This Beautiful World: Beyond the Endless Horizon (Soft SciFi vs High Fantasy GATE-inspired RP) [DEAD]

Alright, so I'm gonna talk RWBY spoilers now so don't open the hider if you haven't seen the end of volume 3.

RWBY Spoilers

So, personally, I hope Yang gets a badass robot arm. Something that makes her even more badass, like a robo arm that turns into a shotgun. That'd be fucking sick. I was also hoping for more from the fight between Oz and Cinder. The shots we got were great obviously, it looks like Oz uses his cane as a fencing sword. But he can also generate force fields and fly ( Or at least jump really high and slow.) I also hope we get to see Jaune's semblance in Volume 4. What do you guys think it will be? I'm hoping for something that'll tie in with his tactical talent. Maybe he'll be able to summon like minions, like Sun's clones but more and stronger? Also, Ruby's super saiyan moment when she sees Pyrrha getting iced, I hope that doesn't mean she's one of the maidens. That'd be just too predictable. Maybe like a genetic power that she got from Summer, like the Schnee Glyph.

ALSO, speaking of Yang, her mother is Raven right? And Tai is her father. But Ruby's mother is Summer. And presumably Tai is also her father. And Qrow (Who is pretty much a confirmed Animorph) is Raven's Brother. So, did Yang know Ruby's mother? Did Yang's mother just walk out on them? Who was Ruby's Mother? A lot of questions.

Zelda Oberherr

Don't try to run. You'll only die tired.
-Motto of the Khorenheim Reich Sniper Academy

Name

Zelda Schukon Oberherr

Nicknames

Ice Queen

Age

19

Gender

Female

Race

Of Middle European Descent, from one of the many forests of High Terra

Homeworld

Khorenheim

Rank

Private First Class

Role

Scout Sniper (Extremely similar to that of the U.S. Marine Scout Sniper)

Appearance

Zelda stands at 5'5. She has a curvy form and athletic physique. Her hair is blonde and she has bright blue eyes. Her uniform is consistent with the Khorenheim standard gray and red markings. Her top is adorned with extra pouches on the sleeves and a harness designed for sniper ammo and accessories. Her pants are a gray camo pattern, tucked into shined black boots. She wears a gray boonie hat, which is different from the standard infantry helmet. In the middle front is the Khorenheim Sniper Symbol. Her hair is to the extent allowed, just above her shoulders. She has light freckles across her nose.

Equipment

• Standard Khorenheim Reich Army Sniper Uniform
• M3P-4 10mm Pistol
• RO-3 Omni Grenade
• Scharfschütze Mk 12 - In tradition with the Reich's brilliant weapon design, the Mk 12 is one of the most effective Sniper Rifles in the Union. Used exclusively by Reich Snipers and occasionally lent to the Primarch's personal guard.
• Standard Khorenheim Combat Knife

Personality

Zelda is loyal, efficient, and apathetic. She gets the job done and that's all that matters. She's awkward at best in social situations. She's also irritable, bossy, demanding. She expects every soldier to do their job and do it perfectly. She's also arrogant, thinking that she could lead soldiers better than most officers in most armies. Whether that arrogance is misplaced or not, remains to be seen. She isn't interested in relationships, boys, girls, dogs, cats, she doesn't care at all. The only situation where she isn't emotionless is in battle, whether sniping from a far or in the heat of it, her eyes light up with joy. Much of her personality can be attributed to the traumas she suffered when she was younger and her strict and militaristic upbringing. She resents her father for many things, including pulling strings to get her placed in the 1st Recon. She despises being treated like a helpless girl.

Traits

• Excellent Sniper- Due to her top-notch training and natural talent, Zelda is a skilled and deadly sniper.
• Talented Musician- Zelda is surprisingly good at playing the piano and when she does play, she prefers to play in the ancient style of 'Rock and Roll'.
• Skilled Martial Artist- Her past and military training have inspired Zelda to train in multiple styles of hand to hand combat to defend herself.

History

Zelda was born to a Khorenheim Army Officer and an enemy spy. Shortly after Zelda's birth, her mother, the spy, was executed. Zelda's father raised her by himself the only way he knew how, with strict military protocol. She attended state academies from a young age, grooming her for military service. Despite all this, Zelda was a happy, patriotic, and outgoing girl with plenty of friends. She was smart, resourceful, and observant. But her whole world was turned upside down when she was taken advantage of and raped by one of her instructors. The experience shattered her. Her father, going into a rage when he found out, hunted down the man and gunned him down in his home in front of his wife and child. Zelda was in recovery for months, becoming quiet and withdrawn. She went to a new academy a different girl than the on that arrived at her previous one. She still excelled in everything she did. But she was known as cold to other students and had very few friends.

