In Memorial of the Fallen: a RWBY RP [IC Thread]

[Nachfolgia]

Jackson decided to show off his weapon to Avena, after all she already showed hers. He pulled out a short club from his holster and it unfolded into a bat. "This is Apertor. Looks like a bat, but…" He then lets it unfold into an assault rifle and continues, "It is also an assault rifle that can fire both regular and Dust cartridges. Capable of full auto, semi-auto, single shot, and three round burst fire."

As he placed the folding bat back into his holster, the hologram that displayed today's news was replaced by the figure of a certain woman that looked like she was in her thirties. She began, "Hello and welcome to Beacon! My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." The hologram then disappears, and many of the students looked in awe at the view that they had from the airship.

Carmina and Leif both stood up to look below. Vale did look small from up here, especially the people. They also looked in awe at the sparkling blue sea right next to Vale. She commented to Leif, "Guess this is it. Beacon awaits us."

"Yeah, you're right", he replied with a smile. He was genuinely happy to be here.

Avena look at Jackson's weapon in awe. She had always been interested in what other hunters and huntresses use in combat. Her father had told her that a Hunter's weapon in an extension of his own body and if you take care of it, it will take care of you. " That's pretty cool, not as cool as Grimsbane, but...to each his own I guess." Avena said with a smile as she shrugged. Before the conversation continued a chime went off and a blonde haired lady came up on the holograms. Avena watched the woman introduce herself and explained how they are the select few to enter Beacon Academy. She was intrigued by what the woman was holding in her hand, resembling a riding crop. " You think she gets kinky with that thing?" Avena muttered to Jackson. Suddenly, the airship began to take off as soon as the woman disappeared on the hologram. Avena ran to the window and looked down at the shrinking landscape. " Awww cool. I've got to get me one of these." Avena said as she continued to look out the window.

[Serah]

Theriam listened carefully to the voice that spoke up through the hologram, as he knew it, it was a pre recorded message, the whole thing sounded fake to him, but he didn't get to ponder on it, as he was dragged by his brother on the border of the deck to make him see the whole institution that was Beacon.

"I expected it to be bigger, but it's surely bigger than Signal that's for sure." He said, in his usual monotone voice.

"It's pretty freaking big if you ask me, Signal is nothing compared to all that." Heamet answered "And I think we'll be living there for a bit, apparently, there's dorms." As he said that, he pointed to various things, including the headmaster of Beacon, which he saw, the last he pointed at were the grey buildings behind the tower.

"Look at all these trees! Those huge trees! Places to make houses!" Ether flailed around excitedly, if it was only for him, he'd jump right out to make a cabin again, as he's said many times, he loves his cabin.

The three of them looked out the window to gaze upon the majestic academy of Beacon, they quickly got back to their antics, and checked their weapons.

Heamet gazed upon his steel balls, they were his confection, a work of art as he calls it, anyone who dares insult his weapons shall suffer, he doesn't get mad often, but that insult is personal, he knew people laughed at his weapons for how pitiful they look, but he will show them, that Aura, and a little bit of creativity can make the complete difference in a fight.

Theriam looked at his sword, which was in Breaking Point form, it wasn't that fearful looking, but it did the job, and if you knew how to activate the other forms, it definitely looked deadly, and if you dared to go into the third form it would be the deadliest weapon you'd ever come up with. After all, it was his ancestor's sword, his family carried it on since the day it was reforged by his great grandpa, he used it to fight in the war that happened some time ago, he was proud of it, and carried it with the same pride his great grandpa did, at least that's what his grandpa always said.

Ether got out of the airship as soon as possible and looked at his chakrams, in looks, they had nothing that made them really special except maybe a few runic engraved on it, even if it didn't have anything special in appearance, in battle, it is a fearsome weapon, those two chakrams were given to him by one of his great grandpas, one of the only people in his family that he didn't absolutely hate, he actually got his feather's from him, and relished that fact, his grandpa taught him how to use them, and how to link his semblance to his chakrams, the latter fact being now permanent, his weapons have many surprises that most people don't know about, and he'll be glad to show them, in time. He made them spin a bit and sheathed them.

