Nefarious Prime — Roleplayer Guild

Location: Death Grim Forest – C6

Naomi’s attention was caught by her W.A.T.C.H. beeping, as she inspected the map. From the looks of it, an unpartnered student was heading her way. She had planned on meeting up with Christophe, finding some way to…this student was moving awfully fast. Naomi couldn’t even look behind her when she was practically tackled, and everything blurred.

Fast!

Nnnnoise

Too much!

Cccan’t see, hear, fast noise!

Stop, STOP!

I DON’T LIKE IT

Cccan’t understand,

STOP!!!

Naomi’s ears were ringing, she felt like she was being pulled in every direction, there was hissing and breathing and crunching and hissing and breathing and crunching and it was really fast and she couldn’t breathe and she had to breathe and things were happening way to fast and she wanted to stay and stop and stay still and stop and-

Her breathing slowed, she took her hands off her ears, knuckles white and palms with cuts from her nails. She could see around her now, she was in a different place. She gasped, seeing an unconscious and profusely bleeding girl in front of her. Naomi’s eyes widened in fear, hands wiping her face nervously. “Okay, okay, okay, it’s okay, okay…” she said, closing her eyes. She held her thumbs to her cheeks and index fingers to her brow, head shaking slightly and growing faster in movements. Then her eyes shot open and she pulled her hands away.

“Okay, bleeding’s bad, possibly infected from whatever Grimm attacked. Need something to help sterilize…Oakenya trees here, they have sap…which can be mixed with it’s needles to start the enzymatic production of hydrogen peroxide,” Naomi said, very quickly like she was reading from a book. She snapped her fingers, as Tibbers appeared next to her. “Tibbers, get the stuff!” she said, as the now light-green Aura construct went to work clawing at the tree and knocking its branches down.

Naomi rushed away, head in her hands like before. “Okay, okay, she also needs…also needs to get up, a short boost of energy,” she said aloud, sliding to her pack on the ground. “If I can get her awake, her Aura should get her stamina back, but maybe a little boost will help…” she said, pulling out her lunchbox. She opened the bear-shaped tin and pulled out two oranges, just as Tibbers walked over with a clawful of sap and crushed needles. “Good timing, put that on her wounds, then squeeze the oranges to get the juice in her mouth. S’okay if there’s some sap, glucose will help her energy levels,” she said, running away after setting down the fruit.

“Okay, okay, she needs something on her cuts, um, um um, umumum…Freliose flowers, their leaves are wide, and while technically separate, they grow with their edges together,” she said once more, finding the flowers from the picture she saw in a book. She found it, Yellow with blue tips and purple centers, and sighed. She plucked off a few leaves, saying, “This is as sterile as we’ll get, hope the sap will help,”

She rushed over, just as Tibbers finished dribbling the squeezed oranges into Pascale’s mouth. Naomi quickly slapped the leaves, after prying them apart, in the girl’s wounds. Still breathing hard, she gripped her hoodie while heaving. She paced, sitting down beside a nearby tree, as Tibbers appeared beside her. “Okay, okay, okay, we have to wait, I think. She lost a lot of blood, but if we took care of her stuff alright, her Aura should kick in and help get her up and going. She’s lucky there wasn’t worse damage, I don’t know if her Aura could do much else besides…” she paused, as the forest around her grew quiet. Unnervingly so.

Naomi held her breath, eyes darting around as snapping twigs broke the quiet. She stumbled up, tripping and landing beside Pascale’s unconscious form. She started hyperventilating, as Tibber’s form grew more erratic and disjointed. Lumbering into view, from behind the trees, was an injured Ursa, with the sounds of more surrounding them. It’s nose twitched, as Naomi mentally chastised herself. While Oakenya sap could be approximated into an anti-bacterial solution, it also was one of the favored food sources of the Ursa, and Tibbers had slashed at a lot of the trunk.

Naomi’s breathing was rapid, wheezy, and obviously frightened. Something that the Ursa could definitely tell, judging from the apparent pleasure taken by its slow approach. Several others came into view around Naomi and Pascale, approaching at a slower speed than their injuired leader. Naomi’s hands tensed, clutching the large sleeves on her hoodie. She glanced back, seeing an opening between the trees, through the Ursa’s line of defense. She could make a run for it, maybe have Tibbers run decoy. But then her hand fell down, touching Pascale’s arm.

