RWBY: Old Rites (Out Of Character)

Tarquin said:
The annoying thing about creativity is that anything you think of usually either has been done before or is wildly impractical.


When I was thinking of what gimmick to give my character, I first considered doing a martial arts-dancing combo thingy.


Then I remembered that's Capoeira.


THEN I REMEMBERED THAT'S MERCURY'S SHTICK

I dunno, I actually like how that works. There's really no such thing as "original" anyways. The cool thing about stuff already being done already is that you can look at it, see what you like, what you dislike, and want to add to it. I'm not a very "original" person, since all I do is mix and match the stuff I like, but it works for me. :P

I guess I technically create new things by doing that, though.

All I meant was I was annoyed at how my attempt at creativity ended with me realising the exact thing had already been thought of and was also used by a character from RWBY already. It was a double whammy of unoriginality.


It's cool if you can find something new to make, but as I said, my attempts to make something even modestly new end with me realising it has been done by 17 other guys.

[SIZE= 14.6667px]Ohh, yeah, I understand. Though, even if weapons are similar, it's not too bad, since usually its user has a different fighting style and stuff. Something already being done isn't really a bad thing, imo. You can look at how people pulled it off and then do the same thing, just with your own ideas onto it. :) [/SIZE]

tbh, I think my weapon is original. I haven't seen anyone else use a warhammer shotgun.

[SIZE= 14.6667px]It's a cool concept, I agree. :D  [/SIZE]

[SIZE= 14.6667px]...also, uh, Ryuuko's fan-dagger thing is really impractical for throwing. She only has like...one.
I didn't think this through. :P
But at least she knows unarmed stuff and has her dagger-gun thing...that has to reload a lot.[/SIZE]
 
If anyone's been around here for so long they'd remember a certain RWBY RP called Beacon Academy. This was my first RP I joined. My chara's weapon was an exploding lamppost.

[SIZE= 14.6667px]Oooh, cool. :D
And I'm a newbie, haha. Only been here for like...three months, I think.
I forgot. I'll check later.
TBH, I don't actually have a lot of experience with RWBY RPs, so I don't really have a lot of OCs I can mention with cool weapons, because...they're all pretty generic or whatever.[/SIZE] 
 
I'll have been on rpn for a year come mid november. Oh how time flies

Basically its a dumbed down version of Madame Blossom's fan from the man with the Iron Fists.


Also, got accused of hacking for the first time in TF2 as an Engineer of all things.

[SIZE= 14.6667px]Wow, nice. :D
I haven't actually been role-playing for a long time, so if looks like I'm rusty, I probably am. :P  I am at least decent, I hope.[/SIZE]

[SIZE= 14.6667px]I literally just looked at Yukiko's weapon and said, "ayy, that looks pretty, just add a dagger to it! ...wait, I already said she only had one of these...uhm, how will she do against someone in long-range...give her a dagger-gun! ...wait, that kind of gun needs to reload a lot. Um...I guess...it balances her combat?"

Maybe I'll upgrade the fan some time where it can shoot out like, tiny dust-coated kunai knives or something.[/SIZE]

[SIZE= 14.6667px]Sounds really deadly. RIP in peace, anyone who meets this weapon.[/SIZE]

[SIZE= 14.6667px]I role-played at a really early age, round like...second grade, then stopped for a while, started again in fourth grade, stopped, continued in seventh grade, and now I'm still doing it.[/SIZE]

[SIZE= 14.6667px]Stick-fighting.
It's hecka rad.
You can disarm people like crazy with it and block all sorts of stuff. With a stick.
In particular, the kind called "Arnis" and it's a Filipino thing that was hidden to a lot of people a while back by them incorporating it into their traditional dances.
It also contributed in a lot of military battles and even outnumbered, Filipino stick-fighting won.
I believe it helped in some wars and the Spanish would use a lot of Filipinos who used Arnis.[/SIZE]