[Arvenia]

Shinji got out of the airship as he walks with his hands in his jacket's pockets and his green hood of.

[Serah]

Heamet came up to Shinji to ask for his advice, he had thought of a new way to use his weapons, but he needed the advice of someone who'd have an impartial advice.

"Hey Shinji. I need advice, I found a new way to fight with my weapons, could you give me your point of view?"

[Arvenia]

Heamet came up to Shinji to ask for his advice, he had thought of a new way to use his weapons, but he needed the advice of someone who'd have an impartial advice.

"Hey Shinji. I need advice, I found a new way to fight with my weapons, could you give me your point of view?"

"I don't know..." Shinji responded. "I am having difficult with my weapon too."

[Serah]

Heamet looked at him again, and got out his weapon.

"Well, why don't we have a mock fight? You can go all out, I just want to test if it's worth it, because I really don't know about it." He submitted.

Also, I'll go easy on you, since you have difficulties with it. I really don't mind going easy, at worst I can heal you back up if I go too crazy.

[Neo ORB]

Yuki had slept on the bench alone for hours, surprisingly no one had talked to her or woke her up so she had gotten a nice power nap, which was partly surprising as she was forcefully stirred by a hologram which started speaking to the whole of the group assembled.
As her consciousness was aroused from rest she caught the tail end of what the hologram of a woman was speaking.

"...and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world."

Yuki stared blankly as the hologram dissipated and then raising her hand and let out a small yawned as her body demand fresh oxygen. It was then that Yuki decided to finally get up as she slowly rose from the bench to look at the window. What she saw was indescribable, the buildings, the Trees, the majesty of it all... if she had emotions surely she would have cried, but she felt impartial to it all, or at least that's what she thought until a few drop of water hit her hand below.
Slowly her fingers reached up to caress her cheek, and sure enough her skin was slightly wet as tears slowly rolled down her cheeks from her tear ducts. A small inaudible huff was released... it was funny, after seven years of being a doll, without the ability to show any emotion other then rage in battle could she have actually been moved to the point of crying without noticing? such a thing couldn't be possible could it?.

But yet here she was, in front of Beacon with tears streaming down an expressionless face. Her hand dropped as if its strings were cut, her fingers touched "Tundra" and slowly she picked her weapon up and held it in front of her could she really do it... They had failed her twice in order to give her the skills she needed for this academy. But did that mean she could succeed?...
It was soon then that the Airship landed, some were disembarking but Yuki stayed there for a moment watching and then breathed in and then started to disembark herself.

[Arvenia]

Heamet looked at him again, and got out his weapon.

"Well, why don't we have a mock fight? You can go all out, I just want to test if it's worth it, because I really don't know about it." He submitted.

Also, I'll go easy on you, since you have difficulties with it. I really don't mind going easy, at worst I can heal you back up if I go too crazy.

"No thanks" Shinji said. "My weapon is a revolver-sword with various ammo types from regular ammo to dust ammo. I named it Red Sorrow, because it represents both my first Grimm kill at the age of 14 and the loss of my biological parents at the age of 4."

[Serah]

Theriam slowly disembarked and searched for his idiot of a brother, he always was the serious one between them, never asking anything doing everything by himself and only seldom picking fights, most of those fights were most likely to defend his brother from the people that were bothering him, though, as much as people told him not to fight for a dumb reason, he always liked those fights, knowing he would always win because he knew the weak points of people, whether it was a mental breaking, or physical breaking he could always do it, the only one that he hasn't beaten yet was his brother, both of them knew each other so well that they predicted every move one or the other would do, may it be long range, or close combat, that never bothered him, but yet, he always wondered why it would always end in ties, as he disembarked he saw his brother ready his weapons against a faunus boy, yet the faunus didn't seem too bothered by it.

He made his way through the crowd by speeding around and pushing a bit, until he stumbled yet again on the same person he met on board, Yuki. He didn't know why he yet again ran into her, it seemed he had a tendency to run into each other, though something seemed wrong, tears streamed down her face while she still had the same poker face he always has, he tried to get her attention by apologizing again for running into her.

