(M) RWBY C2; Clash of Spears (OOC)

[Drakkon]

Rated M for Excessive Violence, Cursing, racism and whatever else along these lines will come up.

Spoiler: Previously 

News channels covered the escape of the Ex-Hunter Theodore Blackflame, who had been incarcerated for the killing of multiple members of his old team, his wife, a young faunus (Heated debate over how criminal this act was at the time) and the abuse of his son Graxis Blackflame. During this new students of Beacon Academy were in-route to the school, dreading and looking forward to their future. The most notable of these students take the form of three teams, all who were plagued by a large amount of GRIMM.

THOR Led by Jack Thor. Jack pulled his team together after a surprise attack from a pack of Beowolves which left two of his members wounded.

Gallant (GLUT) Led by Gwen Jolas. Along with team Briar they took down a horde of GRIMM. Including a Nevermore and King Taititsu

BRIaR (BRIR) Led by Graxis Blackflame. Along with team Gallant took down a horde of GRIMM. Including a Deathstalker.

After initiation trouble plagued team Gallant. Two of its members, Julia Urquhart and Lowell Wolfgang, along with the teacher Kathryn Rosada are kidnapped by an unknown faction. Around this time several students are messaged to enter the school's practice arena alone at midnight. After school hours teachers Rafe Barune and Avus Revgan launch a search and rescue using Rafe's contacts. They run into a hired mercenary of the Kothar clan who is searching for Theodore Blackflame, the Monster of Beacon. The mercenary suspects that Theodore has had help escaping and that the kidnapped students are linked to his hiding place. Turning his away the teachers press on their search, while the assassin trails them.

At midnight Graxis and Gwen enter the Arena and meet Snow. An agent for an organization claiming to be developing a series of droids to negate the necessity of Hunters entirely. Snow explains that the ANGELs will make it so that criminals can be caught faster, and lives go unrisked when fighting GRIMM. He also explains that they have enemies who would rather see chaos rule if it meant they stayed rich and that his organization has been targeted for years. To protect them he offers new weapons, and masks to hide their identities.
Both Gwen and Graxis agree, taking the names Sorrow and Scourge respectively. The other two members of their team (LOSS) have yet to be discovered.

Iejir Kothar, a member of Briar, tries to spy on this meeting. Learning that the ANGELs are adaptable, and designed solely for combat. He is confronted by at first two of the robots, who take turns fighting him. The first is destroyed in a matter of moments, while the second lasted much longer after observing Iejir's fighting style. More ANGELs appeared, including 376, the only one with wings. Iejir claimed victory over his second opponent yet was trapped by the gathering of other ANGELs. Who had kept him in place until Snow's meeting was adorned Safeguarding Graxis and Gwen's new identities when doing work with the ANGELs. 376 quickly took the spear used by the fallen ANGEL Iejir defeated before departure.

Elsewhere Rafe and Avus break into the facility where the kidnapped students and teacher were taken. Before they could find Kathryn and Lowell they are met with Theodore, now Alpha, and his partner Theta. Locked in combat Lowell and Kathryn are moved from their cell by their warden Omega. Lowell is placed in a storage closet and Kathryn is transported to the infirmary on the top floor. Lowell takes it upon himself to escape after hearing the fighting and finds his way to Rafe and Avus.

In an attempt of betrayal Alpha taunts Rafe with how Omega is going to torture Kathryn, and promises that if he goes to save her at that exact moment instead of fighting him, Alpha wouldn't harm the boy. Before Rafe could make his final choice the assassin enters the fight and engages Alpha. Lowell and Rafe both rush to the top floor to free Kathryn. Lowell is stopped by Julia who's body and mind has been altered. Rafe manages to get to get to Kathryn who is being personally escorted to a Bullhead by Omega. Irritated that Rafe had ignored Julia completely against his original plans Omega improvises by freezing the hallway. Creating a wall of ice between him and Rafe. He then calls upon Epsilon who had kidnapped everyone in the first place, to break a hole to the roof so that they could be extracted quickly.

Out of spite Omega sets the facility on fire before ordering the Bullhead to circle around, and Alpha and Theta to retreat with Julia. When Alpha expressed difficulty in this Omega activated Julia's abandonment protocol. This program would force her to attempt to kill anyone associated with Beacon as an ally, and if she survives to destroy herself, starting from the strongest to weakest.
Julia starts first with the assassin, opening Alpha's escape. Theta is beaten into submission by Avus at this time, and arrested.
Julia's abandonment protocol is remotely deactivated, and her robotic systems start to reset. Alpha is ordered by an unknown man to escape with her at any cost. Angered and reluctant to leave Theta Alpha picks up Julia and rushes out of the facility and into the cover of what remains of the combat drones. Effectively escaping and giving Beacon affiliates a bittersweet draw. Having successfully capturing one of them, however still losing Kathryn and Julia. Two of the three they had set out to rescue.

Outside of Vale the Bullhead experiences a violent takeover. The man who had ordered Alpha threatened them to never abandon his precious ANGEL again. To enforce his point he deactivated Alpha's inhibitor, and activated Omega's.

His last orders were too have Julia fight more people. Vagrants, White Fang, Students. Anybody that has a weapon. He needs her strong for his vengeance.

