				I like coming into a more experienced thread.<br><br>Yea, I went there.&nbsp; Looking forward to when the RP starts up.<br><br>Here's a question: is travel between cities rare at all?&nbsp; Because just because some of us lived in different villages doesn't mean we can't have met under different circumstances.

				Well, since the Mist thing happened Ten years prior I can assume each character has met each other somewhere before.<br>Childhood friends, rivals, neighbors, etc.<br><br>Likewise the Grimm creatures existed even without the Mist so cross country would not be unheard of.<br>Maybe with Militia or actual Eis Military escorts.<br>Bandits and the like existing and all...

				Good question! And good ideas. <br><br>Eis has never really had a bandit problem.&nbsp; It's too hard for them to operate in the climate for long periods.<br><br>Eis does not have a standing army. They do, however, have village militias, which also serve as the police force, primarily comprised of people without an active Aura or Semblance. So, they're not too effective, except as a way of policing themselves. <br><br>Overland travel wasn't too rare. There would be periods, such as blizzards, where it would be temporarily impossible; and some times, passes would became impassable due to massive snow accumulation, or avalanches, needing to be cleared out. But yeah, before the mist, there was pretty steady travel along the roads. Most travelers use sleds pulled by domesticated wolves (I don't think RWBY has ever mentioned if real animals exist alongside the Grimm, but at least in this RP, yes, they do. So wolves, elk, bears, and other natural animals that can handle the cold, do exist; mostly as snacks for the Grimm, hah).<br><br>There's also the ferry between Feur and Eis. That's always been running, ever since the place stopped being a penal colony. That's actually the safest travel for the moment, since aerial Grimm are a very rare sight, and there aren't any ocean Grimm (Or are there? Dun dun dun!).<br><br>And at some point, the 'kids' might get to ride around in an airship.&nbsp; 8-)

				Oh neato, so that significantly opens up the ability for our characters to know each other prior to joining the academy.<br><br>Given the martial prowess of his fathers, maybe he used to do a bit of traveling across Eis, with his fathers taking him on various trips.&nbsp; Being young, he never really understood why his fathers took him from town to town, but it was fun and he got to meet new kids.

				If they're in the same team, Welkin would at least try to help out Mori. Welkin would prefer all members of his team be able to work together and see one another as allies.

				Okay, got kinda bored! So while waiting for the game I figured i'd just kind of try 'What Welkin knows/feels about the others'. Its in a first person perspective and feelings might or will change in game! but it was a nice way to pass a bit of time.<br><br>Tamika: Focused, collected, and gifted I suppose that her seemingly icy personality works with her powers. She keeps to herself, and i’m not one to pry. Still, her powers would be a real benefit to anyone in her team! I just hope she can actually get along with whoever she gets assigned with.<br><br>Tahira: A faunus, she’s actually pretty interesting. I think i’ve even seen her in Schwarz back before we came to the academy! But that was then, and now she’s pretty skilled. Heard she’s been making good grades on tests and I think i’ve heard she’s a fast learner. I’ve heard some darker stuff like her being an orphan though, I bet that has to be tough. No one should be alone.<br><br>Charlie: A scrapper! I uh, guess I might be a bit biased since I find her really cute. Good thing that’ll never come up, right? Or I guess its good. But those fists of hers pack a punch, and anyone who mistakes someone who looks so innocent for being naïve is gonna get a thorough beatdown of somesort. Plus, as cute as she is she has shown off a real hotblooded temper which could be a bit of a drawback in a fight. We’ll have to see how it works out!<br><br>Caden: This guy is pretty alright in my book. Haven’t seen him around much, but the fact that he takes fights seriously but can still crack a joke or show that there still some optimism in this academy means we could be pretty fast friends. His armor is kind of interesting though, I wouldn’t go with the poofy pants look myself.<br><br>Luna: You know, if I had to peg someone as ‘not fitting in’, I don’t think i’d pin anyone specifically but Luna would be kind of close. Isn’t the Mauve family kind of rich around here? She must have her reasons to be here, and while she doesn’t seem to be the best fighter her semblance can heal people! That’s a really strong asset there and i’d say she’d make any team envious of that skill. Let’s just hope that she can keep up.<br><br>Willum: We all want to prove ourselves here but I think Willum is ready to go the extra mile and wants to really stand out. I think he’ll be a great teammate to anyone who can direct him into putting that energy in the right direction. <br><br>Mori: He doesn’t talk much, doesn’t seem to have many friends. Maybe for lunch next time around i’ll try to make something nice and share it with him. I mean, we all have to work in teams. Maybe he has his reasons as do we all but I don’t really like seeing anyone lonely all the time.<br><br>Armina: Hardass. Okay, I guess thats kind of mean. Hardass with a cause. Or I think its a cause. I hope that she is so hard to please and even less inclined to praise is because she doesn’t want us to slack off all the time and get killed by the mist. Still, it wouldn’t hurt her to relax just a bit.<br><br>Enya: I’ve learned not to be late to her classes, and not to sleep in them. Well, really do anything that you’re not suppose to in class. She’s not a kind or easygoing teacher, and we obviously need those here. I mean, she’s really, really easy on the eyes but appearances are totally deceiving. I’m sure that she has good reason to be though, as does her sister.<br><br>Headmaster: Hey i’m actually saying something good about a faculty member. This guy is great. He’s understanding, wants us to succeed, and still does his best even if he’s not a teacher anymore. A very good man that I guess I can’t say much else about. While he probably can’t kick as slike he use to I wonder how he handles a fight?<br><br>Titrit: The nurse. She’s not from around here and thats okay, we can use all the help we’ll get. While I don’t doubt her skills in the least, lets just say... Unless its a real sickness, i’d prefer to just tough it out and hope it doesn’t get too bad.<br><br>Vasili: A Schwarz hunter! Just like what he seems he’s a real predator. Like, in every sense. While I may not agree with everything he does, he’s survived so far and I have every intention of showing that Schwarz has capable people willing to defend our town.<br><br>Henrik: He’s another hunter in my town but... I don’t know a lot about him. I’ve heard he’s a real monster in combat though. Like the others from my town he’s what inspired me to be a hunte and I don’t intend to let anyone who defends my home down.

				Another good post, I do think the chemistry of the team will be fun. And i'm pretty happy Welkin has other outspoken teammates! He's also pretty pleased that others'll speak out against the teacher, though Tam did it in a much different way than he did.<br><br>Also in a shocking move that should surprise no one, RWBY vol2 was announced for this summer (http://roosterteeth.com/members/journal/entry.php?id=3149782).

Most of it is creative re-imaginings of real world places, though. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> About Yamu</div><div class="spoiler_body">Yamu is the name of a tropical jungle island in the northern parts of the world.&nbsp; Though rich in Dust, and other natural resources, it is exceedingly difficult to cultivate any of it, due to not only the terrain, but an overabundance of Grimm and poisonous animals.&nbsp; Yamu is also the name of the nomadic tribes that live in the jungle.<br><br>The Yamu are made up of five tribes, who move between various campgrounds throughout the year. The five tribes are known as&nbsp; Tigre (Tiger), Grúa (Crane), Leopardo (Leopard), Serpiente (Snake), and Dragón (Dragon). (Professor T comes from the Serpiente tribe). While each tribe has their own set of customs and beliefs, the majority of it overlaps; for instance, the reason they are nomads is because of a deep-seated belief that settling in one spot permanently will anchor their souls to the world, and prevent them from passing on to Heaven at death.<br><br>Other common customs invite the Rite of Ascension, where a child becomes an adult. In all tribes, this begins as training at the age of 10. At the age of 13, the child is sent out into the jungle, alone, at night. They must hunt, and kill, a Grimm, and bring back a trophy, before morning. Some kids do not survive; those who do, but don't make it back before first light, are exiled.&nbsp; It's a rather extreme form of Darwinism, but it's practiced out of a strong desire to keep the tribes small but strong. <br><br>Those that survive are branded with a tattoo made of a combination of ink, venom, crushed Dust powder, and a few other hallucinogenic compounds. This triggers a sort of drug-induced "spirit quest"; although rare, some times it will kill the child undergoing it. Others come back from it, but a bit... touched in the head. "Ravers" are kept in the tribe, and are allowed to live out their lives, but don't get to mate or do much of anything. This is, again, seen as a good thing; weeding out the weak. Weakness is an abject sin to the Yamu. "Better to die, than be weak." These savages are known for their resilience, and not much else.<br><br>Once a child has passed through the spirit quest, they are left with two tattoos. One is a tattoo of the Grimm they killed; the other, is a tribal band.&nbsp; After that, the child is considered an adult in the Yamu culture, and undergoes training in a practical skill (in T's case, it was being a Wise Woman/Medicine Man). After seven years of training, they receive another band tattoo, and then set out on a journey into the world. This is called World-walking. <br><br>The Yamu are fatalistic to a fault. <strong>Everything</strong> happens for a reason, and this grand reason is known as the Wheel (although other people might think of it as Fate or Karma). World-walking is meant to enlighten the Walker, and teach them about their place in the Wheel of Life.&nbsp; Once they have World-walked for a sufficient period of time (there is no exact period. "You know when you have completed the Walk"), they return to their tribe, to share their wisdom and knowledge with the next generation, to serve their tribe, and eventually help give birth to a&nbsp; new generation.<br><br>Each tribe also practices in its own forms of enlightenment. These are collectively referred to as Spokes On The Wheel. Just as a wheel traditionally has five spokes, there are five levels of each 'path'. Each time they complete a spoke, they get another band tattoo (for a grand total of 7 to indicate a fully enlightened person). <br><br>For the Serpiente, the first Spoke of the wheel is Mithradatism.&nbsp; It's the willing ingestion of small doses of poison, in order to raise the body's natural resistance to toxins; some times, to the point of total immunity. <br><br>The Second Spoke is known as The Slippery Mind.&nbsp; It's about "outside the box" thinking, about not getting trapped by emotions <em>or</em> logic, and to hone your mind. Only by freeing yourself from conventional thought, can you begin to even grasp the Turning of the Wheel.<br><br>The Third Spoke is Fangs and Rattlers. It's about learning about who you are, what you can and can't do. It's a journey towards self-actualization and understanding. The name is a reference to a Serpiente saying "The smart snake knows what to use his fangs for, and what to use his rattler for." <br><br>The Fourth Spoke is Transmutation. Turning venom into medicine; antidotes to poisons are commonly concocted from the same source as the poison itself.&nbsp; It's also, on the more cerebral side of things, about learning to turn bad situations into good, enemies into friends, and generally, changing the state of affairs in your sphere of influence for the "better". <br><br>The Fifth Spoke is Sharing The Fruit of Knowledge. At this point, there is only one real thing for someone to do: return to the tribe, and enrich and enlighten the next generation. At this point, Serpiente's become tribal leaders, recorders of history, teachers, etc. The fifth band is only tattooed onto the skin after death, and only if it is believed they have truly shared the "Fruit of Knowledge". <br><br>Professor T, for those curious, is on the Third Spoke, on the cusp of the Fourth. <br><br></div></div><br>Anybody have any questions, go ahead, throw them at me. I'm not even sure how much all of this would even be truly relevant to anything beyond the character, but it's fun for me to create things.