As Heamet got an answer he asked "What do you mean by no thanks? You mean no to the mock fight or the fact that I told you I would go easy on you?"
He was utterly confused and really didn't know what to say, he then thought to forge another pair of steel balls to complete what he wanted to do.

He was utterly confused and really didn't know what to say, he then thought to forge another pair of steel balls to complete what he wanted to do.

"I am just not feeling for a mock fight now." Shinji responded. "I am just preparing myself for the initiation."

[Serah]

Heamet took a rather saddened face and spoke up.

"I see, it's okay I understand, well, I guess I should prepare myself for that initiation of sorts myself." Heamet walked off pondering on his ideas of making his weapons more efficient, as he thought about he it he stumbled upon other people, including a certain person named Sharpe, it did ring a bell but he couldn't put a name on it, he sat on a bench nearby and his balls spin around with the energy he usually uses, he wonder how he will make it through Beacon briefly but put away the thought, as he found it to be depressing.

Ether was busy going around the trees to find a perfect one to hide himself if needed, after all, it's not because he got to Beacon that it will make him a social butterfly, he rested against a tree for a while playing with his chakrams wondering about life and the taste of coffee, why it was so addictive, why was it black, though, he already knew the answers to this he still liked to ponder about it.

[Neo ORB]

Yuki held "Tundra" lightly as she had disembarked from the ship only to have been run into again, what this something common in Vale or was it just her unlucky day?. She silently wondered this as she turned to face who had knocked into her and was lightly surprised by the fact it was Theriam again. With the same monotone voice as always, she turned to face the man and spoke as she gripped "Tundra" for some reason harder then before.

"Oh.. we seem to keep running into each other like this... was the ride enjoyable for you? find your friend?"

[Serah]

"Well my first goal was that, yes, but I do find your company rather enjoyable, and that is rare, so I don't really mind runnin into you." He answered in the same monotone voice he's been using since the beginning of the day, it was odd, he never ran into someone more than once, he always was careful not to, as it could turn rather awkward for people he ran into.

[Arvenia]

"Yeah" Shinji said.

[Serah]

Heamet tilted his head at what happened, and again spoke up.

"Who are you talking to Shinji? Faunus ears hearing stuff?" He asked while still making his balls spin around, He was finding this rather enjoyable as it was a great time killer and a good training for the initiation to come, he still had no idea how he'd go about it though, he thought no one really knew.

Ether was still going around, finding trees to hide in and ocasionally lauching his chakrams in the air, one could've mistaken him for a lost child having fun in the woods, had no one known and had he not been so tall.

"Nothing" Shinji replied. "My biological parents were killed by a rogue Huntsman and a pack of Grimm. That madman had a semblance that can control his targets, so he used it to control the Grimm creatures at the time of my parents' murder. My little sister is living with an Atlesian General."

[Serah]

Heamet looked at him with a dumbfounded face, he already told him that, at least he thought so, not wanting to bring up much more, he just answered flatly.

"Oh, must've been hard to go through."

He still made his balls spin within his hands to distract himself from thinking about sad stuff, he was tempted to attack a random person but refrained to do so.

[Arvenia]

"Shinji, are you thinking about ruining my plan to create my 'Empire' that will rule the Remnant for all eternity? You stupid catboy. You aren't smart. Your old parents died in vain! You will not live longer! I will end you! I will control the Grimm creatures! Me and them will rule the Remnant forever!" Algoran said to Shinji's mind. Those words made Shinji uncomfortable.

[Arvenia]

Shinji then got a vision from earlier that day at his adoptive sister's home, two hours before the arrival to the Vale Airport. He was sleeping on a bed when his adoptive older sister Seras Maria came in and wake him up. He was dressed in his clothings, except without his jacket, his shoes and his sidepack.
"Shinji, you got to eat something before you leave for Beacon." Seras Said to him. His vision skipped to the ride to the airport.
"Is my sister with me?" Shinji asked Seras.
"No, she is still in Atlas and trains to be an Atlesian soldier" Seras responded. " I'm so sorry for your parents' death. I hope Algoran rot in hell." Shinji just looked out of the car window.
"Who cares? My life is a hell of a nightmare. My semblance sucks." Shinji said.
"Even your life is hell, Beacon would be a better place for you." Seras said to him. "Your ancestors fought in the Faunus War and the Great War, for equality, freedom, peace and solidarity. No matter if you lose, you keep try and train until you win. Remember that, kid."
"Yeah, I will remember that." Shinji said.
"Your parents would be proud over you if they were alive." Seras said again. "Even my brother is an a-hole, you're like the best sibling I ever had."

