Dude who eats dust

what

What? It's an expendable resource, something's gotta eat it.

[kj1225]

Which one of these five character ideas should I use?:
Character who nullifies other Semblances/maybe Dust (Reusing Chartre from the last RWBY RP)
Amphibious/underwater fighter character
Exceptionally sickly and frail and yet determined girl who has a lot of aura (but isn't very nice)
Tinker girl
Dude who eats dust to regenerate aura

That last one, or the second one. Most since I doubt the effectiveness of having a character just for amphibious fights.

[Powder Miner]

Dude who eats dust

what

Semblance.
(And the underwater chick would still be able to fight above water :p I had the Lady of the Lake in mind when thinking her up, she'd have a big ol' sword)

Also, on second thought, scratch the dust-eater. I ain't really feeling him.

[TheBiggerFish]

PTW.
Might throw together a sheet, too.

[PrivateNomad]

We had enough anti-semblances last game, so it tends to be an unoriginal idea.

Name: Melodia Viridi
Age: 17
Sex/Gender: Female
Race: Human
Description: She normally wears a green hoodie, with a light shirt underneath, and a short tan skirt with biker shorts underneath. Her hair is short, cut in a bob haircut and the colour of straw. Her eyes are a deep green. Melodia's build is quite light and athletic, with her legs being quite toned from years of using them to compliment her fighting style. Her light shoes have metal soles and tips to allow her to engage in combat with them and compliment her fighting style, and her exposed shins are protected with shinguards. She is on the lower end of five foot, being somewhere between 5'2'' and 5'3''.

Her general attitude to life is quite laidback, and her general behaviour conveys enthusiasm and hyperactivity. However, if she finds injustice near her, Melodia will try to resolve the conflict- and if it is not resolved, then so much for the unlucky fool who attempted to cross a trained Huntress who happens to be skilled with kicking people in the face.
History: PM.
Semblance: Vox: Melodia can manipulate sound. She can do anything with it from dampen sounds within a small area around herself, to blocking out someone's voice, but her most powerful offensive application is the ability to turn her shouts into deadly weapons of unrelenting force (you figure it out), being able to use her yells as basically forms of projectiles that pierce barriers that block material projectiles.
Weapon: Viridian Sonata:

• - Aria Form: In this form, Viridian Sonata resembles a green, metal yoyo, with musical notation marks around the rim on each side, with the string toughened with Dust to keep it from being cut or snapped; the weapon acts as a flail to hook around defenses. On the other end of the handle string, a small clamp acts as the hoop for Melodia to slip her fingers into, with a small switch upon it. When clicked, the head of Viridian Sonata immediately sprouts spikes, increasing it's deadliness. There is also a small slot for a Dust cartridge within the head; when activated, the head will inflict different effects on contact (fire Dust burns, lightning Dust shocks). Currently, Melodia has equipped Wind Dust into Viridian Sonata. The string range is equivalent to some of the shorter-ranged ranged weapons.
• - Sonata Form: In this form, the string used to swing Viridian Sonata is surrounded by inflexible metal plates, turning the weapon into an a small mace, costing her range for the benefit of stability. The switch now allows the head to spin around, turning the head into a makeshift rotary saw.

Stats: (To come, when the system comes around.)

Nearly complete.

Oh hey, another RWBY RP.
PTW for now, dunno if I can be arsed to join or not.

Name: Reynard Umber.
Age: The high end of 17.
Sex/Gender: I'm offended, Projeck. Male.
Race: Faunus.
Description: Reynard wears a beige coat over white uncerclothes. Leather belts and straps adorn the coat, which also splits into two tails in the back, ending just above Reynard's knees. Long, russet pants, baggy at the thighs, cover his legs. He wears contrastingly black boots and a sandy-colored bandana over his dark hair, which seems to stick upwards most of the time. Matching dark ears poke out from the top of his head and a fluffy tail protrudes from his waist, turning white at the tip, while bright, golden eyes peer at the world. Though his height is definitely increased by his shoes, he stands almost 6'0".

A quiet sort, Reynard isn't much for conversation. He prefers listening, maybe. Nothing seems to bother him, either; he keeps the same almost-bored expression whether in heated combat or sharing a few quick words after training and looks the same while glad, upset, angry, or anything inbetween.

History: Life in Vacuo wasn't too tough on Reynard, even as the one family of Faunus in a desert hamlet otherwise entirely human. Many other kids picked on him about his heritage, but there wasn't anything wrong with having ears and a tail in his eyes, so it didn't bother him much and they stopped eventually.
At the age of sixteen Reynard's father passed down the Arid Sands, his family's heirloom weapon, to him, believing him old enough to wield it properly and use it to make a life for himself. Reynard excelled in both accounts, developing a complicated and unique style with the weapon and traveling around Vacuo, meeting all sorts of people - including a Faunus similar to himself, also traveling, but he didn't stay with her long. Though he visited home often, someone he met on his journey suggested he get formal training to improve his skills further, and he departed from his family one last time to make that idea a reality.

Semblance: Mirage: Reynard can create images of things, from large objects such as tiltjets to people to things as simple as a vase of flowers. Larger objects or sustained mirages take more out of him, however. Mirages aren't solid objects and one can pass through them as easily as air.

