RWBY: From Dust [Not started/accepting/cohosted by TFF]

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Yup. I am doing this. Some of you my recall that, at the beginning of the most recent summer, I expressed that I was going to make a RWBY RP. The reception was fairly high, and multiple people expressed interest in the idea. Of course, that plan was interrupted by me leaving the site, but now I am back - and have been back for a while - and I am going to make it a thing. Meanwhile I have actually worked out a plotline, so that is cool.

[spoiler=Plot]
So, the basic concept is that this RP will be the first generation of huntsmen and huntresses after the creation of the four kingdoms (Vale, Atlas, Mystral, and Vacuo). The Huntsmen academies have been founded, being staffed by recent war heroes, and the class of students being taught is one of the first - only a few teams had existed the previous year. This is before war broke out against faunus, though there is very tangible racism against them. Characters can be either students or teachers (or perhaps something else, feel free to ask any questions if you have ideas) but players cannot make a non-student character unless they have already created a student. They will do huntsmen things, and school stuff. Pacing will likely be similar to the first season of RWBY.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Rules]
1.) Advanced Clause:
a. All IC posts require at least 4 lines of text, or roughly 100 words at standard formatting.

b. Posting in script format is forbidden.

c. Copy-pasting or “expying” characters without tailoring them to the new roleplay is forbidden.

2.) I am the host, and I (theoretically) will have a cohost, so whatever they or I say is final.
3.) There is no limit to the number of characters any player may control, but try not to make it too ridiculous. The more characters you contorl, the more difficult it is to work with each of them.
4.) This RP will contain combat, so work to avoid god-modding.
5.) After each IC post is made, post in the OOC under the following form:
Character Used:
What Happened:
Who This Affects:
This was done on Clockwork Souls, and IMO it helped to give players an idea of what was going on.
[/spoiler]

EDIT:

 

[spoiler=Caliburn Artorigus - Team CMLT]

Name: Caliburn Artorigus

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Reference: Arthur Pendragon/King Arthur - Arthurian Legends

Team: Team CMLT (Camelot) - Team Leader

[spoiler=Appearance:]

Depicted above is Caliburn's normal attire (not the uniform the academy gives him, his mission attire), however the blue cape/cloth on his shoulder isn't available. His hair is a bit more of a darker brown than shown and his eyes are a bit more of a deeper blue. Around his waist rest Pendragon in its pistol form, along with extra ammunition clips.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Personality:]

Caliburn, like many aspiring Huntsmen, is quite skilled in the art of combat. Though because of who his parents were, he feels like he needs to set himself high on their level of battle skills, a bit of a family honor to him. Because of this, the chivalrous young man, can sometimes have that get in the way of how he thinks and acts. This meaning, in the heat of battle, rather than thinking on how the team can benefit each other in certain situations he often thinks on how his parents would act in the situation and run with that as a plan instead. This is a main downside for Caliburn and its a weakness he's trying his best to change for the better.

 

He is a natural born leader and cares much for his teammates and any allies that he comes across. He is always ready to enter the fray of battle to complete a mission and even lend a hand to those who need it.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=History:]

Caliburn Artorigus was born in the continent of Vytal in the kingdom known as Vale. His childhood was truly something else...

 

The young Artorigus was born by the pair known as Uthyr Artorigus and Ingraine...but the child never truly saw his birth parents. Instead he was sent to a family friend: Hector Kyner, where he was raised in the instructions of the ways of being a Huntsmen. Hector treated young Caliburn the same way he treated his other children, but he held him in a bit higher regards, for what reason...that was unsure. However, when Caliburn came of age, he finally asked his foster father what happened to his birth parents...the answer he got wasn't one he hoped for.

 

Uthyr, Ingraine, and two others in their team were sent on a mission the day he was left to Hector. They were charged to defeat a new Grimm beast that they nicknamed "Barking Beast", though further checking determined it was a Grimm known as Kirin. After hearing this, Caliburn's resolve was set into motion. The young Artorigus began his journey where most Huntsmen would: their weapon. He decided to follow within his parents footsteps choosing one weapon that would in sense hold them both: a sword that would allow him to keep Uthyr with him and a pair of pistols. With these, he prepared created the weapon he would use naming it "Pendragon" after his birth father's famous title.