[Stormwrath]

Avena look at Jackson's weapon in awe. She had always been interested in what other hunters and huntresses use in combat. Her father had told her that a Hunter's weapon in an extension of his own body and if you take care of it, it will take care of you. " That's pretty cool, not as cool as Grimsbane, but...to each his own I guess." Avena said with a smile as she shrugged.

Avena ran to the window and looked down at the shrinking landscape. " Awww cool. I've got to get me one of these." Avena said as she continued to look out the window.

Ugh. Is this girl serious? Why would she think that girl on the hologram would have some weird tastes when it comes to those things? Jackson was partly disgusted now with her. If she was going to be on his team, who knows what else may be embarrassing for him. As he was looking out the window, Vale was increasingly looking smaller and smaller from the airship. Avena was amazed at the view. Jackson looked at her for a few seconds and let out a little smile. Yes, the view is indeed beautiful from up here.

"Seriously", he responded to Avena's comment. After a long pause he then continued, "Personally, I always loved looking down at the world from up here. By the way, I know a better way where you can get the view." He then grabbed Avena's hand to lead her to a certain door. He was now prepared to pick the lock so he could access the outside of the airship.

[Arvenia]

Shinji looked upon the sky, watching it as he feels the wind bruising his hair and his body. He then got a vision from the day he killed a Grimm creature for the first time. He, Seras and Seras' team were at a Valean forest when a Beowolf attacked them. The teammates were struck by heavy claws and Seras got her face clawed by the Beowolf. Shinji found a dagger and stabbed the Beowolf in the back. Later, Shinji struck the beast's head with the dagger several times until the beast was dead. Blood flowed from the beast and Shinji had it's blood on his hands, his jacket and the dagger he killed the beast with. The vision was later moved to Shinji's new home when Shinji was 15 and is about to attend Sanctum. Seras came to Shinji's room with a familiar weapon.
"Shinji, this is your father's weapon, Red Sorrow" Seras said to him. "He had it up to his tragic death." Shinji felt sad and took the weapon. He then hugged Seras for no specific reason. Shinji felt not alright now in the present and fell on his knees.

[Nachfolgia]

Avena look at Jackson's weapon in awe. She had always been interested in what other hunters and huntresses use in combat.

By the way, I know a better way where you can get the view." He then grabbed Avena's hand to lead her to a certain door. He was now prepared to pick the lock so he could access the outside of the airship.

Avena was too busy looking down at the landscape to hear Jackson's comments. She did not expect him to grab her by the hand and drag her to the corner of the airship. " Don't tell me you're taking me to a corner to make out. I mean...I know I'm amazing and beautiful, but I just met you and I don't think I'm ready for commitment." Avena said kind of nervously as she continued to be dragged across the room. It didn't take long to make it to a door that was marked with an exit sign. She looked curiously at Jackson as he fumbled with the lock. " Where does that door go?" Avena asked.

[Arvenia]

Shinji used his semblance to silently walk pass people and arrive to a tree. There he calms down.

[Stormwrath]

Seriously, what is wrong with this girl?, he thought to himself. First time we met and she was already thinking I was wanting to make out with her? Even Avena's cockiness extends to her own looks too. While he was busy picking with the lock, Jackson then replied to her, "You'll know in a few seconds." Once he finished unlocking the door, he then opened it and led Avena to the top of the airship. It offered the view without the restriction of the windows, only a rail protected whoever was up here from falling off. This is indeed a much more amazing view compared to inside. Jackson then said to her with a bit of confidence, "Since you like nice views, here is one."

[Arvenia]

Shinji sat with his back on the tree and looked at his weapon again. He looked concerned that his father has both a kill and a loss once in his life, hence the weapon's name, the Red Sorrow.
