OOC: Hey all! This is the RP thread for the RWBY roleplay. Find my own post below with a suggested format (first and last line). Apart from this, please do not upload your posts with some fancy designs around them; I personally find that to be quite distracting
Kingdom of Vale – Vale city – Close to Beacon – Oceanos
Loud voices sounded through the living room door. “You know it was always my dream to be a huntsman, and only because of my stubborn parents I am still working the fields everyday!”, his father shouted. “It is dangerous!!”, his mother yelled. “IT IS HIS DREAM!!!”, his father roared, hitting something with his fist; a table, maybe. Silence.
“It is his dream, Sotis”, he repeated, gently this time.
Oceanos stumbled through the streets of Vale. Humans and Faunus passed him. Many of them stared. He was not exactly surprised by that. He was covered in scratches, his clothes were tattered and hang much more loosely on his body than they usually did, and while his own nose had grown used to his smell, probably everybody around him was not accustomed to the stench of not washing in days – and not properly washing in weeks. After escaping the Grimm attacking Sagisō, he had wandered through the forests for weeks, surviving only because of the skills everyone in his former home had been taught at an early age. Hygiene had been quite a bit lower on his priority list than he would have preferred, pushed down by, oh, well, not getting killed by Grimm and not getting killed by starvation and not getting killed by dehydration and just in general, not getting killed. He had cleaned himself – and his clothes, as well as possible – in rivers and lakes, and when he had reached the first village after his escape, a good soul had given him shelter, food and he even had had a bath. The next day, a lucky coincidence had helped him further. A local merchant wanted to travel to a village to the north, and Oceanos had accompanied him on his horse carriage, in return promising to provide as much protection as he was able to in his state. Thankfully, they had only happened across a small number of Beowolves once, which Oceanos had managed to dispatch of quickly.
After reaching the village, he had had to go on by foot again.
When, finally, he had reached the Kingdom of Vale, he had managed to cut the rest of his travel shorter again. One day, he reached some tracks, and when a train drove by, jumped aboard. The passing by of a ticket inspector had forced him to get off only some hours later, but he was lucky when he got on the next train and reached the city of Vale without any more incidents.
After clearing his throat several times – he had not spoken in so long that his voice refused to work properly –, he had managed to approach a passerby and ask for directions to the academy. The first two had immediately turned on their heels and walked away. The third – a faunus woman, he could not help but notice –, had scrunched up her nose, but given him the information he wanted.
Now he was walking up a wide avenue. Imposing arches him, forming what appeared to be concentric circles. Students of all stripes were busily moving around, many carrying various weapons with them. Quite a few spared him a watchful glance.
Oceanos could not believe it. He had actually reached his destination. This was Beacon academy.
The moment he came to this conclusion, he felt exhaustion washing over him.
“Shit”, he murmured. Two metallic clangs sounded as even his last trickle of concentration evaporated and his chakrams dropped to the ground. The next moment, he dropped to the ground.
