[Interest Check] RWBY Roleplay (Co-GM Welcome)

[Florence]

So I have to admit, I don't have the biggest plan for what I want to do for this, but I thought I'd see if there was much interest before I really started working on that.

Just a heads up, while this is going to be an AU (I'd rather not be bogged down making sure it fits with the established timeline), and will focus on an original story with original characters, I cannot completely rule out the possibility of spoilers.



Before I go on to what I do have, some information about RWBY for those who may not be familiar, though I would certainly recommend at least starting to watch it:

RWBY is an action-adventure web-series (which can be watched on Netflix instant streaming, or for free on Youtube) created by the late Monty Oum, who sadly passed away earlier this month. It draws inspiration from anime and JRPGs as well as both Western and Eastern folklore. It is set in the world of Remnant, where humanity was once nearly wiped out by the appearance of monsters called Grimm, until the discovery of a substance called Dust, which is... to put it simply, magic in a jar. Using Dust, humanity fought back, and managed to establish a peaceful civilization.

The over all technology of the world is similar to what one might expect from one of the more sci-fi Final Fantasy games. Dust exists as a sort of magitech substance, airships and robots co-exist with much of what you'd see in the real modern world, as well as devices called "scrolls" which can be seen as sort of the logical extreme of real world smartphones or tablets, being collapsible all-in-one handheld devices that seem to combine phones, computers, ID cards, as well as being able to monitor the aura of one's team.

Now, the four kingdoms of Vacuo, Vale, Atlas, and Mistral exist in a state of peace, though there is tension between the two predominant sentient races of the world: Humans, who essentially control the world, and Faunus, who are much like humans, except that they possess certain animal characteristics (ie. cat ears, monkey tails, horns, etc.), who have historically been discriminated against, and even once waged a war of revolution against humanity. A group called the White Fang were created as a result of this discrimination. Initially a relatively peaceful group seeking to better the lives of Faunus around the world, the group has since turned violent, engaging in various crimes to further their agenda.

While the world is, ultimately, still in a time of peace, schools in each of the four kingdoms continue to train individuals known as Huntsmen and Huntresses. They are trained in the use of complex weapons and fighting techniques, including the use of dust, and most importantly, the use of Aura. Aura is one thing that sets the Grimm apart from all other living things. Aura comes from one's soul, and since Grimm lack souls, being creatures of darkness, they also lack Aura. Aura can be used in a variety of ways, to shield oneself from damage, as well as utilizing innate special abilities unique to every person called Semblances. A Semblance can be almost any sort of special ability, for instance, the four main protagonists have the following Semblances: bursts of super speed, conjuring glyphs which can be used as mid-air platforms or to enhance velocity, creating a shadow clone, and growing stronger by taking more damage. It is important, though, to be clear, that as far as has been established, a person can only have ONE Semblance, so you can't have, for example, bursts of speed AND shadow clones.

Another thing to note are the weapons, which are often complex and multi-formed. Ruby's scythe, for instance, is both a scythe AND a high powered rifle. Weapons shifting between ranged and melee forms is common, as well as being capable of both in a single form. Again using Ruby's scythe for an example, it can shift between scythe and gun forms, but even in scythe form it is capable of firing, with Ruby often using the force of the recoil to propel herself forward or to add more velocity to a melee attack. Many weapons, particularly larger ones (again, like Ruby's scythe), are also capable of collapsing into a more easy-to-store form when not in use.

Huntsmen and Huntresses attend school as parts of 4-person teams, named after the first letter of each person's name; for example the two most prominent teams in the series are RWBY (Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang; pronounced Ruby), and JNPR (Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, Ren; pronounced Juniper). Their duty, once graduating, is to protect the people of the four kingdoms from the threat of the Grimm, or whatever other darkness may threaten the world.

Two key aspects of the series worth keeping in mind are the theme of colors, and the rule of cool. Color plays a prominent role in the design of the series, most obvious in the four main characters, each representing a different color: Red, White, Black and Yellow. Official guidelines put out by Monty Oum himself establish the importance of color in naming original characters. By 'rule of cool', I mean, this is one of those series where the laws of physics are consistently trumped by the laws of awesomeness. As expected from the creator of Dead Fantasy, characters in RWBY are free to run up surfaces, leap across pieces of falling debris and rubble, survive falls from extreme heights, etc. RWBY is an incredibly stylish and beautifully animated, with a kickass soundtrack to boot.



The concept I do have in mind is a freeform rp that follows the 'rule of cool' over too much worrying about little details. I don't know how many characters would be accepted, but I am thinking perhaps as few as 4, allowing for a full team, while I handle the various NPCs and whatnot. At the same time, I would like to allow more in, but I would have to consider 1) the 4 person team structure that I would like to keep in place, and 2) not letting the rp get dragged down by too many inactive players.

One idea for a concept I had was to accept 4 players as a rookie team of Hunters, with me taking the role of a veteran who is overseeing them on their first mission, as well as various NPCs. This way we can avoid the hassle of replicating school life with classes and all that boring stuff, or trying to work around them, and just focus on the adventure, action and... yes, probably some sex as well.

Alternatively, if I get a Co-GM who can help sort out all of that stuff, we could focus on one of the academies, like Beacon, which would probably be more authentic to the series and allow for characters to really start at square 1, as well as allowing for more player characters than just the 4.

I would like to keep the style of RWBY present in the roleplay, following simple guidelines of 'don't be a jerk and don't godmod or powergame', basically. If you're fighting another player character for whatever reason, ya know, focus more on making the fight stylish and fun than 'winning', and maybe PM the other player to work out some neat little stunts and moves you can pull off. When fighting against NPC enemies, go nuts. All I ask is that your combat actions are at least vaguely plausible. You can run up the wall of a building a little ways and flip off of it, yes, but you can't just run all the way up the building and chill on the roof unless you have something boosting your movement (ie. the scene where Weiss's glyphs help Ruby run all the way up a cliff), and you certainly can't JUMP all the way over a building.

As for erotic content, I think a simple rule of 'whatever makes sense ICly' works. I don't want smut to be the focus of the story, but by all means, if characters are going to bang, let 'em bang. Don't think its the kind of rp where all problems will be solved with sex, though. This is RWBY. Most problems will likely be solved with flashy, over-the-top fight sequences.

