searching Into Darkness: A RWBY rp

[Drago Ryder 641]

Knowledge of the series is required, though I will be happy to answer any questions.

OOC: https://mlpforums.com/topic/189457-into-darkness-a-rwby-rp-ooc/

 

I am looking for a group of seven other users with RWBY OCs who might want to participate in such a role play. The start point itself will be the day before the entrance exam for both simplicity and to give our characters a chance to bond before things go down the tubes. I will also try to avoid the majority of the canon cast and reiterating already explored plot points. Some events may still happen, but the circumstances will be vastly different.

If you are interested, simply fill out the template below, though I would implore that no one has a character that is too overpowered at the start. That just wouldn’t be fun.

My RWBY OC

Name: Albin Wolfram

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Personality: Overall, Albin is a rather reserved individual, preferring the quiet tranquility of nature rather than the chaos of city life, though that might just be a result of his semblance. He tends to observe others from a distance before initiating any interaction, which could certainly lead to an awkward situation for him if he is unprepared. Honestly, the teen has no friends, only family that isn’t related by blood and those that are, and any that might threaten either often find themselves on the business end of his blade. While his skills in academics aren’t great, he does enjoy drawing, especially when accompanied by music.

Appearance: Standing at a height of six feet three inches, Albin is a human with a rather lean build that was forged from work at a smithy within his home-village along with training by his father. Short to medium length dark blonde hair that is normally brushed to the side and dark blue eyes are also notable characteristics of his appearance. Stubble is also a common sight along the sides and lower jawline of his face, though whether or not such a thing will turn into a full beard has yet to be determined.

For clothes, he typically wears a plain blue shirt and black pants when not expecting any combat or in the Beacon uniform. His combat attire consists of a set of green and brown leather armor that offers him mobility, protection, and some degree of stealth. A loose fitting hood also takes the place of any helm, though this is more from personal preference than anything else.

Weapon: While he does not use any firearms, that does not mean Albin is any less dangerous to his opponents. As a main weapon, he uses a handmade longsword that he dubbed as Requiem in combination with a heater shield by the name of Solace. The shield itself is a shiny black in coloration with a gold trim. A stylized depiction of two white ravens circling a golden octagram can also be seen. 

Semblance: While it might not seem like much, Albin’s semblance, Flock, gives most birds an affinity for him and allows the teen to hold a decent conversation with them. The range of its influence varies depending on environmental factors, his emotional state, and the amount of aura he puts into it, though the average distance seems to be around twenty meters.

Extra Details: He has a combat trained raven that has an unlocked aura and will be accompanying him to Beacon.

Might as well see where this goes. Hopefully, we get enough people in here for it to work.

Name: Yuki Ryuzaki

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Personality: Overall, Yuki tends to be a rather outgoing individual with a good eye for detail. Granted, this can lead her to miss larger aspects of whatever she might be observing, though such things can be mitigated with help. She’s also a bit of an idealist, trying her best to help those who need it and see the good in people at her own expense. Whether or not such behavior is a mask can only be determined through prolonged interaction.

Appearance: Yuki is a fox Faunus that stands at a height of five and a half feet, though this does not take into account the fox ears atop her head. The fur on said characteristics, along with her own hair, holds a dark auburn coloration.The former is also kept loose and at a length that ends a few inches below her shoulders. Her eyes are also a dark green. Her body has a rather lithe build.

Yuki’s combat attire consists of a dark blue qipao style dress that ends just above her knees. The dress itself is relatively plain in design, only having a white trim and a stylized depiction of a black lotus blossom in the center of her back. She also wears form fitting grey pants and combat shoes  For casual clothing, she typically wears a purple shirt with a fur lined vest and black skirt.

Weapon: In combat, Yuki utilizes a spear she dubbed Sky-piercer, along with a bow and accompanying arrows.

Semblance: Mesmerize is an illusion based semblance that puts the mind of its target into a dream like state. While the overall image is at Yuki’s discretion, she can only use it on one individual at a time and needs to maintain concentration for it to be effective.

Everything seems to check out. If needed, we can just have a single team of four and see where it goes from there.

[Meson Bolt 2,648]

Sort of interested, RWBY is one of those topics that I've always wanted to do an RP for but never got around to it.

I'll submit my character in a spoiler.

Spoiler

Name: Eris Leone

Age: 17

Gender: F

Personality: Outside of combat, Eris is an amicable and rather timid girl, curious to learn about the world and her fellow students. She is wary of strangers, but finds making friends relatively easy. Despite this she is socially inept, failing to pick up on cues or hints, and being anything but subtle in her interactions. She is easily startled, which is constantly a source of humor for her companions.

