RWBYAU: (Recruiting) [Apotheosis]

[IejirKothar]

Once more into the breach dear friends
This story is set in the world of remnant. (if you don't know about the world check out the wiki here (https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Remnant))

Remnant was originally seeded by the brothers, the Gods of Light and Darkness, who created humanity as a joint project to bridge their differences. Humanity existed alongside their creators for ages until a time when a young woman named Salem confronted the gods, demanding that they return her lost love, Ozma to them. After they refused, she tried to force the issue, only to be cursed with immortality.

Angry and frustrated, Salem spread the word to the various kingdoms that they could overthrow the gods, and take their powers for themselves. This got humanity to rebel against their creators, but when they attempted to confront them, the God of Darkness effortlessly wiped them all out, save for Salem. The gods then elected to leave, with the God of Darkness destroying the moon in the process, taking magic with them, leaving this world and its inhabitants a mere remnant of what they once were.

Eventually, humanity recovered from its extinction and found themselves joined now by another intelligent race, the Faunus. The world, however, was not the same, and without magic, they were vulnerable to the Grimm. To that end, they harnessed the power of Dust to defend themselves.

Modern Times
In the absence of darkness, mankind was able to build civilization and spread throughout the world. The mining of Dust would continue to be a major industry, leading to the rise of large enterprises such as the Schnee Dust Company.

However, having survived the Grimm menace, Humanity began to turn against itself, spiraling into a series of self-destructive conflicts.

In the current day, most people live within the four Kingdoms - Vale, Mistral, Atlas and Vacuo. Through a combination of Human tenacity and the use of natural barriers, these settlements managed to survive and are regarded as "safe havens" and "beacons of hope" for Humanity. Small villages and nomadic communities do exist outside of the territories of the main Kingdoms, though they are noted as being far more vulnerable to Grimm attacks. This serves to emphasize that Remnant is not a particularly welcoming world to Humans and Faunus.


There are no Main characters or figures from the cannon series in this story.

In our Remnant there are three political powers the the Atlesian Empire. The Republic of Vaccuo and the Mistral Kingdom. leaving Vale, Vytal and the Draconis (The dragon shaped continent as yet unnamed in the series), as unclaimed land. Vale is home to several settlements from each kingdom however the land is mostly wild and untamed.

Early on the faunus and humanity were at odds when the three kingdoms began to spread outside of their borders. The initial war was short lived. Two major political factions of the faunus people exist. The white fangs, a group dedicated to cooperation and coexistence, and the Red Fangs militant terrorist organization bent on Faunus supremacy.

on Vale is where most hunters find work as its untamed land is rife with Grimm creatures born of darkness with only the instinct to devour and destroy.

There is no set skeleton for this story, I just need you to pitch me a character and I'll work with you to see if It can fit into the story.

Talvon is the next Heir to the Schnee combat school. This postion isn't one that will be handed to him however. He must first prove himself. To this end he is being Sent to Beacon in Vale to prove his skill in an unbiased academy far from Atlas and his families influence.
Skilled with his weapon, a heavy dustblade (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/26eb71f2-a48e-4d09-97c7-c86c72a2dcaf/d7icigx-da5e5a36-41e6-4718-9802-f4ba363b1373.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJ IUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQz NzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZT BkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6 W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzI2ZWI3MWYyLWE0OGUtNGQwOS05N2 M3LWM4NmM3MmEyZGNhZlwvZDdpY2lneC1kYTVlNWEzNi00MWU2 LTQ3MTgtOTgwMi1mNGJhMzYzYjEzNzMucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIj pbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.7e_gRjlu rzqMzG1dHSosP-iWhsCShc4zoeL7Zla_oHE). Talvon prefers to engage his targets first at range with his glyphs, however with limited access to the material he's grown sufficiently more proficient with swordplay.

Talvons semblance is the ability to summon glyphs that can control momentum and gravity. He is also able to channel dust into them to attack at range.

