RWBY (random RP)

So. I'm ultra hyped for RWBY volume four right now with all of the info we got from RTX, so I decided I wanted to make this to quell my hype and keep the site semi-active. The RP will be taking place at the beginning of volume 1.(I'll go into more detail about this later.) So everyone shows up to Beacon Academy and then goes into the forest thingy to get put into teams. I think The RP will end when everybody gets the relics and leaves the forest. That way we don't have to worry if there isn't the perfect amount of people RPing to make teams. For this RP you will be making your own characters instead of choosing from the characters in the show. Now, remember when I said this RP was going to take place at the beginning of Volume 1? Well, I kinda lied. It's taking place during that time of year but it actually takes place before team RWBY joins beacon. (Probably a year or two earlier if you must the the specifics.) So, here are the rules for making your own characters:
-no silver eyes
-can't be related to anyone on the show
-can't be friends with/know anyone on the show
-no copied semblances/weapons/outfits of anyone on the show
-Your character can't know things they shouldn't know about events in the anime, both future and past.
-no spoilers (Unless everyone on this RP has seen all of RWBY, so say how far you are in the show. That way peeps know how much they can say.)
-none of your characters can enter beacon early/late (So everybody has to be 17.)
-weapons can only be a combination of three weapons
-names must follow color rule
-no names already used in the show
Note: all characters will be approved by me before we begin the RP.

I think that covers everything. Here's the character sheet:

How much you've seen of RWBY:


Name: Azura
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Sexuality: N/A
Species: Human
Alignment: Chaotic good
Looks:

Spoiler:

Eye color: Blue (I even had my little sis photoshop the photo to make the eyes blue.)
Personality: Azura acts much younger than she really is and can be described as cute. Her childish nature can get the better of her sometimes and get her in trouble whether it be stealing the last cookie in the cookie jar to pressing the big red button. She is morbidly curious and will poke and prod at things or people to get an answer. Despite her innocence she loves fighting grim of all types and will tend to make a game out of it, or really anything for that matter. She takes her games very seriously and isn't above bragging or whining depending upon how they work out or cheating in order to ensure her victory/better her chances. When fighting some might be surprised at the brutality she uses or how much fun she has killing grim, especially when she does all of it with a giant, adorable, and innocent grin on her face. She also brutal in how honest she is, simply because she doesn't know that sometimes the truth isn't always the right thing to say.
Weapon: Halberd/chain scythe/gun(dust bullets)
Weapon name: Videre Nox
Semblance: She can steal an opponent's strength and use it to either replenish/build upon her own strength or someone else's strength.She can only steal it through close combat and the amount stolen depends upon how long physical interaction is held.
Hobbies/skills: playing with her plushies, cooking, eating sweets, murdering grim, playing games
Weaknesses/flaws: sportsmanship, showing restraint/self control, empathy, brutal honesty, following rules/doing what she's told (if she doesn't like the rules/what she's told)
Likes: games, competition, fighting, plushies, chicken nuggets, candy
Dislikes: losing, people that cheat (unless she's that person), vegtables, waking up in the morning, not getting her way, really cold weather
Fears: clowns, the dark, animatronics
Backstory: Basically she was just a normal girl living in vale and one day she found that she really liked fighting things when some bullies attacked her after school. She stabbed them with pencils and was expelled due to the brutality of the bullies pencil wounds. Then she went to another school where the same thing happened soon afterwards. After her parents and her talked to the counselors it was agreed that she should use her destructive nature for good instead of bad and was put into a combat school. Ever since she's loved learning to fight and going all out and has dreamed of becoming a huntress where she could do whatever she wanted and kill however many grim she wanted and be respected and loved as a hero instead of ridiculed and punished.
Other: Nah
How much you've seen of RWBY: ALL of it. (And the trailer for volume four. IT WAS SOO COOL! Ruby has a new outfit and she's a total badass! Even more so than before. kdsfjhsdbfjhdsbvjhsdf)

Characters in RP so far:

Name: Nebula Hayashi (hurhur so original)

Gender: Fluid (she/her/they/them)

Age: 17

Sexuality: Graysexual (homoromantic)

Species: Cat Faunus (short retractable claws, and silvery-black white-tipped tail and ears. Sharp canine teeth.)

Alignment: Chaotic good

Looks: Nebula has long black hair with a side bang that covers her scarred right eye. From her shoulders, her hair goes in a gradient from dark blue, to purple, to deep pink, to dark red at the tips. At the top of her head, she has a few highlights of these colours. Her skin is quite dark.
She wears a grey scarf around her neck, and a set of dark grey and purple headphones. From the centers of the earpieces are purple pieces, and from them trail long black wires.
She wears a bodysuit, which is primarily black in colour, with silver outlining. The cloth on her shoulders are a pale purple and armoured. Around her neck and upper arm is a pinky red, as well as the area around her middle back and of her thighs. The fabric around her legs is dark, vibrant red. The armoured parts of her suit would be around her chest, shoulders, elbows, knees, and shins.