Spoiler: Blackflame/Scourge 

Name: Graxis Blackflame/Scourge
Gender: M
Are you Faunus? Not that he knows of.
Appearance:
Spoiler:

Spoiler: As Graxis 

Spoiler: As Scourge 

On the rare occasions he reveals any part of himself Graxis's skin is covered in scars and old burn marks.

Personality: Quiet when he's resting. Aggressive when he's not. Graxis never liked the idea of teamwork, especially when it evolves someone having his back. Although he's only truly bothersome about it when it doesn't hurt their chances of survival. He doesn't trust a great deal of people, and refuses to hide his intense hatred of pure Dust users. Despite his bull-headed traits that deem him a brute. He's a sucker for a good book, and is very rather fond of animals, never losing his temper with either. Also despite not enjoying the prospect of teamwork, he's quick to put himself in harms way for his team or others.

Likes: Books, Fighting, alone time, animals.

Dislikes: Dust, having a team, bullying (Not his own) being talked too, being touched, being with people.

Semblance type: Pressure; Graxis is able to increase, and only increase the force of pressure surrounding him. This ranges from bullets, to swords, and air, to water. The affects fade over time. It should be noted that he can freely activate his semblance, he must concentrate to stop it.

Weapon: Frostbane- A decorated war cleaver that doubles as a flamethrower. Fairly heavy in weight, causing Graxis to be sluggish in a large brawl.

As Scourge: Claw and Cleave- These gauntlets come in two separate modes. 'Passive' and 'Aggressive.' While passive they're merely another part of his armor. Adding an extra amount of metal to his punches, and protecting his hands. Cleave, his left gauntlet, is much larger then Claw.

In their aggressive mode both gauntlets produce blades. Cleave produces a single, large blade. The blade is curved and designed to be fought as though Scourge was still only throwing punches. Claw on the other-hand (get it?) produces two smaller blades, operating much on the same level as Cleave except that the blades are able to be launched at their intended target. New blades need to be reloaded into Claw before lethal use can be reachieved.

Background: Graxis comes from a rather abusive family. Which explains the scars and his usual mood rather greatly. He was found by his surrogate father at the age of fourteen and placed in Signal, where he trained to become something better then a common thug. While Graxis wasn't particularly keen on breaking his thuggish habits, there was a way his actions were kept in check. The man bribed him with books. It didn't matter what they were about, heroes, monsters. Talking animals, or romance, Graxis loved reading them. Eventually calming down his inner rage under Mr. Brill's guidance.

Despite his improving attitude, Graxis was still aggressive to everyone. Quelled only for hours at a time by a couple hundred pages eventually his distrust for others came out full force. From training to merely walking down the hallway, no one cared for his attitude, and he never cared for them. Eventually this led to the creation of Frostbane. A wrathful blade as unwanted as it's bearer. He was accepted into Beacon this year and while he hoped to succeed, he's been having trouble adjusting to the idea of a team.

During his time at Beacon Graxis was approached by Snow. A man who claimed that the ANGELs, his companies adaptable Atleasian Knights, could reduce crime rate and capture convicts much faster. Even if it's indirect Graxis would love nothing more then to see his father back behind bars.
Theme song: Savior

Extra: As Scourge Graxis' mask is still carried around in a lockbox. If anybody tries to open this box he will either force them to back off.. or kill them.

Spoiler: 376 

Name: 376...
Age: 10 months
Gender: Irrelevant.
Are you an ANGEL: Yes.
Appearance: 376 is a slender version of the Atleasian Knights. Although it bears wings and only has one arm, losing it in a fight against a Nevermore. Like all ANGELs. It carries a broken sword and a spear.

Personality: Watch. Experience. Adapt.

Weapons: Unlike most of it's kind 376 carries the sword it broke during it's encounter with the Nevermore, and a spear it's fallen comrade set aside in the fight against the ANGEL slayer.

History: 376 is the last of it's unit after a long and difficult battle against a Nevermore. After a series of trail and error 376 managed to slay the beast by slicing off the GRIMM's tail, effectively removing it's ability to control itself during flight. The ensuing battle on the ground is worthy of legend as 376 narrowly avoided destruction time and time again. Losing it's arm and half it's sword before finally landing the killing blow upon the beast. In a surprising act to the company 367 had analyzed the creature's body and requested hardware in likeness to the creature when it returned for repairs, prioritizing the upgrade before the actual arm and sword. 376 is currently the most combat trained ANGEL currently active, and even seems to command other ANGEL units despite it's programming never being upgraded to a higher rank.

Recently the company has noticed that 376 has become notably obsessed with Beacon students, specifically one it has dubbed ANGEL Slayer. It has been observing the students at Beacon since then, eying them from above. To the shock of the company 376 ignores recall, even to repair its arm and sword. Prioritizing it's learning program. What better place to learn how to fight GRIMM then Beacon after all?

Spoiler: Julia 

Name: Julia Urquhart
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Julia stands at 5 feet and 7 inches with a good however not excellent posture and an incredibly well toned however not 'muscular' build in sense of raw size. Her features look similar to that of a White American appearance with influences from the Armadillo, including oval-shaped ears, an armored tail and armor plating running along the back and sides of her torso; her ears are often hidden away under her hair, however, only coming out when she's concentrating on hearing. She seemingly takes care of her appearance as her skin is generally clear and her hair groomed. Her hair is natural black and her eyes are a somewhat matching brown.