When she was at the age to be ready for military service, she enlisted instead of going to an officer academy, much to the dismay of her father. Shortly after, she enrolled in the Khorenheim Sniper Academy. She was promoted to Pfc after graduating from the academy. After serving at some quiet assignments for nothing more than recon, she heard about the gate on Ennedi. What she never would expected though, is that her father would pull some strings to get her assigned to the Spec Ops Unit that would enter the gate. It angered her beyond belief. She didn't need her father to take care of her. But orders were orders and she was soon heading for Ennedi to join the 1st Recon.

<Snipped quote by The Survivor>

Sure! The only question I have is will they be a major or minor character?

Just remember to provide an explanation on why someone relatively new and inexperienced would end up on a mission such as this. ^^

@ClocktowerEchos

Probably a major character, I'll start working on her now.

@ClocktowerEchos Hey mind if I make a rookie char? I've noticed we have a distinct lack of Privates in our unit so far.

The Assassination Trade

Name: Abraham Niteyen
Call sign: 'Judge'
Age: 46
Appearance:

appearance

Gear:

Abraham wears stolen Illumination soldier body armor under a dark trench coat. The armor is riddled with bullet holes but is still effective, the armor color is faded black, Kevlar weave being visible along certain parts of the armor. He wears gray camo trousers with tactical pouches on either leg. He also wears black combat boots.

-He wields two modified pistols that have varying ranges and fire rates, from close to long range and single to automatic fire. The pistols themselves are completely black, save for a silver gavel engraved on the hilt of each. He calls the left one 'Jury' and the right one 'Executioner'.

-Besides his pistols, he has an extremely large Bowie knife strapped to his right thigh. It's slightly curved with a black leather wrapped hilt. Burned along the blade is the name 'Jericho'.

Abilities: Exposed to a radioactive deposit when he was young, Abraham as the ability to go into a state he calls "Cross-Examination". With this ability, Abraham's reflexes are enhanced so much that everything seems slow to him. While no scientist, Abraham believes the radioactive deposit he was accidentally exposed to as an infant enhanced his brain power, allowing him to use his ability for short periods of time.

Personality: Abraham is quiet, reserved, and thoughtful. He can be irritable and grumpy at times, especially when talking to someone he doesn't know particularly well. He has his own sense of Justice, what crimes deserve death or simply a beating. He encourages his comrades to fight their hardest and often helps them in their trouble areas. Being one of the more senior members, people often look to him for advice. And while he occasionally indulges them, he often leaves them to their own devices, believing the best advice anyone can get is experience.

He feels the need to fight the Illumination to find his family, but also right the wrongs he did in his past and pay for his cruel and brutal nature.

Backstory: Abraham was born in the high class society of the elite, loyalists to the Illumination. His parents were both Doctors who specialized in medical research for the Illumination. Abraham was raised being brainwashed into believing that the Illumination was the savior of the world, as well as his sister, Roxanne, who was two years younger than him. Abraham was talented in everything he did and throughout much of school he was on the popular kids. He was cruel though, uncaring, targeting weaker students to satisfy his own power urges. This was not a trend who would grow out of until much, much later.

He graduated High School at 18 and joined the Illumination Military Academy to become an Army Officer. There he met his wife, Angela. Much like high school, Abraham dominated the environment. Top of his class, known for his strict and effective reputation. He was officially commissioned as an officer at 22 years old. While serving for the next 10 years, he would earn a reputation like he did in the academy. Brilliant, strict, and effective. The men who came under his command would be in many dangerous positions, but they would be the best. His daughter was born when he 27, he and Angela named her Rosanne. He still maintained a decent relationship with his family, all serving the Illumination in some way or another.

It wasn't until Abraham was 32, that his life would take a turn for the worse. His parents were suspected of leaking information to insurgent and rebel cells. They were found guilty. A death squad was sent to their house and gunned them down. Abraham was visiting that day. An hour later, he found his parents dead and heard a rumor about an Internal investigation that resulted in a death squad being deployed. He put two and two together. He then received a call that his sister had detained his wife and child and that Angela was on trial. Enraged by his sister's betrayal, he grabbed a weapon and stormed the court building they were in. He didn't make it far. He took 3 bullets to his Illumination armor and he retreated, being hunted by multiple death squads. He disappeared into the city. Three days later, his wife was executed. He heard rumors that his sister had taken custody of his daughter. And he would do anything to get her.

For the next 5 years, Abraham worked alone. He attacked the Illumination left and right with various different rebel groups. But he never got close to his family. When he was 37, he was contacted by the Huntsman clan and was offered membership. He accepted.

Notes: Loves Pre-War Music, is a skilled guitar player.