Spoiler:

Eye color: Ultramarine-ish Purple-ish

Personality: Nebula is quite distant and aloof, and usually won't socialise unless she has to. She's usually very prideful of herself and acts confident in her abilities. She can be quite intimidating at times, especially with her untrusting glare, and tall, towering stance. People would see her as just depressing to be around, but she can be very happy and friendly and not at all like how you'd expect her to act like.
Nebula is very mature and doesn't mess about. She would probably be the 'mom' of the team because not only is she surprisingly caring, but very strong and protective of the ones closest to her. She is also cripplingly insecure and battling her own sadness and fear but sssshhh.

Weapon: Her weapon is a high-impact sniper rifle. The main body of it is red, with some carmine pinks and black. She wears this around her shoulders, held there with a grey and red strap.

Dust Effects:

Weapon:

Weapon name: Ruby Redcrackle

Semblance: She has the ability to disappear into the shadows, and travel in them. Unlike teleporting, this travel isn't instant and it takes as long to travel in the shadow realm as it does in the real world. In battle, she can use this to disappear and ambush opponents. She does not like bright places for this reason. She can also 'absorb' shadows to make her physically stronger, although this is extremely exhausting and impractical, since she becomes desensitised, and loses all memories, blindly attacking anything in her path. The more 'shadow' she absorbs, the more senseless she becomes. For example, if she absorbs a shadow from a plant, it won't be as powerful as one from a massive brick wall. Being inside of a shadow for too long also has this effect, which is why she cannot stay in one for too long.

Hobbies/skills: Nebula is physically very fast and nimble. She can sprint quite fast, but is not very good at long endurance runs that take a lot of stanima. She likes to draw and spends most of her money on things she shouldn't spend money on.

Weaknesses/flaws: As mentioned, she is not great at endurance tests. This is caused probably by her inexplicable struggle with breathing, something she's dealt with for a long time. Nobody really knows why she's like that, and so many people have tried to help, but failed. As well as this, she coughs loudly and uncontrollably when she's out of breath.

Likes: Drawing, writing, playing instruments, and other creative things like that.

Dislikes: Inequality, sadness, being lonely,

Fears: She's scared of what people think of her, she's scared that even her friends hate her, she's scared of being left alone and she's scared of never being loved.

Backstory: She'd always been a member of the White Fang, while they protested peacefully. She'd always been one to stand up for herself and for her rights. But one day, someone who didn't agree with the White Fang's ideals had assaulted the protest. Nebula managed to escape, but her friends, what felt like her family, had been killed. And she just stood there, unable to help. That's one of the reasons why she stared training to be a Huntress.

Other: She's just lonely. Help her.

Name: Lolong Grün.

Gender: Male.

Age: 17

Sexuality: Straight.

Species: Salt Water Crocodile Faunus (Long crocodilian tail, extreme bite force, secondary clear eyelid, crocodilian teeth for his canines).

Alignment: Neutral Good.

Looks:

Spoiler:

Eye color: Dark Yellow.

Personality: Lolong, while he looks intimidating at first, is generally nice. When calm, he is actually pretty kindhearted, reasonable, and pretty intellectual. However, he sees himself as a monster, and tries the best he can to control his anger. Because of his anger issues and his appearance, not a lot of people would want to hang out with him, making him appear to be a loner, while in reality, he desperately needs a friend to interact with.

Weapon: His weapon is a combination between a great sword and a grenade launcher, the blade mode having a metallic grey blade and hilt with a green base. While in Grenade launcher form, it somewhat pays homage to Halo's Brute shot, as in he needs two hands to hold it, and it still has a bit of the blade. It still retrains it's colors from sword form in this form too.

Weapon name: Juggernaut Smasher.

Semblance: Known as Primal Instincts, he gets stronger and more vicious the more he gets angry, similar to the Hulk. He also gets more durable, and can tank a lot more hits than the average aura trained person can. However, he sacrifices both his speed and his humanity when he triggers his semblance, so he hardly uses it unless he has to. A notable thing about this is that his eyes changes completely white, and his pupils become slitted.

Hobbies/skills: Lolong is incredibly strong, being able to lift an 4.95 ton truck and throw it across the street with relative ease. His tail, while primarily used for swimming, can be used for combat as well, being able to tail whip people. His tail whip is comparable to getting hit by a car, so it is best to stay clear from it.