 

With his newly constructed weapon in hand, Caliburn Artorigus now prepares himself to make himself known in the world of Remanent.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Weapon:]

Pendragon

A pair of pistols that can combine into the blade you see above. They both have the barrels flip in a different way to have Pendragon's blade form hilt appear, while the blade quickly extends from the two pistols once the hilt is formed.

 

In the twin pistol forms, they use regular ammunition, but they can easily be exchanged for Dust ammunition. In blade form, Pendragon can use the ammunition (either versions) if so desired, however it is not required. If this is chosen, the triggers can be pressed and the ammunition will be shot out through the blade, rather than the barrels of the pistol within the hilt.

[/spoiler]

Semblance: Deflection - This semblance allows Caliburn to deflect projectiles thrown at him, causing them to bend their paths to his will.

Other:

Caliburn's Theme | Battle Theme

• Caliburn Artorigus is both named after King Arthur as well as the weapon. Caliburn - Also known as Excalibur, the main weapon of King Arthur. Artorigus - Means "Bear-king", a different name that derived another name that Arthur was known by; Artorius.
• Caliburn's weapon, Pendragon, is a reference to Arthur and his father Uther's last name of the same name.
• Arthur's family (Uther, Ingraine) have him whisked away by Merlin to let Sir Ector (Hector) foster him, same as Caliburn.
• The Grimm that murdered Caliburn's parents is actually nicknamed after the creature in the Arthurian Legends as the "Questing/Barking Beast".
• The team name CMLT (pronounced Camelot) is actually a reference to those within the team being based off of Arthurian Legends, also known as a castle and court that has always been associated with King Arthur.

[/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Van Agandr - Team ENVY]

Name: Van Agandr

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Reference: Fenrir - Norse Mythology

Team: Team ENVY (Envy)

[spoiler=Appearance:]

Van is a Faunus, so while his appearance seems that of a human, it does share qualities of that of an animal. His hair is silver white, short length as well as a pair of white furred wolf ears residing on his head, right above his human ears. He is a bit pale, due to the fact that he really doesn't go outside too much. His eyes are colored in a hazel color, however in the heat of battle (or when someone pushes him a bit too far), Van's eyes change quickly to a golden feral, thus bringing out a literal animal in him. At his waist, people will be able to see a white furry tail. It is also fair to note that he does have sharp fangs, as he has somewhat of a snaggle tooth showing from his mouth.

 

Outfit wise, he wears a dark black tank-top underneath a faded gray denim vest. To go with this, he wears a matching pair of faded gray jeans with rips in both knees.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Personality:]

Because of how his childhood and past was within the prisoner of war camp, Van doesn't truly know how to react and act around people. As such, he keeps to himself for the most part, to the point of being quiet and distant from others. However, this doesn't mean he doesn't talk to some people. Currently the only people he truly will talk to right now are those within his team, as it seems they don't truly judge him like many people would.

 

He is as loyal as trained purebred dog (no pun intended), and just as skiddish around new people. However, when it comes to battle, Van seems and acts like a different Faunus. He acts like the inner animal he has is being released with each battle, though he keeps himself composed as best he can, especially when he's on a mission, lest he goes completely feral on a enemy.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=History:]

To better understand Van's story, you must know about the young Faunus' father, a famed Faunus weaponsmith: Vedrungr. He would make weapons used for good (harvesting crops, cutting down trees for building materials, etc.). However, during this time, Verdrungr was dragged into the war that had transpired. Before he knew it, he was captured and sent into a secret prisoner of war camp outside on a desert island outside of the attacking kingdom's territory. Within the camp, those held prisoner thought they would never see their families again and began to start anew here...Vedrungr was no exception...

 

He had flings with several of the women captured in the prisoner of war camp, but his eyes fell solely on one: a female wolf Faunus. After the deed was done, from this Faunus came forth the young child: Van Agandr.

 

Childhood for the young wolf Faunus was truly tough, as he had to continue to grow up within the camps, still treated as a prisoner, even though he never did anything wrong. Just being born put him into a "Guilty by Association" category...just like the other children. However, one thing that got Van by was watching his father tinker around with stuff. He wasn't sure why, but it just calmed him down and made him happy to see him do this...but these happier times weren't to last...