				I have two suggestions on how to not let the Yamu facts go to waste. One is having a villain from or related to one of the other tribes. The other, for T to implement some stages similar to the Spokes in her teaching method. Perhaps for those who wish to improve themselves.

				Since no one was able to reply on the Wild Marmet team since last week (!) I suggest either Mori Koji (TheLegionary) or Welkin Graham (Changingsaint) give it a shot.

				New bit of lore for you guys!<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Eis and its Militias</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ever since Eis stopped being a penal colony, there's been a need to replace the old guards that maintained a semblance of law and order. Eis accomplished this with militias. The militias take the place of police, with several being "full time" members of the militias, and with other people, with other jobs, serving part time, or as needed.<br><br>Eis does not maintain a standing army, as it has always been viewed as not a necessity. If ever another nation invaded, the militias could pretty easily be organized into a rudimentary military; that's the logic behind that. <br><br>Nowadays, almost all healthy adults are part time militia members.&nbsp; They're usually only so-so in a fight, wielding whatever traditional weapons and makeshift armor they can cobble together, although militia leaders tend to have genuine armor. <br><br>Each of the militias for each town had its own name, and a symbol to mark the members. <br><br>In <strong>the capital</strong>, the militia is known as <strong>The Irregulars</strong>. A significant number of them use tridents, and other maritime weaponry, as a great deal of them are also fishermen and women. Their emblem is a white eye on dark red background. <br><br><strong>Schwarz's</strong> militia are known as the <strong>Yeti's</strong>, and they mainly use axes; being lumberjacks, they are quite familiar with the weapon as a tool. They are fairly robust, and of all the militias, the second most well-trained. Their symbol is two crossed axes; white on a blue background.<br><br>The militia in <strong>Feur</strong> are known as the <strong>Mountain Men</strong>. They've adopted the picks used in mining as improvised weapons of great destructive potential. As far as militias go, they are single-handedly the best armed, armored, and trained. Mind you, they're still ordinary people, many without an Aura or Semblance to bolster their strength.&nbsp; The 'general' of the Mountain Men is a man named Conrad, who is a former Hunter. Their emblem is a hand holding Dust; bright red on a black background.<br><br><strong>Pridefall's</strong> former militia were known as the <strong>Spirits</strong>. Their banner was a black lion's head on a white background. The Spirits were almost entirely killed off when pridefall was destroyed; remnants merged with the Irregulars, Yeti's, and Mountain Men.<br><br><strong>Blut's</strong> former militia was known as <strong>The Blooded</strong>. Their was no commonly used weapon amongst this small militia. The former emblem for them was two crossed swords; yellow on a blue background. None of The Blooded survived the destruction of Blut.<br><br><strong>The Laughing Skulls</strong> was the name of the militia from <strong>Dirge</strong>, and as one might expect, skulls featured quite prominently as their emblem; a yellow-white skull on black background. The militia was known to predominantly favor the use of two weapons: staves, and maces. Since most of the people from Dirge managed to survive and flee their settlement, the remaining members of The Laughing Skulls were gradually absorbed into the Eis Irregulars.<br><br><strong>Timberfall,</strong> like all the others, had its own militia; and like Blut and Pridefall, they were massacred, by Grimm or the unforgiving weather of Eis. They were originally known as the <strong>Timberfall Hounds</strong>, and like the Yeti's, favored axes. The emblem they used was a pitbull's head, burnt orange in color, on a red background.&nbsp; <br></div></div>

During the warmer months, there is some thawing and melting on some days; the temperature, during the day time, can reach high's in the 40's (F), rarely peaking at 50 degrees (that's pretty much a heat wave).&nbsp; For Winter and Fall time, though, temperatures are consistently below freezing. In the dead of winter, at night, temperatures can get as cold as -20's, and seldom drop down into the -30's. Those nights, it's better to just stay huddled up inside, near the fire. <br><br>Day time in Winter typically fluctuates between 0-10 degrees. Day time in Summer and Spring is usually 20-40, but mostly hovers around 30 (So yes, spring weather it's still usually freezing). <br><br>People in Eis are well-adapted to the cold climate, but only to a certain extent. Negative temperatures will still kill the unprepared. <br><br>On a somewhat related note, the school is usually kept heated in the high 40's. In the kitchen, boiler room, and other select places where you'd expect it to be hot, it can be in the 50's. <br></div></div>

				Since my character does kind of have cooking as a hobby, what sort of animals/etc are eaten on the isle? What counts as 'staples' of the people's diet? If that isn't too specific - just kinda curious.

It is ground into paste, boiled, smoked, kippered, as sushi... there are dozens of ways of preparing fish, from small anchovies, to larger sea bream, even the occasional shark or octopus finds its way into the kitchen. Caviar, which is an export, is also fairly commonly used in cooking, or enjoyed as a snack. Expensive in other regions, caviar is easily cultivated by the fisher-people of Eis.<br><br>In addition to fish, other sources of meat on the island comes in the form of venison, from the plentiful reindeer, and snowshoe hare's. (As an aside, hare fur and reindeer leather hides are used in clothes manufacturing). Salted reindeer fat, called Salo, is often part of trail rations, as it lasts long, and provides a calorie-dense, lightweight food item.&nbsp; It is, however, an acquired taste.<br><br>In terms of non-meat, Eis does not grow much locally. Seeds extracted from the pine cones of the ever-abundant evergreens, are blanched and ground into a sort of flour. Flatbread is baked from this, some times with sugar and spices added to make it a sweet treat. This flour is also used in making pancakes, as well as just about any other baked good. Sap can be gathered from the evergreens as well, and boiled into syrup. Although not as sweet as maple, it's still something heavily enjoyed.&nbsp; Even the needle-like leaves of the evergreens are gathered and boiled into a tea that, while not being particularly tasty, still contains a chunk of daily required minerals and vitamins. <br><br>A single fruit, and a single vegetable are home to Eis. Arctic potatoes have thick, pure-white skins, and actually can grow in the snow itself; a feat not accomplished by any other root vegetable in the world. These potatoes form a staple crop, as they are filling, and quite flavorful. Other vegetables are imported from other countries, chief amongst them being red cabbage, carrots, parsnip, celery, and onion. <br><br>Red berries grow on Eis, along a strange form of creeping ivy that tends to cling to trees. These berries start off as a blood red in color, but when ready to eat, are bright red. The berries are a super-food, packed with vitamins A, C, D, and E, and are also the sweetest thing one can find on Eis. They are usually eaten on their own, or made into jam or fruit preserves, and smeared onto bread. Other fruits are also imported to Eis, this being mostly citrus fruits, as well as apples. <br><br>Cooking in Eis is generally straightforward, simple, and favors sea salt, as it is the only naturally produced seasoning they can make. Imported spices and herbs tend to be quite expensive, and when available, are never fresh; the dried and powdered variety lasts much better in the frigid cold. Garlic is pretty popular, so it is by far the cheapest. <br><br>Related to food, is the subject of beer. When mankind first started to hunker down and figure out what does what, one of the very first things they came up with was fermentation. The people of Eis like drinking just as much as the rest of the world, although their selection of alcohol is fairly limited. Vodka, made from arctic potatoes, is popular; and a local brewing company makes a sappy, nutty tasting beer from pine needles and seeds. <br><br>In the past five years, a winery has actually opened in the capital; the first of its kind. They currently sell expensive imported wines, but also brew "Red River" wine, from the red berries that are native to Eis. <br></div></div>I think that about covers it. If anybody else has any requests, let me know.

				Double-post! The third team has been named. Team Ghast (GGHA), led by my character, Erik Grimsby. They don't have a funny name like the others, but Ghast is mostly being used as a nod to Dirge (and the fact that three survivors from Dirge are in this team).

The weapons are all really interesting.

				And everybody, give a welcome to Vill, who will likely be a teacher! <br><br>I did play FF7 as a kid, and loved every minute of it. But no, those are not meant as references to the game. Avalanche Academy is named after traditional avalanches; it's meant to represent the power that the Academy, and the students training there, have. That basically, they are like a force of nature (or should strive to be such).&nbsp; Dirge was just something that I picked out of the dictionary, for its grim overtones. <br><br>As for Penny. She's not scary at all! She's combat ready.&nbsp; 8-)

				Thanks! (Love your avatar by the way, "My Tallest!")<br><br>I have a question about the teachers: do you see them being like the ones from Soul Eater (So many parallels between the shows), or are they strictly there for academic purposes? The old man with the musket-axe kind of suggests the former.<br><br>Edit: forgot to mention Ms. Goodwitch and the Dean (I'm terrible with remembering names.) Are all the professors Huntsmen/tress?