Along with her natural armor compliments to her Faunus heritage her entire left arm and leg have been infused with her old exoskeleton. Stripped of the Duel-Bolter as she used to call it the arm seems to be in a state of complete redesign. Her right arm and leg are only dotted with parts, again showing that whatever the original designs were are not yet finished. Her head is currently scarred, and both her eyes have been replaced by implants, which limits her free will and emotions.

Are you an ANGEL?: Pseudo
Are you Faunus?: Yes. She has traits of an Armadillo.
Personality: After her 'rebirth' Julia has lost much of what made her who she was. Obedient towards her masters and violent to everyone else Julia expresses a guilty pleasure in causing pain.
Her emotions being suppressed rather then removed, Julia has difficulty facing her old teammates or Hunters in general. When this happens she begins to screech as she struggles to stop herself from hurting them. Her combat abilities, reasoning, and obedience suffers as a result.

Semblance: She lost her ability to use her Semblance after her original personality was suppressed. As Semblance is the manifestation of ones self.

Weapons: As far as combat goes, Julia is a tank and heavily blade-melee focused. To compliment this, her primary weapon is a high-frequency o-katana which transforms into a high-frequency spear-naginata pneumatically upon user request. As per majority of pneumatic equipment, it requires about one and a half seconds to suck in air before the transformation begins. The weapon transforms after a small button on the side of the handle is pressed. To transform from a sword to a spear-naginata, the multiple extra layers of the hilt move forward - pushing the hand guard along with them - until there is a single layer extending the length of a pole-arm. This does not overlap the blade at all. As this process goes on, the blade folds and renders multiple times to form the shape, thickness and broadness of the spearhead. To return to the sword, the handle folds and the blade unfolds. In a nutshell, one half folds and the other half unfolds.

A large red switch designed to be pressed by the V of the hand controls the high-frequency mode. A high frequency weapon is a blade reinforced by a powerful alternating current and resonates at extremely high frequencies. The resulting oscillation weakens the molecular bonds of anything it cuts, thoroughly increasing it's efficiency as result; it doesn't, however, make it able to cut through anything. Strong armor of any variation will be able to resist several upon several strikes from the blade however the structural integrity of the armor will lower each time hit. The oscillation is powered by dust crystals; in turn, the blade glows the color of the dust crystal powering it when high frequency mode is enabled.

Spoiler: Weapon pictures 

The weapon is stored in sword mode in a sheath attached to a mechanical arm which attaches to Julia's back. The arm allows the sheath to be moved around, although it namely moves from her back to be carried to her side to be drawn. The sheath is fitted with a firing system that utilizes explosive small-arms ammunition to draw the weapon at explosive, pun thoroughly intended, speeds when need be. The hand-guard of the weapon is designed to take the impact. The sheath also contains a unique grindstone specifically made to help resonate the blade as it is drawn.

Julia's body is able to transform into a ball and rush forward, slamming against an opponent. While her ability to feel pain is suppressed she is still throwing herself against somebody. If met with heavy resistance Julia will be damaged. The attack is still in testing phase.

Background: Julia was once a student at Beacon until her Exoskeleton design caught the attention of 'The Puppeteer.' Who had her kidnapped and immediately undergo surgery to turn her into his 'precious ANGEL.' The experience was traumatic and shattered her ability to think properly, opening the way for the Puppeteer to alter her further.
Before her 'rebirth' as the puppeteer calls it, Julia remembers nothing beyond Beacon, and the events leading up to her Rebirth is fuzzy at best.
She knows that what she's doing is against who she was, however she can't remember how she was to begin with.
The puppeteer has ordered her to go out and fight, to enhance her abilities so he can exact revenge later.

Theme: Battle Theme

Spoiler: Omega/Fire 

Name: Forris Fire
Codename: Omega
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Spoiler: A little less green but close enough. 

