Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Smith, that plan of action is fine for me, but I wouldn't complain if you let it pass unwritten.

I would apologise but the end result is really cool! The weapon looks really awesome and even better than the original (mainly because you made the blade into more of a katana). I really like the scarf, no idea why! I might reference that IC. Also, I never thought about it but Rayna probably would have some sort of mechanised armour, being from an Atlas military background! A small request though. Is there some way you could make her more petite? A big part of her appearance is that she doesn't look like a warrior whatsoever! If you can't though, no worries! Also, an incredibly small quirk but can you make her eyebrows dark? I don't know how I even notice things like that >.> I feel so demanding.

@NarcissisticPotato

I don't really know about how to make her look like less of a warrior. Removing the armor would be pretty easy, and changing the eyebrows is drop-dead easy, but to change the size I would have to go through and edit each part's size individually, then put the disjointed figure back together. Every element that derives from her military background would clash with this theme of not appearing to be a warrior; it seems like a paradox. Might I ask where this theme of not looking like a warrior originates, so that I might better be able to incorporate it? Thanks for the weapon feedback, it was quite fun. I tried to put in the little dust canister and cord.

Algernon Fullbuster

Name: Algernon Fullbuster Age: 47 Gender: Male Race: Human Weapon: The underside of Algernon's watch is a dart-shooter. It reacts to the muscles in his wrist; if he extend his palm, the darts will fire. While the normal darts are coated in sedative and are not very harmful, he owns special dust-packaged darts that can exert quite the elemental effect on their target. One of the items in his duffel bag, aside from various folders, binders, and papers, is a boxlike device called the Onager. If Algernon puts his right hand into the slot and plugs it in, the box unfolds into a mortar that rests on his shoulder when in use—siege mode. In siege mode, Onager fires volatile bombs in a big arc, perfect for large, slow-moving targets. In the default storage mode, Onager is much safer. Specialty: Algernon detests physical combat, believing it to be below his station as a professor. In rare situations of combat, Algernon's chief strategy is keep-away: the art of running and shooting. It is an uninspiring, though effective and safe, style of fighting. He'll often employ his wits in combination with his dart-shooter and Onager, effectively classifying him as a gunslinger/scout. Of course, as a teacher he rarely gets involved in fighting scenarios. Semblance: Drowse Algernon can put people to sleep—and not just with his lectures about calculus. If he yawns, everyone in a radius around him will instantly succumb to slumber, and if he stifles that yawn, he puts himself to sleep. While not effective at all in a wide-awake combat situation, Algernon still sees his unique little power as useful. Personality: If it weren't 'Henry', 'methodical' would be Algernon's middle name. Slow, cautious, thorough, and even boring, he always makes sure that both he and his students have a firm grasp of whatever comes their way and are prepared for what's next. He is a pacifist that prefers not to fight, but understands all too well the necessity of warfare. While not the most outgoing, he generally likes to help and enjoys forming teacher-student relationships with those attending beacon. Algy is pretty pragmatic and not overgiven to sentimentality, knowing that the overemotional response can often be the wrong one. That didn't stop him from marrying the girl of his dreams, though, but exactly who his wife is he keeps a playful secret from the students—the only hint is that she is another teacher at Beacon. Color: Amber Emblem: Appearance:

Rayna proved to be the trickiest one so far. I wanted to get her kinda facing sideways, but I pretty much failed. Her weapon was the most complicated yet, you wouldn't believe how hard it is to make an owl in my program, and accidentally erasing my progress halfway through didn't help. You are entitled to a free redo as usual, Narc.

Dungeon Keepers (This one's done. Go to The Horde of Evil instead)

That's good to hear. I hope your new RP is going successfully.

@BBeast

It most certainly is! Very exciting, and with twenty-four players, it's a lot to keep track of.

Dungeon Keepers (This one's done. Go to The Horde of Evil instead)

Hi there! Sorry, I've been too focused on my new roleplay. Don't worry; the Flesh won't be forgotten so easily.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Kaithas and Krayzikk, I'll add you two to the waiting list. Check out the document in my signature and become familiarized with some of the stuff. If you two, Cirus, and Narayan agree to request the creation of a seventh team, I will make it for you, and all four of you will get in at once! Start brainstorming your characters, fellas.

And I'm back. Sorry stuff happened, what did I miss?

@XNoBrainX

There's about two hours left before the window for posting sparring matches closes. There were some edits that Tear wanted to discuss with you before posting the fight. Please check in with her.

@Everyone

In addition to the whole teachers deal, I'm adding something new to the 'to-do list'. Basically, since we do our chatting in the OOC thread, I'm converting the disused chat section of the document into an introductions zone. We all know each others' characters now, but do we really know one another? If you want to contribute to that communal spirit, please consider partaking in this optional task by jotting down a succinct entry.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Some very nice work, Narayan! If anyone wants to use his pictures rather than the ones I've made, please feel free. Of course, I'll have to step up my game a little.

Hello everyone! It has dawned on me that I don't do a lot of OOC posting in comparison to most. This deserves an explanation. It is mainly because if I feel I have little to contribute I just don't post! So please don't confuse my lack of posting with lack of reading or interest! :) This has been a PSA from Fazz-Tech approved by CEO McFazzer

@McFazzer

Would never dream of it.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Hmm. Hmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnn. Still open?

@CirusArvennicus

I'm afraid we're all full, but I'll put you into the waiting list. If we get another two people in the waiting list I might make another full team.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

I should apologize for being spotty lately. Been dealing with some mental and emotional things as of late that has literally just made me want to crash in bed for the entirety of the day doing pretty much nothing. Getting that dealt with... soon... maybe... hopefully. >_> Anyway, dunno when to expect mine and Skyrte's spar, but hopefully that's not too long into the future if I don't hold us up any longer. Meh. Also, dayam. If we lose a member in JRVR, we're nabbing Narayan for ourselves. Back, the lot o' ya'! *Fetches the pitchfork and torches* Fiends, away with you.

@Sixsmith

Any irregularities are completely forgiven, since you've dropped by to let us know. Real life comes first, for sure. I'm afraid I cannot truly sympathize with what you're going through (suffering only from OCD and maybe ADHD myself) but I offer you my best wishes. Don't worry too much about the sparring match. If you've not started by this point, I would not recommend doing so unless you're the kind of person to cram before a test: there's only one day left before the deadline and we move on to the next class, according to the schedule. I will be posting Algernon Fullbuster's updated sheet shortly, and I will be playing him myself. I hope to see some teacher sheets from you lot in the future.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

What happens after our fight? I keep hearing of people going "on field".

@Sho Minazuki

I don't know about 'on field' but in the immediate, the players can still interact with one another in the bleachers, as well as Paron and Sarina. After all the fights, we head to the next period.
