Rex

RWBY: Shades of Black

Username: Rex
Character Name: Tank Licorice
Age: 19
Gender/Sex: Male

Appearance:

Weapon:

Two Wolf Bite Yoyo’s (Large yoyo’s that have chainsaw teeth around the edges while the string is made out of thin titanium)

Semblance:
No pain no Gain: Tank's Semblance turns off the pain receptors in his mind and nerves in his body so he can fight longer and hard without feeling pain. His Semblance allows his Aura to coat him like armor so he can take more hits and dish more out. Once the aura armor is broken, his Semblance is terminated until he is able to regain enough stamina to reuse it.

Corruption:
Sanity Check: Tank’s Semblance might help him fight and feel less pain, but it also triggers something in his mental state that causes Tank to go mad and attack anything and everything around him should he over use it. His Semblance taps into his animal instincts and along with his madness he becomes a feral beast and losses all his humanity.

The Academy of Solomon

“Heave is safe; however, god does his best to keep his children say. There are loop holes in many of the Holy Scriptures that the dark one uses and so do the Necromancers, “Alex began to explain before they walked into the chamber and all hell broke loss. Alex quickly reached for his weapon before he stopped. He knew the screams would start when the cloth and chains came off so instead he used close quarter combat with the undead. He quickly uppercutted one of the undead; fracturing its jaw. Alex quickly took out the holy water and let a few drops fall onto each of his fists before he attacked another undead.

He quickly punched the chest of another undead before he was able to get behind it and snap its neck. The undead convulsed before it fell to the ground. he undead that had its Jaw fractured lunged at Alex, but he quickly rolled out of the way. This is getting me no were. I don’t want to do it, but I’ll have to Use Soul Eater. Alex thought.

“Please forgive me,” Alex said before he unchained the weapon on his back. The chain quickly wrapped around Alex’s right ar. As soon as he unwrapped the cloth and gripped his weapon, the screams began. There were three voices coming from his weapon. Each one screaming to be let out from their prison or asking for forgiveness. Using his Soul eater, Alex cut down one of the Undead, slicing off one of its arms.

Seth sighed and walked away from Aiza. Why can’t these kids see I’m just looking out for them? It’s not like asking them to think and be safe is asking a lot. Seth thought. All Seth really wanted to insure all the younger solders had a future ahead of them. However, he didn’t realize he wasn’t talking to normal solders, but ordinary people who wanted peace. He also didn’t realize that when he talked to people he acted preachy and would sometimes sound like he was better than everyone else; even though he didn’t mean to. When Seth heard the commander talk about an air strike and that they were moving. He walked over to the commander and saluted.

“Seth Rush, lieutenant of the Fifth division of the Fire nation Army reporting sir,” Seth said to the commander before he added, “Did the letter from the Fire Lord reach your desk about my involvement to help White Lotus against Red Lotus sir? If so where would you like me to be and how can I help?”

Ok, now that we're gathered, I decided to start the action.

@TheUnknowable

Where should Seth go?

The Academy of Solomon

Alex followed the group as everyone prepared their weapons. His Soul Eater was still chained and clothed on his back as to keep the screaming of the three souls mute to the others in the group. He would use all their suggestions and use close quarters combat to break the bones of the undead. It wouldn’t be easy, but it was better than subjecting them all to the screams. When the Hellsing boy asked for a story and no one offer he figured he’s pass the time.

“I got one,” Alex said before he begins, “once there was a man who was sick and twisted. He would do dastardly and horrible things to his victims. However, when he got board of the older victims he began targeting the innocent children of his village. For years this went on until finally he was caught and hung for his crimes.” Alex stopped speaking for a few seconds like he was trying to remember the rest of the story. Why this story? Maybe it’s because? Alex thought before he lost his train of thought and continued.

“Many years later; we’re talking about 50 years later mind you. The man returns as a Necromancer and terrorizes the living with his un dead. A group of Demon Hunters is sent to deal with the Necromancer and his undead army. Among the demon hunters is a young apprentice who is told to deal with the undead while his superiors handle the Necromancer. The young apprentice cuts down every undead he comes across until word comes down that the Necromancer is defeated. However, this stories ending is not a happy one. The young apprentice slays 21 undead before the Necromancer is destroyed, but he is unaware of what happens to the souls trapped in the undead bodies when slain before the Necromancer is destroyed. This Necromancer was the powerful type and could put random souls into undead bodies. Every soul the Necromancer took from heaven was a child’s soul and the young apprentice is told what happens when a soul is released from the undead body while the necromancer is still around. The young apprentice has sent 21 child souls to Limbo,” Seth tells before he stops and finishes, “the young apprentice wonders how he can slay monsters when he himself is a monster? That’s the end of the story.”