Rafe is an Orphan who Met Talvon by chance when he was young during a street fight between him some other urchins. Impressed by the skill Rafe displayed Talvon invited him to his home and family school to hone his raw talent despite the protests of his family and teachers. However Talvon convinced them to admit the boy and the two became fast friends and Rivals. Rafe is one of the few people Talvon is truly open with and treats as his equal.

https://i.imgur.com/Y2g0tg1.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/YVrfTus.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/QlZemjT.jpg
The renowned and only daughter of the established rich Rosafarben family. She grew up in a loving family with her older brothers(twins) whom she looked up to and encouraging parents to help her along the way. Along with her family name she was able to get great remarks in her studies, with her main factor of extreme luck. She has an extreme luck factor that has given her an upper hand in most situations, despite being a bit too optimistic, and sometimes oblivious to the actual situation or things right in front of her. She has extreme pride for her name and has the value of upholding her family name when in public or on missions.

In situations where defense is necessary, she had developed herself a double sword with self-made dustblades that sheaths into a long pole, which she refers to as "Sparkling Solitaire (https://i.imgur.com/SQsAfF8.jpg)" and sometimes carries a secondary weapon (much like a tazer ribbon baton) referred to as "Sparkling Lacier (https://i.imgur.com/ZbaOEHl.jpg?1)" that emits dust throughout the long fortified ribbon, which can be used as a weapon or a practical use of rope/ribbon. She enjoys the use of her semblance of levitation which can extend to the things in the surrounding environments(heavier objects use more energy at a faster rate), get an aerial view, and more importantly an easier get away for herself.

[Dnafein]

Name: Argus Grey


https://i.pinimg.com/736x/2c/1e/e0/2c1ee074f03df85024a870c0bec99e4f.jpg
Argus typically wears a long coat as shown below. Both the hat and coat are a dark grey.
https://cache.desktopnexus.com/thumbseg/897/897471-bigthumbnail.jpg

A graduate of Shade Academy, Argus has traveled Remnant taking the contracts he wants. Argus despises the Red Fang, and barely tolerates members of the White Fang; This leads those who don't know him very well to be a bit of a racist.


https://img09.deviantart.net/d271/i/2016/049/e/f/rwby_oc_weapon_by_equestrianmarine-d9s7844.jpg
Argus' revolvers become bowie knives. In knife form he can still trigger the dust ammunition giving the blades an elemental effect.



Time slows to a crawl for Argus and he is able to "mark" up to 12 targets. Upon the end of the semblance Argus shoots each of his marks. Those marks behind cover the cover is hit instead. The semblance ends after 15 seconds or when Argus pulls the trigger.


Argus is a Faunus (Wolf). He hides his ears under his hat and his tail under his coat. Occasionally he hides his tail in his pants.

[IejirKothar]

The idea behind Argus I don't really mind but can you tell me why he hates the two groups? etiher here or PM if you don't want it revealed just yet.

[IejirKothar]

Working on some fluff for it, Talvon and Rafe are coming from Atlas as students of the schnee hunting school (altering the schnee's notoriety) anyone want to add where they are from and why they are comeing to beacon?

[IejirKothar]

rebooted thread is up. have fun introducing your characters folks.

[Agent Rina]

Yay. Will do once I get back from Japan, which is like tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have something up then!

[Agent Rina]

Sorrel is from Mistral's upper class from the riches of the fashion world. She is going to beacon because her parents don't particularly want her mixed in with some of the 'wrong kind of people' that can also be found in Mistral.

Sooo should I wait to post or is it ok?

you got a post in the works buddy?

Just trying to make it feel appropriately trailerish.

if it helps try to give us a taste of their personality and what is driving them at this point.

Catavans moving, as i don't know the new and current direction of the story, so i currently don't have anything to contribute. If you want something specific you want from me you can pm, vm, or post said information. When i have some idea as to the plan, or something to contribute i will. If you want something more from me then i neec to know the new plan/goal.

[IejirKothar]

This chapter is to help form the characters motivations for the future. for instance, this is giving motivations for both Rafe and Talvon how the two become enemies and why. I'm hopeing the narrative ripple of what happens to move these two characters to their roles in the second arc gives you two some writing prompts to change your characters motivations.