Weaknesses/flaws: He isn't exactly the most agile of people, so he won't be doing any crazy flips. He also isn't very fast, but in the water, this weakness is eliminated. He is also relatively large, making him a big target. Like I said before, he has a anger problem, and people can exploit him because of it.

Likes: Meat of all kinds, swimming, breathing exercises, reading books, and soda.

Dislikes: People antagonizing him, getting treated like a savage, spicy foods, cold climates, and bullies.

Fears: He fears accidentally hurting people because of his rage induced outbursts, and getting rejected by everybody.

Backstory: He was born in a swamp based village, and attended a school a couple of miles away. Not a lot of people would even go near him, even the other Faunus' were scared of him. At first, he thought they were just shy, but when he went up to a group of people who then slowly backed away out of fear, he knew that it was because of his appearance. After repeated attempts of trying to talk with people other than teachers, he decided to just put his time into studying.

Other: He is very tall, standing 7'3 feet tall.

How much you've seen of RWBY: I seen basically all of it, even RWBY chibi.

Troy, you're approved. Nebula, you need to add on weaknesses/flaws, likes, dislikes, fears, backstory, other (optional), and how much you've seen of RWBY.

oh god i decided to change her armour maybe so i searched upp 'overwatch ladies' and an hour later i find myself with a new phone lockscreen and thirty tumblr tabs opened help me okay i'm done i finished the app

Edit: what happens if we have enough people to make different teams and we want to continue roleplaying would we just roleplay classes and hunter training?

Nebula: approved. WE'll get there when we get there. I suppose we could continue going on if we want to, but most of the time RPs end up being dropped before they're finished. I'll actually be surprised if we make it to the team making part.

Payne: approved. One a side note: with these names we could be team PLAN, PALN, (pronounced pollin), PANL, (pronounced panel) NPAL, (pronounced napalm, which was a substance used in the vietnam war to deforest the land. It was sticky in texture and could burn for 10 min on end at extremely high temperatures. Most people who got burned by it didn't survive.) LAPN, (pronounced lappin') LANP, (Pronounced lamp) LNPA, (pronounced lumpia, which is a filipino dish where an egg roll is filled with meat and then fried.) I'm gonna wait a little longer to see if anyone else wants to join before I start it off.

Edit: I just realised that Nebula and Payne used the same character from Overwatch as their picture. They're just wearing different things and are drawn by different people. XD

Welllll you have to admit D.VA is adorable and awesome, so yeah.
Also, I like the name NPAL and not just because it means I'll be leader... Also, NAPL could be said 'Maple', or 'Apple'. ALPN could be Alpine. PLNA, Plasma (bit of a stretch) NPAL could also be said 'Opal'. I dunno.

We'll see who'll be the leader from the RP. I doubt my character will be of leader material, but we'll see how yours fairs. (Now this doesn't mean try to make your character leader-y. Just have them do them and we'll see how things work out) It would be really funny if none of them were really leaders. Then I guess I'd just have to go for the name that I thought sounded the coolest.

I know i have nothing to do with this, but please don't use don't use Napalm. Imagine if a nuclear missile destroyed your country and family and others were using it as a glorified heroic name. Or if a guy named Mark killed your family and someone you knew named their kid Mark. I'm not Vietnamese myself but there are people sensitive about that stuff.

I think team ALPN will do just fine. Tis heroic enough to be classified as a team name, Alpine and what not.

Yeah, but the only problem with Alpine is that Minea said her character isn't leader-worthy. And Fira, I never thought of that, thanks for your input :3

Neither is a lot of people in the canon RWBY series. Jaune and Ruby ring any bells?

But if ALPN may not happen, any other good names?

I made a list of all the possibilities. You guys can hopefully come up with either new ways of looking at things or new things all together: NALP, NAPL, NLAP, NLPA, NPAL, NPLA, LAPN, LANP, LNAP, LNPA, LPNA, LPAN, PALN, PANL, PNAL, PNLA, PLAN, PLNA.

Edit: I asked one of my friends and this is what they came up with.
NAPL - Napple (an apple that has been modified with a coating to make you sleep, but is also injected with a powerful laxative that will wake you up after fifteen minutes.)
NLAP - Inlapidate (if you really stretch it)
NPAL - Nepal (....uh, that's a place)
NPLA - nexplanon (or Kepler, but I had to research to word to figure out how to spell it, and finding out the spelling, I might have been saying it wrong)
LAPN - Lapping
LANP/LNAP - lanap
PALN - Palen
PANL - Panel
PNAL - pinnacle (I keep thinking panel again)
PLAN - take a guess on my first thought

Thanks, Friend.

