RWBY 1X?

STILL OPEN

 

Plot

We will be starting just before the Vytal Festival, while all the students are gathering in Vale. An organization called the Blue Axe is plotting to take down Amity Colosseum. The Blue Axe is an organization that believes unity between the four kingdoms should be destroyed. They are based in Vacuo, and many of their members are from the area. Vacuo had been exploited by the other kingdoms for its rich natural resources, and over-harvesting the land led to extreme environmental degradation, leaving Vacuo as nothing but a sandy wasteland. Now that the other kingdoms are acting all buddy-buddy with the Amity Coliseum and the Vytal Festival, the Blue Axe see it as erasing their history, and they are determined to crush the alliances between the four kingdoms. Even some members of other kingdoms have joined Blue Axe, because their nationalism does not allow for outside influences to meddle in the affairs of their native kingdom. Professor Kim Artis of Shade Academy is the leader of the Blue Axe.

Characters

Username: hjy213

Name: Kim Artis

Age: 47

Gender: Female

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Faunus (Bear)

Theme Color: Yellow

Aura Color and Semblance: Gold. Kim is able to control the gravity of the earth and of objects regardless of their mass.

Appearance: Kim is 5’11” with a somewhat muscular body structure and tanned skin. She has an oblong, oval face with a smooth chin and light brown eyes. Her hair is somewhat wavy and dirty blonde and darker towards the tips, reaching her shoulders. She wears what appears to be yellow dress pants and a white dress shirt that’s tucked into her pants. For shoes, she wears white loafers that have the traction of sneakers. She also has the tail of a bear that’s the same color as her hair.

Personality: Kim is usually a very calm and wise person, acting as an in-school mother for many students of Shade Academy. She has a high tolerance for nonsense, and often enjoys having nonsensical conversations with her students, something she has now become well-known for. She will occasionally flare up, sometimes to quiet others down, sometimes just because she reached her limit. She is also a very nationalistic person, having great pride for her country. Though her lessons are usually from a neutral standpoint, when speaking politics in general during a discussion-based class, her viewpoints are very strong from a Vacuo-centered standpoint.

History: Kim was born in Atlas, where she was often subject to discrimination. While attending Atlas Academy, Kim very specifically avoided revealing her Faunus lineage at the orders of her parents. Upon graduation, Kim decided to work mainly in Vacuo, as she knew Faunus were generally more accepted in the area. She stopped hiding her lineage, and was ecstatic about the fact that the rumors she heard were true. While travelling the area, she read up on the history of Vacuo, and was saddened by its rough history. Upon a meeting with two children who were especially vocal about the exploitation of Vacuo’s resources, Kim decided to become more and more knowledgeable about the subject, and learning more only made her enraged. As her knowledge of the subject was so great, she was invited to teach history at Shade Academy, and it was in the area near Shade Academy that Kim started the Blue Axe with the purpose of ending the so-called unity of the four kingdoms. Using the contacts she gained by travelling the world and Atlas, she quickly made the small Shade Academy-based group a multinational organization. By the time of the upcoming Vytal Festival, Kim felt the Blue Axe was finally ready to act, and recruited students to have more numbers in the festival itself. She hopes to bring down Amity Colosseum to send ripples throughout the four kingdoms with the message that unity is not an ideal.

Weapon Name and Description: Ursa Major - Ursa Major is a pair of metal gauntlets that have claws at the fingertips. The claws are connected to wires that Kim can use for range attacks or other uses. The gauntlets are black while the claws are gold.

Affiliation: Vacuo, Blue Axe (Leader and Founder)

Username: hjy213

Name: Afewerek Isope (Aesop)

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Orientation: Demisexual

Race: Faunus (Lion)

Theme Color: Amber, cardinal red.

Aura Color and Semblance: Amber. Afewerek can summon animals that can do his bidding. The animals are not real, and are more like avatars that are in the color of his Aura.

Appearance: Afewerek is 5’10” with a toned body structure and golden brown skin. He has a narrow, oval face with a smooth chin and black eyes. His hair is curly and black, and cut to a buzzcut. He normally wears cardinal red tight-fitting long-sleeve shirt and amber cargo pants. In hot weather he will wear a t-shirt instead of a long-sleeve shirt. In combat, he just wears red shin guards, red forearm guards, and a simple amber chest plate. In and out of combat he wears black combat boots. Around his neck, he has a pair of aviator goggles. Afewerek also has retractable claws as a lion Faunus.

Personality: Afewerek has a strong sense of justice, often acting as a mediator or the voice of reason in a conflict. If a conflict can be resolved with words, he works hard to do so, but when faced with a conflict that he personally believes cannot be solved so easily, he resorts to using any method, which drives his belief that violence is necessary for ending what he sees to be the poisonous relation of unity between the four kingdoms.

History: Afewerek grew up travelling with his family and family friends, who worked to protect each other from the various dangers of Vacuo. Among this group was Raja’s family, and so he became close friends with Raja. At the age of 9, he and his group of travellers was approached by Kim Artis, who at the time was a travelling scholar/hunstwoman. While the adults spoke amongst themselves of the history of exploitation of Vacuo, Afewerek and Raja, the only children in the group, angrily spoke (albeit with a limited vocabulary) about how terrible it was. Afewerek claimed the unity of the kingdoms was stupid, which sparked an idea with Kim Lavender. Years later, when he was 16, he was approached by Kim Lavender once again, who asked if Afewerek still had the feelings towards the unity that he had seven years prior. Claiming his feelings had not changed, Afewerek was then invited to join the Blue Axe, a group devoted to ending the unity of the kingdoms. Accepting, he got Raja to join as well, the pair deciding to enter Shade Academy so they could take part in Kim’s plan involving Amity Colosseum at the Vytal Festival. Unsure of Mordred or Nestor’s alliances, Afewerek has refrained from recruiting the two.

Weapon Name and Description: Eptá Sofoús - Eptá Sofoús is a spear with a shotel blade and a slightly curved staff, making the whole weapon look almost like an S. The staff has a dial for the use of dust.

Affiliation: AMRN (Amaranth, team leader), Vacuo, Blue Axe

Username: hjy213

Name: Mordred Camlann (Sir Thomas Malory)

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Orientation: Asexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Dark green, mahogany.

Aura Color and Semblance: Dark green. Mordred can manipulate light.

Appearance: Mordred is 5’8” with a toned body structure and pale skin. He has a somewhat small, slightly angular face with a slightly angular chin and green eyes. His hair is light brown and reaches just past his shoulders when let down, but is most often put up in a pony tail. He wears dark green sleeveless shirts and brown tight athletic pants along with a long, brown coat. In combat he wears dark green running shoes, but otherwise wears brown hiking boots.

Personality: Mordred is a charismatic young man, though not incredibly intelligent. He has the charisma and eloquence to come off as intelligent, but doesn’t have the intelligence to back up the facade. He occasionally says some things that are either without common sense, or ridiculous, but because of the confidence he backs his words with, the ridiculousness of his statements are not always realized immediately. Though skilled in battle, Mordred does not do much thinking ahead, making him much more of a soldier than a strategist.