Are you Faunus?: Yes. A snake to be exact.
Personality: Sneaky, and low. Omega is decidedly paranoid over the randomness of combat. Choosing to be over-prepared Omega has an answer for nearly anything.. except for the severally intelligent.. or stupid.. of plans. When not fighting Omega enjoys playing cards and working his own schemes to escape his debt to the puppeteer. Even if that means directly disobeying his boss.
Omega expresses an over-abundance of mistrust over anyone who isn't Theodore, which is mutual to his enemy. They will eventually go at one another after all. No games. No long term fuck yous. Just a good old fashioned showdown. And both plan to be the last one standing.
Likes: Other Faunus. Mindgames. Removing problems.
Dislikes: Losing. Theodore Blackflame. Gaining new problems.
Semblance type: To be revealed.
Weapon: Lucky's Edge- A pistol with an curved bayonet, capable of taking various type of ammo of the same caliber. Currently in Lowell Wolfgang's possession.
Lucky's tip- An elegant staff/Javelin designed to release dust in various ways dependent on its release.
Flatly slamming the tip onto a solid surface will generate a small burst of whatever dust type is inside at the moment. (Staff)
Stabbing with the tip will cause a wider release of whatever dust type is loaded. This will go in any direction and harm even the wielder. (Javelin)
Pressing a button will allow the dust type to seep outside of Lucky's Tip. Being faster in staff form and slower in Javelin Generally white dust is used to start freezing the surrounding area. Forris' favorite fighting condition. (Staff/Javelin)
Background: Forris was big into gambling during his young adult life, either winning at cards or swindling poor fools Forris didn't care how he got some more money. Building Lucky's edge to defend himself from would be muggers once he got rich enough. At some point his luck ran out and he lost money on his cards, so he took to killing. Whether he was hired for the job or just taking the earnings of high rollers Forris kept at it for five years. And on one fateful night, with a little too much to drink. Forris met the Puppeteer.
A baller with no end to the amount of cash in his wallet. Forris was tempted to take it by force until the man sat down at his card table. Determined Forris played cards until the night turned into day. Having the almighty royal flush Forris almost laughed when the man before him had bet all his money. Drunk and tired Forris believed the dealer when he had said that he needed to match the money. Forris wrote a check a little over his limit that night. And he was pleased with it too until he found out the man had a royal flush as well.. a suit higher according to the casino. It was only later that Forris realized that it was a set up. Indebted to a cheating asshole Forris began his life as Omega. Killing the puppeteers enemies, and protecting his property. His last hit was against Theodore Blackflame, his closest friend at the time. Or was supposed to be. After failing the first time, to kill Theodore and instead wiping out the man's team. Omega had found out that Theodore snapped the neck of his daughter. After a long drawn out battle Omega was called back by a furious Puppeteer, whose prized possession was stolen while Omega was busy failing. Much to Omega's attempts to persaude otherwise The puppeteer changed the contract. Now owing fourteen times the original amount, and the amount paid per job to less then a quarter. Omega now works for the puppeteer.. forever.
Seven years later, or four months ago. Omega was forced to free Theodore from prison and work with his enemy whom he hates nearly as much as the Puppeteer. However, all isn't too bad. Because the only one Theodore.. now alpha, hates more then Omega is the puppeteer himself for placing the hit on him in the first place. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" after all.
Theme song: Viva la Vida
Extra: Omega's daughter was named Celosia.

and on the lighter side aprantly the first chapter earned me the "master gamer award"
so good props to the Drak for keeping this thing going.

[IejirKothar]

Name: Rafe Barune
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Spoiler: hiding stretchy pic 

Are you Faunus? : umm no
Personality: Generally aloof and good natured. Rafe hates being too serious in any setting that doesn't require it and will spend most of his time in a pub if he has his way.
Likes: Beer, meat, and a good tale.
Dislikes: Overly serious types, spoiled moods and pointless posturing.
Semblance type: perception, Rafe has trained himself to be aware of everything around him. Though he is by no means Omnipresent he is accutley aware to anything approaching or directly threatening him.
Weapon: Dustblade, a sword especially shaped for duels housing a rotating cylinder holding dust crystals to enchant the blade.
Background: One of the few Hunters to venture into the heart of the Grimms territory and return alive. Rafe spends most of his time in the company of other veterans and making lighthearted jokes about the younger generation and their youthful enthusiasm.

His class was one of the best Beacon produced, Rafe and his team were formidable and well balanced by all appearances however in truth he was surprised they ever pulled together. After becoming a Hunter, Rafe kept traveling only returning to a hold to rest or resupply while reporting and spreading exaggerated tales over a few pints. Though he prefers to keep traveling and exploring, he received a personal letter from Ozpin requesting him to teach the next group of Hunters and Huntresses at Beacon. Never having been rooted to one spot for so long Rafe considered declining, but felt he did owe a small amount of loyalty to Ozpin and so He returned to Beacon to help instruct the students in combat against the Grimm.

After the term started however he began to realize what a task teaching had become. His students were all able fighters and sharp strategists in their own minds and had little time to listen to his lectures. He found a few who learned more through experience and hands on training and even fewer who learned from others. But that wasn't the worst of it, His old teammate Kat was now kidnapped and despite hsi best effort he was unable to free her. Now he has the uneviable task of explaining what happened to her with the rest of his team.
Theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-306ETJ-Rjg
Extra: Though a bit of a braggart Rafe rarely initiates any confrontation unless it involves beer.


Name: Iejir Kothar
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Spoiler: hiding stretchy pic 

Are you Faunus? :no
Personality: Hot blooded and overly confident, Iejir tends to rush in head first never considering what his next move is going to be.
Likes: sparing, an engaging story and Women
Dislikes: Bullies, wimps, losing and lectures
Semblace type: Offense, His head first attitude and thinking lead his aura to manifest in that direction. Iejir is able to channel his aura through his weapon further increasing his attack power.
Weapon:

Spoiler: GRIEVE 

a two handed Dustblade, designed to use Dust crystals to imbue the weapon with elemental properties.
Background: The Kothar Family doesn't exist, at least not in a traditional sense. The Kothar name is actually a type of clan. Raised in an orphanage Iejir was taught a basic curriculum that allowed for a lot of free time with the other kids. Being a typical child at that age he and the other boys often got into fights in the yard before being sent to their respective rooms.
However after he turned five Iejir was taken out of the orphanage to the Kothar compound. One of their scouts had witnessed one of his fights and had been impressed with his instinctual fighting ability.
It was there that Iejir learned about sword pay and fighting the Grimm, since the Kothar were an unofficial group however, Iejir was forced to enroll at Beacon to become a legally recognized hunter.