 

One day Vedrungr just finished construction on a pair of chainsaw-gauntlets that would help in a good way, however the authorities on the island thought different. By this time, these people thought they would be used for dangerous and deadly purposes and even escape, so right there they took Vedrungr to the camp commander...and was executed.

 

But what of young Van? Well, before he was taken away, Vedrungr handed his son the smoking hot gauntlets, the only thing left of the man who loved him. Wanting vengeance and seeing no other options, the young Faunus child put on the still hot gauntlets, which began to fuse to his flesh by the skin burning, and killed the guards who killed his father. The following day, forces arrived from another kingdom after hearing about this camp...but to their eyes they discovered a massacre and young Van covered in blood...his captors finally paid the price...

 

Van's status as a prisoner did not change, however. Because of his rage, he was accused for crimes against humanity, even though the prisoner of war camp wasn't even supposed to exist right then. Nevertheless, it wasn't until years later that Cinque Nada pulled some strings for Van to be on a probationary period, allowing him to attend an academy. However, it doesn't mean they won't keep tabs on him...

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Weapon:]

The Fetters

Van's weapons of choice, The Fetters chainsaw-gauntlets (named Leyding for left and Dromi for right). Though they aren't the only weapons the Faunus has. On his back is a big metal ball that is known as Gleipnir, which works with The Fetters in a peculiar way. The Fetters have couplings that stay connected when they extend out and attach to twin ports on Gleipnir, this causing the big ball to be connected by both Leyding and Dromi. Once connected, Van can have Gleipnir start to spin as he then can begin to swing the bladed ball around.

 

When not in use, The Fetters' chainsaw sections fold up against Van's forearms when not in use, and appear to be gauntlets, though, on closer inspection, the skin ends where the mechanisms for the gauntlets begins. For comfort purposes, the chainsaw parts can also be removed from their hydraulics so Van can sleep without tearing up his mattress every night.

 

Gleipnir rests in a heavy metal backpack and is bound in place by various straps, though without wearing it, the Faunus seems a bit more spry and nimble than usual. However, the backpack with Gleipnir is retrofitted with a detector, which will tell the authorities know if the chip implanted into Van's skin within a certain radius.

[/spoiler]

Semblance: Spectral Hands - This semblance allows Van to call ghostly hands to his aid, though he can only call one hand at a time. He must be able to visualize or see the area he wants the hand to exist, and after choosing one of his own hands, Spectral Hands mimics said hand.

Other:

Van's Theme | Battle Theme

• Van Agandr's name is actually a separated version of one of Fenrir's many titles: Vánagandr - Old Norse for "the Monster of the river Van".
• Van's semblance, Spectral Hands, is most likely a nod to the fact of what and who Fenrir's father is: Loki, Norse God of Trickery.
• Van's father, Vedrungr, is actually named after Fenrir's father: Loki as it happens to be another name for the Norse God. This would also explain how Van's semblance came about, getting his Faunus features from his mother and his semblance from his father.
• Van's chosen weapon, The Fetters are actually based on the three fetters that bound the mighty beast Fenrir: Leyding (the first Fetter), Dromi (the second Fetter), and finally Gleipnir (the third Fetter). However, instead of another chain to be Gleipnir, it was switched to a metal ball.

[spoiler= Lance De lac- Team CMLT ]


Name: Lance De lac
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Reference: Sir Lancelot - Arthurian Legends
Team: Team CMLT
[spoiler=Appearance:]


The above picture accurately describes Lance's overall appearance. His sword is almost alway found holstered on his back, and his belt is lined with the cartridges for it's gun mode.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Personality:]

Cheeky, arrogant, and boorishly stubborn, it is no surprise to anyone when they’re told that Lance is the wild card of team CMLT. During battle he makes a habit of ripping through his opponents in the flashiest way possible, and will often times find himself in the very center of the fray because of it.

