So I am looking for a few literate people to join me in a rp based on the Rooster Teeth show RWBY.
I would like to keep this relatively small to keep the pacing moving forward but am happy for people to have multiple characters. I would like to make this open to everyone, even those who haven't seen the show, and as such it will be OC's only with the exception of teachers. If someone wishes to play a cannon Professor I will have no problems with that. I also understand it is quite hard to come up with original ideas for weapons so will allow weapons similar to those found in the show, although would like to see some different ones too.
For those who have not seen the show I strongly suggest looking it up, it is available on YouTube and is very good. I look forward to seeing if there is any interest in this, taking ideas on plots and seeing your character Ideas.
If you are interested in joining please complete the below form.
If joining as a member of the White Fang that is not a student please say in the 'role' section.
Semblances are unique. If another character already has the same semblance you may be asked to change it.
Fill out form as a paragraph including.
Name -
Role - (Student, Teacher, Other)
Description - (Physical and personality)
Weapon -
Semblance -

(I'm interested. ^.^)
(Though before I get too invested, what would you consider literate? I'd consider myself literate but I understand people have different standards for this owo)

Okay, I can do that. :) My posts tend to be anywhere from four to six lines but I can go longer if I have time.
And yes, I am most definitely a fan.

I've got a few OCs that I could adapt to this. Four students and two adults. One of the adults is a teacher and the other is a graduated huntress. For the students I have two male and two female, all human. One of the girls is from Vacuo, the others are all from Vale.
And if necessary I can make a new character as well.

Brilliant. I was thinking of starting with one team of first years for now to keep it manageable as there is currently only two of us. But teachers and other characters I am not limiting. I also have a faunus student I may bring in to mix it up a little

Yup, I don't plan to use all of my characters :P
I'm thinking I'll bring in the adults and one of the students for now, maybe more if we don't get more people. The student I'm thinking of is a guy, sort of a tanky fighting style. He uses a shield/buzzsaw as his main weapon. He doesn't hate faunus but he's from a rural area so he hasn't had much interaction with them and is kind of prejudiced.

Ok then. It's only 5:00pm here so we definitely are, but it shouldn't matter too much. I'm mostly on in the mornings (like 9:00am-11:00am PST) anyway so it should be manageable. I think. owo

