RWBY: Welcome to Beacon! (M)
This RP is rated M due to an excessive amount of Gore, allowance of cursing, and 'touchy' themes. (Racism between either of the two primary species for example)
Spoiler: Opening narrationLegends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past.
Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness - creatures of destruction; the creatures of Grimm - set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void.
However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named Dust.
Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life.
But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die, and when they are gone... darkness will return.
So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called 'free world', but take heed... there will be no victory in strength.
But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten. Things that require a smaller, more honest soul.

Spoiler: Character sheet
Spoiler: BRIaRSpoiler: BlackflameName: Graxis Blackflame
Gender: M
Are you Faunus? Not that he knows of.
Appearance:
Spoiler:Spoiler: Basic concept
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, disappointing Mr. Brill.
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.
Weapon: Frostbane- A decorated war cleaver that doubles as a flamethrower. Fairly heavy in weight, causing Graxis to be sluggish in a large brawl.
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.
Theme song: Savior
Extra: He will never take off his mask willingly.

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.

Weapon: Lyn Spir (lee-an speer)
Spoiler: Pix #1 (ignore the bottom two)
Spoiler: Pic #2 (the blde is bronze color, it also slightly smaller from the guard to pommel... for her hands.)
Lyn Spir, "Lightning Spire" in Norwegian. Is a rather large sword, about as big as her...plus the hilt. Its functions triggered through pressure switch 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 expanding the blade instead, allowing electrical energy to shoot out as it forms a sparking yellow blade.
Backgrounds: 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 approach by a huntsman a hour from the ceremony. Who told them of their father's unfortunate 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. Preventing it from killing someone, who soon became her teammate. After completing the initiation. Kathryn became the leader of team KSDR (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 be put to his place after beating him in hand to hand combat...with one hand tied behind her back. Since then, Kathryn did her best to be a good leader. While ignoring any of Samuel and Derek'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. Some point in time they grew close, enough to make Kathryn see the three boys as brothers. Even giving them nicknames to tease them, such as Smarty-Pants for Raphael.
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 adoption 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.
Extra: Kathryn make monthly visits to Arthur Rosada's grave, hers and Corinna's father. Replacing his grave's flower with fresh new ones, hand pick by Corinna.