And barely a semester into his training Iejir began to question what he was doing there. His "team" barely even qualified for that definition. Their leader was an antisocial jerk with a sociopathic father, who for somereason seemed to have been adopted by a hyperactive spaz who was just as likely to throw glitter at you than say hello. The final team member seemed to at least be normal, even if she was quiet.
And then there was Hotaru, the last person from the Kothar clan he wanted to see, Hotaru was in Vale for a contract but made himself known to him and maybe even the staff. His secret could be out by now.

INSTRUCTIONS AND EXPLANATION:

Spoiler: EXPLANATION AND INSTURCTIONS ON HOW TO USE HER WEAPONS 

DISCLAIMER: Almost all of these she has never used, but made. The only one she actually uses is her Sparkling Solitaire
1. Her twirling baton( Sparkling Crystal):
which can carry up to 8 dust cylinders( 4 on each side) for equal weight. These cylinders are specially made to be thinner, so in reality, the baton actually only carries 4 cylinders.
(Dust only)

2. Her small Knife!( Sparkling Ice)
This small knife is approximately 61/2 inches and the handles are 1 1/4 inches in diameter. The blades slide next to each other(when closed) and are approximately 3 1/4 inched long.
(The Sparkling Ice has two uses, a sword and a dust gun thing)

3. Her Rod and Streamer!( Sparkling Frippery):
This dance rod has been modified to have a thicker bottom that can hold 1 dust cylinder( similar to the ones in the baton.) that means, 1/2 a dust cylinder can only fit into this rod. The dust is then carried out with the special ribbon attached which changes color depending on the color of dust used. The ribbon is 12 feet long.
(Dust only)

4. Her normally used weapon( Sparkling Solitaire):
This pole is 5 feet long and can be pulled apart to form two swords. The swords( like the knife) slide next to each other. The pole is approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter and the blades are 3 feet long.
(the sparkling solitaire has two uses, a sword and a dust gun thing)

Instructions on how to change dust cylinders:

1. Screw off crystal at end of pole/rod/stick
2. The Crystals on the end are able to be screwed off and on
3. Insert the cylinders equally for each side for even balance
4. screw crystals back on

How to use dust:

1. choose any side with crystal ( doesn't matter as long as there's dust in it)
2. Rubb/scrape/slide the crystal along a firm surface
3. swing outward towards target/enemy
4. glass shards will come out due to how the dust reacts.
5. the crystal will still be intact
6. to do it again, the same scraping motion is needed( repeat steps 1-4)

Are you Faunus? : No
Personality: easy to excite, and hates class. Springy and excitable.
Likes: sparkles, ribbons, cute and pretty things, pink and pastel colors, people.
Dislikes: ugly things like roaches, beetles and bugs.
Semblance type: glyphs
Semblance:

Spoiler: semblance sheet 

Weapon: Sparkling Solitaire
Background: she has two brothers and comes from an extremely rich family. One of her brother, Regis, she loves very much and he has graduated from Beacon and is a real hunter. Her other brother Regal is a lazy good for nothing brother who dropped out of Signal, because he was just lazy. He doesn't much get along with Sorell and doesn't much like her. Regal loves Sorrel as his sister but gets annoyed with her very easily; they have a neutral relationship. Regis on the other hand, has a much better relationship. She doesn't want to end up like Regal, but longs to be a real hunter like Regis.
Theme song:Love Shine

[TheExiledChampion]

Spoiler: Kathryn Rosada (Changes: Age, Weapon, Bio) 

Name: Kathryn Rosada

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Spoiler: Kathryn 

Spoiler: her armor 

5'7" in height and usually wearing her sweats, which are basically a set of white & blue windbreaker jacket and pants with a pair of sneakers. Though whenever she relaxing, Kathryn would wear plain blue jeans and a yellow or white t-shirt. Sometimes a black hoodie in case it cold and she need to get warm.

Are you Faunus?: Nope, but her nephew is.

Personality: Kathyrn has a mix personality, that is basically somewhat joyful child-like or immature behavior. Sometime even lazy, which Corinna can strongly agree. Though she can also be quite stubborn about things, especially when it comes to wearing any fancy clothing. She is also very strict when it came to training and never being able to hold back, fortunately she spar without fully using Lyn Spir. And now that she became Beacon's newest teacher, Kathyrn is going to be quite strict with her teaching. At lest she in a good enough mood to have a relaxing time instead of hard training courses.

Likes: Music, Practicing/training, watching television, and eating tasty snacks (which are burn off by training).

Dislikes: Wearing ANYTHING formal or girlish, fancy stuck-up people, bullying

Semblance type: Kathryn is gifted with extraordinary strength, adding her training to be as agile as possible. Makes her a formidable opponent to anyone, along with making her be unhindered by Lyn Spir's weight.

Note: Kathryn had learn to control her Aura a bit to focus an protective barrier around her hands, allowing her to not hold her punches as the barrier act as her "boxing gloves".

Weapon: Lyn Spir (lee-an speer)

Spoiler: Pic #1 (ignore the bottom two) 

Spoiler: Pic #2 (the blade is bronze color) 

Lyn Spir, "Lightning Spire" in Norwegian. Is a giant sword, about as big as her...plus the hilt. Its functions triggered through pressure switches built into the pommel, when press up toward the hilt. Lyn Spir is capable of either sending blasts of electrical energy or create a stable beam to increase it reach.

