I do home I'm not too late.


Name: Arnold Timsh


Age: 17


Sex: Male


Weapon Type: Kinetic Dust Blade Launchers. Wielded as a pair.


Weapon Designation: Fire and Fury

The KDBL's are just hilts,if you want to get technical,and the blades have to be specially made. The hilts are made of steel,and the crossguard has a pair of protrusions. Coming down the front of the blade is a knuckle guard,and sweeping up from the back of the blade is a blade trap,designed to entrap an opponent's weapon with a simple twitch of the wrist. Inside the hilt of each weapon is a Dust crystal. At the end of the hilt is a ring pommel.


The blades themselves are another story. They come in two varieties: Launcher Blades and Combat Blades.


Launcher Blades are much like grenades. They lack much of an edge,except for the point,which also sports cruel one-inch barbs. The blades are quite thick,as they contain canisters of powdered Dust,with a streak of paint running the length of the blade to denote what the payload will do,besides a simple explosion. When the blades explode,the material the blades are made of will fragment,and fly in all directions. Due to the internal structure,and the material itself,it will fragment uniformly and see an even distribution within the "Kill Radius",which changes,depending on the payload. The fragments are jagged and pointed.


Combat Blades are exactly what they sound like. They are simply knife blades,and attach to the hilt with a special locking mechanism to prevent accidental launch. The blades are single edged,with a thicker than average back,and are built incredibly strong,in order to improve usage of the blade trap. The blades are 14 inches long,and four fingers broad. They're shaped and balanced for equal parts thrusting and slashing.


The hilts are polished,galvanized steel,making them look oily silver. The Launcher Blades are made of unpolished steel,making them look dull gray. The combat blades are made of polished steel,making them look silvery.






The following is a list of payloads for the KDBL's. The Kill Radii are assuming normal human targets.


-Orange: Incendiary. Fragmentation kill radius is nearly non-existent at about three feet,but the blast propels burning Dust in all directions for about twenty.


-Red: High explosive. Fragmentation kill radius is a deflated ten feet,but the explosion is extremely energetic,and therefore much more destructive than the standard.


-Blue: Cryo. Fragmentation kill radius is does not exist. Instead,the direct victim's wound,and the area around it,is encased in ice,and the area for about thirty feet around sees a momentary decrease in temperature of about one hundred degrees Celsius,enough to freeze liquid water,and precipitate gaseous water.


-Green: Fragmentation. Fragmentation kill radius is about fifteen feet,and,aside from that,nothing special.


Personality: Arnold is quite snarky,and is always willing to crack a remark at something. Aside from that,he's also quite clever,and practices sleight of hand. He's exhibited remarkable practical knowledge,and has an astute grasp of tactics,but not overall strategy.






Arnold stands five foot six,and weighs 140 pounds. His build is lithe and slender,making him look lighter than he actually is. His face continues this trend,but doesn't look skeletal. His brown hair is thick and heavy,dropping down to just under the ears at the back,and is groomed to fall to his cheekbones at the front,past his green eyes.


His outfit consists of a pair of blue jeans and a somewhat loose blue shirt with long sleeves,with a white vest worn over top. Fire and Fury find their homes at the small of his back,in concealed scabbards under his vest,and even more concealed scabbards worn on a "vest" of straps between his shirt and outer vest. This hidden vest is home to numerous scabbards,each containing a blade without a hilt,and coloured to match the markings on the blades themselves.


On either hip are four pouches,again,coloured to match the blades they contain.


His feet are covered with a pair of simple black shoes,doing a remarkable job of looking like semi-formal shoes,despite being off-the-shelf runners.


His Aura glows blue.


Background: Arnold Timsh grew up idolizing the Hunters and Huntresses. He was told that they exist to protect humanity and their interests from the Grimm,their allies,and assorted n'er do-wells that plague the world. In the city of Vale,where he grew up,he saw plenty of this,especially when Roman Torchwick's gang did their "business" in the evenings all across town.


Hearing the stories of grand adventure,excitement,and,even great sacrifice,young Arnold Timsh felt the need to become one of the Hunters,and his parents eventually enrolled him in Signal Academy,one of the world's numerous minor academies. At Signal,Arnold learned much about how to fight,about why to fight,and how to use his Aura. One of the instructors noted that his Aura was weaker than most others,and recommended he use it in a more focused way,or cover for it with his weapon design.


He elected for both.


He trained himself to use his Aura in only a single direction at any time,concentrating it often on only a single point. When the time came for him to design and build his weapon,he decided to make the most out of Dust's energetic properties,making Fire and Fury as dual purpose grenade launchers and combat knives.


He eventually graduated Signal with the commendations of all of the staff and numerous peers,citing him as tactically aggressive,and overall mindful of any situation he's dropped in,even though he rarely outwardly exhibits it.


