The Ua Scathach are a clan of nomadic Huntresses who tend towards the use of Dust-infused clothing as their weapons and the practice of Dust manipulation, as well as unconfirmed rumors of what seems to be 'true' magic- hexes, curses and the like. Maeve is the only daughter of the main branch of the Ua Scathach, and thus grew up learning the ways of her clan, including the infusing of Dust into oneself and clothing. She was sent to live with close relatives of the Ua Scathach, the Ua Duibhne, to attend a Huntress school for several years, before returning to her clan for two years and then heading to Bulwark.

This okay for background?

Cool beans.

If we're giving out backstory, why not:
Chartre comes from the Alcole family, a well-known vintner family on the southern coast of Atlas, known for the quality of their liquor. The vintner tradition is usually passed on from father to son through the generations.

While his father is a vintner, Chartre's mother (Blava Alcole, née Oceà) is a Huntress who very frequently took missions and patrols along the area the Alcoles are based at, and after knowing the Alcoles for years due to this, ended up falling in love with Chartre's father (Rouge-Eau Alcole) and married him.

Chartre would have been a vintner, but his awful inability to hold his alcohol pretty much drove a stake through that. So he ended up in the path of a Hunter, his mother personally homeschooling him through the training he would need to become a Hunter.

...So... for the last 3 days the game thread has gone slowly... I come back after being offline for a day and the thread nearly doubles... do I need to read it all? I will regardless, but do I need to RIGHT this minute?

Basically your group and Indigo's group and they decided to go to the school together.

[MrVoid]

Not really there was a run in with the Ponzini girls Nickel and Dime, you now have a team of four.

[Powder Miner]

Is it physically impossible to kill the red ones without a tea, of four, like... I could spray red dust-liquid at one and it wouldn't blow up?

[MrVoid]

You can try, but I can guarantee that it won't be good.

[Powder Miner]

Chartre and Ceil should totally team up with Carran and Cordo!
We could have team CCCC!
(Or, for that matter, Team CHOC!)

My input matters a lot less, rpg, but I have a little bit of a problem with your second semblance idea: Since it involves consciousness-shifting from one version of events to another, it sort of assumes that Amber is always in "focus" and our characters are simply the (minorly) alternate reality versions of them, otherwise either Amber would basically have disappeared or nothing would have happened, from our perspectives.

...and for a much simpler reason: even minor, IC retcons can get real messy.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it would be difficult. The second one is mostly supposed to be enemies, but could also just work for if someone wanted to change their action basically, or effectively to allow retcons with an IC reason for it. It's less that Amber's in focus(at least to me view of it, since it's not exactly the easiest thing to describe), and more like she's shifting the other reality into this one. Sometimes, other people can notice how everything changed, but most people just shrug it off as Deja Vu or mental vertigo or the like.

The first one involves seeing a short ways into the future, and seeing Truth, which can also be awkward.

I don't really mind either way, though. The first one would probably be easier over all, and make it so Amber was less of a 'look at me and my even special-er snowflake character'.


Also, Amber's backstory is basically that she's from a really rich family(stupendously so, not just mildly rich; like, Oil Tycoon Monopoly levels of rich), but they didn't get there by being nice, and they're worried Amber doesn't have the right stuff to keep up the family fortune. So, Hunter/ress School.

Also she's really good with her weapon and it's really high quality. Which is why the whole 50 Weapon Skill thing.

I like this idea a lot.

[MrVoid]

So the teams thus far for my personal notes.

Lloyd, Indigo, Maeve and Emeril

Braith, Raven, Nickel, Dime

Cordo and Carran

Justine and Aurum

Chartre and Ciel

Amber and Slate

The groups of two might want to pick their groups soon.  The bots are about to be triggered to attack. 

[Atnegam]

* Atnegam giggles

Heh, team LIME

[Powder Miner]

OREOSOME, whoever plays Carran, you cool with team CCCC happening?

[Khaiel]

Holy shit. I relax two days and there's 19 pages...

I'll just hold my post for now, because I am really confused. Feel free to speak to Justine though, I'm just too confused to take the initiative (I posted an action like 7 pages ago, but I can't find if it took effect or not)