Aymeric Velmortie Role: First Year Student at ______ academy
Aymeric is a tall and lean young man standing about the height of 6'5". Despite only being seventeen he has the look of a man deep into his twenties. His face is quite intimidating with it's square like shape, but more importantly the large scar across his face. He has long shoulder length raven black hair that is tied loosely into a ponytail that rests against his back, however a slight set of bangs travels down his forehead. Along with the long hair is a connected bushy beard the kind you would expect from a man of experience rather than a young lad. The beard is quite thick despite his young age, and it connects to his moustache giving him a full set of facial hair. His nose is quite sharp, and pointed. As for his body structure he has the look of a slim man with clothing though he's the kind of guy who packs quite a few hidden muscle went the shirt goes off. He's not the biggest guy with muscle, nor does he try to be. He tends to wear a pair of black pants that have a combat ready look to them, and a pair of matching boots to go along with em. However his upper clothing isn't as combat ready look wise. He rocks a black button up shirt that he, well doesn't button up. He leaves the shirt open to give his enemies a good spot to target which to him gives him the ideal spot to guard. Along his stomach to his chest is a tattoo of a dragon that swirls up in the middle of his chest with it's face looking out at the viewer of the tattoo. Aymeric is a pretty calm guy in fact he is annoyingly calm to almost any situation, this leads to a lot of people getting annoyed by how calm he is during a sad, or emotional moment that leaves everyone else crying, or whatever. His face is always locked in a poker face so no one is able to guess how he feels which causes friendships to be hard to form, let alone any type of romantic fling. He is a tactician at heart, in fact he's the kind of guy you'd want to be leading strategies when outnumbered. He's a masterful hunter and hunter. He spent his childhood alone after his village was destroyed, his parents murdered. He raised himself alone in the wild until one day he decided to enroll at one of the academies in hopes of finding a purpose in life past killing Grimm. A few hidden facts about this young man is he loves chess, he had only just learned how to play the game however once he was taught how he quickly picked up on it. Aymeric uses a weird weapon as most people always expect him to have a cool sword, however instead of that he uses a small black dagger weapon that has the ability of turning into a pistol. In it's dagger form the hilt of the dagger is a simple black design that leads off into a ebony blade that had a hook like shape for it's blade instead of a normal look. In gun form the dagger turns into a black glock nineteen design with a silencer extending at the end of the gun. Finally onto the male's semblance which is another weird thing about him, everyone always says they expect him to have a power based ability. However he's quite different as his semblance is known as Extreme Speed. When activated a green aura surrounds him, and he is able to quickly move about the area. This allows for quick slashes with his dagger, or a barrage of quickly shot bullet storming into the enemy's direction.
Scarlet Delvont Role: White Fang, and Teacher at _____ academy (Spy for White Fang)
Scarlet is a average height young adult lady standing around 5'4" in height. Her body is quite lean in fact she doesn't have very much muscle at all. Her face has a sharp structure to it giving her a sly fox kinda of look to her. Which fits since she is a fox faunus. She has shorter hair for a female as it barely reaches down to her shoulders in a bob like style. Her hair color is black. Along with her hair she has a bushy tail that is behind her, along with her hair it is black however has a white tip to it. She has fox ears as well so it's quite hard to hide she is a faunus though she shows no sign of caring if people know about her faunus blood. As a teacher she wears a brown kimono type outfit that gives her a gentle teacher vide that she tries to go for. However during white fang mission she wears a white robe that has two chains falling down near the neck. Her eyes are a black tint to them.
Scarlet is a pretty good actor to the point where she has two different personalities. As a teacher Scarlet is known to be the kind, and gentle teacher that most students love. She jokes around with the students, and acts like everyone's friend instead of the all knowing teacher. However the whole gentle teacher vibe is a total act she puts on to not show her true colors. As Scarlet the white fang spy she is a sadistic, and cold young lady who will do anything to further the group's goals. She is loyal to the white fang to a T. She enjoys messing with people, and inflicting pain upon her enemies. As a person she enjoys reading, and studying over training.
Scarlet's weapon is a recurve bow that has an old look to it rather than the futuristic vibe most people's weapon give. The bow does not turn into a melee weapon, nor does it have another form. Instead it's a simple bow that uses different type of dust. For example fire arrows, lightning arrows, and etc. The bow has three blades on it in case someone tries to get to close she does have a last resort though it's not the best for close range.
Scarlet's semblance is a simple ability that lets her summon platforms that'll either give her a quick get away, or let's her leap into the air. She summons red circles that'll explode sending her either forward, or upward depending on what she's using it for. This can also be used to send her enemies flying if they get to close. (Hope Aymeric is good. ^^ I'll work on Scarlet tomorrow, for I'mma go to sleep now.)

Dustin Marrón
Teacher at Beacon Academy
Dustin is thirty-five years old, 5’10 with an average build and lean musculature. He’s not brawny nor particularly large or tall, but he’ll still kick your butt with finesse and efficiency. His most startling feature for most people would be his prosthetic leg- were it not for a near fatal injury on a mission against a White Fang base, he would still be an active huntsman. As it is he finds the next best thing to be making sure the new huntsmen and huntresses don’t make the same mistakes he did. The leg is a dull bronze color and covered in scars, scratches, and the occasional dent, much like his actual skin (minus the dents, of course). It extends all the way up to about mid-thigh and is usually hidden by his clothing, revealed only by the metallic clank of his step and slight whirring noise of the joints. He has strong, angular facial features. His skin is lightly tanned and his eyes just slightly slanted. That along with a certain smoothness to his cheekbones and nose are the only hints of his half-Mistralian identity. His eyes are a dark green and his long, shaggy hair is light brown. He has a clean, neatly trimmed goatee and mustache to contrast with his sloppy hairstyle. Fortunately said hair is usually covered by his hat, a chestnut brown cowboy hat with a dark hatband that has a Nevermore feather tucked into it. This hat completes the rest of his getup, which includes a white button-up shirt covered by a brown leather vest and a tan duster coat to go over it all. This is followed by jeans and brown leather shotgun chaps with tan cowboy boots. His everyday teaching outfit is a little less extreme- he’ll usually forgo the duster, vest, and chaps- but he never ruins the Cowboy Aesthetic™. His colors are obviously brown and tan.
Dustin is serious and puts on a grumpy air. He has a rough demeanour and this combined with his scarred appearance and clear combat-readiness puts a lot of people off, but in reality he’s pretty cool once you get past his roughness. Dustin is laid-back in the classroom and informal, preferring to be called simply Marrón rather than professor, sir, or mister, and is pretty tolerant of student behavior unless it interferes with learning. He much prefers doing to talking and that attitude filters through to his classwork and homework, which is usually more hands-on. He has a sarcastic streak and isn’t afraid to sass students and fellow staff alike and is very loyal to his school and to his students. Dustin has a lot of stories to tell from his time as an active huntsman and isn’t afraid to talk about his past or his injury, though he does tire a bit of having to explain it to literally everyone. One thing he won't talk about though, is his deceased teammates or his father, who died early in Dustin's youth. He is still a skilled huntsman despite his handicap, with a quick and efficent no-nonsense fighting-style. His leg barely hampers his movement, but the cowboy considered it a liability in a world where lightning dust and electricity in general are common weapons, not to mention the occasional phantom pain that could attract Grimm.
Dustin's weapon is a simple but elegant revolver that can fold and condense itself down into a small cylinder. Paired with a special bracer on his right arm, the cylinder can rest on his inner forearm. When his wrist is flicked in a certain way the folded revolver slides down a track in his bracer and into his hand, unfolding along the way into it's full form. In this way he is able to draw his weapon in less than a second and carry it on him at all times. Dustin named the weapon "Diplomatic Solution" because he felt it was ironic. More often though it is simply referred to as "Solution".
Dustin’s semblance is simple and honestly pretty useless in battle, though it does help to maintain some awareness in battle. He’s able to detect weapons of any kind, even through walls or obstacles, within a short radius of approximately twenty feet. (About 6 meters for you non-Americans :P) He can tell where the weapons are, what kind they are, and what form they are in, but he cannot see the person wielding them or detect what dust they are using, nor can he see the projectiles fired by the weapon. He does not detect normal objects like cutlery, silverware, bricks, bottles, etc. unless they are picked up and used aggressively, in which case his semblance detects the aggression and shows the object as a weapon. This sense is vulnerable to manipulation through illusion or other means. It is always active and has no drain on aura, but to be honest it’s pretty useless except in certain circumstances.