Naomi looked, staring at Pascale’s face. This girl was obviously being chased and hounded, but chose to pick Naomi up rather than leave her to get overrun. While Naomi would’ve preferred to take care of herself, no one else had really shown this…attention? Care? Not anyone who she hadn’t formally met, anyways. Naomi’s look of fear was gone, her brow furrowed in determination, and the Ursa leader could see it to.

It slowed its approach as Naomi pointed a fingers. “Tibbers…sic ‘em.”

The Aura construct roared to life it’s previous color of light green flashing to red. Tibbers eyes glowed very bright as he roared, slightly increasing in size as the injured leader stood up to roar at him. Tibbers charged, shoulder tackling him and sending him bouncing backwards into a tree, temporarily stunned. At its neck, like a bell on a collar, was a silver orb, latched at the base of its neck.

Tibbers ran around slashing and swiping at the pack of Ursa around them, clawing some and biting others. He was trying to attack all of their attention, to have them focused completely on him, while Naomi hefted Pascale on her shoulder. It wasn’t easy, Pascale’s knees barely cleared the ground, and Naomi’s legs were feeling wobbly. But she had to get the girl out of harms way for the time being, at least until she could wake up. She turned, straining herself, as she dragged Pascale past the clearing of trees she landed in. But she didn’t see, while Tibbers was attacking the rest of the pack, that the injured leader had shaken off its woozy clouds and gave the big bear fight a wide berth.

It could tell this strange thing attacking his family was connected with the little girl, it had her scent. Whether or not killing her would make it disappear was a thought for a higher-thinking creature, all the leader knew was that he had smelled her near food, which made them food as well.

The injured leader, skulking on the outsides of the clearing that the girls had landed in, edged closer and closer to the pair of girls. Naomi was too focused on dragging this girl to safety to keep mind of her surroundings, she couldn’t even hear the footfalls of the bears claws. Which meant Tibbers was staying focused on dealing with the other Ursa and wouldn’t know to go to Naomi if she needed him. Which was about to end up poorly for her, as the injured leader raised a claw behind her, ready to strike.

Also, been needing to put these up for awhile. I'll do proper ones in a bit, but I figure you guys wanna know more about some of the characters.

Beecher Betelgeuse [+]

Ashton Cross [+]

Name: Ashton Cross
Nickname: Ace, Crosshair, Ash
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Weapons/Equipment/Armor: “Calamitous Jane and Oakland Annabel,” twin revolvers that have been retrofitted with auto-feed bullet gauntlets. Ashton can alter the feed to put in particular bullets that are specially made, or just have regular bullets for rapid-fire. They’re named after his great-grandfather’s aunts, who taught him to shoot. Ashton is able to fire them at a incredibly high rate, so far his fastest is 16 rounds a second. But he’s always training, and always improving, so he’s expecting to get faster while he’s at Beacon.

Also on his gauntlets are two extendable tethers that he can rope things with, which he likes to call “Laser Lassos,” as they have a special luminescent filament with strengthens it’s bonds and fibers by running Dust Energy through it. Very difficult to break even without Dust, and Ashton is very good at lassoing things with them.

Semblance: “Tracker Tracer,” Ashton has the ability to infuse his Aura with objects, allowing him to do two things. 1) Allow him to be able to sense the exact position of an object, the exactness growing vaguer while his Aura fades from the object. 2) Cause the object to be somewhat magnetically attracted to the first object, and while in motion, try to follow the first. How strong the attraction is depends on how much Aura he puts into it. His Aura has a certain polarity, it’s like it has different frequencies rather than being separate types of Aura, but the second “polarity” seems very much dependant on the first.

Hobbies: Shooting, roping, riding, taming, and strangely enough, leather work. Isn’t too shabby with a guitar or a harmonica either, and cookies a mean pot of beans. Though he likes to do it, he’s not very good at barbecuing, his steaks coming out like giant, burnt, awful tasting cookies.

Bio: Ashton Cross is the great-grandson of the late Captain Cash “Crazy” Cross, who fought in the previous Kingdom Wars for Vale. In battle, he’d often issue orders on the fly, running headfirst to face the enemy and succeeding against all odds, or running away seemingly to escape and sniping every soldier from far away. He was dangerous up close or at a distance, and often his celebrations would be as destructive as his battles. But despite his problems, he was a war hero, and Ashton grew up asking time and time again to hear stories of his great-grandfather. He always had a thirst for the glory of battle, but wars between Kingdoms had long since been done away with when the Grimm rose up again. So Ashton did the next best thing, and set out to be a Huntsman. He’d grown up on a farm, and has many skills and talents of the iconic “cowboy,” and very much looks and acts the part. However, his great pride of his family name sometimes gets the better of him, and he rubs people the wrong way, and Ashton is not one for apologies.
Personality: Spirited, clever, and risk-taking. Often shoots first and asks questions after shooting some more. Luckily, he’s often insightful, but he very much enjoys flying by the seat of his pants.