History: Mordred was born in Mistral as the son of aspiring entrepreneurs. Though his parents succeeded, creating a successful weapons-creating business known as Camelot Weapons, Mordred was more disgruntled than happy about the booming business as he wasn’t able to see his parents as often. After graduating Sanctum Academy (a school he attended at the request of his parents to spread the company name), Mordred chose to attend Shade Academy rather than Haven Academy, not wanting to continue being a pawn for the family business. This backfired against him, as his parents were happy with the decision, seeing it as an opportunity to expand their business. Because of this, he refuses to speak with his parents, but actively uses Faehealm, whose design is the logo of Camelot Weapons, as doing so lets him be left alone by his parents.

Weapon Name and Description: Faehealm - Faehealm is a pair of thin, single-edged dual blades that are drawn from the same sheath. The hilts have individual dials so that Mordred can use two different types of dust at the same time.

Name: Raja Nejem (Scheherazade)

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Burgundy, yellow.

Aura Color and Semblance: Burgundy. Raja can delay the senses of a person by one second so they experience things like lagging in a videogame.

Appearance: Raja is 5’4” with a svelte body structure and tawny, yellowish-brown skin. She has a small, oval face with a slightly angular chin and dark brown eyes. Her hair is black and reaches the middle of her back, and is occasionally either put into a side ponytail or braided. She usually wears a flowing, yellow long-sleeve shirt that comes down below her butt and burgundy cargo pants along with black combat boots. She will often wear a brown or yellow beanie and aviator goggles. In combat, she will put on forearm guards much like Afewerek’s but brown.

Personality: Raja is a patient and cunning person, always being one to wait for the right instant to do any plan, significant or not. She is noted to be wise by her peers, and an excellent observer, making her a good strategist. Though a kind person, Raja is not afraid to act ruthless, and is especially adept at cutting off ties with people.

History: Raja grew up travelling with her family and family friends, who worked to protect each other from the various dangers of Vacuo. Among this group was Afewerek’s family, and so she became close friends with Afewerek. At the age of 9, she and her group of travellers was approached by Kim Artis, who at the time was a travelling scholar/hunstwoman. While the adults spoke amongst themselves of the history of exploitation of Vacuo, Afewerek and Raja, the only children in the group, angrily spoke (albeit with a limited vocabulary) about how terrible it was. Raja urged Kim to teach her more of the history, as she was not only an avid reader at the time, but also riled up by the history. Instead leaving Raja with some of her own books, Kim left with an ambiguous “See you later”. Raja very quickly read through the books, hoping to speak with Kim more intelligently later on. She often discussed with Afewerek about what she read, which kept their concern about the subject high even years later, when Kim finally approached Afewerek again. Raja enthusiastically joined the Blue Axe with Afewerek, and was happy that she would also be able to study under Kim again in Shade Academy.

Weapon Name and Description: Nahar and Layl - Nahar and Layl is a yatagan sword, with a pistol handle, the blade being able to adjust so that the sword appears to look like a rifle with a bayonet, but instead a pistol with a bayonet. The sheath has no special properties, though Raja occasionally uses it to guard against attacks.

Username: hjy213

Name: Nestor Dasos (Homer)

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Faunus (Boar)

Theme Color: Grey, black.

Aura Color and Semblance: Coal grey. Nestor can temporarily trick people into letting their guards down by giving a sense of familiarity or congeniality. Though he doesn’t actually appear to be anyone a person knows like with illusions, the person who Nestor uses his Semblance on automatically believes Nestor is a companion, instinctively bringing their guard down. His Semblance is often mistaken to be just like Raja’s, as it occasionally delays movement, but differs in the fact that the delay is caused by an internal conflict with what feels like attacking an ally.

Appearance: Nestor is 6’0” with a muscular build and broad shoulders. He has a rectangular face with a chiseled chin and blue eyes. His hair is dark brown and is slightly long and styled back, while the sides of his head are shaved. Outside combat, Nestor wears grey baggy sweatshirts, black jeans, and black sneakers. In combat, he wears a tight-fitting, grey, long-sleeved shirt instead of a sweatshirt, a large black chestplate, and black forearm guards. His has a short, brown tail that resembles that of a boar.

Personality: Nestor is both careful and arrogant, with a bravado to show off his strength, but measured acts to avoid revealing much about himself. As a confident young man with a  history he deliberately shrouded in mystery, Nestor made a reputation for being an eccentric fellow. In terms of smarts, he is smarter than most, and often enjoys outsmarting opponents who mark him down as all brawns and no brain, something he later uses to lord over the opponent for underestimating him.

History: Nestor grew up in the area around Shade Academy, which was relatively more ordered than the rest of Vacuo. His father was a government official for some time, giving his family some powerful connections. Because of this, Nestor lived a bit more comfortable than most, despite his lineage as a Faunus. However, because his mother came from Vale, which wasn’t as accepting of Faunus as Vacuo is, his family also has ties to the White Fang, a subject of discomfort for Nestor, who supports Faunus rights, but not the methods of the White Fang. While attending Signal Academy, Nestor deliberately hid his tail to avoid revealing the fact that he’s a Faunus, disliking his family’s connection to the White Fang, and planned on doing so again in Shade, but ultimately decided not to, wanting to face the facts rather than run away from them. Despite the change in attitude, however, he has no plans on revealing his family’s allegiance.

Weapon Name and Description: Pétra Dikaiosýni- Pétra Dikaiosýni is a great axe and P90 with a short, six-inch-long handle that also acts as the barrel of the P90 gun. The blades of the great axe act as part of the body of the P90, so Nestor can use it as both an axe and a gun, though not simultaneously.

Username: Silverphoenixx

Name: Ciara Piques

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Black/White. Symbol is an ornate black Ace of Spades.

Aura Color and Semblance: Aura color is black. Semblance is the ability to negate and enhance other semblances.

Appearance: Ciara has long straight black hair which she usually wears down. During combat, she wears a white jacket with black sleeves printed with her symbol and black leggings. Under the jacket is a ribbed black shirt. Her weapon is typically mounted directly over her jacket when not in its sword form, though she does carry two sheaths for her weapon's sword form. The sheaths are white and attached to her belt, next to lots of ammo and dust. She also wears lace up boots which reach up to her knees. Strapped onto her legs above her boots are two belts of dust, asymmetrically arranged.

Personality: Ciara is nothing if not independent. She greatly values her freedom and will fight to ensure it. With that being said, there isn't much Ciara won't fight for. She enjoys the strategy and thrill of a good duel, though she isn't always guaranteed to be a good sport. Although she's technically the leader of Team PPPR, she actually leaves most of the "leading" outside of battle to Coeur, simply butting in occasionally with her opinion when she doesn't like something he's proposed. Sure, she can be a bit impulsive sometimes, but she usually keeps her head enough to at least win any sudden challenges she proposes.

History: Ciara's parents were both Huntsmen, inspiring her to become one too from a young age. As her parents traveled from place to place to complete missions, they took her along with them as a vacation of sorts. However, she was disappointed she wasn't able to watch them fight. When she expressed this, her parents decided to send her to an Academy to train, promising she'd be able to watch them fight after she completed her training.