For instance you're character was motivated to act cause he didn't like how the peaceful and antagonist factions of the white fang were not achieving anything, so think of this arc as helping him Reach that state of mind and driveing him to action

[Highland Sniper]

hey
this looks interesting
I am trying to make a good character idea.
but I have a few questions:
is it a good idea to list one's semblance/power?
and what level of tech is there available?
any restrictions I should be aware of?

[Highland Sniper]

Eda Van Rey
Fauna
Female
Age: 18?
Height: 5 Ft. 11 In.
Eyes: Dark red
Hair: Black


Eda Van Ray is a Fauna with a wolf tail.
Born in The Republic of Vaccuo, she had to make a living with her father.
Being employed as guards, they defended their small town from grimm and other threats.
Although Eda did play with the other children, she still didn’t feel like she fit in. some of the kids teased her as they did everyone else, the others always said to ignore them, but she never could.
Eda was 6 when she saw her first grimm, and 10 when she was almost killed by one. It was only when she was 12, she was allowed to work on the wall as a guard, and she was 15 when she lost her father in a grimm attack.
She was accepted into the hunter academy in her area when she was 17.
She was transferred to Beacon within the following year.

Eda is just shy of 6ft.
She is slim, with hips thinner than her chest.
C cup (yes, I said it)
She has dark red eyes, tan skin, and shoulder-length black hair.
Her tail is black with a white underside.
she normally wears baggy jeans and a tank-top, sometimes with a hooded jacket.
Sometimes she swaps out the baggy jeans for something less baggy, and the tank-top for a T-shirt.
But she does wear a knee-length skirt and a lovely blouse sometimes.
She normally has a light jacket similar to a windbreaker, whatever she wears.


Eda is normally quiet when around people she does not know. She does voice her opinion, but not much beyond that. She does open up the more she knows you or is just used to you.
She isn’t the most aggressive but does not waste time in a fight. She tries not to kill anyone when it comes to fighting another person though.

Likes: Ice cream, a good book,
Dislikes: bullies, jokes that go too far.

Short-range teleportation
her semblance allows her to, more or less warp within 30ft of her current position, taking half the energy it would have normally taken her to run the same distance.

[MissScrivener]

Name: Kaela Springs

Age: 17

Credentials: A first year huntress at Beacon Academy

Weapon: A simple staff that has spearpoints on both ends with fifteen feet of thin cable spooled up inside of it. There is a red, narrow toggle switch in the middle of the staff that, when pressed to left or to the right, will launch the cable out one side of the staff. The spear point will catch in anything catchable, and she can reel herself to the target by returning the toggle switch to the middle position. She can go back the other direction, to a catchable target, by putting the toggle switch to the right. If she just wants to reel the whole cable in after a fight, the toggle switch moves back to the middle and stays there. She does not have any sort of ability to retract the weapon to a pocket-sized form for convenience. Nope! She has to carry that bugger everywhere!

Semblance: Kaela's semblance, considered a tad lame by some fellow hunters and huntresses standards, involves her being able to sense other peoples' emotions through physical contact. If she latches on to an enemy and senses fear, she might consider pressing her attack. If she latches onto an enemy and it's projecting confidence, she might consider retreating. Her semblance takes a cool head to use, which unfortunately requires the hot-headed, aggressive Kaela to concentrate on maintaining her calm in combat. Her own emotions can sometimes drown out her semblance in reading others' emotions. The stronger her own emotions, like if she were to touch someone she felt attracted to, the more difficult it must be for her to sense that person's emotions because her own are blocking her power. She certainly has room for personal growth in this area.


Appearance: Small of build, slight of stature, Kaela Springs sports jet black hair worn in a ponytail down her back. Despite her short stature, she's taken to a fighting style mostly involving kicks and defensive use of a staff (think kickboxing meets bojutsu). While she might not be able to reach things on high shelves, her short, some might call stubby at their own peril. muscular legs can pack one heck of a wallop! She attempts to make up for her lack of upper body strength with speed and dexterity, using the body of her spear to thwart quite a few close-up physical attacks.