As stated above, I am certainly interested in a Co-GM to help keep things running smoothly, particularly if the story focuses on a school setting. Someone to hash ideas out with and pick up the slack if something comes up on my end, play some of the NPCs and stuff like that.

So yeah. There ya go. Who would be interested?

Totally interested! :D

Also, in case you didn't know and if anyone is interested, you can find the entirety of Season 1 and Season 2 on Netflix. ^-^

[Florence]

I think I mentioned Netflix in my post actually, but yes! It's pretty awesome!

Also, I added the character naming rules that Monty Oum posted to twitter a while back into my first post. I actually meant to include them originally, but I took so long writing that, by the time I hit 'post' I had completely forgotten about it xD

[Juggtacular]

Color me interested as well. See what I did there?  ::)

[Zaer Darkwail]

I voice out interest also :). I reserve below pic (yes, aim for faun) and name for myself;

Gray

[Sessha]

 This looks interesting. I have a few characters in mind to use in the RWBYverse so yeah count me un.

[Silk]

I've recently just watched it on netflix so I'm hella interested. :)

[DarkNevaeh]

I'm very interested too!

[DinaFlower]

I am 100% interested. And if you need a co GM for things that have to do with the world, I can help with that part. I have watched the show a LOT. So I could help with that part. But I am not a good GM. =/

RIP, Monty. Your death has been hard for us all. You will be remembered and Loved for a long time yet.

[Florence]

Well, there's certainly enough interest to do something! I'm surprised by the sudden burst of interest while I slept.

The question now is what to do.

Considering the interest, I'm thinking of foregoing the four person team concept and instead focus on perhaps... a strategic location for the kingdom of Vale, where there's a high concentration of Grimm. Somewhere on the edges of civilization that has a number of Hunters stationed there long term, guarding against Grimm and taking various missions when needed.

Something like that might work, and can account for player characters coming and going as needed, I think.

[DarkNevaeh]

We could always set up a base in that fenced off, half grimm invested area in the SE.

[Silk]

Well the idea of four person teams was something Ozpin used, so it doesn't nessercarily need to carry over, especially if it's not a time of peace so escalation could easily be a thing.

[DinaFlower]

Would a Beacon thread be something that could happen? I really REALLY want to do some RP at Beacon with other students. Maybe it could be a "history" type thing? Or something? IDK... And maybe people could say that they where on the same team together when they where at Beacon and so it will give them a strong relationship?

[DarkNevaeh]

That would be really cool I think. 

[Florence]

And maybe people could say that they where on the same team together when they where at Beacon and so it will give them a strong relationship?

I honestly would love to have the rp at Beacon, but my biggest problem with that is figuring out how to go about handling the classes and other school related events in order to make it feel authentic. That would be my biggest need from a Co-GM, figuring out how to handle that sort of stuff and working it out so things flow smoothly.

I could probably put up a flashback thread, though, for people who want to explore their characters histories, whether at Beacon or elsewhere.

As for them being on the same team together, by all means, you're free to work out those sort of details amongst yourselves. You'll probably want to plan out your names so the team name can actually sound like something clever.

And don't forget the color naming rules. :-)

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

You guys start thinking up some characters, I'll try to have at least some sheets up soon.

[DarkNevaeh]

Name: Tyrian Nyte (Tyrian is Purple)

Race: Human

Age: 19

Weapon: Twin bladed scimitars that come together at the hilt to make a bow.  One hilt holds an auto stringer, the other a rotating dust container.

Semblance: Shaper-Able to shape small particles (no bigger then a quarter) into other particle things and hold it together as long as the fingers touch them.  using this and the rotating dust container, he can make arrows using dust.


Basic...stuff.  How's that Florence?

[Sessha]

 Name: Primrose Holiday (Primrose if both a color and a flower)  ;D

Age: 20

Weapon: Dual lever-action sawed off shotguns with bayonets. One named Morning Rose and the second one named Evening Rose

Semblance: Double-Tap, first hit marks the the victim with a target, hitting the same spot again would cause an explosion

[DinaFlower]

Name: Crimson Snow

Age:17

Gender:Female

Race:Human

Height:4'10

Outfit Desc:She really has no set style. It changes day to day. I will let you know what she has on in my post though.

Physical Appearance:Crimson has thick, long, soft, wavy, auburn hair that flows to her lower back. Her skin is rather pail and nearly flawless. There is a small, crystal scar across the left side of her neck. Her lips are full and more red than pink. Long, lush eyelashes hang over her emerald eyes. Her small frame seems fragile to most. "Huntress" is not the first thing to come to mind when you look at her. At only 91lb she looks as though a strong wind would blow her away.

Weapon: Twin Dragon. A two headed scythe that can come apart into two hand scythes. In each one is also a shotgun that shoots massive buck shot. When he is in his "closed" state he can act as a double barrel shotgun by the end of a scythe shooting out to act as a stock. When she uses the shotgun part, Crimson calls it "breathing fire."

Semblance: Blink- Short range teleportation.

[DinaFlower]

As for Beacon. The classes could be implied? Unless someone just wants to be a Professor and teach a class. Post could make a reference to classes and the like. Stuff like being late to a class. Just getting out of a class. having an assignment they need to do. And there could be stuff, like going into the forest to get a jar of sap, that everyone has to do. That was there would be the combat stuff that everyone wants. And still have the ambiance of a school manifest in the RP?

IDK, just trying to throw some ideas out there.

... that is actually a remarkable similar weapon idea I had for a RWBY character, though I don't think I'll that for this rp.

Definitely like it :3

Name: Primrose Holiday (Primrose if both a color and a flower)  ;D

Age: 20

Weapon: Dual lever-action sawed off shotguns with bayonets. One named Morning Rose and the second one named Evening Rose

Semblance: Double-Impact: It gives the ability to coat a single bullet in aura forming a drill end on it for deeper penetration while the second shot from the second gun has the dust hyper-accelerated to produce a bigger explosion. Both of which are fired with a tenth of a second of each other so the bullets will hit the same target at nearly the same time. The first round pierces the hide and digs deep while the second one explodes after entering that hole causing more internal damage.

Hope this is a good start as well.

My only concern here is that her semblance is a little... specific. Most semblances seem to be more like general abilities, where this sounds like a very specific technique.

Otherwise, sounds cool!

Name: Crimson Snow

Age:17

Gender:Female

Race:Human

Height:4'10

Outfit Desc:She really has no set style. It changes day to day. I will let you know what she has on in my post though.

