joining at the time would unbalance the made four-man teams.

I'm back again to ask if I could join the RP, but not as a beacon student but instead as an independant character - probably a thief/street rat/mercenary villain character who would either be working with or against Beacon students as the situation demands.

Digimon: The Rise of the Forsaken RP!

Having retrieved her belongings from under her bed and following the group towards the Digimon Village, Annabeth found herself amazed at all the little tanemon moving around. Previously, she could definitely have dismissed her situation as some sort of elaborate prank, but there was no faking this.

Reaching down, she knelt down and pet one of the Tanemon, who snuggled against her hand. Annabeth stared at the digimon with a mixture of wonder and fascination, and the two remained like that for a few moments. However, before she knew it there was another digimon snuggling against her legs.

Turning, she saw what appeared to be some sort of puppy with flap years and a ring around its neck. The puppy stared happily right at Annabeth, and she in turn knelt down to get a little closer to it.

"You came! You really came!" The puppy cried out in joy. "My very own tamer!"

Annabeth was silent for a moment then took out her digivice.

"...Salamon?" Annabeth finally asked, looking at the name displayed by the digivice.

"That's me!" Salamon said happily. "What's your name?"

"I'm Annabeth." she said, still a bit fazed at all of the things happening. "So you're my 'partner digimon'?"

"Of course!" Salamon nodded. "Annabeth, would you pet me like you did for that Tanemon? That looked really comfortable!" Answering her digimon's request, Annabeth slowly pat her head on Salamon's head before petting the digimon, causing it to close its eyes and wag her tail happily. Seeing this, Annabeth also formed a small smile of her own. Maybe things weren't really all that bad after all.