Background: Born in Vale, Kaela's mom died a huntress not to a monster, but because she slipped on a patch of ice and cracked her skull open. It was sudden, both Kaela and her father were present, and could not get her to medical services in time as they had been on a family outing, ice skating on a lake. They thought that a hunter and a huntress would be able to protect their only child from Grimm for a day out in the cold. They were right, but fate had other ideas for Katerina Springs. The father, Xiao Yu, resolved to raise their daughter, Kaela, with the utmost dignity and train her to follow in her mother's footsteps as best he could.

Kaela and her father didn't talk much, at all really, about her mother. It was an off-limits subject up to and after Kaela graduated from Beacon. Sure they had their fair share of inside jokes and special bonding moments, but there was always the fading shadow of what could have been looming over their heads.

To this day, Kaela wonders if her father will ever see her as anything more than a not-as-good replacement of her mother. Whenever she asked, he got quiet, merely saying, "Just do your best, Kaela. Love you." Not exactly awe inspiring, as it left something to be desired in her. And so it was that she ended up wandering far and wide, only returning for occasional visits with her father when she had extra money, killing Grimm in exchange for aforementioned currency.

Highland Sniper
I like the idea you have there though as far as her semblance I think "time" is a hard no. You see Time to me is a universal constant, for someone barely an adult to be able to freeze time world wide would be astronomically powerful even if only for a few moment, on the reverse side if it's only local the butterfly effect would be equally catastrophic since technology is a thing. I would advise a more personal semblance for her, something akin to Haste, her body will accelerate allowing her to move and think faster effectively to her perception slowing down the world. This is a bit more powerful than Ruby's semblance from the show since she is only moving faster her perception would change, this then does come with the drawback that her body would be ageing quicker as well through its use, burning more energy and aura than usual.

MissScrivener
Had a chance to read it
I'm wondering if you are aware that I set the time period back a bit to where the characters are students If so are you intending Springs to be a teacher or maybe a mentor type character to them?
I'd be willing to allow you to act as a senior student as well if that will work out for you.
Otherwise I don't really have any issues mechanically with her.

[MissScrivener]

Negative Ghostrider. I missed that. I initially wanted to make her a first year student, so this is perfect.

[MissScrivener]

Please excuse my double post for the sake of this mention, but profile edited back to first year as I'd originally intended! :)

IejirKothar

[Highland Sniper]

@IejirKothar
for the semblance, I think I might agree, this should work for my character when it comes to speed or power. but, I think I would want to take a look at other possibilities for semblances before I say yes.
as for the weapon, ya I think that would work in the description.

so, besides the semblance, anything that could be worked of or changed, or could make more sense?
or is it all good besides?

[IejirKothar]

Highland Sniper
Nothing at the moment let me know what you decide.
Agent Rina
It's your turn to post something if you want.

[Highland Sniper]

I do have an idea as molecular manipulation
but that is also too powerful because of how it could be used.

I could do short-range teleportation
but the idea that goes along with this is, how much energy does that drain? I would say at least half of what it would have taken to walk/run the same distance in the first place.

but I can't seem to be able to figure something else out that is good.

[IejirKothar]

Short range teleportation is something I could allow, 30 ft max range, has to be within eyesight to avoid poping out in a tree or something, self targeting.

[Highland Sniper]

ok then
I think I'll take it with the following change as being a transfer student to Beacon

[Agent Rina]

hmm idk what I would post, so....

[IejirKothar]

she could be in line behidn those two and over hear them, try to introduce herself lol

[Highland Sniper]

Eda Van Rey (https://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=93672&p=3037273&viewfull=1#post3037273)

I have made the changes
meaning semblance
and added transfer in basic Bio

might make more in-depth bio as it comes up in RP

[Agent Rina]

ah great idea, why didn't I think of that! I'm on it!

[Highland Sniper]

So
Am I ready to jump in?
And what is the text basis per week? Day?

[IejirKothar]

I try per day but life usually gets in the way. If the changes are as we discussed you should be fine right now everyone should be makeing their way to beacon

- - - Updated - - -

You're fine, you're free to post when you like MissScrivener

[Highland Sniper]

where do I post?

no, really
I have no idea where the reboot link is
so I have no idea where to post

you don't got to do little posts like that Highland Im working on somethinf involving her lol

[Highland Sniper]

ah
so you want me to get rid of the last post?