Both functions are powered by yellow Dust that are kept in two canisters within the guard, the blade opens by two halves to reveal it cannon kept inside the hilt that extend afterwards. That then generate electricity for Kathryn's "Thunder Blast", which she proudly named. Along with her "Lightning Blade" that is formed by Lyn Spir expeanding the blade instead, allowing electrical energy to shoot out as it forms a sparking yellow blade.

Note: Katyrn could also use other Dust to powered Lyn Spir, claiming the change of Dust as "Modes". So far, they're only three she had named, excluding the default "Lightning" Mode.

Backgrounds:

Spoiler: Original 

Kathryn's life started out like everyone else, if you're a daughter of an Huntsman that is. Kathryn is the youngest in her family, what left of it at least as her mother died giving birth to her. Leaving her father, Arthur, to take care of his two daughters. Kathryn and her older sister Corinna, though it was mostly Corinna who took care of them and Arthur's sister. Who come over to watch the two whenever he goes out for Huntsman business, despite how his sister feels about it. Arthur's girls didn't mind it as they find it amazing of what he does. Kathryn especially as she once declare that she'll be best Huntress, which appear to be possible as she attended at Signal Academy with Corinna. Though she didn't do well with the educational stuff without Corinna's help, but was best combatant in the school. Especially when she discovered her Semblance of being extremely strong.

When the day came for the two sister of graduating, they were approuch by a huntsman a hour from the ceremony. Who told them of their father's unforunate fate. Telling them that their father was found dead with a Death Stalker, which was also found dead as well. It was discovered that Arthur died from being stung by it and thus was poisoned by the Grimm, only to finish the Grimm before finally succumbing to the poison. After being told of this, things changed for the two. Kathryn became determine to fulfill her promise in becoming a Huntress, while Corinna strongly refuse. Deciding to work on becoming one of Signal Academy's teachers instead, after being convince by one of her favorite teachers.

After burying their father in Beacon Academy's graveyard, Kathryn stayed behind as she made her farewells with Corinna. Then took on the initiation, finishing with killing a Death Stalker. Proventing it from killing someone, who soon became her teammate. After completing the initiation. Kathryn became the leader of team KZDR (CruSaDeR), which strangely consisted of mostly boys beside her. Two of them having no problem being led by her, except for one who ended up being put to his place after beating him in hand to hand combat...with one hand tied behind her back too. Since then, Kathryn did her best to be a good leader. While ignoring any of Samuel's sad pick-up lines, stating she not one for relationship. Mainly because she once had a boyfriend who broke her heart during her years back at Signal Academy, though she got some payback by breaking his nose. which was fortunate for him as she been working on self-control with her Semblance.

The four of them did their best to work together, watching each other backs and so forth. Somepoint in time they grew close, enough to make Kathryn see the three boys as brothers. Even giving them nicknames to tease or mess with them, such as Smarty-Pants for Derek and Fathands for Zane.

Long after graduating from Beacon Academy, Kathyrn and her friends went out to stop a Beowolves attack on a small town. Where she discovered a young Faunus boy being chased by one of them, and after saving him, she found out that his family were gone. Killed by some of the Grimms, feeling sorry for the boy, who she soon learn his name was Lowell. Took him to her sister, Corinna, remembering how depress Corinna was after finding out her child was a still born. Along with the divorce with her husband, who had a restraining order on Kathryn after breaking his arm before the divorce was final. Corinna was both a mix of gratitude and sadness, mainly for the boy's lost. Since the adobtion was final with Kathryn as his guardian, even helping out with things as she take him along while Corinna was teaching at Signal Academy. And now she heading to Beacon Academy with her "nephew" and soon-to-be student, along with everyone else. After agreeing to Ozbin's offer of having her teach there for combat/strategic.

Spoiler: Present 

Kathyrn was captured by an unknown group, who had assisted Theodore Blackflame in his escape, along with her nephew. After this was learned, Rafe and Avus attempted to save both of them. Only to partially fail after Omega managed to keep Kathyrn as their captive, leaving her would-be rescuers and Lowell with a burning building. Now she currently still an prisoner too whomever is in charge of Omega and his associates, who appear to be quite controlling over them.

Fortunately and unknown to Kathyrn, the other two members of her old team KZDR. Zane Samuel and Derek Crider. Had also heard of her kidnapping and made haste too Vale, Zane being the first to arrive as he assisted his old teamate Rafe and the others out of the burning warehouse.

Extra: Kathryn make monthly visits to Arthur Rosada's grave, hers and Corinna's father. Leaving new fresh flowers, hand picked by Corinna, upon his grave site.

Spoiler: Lowell Wolfgang (Changes: Appearance, Weapon, Semblance) 

Name: Lowell Wolfgang

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Appearance:
Lowell wears silver color plates over his white long-sleeve shirt, along with a few more strapped onto his right forearm and thighs over his blue-ish grey jeans. Lowell wears a gauntlet on his left hand, which he use the plated cylinder (2 and half inch thick, despite being hollow inside) over his forearm as a improvise sheild and to store his chains (Gleipnir) which allow him to fire it with a special launching mechanism fitted into it. He also wear lightly plated black boots with three small spikes on the toe, which give off the appearance of claws(or nails). The metal is light and strong, allowing Lowell to be quick and agile while still getting protection.