Semblance: Blink- Short range teleportation.

I like it! Her weapon is sort of like... a different spin on Ruby's scythe.

As for Beacon. The classes could be implied? Unless someone just wants to be a Professor and teach a class. Post could make a reference to classes and the like. Stuff like being late to a class. Just getting out of a class. having an assignment they need to do. And there could be stuff, like going into the forest to get a jar of sap, that everyone has to do. That was there would be the combat stuff that everyone wants. And still have the ambiance of a school manifest in the RP?

IDK, just trying to throw some ideas out there.

I'm thinking for now anything Beacon related will be relegated to flashbacks.

On that note, one blanket response to all the characters so far is age.

Since the main timeline of the rp will be set after the characters graduate, they should be at least 21. I'll accept characters as young as 19, but their backstory will have to explain why they skipped a year or two of school.

From what we see in RWBY, most students (Weiss, Blake and Yang, for example) are accepted into Beacon at 17. They do seem to, at least in some cases, allow accelerated entry into the academy, as in the case for Ruby, who's 15.

Based on Ozpin's dialogue concerning how long the teams will be together, it seems that it takes about 4 years to graduate, meaning most students will be 21 upon graduation.

On a final note, when I have the character sheets up, I'll put up an example with them, which will be a key NPC in charge of coordinating the local hunters and organizing missions. She's a senior huntress herself, but generally doesn't go out on field missions. Her name is Vanna Soun.

Her weapon is a naginata which doubles as a rifle. The blade can also be detached, remaining connected to the rest of the weapon via retractable chain. Similarly, the rifle end (which consists of most of the length of the handle) can be detached (unlike the blade, it detaches completely, with no connecting chain), allowing her to wield the rifle separately from the blade, as well as giving her a smaller handle to more easily control the motion of the chain with. Like many weapons in RWBY, it can also be collapsed into a smaller, travel-size version when not in use.

Her Semblance is the ability to psychically project her consciousness. Essentially, she can use it, via a form of meditation, to view distant events. She can even speak telepathically with those she is viewing. This is the primary reason she was relegated to a command position, as it gives her a unique edge in coordinating hunters on the field.

As far as her personality and character go, she's a respected hunter, well known among hunters, though she doesn't quite have the same level of celebrity among civilians, due to her lack of a field presence, except with the locals. She's known to be harsh but fair in her treatment of other hunters, and exceptionally selfless in her dealings with civilians. What little stories there are of her working on the field tell of her being extremely ruthless in her treatment of enemies, be they Grimm or people.

Her father Prak Soun was something of a celebrity among hunters before his death, though unlike his daughter, he was a field agent for his entire career. He used the same weapon she uses, but his Semblance was more akin to Ruby's, giving him bursts of speed.

Edit: Oh, and anyone curious about the names.

Vanna and Prak are Khmer names.

Vanna means Golden, and Prak means Silver.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Silber Grau (silver grey in german)

Age: 29
Weapon: Pair of battle gauntlets which sprout long razor sharp blades to the side and allow extend them longer and wider to allow glide from heights/slow falls while keeping arms spread (they are thin and light weight). The blades also can be launched from the gauntlets (either as long blades or rapid short bladed barrage).
Semblance: Unknown (has never shown up, but has exceptional Aura which allows very rapid natural healing rate and extreme endurance)
Background: Silber Grau arrived to Beacon academy from one four academies from the world but later on was figured out he entered with false papers but she had already been three years in Beacon part of her team, so Ozpin left her be but investigated her past further through private interview where she told her reason for secrecy and fake ID. Whatever reasons she told Ozpin accepted them and she continued still under her false alias and so far haven't told even her teammates what exactly her story is. More told it's for their own safety she does not tell anything and if it shows up or becomes relevant she will tell. But her own real age is older than what Beacon usually accepts (one reason why she used fake ID) and age with fauns is hard to tell on surface. So far she has not shared any details of her personal life with anyone (in sense she is quiet sort but sociable and as she keeps her secrets she easily keep others secrets unless they endanger themselves or others).

Either case in Beacon she was regular troublemaker, as she very vocally and also physically defended other fauns in the Beacon. Fight bullies and get into fist fights with them regular basis. She's proud being faun but whenever asked about White Fang she gets quite troubled and likes change the subject to something else. So far she has told she does not agree on what White Fang is now though. She is close and personal fighter and has enjoyment for wrestling with friends and likes drinking hard alcohol (and drink people under table through drinking contest as her aura boosts her metabolism rates to ridiculous levels). She likes to jog, sprint and otherwise enjoy long exercises outdoors. Snow makes her go melancholy mood as it reminds her about her childhood home.

I Like it! :D

Also, a heads up on something I hadn't really considered before:

Half-Breeds. It was confirmed during a Rooster Teeth livestream that Humans and Faunus are capable of interbreeding, but since we haven't seen any half-breeds in the series, there's not much to go on in terms of what they're like.

For the sake of this roleplay, Half-Breeds can pretty much vary heavily, some looking entirely human, others looking just like a full-blooded Faunus, while others have more subtle animal characteristics.

[Sessha]

 I edited my sheet for something a little different.

[Zaer Darkwail]

I think half-breeds in general have quite diminished appearance. I think Blake borderlines what half-breed would look like (I heard rumor one creators had said this Blake is very close to half-breed faun in appearance, to point other fauns could mistake her as one). But fauns can be very subtle in appearance (like the puma bookstore owner did not look feral till he attacked). So it indeed varies even full blooded fauns how they look.

But I think my fauns case as her entire feet are animalistic she has naturally faster running/spring speed than human perhaps (and other traits slightly above human average before aura gets to picture).

[Wolfy]

Are we working from a premade Character profile template, or making our own? :3

[Florence]

Alright, here's the sheet in a nutshell. I'll edit the first post to have this as well as the code in a moment. Then I'll get to work on my example.

EDIT: I COMPLETELY FORGOT GENDER. ADDING IT NOW. OFF TO A BRILLIANT START, FLORENCE!

CHARACTER IMAGE GOES HERE IF YOU HAVE ONE

Name: Keep the following rules in mind: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BaWUEHUCQAAi4zq.png

Symbol: Optional; If your character has a recurring motif or symbol, describe it, or post an image here, and explain what its visible on. Use spoilers for images.
Theme Music: Optional; If your character has a theme song or theme music, list it here. Use spoilers.