Corporal Aziz Iostan

Aziz Iostan

“Climb High, Climb Far, Your Goal the Sky, Your Aim the Star.”
-Ancient High Terra University Inscription

Name

Aziz Mano Iostan

Nicknames

Azi

Age

22

Gender

Male

Race

Human, ancestry from the Arabic/Middle Eastern provinces of High Terra.

Homeworld

Ennedi

Rank

Corporal

Role

Ennedi Specialized "Flame Trooper" or more commonly known as a Pyro, Aziz carries a flamethrower designed on Ennedi along with a side arm and melee weapon.

Appearance

Aziz stands at 5 foot 10 with a slim, but muscular physique. His armor is largely unchanged, save for the gas mask/helmet combination that is issued to Flame Troopers on Ennedi, replacing the Ennedi Infantry Cover that most soldiers wear. (Like this but more desert and green camo, and only the gas mask and helmet, not the rest of the outfit.

Equipment

• Standard Ennedi Soldier Armor
• Ennedi Flame Trooper Helmet and Gas Mask
• Ennedi Flame Trooper M9 Flamethrower (Note: The mask hooks up to an oxygen tank on his back, though smaller than what is used in the present, just as effective.)
• M3P-4 10mm Pistol
• Ennedi Combat Knife (Slightly curved than the standard military combat knife, more effective for slicing.)

Personality

Aziz is a modest, respectful, pious soldier. Raised in a house who both believed in faith and science, he is very open to any point of view, religious or otherwise. That being said, he is a devout follower of Terranism and is not likely to change anytime soon. Ever since he was a boy, Aziz wanted to be a defender of Grand Human Union. Learning due to his father's connections, he could be a soldier in the GHU on Ennedi that guards labs and actively participates in research, Aziz didn't hesitate to sign up. He has a fascination with weapon design, from simple melee weapons to the advanced solar weaponry that Ennedi science produces. He guards Ennedi design with a passion, including his own flamethrower, referring to the Flammenwerfer as a "Clunky hunk of metal that just happens to spit out fire."

Aziz is compassionate to soldiers of all planets and often treats visitors with hospitality, soldier or no. But he is wary of the "Other World". Being deployed as one of the first lines of defense when the gate opened, he saw many of his childhood friends die at the hands of the invaders. It sparked hatred in him that he had never known as he set the enemy ablaze without remorse. He sees the gate as a test of faith, a test to all humanity. And what humanity does about this test will reflect it's true nature in the eyes of the Primarch.

Traits

• Basic Ennedi Combat Training
• Loyal Ally- Aziz is loyal to his allies in the end, no matter the cost.
• Improving Weapons Designer- Aziz's interest in weapons is more of a hobby at this point, but he is getting more and more skilled at it.
• Flame Trooper Training- An intense course to test soldier's knowledge of solar and flame technology and strategy, test their physical endurance and resistance to smoke and flame as well as other specialized tests for the role.
• Increasingly Active Smoker- After the multiple battles of the gate, Aziz has began to smoke a pack a week.

History

Aziz was born to a scientist couple in the capital city of Ennedi. He was raised in an environment that encouraged free-thought, but also faith. He grew up hearing stories from his father of the glory of the GHU and its soldiers. His father, a former soldier himself, filled Aziz's imagination with stories of glory and honor, fighting to defend his home. Aziz did fairly well in grade school, excelling in science.And while his parent's relationship was rocky at times, he had a mostly happy childhood. As said before, ever since he was a boy, Aziz wanted to be a defender of Grand Human Union. Learning due to his father's connections, he could be a soldier in the GHU on Ennedi that guards labs and actively participates in research, Aziz didn't hesitate to sign up.

Basic training was a blast for Aziz. He served for 5 months before enrolling in the flame trooper training course. He passed with flying colors. And while there were skirmishes with desert bandits and the occasional dangerous for civilians wildlife, Aziz never really saw true action. Action that would give him a challenge. Until the gate opened up. Aziz was deployed to the front lines immediately, awaiting whatever was coming through that gate. And what did, he had never seen before. It was chaos, and no one was prepared. They had ungodly beasts and ancient weaponry, they came in droves and sliced down one soldier only to be ripped apart by machine gun fire. They were outmatched. But what they lacked in technology, they made up in numbers. They kept coming until they eventually killed someone. Riding in on strange beasts, trampling soldiers to death. All Aziz could do was let his fire rage. After 6 hours of fighting, they finally retreated back into the gate. But not before there were over 200 GHU casualties, some of which were Aziz's close friends. Aziz returned to base with a heavy heart and not soon after learned of the formation of a new unit who was going into the strange land. And Aziz wanted payback.