Weapon Name and Description: Blind Gambit, Two forearm mounted dust projectors with changeable modes and the ability to shoot dust projections in flat rectangle shapes similar to cards (modes are: default, king, queen, jack, and ace). King is high power but slow reload and projectile speed, Queen is fast reload and projectile speed but reduced power, Jack gives the projectiles slight tracking at the cost of both decreased power and reload. Ace overclocks the system and gives high power, high projectile speed, tracking, and fast reload but consumes dust VERY quickly and cannot be sustained. Once Ace is deactivated there is a cooldown time where she cannot shoot her weapon at all. She can also change their forms to become two swords which can also be imbued with dust, usually after she's used Ace.

Username: Silverphoenixx

Name: Couer Penzik

Age: 16 (turning 17 very soon)

Gender: Male

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Reds, blacks and white. Symbol is a red fractured stylized heart (similar to this).

Aura Color and Semblance: Aura color is crimson red. Semblance is the ability to give "buffs" to himself. The effects vary and range from enhancing speed to enhancing power, although they only last a short time before wearing off. They recharge at a decent rate, enough to make sure he never runs out if he continuosly cycles.

Appearance: Couer has wavy dark brown hair that reaches to just above his shoulders. During combat, he wears a crimson jacket with a wide notch lapel accented with black and white. Underneath the jacket, he wears an untucked black t-shirt printed with his symbol. Numerous white leather belts holding various types of dust are haphazardly worn around his waist, above his black trousers. Dust is woven into all of his clothing in geometric shapes, though it's hard to see unless he's manipulating dust or his Aura. He can also change his clothing using the dust woven into it if needed.

Personality: Couer fairly exudes confidence, whether it be quiet or loud. Even if he just failed dramatically, you'll never sense insecurity around him. He can be a bit exasperatingly arrogant at times due to this but he is also surprisingly considerate at other times. His confidence in himself can make him a bit hard to work with, but he still knows when to bend and accept other people's ideas or help. That doesn't mean he won't be a bit playful and make witty remarks, however.

History: Couer is a member of the Penzik triplets along with his siblings Trefoil and Ruiten. Though their personalities may vary wildly, all members of the Penzik family are skilled manipulators of dust. He and his siblings were the very best of their family and trained from a young age to be able to manipulate all varieties of dust, even ones they were unfamiliar with. Like all members of his family, he was expected to develop a specialty, and indeed he was especially skilled in manipulating Fire dust. Once he displayed this talent and passed the traditional family test, he was allowed to go to combat school along with his siblings. At first, they attended an academy in Vacuo, but they eventually transferred to Vale where they forged their own weapons.

 

Couer was often the unofficial leader of things, even from a young age. However, unlike his brother Ruiten, he was a leader because of his mind, not because of his strength. When the triplets transferred from Vacuo to Vale, he had a little bit of difficulty adjusting to a new leader, as he was used to being able to have the last say on things. He still occasionally gets a bit upset, but for the most part he listens to Ciara.

Weapon Name and Description: Sydan Roi, Two medium swords built for speed with guns mounted on one side and at the bottom of the grip. They are loaded via a twist mechanism similar to Trefoil's staff and can also be imbued with dust. Couer makes heavy use of the recoil caused by the guns to increase his speed and power. Although he usually keeps his swords in separate form, he can also combine them into one large sword or a bladed sniper rifle.

Username: Silverphoenixx

Name: Trefoil Penzik

Age: 16 (turning 17 very soon)

Gender: Female

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Greens and white. Symbol is a green three-petaled clover.

Aura Color and Semblance: Aura color is light green. Semblance is the ability to give "buffs" to herself. The effects vary and range from enhancing speed to enhancing power, although they only last a short time before wearing off. They recharge at a decent rate, enough to make sure she never runs out if she continuosly cycles.

Appearance: Trefoil has slightly wavy light brown hair that reaches her waist, even when tied up in a high ponytail like it usually is. During combat, she wears a jade green dress edged with spring green accents and white secondary accents. Her hair is kept back with an accessory resembling a blooming flower, the same purple as the buds on her staff. All of her clothing has dust woven into it in subtle spiral patterns, however the spirals are usually difficult to see unless she's manipulating dust or her Aura. If needed, she can also change her clothing using the dust woven into it.

Personality: Trefoil is relatively gentle and graceful, but that doesn't mean she won't go out and destroy Grimm. She can be unusually passionate about some things, yet be incredibly shy and unsure about others at the same time. She's smart, but not in quite the same "sharp" strategist way as Ciara and Couer. Instead, she knows more about subjects not directly related to combat, such as history.

History: Trefoil is a member of the Penzik triplets along with her brothers Couer and Ruiten. Though their personalities may vary wildly, all members of the Penzik family are skilled manipulators of dust. She and her brothers were the very best of their family and trained from a young age to be able to manipulate all varieties of dust, even ones they were unfamiliar with. Like all members of her family, she was expected to develop a specialty, and indeed she was especially skilled in manipulating Earth dust. Once she displayed this talent and passed the traditional family test, she was allowed to go to combat school along with her brothers. At first, they attended an academy in Vacuo, but they eventually transferred to Vale where they forged their own weapons.

 

As a child, her family never expected Trefoil to become skilled in combat. Although they never went as far as designating her the most likely to fail, they thought she would be too gentle for fighting and instead pursue art. However, she surprised them with her skill in manipulating dust and quickly got the hang of all her lessons. She still loves to draw and sometimes spends hours at a canvas painting the scenery.

Weapon Name and Description: Trèfle Reine, A staff with what appears to be a large flower bud on one end and a smaller one on the other end. She can twist open the middle of the staff to reveal a dust cartridge holder, here she can load dust in her staff to empower her staff with various effects.The flower buds can also act as grappling hooks and extend to "punch" things. When needed, she can also transform the staff into a bow and materialize dust arrows to fire at things.

Name: Ruiten Penzik

Age: 16 (turning 17 very soon)

Gender: Male

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Blues and white. Symbol is a blue diamond shape.

Aura Color and Semblance: Aura is blue. Semblance is the ability to give "buffs" to himself. The effects vary and range from enhancing speed to enhancing power, although they only last a short time before wearing off. They recharge at a decent rate, enough to make sure he never runs out if he continuosly cycles.

Appearance: Appearance-wise, Ruiten is similar to Couer but more heavily built and slightly taller. He also wears reinforced glasses but can still see without them. During combat, he wears several pieces of white armor edged with blue. Beneath the armor, glimpses of black, white and blue fabric can be seen, though most of it is covered by the armor plates. All of his armor is infused with dust, though it's impossible to tell unless he manipulates dust or his Aura.

Personality: Ruiten is reserved, mostly preferring to tinker by himself. He doesn't have any objections to talking but usually doesn't have much to say. Though he usually becomes the brute strength of the team during battle, it doesn't mean he can't strategize by himself. It simply means he's the only real hard hitter available. Despite his sturdy build, he is surprisingly fast. Although he is usually calm and focused enough not to fall for taunting, the right remarks can send him charging blindly into battle.