Appearance:

Jonah Steelson [+]

Name: Jonah Hensworth Steelson
Nickname: Steam, Steel, Hammer Guy
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Weapons/Equipment/Armor: Two Hammers which can combine into one large hammer or a longer double ended one, the separate hammers each having a strap that Jonah can wrap around his wrist. Each has four Dust jets, two at either end of the hammer head and two along the handle, which can rotate and pivot. Each hammer weighs over 50 pounds, and the jets are strong enough to send the hammer flying at very high speeds. Jonah throw the hammers and summon them back, controlling the flight/trajectory of each hammer with wristbands that send signals based on the movement of his arms. One hammer is dark red, the other dark blue, and when they combine to form the large hammer, the heads separate into segmented chunks and look as a mish-mash of red and blue. Is able to achieve short flight with the hammer jets, though it burns up more Dust than usual to carry loads rather than just flying itself, but Jonah’s developed a technique involving swinging the hammer, jumping, and activating the jets which allows him to traverse decently long distances quickly and using a minimal (though still relatively significant) amount of Dust.

He’s named them, but the naming is a little odd. The blue hammer is called “Polly Ann,” the red is “Julie Ann,” but when they’re combined it’s “Lucy” or “Lucille,” for the double ended hammer and large hammer, respectively.

Semblance: “Steelskin Overdrive,” Jonah can supercharge the amount of Aura he produces, though it has a rough impact on his body overall, especially his heart if he overuses it. Once in Overdrive, his skin becomes incredibly tough, able to withstand great amounts of force with no damage, and he stars emitting clouds of steam from the process. His strength is also increased, but again, the toll that’s taken on his body usually affects him after he’s out of Overdrive, it can be incredibly dangerous if he doesn’t give his body time to recuperate.
Hobbies: Very much enjoys singing, crafting, and carpentry. Though he likes the mechanics behind weapons, he dislikes most other forms of technology, not so much that he won’t ever use any, but that he prefers doing things by hand or the old-fashioned way if relatively possible to do so.
Bio: Jonah comes from a working family, he’s lived rough his whole life. Men from his family had long since been Dust miners, helping to coordinate and mine out new Dust deposits. It wasn’t incredibly dangerous, but it obviously wasn’t the safest job in the world. But when new Mining Bots became better designed, his father was in danger of being laid-off. When the foreman had bought a new bot to try out, Jonah’s father challenged it to see who could mine more to hopefully save the jobs of the workers. Incredibly, Jonah alone was able to collect more Dust than the robot was able to, using his Aura Semblance. However, the competition was then attacked, the mined Dust was rigged with esplosives, and the quarry was overrun with terrorists from White Fang. Jonah’s father was able to hold them off while the workers escaped, but in the process, he had been in Overdrive too long, and died. Jonah took it incredibly hard, taking it upon himself to take revenge. His mother Lucille had long ago died, and her sister’s Polly and Julie Ann took him in. Jonah crafted his own hammers, naming them after the important women in his life, and set out to become a Hunter, gaining combat skills to one day take revenge on the people who killed his father.

Personality: Very intense and serious, has no mind for jokes or pranks. Straightforward and direct, he very quickly gets to the point of things and doesn’t like to dance around the topic of a conversation. Though he doesn’t hate all Fauna, he’s usually uneasy around them at first, not exactly abrasive but not the most accommodating, until he gets to know them. The memory of those who attacked his father is still fresh.