Now he comes to Beacon to further hone his skills under the legendary Ozpin at the equally legendary institution he runs. Signal was his crucible,and Beacon will be his anvil. No matter the result,he'll come out stronger.

@Robin man I think you should reconsider at least part of your weapon's functionality. Your primary enemy as a Hunter in this setting,the Grimm,are outright stated to lack souls,and the ability to damage the soul of your opponent would also be questionable with the setting's magic and Dust.


Also,it wouldn't hurt to familiarize yourself with the setting. RWBY isn't on Earth.
 
@Riddle78 Your accepted, it looks like you've put a lot of time into your character and it's great to have you aboard!


Also I know this is VYTAL not earth , but I sometimes post places on earth seeing as the series hasn't gone over the VYTAL equivalents, we can make up the VYTAL equivalents as we go along I'm sure. So don't worry too much about it @Robin man


@Robin man denied, (sorry if that sounds harsh) but theres some issues to streamline befre I can accept you. For one and I know this sounds rediculous but your character looks nohing like 16 . Maybe if he was held back a few grades but whatever not a big issue. Apart from that, I think you need to familiarize yourself with RWBY so you can understand how the weapons work, how the school works, and how it all ties together. I have the links in the 1st post if you need them.


@KrisiStar It's pretty great right? Episode 8 was awesome! And the revisions are appreciated!


As for everybody else, If you'd be willing to play a second character (maybe a teacher) or Glenda Goodwitch perhaps then there might be an moderator gig in it. I have some plans for the story that might make another teacher or female character necessary. So just PM me if you have any questions, I'll be posting tonight with the ship landing and the new chapter's beginnings.
 
Alright I'd just finish editing my character.I also watched the two newest episodes.I edited my weapons ability.And I also edited my characters bio a bit.So if you have a moment can you reread it please and thank you.
 
Name:Ruka Cayler


Age: 17


Gender: Female


Weapon Type: X-Umbrella,wires,and twin daggers

3_Pcs_Set_Angel_Baby_Throwing_Knife_Silver_Black_Rainbow_Color_with_Sheath__3497013531341521000675.jpg

Weapon Ability/Details:X-Umbrella functions as a sword,and grenade and submachine gun.The blade is hidden in the hilt,while the grenade/gun part is hidden in the tip of the umbrella.The wires on the other hand,are usually used for trapping,and strategy.If Ruka can actually place dust on the wires,for major damage,and team attacks.The wires are barely noticeably,and you are required to have keen eye to see it.Ruka's twin daggers can be used in closed combat,and in conjunction with her wires,for long range assassination.The daggers have white crystals embed inside of them,so that she can increase her speed with them,and throw them like missiles.


Bio:Ruka was born in an orphanage,which was actually a secret organization of assassins,No Trace.They have been known to kill many people,but have never been discovered.The kids are raised to be emotionless from a young age,but Ruka couldn't handle it.She saw what they were doing to the other kids,developed a way to lock her emotions away,calling it the Zero Realm,but this also caused her left eye to turn red,for some strange reason.When Ruka turned 9,a family came to adopted her,and they were the Cayler,the second largest dust mining company. The plan was to gain their trust,get on the will,then kill them efficiently,but Ruka's locked away emotions emerged,and she was trapped by the love of her new parents.Ruka couldn't kill them,but she was afraid that No Trace would hunt her down,and finish them both off.In fear she reported them to the authorities,but when the police and hunters/huntresses got to the head quarters,almost everything was gone,except for a few people and kids.Now Ruka fears that No-Trace are after her and her family,but after entering the academy,her fear has lessened.


Personality:Ruka is calmed and controlled,her emotions are almost always hidden.She occasionally smiles,and throws a peace sign.Ruka is very persistent,and she is like a deaf little sister,that loves to eat and annoy you.Ruka dislikes talking about her past because,she tends to break down when talking about it.Ruka's small and fragile look,makes her innocent and scared,but in truth she just like teasing people.She also has a signal for suckers and lollipops,which is just her holding her hand out.

Might as well


Name:Beck Saph


Age: 17


Gender: Male


Weapon Type: Lance


Weapon Appearance:

Buso_Renkin_Sunlight_Heart_by_Waterstrider.jpg
Weapon Ability/Details: The two halves of the blade section can separate to form an opening for a projectile attack which uses up the Dust crystal in the blade which are in the form of marble-sized pellets, but grow larger when they are shot out. The crystal type changes the pellet's element. It also somehow conveniently folds up into a small hexagonal shape for easy storage. It also has a blue color scheme instead of a red one.