[Florence]

Okay, added gender to the sheet, but now... hmmm... yeah, I think I'll add Sexual Orientation, and I may as well add ons and offs.

This IS Elliquiy, after all.

[Wolfy]

Are there any rules against what Faunus CAN'T be? As in, can they only be mammals (Which is all we see in the series, so I assume so)

[Silk]

Faunus are similar to the Humans of Remnant, except for the fact that they share certain traits with animals. Some types of Faunus are more common than others, with some being extremely rare.[1] Faunus with mammalian traits in general seem to be quite common

This is taken from the wiki, so I assume by that description non-mammalian Faunus are at least possible, just a lot rarerer. But the Faunus we have seen so far are apparently, Cat, Bull, Monkey, Rabbit and Puma. Florences call though.

[Florence]

Are there any rules against what Faunus CAN'T be? As in, can they only be mammals (Which is all we see in the series, so I assume so)

Hmmm... since RWBY does operate largely on 'rule of cool', I'll handle non-mammal Faunus on a case-by-base basis. If you've got an idea, run it by me in PMs and I'll see if it works.

The only hard no I'm going to set down is this: Faunus are not furries. The degree to which they have animal qualities can vary, but their overall appearance should still remain human.

[Wolfy]

Name: Oren Baya
Color Allusion:  Oren is Welsh for Orange, while Baya is Spanish for Berry

Race: Faunus
Animal: Kitsune/Fox
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation:  Bisexual

Weapon: Kunai Attached to Razor Wire which is spooled from her belt. The spoolers also have slots for Dust catridges, allowing elements to be imbued into the Kunai/Wires, such as sending an Electrical charge through them, or fire along them. Can be used for attacking and transportation, the Kunai's being able to attach to things and pull/swing her to her destination. The wire/tethers are rather strong, made from extremely durable and flexible material, but aren't indestructible. Known as "Taura Corte" Or "Cable Cutter"
Semblance: Illusions. Oren is able to create strong illusions for the immediate area using her Aura, and if one does not perceive or realize they are illusions, whatever happens within can harm her opponent, such as fire seeming to burn or Grim seeming to claw and bite. However if one can perceive that they are illusions, their Aura can be used to break the spell. Her favorite is creating Fox Fire, blue flames that burn hotly. She'll often use dust cartridges to lend credence that the fire really is there, leading to an easier time of convincing her opponent that the inferno they're in is real.

Appearance:Soft looks with sharp claws, Oren usually wears a white shirt under and Orange top/vest, along with black jeans that are held up by two belts criss-crossing along her waist which also hold her weapon. Her hair is usually down, long and dark brown with soft green eyes. Her Fox ears and tails, three of them! Are prominently on display, as she is not ashamed of her Faunus heritage. She also has a floral Tattoo on her back, though few have ever seen it. She is able to use her semblance to change her appearance when needed.

Personality: Soft Spoken but normally high energy, Oren seems to be an enigma as far as personality is concerned. She certainly has her own agenda for things, that much can be said, but what her goals or dreams are is something completely in the air. She seems to be at Beacon for reasons only known to her, but she is also enjoying every moment of it that she can. Playing pranks is her usual pass time, though she can be serious when it's needed.

History: A bit of a mystery, Oren was born to Faunus parents who were both part of the White Fang, at least initially. Not wanting their daughter to get caught up in such an organization, they quietly left the movement shortly after her birth and settled down into a quiet suburb. Both foxes, it came as little surprise that their daughter would also be a fox, but her three tails made for a surprise when Oren was born, and as fate would have it the girl proved to be an exceptional combatant, able to use Aura and her Semblance at a young age, though she had no idea what she was doing until she heard of Beacon and the combat schools that taught young people how to fight and control themselves in preparation to become hunters. Deciding that she would want to live such a life because it sounded fun, Oren joined up with a combat school and was promoted to Beacon after four years of study to control herself and become combat ready.

Ons: Giving and receiving Oral, Vaginal, Threesomes. Most things.
Offs: Water Sports, Vomit, Gore, Scat, the normal things.

By all means write up a character! :D

And Wolfy, Oren is definitely approved! :D

I'm guessing based on her history and age, even though it doesn't say explicitly, that she skipped a few years?

I explained in an earlier post that most students enroll in Beacon at 17, and it seems to take four years to graduate.

[brandon4fun]

Name: Rouge Sang (blood red in french)
Color Allusion: Red
Race: Human
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight

Weapon:  A large dragon buster sword he calls the bloodedge, half of the blade is yellow and the other half is red. His sword has 3 different forms allowing it to be usefully for anything, it has its original form used for much stronger attacks at the expense of losing speed while trying to swing the heavy blade. He can split the sword in half to turn them into a pair of katanas, used for faster strikes, each with their own slots for dust, the yellow one using electricity and the red using fire, and the last form is a button on the hilt of the two blades, releasing the blades from the hilt attacked to a chain to use for ranged attacks while needing to keep his distance.

Semblance: Temperature. Rouge has a strong sense of his own body and by manipulating it he can change his body temperature at will, changing it from very cold to very hot to adjust to all types of surroundings and weather patterns making it easier for him to travel around. Also in a fight changing his bodies temperature enough and touches someones skin can have some dangerous effects on them. Even though his body is more resistant to the changing temperatures and can still survive when others couldn't, his body has a limit on how hot or cold he can get, if he goes past that limit he could die from it.

Appearance: Rouge Sang is 6 ft tall with spiky black hair, usually wearing a black shirt and black pants with a long blood red jacket.

Personality: He always tries to be kind to everyone he talks to. While around new people he is usually very quiet having not been able to meet new people while growing up and is very closed around them. Although he'll start opening up to people when he starts to get to know them. When he feels close to someone, he'll do whatever he can to protect them, always afraid of losing another person he's close to. He prefers action and is always interested in honing his skills with his blades and won't say no training with someone and will never turn down a challenge.

History: Rouge started his training when he was a little kid by his father who was a hunter. When he thought he was ready, the two of them worked together and made the bloodedge, the red half for him, and the yellow for his father. Even though his father mainly trained Rouge on how to use the blade, he used it as well to fight against Rouge to keep him ready to have only one half of the blade and to teach him how his enemies could attack. One day his father left on a mission and never returned, fearing the worst but never knowing for sure what happened to him, to honor his father, took the blood red jacket that he was supposed to get once he became a hunter and left. Since his father was a well known hunter and he'd been trained more of his life, Rouge was entered to take a test to get into Beacon and he passed, ready to fulfill his father's dream for him to be a hunter, and so he can travel to world to find out what happened to him.