Manako Murasaki
Graduated Huntress
Manako is a smaller woman, standing at only 5'3 with a slim build and slight curvature. Her height combined with her youthful appearance and personality often make people think she's much younger than she actually is. She's thirty-four, just one year younger than her cousin Dustin, who she is still very close to. Her straight hair is relatively short but frames her heart-shaped face nicely. Her features are smooth and subtle, with a small nose and almond-shaped dark purple eyes. Her hair is jet black but with a purple streak down the right side to match her weapon and outfit. Her small size is used to her advantage in battle, where she can find a perch and remain hidden while picking off foes from afar or use her agility in close-quarters to avoid attacks. Her outfit is tough to describe; it’s reminiscent of traditional Mistralian (read: Japanese) wear with a more modern twist, with dark purple sashes and layered cloth over a form-fitting black long-sleeve shirt and black leggings. Her right leg and her arms are left free of armor and additional padding to provide full range of motion, while her left leg and her chest have segmented plates like a samurai’s armor worn over her other clothing. Each plate is covered in black cloth to keep them silent when moving. She wears fingerless gloves on both hands and knee-high purple boots. Over all of this she wears a dark gray hood and cloak with subtle camouflage markings. She discards this cloak whenever she has to fight at close range, using it only for sniping or travel. Her color palette is purple and black.
Manako is energetic and optimistic, a joker who never really lost her childish side. She’s not naive and knows when to be serious but she can often come off as airheaded or too relaxed. She’s pretty chill as a person, very informal, open, and carefree. Despite her laid-back attitude it’s very hard to sneak anything past her as she’s very perceptive. Manako is quite observant and has a photographic memory which makes her a good scout. She usually works alone, with her partner (Dustin) retired and the rest of her team lost in the same operation that cost her cousin his leg. She trusts few people despite what she might say and buries a lot of secrets and emotional baggage under her cheerful exterior. She is a great fighter whatever her size and youthful appearance may suggest, both a skilled shot with her rifle and an efficent and deadly combatant with her naginata. Her fighting style is smooth and elegant, with spinning moves and flourishes that appear purely aesthetic but actually preserve momentum and are fine-tuned for fighting multiple opponents as one must often do when fighting hordes of Grimm.
Manako's weapon is a naginata that can change into a bolt-action dart-firing sniper rifle. (I actually drew a picture of this one if anybody's interested owo) She's named the weapon "Sunēkubaito", or Snakebite, because of the blade of the naginata resembling a snake's fang and the dart rifle's ability to shoot poison darts as well as tranquilizers or darts filled with various forms of dust. The dust darts are more like syringes and are filled with dust. On impact they break apart and explode, spreading fire, ice, or whatever other effect the dust is imbued with everywhere. The sniper/dart rifle has a long range but its compressed air firing system and use of darts rather than bullets means it lacks penetrating power as well as the pure damage of a standard shot, but it gains much more utility because the darts can be filled with poisons or tranquilizers allowing her to take down targets nonlethally or filled with dust for various other effects.
Ms. Murasaki's semblance is the ability to see objects much further away than a regular human and with more detail. Usually she has normal vision but when she concentrates hard enough on a faraway object she can see it closer up and in much more detail in her mind's eye. When doing this her eyes become a few shades lighter in color and glow slightly. If used too often this can be a strain on her eyes, but in her day-to-day work it is incredibly useful, especially for a sniper/huntress such as herself. The glow from her eyes can give her away if she's trying to be stealthy and the effect is worsened if she is looking through a scope, in which case the light is magnified by the lens of the rifle and becomes even more obvious.

