Biography:

Zac was born to a strict family or Huntsmen and Huntresses in Vacuo. They disciplined him to levels seen in soldiers, and trained him as such. He went out with his parents on hunts regularly and became rather skilled. During school he constructed his own weapon, and named it 'Maxim'. And followed the weekly routine with his parents for most of his life. He completed school as best he could, the unfortunate death of his Mother threatening his chances at getting into Shade didn't stop him, determined to apply at another school should he fail.

He worked his hardest and was accepted to Shade academy, however he wished to see the world. And applied as an exchange student at the prestigious Beacon Academy in Vale to complete his studies.

Personality: Despite his upbringing, Zac is fairly easygoing around others. However is strict regarding his own actions. He works to keep calm and collected, but can flare up on occasion. Zac works to lower unnecessary conflict and to do right by those he trusts. However, due to his strict upbringing, Zac has trouble with new people; It often takes him a significant amount of time to form bonds and trusting friendships.

COMBAT INFORMATION
Weapon: Maxim
Appearance:
Maxim
- Purposely modeled with a vintage appearance
Capabilities:
- 200 round magazines, surprisingly heavy
- Fires dust rounds, different magazines have different ammunition
- Conversion frame allows the weapon to fold into a large club with a small buckler shield.
- Weapon designed to support close and long-range fighters

Semblance: Dug In
Dug In allows Zac to create temporary energy barricades to defend team-mates. The number he can create depends on the size of the barricades. And they can only take a certain amount of damage, with smaller barricades able to withstand more than larger ones. Large amounts of focus are required for one-way shields, and tend to take less damage.

Sorry for the long delay in my post, my fever came back in full force this week. I'll try to get a post up and review everything by tonight or tomorrow.

I wouldn't say surprisingly heavy, since that would be expected of a gun/club like that, but accepted!

Oi Parcia, Jack now has a fellow gunslinger.

Again I tag, and again I'm uncertain on what would you need to fit into a team?
Someone who's all explosions and headshots?
The Flighty trickster?
The strategic symbol user?
The Impenetrable Defender?
Or something else entirely?

In the RWBYverse, Huntsman culture dictates that each student hones their own particular fighting style and forges their own weaponry according to their strengths, weaknesses and ideals; diversity is prioritised above all. In Team CLAL, for example:

• Clover is a tonfa/battle rifle user who possesses a Semblance that distorts sound around his opponents; his main focus is offensive support.
• Layla has grappling claw gauntlets and a Semblance that allows her to transfer electricity through contact, making her role flanking and area denial.
• Albastru utilises a battle rifle that can alternatively transform into a sniper rifle and two shortswords, making him very versatile in terms of conventional combat, but also has a telekinetic Semblance that makes him a powerful battlefield caster.
• Lucius Aurelius is the most heavily armoured of the team and uses a sword/flail and large shield, giving him the task of being the team's close combat brawler and defender; his weapon, however, also has powerful mid-range AoE assault and control capabilities by virtue of being a Dust grenade sling staff when in flail form, while his Semblance allows him to confound enemies by controlling to an extent what they can and cannot see.

In short, then - design a character who can fill given roles in combat and fill those roles well. Your teammates will pick up the slack elsewhere.

I see. I'm going to create a character with a "charged" version of Ruby Rose's Semblance (IE, he can move quickly/leap/dodge out of the way. The longer he charges, the further he is able to jump) combined with a pavise-shield/gatling gun combo would (in theory) allow said character to be rather versatile in combat? My biggest concern is the dreaded words "It's too OP".

No trouble, I'm just stuck as to how I could introduce this character.
Hope you get better.

It would be up to Stormwrath, but I don't see why it would be! I like the creativity involved in the concept.

Anuben Blazure is heavy weapons Faunus. He bonks people with shield and mows down foes with mini-Gatling gun. Also, is it possible for one to be raised as a mercenary? I doubt very much that the Grimm threat is so vast that humans and faunuses can't find a reason to kill one another. Especially when there's Dust or coin involved...

I can't say for those who are looking for a team, but one thing to note is that their abilities are meant to complement each other, cover each other's weaknesses, and effectively work as one unit. Not saying that they should be all these things from the get-go (not even Team RWBY acted as one team at times), but it should be considered.

Hmm...

Vacuo.

Vacuo would be perfect for that - perhaps not for mercenaries so much as guards for caravans moving from village to village or, conversely, for brigands assaulting those caravans. With such a weak administration, I have no doubt that such groups would develop. The place is a desert so it works thematically, too.

We protect whoever has coin, or cannot help themselves, whichever the circumstance may be. These Hunters are cliched out of a Mad Max style of 80s cop movies: Loose cannon mavericks with no regard for red tape, and who solely exist to kick ass, take names, and make monies.

I made my changes awhile ago and i am still waiting for acceptance.

Yep, that sounds a lot like Vacuo. The idea has my support, for what it's worth.

No-nonsensed Merc is gonna hit the streets of Beacon. Ladies, gird yourselves.

Accepted.

[Servanity]

yay now just need to find out who i am gonna work with.

[Servanity]

Since the tournament is already underway what would be the best place to me to post? Or the best person to interact with?

[Torsiedelle]

Hi hi.

I am also interested in this RP, at least in reading a bit so far to understand it. I'm plenty familiar with RWBY, just don't like to be too ignorant of the RP itself.

Also interested cause I know Storm from another RP.

Well my character is just about to arrive if you want to meet them.

Look who decided to show up.

But srsly tho, a big welcome to you, Torii. xD

Between you two, Danceria and Torsiedelle, we might just have a new team on our hands!

Shhh... Calm thyself. 'Tis alright. You need not rush. The outcome will be better for the additional consideration.

If so, the name of my character is Anuben Blezure (pronounced Ah-new-ben Bleh-zoor), so A or B for names. Make it kickass! And indeed, trying to find a suitable biography on why a merc wouldn't want to stay a merc. Perhaps an uber-powerful Grimm just nearly killed his entire crew, and he was the only survivor.

OOH! IDEA! IDEA! In the lore of RWBY, how does recruitment to Beacon Academy work? Or Academies in general? Are there scouts scouring for otherwise untapped potential Hunters?