I hope I'm not too late. I have been having trouble with my laptop. I have a preliminary  character for consideration.

Name: Xanthous Crow
Color Allusion: It means yellow.
Race: Human.
Age: 20.
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Hetro
Weapon: Whispered Lament. A ninjato

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

combined with a submachine gun (SMG)

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

. (as suggested by http://en.shindanmaker.com/371106). Almost indistinguishable from a "normal" ninjato   in its sword mode. When in "SMG" mode, half the haft folds down to form the grip and trigger. Clips are loaded horizontally (P90 style). The cutting edge runs along the top, allowing the weapon to be steadied by holding the back of the blade.
Semblance: Kinetic energy. Xanthous' semblance manifests quite subtly as a light yellow aura appearing along his forearms and hands. With proper use he can deflect blows away from his body, redirecting attacks. He can also use it to absorb ranged and energy attacks. But is loathe to do it as it the energy of the attack is only reduced not redirected. And over use in a single battle can result in injury.

Appearance: 5'11", Brown hair, Yellow/gold eyes, clean shaven, often seen wearing jeans, shirt, heavy duster and wide brimmed 'cowboy' hat. Prefers to keep whispered Lament across his back in a black sheath.

Personality: Quite a quiet person. Often only speaking up to provide insight. Almost as if he only speaks if something is worth saying. But anyone who knows him knows him knows that he always has the right thing to say. Though he might seem cold and distant to outsiders. People who are close to him know that's just a façade and he can be quick to smile and is quite warm and protective 

History: UNDER EDIT

Ons: Mutual masturbation, straight sex, oral (giving). light bondage
Offs: Homosexuality (not in a homophobic way. just not appeals), watersports, scat, heavy bdsm.

[Zaer Darkwail]

Name: Silber Grau
Color Allusion: Silver Grey in german (not her real name though but unknown)

Race: Faunus
Animal: Wolf
Age: ID wise; 21, but real age (only teammates know) 29
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bi-sexual, shameless flirt when drunk (rare as needs several litters of high percentage alcohol)

Weapon: Pair of battle gauntlets which sprout long razor sharp blades to the side and allow extend them longer and wider to allow glide from heights/slow falls while keeping arms spread (they are thin and light weight). The blades also can be launched from the gauntlets (either as long blades or rapid short bladed barrage).
Semblance: Unknown (has exceptional high Aura though which enhances self-healing and endurance greatly)

Personality: Dependable, hot head in regards bullies vs faunus, likes drinking contests and friendly wrestling matches and jogging and sprinting outdoors. Goes melancholy on sight of snow. Good in keeping secrets and sense reliable. Likes to bit tease sometimes and in drunk completely shameless flirt (and horny). Likes trick people for drinking games as she wins them easily and can do some minor humiliating stuff on passed out contestants. In regards White Fang she dislikes talk about them, as she does not agree what they are doing but there is clearly something else also involved (likely ex-member or dated a member by most popular theory).

History: Silber Grau arrived to Beacon academy from one four academies from the world but later on was figured out he entered with false papers but she had already been three years in Beacon part of her team, so Ozpin left her be but investigated her past further through private interview where she told her reason for secrecy and fake ID. Whatever reasons she told Ozpin accepted them and she continued still under her false alias and so far haven't told even her teammates what exactly her story is. More told it's for their own safety she does not tell anything and if it shows up or becomes relevant she will tell. But her own real age is older than what Beacon usually accepts (one reason why she used fake ID) and age with fauns is hard to tell on surface. So far she has not shared any details of her personal life with anyone (in sense she is quiet sort but sociable and as she keeps her secrets she easily keep others secrets unless they endanger themselves or others).

Ons: Personality, wit, playful animalistic behavior, physical intense sex along bit roughousing. Is a switch, dominant if stronger than partner but submissive if partner is stronger. Outdoors and public places (risk being caught) exciting also.
Offs: Not big fan of bondage, disgusted on fetes/toilet matter involved, consents rarely for anal willingly

Theme Music: No Game, No Life

Voicing my interest in this. c: I'll start on a CS as soon as I get home from work!

[Florence]

I think I need to make the age thing more clear, since it seems like most people are missing it.

Unfortunately, the only one of the new applications I can accept at the moment is Silber.

Characters should generally be at least 21, due to the usual entry age of Beacon being 17 and the education taking about 4 years.

When I said I'd allow exceptions... I wasn't expecting almost every application to be under 21. So I'm going to say no on any more exceptions to that rule at the moment, at least until there's more people over the age of 21 to balance it out. Its just odd if everyone here just happens to have coincidentally skipped a few years.

I'm going to edit the first post to make that more obvious.

At any rate, I'm also going to ask that people PM me their sheets from now on before posting them, that way we can work out issues with them privately.

Also Wolfy, I fucking LOVE that clip xP

[MissFire]

Name: Vert Verde Victoire
Color Allusion: Green

Race: Human
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Lesbian

Weapon: Vert carries three specially crafted katana called 'howling swords'. Forged from a special alloy, when moved at a specific speed the kinetic energy makes them vibrate and emit a high-pitched tone. Striking with the weapons in such a state transfers the vibration and can shatter rigid objects they come into contact with, such as other weapons. Small rings next to the tsuba (hand guard) on each sword allows the blades to be spun by a skilled user with just a single finger.

Semblance: Vert is empowered by the Semblance of Wind, a force that allows her to generate winds within five feet of her body. Using this ability she can boost her speed, weapon attacks, or even bolster her jump height by impossible amounts. She most often uses this ability to levitate one of her katana and has such control over the air around her that she can execute accurate sword strikes with the floating weapon.

Appearance: Addt'l Image 1, Addt'l Image 2, Addt'l Image 3, Addt'l Image 4

Personality: Aloof, haughty, determined, and a bit arrogant, Vert is what one might call a bit of an elitist. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and has a well-known family. Pride in her family name has led to some arrogance, which can cause conflicts with those around her who find her insufferable, but her confidence is not entirely undeserved. V takes everything she does extremely seriously and pursues perfection with an admirable determination and zeal. She tends to come off as a bit overblown and is dismissed as a snob by most - until they actually see her skill in combat. She is one of the most determined people you'll ever meet and hates losing with a real passion. She will not give up in any fight, even when hopelessly outmatched. Those she cares for (even if she doesn't admit she cares for them) she will guard with ferocious loyalty.