My week was awful, glad it’s done and now I can really focus on what’s important – the game&nbsp; :3<br>I certainly like the idea. Willum’s fox eared father could have been part of the same team as her in the armed forces. Rivalry is also one element I’m going to give a thumbs up.<br><br>I will take this chance to discuss my character’s relationships with the others. <br><br>For Professor <strong>Enya Horowitz</strong> goes as follows:<br>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Knows<strong> Willum Wildfang </strong>’s Systema teaching “father” <strong>Sascha Romanov</strong> with whom she always remembered competing with during her years in the armed forces. It remains to be seen how will that reflect on her general behavior towards Willum. We assume he won’t have an easy life during her class.<br>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Greatly admires <strong>Headmaster Erik Vainamoinen</strong> not only for his skills, but also for his personality and inner moral compass.&nbsp; Enya strives to enforce the military discipline she thinks he lacks when dealing with their students at the Academy and overall complete their education this way.<br>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Knows <strong>Albert One Stone</strong>. Their past relationship is complicated and mostly unknown within the Academy. There had been rumors of course which deemed down once Albert left for research.&nbsp; Most described their relationship as “more than collegial” and a rather love-hate kind of thing, but they had never been a couple. <br>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sister to <strong>Armina Horowitz</strong>, Combat Teacher. <br><br>For <strong>Luna Mauve</strong> goes as follows:<br>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since the opening ceremony when the teachers had been introduced, Luna liked Professor <strong>Titrit Tajeddigt</strong>’s quirky way. She’ll probably turn into her favorite teacher due to her Healing abilities. <br>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I plan on having her develop a crush on <strong> Caden Walker</strong> but that will not imply anything on Thrasius’ behalf. It will probably be the kind of ‘secret crush’ thing. <br><br>Also, I have a third character, the combat teacher Hanged mentioned earlier. Thus, for <strong> Armina Horowitz</strong> goes as follows:<br>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thrives to take after her sister <strong>Enya Horowitz</strong> in everything (without bearing a grudge).<br>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is definitely annoyed by Professor&nbsp; <strong>Titrit Tajeddigt</strong> and deems her “ too crazy for this Academy” even if they haven’t actually…talked so much.<br>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Will probably find <strong>Charlie Faylinn</strong>’s cutesy attitude and general appearance as “useless and foolish.”<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>To follow in the spirit of this, (also, because I really want to write something) I'll list my character's opinions for the beginning of the game (after the entrance exam):<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Students</span></strong></span></div><br><strong>Tamika Ming</strong> - "C'mon, girl.&nbsp; Reppresent!&nbsp; You're from Dirge, but all you're using are those throwing knives?&nbsp; I mean... sure... you had a sword made of ice!&nbsp; That was admittedly way cool.&nbsp; But what are you going to do when all your knives are gone and your sword shatters?&nbsp; Fighting is what Huntresses do.&nbsp; Granted, Professor Horowitz is badass, but c'mon!?"<br><br><strong>Tahira Atemu</strong> - "Pistol-daggers!!!&nbsp; And they're shaped like scorpions.&nbsp; That is so cool!&nbsp; She fights pretty well, too.&nbsp; I don't know if she was maybe picked on too much growing up or it's a Faunus thing, but I don't think I saw her say anything to anyone, or even look them in the eye for that matter.&nbsp; It can't be a lack of confidence, the girl tore it up.&nbsp; Maybe she's just really shy?&nbsp; I wonder if she'll let me hold her pistol-daggers?"<br><br><strong>Charlie Faylinn</strong> - "I don't care if she has this strange bunny fetish, the girl can fight!&nbsp; Even if her Bunny Cannons are far too cute, they're awesome.&nbsp; I would use them... maybe change the bunny head for a skull, but yeah...&nbsp; She's small, but she's a scrapper.&nbsp; I think that might be good in combat.&nbsp; She did well against Professor Armina, and the Beowulf didn't stand a chance.&nbsp; I dunno... I like her bow."<br><br><strong>Welkin Graham</strong> - "Shotgunblade!!&nbsp; Woohoo!&nbsp; He seems to know how to use it too.&nbsp; So shiny!&nbsp; I'd love to get my hands on it.&nbsp; The collapsing mechanism is intriguing.&nbsp; It folds nearly in half when switched into the shotgun form.&nbsp; I wonder how heavy it is?&nbsp; I wonder what the recoil is like?&nbsp; I wonder if there is a way to decrease reload time and increase range without decreasing bullet velocity too much?&nbsp; I wonder if he'd let me take it apart?&nbsp; Oh?&nbsp; Yeah, I guess he's kind of hot, too."<br><br><strong>Caden Walker</strong> - "An EBW!!!&nbsp; It's the first time I've ever seen one in action.&nbsp; I don't know, maybe I'm biased, but I think if it was Dust based it would be more effective.&nbsp; Sure, you can shock a Beowulf, and likely an Ursa, but it won't touch a Deathstalker.&nbsp; Considering all the different types of Dust, it seems like the EBW is rather limited.&nbsp; Then there's the armor.&nbsp; I don't recognize it.&nbsp; Does it do anything?&nbsp; Is it a generator for the EBW?&nbsp; Are there rocket launchers hidden in the gauntlets?&nbsp; I don't know, and I didn't see anything that would clue me in when I watched him fight.&nbsp; I don't really get the reasoning behind armor... unless he hasn't learned to use his Aura.&nbsp; I guess that's a possibility.&nbsp; Armor just slows you down, doesn't it?&nbsp; Maybe I'll ask him.&nbsp; Right after I ask him what's up with that eye patch."<br><br><strong>Luna Mauve</strong> - "Okay, I admit, the SEH (Sonic Emitting Harp) is pretty darn cool.&nbsp; I mean, she's attacking with sound waves!&nbsp; That said, I'm kind of glad she's not on my team.&nbsp; She doesn't use the SEH to its full potential.&nbsp; She's slow and not aggressive.&nbsp; I'm sure healing is important and stuff, but if you kill something before it can hurt anyone then you don't have to worry about healing them.&nbsp; That's my philosophy, at least.&nbsp; Then you've got the entire tactical side where the team is basically fighting with only three people.&nbsp; The worst thing?&nbsp; I think I almost saw tears in her eyes when people killed their Beowulfs."<br><br><strong>Willum Wildfang</strong> - "Another pair of shotgun gauntlets!&nbsp; These I can get behind... I'd probably put a nice touch of orange or purple on them, but I do have a weak spot for gun metal gray.&nbsp; They complement his fighting style, and he's actually a very smart fighter.&nbsp; He tore his Beowulfs apart, but used a completely different tactic when he faced Professor Armina.&nbsp; While it was smart, I think if he'd pressed things he may've had a better showing.&nbsp; Maybe.&nbsp; Regardless, I saw three different styles, and possibly a fourth.&nbsp; He knows how to fight.&nbsp; Maybe he'd be willing to show me a few moves, up close and personal?"<br><br><strong>Mori Koji</strong> - "Best bang for your buck, the hammer-launcher!&nbsp; I'm pretty sure I had to wipe the drool from my chin when I saw this baby.&nbsp; It's unfortunate that it is going to waste in Mori Koji's hands.&nbsp; The guy is too hesitant.&nbsp; He took more hits than he delivered... which is saying something, but still.&nbsp; He has the strength to wield that beauty, he just needs to do it.&nbsp; It just makes me wonder why he's here.&nbsp; Another one I'm rather glad isn't on my team."<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Teachers</span></strong></span></div><br><strong>Professor Armina</strong> "Can I have her autograph!!&nbsp; She was like "heeyah" and "keeyah".&nbsp; Made most of us students look rather silly.&nbsp; I can't wait to fight her again!&nbsp; Did you see when she just axe kicked that kid?&nbsp; She was like "chyah" and he was like "blah".&nbsp; It was awesome.&nbsp; I wish I had been able to record her fights because she put on a complete clinic.&nbsp; I'm going to learn so much!&nbsp; The Escrima Staff was okay, but I bet she was using that simply to prevent hurting some of those kids.&nbsp; Some of them had no business going up against her.&nbsp; I wonder if I can take extra combat classes with her?"<br><br><strong>Professor Enya</strong> "Who was she again?&nbsp; Oh the Aura teacher?&nbsp; Oh!&nbsp; The one who gave us the verbal practical?&nbsp; Yeah, I did alright on that.&nbsp; It's the written stuff I always freak out on.&nbsp; Anyway, she seemed okay.&nbsp; I like the whole military discipline.&nbsp; It reminds me of my old school, Spiral Academy.&nbsp; Of course, if you're wanting someone to give out hugs and pats on the back, then you aren't from Eis.&nbsp; We're trying to become Huntsmen and Huntresses, leave the soft stuff for the police."<br><br><strong>Professor Vainamoinen</strong> - "The old man?&nbsp; Yeah, he seems really nice.&nbsp; No, I wouldn't want to fight him.&nbsp; You don't get that old without knowing how to give an ass kicking, especially in Eis.&nbsp; I heard when he was younger, that he once killed a King Taijitu with a single blow.&nbsp; Cross my heart and swear to die.&nbsp; Have you seen his staff?&nbsp; That's not your typical collapsible staff.&nbsp; Every inch of it is etched with runes and reinforced with steel bands.&nbsp; I can tell you this, he's probably lost a step but he's also probably one of the strongest teachers at Avalanche".<br><br><strong>Professor Tajeddigt</strong> - "Professor Tajet... Tadeg... Ta-digit?&nbsp; Oh, hell.&nbsp; Professor T.&nbsp; Umm, she creeps me out.&nbsp; Her weapon is a simple chopper... it doesn't even have a sheath that can act like a second blade... you know?&nbsp; So she can duel-wield.&nbsp; &nbsp;<span style="font-size: 7pt;" class="bbc_size">Some people.</span>&nbsp; Her clothes... I know the Academy is comfortably cool, but isn't she cold?&nbsp; Doesn't she come from a warmer climate?&nbsp; I heard she cut her hand off and reattached it somehow.&nbsp; And how the hell does someone look like they are moving forward when they are going backward.&nbsp; Is that her Semblance?&nbsp; Further, what's up with the little doll she carries around?&nbsp; You already know my thoughts on healing, but I'm afraid she might show up in our dorm room if I miss her class... I'll wake up with her hovering over me, or worse!&nbsp; Truth be told, I didn't understand the reason for any of that stretching and I really didn't feel comfortable with her poking and prodding me without my baby, Ascalon, in my hands.&nbsp; Couldn't they have waited until after we'd dealt with her before they took our weapons?&nbsp; Though, it's likely a good thing.&nbsp; I may've mistook her for a Grim.&nbsp; She sure wears enough of their parts."<br><br><br><span style="font-size: 6pt;" class="bbc_size">Sorry, Gwen probably doesn't know the local Huntsmen, yet</span>&nbsp; <span style="font-size: 4pt;" class="bbc_size">Oh, except for that Vasili character... he better sleep with one eye open.&nbsp; j/k</span>