History: Ruiten is a member of the Penzik triplets along with his siblings Couer and Trefoil. Though their personalities may vary wildly, all members of the Penzik family are skilled manipulators of dust. He and his siblings were the very best of their family and trained from a young age to be able to manipulate all varieties of dust, even ones they were unfamiliar with. Like all members of his family, he was expected to develop a specialty, and indeed he was especially skilled in manipulating Water dust. Once he displayed this talent and passed the traditional family test, he was allowed to go to combat school along with his siblings. At first, they attended an academy in Vacuo, but they eventually transferred to Vale where they forged their own weapons.

 

Ruiten had always had a knack for tinkering, although his relatively reserved nature made it so that he often didn't get recognition for it. Secretly, he was the happiest out of the triplets when they transferred to Vale because he knew that there would be plenty of materials for him to work with. He was right, and his skill increased dramatically. Due to his surprising expertise in weapon and armor crafting, he has aided in the creation and repair of most of the team's weapons.

Weapon Name and Description: Carreaux Valet, A two-handed sword with a hand guard which transforms into two maces. The maces can also be transformed into flails with grappling hook functions. The weapon can be infused with dust by opening a compartment and inserting dust into it.

Aura Colour and Semblance: White - Can produce domed barriers that can be enhanced with dust.

Appearance: Very tall 207cm. Looks chubby due to thick grey parker but actually quite well built, dark grey scarf. He has white hair, pale skin and a grey bear beanie to hide his actual bear ears.

Personality: Calm, collected and a little shy, beely has a natural slump due to his embarrassment at his height. While shy on first impressions he relaxes much more around people he knows and in combat keeps a level head. He hides the fact that he is a Faunus to avoid prejudice.

History: raised in an orphanage with many other children Beely was bullied for his Faunus heritage to the extent of physical beatings. Due to his heritage and the belief that he frequently got into fights he was never adopted and thus became a permanent resident. After hiding his traits and growing several feet taller than the rest of the children he grew more confident and one day shielded a fellow Faunus from bullying. It was then that his carers prompted him to go train to be a huntsman.

Weapon Name and Description: Arkticheskiy Kogti – Four retractable blades over each knuckle on metal frames over his gloves, each is connected to cables attached to a mechanism on his lower back.

Name: Nijimei (Niji) Africanus

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Orientation: Gay as a rainbow

Race: Human

Theme Color: Rainbow!

Aura Color and Semblance: Bright Green – She can produce a spectral serpant that she can control, the serpant is very large being a foot in diameter and being up to 5m long, though the bigger it is the more stamina it drains. It can also be enhanced with the varying dust supplies Niji uses.

Appearance: 178cm, blonde roots in her hair which is long and dyed like a rainbow, starting at green and kept in a braid that both circles her head and hangs down. She wears a golden wreath around her forehead to keep her hair in check. Her standard attire looks very much like a centurions attire with a silver breastplate, bracers and leg guards all lined with gold. She also has a red skirt that reaches the middle of her thighs with a similarly red metal chain skirt over it, hanging further on her right side than her left.

Personality: Very open and friendly Niji doesn’t care for prejudice and aspires to be a hero like her idle the warrior Pyrrha who she admires to a frightening degree. She has often been likened to the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow due to how bright and sincere she is.

History: Born and raised in atlas from a young age Niji admired the girl, not much older than her Pyrrah who successfully competed against older enemies in tournaments, thus Niji dedicated herself to becoming a capable warrior and a symbol of honour and decency like her idle, qualifying for Atlas so she could do her part.

Weapon Name and Description: Chroma Phalanx – a long 2m spear, the blade at the end is forked with a narrow channel in the middle. The entire length of the spear has vials of dust stored inside of it, giving it a rainbow appearance. The vials can be moved up and down the spear with the one at the head being channelled through the channel. Whats more the spear can extended much further, doubling in length becoming a whip, in this state several smaller blades come out in increments (4 per increment, north, south, east, west) and are all effected by the dust inside, creating a wide array of elemental attacks.

She also has a large rectangle shield (a meter tall) with the same colour as her armour

Username: Marcus Pheonix

Name: Kurota Jade (born Silhouette Talon)

Age: 20

Gender: Male (born Female)

Orientation: Bi

Race: Human

Theme Color: Black

Aura Color and Semblance: Black – Kurota can enter shadows and travel through them at high speed. If the shadow he’s in disappears (i.e a torch gets shined on it) Kurota will get ejected.

Appearance:176cm, Kurota has very wild spiky black hair and green eyes. Kurota wears a black hoodie, black cargo pants and black boots, he also has a pair of black gloves in his belt. He has a tracking anklet on his right leg.

Personality: Very sly and smarmy, is quite open and blunt but undeniably cunning and intelligent. Kurota is a born kleptomaniac and people around him frequently find things missing. On the battlefield he is very intelligent and somewhat (if rightfully so) overconfident in his abilities. He doesn’t care for authority and is openly proud about his criminal history. He does however, keep his gender secret. Is a skilled engineer and strategist and believes that he should have been made the leader of team BLNC

History: Her parents were hunters who died on duty, leaving Silhouette to be raised by her uncle Jeremy Talon. However, Talon an officer of the Atlus military was never around, only ever seeing Silhouette late at night. Due to the neglect silhouette turned to crime and found that she was good at it. Under the generals nose she planned and carried out heists each getting more and more daring, taking on the name of the Jade as her first big heist was a priceless Jade dragon statue. Once at 20, Silhouette had left her uncles home and had fully taken up the identity of Kurota, he carried out a big heist, only to be tagged by two hunters hired due to the belief that the Jade would hit the treasure. Kurota was ambushed back in his home and promptly arrested and taken to Talon. Realising that his niece’s life of crime was partly his fault decided to force Kurota to attend atlus academy and work to become a huntsman. Though not entirely trusting that Kurota won't return to a life of crime, Talon had a tracking anklet placed on Kurota, that would identify his location at all times, whats more the anklet can produce a small but painful shock via remote if Kurota ever goes out of line.

Weapon Name and Description: The Shadow – a self-made ebony, carbon fiber chest plate that Kurota wears 24/7. It has a central dust power supply on the back and can telescope outwards to completely cover Kurota's arms and hands. The suit itself also gives Kurota enhanced strength. The palm of each hand is a blaster that can launch out electric dust blasts. Kurota can clap his hands together and press the two half-moon shaped blasters together, prompting the mechanism on his arms to connect them together, forming a high powered railgun capable of firing a single supercharged shot, however, after firing Kurota’s suit loses its ability to fire blasters until either the dust is directly changed or the suit does it itself (slower).

Kurota has also tampered with the circuitry of his tracking anklet, grounding the discharge so that if he were to get zapped it would instead be stored in a battery and allow for kurota to give electrified kicks.

Name: Kim Artis

Age: 47

Gender: Female

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Faunus (Bear)

Theme Color: Yellow

Aura Color and Semblance: Gold. Kim is able to control the gravity of the earth and of objects regardless of their mass.