History: Vert Verde Victoire is the second scion (after her brother, Verde Vert Victoire) of Victoire Security Systems, a global leader in both physical and electronic security. Being a member of one of the most influential families has it's perks, and Vert received some of the best education and training that money could afford. While being spoiled may have left her a bit entitled, it hasn't made her lazy. She is obsessed with living up to her family name and the honor it holds. While most would simply assume she made it to Beacon based on money and prestige alone, the real secret is that her test scores were phenomenal.

Vert is an extremely skilled swordswoman and has all but perfected Santoryu (lit; Three Swords Style), a self-developed style in which she wields three swords at once - one in each hand and a third controlled by her Semblance. She combines this with equally astounding skill in another self-developed style she calls Resshūken (lit; Fissure Kick Fist), which relies on fast footwork in order to focus on fending off enemy attacks with the arms and using the legs to counterattack with powerful kicks. While extremely talented and having undergone formal training for much of her life, she lacks real teamwork experience.

Ons: Beautiful women, fine dining, wine, intelligence
Offs: Idiots, people without manners, failure

Symbol: A green fleur de lis
Theme Music: Love's Vagrant

[Florence]

And here, way too late to be reasonably called an "example", is the character sheet I promised! Meet your new boss, Vanna!



Name: Vanna Soun
Color Allusion: Vanna is a Khmer name meaning 'Golden'.

Race: Human
Age: 31
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual (She may make rare exceptions.)

Weapon: Tenhoko- A combined naginata and rifle, with the gun section making up the bulk of the shaft, firing out the opposite end as the blade. Through a pair of buttons, the blade can pop off, connected by an extending chain, which can be retracted again. The gun section can also seperate, to be wielded seperately from the balde, and to give the blade a shorter handle for more contralability as well as ease of use in tight spaces. The weapon's color scheme is gold with white details.
Semblance: Farsight- Vanna can see with her mind, allowing her to witness distant events. This can be done on the fly, but is limited in range, allowing her to peer behind closed doors or around corners. The full potential of her Semblance is harnassed through a deep meditation, which allows her to see events happening miles and miles away, and even allows her to telepathically communicate with those she sees.

Appearance: A somewhat tall woman, with an often stern expression on her face, Vanna casts an imposing image. Her curves are subtle, but present, rounding out her figure with roughly B or C cup breasts and a feminine, but not exceptionally large, butt. Though she rarely wears clothing that reveals her body too much, she is well built for combat, keeping up with intensive training even though she's now relegated to a less active position, with well-toned muscles and abs.

Her face is thin, with just enough fat to soften the edges and make her distinctly feminine in appearance. She has soft lips with just enough plump to make them noticeable against her otherwise delicate facial features. Her nose is a prime example, being the model of a feminine, unobtrusive nose, though it does an adequate job of holding her thin, golden-rimmed glasses in place. Her eyes, a piercing sky blue, hide behind the transition lenses; though when she's doing more physically demanding activities, she often wears cotnact lenses instead.

Her hair, when loose, is long and wavy, a golden blonde traveling well down her back. For the sake of looking proffesional, however, she generally pulls it into a long ponytail, leaving her hair a little fashionably messy in the front. This matches well with the largely professional clothes she wairs on the job. Its rumored that she dresses rather fashionably, keeping up with the latst trends, when on her time off, but its seen so rarely, its practically an urban legend.

Personality: Stern and harsh but fair and just would be the first words often used to describe Vanna. She expects the hunters working under her watch to do their utmost to complete their objectives, and responds harshly towards slacking and laziness. She does not waste her breath on false praise or empty reassurances, prefering to treat her fellow hunters as adults, arming them with the cold hard facts of any given situation. Still, she is not unreasonable, and is often very understanding of the way things are, not being one to blame others for failures beyond their control.

To the people of Vale, whom she has sworn to protect with her life, she is polite and courteous, always willing to offer a helping hand when needed, so long it does not interfere with the bigger picture. That bigger picture is something she tries to keep in mind as much as she can, reminding herself that in her position, she can't always afford to fix every little problem without putting the greater good at risk.

In personal interractions, she's somewhat reserved, not being one to talk openly about herself. Her position has no doubt put her in a position where making friends is difficult, knowing that each mission she organizes could lead to good people, perhaps even friends, being killed. Still, she is not entirely unfriendly, particularly when she's not in serious business mode; she's simply hesitant to open herself up to others.

She also loses her reserved demeanor when in combat, seeming to view combat as a rare and refreshing change of pace from her usual boring work. That said, she is usually mad at someone afterwords for screwing up badly enough that she was required to intervene in the first place.

History: Vanna's father Prak was something of a hero among hunters; incredibly fast and skilled with a naginata weapon similar to her own, called Yomihoko, though it had a silver and black color scheme. Though his exploits were legendary, and his death in the line of duty earned her great sympathy, she steadfastly refused any attempts that her instructers made to take things easy on her or frast track her eduction while she was training to follow in his footsteps.

She dreamed of being just like her father, a hero slaying monsters and saving people. When her Semblance developed, however, it was decided that her abilities leaned her more towards a support role. Still, she took every opportunity she could to be out on the field, and proved far from helpless when she did; but ultimately, she was given a command position, where her Semblance, and her sharp tactical mind, could be put to their best use.

Eventually she was stationed at the the town of Northwatch, appropriately located near Vale's Northern border. She has been tasked with overseeing the other hunters in the area, making sure that missions are fulflilled and problems are taken care of. It has been one year since she has taken over that post, and in that time she has made a good impression on the locals. Now, in response to an unusual spike in Grimm activity, a large batch of new huntsmen and huntresses are being sent her way.

Ons: Competant and confident individuals, intense and passionate sex, younger women; she is ultimately a switch, letting that sort of thing fall where it may in the throes of passion.
Offs: The usual suspects; scat, watersports, gore, blah blah blah.

So when we getting teams? lol

I'm not going to put people into teams.

As much as I like the idea, it raises too many problems.

It forces us to have a number of characters that are a multiple of 4, I'd have to think up ways to arrange the names that at least vaguely resemble a word that can be connected to color, if a player drops out it can complicate things further.

You're welcome to work out being part of teams when you were in Beacon amongst yourselves if you'd like.