I say nothing in the rules that should anything about post length.
and there is the *tap on the shoulder and hello* thing you could always do.

but if it is not allowed, that is fine
but it is still a paragraph

[IejirKothar]

it's not a length thing, its the undertone of "Talk to this character"
think of whats happening between the cast right now. Rina basically jumped on Rafe and Talvon they are a bit distracted at the moment.
You're first post was fine your character behaved appropriately to the situation, but making that post about her continuing ot sit alone and "knowing" eyes were on her. That just smacks of someone begging for attention.
I don't intend to just have you sit in the wings till your character is engaged by one of us but give me some time to think of something.

[Highland Sniper]

ok
but my character does not give a crap about others for 1
2) she is the silent type, so, ya
3) not going to go out of her way to talk to someone she does not know.

this is just my character, I am playing her the way I feel it best

[IejirKothar]

Thats fine im just telling you not to make a post about her doing nothing after any post that doesn't involve her please
you've established where she is int eh current scene let others post about what they are doing and when the scene progresses you can post again.

[Highland Sniper]

got it

[MissScrivener]

Gah! Sorry I was offline for a few days. Family stuff: finished now. Posting within a few hours (need a nap first so I can write coherently through my excitement).

but you are
but fine

[IejirKothar]

sorry guys i've been pretty busy and right now I'm trying to tackle team names while working on a good expo dump explaining some of this retcons lore. anyone have any preferences as far as teams to help me narrow this down?

[Highland Sniper]

Can't say yet
I need to get to know the characters as they are played first.
Otherwise, I'll try to make do.

I suggest looking at the posted characters and look at possible strengths and weaknesses to find the best mix for a team.

[Dnafein]

What were you thinking Iej?

[IejirKothar]

initially I wanted the initial four characters on a team but with the additional players I had more options and was considering who should go where and what npcs to mock up for their official team even if we don't see them much in the story.
like how penny is technically on a team but we don't see them or Suns team

[Dnafein]

We're up to six characters right? ( 5 players + rafe?)

[IejirKothar]

I think so

[Dnafein]

If no one wants to make a secind char you could reaxh out to those who have looked at the thread and see if any want to play.

[IejirKothar]

I'm more curious if you or the others have any desire to be in the main team I figured rina wants Sorrel to cling to Talvon and Rafe like a glitter covered mushroom but what about you guys?

[Dnafein]

Argus is flexible. So if you want him on the team it works

[Highland Sniper]

Eda will deal I suppose
not one for social encounters RN though, as my character don't know the others

[Agent Rina]

glitter covered mushroom, how excellent! :alice:

[Highland Sniper]

I wonder if you're going to be the one to break me out of my shell
my character is going to get so annoyed

[IejirKothar]

you see what you did there, you pulled the pin on the glitter grenade. Have fun with that.

[Highland Sniper]

0-0
I am going to have a fun time

and it is your turn to post Iejir

[IejirKothar]

I know, i'll get to it soon still toying with the girl your character is talking to right now. i had initially thought she'd be a one off to try and get an idea of your character out there but now I'm not sure if I want to make her a thing.

[Highland Sniper]

I see
well
you could always do a girm attack and get her killed
it is another way to get my character's past out there

[IejirKothar]

this aint goblin slayer im not makeing people only to get them killed
also they are still in the port in atlas, it would be a hard thing to write a lethal grimm attack in the middle of all that security.

[Highland Sniper]

True
Well
Make up your mind

[Dnafein]

Gonna delay my post thought everyone had reached vale already.

[Highland Sniper]

Just put some actual emotion to my character XD
Have fun trying to do something with that

[IejirKothar]

Shes so close to being a PERSON

[Highland Sniper]

Ouch

[Dnafein]

Sorry about the delay will be up tomorrow.