Great! I'll wait for them to make those then. Now teams have a lot more possibilities. Yay! Creating them will be fun! (Even though we might not get to that part.)

Name: Vanta Vazquez
Gender:Male
Age: 17
Sexuality: Straight
Species: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Looks:

Spoiler:

Eye color: Black with a red tint
Personality: Vanta is very quite and not very outgoing and tries to keep to himself. At least that's what it appears to be from the outside. On the inside he just wants to make friends with everyone but he is somewhat shy in a sense. If someone were to reach out to him then he would be able to show them the real him.
Weapon: Broadsword made of black steel. The hilt and guard are also black. The Sword itself has gears inside of it so at Vanta's will his Broadsword can extend into a Great Sword. This allows him to adjust and adapt to certain combat situations. He also keeps a round black shield to use whenever he has his broadsword out.
Weapon name: Anaklusmos
Semblance:The ability to send shockwaves from your body (bullets/sword slashes/shield bashes that blow people away with pure force or even if you touch somebody)
Hobbies/skills:
Skill 1.After watching his father work everyday for a many number of years and he himself performing surgeries, Vanta is very capable of performing delicate surgeries and mending simple wounds.
Skill 2. Vanta is skilled in CQC (Close Quarters Combat) He is also great at sword play.
Hobby 1. Vanta enjoys stopping by random hospitals to watch people on their death bed since he finds the concept of death interesting.
Hobby 2. Burning Money
Weaknesses/flaws: If he were to form a bond with someone he would never wish for them to be hurt. This would cause him to constantly put there life over his and he'd endanger himself in order to ensure the other person would be fine.
He's a bit hot headed so if he were to get upset he wouldn't listen to reason and thus throw himself into a bad situation
If he were to have to perform surgery on someone there's a chance he might use that person for his studies so he may learn more about the human body which could result in complications with said person.
Likes: Blood, Pain, Death
Dislikes: Money, Greed
Fears: Vanta only has one fear. The fear that he will die alone. He watched people die by themselves all the time working with his father. In the end it must be very scary having to go at it alone. His only wish is that he doesn't end up the same when dying.
Backstory: Vanta was born the son of a doctor. His father wished for him to grow up to be like him so that they could forever be wealthy. Vanta wanted more then wealth though. Deep down he yearned for adventure and wanted to be a great Hunter like the ones he had always read about. His father would constantly toss these ideas aside saying that being a hunter is not as profitable as it is to be a doctor. His cared more about money then he did Vanta. In order to try and secure Vanta's future his father would bring him to work with him. He would force him to watch hour long surgeries and people dying everyday. When he became of age he himself was forced to do conduct these surgeries himself. After his first patient passed away during a surgery Vanta realized how interesting the concept of death was. It was after this he began to study different ways death can be brought upon someone. It became his passion. Eventually he began to enjoyed inflicting pain on himself to further his medical studies. Around the age of 16 Vanta had enough of being forced to become a doctor. He enjoyed his medical studies and learning about death and pain but it wasn't what he truly wanted. He wanted to be a Hunter. In order to free himself of the burden placed on him by his father he attacked him. It all happened so fast during a heated argument about why his father felt like he could never be a Hunter. In a fit of rage his father destroyed a prototype sword that Vanta had been building in order to become a Hunter. This enraged Vanta to the point where he picked up a scalpel and sliced his father's neck. After realizing what he had done he hurried to save his fathers life. After an hour or two of careful medical work he had saved his dad. It was after this that Vanta packed a bag and said his goodbyes to his still unconscious father. Afterwards he burned all of his fathers life savings which he kept in a vault underneath his home. With nothing to his name except the schematics for his sword he set out into the real world. And when he was 17 he was finally able to apply to Beacon Academy.

How much you've seen of RWBY:All

Vanta: calm down a bit on the weapon. You have a sword-sword that can utilise dust in it's more pure form (which is uncommon due to it's unruly nature, most people just use dust bullets because it's easy to use.) And a gun shield. That's technically 5 weapons (I'm counting the pure dust as it's own since the only character in the series that uses it just has a normal rapier.) You're only allowed 3. So, try to figure something out with that. And you need to and on more to your weakness/flaws. Right now it's a situational thing. And int the RP he doesn't have anyone who could trigger such a situation, which means he basically doesn't have any weakness/flaws. Even if he did gain said person in the RP, then there would still be a portion of time were that would be the case. Everything else is fine. Just make a post telling me that you've edited things when you're done so I can check over them.

Edited

Vanta: accepted.