Spoiler: Has grey color wolf ears and a short wolfish tail 

Personality: Lowell is a bit of the quiet type, rarely speaks at lest spoken too. Rarely smile even. However, he'll always shout out warnings and such during fights. Since he doesn't want anyone getting hurt, at lest they're the bad guys. Who he wouldn't care if they get hurt. Although, if ever the chance he has someone he could considered a friend(s), he'll most likely be comfortable enough to be social. Despite those, Lowell will be protective of others, doing his best to help someone in need as he'll never stand such hostility being done too another. However, during combat he'll sometime be rather "cold" too Grimms he may encounter. This might be due too what had happen to him in the past. Lowell would quickly end them the best he could in the most brutal way possible, though that slowly changed as he slowly cease killing them like that. Especially when he fighting along with others and have to work with them.

Likes: Doing maintence on his gear, whittling small blocks of wood, playing chess.

Dislikes: Grimms and people being put into harms way.

Semblance type: Channeling, a form of ability that allow someone to form semi-solid objects out of energy or other possible methods through the help of Dust. While also allow a person to channle their Aura into their limbs, mainly arms and legs, making the muscle much stronger for a brief moment as it be a great strain too their muscle of that limb. This process would make a person be stronger or faster through either their arms or legs, though would not make them "harden" so a knife could still pierce into the person's arm.

Lowell uses this ability to generate bolts for Fenrir's amunition, as well as generating a surge of energy along its blade. Giving it a extra "kick" to his strikes, such as making the blade be engulf with fire or become cover in frost and producing white vapors(or whatever) from the conflicting temperture.

Spoiler: Energy Fist 

During the escape from the warehouse, Lowell somehow manage to learn the ability to conjure and launch blast of energy from his hand. Similar to how Lowell create his bolts and the blasts from Fenrir blade. Only he create energy blasts that are shaped like his own fist, sadly he haven't gotten the full grasp of it. Along with it still acquiring the use of his own Aura, unlike the bolts that used both Dust and Lowell's Aura.

Spoiler: Example Pic 

Weapon(s): Lowell wields a set of equipment, two of them are Fenrir and Gleipnir, which are a custom-made sword and a specially forge chain. Along with a gauntlet that he use as a shield-like vambrace and to carry Gleipnir within itself. Each three items all depict from the Norse mythology of Fenrir, that Corinna tends to tell him during the early years after losing his home.

Now Lowell carries an additional weapon, an gun name Lucky Edge. Which he had kept after the Escape, planning to keep it as an reminder for what he failed to do.

Spoiler: Fenrir 

Spoiler: Fenrir1 

A blade curving to form three points, one being the tip as it gleam from the full moon's light shinning onto it. The sword makes metallic clicks as the blade open, shooting out as it rolls with the faint sounds of gears and wheels turning. Before locking in place as it give the shape of a crossbow, resting onto a armored hand. It wielder angle it, aiming his weapon as it began to emit a cyan-color glow. That soon become flying from the crossbow's maw, cutting through the air as it soars downward. Leaving a dissipating dusty cyan tail, almost appearing to be leaving behind snowflakes as it descend. Only to stop as it struck a unfortunate Beowolf, causing it to howl in pain as its burst into a icy blooming flower. Along with a soft shower of snowflakes, mildly covering the grassy ground with a thin layer of snow. Sparkling from the moonlight shinning onto it, along with the icy flower that took the Beowolf place.

Spoiler: Fenrir2 

A special-made sword he created while attending at Signal, that can be considered as The DESC (Dust-Empowered Sword Crossbow). Fenrir is capable of spliting apart it blade and position them into being the crossbow's split limb, while the base/foregrip open up to give the appearance of a foregrip. That holds a cylinder-shaped cartridge, which can hold three different types of Dust in three separate chambers. That Lowell can changed through a trigger placed on the foregrip. He usually uses red, cyan, and yellow color Dust primarily. During it transformation, the hilt open up to form the stock with a special grip allowing Lowell too use his semblence of Channeling, along with it being a form of trigger for firing.

Thus creating magically form bolts for Fenrir while in its crossbow mode, each bolt display a faint glow of chosen color of Dust. That give off the elemental attribute of that color, which is ice, fire, and lightning (from what i've read on rwby's wiki). Lowell can also still be able to rotate the cylinder without being in the second mode, which is done by pressing down on a trigger at the guard. Allowing him to choose which Dust to use and then began generating in the same form of energy into the blade and that gives off a similar effect when he stabbed or slashed someone. Although, Lowell only does that when fighting a Grimm as it would cause serious harm to a person. This process also allow Lowell to preform sword-based attacks, since the energy will discharged once the blade had struck someone/something(like the ground or floor).

Note: Fenrir can be set to be more or less and axe, which is mainly having the bladed arms to close in a little to give Lowell melee capablity if an foe gets to close. The joints being more sturdy and capable of taking the stress of recieving blows without breaking them, but it doesn't hurt to be careful though as it only for desperate measures.

Spoiler: Gleipnir and Hand of Tyr 

Spoiler: Gleipnir 

A special forge chain, that stretch out too at least 10 meters long. Like the myth, the chain was made to be very strong and durable. Thus making it nearly impossible to break them, without having the strength that best a Ursa's. It also give off a silver-like color, while appearing a little thin than a average linked chains. Which made it hard to believe it really that strong, but Fenrir thought the 'real' Gleipnir wasn't strong too, now he regretting it for letting the gods to use it on him.