Throwing knives aren't very effective on their own so she imbues them with aura. That increases the power and damage output, but she must be precise and efficient with every strike to be effective. Her Semblance has high potential and will be a great asset once she fully masters it. Clearly not the most powerful of people, but very useful in a fight. Calm and collected. She is pretty."<br><br><strong>Tahira Atemu</strong> - "I like her fashion style. Being a Faunus seems to have effected her personality; she's shy, timid, like she doesn't think she belongs. I might talk to her and see if I can help...maybe. In combat she is completely different; honed, focused, and skilled with her weapons. Her Semblance is excellent for infiltration, ambush, and sneak attacks. Enhanced Faunus senses are a plus in and out of combat. Shy and timid. She is pretty."<br><br><strong>Charlie Faylinn</strong> - "She is...unique, to say the least in terms of personality. She'll take some getting used to. Bunny Cannons are very dangerous in a fight, and with her size and speed she can easily take an opponent off guard. She seems obsessed with <em>cute</em> and <em>girly</em>, but doesn't act that way herself...strange. Loud and in your face. She is pretty."<br><br><strong>Welkin Graham</strong> - "Welkin Graham; leader of Wild Marmet. I met him after moving to Schwarz. He possesses the leadership capabilities needed I suppose. Time will tell if possessing them and utilizing them come to be one in the same. Hope is a powerful, if clumsy weapon due to it's size. However Welkin's skill and the Dust Capabilities of the weapon more than make up for it's shortcomings. He flirts with all the girls. <em>All</em> the girls."<br><br><strong>Caden Walker</strong> - "I've never met someone else with white hair. He might be a friend. His armor certainly looks impressive, but I'm still not sure what it's purpose is in a battle aside from slight protection. His weapon is interesting, but powering it with his aura means he must end a fight quickly; prolonged engagement will end badly for him. He seems to be two different people. Kind and mannerable normally, but very focused in a fight. Putting himself in danger to help his friends is admirable, if ill advised. He has two eyes...why does he have an eyepatch?"<br><br><strong>Luna Mauve</strong> - "Luna Mauve...I've heard a bit about her family. Her weapon could be used to great effect if she was more aggressive. She uses it fairly well in conjunction with her fighting style though. 'Support' is just as important as Offense and Defense. Balance is key to continued victory. I've never seen someone with a healing semblance before. I've never even heard of such a thing outside of books and particularly strong aura's. She seems to be a wallflower, but she's nice enough. She is pretty. "<br><br><strong>Willum Wildfang</strong> - "Looks can be deceiving. You'd never take him for a Huntsman at first glance. He possesses a great deal of talent and skill, and with knowledge of several styles is very versatile. He also seems to have a level of tactical combat intelligence. He didn't try and press an attack on Professor Armina because it was obvious it would only open him up to more injury. He seems confident in himself and <em>happy</em> most of the time. He seems twitchy; maybe because of his semblance?"<br><br><strong>Mori Koji</strong> - "At this point, Mori is wasted potential. The affinity for combat and the power is there, he just seems to refuse to use it most of the time. This <em>will</em> be problematic for him if he doesn't change...especially when it comes to Professor Armina. His style is obviously self taught and rough, raw, but not ineffective. The Magnhild serves him well, as does that blade of his. But he needs to focus on one or master both.&nbsp; He clearly slouches, and his personality shows he was treated poorly in some fashion. Someone needs to cheer him up. Do people <em>always</em> use his full name?"<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Teachers</span></strong></span></div><br><strong>Professor Armina</strong> "She is very powerful and confident in her abilities. She likes to push her students past what they seem to be able to handle. I appreciate that as you never surpass your limits until you are pushed beyond them. She also seems to bully people, but the world isn't always nice. I don't necessarily care for it, but if I'm right, I understand why she is the way she is. I've never been pushed so hard in a fight aside from training with my father, uncle, and grandfather...they never held back either. I can't wait to spar with her again. She is pretty...and <em>scary</em>."<br><br><strong>Professor Enya</strong> "Professor Enya is much kinder than her sister. She has a bit of playfulness in contrast to Armina's no nonsense attitude. I wonder if her Aura Control classes will be as exciting as Combat Class? She certainly has the skills to make it exciting, even though she doesn't seem to like to fight as much as her sister. She is pretty." <br><br><strong>Professor Vainamoinen</strong> - "With age comes wisdom. With wisdom comes experience. With experience strength. Vainamoinen has been headmaster for three decades for a good reason, and it's not just his warm personality. His power is unquestionable, but that limp of his can't be good in a fight. However I think it wouldn't hinder him enough to be noticeable. I wonder if he has any stories like grandpa used to?".<br><br><strong>Professor Tajeddigt</strong> - "Tajeddigt. That's a very unique name. I wonder where she's from? I'll have to ask her one of these days. She's easily the strangest person I've ever met, but that's not a bad thing. She moves strangely, but that's an advantage in combat when your opponent can't predict your next attack. Her weapon looks more suited for cutting down a forest than cutting through Grimm, but I don't doubt she puts it to good use. She is...an enigma."<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Hunters</span></strong></span></div><br><strong>Vasili Ilari</strong> - "Vasili is a Hunter alongside my father. They've been on a few missions together, but Vasili is a merc first. Nothing wrong with that, but it's notable. We aren't best friends, but he's nice enough...except when he's not. His Gun Kata is interesting, and not many people use that style. Ammo must be expensive...I wonder if that's why he needs to get paid so much? How does he keep getting into the kitchen?"<br><br><strong>Henrik Pridefall</strong> - "Henrik...he's seen the same loss as me, as my father, mother; my brother and sister. He understands us, and we understand him. He still puts up his facade, even around us, but we know the truth; he feels the same way we do and the survivor's guilt haunts him. I know him mainly from hanging around the Schwarz Outpost. He and my father seem to be pretty good friends.&nbsp; He's like me in a way."

				I am at work now and in the other page, I am working on Mori Koji's next post. <br><br>By the way, I don't know why everyone is calling him by the name and surname. LOL Apart from the bloody Armina Horowitz, he is called Mori Koji - in Japanese, it means an orphan of the forest, which shows he is a woodling, possibly subject to prejudice in his childhood. One more reason to explain he is such a loser.<br>

				I had been considering proposing to the GMs the idea of creating a separate thread for each of the team's dorm rooms. And, possibly one that represents a faculty lounge. Not that I don't mind reading everyone's posts: in fact, I will continue to do so. However, it might help to keep things neat and easy to reference. We certainly have the numbers to warrant this, as per the site's rules.

				That is something to consider, Vill.&nbsp; I intend to have missions in their own threads, which would eventually see no more activity in them once the mission is complete; so I do also need to account for the fact that there will be about a dozen of those (and I think things would be more confusing if there was just one or two general quest threads). <br><br>Edit: Everyone, feel free to post your thoughts on the matter.

				Ah, that's a cool concept for the mission threads. I hadn't considered that. I'm down for anything really: you GM's are the bosses.

				Thank you Vill and sorry everyone for not making it clear from the first time. That is correct, there is a combat class/lab within the academy's building close to the rest of the classrooms- more like Armina's office and where the written exams are held on basic Grimm knowledge and a second building- the training ground, gym etc where they can also use their weapons without fear of destroying the academy's common rooms etc. I will be more descriptive next time :)

				More Lore.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> The Legend Of The Ice Maiden</div><div class="spoiler_body">Eis was chosen for the fact that it was resource rich, and fairly unwelcoming.&nbsp; A lot of violent offenders, and big time criminal gangs, would be incarcerated on the island, with no real way off (several revolts over the years were quelled by the well-equipped, well-trained, and well-paid guards). They were more or elss sentenced to hard labor 'til death. <br><br>During the first few months, when the plan to deport violent criminals to a penal colony was firmly agreed upon by the four great nations, there were all sorts of trouble in setting up work camps for the prisoners, and more sturdy and warmer buildings for the guards. Grimm attacked, the weather seemed to conspire to slow or halt building.&nbsp; It turned into something of a boondoggle, initially, but too much was already invested into the idea to give up on it.<br><br>It was during these turbulent first few months that an odd thing happened. Guards and prisoners alike reported the presence of a strange woman, her skin as pale white as the snow, and her dress far too lacking to keep her safe from the environs.&nbsp; Yet, even stranger than her apparent acclamation to the cold, was the flute she played. When Grimm attacked one day, she showed up, and played her flute; and the monsters, as if entranced, stopped their attack at once, and returned to the wilderness. The woman, too, would quickly disappear amongst the snow.<br><br>Now, the interesting thing about this legend, is how it ends. Because depending on who you hear it from, the endings are different; some view this as handy evidence that the story is merely legend, and has no basis in reality. <br><br>In one ending, she is said to have come to the camp that would later become Feur, and made outrageous demands of money and supplies for her continued protection. When the guards in charge would not pay, it is said she threatened to bring down an entire host of Beowolves. Supposedly, one of the soldiers struck her down for this threat, killing her outright. <br><br>Another version of the tale says that one day, she simply never appeared again; that perhaps the Grimm had finally killed her for daring to interfere with them, or that the fickle weather finally tired of her seeming immunity to cold, and buried her alive in the snow.<br><br>Others still say she eventually died a natural death, and was laid to rest in an ice cave; this story occurring many years before burial towers were even conceived of, never mind built. <br><br>Some say, though, that to this day, she continues to stalk the snowy lands, punishing bad children, or being responsible for deaths in the wild.&nbsp; <br><br>In the end, the truth of these stories is easily disputed. With no evidence of her existence, it would seem that this is merely some form of 'bogeyman' to scare kids into behaving themselves. As such, it is a story most of the people of Eis are familiar with.<br></div></div><br>Edit: So, I'll admit to being a bit scatter-brained. I have never really GM'd before, so I am floundering around a bit with it. I am thankful that everyone, so far, has been patient and accepting of that. <br><br>Jugg just PM'd me about school uniforms; something that entirely slipped my mind. I never made any school uniform; never even thought about it. But, now that it's been brought up IC as well as OOC, I'm making a decision about it.<br><br>The school uniform includes: Long-sleeved shirts for both genders, black with white accents. The shirts have the Avalanche Academy logo on the front left breast, which is a fairly generic looking mountain with the school's motto written underneath that ("Sharp sword, sharp spirit"). Pants for men, knee-length skirts for women, both are black with white accents. White thermal stockings for women. No stated footwear. Uniforms are not mandatory. In general, as long as you are modestly dressed in school, there won't be an issue.<br><br>Students are also allowed to carry their weapons to class with them, as long as no accidental or intentional injuries result from their presence.

				It would make sense if they have airships ─ snowmobiles being a thing, I mean ─ but, I see what you are saying about just assuming the school has them.

				Snowmobiles are a luxury. In a lot of ways, if Vale was a first world country, it'd be comparable to say that Eis is second world.&nbsp; The Academy <strong>does</strong> have them, but only a dozen (coincidence? Nope). They're only for emergency missions, though, like if a team is in critical condition, and a rescue needs to be immediately mounted. <br><br>Actually, the major form of long distance land transport on Eis are domesticated wolves pulling sleds, which are abundant enough that students can (and some times will need to) use them. One of the upcoming missions will actually necessitate their use. <br><br>Airships are definitely a thing; the Port of the capital actually has docking platforms for airships, and a full service repair station.

				it's August in-game. It hasn't been said before, but it is now! And yes, Vill, that would be a rightful assumption.&nbsp; RWBY hasn't established what their calendar year is like, so I'm going with the real world calendar.

