[Former Citizens of the Nimbus System]

I'm happy to say that I've been a member for as long as I can remember!

Anyway, this is something of an opportune moment: I'm not sure that you saw my last post in the IC thread, which was directed at Zimt, so I shall make sure that you are aware of it now.

...gawd dammit. I need to reply then. Sorry.

That's perfectly fine; it's far from the most heinous crime committed in human history!

In short: I'm a pedant.

What?

In this case, I'm a stickler when it comes to grammar and good writing practices in general. You may have noticed that my posts are often edited after they are posted; this is typically because I have noticed a mistake of some kind and cannot abide seeing it remain.

I have mixed feelings about this...

To be fair, a decent chunk of that was discussing a possible team, it's leader, and name. At least, for the last couple of days.

Also a new member. And why is activity bad?

[Stormwrath]

Oh geez, I have to post in the IC, don't I? Fuck.

Hey, that's my line.

Icrum is Discord scum. He likes it when everyone is on Discord.

OOC Activity isn't bad at all. In fact, this RP would be dead in the water if it didn't have that initial lightning-fast OOC activity that kicked things off in the IC (bcoz that means everyone's still interested in this thing).

I must say, I love that Zimt has analysed Lucius Aurelius' behaviour and come to the conclusion that he is an idealist.

[Lunas Legion]

Meanwhile I wasn't even aware we had a discord.

[Apror]

Anyone on?

[North Arkana]

Anyone on?

yeah. So. Question. What's your character's semblance again?

[Apror]

Super Analysis. He can process new information extremely quickly, and can tell what people's emotions and the such are when looking at them, or speaking to them. Also able to adjust to battles with the surprises and forming plans on the dot.

*eyebrow raise*

Well, my character is one of the teachers at Beacon, well, and teaching assistant one could say more accurately. You may end up encountering her at some point.

I read her app. Yeah, Coal with be like 'well this ought to be fun' when he sees her. It also depends on the classes.

Edit: I should add he doesn't make his semblance know.

Because Reina is a teacher level character, her semblance is a bit hax in terms of application.

[Apror]

I can't. I tried, but I can't.

CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name:Coal Marks
Age:16
Sex:Male
Race: [x ] Human [ ] Faunus
Animal Traits (Omit if human):
Biography:: Coal was born in Atlas. His life was relatively interesting, and much expected of him. His parents immigrated from Vale, who came from a long line of Knight like warriors. His Grandfather a renowned fighter in the Great War, know for saving his Platoon by using a variety of tricks, treacherous tactics, and sheer brilliance to kill, injure, or capture an entire Minstrel Battalion. Ever since then, his family was famous. Though the people before his Grand Father did great multitudes of things, this was the most seen and heard.

Training from the age of 6, he was determined to life up to the expectations given to him. Training from dawn to dust. He was also rather open, and when it came to making friends, he had a fairly good time of doing it. Human, or Fanus. He'd go to the poor districts and play with the Fanus children, though it wasn't exactly approved of by a great many people close to his parents. They tried to convince the child to stop playing with the ‘trash’ and the ‘rodents’ but instead, his parents simply cut those people off.

In his youth, he had one particular relationship with his only sibling. His sister named Autumn. She was of a cold nature, which might think one to believe they had a off relationship, but it wasn't the case. His older sister of two years had always a close relationship, and a protective one of her little Brother. Not that he needed it, but people were weary of being aggressive to the younger out of fear of the older ones wrath. Two years earlier, she left for Vale's academy. They kept contact throughout the time there, but one day, she stopped responding to her brother's messages. Not just his, but the Family in general. The School contacted, they demanded here whereabouts. She had disappeared. Where, why, or even exactly when were unknown.

The Family, especially Coal was devastated. What had happened to their older child, the Autum so close to Coal? Her friends attempted to help, and found out she wendsday out into the wilderness of Vale. No one knew why. Going after his Daughter, Coal's father tried tracking down his daughter, but it took him to the most dangerous areas of Remanent. The fights grew tougher, longer, deadlier. The beasts bigger and more numerous. Soon, he stopped reporting back, and when ships were sent to find him, they only brought back part of a corpse.

A father killed, and a sister missing. This drove Coal into training, trying to find a way to keep his mind off the losses. Unfortunately, it drove his mother to drinking, and she went on a down hill spiral.