Basically, I'd just like to keep from over complicating things and just focus on the heart of RWBY; big, flashy over the top action. :D

Gonna post up an OOC thread and a Character thread soon.

I'm thinking NC: Human-Freeform Small Groups should cover all our bases, unless anyone plans on sexing up a Grimm or something xD

I'm guess Faunus probably count as human, since it includes 'near humans'.

Not really sure I imagine any NC content, but I suppose I won't explicitly rule it out with enough confidence to put it in Light or Bondage.

And to answer your question, Wolfy, I was thinking maybe in a few days, depending on when I can get an IC thread posted up. I want to give a little time for a few people who expressed interest to get their character sheets in and whatnot.

I'd say we need more male characters, but when you consider that, counting RWBY and JNPR, 6 of the 8 main characters are all women... it actually fits. Plus Vanna is gay, so... more ladies works for me :P

It doesn't HAVE to be anything super fancy in terms of weapons. I mean, take Jaune for example, he uses a sword and shield. The most 'fancy' thing about his gear is that the shield collapses out of battle.

Or, worst case, you can just go the easy route:

Step 1) Take a melee weapon.
Step 2) Put a gun on it.

[Silk]

But half of the fun of the universe is how outlandish some of the weapons are. :3

[Zaer Darkwail]

Yeah, pick a basic melee weapon and add ranged/gun properties for them. There has been bazooka baseball bats, hammers which can turn to mini cannons and what not.

Or go completely mundane like Jaune did (with some minor utility stuff like a knife which can extend to short sword, longsword or greatsword even).

[Silk]

[Juggtacular]

Gonna get my character out today I think.

[DarkNevaeh]

Name: Tyrian Nyte
Color Allusion: Purple

Race: Human
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Weapon: Twin curved scimitars that come together at the hilt to make a bow.  One hilt holds an auto stringer, the other a rotating dust container.
Semblance: Shaper-Able to manipulate and shape small particles (no bigger then a quarter) into things and hold it together as long as the fingers touch them.  Using this and the rotating dust container, he can make arrows using dust.

Appearance: Tyrian stands 5'10 and is physically toned lean.  He has purple hair that's a bit shaggy and almost reaches his chin and near golden eyes.  Even for hunting, his usual clothing is casual looking, save for his hunting boots.

Personality: Tyrian is a happy type of person.  He likes to laugh, joke around, play games with other people and is especially into gambling...even for trivial things like getting someone to smile.  He looks out for his comrades and has no problem jumping into battle immediately if the need calls for it.

History: Tyrian comes from a family of Hunters, save his twin sister, who went into the Dust business.  Tyrian had gone to Signal and moved onto Beacon at the appropriate times and was part of a team (Maybe with PC's?) before the world broke loose.  Now he just tries to keep his comrades spirits up as they keep the fight going.

Ons: Kink, some light bdsm, biting, scratching
Offs: scat, vore, watersports, etc.

Symbol: Not seen normally.  It is tattoo on his back between his shoulder blades.

[Juggtacular]

Name: Fenrir Zherneboh
Color Allusion: Fenrir + Zherneboh = Black Wolf God

Race: Faunus
Animal: Wolf
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual(makes exceptions for futas)

Weapon:

Beowulf - Beowulf exists as a gauntlet/greave combo that allows Fenrir's speed, defensive capabilities, and strength to be used to their fullest potential. When not in use, they appear to be wolf themed bracelets and wolf themed boots. To increase his combat effectiveness, Fenrir has been trained and augmented so that he can implant Dust directly into his body. Different kinds of Dust create different results, but all of them are destructive and can be manipulated by body movements or by throwing punches and kicks(which increases impact force when used in conjunction with physical attacks). A length of highly durable chain rests inside each piece and they can be launched out for long range striking attacks or used as makeshift grappling hooks to help Fenrir get around his environment easier or to pull enemies into his range.

Semblance: Fenrir's Semblance is called "Primal". By activating it, his form actually shifts into something resembling a werewolf, although he suffers no loss of cognizance. He's still Fenrir, he just looks like a more extreme version of his normal Faunus self. The advantages of this form are simple, but effective. Essentially all of his physical stats are increased by a staggering amount, making him much faster, stronger, more durable, etc...





Appearance: Fenrir can be considered imposing whether he's covered or not. He stands at 6'3, and is well muscled from a life time of training and fighting even before training to become a Huntsman. His right eye has a thin scar over it from a fight he barely survived against a Grimm when he was younger. He also has a scar over his mouth on the same side that he usually covers with a face mask. As a Wolf Faunus, he has several physical features that set him apart from normal people.

His hair is snow white and short, stopping right along his jawline, although it's usually covered up. His teeth are sharpened and resemble fangs, while his nails resemble claws. His ears are pointed, and his eyes glow red in dim light or when he's feeling strong emotions. He tends to wear armor and clothing that conceals his appearance for the most part, and it's a rare thing to actually see what he looks like. If you do however, you'd see a handsome man with strong features and a kind smile. In the center of his chest is a small hexagonal port that opens and perfectly fits a dust capsule. This is how he infuses his body with dust in combat.

When he uses Primal, fur sprouts all over his body, leaving only his stomach completely bare. His face has lines of fur along it as well as his upper chest. In this form his hair becomes black, and thick, yet remains very soft. His teeth grow longer and sharper, nails become full length claws on both hands and feet. The transformation also adds muscle and mass, increasing his weight and height to roughly seven feet tall.

Personality: Fenrir to people who don't know him seems to be a stoic individual, not talking much and always seeming to regard the best response before he does. He's the strong, silent type and because of that is a wonderful listener. Once you get to know him though, his personality changes.

He opens up and becomes much friendlier, laughing and smiling and joking much more than people think a person who looks like him would. He even considers showing you his face underneath the mask. Once he considers someone a true friend, his loyalty to them is unwavering(people attribute this to his wolf nature), and he would do anything for them. He's something of a flirt, and enjoys paying compliments to a pretty girl or making one blush.

History: Fenrir was born into a strange life. Not strange as in bad, but strange as in rare. His family long ago started a colony deep in the mountains of Mistral, and it was there that after several years of settling in that they discovered impossibly large Dust deposits. It didn't take long for them to start mining it, and soon the Zherneboh Dust Works was created. They quickly rose to prominence due to the purity of their Dust and are now one of the largest producers in the world alongside organizations like the Schnee Dust Company.