				Personally i'd say that having them drop out makes the most sense. Sure, they 'could' be killed but really that's just kind of mean spirited I feel.<br><br>As for how new recruits come about, well... Perhaps the academy only selects so many students a year? With there being a 'reserve' list. IE: You were close to making the cut or did make the cut, its just that due to school size issues you were rejected. As students leave, or become unable to continue reserve students are called in to replace the lost.

				Cool, sounds good to me Jane.&nbsp; I'm also fine with just running around with only Willum and Luna.&nbsp; In fact, they could be a sort of floating team, meant to reinforce another team in a mission that wouldn't warrant two full teams.&nbsp; As is, the two could make a very good support team together, because Luna can heal and Willum can adapt himself to any combat role needed.

				I've talked with both Thrasius and Snorkle. Thrasius has IRL problems, and has left the game with my blessing. I am thinking about having his character NPC'd and wounded in battle, just in case things clear up for him and he wants to join back in (if not, it's easy to say the brush with death and extended wounded period is enough to shake his character up and make them drop out). <br><br>I haven't quite yet decided on what to do with Snorkles. The idea of Luna and Willum being a half-team meant to back up others is a brilliant suggestion, and one I am definitely going to make use of. <br><br>I have also decided on the manner in which the threads will be organized. Two separate mission threads (because at most, there will be two active missions at the same time, and don't want any chance for confusion). The main thread we currently have will be for hallways, cafeteria, kitchen, Headmaster's Office and school environs. There will be a separate thread for all the dorms (including teacher dorms), and a separate thread for all the classes. If people show interest in it, this leaves us with a few extra threads we can use for making locations like the City of Eis, etc. <br><br>Does this sound good to everyone? Any thoughts, suggestions, or opinions are welcomed and encouraged.

				Hi everyone,<br>It is a pity that we have some defections. I am worried how we will carryn on things in the Wild Marmet team, since the classic RWBY formation consists of 4 team members. Should we recruit someone else?<br>Let me voice my opinion about the thread organization. <br>I recognize that all the arguments brought up are good. However, for the time being, I don't see the need of creating more threads of expanding the game. Honestly, I would get lost - I am a beginner in group games and I have a lot of difficulty in paying attention to everyone' stories and plots when they are in the same thread. If we spread them into different threads, this would get worse.<br>Second, I believe that there is not a lot of people. We are still a small, manageable group. <br>Lastly, I think about the psychological factor. If I come online and I don´t see any post, I feel frustrated and people tend to lose the interest. It may happen sometimes. This is why it is good to come and read lots of posts, even if they are unrelated with your plot. When there are no posts for some days in your thread, you start to think about new stories and you even forget what you were posting or thinking.<br>That is it. Feel free to do whatever you want and I will try to follow you.<br>TL

				Hey everyone,<br><br>Sorry, I meant to have some things done today, but life threw a wrench at me, and it hit me square in the head. Been running around like a headless chicken most of today, dealing with IRL problems. I've got a few minutes now, but not nearly enough time to really do what I should. Just wanted to let everyone know this should be a rare occurrence; everything should settle down tomorrow evening, and even if it doesn't, I've set aside some time where I can do GMly things. <br><br>Thank you all for your patience, and I'm sorry about this slight delay.

				Also, if anyone has anything to complain about, suggest an idea or simply feel the need to talk, that's what us friendly GMs are here for. I am sorry that there might be some of you who felt that their characters have been 'mishandled' - please please don't be shy about it and just say so either on OOC or through PM to me and Hanged. I truly believe there isn't a single player who doesn't want for the game to flow nicely - some don't even realize that they're doing something wrong. We all have something to learn and I for example would be glad if any of my RP partners would tell me if and what I do wrong. <br>If anyone is concerned about starting a conflict, don't use the OOC but PM. If for various reasons you can't do that, PM the GM.Usually every GM opts for diplomacy instead of "you're kicked from the game just because I say so".<br>No one wants to lose players just like no one wants to be forced out of a game they enjoy.<br>This goes for you too, TL. If you're leaving because you don't enjoy the game anymore or due to lack of time, I understand. But if it is because of what you believe others <em>might</em> have a problem with you or the way you play, then please reconsider. You will come to see that usually that is not the case at all.<br><br>Now that I had my fill of rants (pretty sure everyone did too) I have an announcement to make: Saric's character will be joining team Clay Dewclaw - teaming up with Luna and Willum. After his intro post, Karn will be joining the others at lunch.<br><br>As Where's said, using just a bit of control over another character to keep the flow is not something bad. When in doubt, ask first, OMs are free. <br><br>I hope everyone still enjoys the game.

				Hi everyone,<br>I apologise for making a non-concise comment. I was laying in my bed, when I read these comments and I felt uneasy. I thought I should not reply it, but I would not be able to sleep if I did not.<br>Assuming there was an issue in my posts - I dispute this statement as you will read below -, I would like to tell you a few words about honesty and openess.<br>Let me tell you something about being honest and people's feelings. I like to think I have a lot of experience with people's honesty and sincerity. I am trained to interpret and read between the lines. I know how much honesty and openess can ruin things that should work perfectly well like this game. I don't know about your background or age - honestly, your statements in the public thread were either fruit of lack of experience, or fruit of an ill-intention. In the first case, I am inclined to forgive you. In the second case, I am not. As Vill pointed out, in the text we cannot find it out easily, even though one can try to guess about the real intentions, so I will try not to judge anyone.<br>No society could be built based on too much sincerity. This kind of honesty tends to ruin society. It comes as no surprise that lies exist - you can just look at a person and tell her or him about his or her overweight or ugly face. Moreover, there are several ways of being honest and open without harming someone else. This was not what you did. If you were being honest and open, you would have asked me directly in the public threads, not everyone else about something I did. What was made is like an open invitation to gossip about me. Then, I come online and I see 2 pages of comments about my post. <br>How do you think a beginner in a group game would feel?<br>Now, let me move to the arguments about god-moding.<br>First, I want to address my post in the Combat Class: I reread it several times and I must say it was perfectly acceptable. Mori Koji was the last one in the exercise and Vasili Ilari was in a scene, dragging everyone's attention to him. It is perfectly acceptable that no one was looking at him. No one paid attention to Mori Koji. On top of that, if you read the paragraph carefully, that was his line of thought. When he was over, he didn't see anyone looking at him. I asked Jane to pay attention to my posts, since I am new in group games - she never told me I was godmoding and her character was directly involved in that scene. <br>In relation to the Chemistry Class, the post I deleted, I have more objections. Apart from the technical detail Vill put it in a private message about the instruments in the chemistry lab, I think there would be nothing else to be changed. He said I could keep the post, even though he preferred to have the upper hand in Siney's classroom. Honestly, I don't see why this is the case, because there may be a limitation to our imagination and creativity. Anyway, as I was kindly asked, I was willing to comply with it.<br>Mori Koji's character sheet was approved by the GMs together with his Semblace. If you read it - I believe most of you didn't -, you will see he is able to summon the dust around and gather it into a recipient. My post was meant to show what his Semblance can do. If you think this is godmoding, sorry but you are mistaken. Don't you know that RWBY is a place where magic and technology live together? The limits to the magic and Semblance are unclear, so everyone is free to manipulate these elements as they please. <br>There is not clear explanation about how dust transforms from one thing into another. So, my post was perfectly acceptable in the sense that Mori Koji' Semblance was capable of gathering the dust in the form of smoke back into dust in the form of powder in the recipient. As all the smoke/dust was brought back to his recipient, everyone and everything else got clean again.<br>All the time, I was thinking about small amounts of dust, since dust is not widely available in the world. If you read my post, you will see that Mori Koji broke the burette - as far as I remember, no burette can have 30 lbs of dust inside it. Yes, someone told me in a PM that I mentioned 30lbs of dust, but I had not.<br>Regards,<br>TL

				Well, as I was at work I would like to throw my two cents as I didn't get a chance while all of this was going on.&nbsp; Jane was right in that if you have a problem with someone you should pm that person or the gm.&nbsp; <br><br>Also remember what you write to or about a person can really hurt their feelings and embarrass them.&nbsp; Why do you think TL is upset enough to think of quitting?&nbsp; His feelings are hurt and is upset about how things were handled.&nbsp; He feels like he being ganged up on.&nbsp; I would feel the same way.&nbsp; If I was embarrassed and humiliated like that I certainly would feel like quitting.&nbsp; And honestly how could he not feel unwanted?<br><br>And sadly on another note, if TL is truly leaving the game.&nbsp; I will be as well.&nbsp; Me and him had a few things planned out that connected our characters together quite tightly.&nbsp; I can't see playing Tamika out in any other way as my muse is putting down her foot at changing directions on the character.&nbsp; So I apologize.<br><br>And by the way Happy Birthday TheLegionary.

				@Wheresmycow: Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciated it. Why can't we think that the Dust Gathere Mori Koji is endowed with such a pervasive control over the dust that he can bring everything back into his pocket? To be honest, it surprises me more to know that Professor T can wear that outfit without leaving a trail of bones and spines than Mori Koji's capacity of cleaning up all the mess. LOL<br>@ Vill: I confess I did not find anything describing the Chemistry room. I may be wrong and I am humble to admit it. Please enlighten me.<br>In the PM you sent to me, you wrote:<br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=47440">Quote from: Vill on 26-02-2014, 23:09:54</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">As for the explosion, I really don't have a problem with that. I can tell you wanted to highlight his clumsiness, and that's fine. The only thing that doesn't work is that the burette that supposedly held Dr. West's experiment doesn't exist. He put all of that stuff away in his second post. And, if it did, it would be up at his personal work station, away from where Mori would be walking. What we could have done though was have him knock over one of the small set of vials he had prepared at each student work station. Same result, just without manipulating reality in an inconsistent way. <br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I looked at the second post. The only reference was the following:<br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=195116.msg9647322#msg9647322">Quote from: Vill on 26-02-2014, 09:10:35</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">“Yes,” he responded, as he pushed himself up from his seat. “The stations are all numbered from left to right ─ my left ─ and they ascend from the front of the class towards the back. Mr. Wildfang,” he looked back down at his scroll as he pulled up the randomly generated seating chart. <br>He hesitated, as if expecting more students to enter, but continued when they did not. “Mr. Wildfang and... well, that’s convenient, Ms. Albion: you two will be working at station one.” His left hand gestured towards the work station closest to the front of the class. “Ms. Mauve, you will be working with a Mr. Graham, when Team Marmet arrives, at station number two. Ms. Faylinn and Mr. Walker: you will be working together at station three.” <br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I suppose there were working stations for each student, which looked like this (http://www.vaniercollege.qc.ca/newsroom/files/2009/10/Vanier_College_new_Science_labs_FINAL.jpg).<br>This leads me back to my post. I was not clear where Mori Koji fell onto. It could have been in Sidney' station? Yes, it could. However, it could have been in any other working station in a chemistry laboratory. In a chemistry laboratoy, there are a lot of things spread around, including in the working stations. I believe Avalanche Academy would have resources to equip the working stations with stuff like a burette, right? As there was no detailed description of the chemistry laboratory, I suspect my post is consistent. What could be wrong in this line of thought? <br><br>@ everyone: some of the answers in my post were directed to issues/complaints raised in PMs. I am clarifying them just for the sake of completeness. I don't want anyone to think I am making it up imaginary allegations.