Bio: Beck was always fascinated with the properties of Dust when he was little. Beck is the son of a Hunter and Huntress, so when Signal opened up, the two wanted their son to enroll in the school as soon as he was old enough. They made him his first weapon, which he uses with pride. They extensively trained him to fight, teaching him how to use Dust at a young age. When he was old enough, his parents sent him to Beacon without hesitation.


Personality: Beck is laid back, usually playing around and making jokes once in a while, although he loves a good fight. He somehow maintains his laid back attitude during a battle.

@Mitaku Your accepted but tone down the daggers, you can have them but the speed-up crystals gotta go. And make sure you don't overplay the assasins guild, I might be able to incorporate that into the story so PM me about it. But don't overplay it in the first arc or two...


@Flip Jester Boy Sorry but I can't allow a beam weapon, as much as I like Buso Renkin I can't let that weapon into a RWBY rp. Also this rp takes place at Beacon rather than Signal. I could maybe allow the lance to open and a rifle or gun be inside. If you want you can watch a few of the episodes for some idea on how the weapons work in this world. Anyways if I can be any help just let me know.


@Robin man accepted, just remember to read the rules.


how many characters are we up to? Cuz I'm trying to have even teams. I beleive we have 9. Which would mean 3 teams of 3, but that means everyone stays active. I'd like to do three teams of four but who knows if we could do that..
 
I watch RWBY on Rooster Teeth instead of Youtube, so I know what's going on. The glowing part on the side is a Dust cartridge, so it could fire the element the crystal is.
 
@Flip Jester Boy Ok but the cloth that channels the dust into the weapon is Buso Renkin entirely. So just revise the weapon a bit and let's take a look at it. I also watch RWBY, (tonights episode was pretty great lol) so I just don't want any OP weapons. A beam seems to be kinda OP, so I'm a little worried about that. Especially knowing just how powerful the lance from Buso Renkin is so that's the only reason. Anyways just revise the weapon and lets take it from there.

If you'll allow it,I have a counter-argument against beam weapons in the RWBYverse. It outlines the requirements of such a weapon and how they would need to be met to see use from a Hunter.
 
I hope it's not too late to join! I love the RWBY episodes, I just got done watching 8 and it was awesome!



Name:


Prism Beteedle


Age: (Please be between 15-18)


17


Gender:


female


Weapon Type:

​



A variety of ropes and dust. At the end of each rope is a type of hook or blade, combined with certain dusts, the rope weapons are used in different ways such as, propelling her body distances that she is unable to jump alone and, used offensively against an enemy by throwing the bladed or hooked weapon and using a dust to enhance the damage. Prism uses only three types of dusts; white for movement/impact, cyan for ice and, red for fire.


Weapon Appearance:

​



Prism wears a light-weight, pink utility belt that she created herself to fit her perfectly and allow her to move freely without having her weapons get in her way. Along the belt is her ropes, in all she has four, each one ending with a different weapon; grappling hook, spear, straight blade and curved blade. At the base of the weapons (where the rope meets the steel) is a spinning tube that holds her three types of dust.


Weapon Ability/Details:

​



With only a quick click Prism can choose the desired dust with the desired effect before she quickly throws it away from her body and to whatever target she is aiming for. After hitting her mark and either slamming into with added force, fire or ice, the ropes are designed to immediately retract for easy reuse. The weapon in all is rather simple in design but packs a mean punch when and if used correctly.


Bio:

​



Prism was born and raised as an only child. Her father and mother both work for Signal and are pretty high ranking officials. They both used to be hunters/huntresses but are now "retired" from the field and instead work with classified information within the Signal base, are very busy and don't see Prism much at all. Having parents that are both very efficient at their career, it is needless to say that they were pretty set on Prism working toward a similar future as a huntress, not like Prism was opposed to it or anything, she loved the idea of being some awesome huntress and be able to fight to keep the world safe just like her mommy and daddy did! So, at the early age of 6 years old, Prism began taking lessons from her father on combat and how to use weapons that were comfortable with her which so happened to be long ranged weapons but not guns. Prism had a knack for throwing blades, the only problem with that is they don't come back very easily so she practiced with knives and hooks tied to ropes. It just felt right and with every throw she could just pull it back. With her mother she learned how to be quick, agile and very flexible. If she was going to work with ropes she would need to be able to move and swing around fast and without slamming into things and breaking bones, especially if she wanted to use dust as an amplifier for her weapon. Soon, after mastering as best as she could with what little she had, her parents helped her get the supplies she needed to create her own weapon, as most students do before attending Beacon Academy. Speaking of Beacon Academy, it was the best news of her life to hear that she was accepted into the Academy!


Personality:

​



Prism is a very determined and talented female.... when she concentrates. A lot of the time she is very bubbly and can get distracted very easily. It is easy to underestimate Prism's abilities with how scatter-brained she is but, trust that when push comes to shove she'll have your back or, have it removed from your body in an instant.