Due to it's rather remote location and Grimm attacks from time to time, all members of the Zherneboh family are trained to become Huntsmen or Huntresses. This has become even more important since the White Fang has begun targeting them due to them selling Dust to everyone, and White Fang labeling them race traitors. On top of that they are also periodically attacked by radical human groups who don't think Faunus should have such power and resources.

Fenrir was born twenty-one years ago and has been trained since birth to not only one day run ZDW, but in combat as well. As he grew, his skills in combat and tactics grew with him, until eventually it was discovered he was one of the rare individuals who could infuse himself with Dust and remain in control. He was labeled as a prodigy, and when it was time, he was enrolled in Sanctum,  quickly showed his skills as one of the top students there.

He even won the Mistral Regional Tournament, becoming the youngest person ever to do so. He won the next two years as well, and was favored to win the next year when he was suddenly transferred to Beacon Academy after an attempt on his life back home in Mistral. He remained there until he graduated, and now fights as a Huntsman to protect Remnant from the Grimm. He also has a personal vendetta against the White Fang and wants to see the organization broken down.

This is a link I would sent to a friend of mine if I felt suicidal cause she'd murder me for that.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Zaer Darkwail]

Hmmm, Fenris and Silber have lots things in common (Faunus, wolf aspect and both having natural high physical ability albeit Silber's case it's her endurance). Only difference is in age gap as she is 29 and Fenris is 21.

[Wolfy]

W-What about my character..she's a Faunus toooo....lol

[Juggtacular]

Fenrir thinks Oren is awesome, Wolfy. :D

[Zaer Darkwail]

*smacks palm*

How in heck I missed your apply Wolfy?! Anycase Oren sounds fun company for Silber to hang around with. Three lupine faunus may had formed rather strong bond (albeit Silber is mysterious sort like Oren, more so she entered with fake ID's because she's lot older than she looks).

[DarkNevaeh]

Oh no!  I'm so sorry Florence, I missed that post!  I'm glad you approved the sheet though.  I bumped up the age since we were talking about post Beacon and all that.

[Baalborn87]

It doesn't HAVE to be anything super fancy in terms of weapons. I mean, take Jaune for example, he uses a sword and shield. The most 'fancy' thing about his gear is that the shield collapses out of battle.

Or, worst case, you can just go the easy route:

Step 1) Take a melee weapon.
Step 2) Put a gun on it.

Or use what I used http://en.shindanmaker.com/371106

 That's....wow...and interesting indeed.

I got bored and came up with another character. I'm not sure if I should submit it and try to play both, or swap out the one that's already approved for this one. Or just add her to my archives. Thoughts?

Name: Jade Yeoh
Color Allusion: Green

Race: Human
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Weapon: Iron Dust Rings - Jade wears a series of extremely heavy iron rings on her lower arms and legs, seven on each limb. The rings are rather loose, forcing Jade to flex her arms and legs to keep them from sliding around. When she gets drunk (see 'Semblance') and relaxes, the rings move more freely on her limbs and slide together with tremendous impact at the apex of each blow. The ring closest to her wrists and ankles are imbued with earth Dust, which is set off with heavy enough impact, adding to the force of every blow. The rings chime musically as they slide along her arms and legs, followed by a heavy, almost drum-like sound with each impact. In bolstering her fighting, Jade has mastered Hung Ga (iron fist kung fu) and Zui Quan (drunken fist kung fu) and blended them together into a singular style all her own.

Semblance: Semblance of Thirst - Jade's body allows her to somehow process alcohol into strength and speed. To put it quite simply; the drunker she is the stronger and faster she is. Naturally, she didn't discover this until she was legal drinking age so she had thought herself without a semblance until then and developed her martial skills to compensate. The first few times she got drunk she and her friends thought it a mere coincidence that it took ten people to calm her down - they just thought her a rowdy drunk. But after some time they noticed that her speed and strength increased to superhuman levels when intoxicated, and so she started studying Zui Quan to help her fight. Jade is a fierce fighter even sober, but when she's drunk she's extremely unpredictable and blindingly fast.

Appearance: Addt'l Image #1, Addt'l Image #2

Personality: Happy-go-lucky and cheerful, most people view Jade as being rather harmless. She comes off as a bit of a goofball and carries herself with an easy-going nature that makes it easy for people to get close to her. Terrible at academics and testing, she seems like a bit of a dunce, but what she lacks in book knowledge she makes up for in having keen intuition and deductive reasoning. Some of her observations can sometimes take people by surprise. A steadfast believer in honesty and truth, she always speaks her mind.

History: Jade spent most of her time at Beacon being a fairly middling student. Her test scores were mostly abysmal, but she did well in just about all physical activities. She found studying from books to be extremely boring and knew that her strength did not lie in the written word, so she kept on her physical education. In school she could be often found in the gym or somewhere by herself training. While other students had fancier weapons and semblances to help them, Jade didn't seem to have the wealth or talent to stand out in a crowd, especially since she also couldn't aim a ranged weapon worth a damn. So she focused extremely heavily on martial arts and hand-to-hand combat. Even though her bubbly personality earned her a few friends her then lackluster combat skills gave her a reputation as being semi-useless. Since then she's come into her own and now that she's found her semblance she's ready to prove just how good she is.

Well, I really liked the first one, but this one is nice too! Plus, Chie.

I'm perfectly fine with you using both, so long as you're capable of handling two characters at once without burning out or neglecting one of them.

And \o/! I've been meaning to watch those, Zaer, thank you!

[Florence]

Guh, wasn't able to get them up as early as I intended, but the OOC and character thread will come up within the next 24 hours or I will eat my own boot.

[DinaFlower]

I wonder what they will do with Ren if they keep the show going.

Chū!! I likey!!

[Zaer Darkwail]

Jade is nice char :). Albeit bit similar to another anime char albeit female :P. But I can see some interesting interactions between Jade and Silber (as Silber is heavy drinker and she may coerce Jade for drinking to initiate intense training duel regularly).

[Juggtacular]

Fenrir: "Jade fights best when she's good and liquored up. Why else would I carry around a barrel of sake on missions?"

[Zaer Darkwail]

Silber: "Yo! Save some after the mission also! Fighting makes me thirsty!"

[DarkNevaeh]

Tyrian: "We're doing shots!

Haha, I guess I'll have to play Jade then!