Legend of Korra AU

Whatever Seth said must have struck a cord with the young fire bender since she told him she was her own brand of crazy. It wasn’t his intent to disrespect the young women. He sighed and rubbed his eyes before he said, “I’m sorry Ms. If I disrespected you. However, I’ve seen so many youthful soldiers like yourself you thinks acting crazy and powerful will help them get through the battle. Do you know how many survived with that kind of thinking? I can’t tell you how much it hurts just to watch children, teens, young adults be placed in body bags because they didn’t think.” His train of thought was broken when he saw one of the fire benders use lightning, to which the other couldn’t redirect and get hit. He sighed and stood up straight from leaning on the railing after the water bender healed one of the fire benders.

“Listen up you two!” Seth yelled towards the two fire benders in a stern voice before he continued, “Lightning is not something you can just wield and think nothing of it. Lightning bending is the third hardest bending in the entire world. It’s both powerful and unpredictable. You think it’s just another bending ability when in reality you are gifted with the ability by nature itself. Out of all the fire benders only a select few could lightning bend. Even Aang had trouble learning how to wield such uncontrollable power and he was the Avatar. Do not wield something you don’t not understand or respect.” Over the years Seth watched so many of the solders try to lightning bend only to either be hurt or worse.

“Also, you are training! That means you shouldn’t try to mortally wound one another. You’re lucky this time, but next time think before you act. Winning a war is not about how powerful you are, but if your strategy is better than your enemy’s. Plus if one of you is hospitalized we’ll be a man down and greatly outnumbered by the Red Lotus. Every single solder has a role to play in bringing back the peace. No matter how small,” Seth said. he didn’t like scolding others, but over the years it helped keep people safe and if it meant being the bad guy to save lives. He’s gladly be the bed guy.

“I suggest you check your attitude Ms. Fire Bender, “ Seth said to Aiza before he added, “Because someone like you will get people killed. A lot of people killed.”

Mythic Park Idea

@RexI like it! As long as we can play the creatures as well as humans. If this takes off, I claim Pegasus!

@CandiBarr

I didn't think of the people controlling creatures, but now that you mention it. that would make it more interesting. I think it would work. thank you for the input.

Mythic Park Idea

so I have this idea. the best way to describe it is: think Jurassic world, but instead of dinosaurs the park is filled with Mythic Creatures like Centaur, Dragons, Harpies, Minotaur, chimera, Etc. it won't just be mythical creatures from Greek mythology but all creatures of all cultures. This is were the Jurassic world plot comes in were scientists create a new creature. I'm still trying to come up with the plot and story. the biggest hurtle is how the scientist have created the creatures in the lab. I also want to try and have players control more then one character because there will be deaths. lots and lots of deaths. so what do you all think of the idea?

Legend of Korra AU

Seth sat in one of the benches watching the two fire benders train. They had spunk, but also were making a few mistakes that could get hem killed in a real fight. He had gotten to Republic City earlier that day and the nostalgia flowed back as he walked down the streets towards the recruitment office. The memories of the Fireflies, his friends, and the pro-bending matches made him almost miss the office. It would have been great to visit his two pro-bending partners, but he wasn’t there to sight see. He was ordered to help the white lotus keep the peace against the red lotus. Once he showed the man at the desk his papers from the Fire nations he sat down and watched the match between the two fire benders.

“They have heart, but could use a little more work on their techniques,” Seth muttered to himself as he watched more recruits walk in. he rubbed his eyes and sighed, “I understand the need to stop the Red lotus, but o throw such young individuals into the fire.” Seth stood up and walked closer to the match to get a better look when he heard a girl talk about how bad the two were fighting. Is that? No, she’s too young to be her. I must be getting old if my eyes are playing tricks on me like this. Seth thought.

“It’s not that they’re bad at their skills, it’s just they’re training. Should they mortally wound the other then we’re a man down against the Red Lotus,” Seth explained to the girl just before she went off on talking about roasting one of the fighters and eating them. Seth shook his head and added, “Should have known you’re a fan of Azula. You look just like her, but I figured my eyes were playing tricks on me. Word to the wise: you can idolize her, but acting like here will get you weird looks. Many of the soldiers look up to both her and her brother since they’re the most powerful fire benders out there. So I get where you’re coming from, but I wouldn’t act like her. You’re already in the fire by fighting the Red lotus. Don’t throw your life away just to idolize someone else.”