Rarely ever calling anyone by their actually name he has the tendency to bestowing every new person he meets with a nickname that is based of their physical appearance or initially displayed personality traits. Oddly, even though he is prone to crack jokes about nearly every situation he finds himself in, Lance brandishes a pretty nasty temper and will more often then not be the one to throw the first punch. Whilst in school he makes an attempt to be an exemplary student, but unfortunately for him he lacks the attention span and the actually academic prowess to do so. Because of this he is usually found dozing off somewhere near front of the classroom, and has gotten rather good at copying his teammate’s work.

Fortunately though, Lance isn’t without any redeeming qualities. Stubbornness aside he is endlessly loyal to his comrades, and is a great friend. Those who are close to him will come to find that he is a great person to confide in and will always give his honest impute about their situation, but not after making them swear not to tell anybody of course. Though he hates it admit it, he would do anything for friends even if would cost him his life. This goes double for his teammates. By now the other members of CMLT know that he is extremely dependable and that while he may not do it how you asked him to, he’ll sure as hell get the job done.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Weapon:]


Guinevere: A massive sword that can be shift into a Mini-gun for situations where close quarters combat isn’t an option. Whilst not in battle the sword's blade can fold inward in order to make it easier travel with. Guinevere is incapable of using standard ammunition and must be loaded with specialized dust cartridges whilst in gun mode. These cartridges are much denser and contain higher concentrations of dust then most specialized ammo, making them inconvenient to carry in large amounts as well as highly volatile. Lance himself will usually only carry 1 of each element type at any given time and has been known to even use them as grenades on occasions where he is feeling extra…“rowdy”. Each cartridge is capable of sustaining about a minute of continued fire, with each bullet creating a micro explosion of it's corresponding element.  
[/spoiler]

Semblance: Lance's Semblance allows him to use his aura to manipulate both attractive and repulsive forces. His primary uses of this control are to draw other matter to his location, violently push away enemies, and also create small centers of gravity from his aura in order to disrupt his target's formation. The power and intensity of these techniques fall directly in proportion to the amount of aura he channels into them, and each use of his Semblance will put Lance's body into a "rest" period for a set amount of time. The general minimum for this period is roughly 7 seconds after a fairly powerful attack and will go up as the body attempts to compensate for the strain that the more powerful techniques put on it. During this time it is extremely difficult for Lance to preform any acts of gravity manipulation and if he does manage to successfully force out a technique, his body will suffer massive trauma.

[spoiler= Sasuke Kumo- Team KTSN]

 

 

Name:  Sasuke Kumo

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Reference: Sasuke sarutobi

Team: Team KTSN

[spoiler=Appearance:]

 

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Personality:]

 As the only male in the group, Sasuke is the glue that holds team KTSN together; each one of the girls  look to him for guidance and consider his input to be invaluable for mission success–Or at least that’s how he likes to imagine it. In reality Sasuke’s role on the team is closer to that of damage control. When Kathrine throws one of her tantrums, he is the one that’s been assigned the task of keeping her from causing too much destruction, and if the situation call for it, put her down. Additionally, he’s also been specifically ordered to make sure Normoto Shigeharu doesn’t do anything that would besmirch the name of the academy… Unfortunately though, Sasuke harbors a massive crush on Noriko, and generally lets her do as she pleases.

 

Generally unenthusiastic about everything, Sasuke is the type of guy that tends to separate himself from his peers. Not because he is anit-social or lacks the capacity to be friendly, but because he finds that there is alot less work for him to do when he's alone. That being said, he tries his best to avoid anything that requires a large amount of effort, and even when he does take on such tasks, he'll be sure to complain through the all thing. Though he may hold the same aspirations as most boy's his age; meeting girls, getting good grades, and being popular, his blatant lack of motivation seems to be a constant obstacle. Fortunately, when Sasuke does manage to get the drive to do something, however, he does so extremely well. The boy's deductive and observational skills are outstanding to say the least, and his fighting style is fluid and lethally efficient. Though he claims that they're all "Pains in his ass" Sasuke actually enjoys spending time with his team, and considers them to all be extremely close friends. Because of this fact, he also feels extremely guilty about the reason that he has been placed on team KTSN, and has yet to reveal his true orders to the other members. [/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Weapons]      

 