Appearance:

Lorelei Serena [+]

Name: Lorelei Serena
Nickname: Lei
Race: Sparrow Faunus
Gender: Female
Age: 17

Weapons/Equipment/Armor: “Silent Seduction,” is a large Gauntlet, that has retractable talons that are set along the wrist when not in use. Its forearm guard is very wide, and the end doesn’t fit right over the hand. The talon part is attached to a launching grapple, and the fingers are controlled by sensors within the forearm guard where the wearer’s hand resides. It’s specially constructed to resonate at different frequencies, either from the guard for a large-scale wave or at the end of the hand for a focused burst. While any user can make the sound waves, only Lorelei’s Semblance can interact with them well enough to do anything besides painful high frequencies. Along the arm is metal plating that looks like feathers, which can ruffle up to help shield Lorelei from a large attack or, in an emergency, be thrown as razor sharp daggers. They can magnetically return back to the gauntlet, though she must get in very close range to do so, but they aren’t that difficult to make if she loses any.

Semblance: “Perfect Pitch,” Lorelei’s Semblance allows her to sense sound waves around her and modulate any sound wave she physically produces. It doesn’t have to come from her body, but she needs to be in direct contact with whatever is emitting or amplifying the sound wave, and the amount of Aura needed is somewhat relative to the size of the wave. It’s not directly proportionate, but she does need more for a larger wave than a smaller. It then can affect people’s bodies, her Aura using the sound waves to bypass any resistance that another person’s Aura might pose. She can affect a person’s mind and body, though more significant effects take a longer time to set in, and only affect them while she’s able to sustain the same sound. She’s so far been able to make people have feelings of love as a sort of “mind control,” can make them feel intense pains in their ears, and can make them hear things that aren’t there (While this can be used as a distraction, she can also use it as a form of secret communication).

She’s found it works best in battle with her weapon, though she’s able to use it with most any musical instrument as well, including her own voice. Her Semblance is also very much tied to her ears as well, due to a horrible accident from her childhood ruining her eyes, and her Aura seemed to develop that Semblance to compensate. So her hearing is much greater than most, but she can be unable to use her Semblance if her hearing is damaged in some way.
Hobbies: Singing, playing instruments, and swimming. She very much likes to be in the water, as she can actually see clearer with her Semblance in the water than on land.

Bio: Lorelei Serena is one of the many illegitimate daughters of renowned musician and cruise line owner River Prince, who has a habit of leaving his groupies a little surprise after he leaves town. Lorelei’s mother was a simple office worker whose only claim to fame was a one-night stand with the musician years ago, raising Lorelei up by herself. When she told the girl who her father was, a 8 year-old Lorelei set out to meet him, looking up where he was and stealing/saving enough money to set out on her own to go see him. Against all odds, she made it, relatively safe and sound, to a coastal city that River’s cruise ship was about to depart from. Trying to sneak on board, some dock workers there said they’d help her, saying that they’d load her up in a box to put aboard.

These men were less than truthful, as they had no love for Fauna and sought to get their kicks by torturing the little girl. They kept her in the box on a small fishing boat for days, giving some water and entertaining themselves by dangling exposed electrical cables down to shock her. Luckily, there’s been complaints and calls about noises at the docks, some saying they heard what sounded like a little girl crying out in pain, though the police hadn’t looked into it. However, a passing Hunter heard rumors of it and decided to investigate it themselves, finding the boat and Lorelei, who was very much in need of medical attention. Unfortunately, the Hunter was attacked from behind by the dock workers, and in the ensuing fight, one of the electrical cables fell on Lorelei’s eyes. The Hunter soundly defeated the men, and rushed the girl to the hospital, but by then it was too late to save her sight. The Hunter took her back to her mother, who had been searching everywhere for the girl since she left. Years later, she’d gotten passed her ordeal, and had gotten used to her new disability. However, the Hunter left a strong impression on her, as their face was one of the last things Lorelei ever actually saw. The girl decided to try to become a Hunter, despite the setbacks her blindness proved, and oddly enough, her Aura developed in a way to compensate for it. She may someday meet her father, but for now she’s focusing on making the person who’s done more for her than River ever did proud, and is trying to be the best Hunter she can be. But she still bears her emotional scars as well as physical ones, which can still cause problems for her.

Personality: While she knows that not all humans are like the ones who caused her blindness, she is quite tense around them, and is very aggressive against those who are racist towards Fauna (Faunist?). She’s very manipulative, reasoning that she has to be to make sure she doesn’t get tricked again, and doesn’t trust easily. She also is very claustrophobic from her experience, getting very manic and defensive if she’s ever trapped in some place. She knows she’s very attractive and uses that to her advantage whenever possible, but her scars around her eyes are something she tries her best to hide, either with sunglasses or a blindfold. Unless she feels very close to someone, she’d never let them see her without something covering her eyes.