Lowell keep it stored inside the cylinder-shaped vambrace of his gauntlet, which he named Hand of Tyr. Inside it is an special spool, that automatically unwound whenever he triggered it too fired the metal ball. About 2 and half inch diameter. Beside being incredibly strong and almost unbreakable, it doesn't have any other specialty. Besides being useful for combating a Grimm or someone else.

Spoiler: Hand of Tyr 

A gauntlet with a cylinder-shape vambrace, which double as a carrier for Gleipnir within it spool. The vambrace is layered with triangular plates that start from a rhombus-shape top plate, each pointing toward his hand and his elbow. Each plate is mildly decorated with a fancy Norse theme design. Underneath the hand part of the gauntlet, is a hole that Gleipnir goes in and out from. A shiny silver color ball is the part that visible till it is launched and the chain it attached too become seeable. The hand portion, which is a armored black leather glove, has similar color plates fitted onto the top part of the glove. That would give anyone a nice bruise if struck by that hand from Lowell.

Spoiler: Lucky Edge 

An gun Lowell had decided to keep after being kidnapped, using it more as an reminder of what he had faced and failed to do. Saving his aunt and his teammate Julia.

It basically a pistol with an curved bayonete, capable of taking various type of ammo of the same caliber. Though Lowell rebuilt it to be compactable and stored away on his persons, making it more an backup sidearm.

Bio:

Spoiler: Original 

Lowell was living a normal life, at least for a Faunus, as him and his family kept themselves isolated from a nearby small town. Though the townspeople aren't that discriminating toward them, which is likely due too how friendly they are too them and maybe how far off they are from town. However, on Lowell's 12th Birthday. Things went down hill for both Lowell's family and the townsfolk as a large pack of Beowolf came rushing out of the forest. Attacking Lowell home first as it was closer too the forest, after they had dealt with the house. The pack attacked the town and nearly destroyed it before a few Huntsmen and a Huntress manage to arrive in time to stop them. The Huntress that was with the group also saved Lowell from one of them as he had been chased from his home by one of the Beowolves, then left him too the hands of her sister Corinna Rosada as she been wanting a child to take care of. She also happen to be one of Signal's teachers, and had also helped Lowell fit in during his years in Signal Academy. Especially when he became somewhat of a mute, likely due to what he had seen during the Beowolves attack.

Since then he been a loner, never getting close too the kids. Especially when their parents would get angry with them for doing so, thus they kept their distant from Lowell. Which made him grew close to Corinna, who he will always call Miss Rosada, as she wasn't his real mother and she in turn accepted that fact. Though he didn't have a choice with Corinna's sister, Kathryn, who made sure Lowell address her as his aunt. When things gotten settled for the two, Lowell began attending at Signal. Wanting closure and the chance to prevent what he had to go through from happening too others. During his time attending at Signal Academy, Lowell had a hard time fitting in due to his heritage of being a Faunus. Especially when most of the students were quite discriminating toward him, along with a few of the teachers. Except for his "foster parent" Corinna Rosada, who had took the time too give extra training and education. Even a few of the more equally-minded teachers help out as well for him. Lowell even got more comfortable and started being social, at least enough that he'll sometime speak a few words and answer questions.

Some point during his training courses, Lowell discovered his ability or Semblance. Discovering that he could channel his aura, from what he was told, into either his limbs for a brief moment or create a form of semi-solid energy through the help of Dust. Like his bolts for Fenrir's Crossbow mode or generate a small surge of energy to make his strikes more powerful. This ability was worked on during the remaining years of being in the Academy, along with private sessions with his aunt Kathryn. Which were quite brutal as she never hold back, at least enough to not use her sword full potential. Granted it might've destroy Corinna's house if she had, then she'll be facing her sister's wrath. So now Lowell boarded the Air Ship that'll take him and every other potential students too Beacon Academy.

Spoiler: Present 

During the start of being a student at Beacon, Lowell became captured along with his aunt. Finding himself a prisoner to some group of people, one of them being Theodore Blackflame. Though Lowell doesn't care much for him as the man that goes by as Omega, gain Lowell attention after suffering a bit of his torture by an shock collar by him.

Thankfully, it wasn't for long as Rafe and Avus came to their rescue. At least that was the plan, Lowell escaped with a little help by someone name Fyyre. Who had somehow placed an pistol and ammo for Lowell to use. Which he did after getting through his guards and then through more security robots to reach the Beacon Teachers. Only to run off in attempt of rescuing his aunt, unfortunately, Lowell became face to face with an cyborg-like Julia. Who had became another person Lowell wanted to saved, but sadly, things didn't go well with that plan after Omega set the warehouse on fire. Forcing them to retreat with some of Zane assistant.

Now Lowell seeks revenge and justice for what Omega, and whoever else with him, to pay for taking another family member and his teammate.

[Drakkon]

Sure why not. Also real quick guys do to the time of year I'm going to be a little slow in posting anything while we get settled so please keep that in mind.

[Heson Shadowbane]

So for Gwen, has she basically left Beacon to form up with LOSS or is she doing the double life thing? Or is that up to me?

[Punished Snake]

So I'm able to join in on this sequel to the first one? I got an idea on a character already that'd be good for this one.