He had gained through the years of training an acrobatic style, but also hard hitting. He was very limber, and made sure through his time in Atlas to remember never to grow lax on that aspect of his training. He spent years at other fighting schools, and his own personal traing.

After years of training, he went to Vale to become a Hunter. Why? Well, mostly to live up to his expectations. Or, that's what most people thought. He felt his sister wasn't dead. He knew it in his gut she was still alive. He was going to rise above his family's past actions and accomplishments and find his sister.

Personality: He is very outgoing, kind, and cracks many jokes. He though had a dark side, willing to kill if it suits the greater good, or if he is genuinely enraged, which is hard to do. Also unduly obsessive when it comes to certain things like his wanting to find his Sister. He finds it hard to be honest with himself at times, and seeing what his emotions were, when it was so easy to see others. He could be loudest and most obnoxious in a room, but at other times be silent with readings of death vibrating off him. He is organized in sometimes, but absolutely cluttered in others. A booming voice when needed to be, and fairly deep. His voice sounded more his age when with friends, but when going about daily life, it was deep, giving many people the impression he was older than he actually was.
Appearance:His appearance is Black skin, with light blue eyes. He is slim, but muscular. He facial features are a maturing, handsome look. However still retains some of his youthfulness. His hair resembles John’s a little, however his hair is dark brown. Normally just wears a pair of dark jeans and a black t-shirt. He said he did not like cloths that he regarded as too attention seeking. He needed to shave twice a week, or would begin to noticeably start growing hair. He has no idea what a beard or mustache would look like on him considering he sister and mother we're hell bent on him to keep shaving, and continued so out of habit.

COMBAT INFORMATION
Weapon: His weapons are a Crusader resembling shield and sword, however the sword doubles as a Shotgun. The Sword's name is Red Redeemer. The Red representing the blood shed by his Ancestors, enemy and their own. Forged using Ancient techniques only known to his family, the Metal is very strong, and the source would have to be extremely powerful to even dent the blade. It is powerful in itself, but the Shotgun continues to fire Red Dust, symbolized as a fire shotgun, burning at the armored foes, and utterly disintegrating the non-armored foe. It is decorated with a family decoration, showing his family story ending with him. However, to everyone outside the family, it is just a beautiful design. It's an ancient type of writing in reality.
Appearance:Looks like a Crusader knight, but the armor though very protective, is light allowing him to move at fast pace. Also the there is no helmet. Red outlines on his armor, with armor covering light metal, but very strong. Its metal also a secret to the Marks family. His family seal, a crimson cross, decorated the armor. On the hilt of the sword, it says in scribbling 'Deus Vult.' God wills it.
Capabilities:Very fast paced fighter striking hard and fast with the ability to switch shotgun with sword mid swing. He can run quickly on walls, and uses his shield to bash. He's very analyzing, making the ability to analyze things at a moment’s notice and come up with ways to react. No stranger to fighting Grim, he tends to get sadistic when playing with Grim. Studying the human body, he also knows where best to hit his opponent, but unfortunately, most those techniques he had devised, most after his father's death, were excruciatingly painful, many lethal, and would only ethically be used in rare situations. He may not care about the ethics part however.

Semblance: His Semblance is Super Analysis, being able to process things is also higher . Be it different languages, Battle situations, or the perfect comeback. He's ability allows him to read peoples moods, though not their thoughts. He plan forming ability is also above par, and tends to disregard his emotions when using it. It makes it easier when he has cruel moments of taunting others, or crushing their spirits. A neutral face was the best one to deliver that kind of judgment. He used this tactic abundantly against School bullies. He keeps it a secret, claiming he simply 'hasn't got it yet.' He also can't rely on it until throrughly developed, so makes sure to use it sparsely. The Semblance consumes more Aura the longer he uses it. Other Mental Semblances are also harder to counter. He has to mostly rely on his own skill. Not his Semblance.

Fortunately, for Remnant, Reina chose to focus on sensory application, rather than complete focus on direct physical waves.

Fortunately for Remanent, Coal is a chill dude, and doesn't go full Crusader unless it's justified.......most the time. He doesn't attempt to limit himself, but he doesn't cross certain boundaries.