Yamato: A blade that was never meant to hunt Grimm. Contrary to all other weapons wielded by the students of the academy, this sword was specifically designed to spill the blood of humans and Faunus. Because of this fact Yamato lacks the transformation capabilities that most other weapons have, instead choosing to trade them for an experimental aura assimilation system. When it's blade comes into contact with a being that posses aura, the sword will begin drain the target of that energy and transfer it to its wielder through the hilt. This process is slow, and continued contact with the blade is the only way to effectively drain large amounts of the targets aura. However, aura that is being released from the body is much easier for the blade to devour; meaning that hunters will Semblances that create constructs, fields or cloaks using their aura are the best targets for this blade. It should also be noted that any being that is unfortunate enough to be impaled by Yamato will have the flow of their aura come to a complete halt, and will be unable to use their Semblance until the sword's blade is removed from their body.

 

Kunai/Shuriken x???: Sasuke carries a seemingly endless amount of these throwing weapons on his person at any given time. He appears to pull them out of nowhere, and it is a mystery where he keeps them all.

 

Smoke bombs x3: He carries these in a small pouch behind his back. 

 

[/spoiler]

 

 

Semblance: Absolute Aura Control: As the name would imply Sasuke's Semblance grants him complete control of his own aura. That means that he is able free manipulate its texture,flow,density, and even sharpness at will. Through many years of training he has a developed a number of uses for this ability which include: spreading a thin layer of his aura throughout an area to in order to to expand his sensory capabilities, channeling his aura to different parts of his body to increase his strength and speed, increasing the killing potential of his weapons by coating them in his sharpened aura, healing minor wounds and solidifing his aura in order to make a plethora of simplistic solid constructs. While effective for a multitude of tasks, Sasuke is only able to use aura for one thing at a time and must retain a substantial amount of focus or the technique will fail.

Some WIPs

 

[spoiler=Gerard]

Name: Gerard (insert last name here)
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Reference: Simon the Digger, as well as steampunk as a genre
Team: GINX

[Spoiler=Appearance]

[/spoiler]
Personality: Gerard holds within him plenty of hope for humanity in a world against him, but that is far from apparent at first glance. His typical demeanor is one of sarcasm, poking fun as most everything around him so as to keep moods light. Often pretending to slack off, he has developed a habit of making it appear that he does not care about the outcome of events, simply because it makes it easier when said outcome is unfavorable. Even when he is bitter about situations, he puts on a snarky grin and pretends that everything is fine. The way he sees it, humanity can survive if it wills it hard enough, and their greatest weakness is fear. This is a belief he took on when his schooling at Beacon began, as it allows him to use his semblance to its greatest ability.

While working with his team, he works to make sure that everyone is aware of their place on the battlefield, as such an amount of order is required while leading three teenage girls. Ironically, as much as he hates when the rest of team GINX steps out of line, he defies the instructions of the school often, believing in the ability of his own team over the others, and during multi-team scenarios he insists that his takes the front line, every time. In every battle, he seeks for his team to exceed their own limits, to perform greater than they have each time previously. "Good enough" isn't good enough. Of course, once again, these aspirations contradict his typical sarcastic laziness, creating two different identities: one on the battlefield, and one off.
[spoiler=Weapon:]

The Core Gauntlet

This weapon, consisting of a large, right-handed gauntlet as well as back-mounted dust canister, is designed specifically to be used with Gerard's semblance. It releases dust from the canister through a small opening on the palm, allowing it to be manipulated by Gerard. It can regulate the different forms of dust released, as well as ratios of mixtures between them. This means that he can form whatever sort of weapon he desires, from swords to shields, though he avoids projectile-based weapons, as any dust that becomes separated from the main group is lost from his control.[/spoiler]
Semblance: Gerard's semblance allows him to physically manipulate dust, creating shapes and objects out of it. He can only manipulate dust that is within indirect (dust to dust) contact with his skin, but as long as tat limitation is met, he can form it to whatever he pleases. He is able to manipulate extremely large amount of dust, but due to its status as a valuable commodity, typically only uses relatively small masses.

