RWBY: Old Rites (Out Of Character)

Tarquin said:
I actually knew that legend from a while back. The reason I remember it well is because in one RP, a friend of mine made a little task IC based on the legend. He mentioned the legend as the inspiration OOC while the characters were in the middle of it, and what do you know, one person's character suddenly knows about the legend and knows what they need to do to win. Meta-goddamn-gaming.


As for Lyrika, I just randomly came up with the idea of someone blasting people to death with poetry. Actually had it in my head for a while, but never used it before.

Let's discuss our characters' concepts. Where their appearances and outfitd were motivated from, their backstory, weapon design, etc.


For me, Cup wasn't really inspired by anyone. Though his weapon was. His design in Dearest Friends was Reaper+Zealot. Now it's like Reaper and classical dual swords. About the backstory, I just wanted to make an average huntsman charactet with a family who would help him out through situations, unlike some other cases. Whatever.

For me Pewter Faraday started off with me picking a semblance and a color for his aura, I ended up with Electricity and Grey though he was almost Green and able to summon. Then came the name Pewter was obvious do to it being a shade of Grey and a lot of people being named after colors in RWBY. Faraday as in Faraday cage, a mesh of grounded wire used to absorb static electric and electromagnetic forces, it just kind of fit with the electricity semblance (Also if he ate a cellphone it wouldn't get a signal). Next came his personality and back story (of which i didn't go into great detail about on accident). Next was his weapon, I had trouble deciding whether I wanted him to be a close range or long range kind of combatant, i ended up going more close range but have him prefer fighting in a more medium ranged setting because i liked the idea of him electrocuting people from afar. And i used all of that information to design what he looked like, various parts of it are linked to various parts of what made him (His eyebrow scar is from when he was first learning to use his bladed whip). And various things like that. I tend not to get my motivation or ideas from other sources but create them by putting two and two together.
 
Grau was inspired by Bloodborne.


Izzy was inspired by when I tried to create a semblance for a weapon in found in Google (the one she uses)

Adrian is based off Gunslinger Girls. Conditioned killers who happen to be underage girls. Weapon is a based off the spear on the Atlas logo and her appearance is just a personal thing. (Cagali from Gundam Seed and Naoto from Persona 4 come to mind)


Argent is just based off your quirky mascot character with a dash of Lelouch when it comes to tactics. (Just a dash, enough to be useful at times but mostly to plan pranks.) His weapons are based of the weapons of Kingsglaive minus the teleporting.
 
Rendure is based off of the Rebel Class from Ragnarok Online due to the sheer amount of guns.


Her alt forms are from Megaman because Ciel is best girl.

Koamaru is just a result of me watching too much Cowboy Bebop and Psycho-Pass.

Grey's loosely based off myself, and the weapon function inspiration obviously came from Flynt Coal

Seraphina was mostly just from my head. I got inspiration towards the end to have her be a Xerneas-like magic blaster like her appearance which fit... but things just kept spiraling into all sorts of crazy things I could do! I'm half tempted to expand on the back story to make it one of the many different options swimming in me head, but eh? 


Most likely some influence will come from Supreme Commander Forged Alliance and Fairy Tail for her weapon