				The post you quoted was actually my third post. Here is my second one:<br><br>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=195116.msg9634563#msg9634563<br><br>It includes a description of the lab, what each station is equipped with and a scene where he packs up an experiment he had been working on.<br><br>As for collecting the dust that would have been expelled from the explosion that he caused, while there are technical inconsistencies (such as your description of it being a diluted mixture, thus not as explosive) I don't think the concept of you using your semblance to clean up the mess was at all an issue. What Wheresmycow pointed out is that the real issue is that you gave no one time for anyone else to react and post their character's actions. That would be like someone saying they picked the pocket of a character with hypersensitivity, then put the object back before they noticed. That's taking control out of the other player's hands so that they can't react to the situation. Even if you technically left the scene the way you found it, there still might be a legitimate reason for that character being pickpocketed to detect and stop it. This is a room full of physical combatants: one of the students would likely dive behind a table, if not Dr. West himself.<br><br>This is a good learning experience.&nbsp;

I would have liked to have a full team and for Wilum and Luna to act as support, but I think thebest option is still having him with Dewclaw.

				Dr. West is just waiting for Tamika, Eric and Raisho so he can finish assigning work stations and begin his first lesson. Hopefully it will be interesting and fun for everyone. It should also be a cool setting for little pockets of socialization between the students at each station.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120909185549/darksiders/images/9/94/War_Abyssal_Armor.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Karn Shademore<br><strong>Age: </strong> 20<br><strong>Gender &amp; Sexuality:</strong> Male - hetero<br><strong>Year:</strong> 1st<br><strong>Team:</strong> TBA<br><br>&nbsp;<strong>Appearance:</strong> Karn is a Faunus and doubly rare at that. He is both one of the comparatively rare reptilian Faunus, and an equally rare albino. As such his hair and skin are a pale white, while the 'whites' of his eyes are a blood red surrounding golden irises and slitted pupils. The other evidence of his heritage begins as a few pale scales between his shoulder blades which increase in size and density as you go down his spine, culminating in a white lizard's tale.<br><br><strong>Weapon:</strong> Karn's main weapon is his armor itself, passed down from the Faunus War this venerable suit has had few modifications aside from the addition and upgrading of a series of Dust powered jets in the heels, knees, back, elbows, and wrists. These are used primarily for maneuverability but can be used to add a little fire to a blow. The armor itself circulates the wearers Aura through itself and back into them in a manner which has since been lost. As such it greatly boosts the defense and power provided by a given amount of Aura at the cost of preventing deliberate build ups at key points for defense or attack. Note: This 'Aura Shell' is a technique which can be learned without the armor but Karn lacks practice doing it himself and is thus still dependent on the armor.<br><br>When greater reach is needed Karn wields Gungnir, a collapsible spear tipped with a blade painstakingly carved from the stinger of a Death Stalker and wrapped about the center of the handle with an elastic band that waves free when not being used to recover the weapon after a throw. Karn has been known to empower Gungnir with his semblance in dire circumstances, but as this is far more fatiguing then using it on himself, this rarely occurs.<br><br><strong>Fighting Style:</strong> Strong roots are key to the fighting technique taught by the warriors of Karn's home village but positioning and sudden strikes are also stressed. Therefore Karn will often anchor himself in one spot with a firm stance, blocking blows more often then dodging or deflecting them, only to suddenly launch himself to a new position or into an aggressive offensive combo. As his semblance lends itself well to this strategy Karn often proves a much tougher opponent then most take him for at first glance.<br><br><strong>Aura Color &amp; Intensity:</strong>&nbsp; Medium-Medium High Aura (Technical fighter). Aura is Black with streaks of crimson while in battle. On those (rare) occasions it can be seen while he in not fighting (or even more rarely, when he is engaged in a relaxed sparring match) it appears a deep Green, stained with blue and red streaks.<br><br><strong>Semblance:</strong> Impact - Whether Impact changes Karn's actual mass or simply his inertia is an unanswered question. What is known is that he can activate his semblance to remain unmoved by a charging Boarbatusk, or smash through a stone wall without slowing. Alternatively Karn can reduce his inertia to the point that he 'rides' a strike by even the keenest blade, allowing the blow to push him along with no more resistance then the wind rather then stopping and taking the hit. He is also attempting to use this ability to help him relocate swiftly but is still somewhat clumsy.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Sanctuary was a middling-small faunus village located in the eastern half of Vytal, high in the mountains where few people venture. It was founded after the Faunus Wars by individuals who didn't trust the human assurances of equality and thus elected to live apart with trade groups only occasionally coming down out of the mountains to meet with the regular caravans. The inhabitants, mainly descendants of veteran solders and living in Grimm infested mountains far from aid, maintained a largely marshal life style with all young adults undergoing rigorous combat training easily the equal of that offered by any combat school on Remnant. Those who proved skilled and inclined toward fighting were given advanced training, not unlike Hunter training, but in a manner closer to 'master' and 'apprentice' then 'teacher' and 'student'.<br><br>Karn was born and raised in Sanctuary, not overly concerned with the outside world, and just starting his advanced training when it happened. For unknown reasons there was a mass migration among the Grimm. The first warning was when the sun was blotted out by a flight of Nevermore and the mountain ridge above the town was stain black with hundreds of forms. Those warriors in armor attempted to stem the tide while the rest of the village evacuated, however they were almost immediately swallowed by the mass of enemies, with individuals continuing to fight for some time but doing almost nothing to stem the tide of monsters sweeping past. Karn had been tending his family's vegetable garden when the attack came and so had to take up escort duty, with only a hoe for a weapon, while his father charged into the hopeless fight. During the fight and attempted evacuation of the woman and children the town is sent on fire and Karn is stuck by a King Taijitu and sent flying into one of the buildings near the edge of town. Alive and awake but unable to move Karn is forced to watch in horror as the civilians are slaughtered before the sight is cut off by his father's mortally wounded form. His father took a few lurching steps before dieing, still on his feet, and slowly falling on top of Karn, pinning him. The last thing he saw that day was a burning rafter falling toward his head.<br><br>When Karn awoke almost two days later almost the entire village had burned down and all the villagers had been killed. He dug his way out, buried the dead in the ash filled basements of their own homes, or the remains of the town hall if he couldn't identify the body, and recovered and repaired his father's armor. He then made a simple shelter for himself down near the stream that had supplied water to the village, killed and prepared a deer and, duty and basic needs taken care of, promptly went mad for roughly two weeks (He thinks, he doesn't remember that period and is basing this guess off the phase of the moon before and after he went mad. It could have been longer then a single month.).<br><br>Upon recovering Karn set out to track down the Grimm that had murdered everyone he'd ever known, only to find that they'd settled in the nearest pass though the mountains. Realizing that he couldn't kill all the remaining Grimm alone, and that anyone attempting to enter the pass would be slaughtered, Karn took it upon himself to patrol the perimeter of the area, killing off stray Grimm and preventing anyone from entering the pass... by force if necessary. It was a little over two years before a team of Hunters was finally dispatched to clear the pass of the mysterious 'bandit' who didn't kill anyone but wouldn't let anyone use the small and less important trade route. Only after he as soundly beaten did Karn take them beyond his perimeter and lead them to the various lairs. After assisting the Hunters in battle (against their protests) a priest and a small band of workmen were sent back to his town with him to give the dead a proper burial. He then returned with them to the nearest Kingdom.<br><br>In court Karn was pardoned of the charges of banditry against him and (at the urging of the Hunters who had fought with him) offered a full scholarship at the Hunter school of his choosing. However, given the number of police, guards, and solders he had beaten while guarding his pass it was recommended that he choose a school in another Kingdom... and told that his pardon was contingent on him providing community service once he had finished his education. While reviewing possible schools to attend and learned of Eis and it's Mists. Seeing the parallels with his own experience Karn immediately booked passage, determined that Eis and it's remaining settlements not suffer the fate of his own home. His formal education is essentially non-existent but his survival and combat experience have gotten him in 'provisionally'... Karn just hopes the pointless 'remedial classes' won't interfere with him killing Grimm <em>too</em> badly.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Karn's experiences have left him closed off and dour, a state which has only been exasperated by his lack of human contact the last few years; however, once someone has shaken him out of his brooding and slipped within his armor Karn will prove to be a loyal and determined companion with an impish sense of humor.<br><br><strong>Quote:</strong> "None shall pass!"<br>

				Aribeth has drawn my attention to something which might be important for the game. Does my last post involving Karn's introduction depict his character as being very different in strength and skill than the other students, so much that the difference proves to be a problem for the game? It was my intention to draw attention to his different background (and of course his size) but not to make him seem much stronger than the rest, to place the character on a pedestal. <br><br>Now I need to know if you feel the same and openly discuss this with Saric, as Karn is his character after all. Personally, I think Karn is fine just the way he is and I'm usually picky when it comes to "overpowererd" characters. As GM and as player, I would like to know your opinion on this.

				I did make a point of establishing Karn's lack of knowledge regarding modern technology as well as his dependance on his weapons for his combat potential. For that matter he's a 'big hit' fighter so a faster, more agile combatant (namely everyone else at the school) can dance around him and wear him down as long as they don't slip up or get caught unawares. He has countered this by working on his endurance.<br><br>Over all I think he relatively balance with the rest of the students, as he adapts to the modern world they'll improve in combat, he's just slanted more firmly toward combat at this point then anyone else. This is, of course, my view of my own character so it's most likely biased, but I'd like to hear specific criticisms if there is something someone doesn't feel is fair.