Appearance: Kim is 5’11” with a somewhat muscular body structure and tanned skin. She has an oblong, oval face with a smooth chin and light brown eyes. Her hair is somewhat wavy and dirty blonde and darker towards the tips, reaching her shoulders. She wears what appears to be yellow dress pants and a white dress shirt that’s tucked into her pants. For shoes, she wears white loafers that have the traction of sneakers. She also has the tail of a bear that’s the same color as her hair.

Personality: Kim is usually a very calm and wise person, acting as an in-school mother for many students of Shade Academy. She has a high tolerance for nonsense, and often enjoys having nonsensical conversations with her students, something she has now become well-known for. She will occasionally flare up, sometimes to quiet others down, sometimes just because she reached her limit. She is also a very nationalistic person, having great pride for her country. Though her lessons are usually from a neutral standpoint, when speaking politics in general during a discussion-based class, her viewpoints are very strong from a Vacuo-centered standpoint.

History: Kim was born in Atlas, where she was often subject to discrimination. While attending Atlas Academy, Kim very specifically avoided revealing her Faunus lineage at the orders of her parents. Upon graduation, Kim decided to work mainly in Vacuo, as she knew Faunus were generally more accepted in the area. She stopped hiding her lineage, and was ecstatic about the fact that the rumors she heard were true. While travelling the area, she read up on the history of Vacuo, and was saddened by its rough history. Upon a meeting with two children who were especially vocal about the exploitation of Vacuo’s resources, Kim decided to become more and more knowledgeable about the subject, and learning more only made her enraged. As her knowledge of the subject was so great, she was invited to teach history at Shade Academy, and it was in the area near Shade Academy that Kim started the Blue Axe with the purpose of ending the so-called unity of the four kingdoms. Using the contacts she gained by travelling the world and Atlas, she quickly made the small Shade Academy-based group a multinational organization. By the time of the upcoming Vytal Festival, Kim felt the Blue Axe was finally ready to act, and recruited students to have more numbers in the festival itself. She hopes to bring down Amity Colosseum to send ripples throughout the four kingdoms with the message that unity is not an ideal.

Weapon Name and Description: Ursa Major - Ursa Major is a pair of metal gauntlets that have claws at the fingertips. The claws are connected to wires that Kim can use for range attacks or other uses. The gauntlets are black while the claws are gold.

Username: hjy213

Name: Afewerek Isope (Aesop)

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Orientation: Demisexual

Race: Faunus (Lion)

Theme Color: Amber, cardinal red.

Aura Color and Semblance: Amber. Afewerek can summon animals that can do his bidding. The animals are not real, and are more like avatars that are in the color of his aura.

Appearance: Afewerek is 5’10” with a toned body structure and golden brown skin. He has a narrow, oval face with a smooth chin and black eyes. His hair is curly and black, and cut to a buzzcut. He normally wears cardinal red tight-fitting long-sleeve shirt and amber cargo pants. In hot weather he will wear a t-shirt instead of a long-sleeve shirt. In combat, he just wears red shin guards, red forearm guards, and a simple amber chest plate. In and out of combat he wears black combat boots. Around his neck, he has a pair of aviator goggles. Afewerek also has retractable claws as a lion Faunus.

Personality: Afewerek has a strong sense of justice, often acting as a mediator or the voice of reason in a conflict. If a conflict can be resolved with words, he works hard to do so, but when faced with a conflict that he personally believes cannot be solved so easily, he resorts to using any method, which drives his belief that violence is necessary for ending what he sees to be the poisonous relation of unity between the four kingdoms.

History: Afewerek grew up travelling with his family and family friends, who worked to protect each other from the various dangers of Vacuo. Among this group was Raja’s family, and so he became close friends with Raja. At the age of 9, he and his group of travellers was approached by Kim Artis, who at the time was a travelling scholar/hunstwoman. While the adults spoke amongst themselves of the history of exploitation of Vacuo, Afewerek and Raja, the only children in the group, angrily spoke (albeit with a limited vocabulary) about how terrible it was. Afewerek claimed the unity of the kingdoms was stupid, which sparked an idea with Kim Lavender. Years later, when he was 16, he was approached by Kim Lavender once again, who asked if Afewerek still had the feelings towards the unity that he had seven years prior. Claiming his feelings had not changed, Afewerek was then invited to join the Blue Axe, a group devoted to ending the unity of the kingdoms. Accepting, he got Raja to join as well, the pair deciding to enter Shade Academy so they could take part in Kim’s plan involving Amity Colosseum at the Vytal Festival. Unsure of Mordred or Nestor’s alliances, Afewerek has refrained from recruiting the two.

Weapon Name and Description: Eptá Sofoús - Eptá Sofoús is a spear with a shotel blade and a slightly curved staff, making the whole weapon look almost like an S. The staff has a dial for the use of dust.

Name: Mordred Camlann (Sir Thomas Malory)

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Orientation: Asexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Dark green, mahogany.

Aura Color and Semblance: Dark green. Mordred can manipulate light.

Appearance: Mordred is 5’8” with a toned body structure and pale skin. He has a somewhat small, slightly angular face with a slightly angular chin and green eyes. His hair is light brown and reaches just past his shoulders when let down, but is most often put up in a pony tail. He wears dark green sleeveless shirts and brown tight athletic pants along with a long, brown coat. In combat he wears dark green running shoes, but otherwise wears brown hiking boots.

Personality: Mordred is a charismatic young man, though not incredibly intelligent. He has the charisma and eloquence to come off as intelligent, but doesn’t have the intelligence to back up the facade. He occasionally says some things that are either without common sense, or ridiculous, but because of the confidence he backs his words with, the ridiculousness of his statements are not always realized immediately. Though skilled in battle, Mordred does not do much thinking ahead, making him much more of a soldier than a strategist.

History: Mordred was born in Mistral as the son of aspiring entrepreneurs. Though his parents succeeded, creating a successful weapons-creating business known as Camelot Weapons, Mordred was more disgruntled than happy about the booming business as he wasn’t able to see his parents as often. After graduating Sanctum Academy (a school he attended at the request of his parents to spread the company name), Mordred chose to attend Shade Academy rather than Haven Academy, not wanting to continue being a pawn for the family business. This backfired against him, as his parents were happy with the decision, seeing it as an opportunity to expand their business. Because of this, he refuses to speak with his parents, but actively uses Faehealm, whose design is the logo of Camelot Weapons, as doing so lets him be left alone by his parents.

Weapon Name and Description: Faehealm - Faehealm is a pair of thin, single-edged dual blades that are drawn from the same sheath. The hilts have individual dials so that Mordred can use two different types of dust at the same time.

Name: Raja Nejem (Scheherazade)

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Burgundy, yellow.

Aura Color and Semblance: Burgundy. Raja can delay the senses of a person by one second so they experience things like lagging in a videogame.

Appearance: Raja is 5’4” with a svelte body structure and tawny, yellowish-brown skin. She has a small, oval face with a slightly angular chin and dark brown eyes. Her hair is black and reaches the middle of her back, and is occasionally either put into a side ponytail or braided. She usually wears a flowing, yellow long-sleeve shirt that comes down below her butt and burgundy cargo pants along with black combat boots. She will often wear a brown or yellow beanie and aviator goggles. In combat, she will put on forearm guards much like Afewerek’s but brown.