[spoiler=Tengi]

Name: Tengi Aquilla

Gender: Female
Age: 17
Reference: So, technically, this is a reference to the mythological tengu, but she is definitely a reference to my Clockwork Souls Character
Team: KTSN

[spoiler=Appearance]

[/spoiler]

Personality: Tengi is an extremely cheery and sweet individual. So sweet, in fact, that she can give diabetes in only a few words. This creates an interesting contrast against the rest of her team, which can sometimes bog herself down a bit. Even so, she works hard to make sure that everyone around her stays happy. She has extremely harsh self-esteem issues, afraid that her team may think she is just a ditz, and so she pushes her own limits on the battlefield, speeding ahead of the rest through the use of Aquilla. She considers herself to be the lowest rank on her team, and so she listens to whatever plans the others set forth ahead of her.
Weapon: As seen in her appearance image, Tengi is equipped with Aquilla, a three-state weapon. In its first state, it is a small brass pack, that serves no function. However, when activated through use of her aura, the pack can fold out into a pair of wings, as shown in the image. Each of the metallic "feathers" is razor-sharp, and she can harm enemies by flying into them at high speeds. Aquilla's third form is much more agressive, as it unstraps from Tengi's back and transforms into a large circular chainsaw, with the feathers each acting as small blades. This form is much more unwieldy, but the sheer power behind it is incredible, and it is shown to be able to break through the armor of Deathstaklers and similar large grimm.
Semblance: Hawkeye: Tengi's semblance greatly increases her 5 senses while active, allowing her to hear a fly buzzing across a field, or read a book from all the way down a long hallway. This ability is very useful to her while in flight, as otherwise she would not be able to keep up with her quickly changing surroundings and would quickly crash.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

[spoiler=Katherine Sunada, Aggro Valkyrie B*tch & Huntress in Training]Name: Katherine Sunada
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Reference: Kitsune

Team: KTSN - Team Leader
Appearance: From the tip of her scalp to the bottom of her feet, Katherine stands at around 5' 7". Her fox-shaped ears extend another 3 inches, and her tail protrudes another 2 feet from her tail bone. Both of these are white in color, whereas her hair is silver. Katherine's hair only reaches down to her shoulders, and although the fringe is matted down, it's often left wild and unkempt around the sides and back. The most peculiar thing about Katherine's appearance is that her right eye's pupil varies in size; in reverse proportion to her current level of anger. That is, it'll stay the same size as the left eye's pupil if she's not angry at all, but shrink more and more the more frustrated she gets. Once in a while it can become barely visible at all, and that's when you know Katherine's truly enraged.

Personality: Katherine is considerably more animalistic and brutish than any other Faunus when it comes to solving her problems, and out of the entirety of Team KTSN, Katherine's the most prone to inflicting collateral damage, which is funny because she's been designated as the leader. However, while she's willing to admit that her mission work is a little... sloppy, Katherine refuses to change anything about it because that's been her style of fighting for years. Suggesting that she do so is just one of Katherine's ticks, of which she has so many of that it's difficult to keep her inner rage in check. Another tick she has is when she overhears a conversation that has anything to do with Faunus, and senses any spite or malice behind it. A third is when a human makes bodily contact with a Faunus in a hostile manner, and while her rushing to the defense of the Faunus in question is noble enough, what she often ends up doing to the human is... not so much. Among the biggest of Katherine's ticks, though, is if someone had the audacity to insult her straight to her face, or to call her a monster. Ironically, Katherine can act wildly and unpredictably for someone who doesn't want to be seen as monster. She can even verge on being feral when angered, in which case calming her down can be a tall order for her own teammates.

 