				Well he is War from darksiders. Being overpowered kind of ties to that concept!<br><br>Reading the intro post and his character though, I guess my best way to give my thoughts on it is this: Can other students beat him in a (fair) fight? IE: Say Welkin and Karn get into irreconcilable differences and believe the best way to deal with it is to duke it out until one of them is on the floor and solidly out of it. Now, I believe Welkin can lose a fight to any student, can Karn? Not that I advocate this, or say this may be the best way of asking, but Karn as a character does seem pretty strong. I can't say for 100% certain he's overpowerd or a problem in the game since he's barely joined, and I do trust the judgement of our GM's to have it be the case where he's not regularly shining above or 'beating' the students in some form or fashion.

				I... actually just read it as character hype.&nbsp; I didn't interpret it as Karn being any more or less powerful than any other student.&nbsp; It certainly does seem Karn is pretty formidable, but I didn't think of it as him being better than any of the students unless specifically mentioned that they lack skills.<br><br>What I do expect though is that teachers flat out win.&nbsp; I mean, they're teachers.&nbsp; So long as it holds true that teachers decisively win, I'm fine.

				I just want to first say that I'm still stoked about having Saric in the game, and none of this is in anyway an attack on anyone. It's always good to throw a disclaimer out before I dive headlong into what is probably going to be an overly analytical train of thought.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=194612.msg9657810#msg9657810">Quote from: Wheresmycow on 01-03-2014, 01:30:55</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">What I do expect though is that teachers flat out win.&nbsp; I mean, they're teachers.&nbsp; So long as it holds true that teachers decisively win, I'm fine.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>I agree whole heartedly with this conclusion. I know that playing a teacher could ─ and should ─ lead to the speculation that I might be biased in my own opinion. Suspecting as much is just displaying good observational skills. However, RWBY is not my first encounter with an anime based on the premise of students attending a school to learn how to fight some form of evil. I think that from the student's perspective, having teachers that they could defeat, or even provide a meaningful challenge to, would defeat the point of enrolling in the first place. This should be especially true on the first few days of class. Combat should rely just as heavily, if not more so, on experience than physical capability. And for the sake of maintaining consistency: Eric was a militiaman, but failed to warrant a second glance from Armina. <br><br>I've spent the last week immersing myself in different anime series for the sake of my own independent research for another project. One basic commonality that seems to be present in nearly all the series I've observed is something that I've come to refer to as main character syndrome. While the chain of events usually evolves to provide or expose some exceptional circumstance that validates their superiority, that plot point is often the pinnacle of the story arc's progression. Since this game is based on an anime, it should come as no surprise that many of the genre's tropes are beginning to manifest within our own story.<br><br>However, as this story has no singular <em>main</em> character, I think it is important to keep things as realistically balanced as possible through initially focusing more on the short comings of the students, rather than their strengths. This holds especially true for anything that should influence their effectiveness in combat. And while this main character element is, and should continue to be, absent amongst the teachers, their own physical, intellectual or "magical" superiority should remain intact because it serves the larger purpose of providing environmental repercussions, rather than points of plot progression in the story's arc.<br><br>With that being said, I don't think Armina should have an equal in combat within the school. Unless the wise old headmaster could crush her through some crazy aura manipulation or whatever ─ as he should be able to. <br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=194612.msg9657728#msg9657728">Quote from: Jane Storm on 01-03-2014, 01:02:13</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">It was my intention to draw attention to his different background (and of course his size) but not to make him seem much stronger than the rest, to place the character on a pedestal. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>Another widely abused troupe within anime ─ I use the word abused to highlight the genre's negligence, not necessarily our own ─ is that size doesn't matter. Ruby, and I'll admit this does annoy me, should not be able to pull off the feats that she does given her observable mass. It seems conservative to speculate that she would need to possess more than 1 metric ton of muscle mass to pull a Nevermore up the face of that cliff. If you want to pursue a more realistic route concerning the laws of physics, then I more than approve. However, if we do then I would think that it would have a greater impact on the point that Saric made:<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=194612.msg9657755#msg9657755">Quote from: Saric on 01-03-2014, 01:11:49</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I did make a point of establishing Karn's lack of knowledge regarding modern technology as well as his dependance on his weapons for his combat potential.

I think it's good that Saric is thinking of ways to compensate for allocating as much power as he has into his defense and strength. However, I think this counter of enhancing his endurance should be something that is achieved over the course of the game, rather than being a starting attribute.<br><br><strong>TL:DR</strong> <br><br>I agree that teachers should uncircumstantially best a first year student in combat. I think Saric's character concept is interesting (hey, that semblance looks vaguely familiar ;) ) but care needs to be taken so that he doesn't blatantly outshine other students. I get the fact that Karn needs to have a reason to be put in combat class alone with Armina so that he isn't left out while everyone is in Chem class. But, I don't think we need to reference a superior amount of combat competency to do so.

				Hanged: Posting for Erik.<br><br>Also, I had an idea.&nbsp; What if the framing for the scene was changed so that instead of the narrative hyping Karn up, it was the Kingdom sponsoring him instead that was doing the hyping.&nbsp; You could see it right?&nbsp; There's this young man who's been fighting Grimm for awhile, they want him to be a hunter, and since Karn wants to go to Avalanche, the Kingdom's representatives try to sell Karn up, make it seem that he might be too good and so on.&nbsp; But there's resistance, some of it about Karn's past, some of it bristling at the idea that Karn's too good, but the Headmaster decides that he should be allowed to take the tests.&nbsp; There's more arguing back and forth about the combat portion, the representatives argue he should get an automatic buy-in there, and then Armina maybe goes "Oh, well if he's so good, he can pass an extra long duel test then."<br><br>And then things can progress more or less the way it has.&nbsp; I think it preserves the essence of the post.&nbsp; There's still calling out to his history and size, there's still some character hype which I'm personally in favour for because it feels good to have good things said about your character, testing Karn on teamwork is still a good reason to have an extra long duel, but it also means that nothing is definitively said about Karn's abilities.&nbsp; Commentary comes from people in the world that aren't related to the other characters, so it says nothing about the other characters.&nbsp; These people might just be as equally wowed by the other PCs.<br><br>EDIT: OH!&nbsp; And if it's already set-up that governments sometimes contact academies and try to put pressure on them, it might open up potential avenues to get involved with Professor T's homeland.

				Alright, so, I don't want anyone being alarmed at the moment, but I am going to be straightforward. I have had a lot of irl problems this week, and I am just physically and mentally exhausted. I need to take this weekend off. Even little things I wouldn't bat an eyelash at have been getting to me, and I can't do anything in this current state. This is the third time I've tried to write a post for Grimsby, and I can't even get a single sentence out. Not for lack of material to work with, either.

				Do feel better Hanged. Sometimes we all just have to kinda take a step back and relax.<br><br>I don't mind doing some fast forward - RWBY itself was half slice of life stuff, half action.

				Alright peeps, I've changed my last post concerning Karn. Just to make everything clear, he's not the top ~ special ~ uber ~ fantastic student of the year, just has special circumstances on getting admitted. And a fairly badass background. And he's big. <br><br>Wheresmycow, I actually used your brilliant idea about the hyping coming from his sponsors. I hope it conveys pretty much what you thought of and that it works as a good explanation for why he didn't attend chem lab. It was my intial intention to use something different then "he came in late and missed the team matching and the first two classes, but because influential people were sponsoring him, no one gave a damn" as an explanation for that. <br><br>Now I believe we're waiting on Hanged's Erik, Hotaru's Tamika, and Jugg's Raisho in order for Chemistry class to really start. <br><br>@Vill and Rebel: Vill's idea sounds good to me. Rebel, would you rather have Armina "pop" Vasili up as a second challenge in her duel with Karn? They could either fight one another or together against her/some other Beowolf, just to test Karn's ability to refrain himself. He could find his way back to the training grounds and get used by the combat teacher ;D<br><br><br>@everyone: After chemistry class does everyone want to skip forward and post accordingly to Aribeth's suggestion? I think it's a good idea as well and make sure you PM eachother if you want some character interaction to take place before the next morning, as Aribeth said.

It seems conservative to speculate that she would need to possess more than 1 metric ton of muscle mass to pull a Nevermore up the face of that cliff.

				Hrm, Grimm to me more seemed like monsters and creatures of destruction that wouldn't really have a place for a succubus - outside of something horrific like flaying a pretty womans skin off and wearing it like an edgar-suit. Which is probably not the sexiest thing one can do.<br><br>Mind you i'm fairly pro succubi, just not sure how well they would fit into RWBY where most Grimm have been how to say - 'Dire' animals? Though obviously not following the animal they're based on to the letter. I'm all for adding in such a thing, but im not so sure if it'd work as a Grimm from what we've seen of them.

				That's a good point that the concept would be notably different from the sort of Grimm we've seen thus far. But I'd be willing to wage that we're going to eventually see more humanoid Grimm in the future. This is obviously not only speculation, but speculation based on a hunch. It just seems like a reasonable assumption since it's a trend that so pervasively spans the entire genre. I would be surprised if it never came up. But, anything's possible.<br><br>With that being said: I know that the Grimm are supposed to be soulless, and if they don't say it out right in the show, it's certainly suggested that they can't match human intellect. However, I don't know if the ability to shift one's image would necessarily rely on intelligence. It could just be a hunting strategy that these creatures are able to change their physiology to look more attractive to humans to lower their guard the, <em>bam</em>: you've found yourself in the arms of a hideous man eating creature. Not exactly how a "real" succubus would operate ─ at least, not that I think, I'm stepping out of my expertise a little here ─ but it would still be interesting. We could always call it something else. In fact, I think it would be cooler to give it a different name. It would just so happen to be loosely influenced by the concept of a succubus.&nbsp;

				I do agree about humanoid Grimm, since they basically liberally borrow from the Hollows of Bleach - I'm anticipating humanoid Grimm in the 2nd season, even if only in the Finale.<br><br>I just personally wouldn't see a Grimm Succubus type as sexy at this moment I suppose. More of a bestial predator that's great at camouflaging itself around humands/faunus, just nothing you'd be overly attracted to once it revealed itself I imagine. But on the other hand the Gm's can certainly get creative and surprise people!

Furthermore Karn has been training in full armor for years and has been wearing this suit pretty much all the time for the last 3 years. He's used to the weight by now. No, it doesn't tire him out any more then your character's combat clothing tires them out. There is a reason weighted clothing features in the training of some martial arts.