[Nitestrike776]

Are you all still accepting? I created a character for a RWBY RP with friends, but it never went anywhere, so I was hoping to get in on this one if it isn't too late. I can work on my character submission between classes and will check out the IC when I get a chance. Anything in particular you're looking for or not looking for? Hard to read through this all in detail on my phone. *sweat*

[IejirKothar]

Show me what you have, we're working toward a set future event but I'm trying to allow you guys as much freedom as possible working toward that while giving your characters reason to be invested in the future I have in mind.
It was an oversite when I initially wrote this that I'm trying to correct.

to everyone else sorry for the delay I've been busy.

[Agent Rina]

welcome back! I've been busy too so its ok!

[Nitestrike776]

Just saw the Post. After checking compulsively for a few days every couple hours, I manage to miss the day you post x.x just my luck. Have to rework my character's semblance since someone else already got the same one basically and I don't want to mess with someone's uniqueness (so I'll be adjusting a few other things for this same reason). Also going to look at backgrounds to get a feel for how much detail I should go for, I may leave some vague things and you can have me specify as needed to fit best with what you've all already started doing. If you have any concerns or anything let me know, and if it ends up being too much to fit me in right now or ever, that's fine, I know everyone's busy C:

Also, going to try to draw a picture of my character as soon as possible to give a better idea of their appearance (Though I can't promise anything too high-quality haha)

[Nitestrike776]

IejirKothar; Here is my character submission, let me know if you have any issues or questions. Additionally, I'll post pictures if possible (if I can manage any decent representations :X).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Luxas “Lux” Umbran
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 5’ 10"
Weight: 175 lbs.
Skin: Fair
Eyes: Deep Green
Hair: Black, always a mess


Luxas’s family seemed normal. His parents lived in Vacuo, had three children, two boys and a girl, with him being the youngest, and overall they seemed to be rather ordinary. Behind that façade there was a shadowy secret. The Umbrans were of a long line of warriors and assassins that had been used in secret during countless conflicts in the world of remnant. In recent times, with the real wars seemingly at an end, they had been involved in a different type of war: A corporate war. Assigned with sabotaging, threatening, and even killing for the highest bidder, the Umbran family tree was knee deep in blood both literally and figuratively. Traditions of combat, stealth, and, above all, secrecy were passed down between generations, teaching children to fight sometimes as soon as walking was mastered.

Lux’s immediate family were different though. They sought to separate themselves from that black part of their family line, refusing to take part. His parents left that life, and taught them combat, but for defense against any repercussions that might come from the rest of their family or their enemies. They, and eventually his older siblings all became huntsmen and huntresses, and intended to enroll him to do the same once he was old enough. After hunting accidents took both his Mother and Father within days of each other however, his siblings, fearing more at work than just fate, fled Vacuo with him to the island of Patch when he was still young. He was enrolled in Signal, and achieved high marks, and eventually was ready to enter Beacon at only 16. While he wants to be a great huntsman, he also knows that whomever targeted his parents may potentially come for him and his siblings as well, and he fully intends on finding them before they can do so.


Luxas uses his physical combat prowess primarily when fighting. He wears Gauntlets designed for offensive strikes and defensive blocks. He also has reinforced boots and legwear allowing him to strike with devastating kicks as well. When required, his gauntlets have blades that slide from the forearms over the hands and can lock into place, allowing him to use slashing and stabbing attacks when just punches and kicks won’t do. There are barrels over the blade enclosures that can fire similar to a sub-machine gun, with firing modes for single, burst, and fully automatic fire. He wears a dark tailed coat over lightly padded clothing, including a hoodie, all with pockets for ammunition and various tools.



Lux’s semblance is different from the primarily offensive gifts of his family. He has an ability he calls Aura Sense. When focusing he can detect people’s aura, even when he can’t physically see them. His current maximum radius is around 100m, and in the midst of highly populated areas, it can be a bit overwhelming. He can decrease the field to an immediate combat area which can allow him to see all around himself, allowing him to fight even if he cannot properly see his enemy, and he regularly uses this in combat. He can also see relative aura levels, as well as recognize auras he’s encountered before. Prolonged use at longer distances can cause him great fatigue, so he usually keeps it to brief glances and scans at a distance, or for local combat use in order to keep from exhausting himself.