Personality: Raja is a patient and cunning person, always being one to wait for the right instant to do any plan, significant or not. She is noted to be wise by her peers, and an excellent observer, making her a good strategist. Though a kind person, Raja is not afraid to act ruthless, and is especially adept at cutting off ties with people.

History: Raja grew up travelling with her family and family friends, who worked to protect each other from the various dangers of Vacuo. Among this group was Afewerek’s family, and so she became close friends with Afewerek. At the age of 9, she and her group of travellers was approached by Kim Artis, who at the time was a travelling scholar/hunstwoman. While the adults spoke amongst themselves of the history of exploitation of Vacuo, Afewerek and Raja, the only children in the group, angrily spoke (albeit with a limited vocabulary) about how terrible it was. Raja urged Kim to teach her more of the history, as she was not only an avid reader at the time, but also riled up by the history. Instead leaving Raja with some of her own books, Kim left with an ambiguous “See you later”. Raja very quickly read through the books, hoping to speak with Kim more intelligently later on. She often discussed with Afewerek about what she read, which kept their concern about the subject high even years later, when Kim finally approached Afewerek again. Raja enthusiastically joined the Blue Axe with Afewerek, and was happy that she would also be able to study under Kim again in Shade Academy.

Weapon Name and Description: Nahar and Layl - Nahar and Layl is a yatagan sword, with a pistol handle, the blade being able to adjust so that the sword appears to look like a rifle with a bayonet, but instead a pistol with a bayonet. The sheath has no special properties, though Raja occasionally uses it to guard against attacks.

Name: Nestor Dasos (Homer)

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Faunus (Boar)

Theme Color: Grey, black.

Aura Color and Semblance: Coal grey. Nestor can temporarily trick people into letting their guards down by giving a sense of familiarity or congeniality. Though he doesn’t actually appear to be anyone a person knows like with illusions, the person who Nestor uses his semblance on automatically believes Nestor is a companion, instinctively bringing their guard down. His semblance is often mistaken to be just like Raja’s, as it occasionally delays movement, but differs in the fact that the delay is caused by an internal conflict with what feels like attacking an ally.

Appearance: Nestor is 6’0” with a muscular build and broad shoulders. He has a rectangular face with a chiseled chin and blue eyes. His hair is dark brown and is slightly long and styled back, while the sides of his head are shaved. Outside combat, Nestor wears grey baggy sweatshirts, black jeans, and black sneakers. In combat, he wears a tight-fitting, grey, long-sleeved shirt instead of a sweatshirt, a large black chestplate, and black forearm guards. His has a short, brown tail that resembles that of a boar.

Personality: Nestor is both careful and arrogant, with a bravado to show off his strength, but measured acts to avoid revealing much about himself. As a confident young man with a history he deliberately shrouded in mystery, Nestor made a reputation for being an eccentric fellow. In terms of smarts, he is smarter than most, and often enjoys outsmarting opponents who mark him down as all brawns and no brain, something he later uses to lord over the opponent for underestimating him.

History: Nestor grew up in the area around Shade Academy, which was relatively more ordered than the rest of Vacuo. His father was a government official for some time, giving his family some powerful connections. Because of this, Nestor lived a bit more comfortable than most, despite his lineage as a Faunus. However, because his mother came from Vale, which wasn’t as accepting of Faunus as Vacuo is, his family also has ties to the White Fang, a subject of discomfort for Nestor, who supports Faunus rights, but not the methods of the White Fang. While attending Signal Academy, Nestor deliberately hid his tail to avoid revealing the fact that he’s a Faunus, disliking his family’s connection to the White Fang, and planned on doing so again in Shade, but ultimately decided not to, wanting to face the facts rather than run away from them. Despite the change in attitude, however, he has no plans on revealing his family’s allegiance.

Weapon Name and Description: Pétra Dikaiosýni- Pétra Dikaiosýni is a great axe and P90 with a short, six-inch-long handle that also acts as the barrel of the P90 gun. The blades of the great axe act as part of the body of the P90, so Nestor can use it as both an axe and a gun, though not simultaneously.

[Lemniscate]

This took forever... ;-;

I'm not even done yet, I'm stuck on the Semblances. Also, is it okay if I have the team's weapons get modified sometime later?

Please give me feedback on how obvious my team theme is!

 

Username: Silverphoenixx

Name: Ciara Piques

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Black/White. Symbol is an ornate black Ace of Spades.

Aura Color and Semblance: Aura color is black. Semblance is the ability to negate and enhance other semblances.

Appearance: Ciara has long straight black hair which she usually wears down. During combat, she wears a white jacket with black sleeves printed with her symbol and black leggings. Under the jacket is a ribbed black shirt. Her weapon is typically mounted directly over her jacket when not in its sword form, though she does carry two sheaths for her weapon's sword form. The sheaths are white and attached to her belt, next to lots of ammo and dust. She also wears lace up boots which reach up to her knees. Strapped onto her legs above her boots are two belts of dust, asymmetrically arranged.

Personality: Ciara is nothing if not independent. She greatly values her freedom and will fight to ensure it. With that being said, there isn't much Ciara won't fight for. She enjoys the strategy and thrill of a good duel, though she isn't always guaranteed to be a good sport. Although she's technically the leader of Team PPPR, she actually leaves most of the "leading" outside of battle to Coeur, simply butting in occasionally with her opinion when she doesn't like something he's proposed. Sure, she can be a bit impulsive sometimes, but she usually keeps her head enough to at least win any sudden challenges she proposes.

History: Ciara's parents were both Huntsmen, inspiring her to become one too from a young age. As her parents traveled from place to place to complete missions, they took her along with them as a vacation of sorts. However, she was disappointed she wasn't able to watch them fight. When she expressed this, her parents decided to send her to an Academy to train, promising she'd be able to watch them fight after she completed her training.

Weapon Name and Description: Blind Gambit, Two forearm mounted dust projectors with changeable modes and the ability to shoot dust projections in flat rectangle shapes similar to cards (modes are: default, king, queen, jack, and ace). King is high power but slow reload and projectile speed, Queen is fast reload and projectile speed but reduced power, Jack gives the projectiles slight tracking at the cost of both decreased power and reload. Ace overclocks the system and gives high power, high projectile speed, tracking, and fast reload but consumes dust VERY quickly and cannot be sustained. Once Ace is deactivated there is a cooldown time where she cannot shoot her weapon at all. She can also change their forms to become two swords which can also be imbued with dust, usually after she's used Ace.

Username: Silverphoenixx

Name: Couer Penzik

Age: 16 (turning 17 very soon)

Gender: Male

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Reds, blacks and white. Symbol is a red fractured stylized heart (similar to this).

Aura Color and Semblance: Aura color is crimson red. Semblance is the ability to give "buffs" to himself. The effects vary and range from enhancing speed to enhancing power, although they only last a short time before wearing off. They recharge at a decent rate, enough to make sure he never runs out if he continuosly cycles.