However, there's one thing that allows Katherine to maintain her sanity and one thing only; and that's her notion that she'd always wanted to do the right thing. That maybe why Katherine's training to be a Huntress, considering that it'd allow her to learn what the right thing to do is for herself, but there's another reason as well. All her life, Katherine's been glowering about how much involvement she thinks the humans got to have in this 'miserable world', and how it seems to be wrapped around their fingers, and she still does from time to time. But now that she's come of age, she'd decided that she was going to do something about it, and try her damnedest to actually make something of herself. If that means she has to swallow her pride, she'll try to. If it means she had to lead a team of humans, she'll bark all the orders that she deems necessary. And if it means fighting for her life, she'll expend all the stamina and Dust at her disposal. All Katherine asks is that her staying at the academy isn't in vain.
Weapon: From the surface it looks like Katherine is just wielding two golden katanas, but as cool as that sounds just on its own, there's a lot more to them. Connected to the bottom of these katanas are two hoses that have been lined with a malleable silver alloy that not only prevents enemies from being able to cut them but also allowing them to conduct the heat that may pass through them a lot better, whilst maintaining the flexibility that one would expect from a hose. This way, even if Katherine loses grip on a katana, all she has to do is quickly twist on side of her body around, and the corresponding hose will bring the katana back around again for her to grab. Both these hoses are also connected to a large silver canister that houses a vast array of Dust crystals inside, and has a vent on top that slides open so more Dust crystals can be poured inside. Most of these are bright orange in color, but there are also copious amounts of blue, white and charcoal grey Dust crystals as well. When things start to get serious, or even if she could use a little range, Katherine can open up and hollow out the katanas with the flick of her wrists, and when she does, a trigger will slide out of each katana, at the point where the handle usually ends and the blade usually starts. Pushing these triggers back into the katanas causes them to revert back to normal, whereas squeezing them towards her allows Katherine to infuse the Dust crystals that're housed inside the canister, at which point flames spew out of the katanas in the fashion as they would when gorged out of a real-life flamethrower. Only the orange Dust crystals are expended most of the time, but Katherine can also infuse some of the blue and white Dust crystals in order to emit a corresponding colored flame, or even some of the grey Dust crystals if she's in the mood for spreading out some smoke on top of the flames.
Semblance: RIP-OFF OF NARUTO'S NINE-TAILS CLOAK, INCOMING!! D:

Katherine's Semblance is very powerful, but it's difficult to control, and it's also too dangerous to unleash whilst in the presence of others. Here, Katherine is enveloped in a burning red aura that not only incinerates flesh on contact, but also amplifies her physical strength and the speed at which she can sprint and make katana swings. This aura doesn't stop glowing until Katherine manages to vent out all the rage that she's harbored, consciously or subconsciously. The level of Katherine's aura is represented by the number of tails that appear on her, which increase in quantity the more rage she builds. It starts damaging Katherine's body at Level 2 (two tails) and from there, the higher the level of the aura, the more damage she takes from it, but the further amplified her strength and speed are. However, Katherine begins to lose control of herself to a Level 6 aura (six tails), and has difficulty keeping track of friends and foes. At Level 8 (eight tails), the aura takes its toll on Katherine's consciousness, and she practically becomes nothing more than a zombie... and appears as such too. None has ever seen Katherine's aura at Level 9 (nine tails), but it's rumored that Katherine can die if the aura ever dissipates from that state, and something worse could happen if she were to live after entering it.
Theme Song: Monster, by Skillet

Ideal Voice Actress: Lenore Zann (En)/Yuko Miyamura (Jp)[/spoiler][spoiler=Isabella Fortescue, the Gunzerker Who Serves an Unknown Goddess]Name: Isabella Fortescue

Gender: Female
Age: 19
Reference: Corpse Princess

Team: GINX
Appearance: Isabella stands at [acronym='this excludes the odd headdress she wears, which adds 4 inches']a solid 6 feet tall[/acronym], which puts her at roughly the same height as Team GINX's leader, Gerard. Isabella's shapely body has a  BWH ratio of 36-25-26, which she puts to good use for making other girls jealous of her, and to top this off, her flowing chocolate brown hair rests snugly half-way down her thighs if not caught by a breeze, and her onyx black eyes shine beautifully when accompanied by a smile, although they always seem half-open at best. Interestingly, most of Isabella's clothing is around the perimeter of her body. She does wear a pair of short shorts, thigh-high boots and long gloves that reach up to her elbows, and she does wear some form of cloth around her breasts, but she still has plenty of midriff and her back is completely exposed for the most part. Speaking of her back, a deep slash-like scar can be seen running part way through Isabella's shoulder blades, and another can be seen running part way down her spine, both of which make the shape of a crucifix. The blood seems to have all but clotted and dried up, which would then indicate that the wound responsible for this scar was inflicted upon Isabella a long time time ago.