Sev Mohkir
First-year Student
Sev is a seventeen year-old with an average height at 5’11 and a robust frame and stocky proportions. He is very well-muscled and quite large in stature, if not in height. His face is surprisingly gentle for his otherwise highly-masculine body, with smooth features and a large but flat nose. His eyes are small and round with a deep brown color. His skin is a dark tan, with short-cropped black hair. When not in school uniform, Sev wears a black leather jacket with a dark blue T-shirt underneath, jeans and black combat boots. His outfit in combat is pretty much the same but with a lot of added armor, including a silver chestplate, greaves, gauntlets, and small shoulder plates. His color palette regardless of any particular outfit is black, dark blue, and silver.
While someone might expect a man as large as he to be stupid and the strong-but-silent type, Sev is pretty much the opposite. He's sharp and quick-thinking, with a more traditional worldview and ends-justify-the-means mentality that can make him seem cold. Sev’s biting sarcasm and cynicism don’t do much to earn him friends. He can be impulsive in action and in conversation, with a tendency to be brutally honest and say whatever he's thinking. While he may joke or poke fun at people or play dumb he understands a lot more than he lets on and cares deeply for his team, his family, and his kingdom. His methods and his words can be extreme at times but his real intention is to make the world a better place, just like every other huntsman. He's also very confident in himself and his abilities- sometimes a little too much. His honesty can also be his downfall at times, as his no-filter speech can often get him into trouble.
Sev's weapon is a round flat shield with a buzzsaw blade inside that allows him to slice enemies with the edge of the shield. It's fairly small for a shield, extending to just slightly longer than his forearm to provide a balance between protection and weight, which is important since his shield is also his offensive weapon. Slots on the inside of the shield allow him to plug in any standard dust vial. When using dust the shield gains a slight glow and the buzzsaw gains the ability of the dust, like a flaming saw for red dust or the ability to freeze stuff it touches with white dust. For backup he carries a plain, standard issue pistol with no special transformations or abilities, but he prefers to use the shield. The shield is a plain silver color with a black symbol resembling a howling wolf's head in front of crossed blades on the front. He named the weapon "Wolfsbane", owing to the coat of arms on the front and its intended use of destroying beowolves and other baddies. Also he wasn’t feeling creative at the time, so that’s another reason.
Sev's semblance is to drain his own aura and apply it to others, bolstering their reserves or taking a hit for them even at range. To compensate he has a somewhat larger aura pool than most, but not by much. Separating his aura from himself is effortless but usually painful, so he really prefers not to but will do it if his help would contribute to victory or save someone. When his aura is applied to someone else it doesn't necessarily join with their own aura but becomes like a second layer over their own, glowing blue when depleted instead of whatever color the person's aura usually is. When the aura he gives to someone else is depleted the spent aura returns to him to regenerate, ensuring the transfer is only temporary. The separation and transfer are instantaneous but require a moderate amount of concentration which can be hard to gain in the middle of a fight. Generally the further away the receiver is, the more concentration is required to send his aura to them. When his semblance is active, regardless of who he's using it on, his aura glows slightly in a dark blue color.
--
I'll probably come up with a White Fang character later, but this is what I got for now. Sorry this took so long, though you're all asleep anyway so it doesn't really matter. :P Tell me if anything needs tweaking.
Manako and Dustin are cousins- Dustin is half-Mistralian on his mother’s side and Manako’s mother and his are sisters. When Dustin’s father died his mother moved back to Mistral to be closer to family and Dustin spent a lot of time with his aunt while his mother worked. As such Manako and Dustin are practically siblings. They also trained as huntsmen together and are Beacon alumni. I don't know if I need to put all that in a form somewhere, but I figured y'all should know if it ever comes up. :3
...And I'm off to bed as well.