While his childhood was rough with the loss of his parents, Luxas never felt much of a lack with his siblings Abso and Cele there to raise him. He remembers his parents dimly, but has spent most of his life under his siblings care and training. He tries to keep a determined and positive attitude. Once he sets his mind to doing something, he rarely will change course. He is opinionated and speaks his mind (often without being asked). He feels it is necessary to offer everyone the courtesy of making a first impression, and will rarely judge someone without first letting them present themselves. He regards Faunus with the same mindset, admiring those that make a point to separate themselves from the violent actions of others they might be lumped in with, much like his family separating themselves from their heritage.

He dislikes crowded places in general as it makes his semblance slightly overloaded with information, as well as having to do things he disagrees with. He also dislikes those that abuse power or authority, and take advantage of those beneath or weaker than them. He values friends, but doesn’t usually go out of his way to make any, worried that his familial ties, or whatever may have gotten his parents killed could bring any close to him to harm.

Luxas enjoys reading, music, watching movies, and especially enjoys good food. With him away at school, he will sometimes receive correspondence from his siblings (who are usually out on jobs). This will usually include tales from recent missions, encouragement in his studies, and, on rare occasions, information regarding the circumstances of his parents’ deaths. While Abso and Cele haven’t made much headway in that particular arena, they’ve followed various threads that have led them to more questions or worse, to dead ends. They also provide him a stipend for education and living expenses, which allows him to mostly take care of what he needs, and even treat himself at times (usually to a new book or movie every so often to add to his collection). He keeps these letters as well to review for information, or sometimes just to feel close to his brother and sister during particularly long breaks in communication.

Still reading your profile nitestrike. Works been wearing me out.
I'm going to be makeing a major plot post soon so go ahead and have another round of banter/combat with the lesser grimm

[Dnafein]

Btw what are the walls of the pit made of?

[Agent Rina]

its actually a good thing it's been slow, bc I've been waaay busy with an upcoming event ! but can't wait! :alice:

[Nitestrike776]

Could I like make a catch-up post about my trip to Beacon? Or would we skip that? I've got to say I've been waiting with much anticipation to get in on this =D

[IejirKothar]

give me a bit more time to review your profile but yeah have that catch up post ready to go.

[IejirKothar]

So right off an issue I see is a misconception about aura and grimm. Aura is much like your characters soul, its a remnant of power left after the gods took magic away from the people. However just because grimm don't have Aura doens't mean there is a "void" where they are. According the the lore, if he used his semblance to try and see a grimm right in front of him there wouldn't be a void he just wouldn't sense anything abnormal.

Hmmm... Didn't think of that, may have misread they were "devoid" of aura as they were voids... since aura is in a way tied to life and one's soul, and grimms were basically created to be the antithesis of creations of life in the war between the brothers, I thought it would make sense that he would see SOME sort of disturbance from them, but I can remove it if you'd prefer ^_^

[Nitestrike776]

I'll get the post ready if everything else is okay though

[IejirKothar]

Devoid just means without.
they are creatues of pure destructive instinct drawn toward negative emotions.
Also since Aura is already a visible force how exactly do you see them differently with the his semblance?
I know in most anime the aura or ki is only visible to the viewer but its made clear that others in the RWBY verse can see it

I realize that, I just misread it when I was looking through various references. I know what grimm are I just figured they would leave some trace for him to see with his semblance, but if you aren't okay with that, it's fine. Aura is only really visible when it is actively being utilized and wielded. In general it isn't a visible force, but his semblance would allow him to be able to view it and its general level in others whenever he's using it, and in whatever radius he has it focused in, allowing him to see it, even if he can't physically see the individuals within the radius. Generally when he uses it he would just be viewing in a local combat radius, since the input in any overly crowded area like a city would be overwhelming. He could extend it for reconnaissance purposes, but a larger radius would drain him more quickly if he used it for extended periods.

[IejirKothar]

Ok that sounds fine

[Nitestrike776]

Ok that sounds fine

Fantastic, so to be clear, remove the grimm part and the rest is good? I'll make a post as soon as I'm home today! Thanks!!!

[IejirKothar]

yup

[Dnafein]