Seth Rush

Appearance:

Name: Seth Rush
Age: 42
Family: None
Type of Bending: Fire
Personality: Collective, calm, caring
Bio:
Seth was born in the fire nation to a black smith family. From a young age he was taught how to create weapons using his fire bending skills. By the time he was ten he had made his very own Weapon of black steel he called the Black Star Blade. While he was still young his father told him of the amazing adventures he went on as a kid, but by far his favorite was when his father met the Avatar. Seth admired the Avatar and their efforts to keep the peace. However, as Seth grew he slowly lost interest in black smiting and more into Pro-bending. He would listen to every match on the radio and always said he would be a great Pro-bending champion. For his fifteenth birth day his parents took his to Republic City to watch a match live. Seth was enthralled at the match because for years he had envisioned what a match would look like, but he never imagined a match to be like this.

Seth began to train when he got back home to join the ranks of the Pro-bending players. It was a long road but as he perfected his skills he finally felt comfortable in his skills to try out in Republic City. He left home when he was nineteen to join a Pro-bending team. It was much harder than it seemed because he didn’t immodestly get into Pro-bending but first got a job as a dishwasher at a café. However, every night he would scour the city for flyers or other indications that someone was looking for a Fire Bender for their Pro-Bending. It took him 6 months but he finally found a team looking for Fire Bender try outs. He immediately went to where the try outs where held and watched as the other fire benders had their turn. Seth was sacred at the fact that many of the Fire benders where good and he wouldn’t be able to become a Pro-Bender player.

When Seth’s name was called he went into the try outs and preformed with all his heart. By the end of the try outs he and the rest of them were told they would make their decision by the end of the week and asked for contact information. Seth gave it to them and walked out feeling lest then stellar. He couldn’t tell if they were impressed with him or found him lack luster and pathetic. A week later the two Pro Bending players he tried out in front of came by his work, but he felt they were only there to eat. Since trying out he was pushed up to waiter and while he helped other guests one of the waitress told Seth the two wanted to speak to him. His heart leapt into his throat when he heard this and proceeded to their table.

The two introduced themselves: the earth bender was named Sotoe Grey and his water bender partner was Tulu Frost. They asked Seth if he had some time to talk to which Seth was able to get time from his boss. The two talked about his try out and what things they liked and what things he could improve on. By the end of the conversation Sotoe congratulated Seth on joining their Pro-Bending team called Firefly. Seth wanted to leap up and down and hug the two, but he kept his composure and thanked the two. When the two left and he went back into the kitchen he celebrated like a child who got the toy they wanted for their birthday.

The next day Seth met the two at the training grounds where they helped Seth improve on the skills he needed to while also perfecting the skills they had commemorated him for. By the time three months had passed Seth was waiting with Sotoe and Tulu. He was nervous for his first Pro-Bending match but Sotoe reassured him that he was nervous for his first match as well, but his team helped him through it. That’s what Sotoe and Tulu did as the match began. It started out slow and Seth made a few mistakes, but as the match progressed. Seth got into a grove and with the help of Sotoe and Tulu they won the match.

The post-match party in Seth’s mind was the best thing that ever happened to him. He was on the road to becoming a Pro-Bender player and he knew once Firefly became famous he could bring his parents to Republic City and give them a home to live in so he wasn’t so far away.

The next two years went by so quickly Seth felt it was like he blinked and time had speed up. Firefly was doing great, they had won matches but also lost some but the ladder leaned more towards the winning side since they were 15-5. Seth was at the height of his life. He was a Pro-Bender player, his mother and father came to one of his matches which they lost, but he didn’t care since he got to see his parents. He was even asked to be Sotoe’s best man when he asked Tulu to marry him. He felt like he found the rails to the rest of his life, but that came to a crashing halt when news broke that the Avatar was killed. It was a blow to everyone’s mood and soon it became apparent that everything was going to change.

Seth wanted to stay in Republic City and continue his Pro-Bending career, but he knew the leader of the fire nation would want to mobilize a unit should the peace be threatened. Sotoe and Tulu understood Seth and told him to go back to the Fire nation to help with the peace efforts. When asked about his replacement. Sotoe and Tulu informed him they were having a child and would retire from Pro-bending. Seth wished them the best of luck and caught the next boat to the Fire nation.

Once he returned to the fire nation, his first stop was his parents’ house. He informed them of what he was doing and his father presented him with Seth’s very first weapon, The Black Star Blade. Seth said his goodbyes to his parents and left for the military camp. He wasn’t sure he’d need to worry since the next avatar would show up soon, but something in his gut told him otherwise.

Through the years, Seth trained at the military camp and improved his Fire bending skills for more combat then Pro-bending matches. However, he found that his skills in Pro-Bending made him more agile and faster at seeing potential threats. He was never one to be a leader so instead he followed every general’s order and trained until he could no longer move at times

It’s been twenty-one years since the Avatars death and Seth now finds himself among the youth of the Fire nation. He was never one to be a leader, but now he finds himself as a lieutenant under one of the generals in the Fire Nation. Their mission is to help the White lotus keep the Red lotus at bay.