Appearance: Couer has wavy dark brown hair that reaches to just above his shoulders. During combat, he wears a crimson jacket with a wide notch lapel accented with black and white. Underneath the jacket, he wears an untucked black t-shirt printed with his symbol. Numerous white leather belts holding various types of dust are haphazardly worn around his waist, above his black trousers. Dust is woven into all of his clothing in geometric shapes, though it's hard to see unless he's manipulating dust or his Aura. He can also change his clothing using the dust woven into it if needed.

Personality: Couer fairly exudes confidence, whether it be quiet or loud. Even if he just failed dramatically, you'll never sense insecurity around him. He can be a bit exasperatingly arrogant at times due to this but he is also surprisingly considerate at other times. His confidence in himself can make him a bit hard to work with, but he still knows when to bend and accept other people's ideas or help. That doesn't mean he won't be a bit playful and make witty remarks, however.

History: Couer is a member of the Penzik triplets along with his siblings Trefoil and Ruiten. Though their personalities may vary wildly, all members of the Penzik family are skilled manipulators of dust. He and his siblings were the very best of their family and trained from a young age to be able to manipulate all varieties of dust, even ones they were unfamiliar with. Like all members of his family, he was expected to develop a specialty, and indeed he was especially skilled in manipulating Fire dust. Once he displayed this talent and passed the traditional family test, he was allowed to go to combat school along with his siblings. At first, they attended an academy in Vacuo, but they eventually transferred to Vale where they forged their own weapons.

 

Couer was often the unofficial leader of things, even from a young age. However, unlike his brother Ruiten, he was a leader because of his mind, not because of his strength. When the triplets transferred from Vacuo to Vale, he had a little bit of difficulty adjusting to a new leader, as he was used to being able to have the last say on things. He still occasionally gets a bit upset, but for the most part he listens to Ciara.

Weapon Name and Description: Sydan Roi, Two medium swords built for speed with guns mounted on one side and at the bottom of the grip. They are loaded via a twist mechanism similar to Trefoil's staff and can also be imbued with dust. Couer makes heavy use of the recoil caused by the guns to increase his speed and power. Although he usually keeps his swords in separate form, he can also combine them into one large sword or a bladed sniper rifle.

Name: Trefoil Penzik

Age: 16 (turning 17 very soon)

Gender: Female

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Greens and white. Symbol is a green three-petaled clover.

Aura Color and Semblance: Aura color is light green. Semblance is the ability to give "buffs" to herself. The effects vary and range from enhancing speed to enhancing power, although they only last a short time before wearing off. They recharge at a decent rate, enough to make sure she never runs out if she continuosly cycles.

Appearance: Trefoil has slightly wavy light brown hair that reaches her waist, even when tied up in a high ponytail like it usually is. During combat, she wears a jade green dress edged with spring green accents and white secondary accents. Her hair is kept back with an accessory resembling a blooming flower, the same purple as the buds on her staff. All of her clothing has dust woven into it in subtle spiral patterns, however the spirals are usually difficult to see unless she's manipulating dust or her Aura. If needed, she can also change her clothing using the dust woven into it.

Personality: Trefoil is relatively gentle and graceful, but that doesn't mean she won't go out and destroy Grimm. She can be unusually passionate about some things, yet be incredibly shy and unsure about others at the same time. She's smart, but not in quite the same "sharp" strategist way as Ciara and Couer. Instead, she knows more about subjects not directly related to combat, such as history.

History: Trefoil is a member of the Penzik triplets along with her brothers Couer and Ruiten. Though their personalities may vary wildly, all members of the Penzik family are skilled manipulators of dust. She and her brothers were the very best of their family and trained from a young age to be able to manipulate all varieties of dust, even ones they were unfamiliar with. Like all members of her family, she was expected to develop a specialty, and indeed she was especially skilled in manipulating Earth dust. Once she displayed this talent and passed the traditional family test, she was allowed to go to combat school along with her brothers. At first, they attended an academy in Vacuo, but they eventually transferred to Vale where they forged their own weapons.

 

As a child, her family never expected Trefoil to become skilled in combat. Although they never went as far as designating her the most likely to fail, they thought she would be too gentle for fighting and instead pursue art. However, she surprised them with her skill in manipulating dust and quickly got the hang of all her lessons. She still loves to draw and sometimes spends hours at a canvas painting the scenery.

Weapon Name and Description: Trèfle Reine, A staff with what appears to be a large flower bud on one end and a smaller one on the other end. She can twist open the middle of the staff to reveal a dust cartridge holder, here she can load dust in her staff to empower her staff with various effects.The flower buds can also act as grappling hooks and extend to "punch" things. When needed, she can also transform the staff into a bow and materialize dust arrows to fire at things.

Age: 16 (turning 17 very soon)

Gender: Male

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Human

Theme Color: Blues and white. Symbol is a blue diamond shape.

Aura Color and Semblance: Aura is blue. Semblance is the ability to give "buffs" to himself. The effects vary and range from enhancing speed to enhancing power, although they only last a short time before wearing off. They recharge at a decent rate, enough to make sure he never runs out if he continuosly cycles.

Appearance: Appearance-wise, Ruiten is similar to Couer but more heavily built and slightly taller. He also wears reinforced glasses but can still see without them. During combat, he wears several pieces of white armor edged with blue. Beneath the armor, glimpses of black, white and blue fabric can be seen, though most of it is covered by the armor plates. All of his armor is infused with dust, though it's impossible to tell unless he manipulates dust or his Aura.

Personality: Ruiten is reserved, mostly preferring to tinker by himself. He doesn't have any objections to talking but usually doesn't have much to say. Though he usually becomes the brute strength of the team during battle, it doesn't mean he can't strategize by himself. It simply means he's the only real hard hitter available. Despite his sturdy build, he is surprisingly fast. Although he is usually calm and focused enough not to fall for taunting, the right remarks can send him charging blindly into battle.

History: Ruiten is a member of the Penzik triplets along with his siblings Couer and Trefoil. Though their personalities may vary wildly, all members of the Penzik family are skilled manipulators of dust. He and his siblings were the very best of their family and trained from a young age to be able to manipulate all varieties of dust, even ones they were unfamiliar with. Like all members of his family, he was expected to develop a specialty, and indeed he was especially skilled in manipulating Water dust. Once he displayed this talent and passed the traditional family test, he was allowed to go to combat school along with his siblings. At first, they attended an academy in Vacuo, but they eventually transferred to Vale where they forged their own weapons.

 

Ruiten had always had a knack for tinkering, although his relatively reserved nature made it so that he often didn't get recognition for it. Secretly, he was the happiest out of the triplets when they transferred to Vale because he knew that there would be plenty of materials for him to work with. He was right, and his skill increased dramatically. Due to his surprising expertise in weapon and armor crafting, he has aided in the creation and repair of most of the team's weapons.

Weapon Name and Description: Carreaux Valet, A two-handed sword with a hand guard which transforms into two maces. The maces can also be transformed into flails with grappling hook functions. The weapon can be infused with dust by opening a compartment and inserting dust into it.

Due to his heritage and the belief that he frequently got into fights he was never adopted and thus became a permanent resident.

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Orientation: Gay as a rainbow

Race: Human

Theme Color: Rainbow!