But I'd be willing to wage that we're going to eventually see more humanoid Grimm in the future. This is obviously not only speculation, but speculation based on a hunch. It just seems like a reasonable assumption since it's a trend that so pervasively spans the entire genre. I would be surprised if it never came up. But, anything's possible.<br><br>With that being said: I know that the Grimm are supposed to be soulless, and if they don't say it out right in the show, it's certainly suggested that they can't match human intellect. However, I don't know if the ability to shift one's image would necessarily rely on intelligence. It could just be a hunting strategy that these creatures are able to change their physiology to look more attractive to humans to lower their guard the, <em>bam</em>: you've found yourself in the arms of a hideous man eating creature. Not exactly how a "real" succubus would operate ─ at least, not that I think, I'm stepping out of my expertise a little here ─ but it would still be interesting. We could always call it something else. In fact, I think it would be cooler to give it a different name. It would just so happen to be loosely influenced by the concept of a succubus.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>5. The Grimm seem to be largely based off of legends and fairy tail monsters or, in the case of the Nevermore, a poem. As such I personally see no problem with intelligent Grimm, even the Boarbatusk was smart enough to disarm Weiss.

				I think that in order to keep the interaction between characters linked together, the dorms thread should be for all teams. There are only three teams and we still get to use tags.

				Double post, I choose you.<br><br>Alright, I'm working on my post and as you guys have read in my previous ones: Dr. West has a semi-randomly generated seating chart. For the sake of saving time and maintaining plot momentum -- something I think everyone's on board with -- I'm going to assume that every student follows his instructions and goes to their assigned work station. Feel free to have your character grumble all they want under their breath in your next, he'll probably just ignore it anyway.<br><br><strong>If this is a problem with anyone please let me know as soon as possible.</strong><br><br>I figure it would be much more productive than just announcing the groups, then waiting for those who haven't been assigned stations to post a response saying that their character complies. <br><br>I think this post is going to be pretty lengthy, since so much has happened and so much more needs to happen. I just want to give you guys a cool scene to play with while avoiding any more hang ups.

				Alright, for now, legends will be released before missions. Said bits of Lore will almost always be tied to a mission in some way, including, yes, the legend of the Ice Maiden.&nbsp; I've got a few other bits of lore, too, which I will be posting today.<br><br>But first, I wanted to mention something about the Grimm. While I'll be using ones from the show, I will also be introducing my own Grimm. Primarily, these will be based off of mythological creatures. <br><br>Now, for the Lore.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Alpha Grimm</div><div class="spoiler_body">Grimm are long-lived creatures that never truly stop growing. They get bigger, meaner, more powerful, the exterior bones become thicker and more difficult to breach... it never stops. Grimm don't die from old age, they can only truly be killed by weapons. Some scientists debate that starvation may be a possible means of killing them, but Grimm eating habits are based on conjecture and anecdotes, rather than hard scientific fact. <br><br>When a Grimm gets to be nearly a hundred years old, they reach a state of extreme size and strength that they are known as an "Alpha", to set them apart from ordinary Grimm. Alpha's are highly dangerous, because not only have they grown strong and tough, but they have gained experience in fighting; though they are simple creatures with animal minds, their instincts do become sharpened through conflict. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Harpy (Grimm type)</div><div class="spoiler_body">Harpy's have a lot in common with Nevermore's, in that they are winged, feather-covered creatures that prefer to stay in the air. Hollow bones make harpie's weaker to blunt force trauma attacks, unlike the more robust, ground-dwellers. <br><br>Unlike Nevermore's, Harpy's do not use their feathers as weapons. They prefer to use their clawed feet and hands to rip and tear, and some have even been observed carrying humans off, only to drop them from extreme heights, to an untimely death. <br><br>Harpy feather's are valued for their softness and luster, and often made into hand fans, or other accessories. Harpy claws, on the other hand, are valued for their hardness (7 out of 10 on the Mohs hardness scale) and are some times converted into tools. Yamu tribesmen are some times said to use wooden clubs studded with Harpy claws as a rather brutal weapon. The claws are also valued by more superstitious Hunter's as a talisman that gives them protection in battle.<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Jobs of Eis: Forager</div><div class="spoiler_body">Forager's are men and women of robust constitution who trek through the wilderness, harvesting berries, pine cones, nettles, and other things. They typically sell or barter these foraged goods to bakers and the like. Some people are subsistence foragers, who only take enough for their own needs. <br><br>In addition to the typical cold gear one expects of those in the frigid weather of Eis, most Forager's choose to carry guns or other weapons, and are usually a cut above the militia (which they usually belong to), in terms of combat readiness; it is not uncommon for them to have to deal with lone Grimm. <br><br>The black, face concealing balaclava tends to be a trademark piece of cold weather gear that Forager's wear. They do it not to conceal their identity, but to simply help keep their faces warm.&nbsp; They are some times known to wear special goggles, as well, that are vented to prevent fogging up, and which are tinted to protect from snow blindness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photokeratitis). </div></div>

				Ladies and gents,<br><br>You should all know that until Hanged returns (and if) the story will go on just as he planned it (because yeah, he did plan it ahead with lots and lots of good things for everyone).

Therefore, Vill, would you help with the conclusions of the lesson soon?

				Karn's natural sent is slightly musty and reptilian due to his Faunus heritage. That said he does clean and oil his armor daily, when circumstances permit anyway, and the oil is scented based on the local flora. In other words he smells slightly of metal, stronger of reptile, and strongest of all is natural pine (he crushes actual pine needles into the oil for the sent, so there's no artificial chemicals).<br><br>Periodically he removes all the non-metal bits from his armor and heats it in a forge till it's a nice cherry, this cleans off any debris he may have missed, kills any germs, and tends to remove any scent other then hot metal. However the flammable bits of the armor can't be cleaned in this way and so the best he can do is a thorough cleaning.<br><br>Showers occur whenever possible and take 5-10 minutes for a thorough cleaning, 2 minutes or less if he's in a hurry. You learn to clean fast when the only water available is a half frozen stream, whatever you can boil, and you have to clean up in the outdoors, in the mountains, in winter.

				Hygiene for the win!&nbsp; Not surprised that Karn knows how to take care of his armour properly, though it isn't a quick or easy thing to make sure full plate armour is properly maintained.<br><br>I mentioned this because I did some LARP, where you had to actually wear armour for it to count as armour.&nbsp; So leather armour had to be a certain thickness and weight to the leather, chain rings could only be so wide, and plate had to be made with 16 gauge steel or heavier.&nbsp; Because of that... people could get a little funky if they went a while without showering or cleaning their armour properly.<br><br>Leather is especially bad for scents.&nbsp; Your sweat kind of... gets into the leather and you can't just wash with water and soap to get it clean or smelling fresh.&nbsp; You really got to massage the oil in.

				My mom did tailoring for the SCA and we went to the estrella wars in arizona, which is the 2nd largest SCA event in the US or so I recall. It's not quite Larping, but the war does involve hundreds of dudes and dudettes duking it out in metal armor and leather, and yeah. Those guys raise a stank if they don't take care of their stuff. SCA armor has to be 14 gauge or so, which is a bit thicker than 16 , so about the same levels of stinkiness.

				This is what I get for ignoring the OOC thread I suppose. <br><br>First off, Hanged. It was a pleasure to thread with you, even if it was for such a short amount of time. I hope whatever RL stuff is weighing you down gets solved and you can successfully power through it at some point. Maybe even make it back here one of these good ole' days. But until then, best of luck. I'd quote a lyric from "Major Tom", but it's hard to tell where that song stops being inspiring and starts being depressing. So yeah, best of luck bud. :)<br><br>Secondly to everyone else. I'm still here if you were wondering. Just got some wires crossed is all.<br><br>Thirdly, this is waaaay late(topic started back on page...18 or 21 or whatever page with the humanoid Grimms) On top of what's been said previously, I looked at the Grimm's as having potential like Darkspawn from Dragon Age due to the similarities. Darkspawn and Grimm are both soulless. For the most part, the basic members of both races are pretty much savage creatures with only the basest of instincts. However higher up the food chain lies the potential for true intelligence and things of that nature. Like Darkspawn generals can actually speak, formulate plans, etc... Also Succubi Grimm would be really cool.

				Everyone,<br><br>This weekend definitely we are starting the missions! If I can, I'll even make the first post on Friday for both mission A and mission B. Therefore, hurry up and decide which one your characters should take. Also, make sure to finish up the pre (or after) dinner interactions and post them on the threads.

				Double post, woot!<br><br>Mission thread is updated and we are ready to go.<br><br>Until now, for <strong>mission Feur (newfound Dust)</strong> we have the following members officially announced:<br><br>Ruby Geniva (Ghast)<br>Mori Koji (Wild Marmet)<br>Luna Mauve (Dewclaw)<br>Welkin Graham (Wild Marmet)<br><br>Until now, for <strong>mission Schwarz (Beacon and Hunter's Outpost)</strong> we have the following members officially announced:<br><br>Gwen Albion (Ghast)<br>Raisho Hajimoto (Ghast)<br>Karn Shademore (Dewclaw)<br><br><br>For those of you still undecided, a little hint:<br><br>those looking for a good fight and a way to show their character's skills and abilities should go for Schwarz. It will be a little more action based.<br><br>those looking for a moral sort of challenge and a little less fighting should choose Feur. <br><br><strong>NOTE!</strong><br>Please add Mission Feur or Mission Schwarz to your tag outline before posting. <br><br>

				I'd say turn based, but I don't want anyone waiting on others. It's mostly all for all, that's why I had at least one Grimm for each student. White foxes are easier to take down than beowulfs, but these are not normal Grimm, but mist crazed ones.

				Hello guys,<br><br>There's been an unfortunate change of plans in my life and I'll have to take a break from the forums..one of those big ones. It really bugs me that it happened just when we had a chance to continue our group game, but there's nothing I can really do about it. If you'll still be interested for another try sometime in the future (with more female characters!) that'd be great. I'll send some PMs anyway beforehand. <br><br>I'm really sorry for this and I just want you to know that I had a great time in this game with all of you and because of you. It was a combined effort, after all. <br><br>Good luck with everything on E and in life! Hope to meet again soon. <br><br>

				Jane, I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear this... and not just because it means the end of this game. I greatly enjoyed working with you and am extremely sorry to see you go. If/when you return, whether you revisit this game or not, please contact me.<br><br>It was an honor and a privilege to have met you, however briefly. Good luck and Godspeed.

				You know that momentarily I thought it was another April Fool's joke. Sadly, it was not.<br>I echo Saric. I was very into the game. Just like RebelJap808, whose comic posts made me laugh, I ask Jane: let us know when you are back, so we can continue the game.<br>Hugs,<br>TL