Personality: Whenever Isabella speaks, among the first things one will likely notice, aside from her dreamy yet sleepy-sounding voice, is that she tends to have this "holier than thou" attitude to her. Of course, she doesn't mean to rub it into people's faces, but that tone she takes when saying things like "the light shall protect me" or "you have sinned greatly" makes it pretty obvious. She even insists that her Semblance was a gift from "The Goddess". She doesn't give much indication of who this "Goddess" is though, just that it's worshiped in her home town. Another thing she doesn't like to answer is how she got the scar on her back. When asked however, she'll reluctantly state that she asked a priest to do this to her, as part of a ritual that she chose to partake in. Again, she doesn't like to give details. However, one thing about Isabella is that, although she can be a little rash in her original judgement, she's one of those people that believes that everyone deserves a second chance. As such, she'll wait until a specific person shows evidence of having turned over a new leaf before judging them any differently than before. However, she does have her limitations in what she can forgive. First and foremost, she has a hard time forgiving people for suggesting that she drop the "holier than thou" attitude, as she is deeply offended by such.

 

There is one thing that Isabella dislikes more than the suggestion that she drop her "holier than thou" attitude and one thing only, and that's her seeing the expression of a cardinal sin. As such, Isabella herself will try her best to refrain from expressing a sin, if only to prevent herself from being seen as a hypocrite. Hence why she doesn't take pride in any of her actions; not because she believes she doesn't deserve credit for keeping Team GINX alive during missions which is far from true at all, but because she knows damn well that pride is a cardinal sin. However, Isabella has a crush on Gerard, which she hasn't acted on because she's unsure if this crush is out of genuine love or despicable lust. Regardless, it certainly explains why she prioritizes her Semblance abilities for him over the others, provided an acceptable margin of error of course. Though in her defense, Isabella will state that as the leader, Gerard's health is worth more concern than that of one who is no worse for wear, which is fair enough in terms of reasoning, to the point that most would let it slide. But although she hasn't ever denied it either, Isabella has also never confirmed that her crush for Gerard has anything to do with her prioritizing her Semblance for him, which suggests there's more to this crush of hers than she's letting on...
Weapon: The base form of Isabella's weapon appears to be that of a naginata, except it happens to be double-bladed. The main shaft is slightly longer than she is tall, and the blades extend another couple of inches from each end. Interestingly, this doubled-bladed naginata can be broken down into not two, not three, but a total of four sub-machine guns whenever Isabella is in need of a little range. The blades of the naginata become bayonets for two of the sub-machine guns. Those are both placed on her back for emergency situations, whilst she mains one other sub-machine gun in each hand. Whether her weapon is in its full naginata form or its broken down form, Isabella wields it with such grace and elegance, and moves in combat as if in rhythm to a song that she may or may not be humming in her head. It should be noted that Isabella sways her hips a lot during combat, especially during evasive maneuvers. The younger guys in particular may find this a little... distracting, to say the least. Before initiating each mission with the rest of Team GINX, Isabella not only dips the blades of the naginata in holy water, but she also inserts a fresh canister of Ice Dust on each end, which gets infused into the blades of the naginata or the two sub-machine guns that she keeps on her back. The combination of the Ice Dust and the holy water seems to deal heavy damage to the Grimm monsters, though the scientific logic behind that is unknown, and will certainly have to be looked into in future studies.
Semblance: Although this drains her own Semblance, Isabella can heal any teammate just by making or allowing contact with any part of her body. It should be noted that wounds closer to the contact point will heal faster than those further away, and that the more of Isabella's body that actually contacts someone, the more quickly that someone gets healed. But above all, it should be noted that Isabella can only use her Semblance to heal someone up to the state that their body was in 24 hours prior. Additionally, she'll still need to find limbs that may have been blown off or decapitated and hold them in the right position before her Semblance can repair the tissue necessary. Whenever Isabella herself is in need of healing, she can reverse the process of her Semblance to heal herself and drain someone else's Semblance, either through their own will, or by force if she deems it necessary. This will weaken the other person's Semblance temporarily, and if Isabella drains too much of it, she can silence the Semblance completely. Again however, it would only be silenced temporarily, and how long that takes exactly depends on the power of the Semblance itself. In any case, with her Semblance in a reversed process, Isabella can theoretically excel in battle with a student from another team, provided that she can get close enough to engage in melee combat.