When in combat, she does her best to keep a cool head, but has quite the fiery temper. Stoking this fire causes her to unleash all of her strength and energy at once, which is usually a bad idea. However if one could survive her blinding and devoted assault, she tires quickly and will become exhausted. While self-taught in terms of ranged combat, her skill with a halberd shows signs of professional level training.

Appearance: Eris is an athletic young woman, standing 5'6" with a slender build, fair skin and a modest bust size. Her platinum-blonde hair is always pulled back into a ponytail and tied with a blue ribbon, and her eyes are deep blue. She has a single scar running across her right cheek and a smaller scar which cuts the right half of her lower lip. She wears eye black all the time, both in and out of combat, for whatever reason.

Her combat attire is based around the hotter temperatures of Vacuo's deserts, specifically, a wrapping of cloth strips that covers her chest, a pair of light brown breeches tied with a blue sash-belt, and cloth wrappings for her hands and feet. Outside of combat she will don an indigo bomber-style leather jacket, and during cold weather she adds black woolen fingerless gloves and brown fur-lined boots to her outfit.

Weapon: Aconitum is a relatively normal-looking metal halberd, about 6 feet long and weighing around 10 pounds. The axe head is covered in carved runes to infuse it with dust, which is loaded in a breech-style chamber in the center of the shaft. Like many halberds, the polearm features a spear tip on the weapon end and a spike on the side opposite the axe head, but also a heavy pommel on the end of the shaft for bludgeoning attacks. She can only load one dust cartridge at a time, and usually carries fire-based dust to use on her weapon.

Semblance: Ember Step allows Eris to disperse her physical form into a cloud of embers at will, as well as any clothing or weapons that she is wearing or wielding. She can only remain in this state for up to 10 seconds at a time before the embers reform into her normal self. She often uses this ability to surprise opponents or avoid attacks she can't otherwise dodge, as well as break free from vices or slip through windows and underneath doors.

@Meson Bolt

Good to have you. She’s in.

[Acnologia 167]

Nice, Now we just need at least one more person to start. Also, what are we going to be doing for villians?

[dragon4111 914]

@Drago Ryder

Hello again uh can I join?

[Drago Ryder 641]

@dragon4111

Sure. I don’t see a reason why not.

[dragon4111 914]

@Drago Ryder

Probably considering I feel like it was my fault for dragging out the whole black gate scene in the original

[Drago Ryder 641]

That, and I sort of forgot about it for a time. Hopefully, a smaller group will fix that.

[dragon4111 914]

@Drago Ryder

If you want I could leave that part out of Ghalan's backstory

[Drago Ryder 641]

Hmm, that might be for the best.

[dragon4111 914]

@Drago Ryder

I'd still like to keep a few of the things we had for him buddy

[Drago Ryder 641]

Hmm, that’s understandable. Go ahead and submit him. If I feel like anything else needs to be changed, I’ll tell you.

[dragon4111 914]

Name: Ghalan Chromwell

Age:17

 

Gender:male

 

Personality:hot headed, kind, h e is the type of guy who perseveres through the injustice and rise above it. To him these White fanged arseholes are nothing more than thugs. But once you get to know him you'll have a friend for life. He also enjoys a good brawl/fight. He's a also a big flirt with the ladies on his team. Ghalan is also fiercely protective of his team.

 

Appearance: Ghalan is a rather tall 6'0 wolf faunus with timber wolf ears, along with a fluffy tail.

heh using an old pic for this one.

The armor he wears.

 

Weapon:Longsword Urfael, dagger Acharn, and a bow Azkar. each weapon has a compartment for a dust mixture.

 

Semblance: A fiery semblence that he uses to either ignite or heat up his blade.

 

Extra Details: He forged his weapons and armor using specialized metal so that they are light but will protect him. But he was also trained from a young age to be especially good at tracking, combat, among other things.

@Drago Ryder

Submitted Ghalan

[Drago Ryder 641]

Hmm, I don't think we'll be seeing much of the White Fang, at least not in the manner they are in canon, but he's still in.

[dragon4111 914]

@Drago Ryder

Yay atleast your not having me change him heh

[Drago Ryder 641]

@Meson Bolt @Acnologia @dragon4111

Now that we have a full team, I’ll try to start this up tomorrow, along with a separate OOC thread for us to throw ideas around.

Edited January 26, 2020 by Drago Ryder

[dragon4111 914]

@Drago Ryder

So it's been tomorrow buddy

[Drago Ryder 641]

@dragon4111 @Meson Bolt @Acnologia

Sorry about the delay. The OOC thread is now online, and I’ll try to get the rp up soon.