Weapon: Arid Sands, an enormous broadsword in its first form. Colored the tan of a desert, it sits almost five feet long, narrower in the middle than near the tip or the hilt. The guard on the Sands curves slightly outward, towards the blade, and the pommel has a strange, intricate design on it. A small button sits on the center of the guard to switch forms. It doesn't seem to use Dust at all.
In its second form, the Sands becomes a musket, keeping its color. Half of the blade folds into itself, creating the stock, while the handle of the Sands opens up as the barrel. In this form, the Sands has an elegant, curving shape to the stock, with the same design on the stock as the pommel has in its first form. Though it could certainly be modified so, the Sands is not able to fire Dust cartridges other than the Sand ones Reynard uses.

Traits:
By taking traits, a player can lower certain subattributes in order to boost others. For example, one could lower their STRENGTH by 1 to increase their PRECISION by 1 if they use a melee weapon, or decrease their DUST ATTACK to increase their DUST CAPACITY. These are different from perks, and don't necessarily have to decrease and increase by 1.

Perks:
At first level, a player may have two perks, and gains an extra one at level 5, 10, and so on. An example of a perk would be Sienna's reactive aura.

Semblance: A player's special ability, whether it uses dust or not.

Weapon: A player's weapon, giving bonuses to certain stats depending on its form. A rocket launcher might give a bonus to dust proficiency while a dagger might give a bonus to precision.

PTW AND JOINING

[Akroma]

I haven't counted, are there still spots open?

[SOLDIER First]

There's, say, four applications posted. So hurry up.

[Akroma]

that sort of depends how serious Projec takes "reserved" spots.


then again, just counted, and thats 3 who actually reserved a spot, and a lot more who went "if I can be arsed". So I guess I can grab a spot, yay. Now, time to actually get a character idea.

Vendetta - When striking from the shadows, Orchids critchance is doubled.

History: TBD
Description: Yep, I am taking the lazy route here, I always have.

Semblance: Nyx. Orchid melds into the shadows on the battlefield, approaching her enemy unseen, unheared, to strike at vulnerable targets. Using her aura, she can stretch and bend shadows, limited only by the total surface area of the shadow. Using dust, she can create shadows where there might be none.

Weapon: Erebus. Normaly a very thin, yet deceptively heavy quarterstaff that is so devoid of features, it looks almost two-dimensional. The weapon can also be thrown, in a sort of spear form. The weapon seems to be fluctuating between blunt force and a very sharp edge
+3 damage in either form, really, one is just thrown and the other not.

Spoiler: Violet (click to show/hide)

Name: Name: Violet Centuria

Age: 16

Sex/Gender: Female

Race: Human

Description: A girl with bright violet hair and eyes, with thin glasses. She generally wears comfortable clothing in monochrome colors, most often white t-shirts and black shorts and sneakers, with a white jacket if it's cold out, and gloves at all times. She's 5 feet even, with a thin and light build. She gives off the air of a librarian, quiet and polite, despite the obvious youth.

History:  The Centuria family owns one of the biggest companies in Remnant, Centurion. It has offices and labs across all 4 kingdoms, specializing in producing and developing new weaponry for Hunters and Huntresses, with several side projects such as finding a way to mass-produce Dust in a safe way and making settling outside of the main kingdoms safe. Violet is the youngest daughter of the family. She has good relations with her siblings- her older brother Onyx, her older sister Magenta, and twin brother Platinum-, who with the exception of the older sister all go to schools outside their home country of Atlas. Onyx goes to Beacon in Vale, and Platinum is currently applying at Haven. A character who would be more familiar with wealthy families or companies might recognize her.

DEXTERITY: 2
   PRECISION: 4 (Damage: 4d6 + 3)
   CRITICAL: 4%

Traits:
-2 Armor, +2 Precision

Perks:
Redirection: If an attack misses Violet while she is in range of 1 enemy unit other than the one who attacked, the attack is directed to one of those enemies.

Transfer Power: If Violet is in contact with an ally when she uses her Semblance, they can use the same abilities to a lesser extent if they remain in contact.

Semblance:
Time Stop: Violet can stop time for all but herself and anyone she is touching, for a short period. She can go longer, but with adverse effects such as exhaustion. To those who were not able to move, no time has passed and whatever Violet or or other non-frozen people did would seem instant.

Her Semblance can allow her to do more attacks in a single round as she continues to attack while time is frozen. GM decides amount, because I don’t know how to balance it.

Or, she can take the time to carefully aim, raising hit chance drastically (Not sure how much would be ok, so leaving this to the GM.)

She can use her Semblance to move a longer distance in a single turn, seeming to teleport to anyone observing.

She can only use her Semblance once per turn, and has to wait 2 more to use it again. If she uses it before that cooldown is up, she takes damage.

Weapon:
Clotho (as suggested by Elf): When her weapon is in its primary form, Violet does not appear to have any weapons at all. In reality, she uses several extremely long razor wires attached to her gloves, which she can control through subtle gestures and her aura. By using her aura, she can make the wire take the shape of dual knives, or even pistols with the dust bullets already inside; this is because of the tech used to make the weapon, explained in backstory.

Wires Form: Based on Dex, 1 extra attack at half damage.
Knives Form: Ignores 1d6 of Armor.
Pistols Form: Can fire dust rounds, +1 Dust Attack.