Aura Color and Semblance: Bright Green – She can produce a spectral serpant that she can control, the serpant is very large being a foot in diameter and being up to 5m long, though the bigger it is the more stamina it drains. It can also be enhanced with the varying dust supplies Niji uses.

She wears a golden wreath around her forehead to keep her hair in check. Her standard attire looks very much like a centurions attire with a silver breastplate, bracers and leg guards all lined with gold. She also has a red skirt that reaches the middle of her thighs though hangs lower on her right side with a similarly red chain skirt beneath it.

Personality: Very open and friendly Niji doesn’t care for prejudice and aspires to be a hero like her idle the warrior Pyrrha who she admires to a frightening degree. She has often been likened to the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow due to how bright and sincere she is.

History: Born and raised in atlas from a young age Niji admired the girl, not much older than her Pyrrah who successfully competed against older enemies in tournaments, thus Niji dedicated herself to becoming a capable warrior and a symbol of honour and decency like her idle, qualifying for Atlas so she could do her part.

Weapon Name and Description: Chroma Phalanx – a long 2m spear, the blade at the end is forked with a narrow channel in the middle. The entire length of the spear has vials of dust stored inside of it, giving it a rainbow appearance. The vials can be moved up and down the spear with the one at the head being channelled through the channel. Whats more the spear can extended much further, doubling in length becoming a whip, in this state several smaller blades come out in increments (4 per increment, north, south, east, west) and are all effected by the dust inside, creating a wide array of elemental attacks.

She also has a large rectangle shield (a meter tall) with the same colour as her armour

Username: Marcus Pheonix

Name: Kurota Jade (born Silhouette Talon)

Age: 20

Gender: Male (born Female)

Orientation: Bi

Race: Human

Theme Color: Black

Aura Color and Semblance: Black – Kurota can enter shadows and travel through them at high speed. If the shadow he’s in disappears (i.e a torch gets shined on it) Kurota will get ejected.

Appearance:176cm, Kurota has very wild spiky black hair and green eyes. Kurota wears a black hoodie, black cargo pants and black boots, he also has a pair of black gloves in his belt. He has a tracking anklet on his right leg He wears his very dark purple chestplate at all times..

Personality: Very sly and smarmy, is quite open and blunt but undeniably cunning and intelligent. Kurota is a born kleptomaniac and people around him frequently find things missing. On the battlefield he is very intelligent and somewhat (if rightfully so) overconfident in his abilities. He doesn’t care for authority and is openly proud about his criminal history. He does however, keep his gender secret. Is a skilled engineer and strategist and believes that he should have been made the leader of team BLNC

History: Her parents were hunters who died on duty, leaving Silhouette to be raised by her uncle Jeremy Talon. However, Talon an officer of the Atlus military was never around, only ever seeing Silhouette late at night. Due to the neglect silhouette turned to crime and found that she was good at it. Under the generals nose she planned and carried out heists each getting more and more daring, taking on the name of the Jade as her first big heist was a priceless Jade dragon statue. Once at 20, Silhouette had left her uncles home and had fully taken up the identity of Kurota, he carried out a big heist, only to be tagged by two hunters hired due to the belief that the Jade would hit the treasure. Kurota was ambushed back in his home and promptly arrested and taken to Talon. Realising that his niece’s life of crime was partly his fault decided to force Kurota to attend atlus academy and work to become a huntsman. Though not entirely trusting that Kurota won't return to a life of crime, Talon had a tracking anklet placed on Kurota, that would identify his location at all times, whats more the anklet can produce a small but painful shock via remote if Kurota ever goes out of line.

Weapon Name and Description: The Shadow – a self-made ebony, carbon fiber chest plate that Kurota wears 24/7. It has a central dust power supply on the back and can telescope outwards to completely cover Kurota's arms and hands. The suit itself also gives Kurota enhanced strength. The palm of each hand is a blaster that can launch out electric dust blasts. Kurota can clap his hands together and press the two half-moon shaped blasters together, prompting the mechanism on his arms to connect them together, forming a high powered railgun capable of firing a single supercharged shot, however, after firing Kurota’s suit loses its ability to fire blasters until either the dust is directly changed or the suit does it itself (slower).

Kurota has also tampered with the circuitry of his tracking anklet, grounding the discharge so that if he were to get zapped it would instead be stored in a battery and allow for kurota to give electrified kicks.

This is my OC team I've had for a while, let me know if there are problems. Also I realise Beely and Kim's weapons are similar as well as Mordred and Lyle sharing light manipulation, I've tried to alter them a bit to make them different enough.

There are some problems I see with your characters' Semblances, actually. It doesn't matter if they're similar or anything, but I don't think they should be able to take on elemental properties on their own without the use of Dust. Also Lilac's Semblance is a little unclear. What do you mean by "anything his aura is projected on"? Aura is basically just a force field around people that can also give them a special power. I don't think you can project it anywhere, unless that's part of your Semblance. Beely's name also doesn't seem to be color-related, which is a rule in the RWBY universe. All names have to have some connection to a color. Lastly, I'd like for this RP to be separate from canon in the sense that no canon characters will come into play, and Kurota being related to General Ironwood will have defeated the purpose of keeping things separate. That's not to say that we won't be interacting with canon characters at all; I'd just like to make a plot that's as independent as possible.

[Lemniscate]

Oh I've been meaning to ask, hyj213 is it ok if I make two characters who assist Kim kinda like Emerald and Mercury or Melanie and Militia?

[hjy213]

Yeah sure. Could you pm me specifics?

[halfsourpickle]

OK, so Beely's name is fine since it's derived from the Russian word for "white".

 

Both the Semblances of Beely and Niji, however, can only have elemental aspects derived from Dust. It's not about whether or not you want the Semblances to be Dust-based; it's that they have to be Dust-based. That's how the world of Remnant works. Dust enhances the Semblances so they can do elemental stuff. The Semblances of your characters can be barriers and spectral snakes, but they cannot just take on characteristics of their surroundings. I'm pretty sure the only people who are able to do elemental stuff without Dust are the Maidens, and we don't even understand them all that well either.

 

For Lyle, I think you could just stick with light manipulation for his Semblance. You could have him use flash bomb arrows, or even equip the arrows with Dust so they generate flashes of light. As for creating a shadow path for Kurota, couldn't Lyle just do that with his Semblance normally? Without the use of an arrow?

 

Changing Kurota's background will work, yes. I don't think you need to change the fact that Niji idolizes Pyrrha though, since she's a known celebrity in Remnant.

 

Also, I forgot to mention this earlier: Kurota's Semblance seems overpowered. Being able to travel through shadows is one thing, but being able to also carry a passenger of his choice? I think that's a little too much. And perhaps elaborate on Kurota's tracking anklet as well? Did the two hunters who thought he'd find treasure?

[halfsourpickle]

That all sounds good! And you don't really need to change anything about the anklet. I guess just write a sentence or two about how Kurota got it?

[halfsourpickle]

Looks good! And sure, delete away! I'll add your forms to the main post.

Wait, but Yan Xiao Long's name isn't actually directly related to color. Neither is Poseidon or Sun, or any member of JNPR.
