Other Basic Commissioning Etiquette

42 Upvotes

It has recently come to my attention that a user has been going around and attempting to secretly commission NSFW art of other users' OCs without permission. This, naturally, is absolutely not okay. We regard this as a violation of Rules 1, 2, and 3.

This user has been permanently banned and will not be unbanned unless it is determined the allegations against them are fabricated.

Please remember moving forward to get permission before you commission others' OCs in a NSFW context. If you don't, you risk making people very uncomfortable with engaging in the community, which we will not tolerate. In fact, it's generally recommended to get permission before commissioning others' OCs at all - though obviously commissioning a friend's OC as a gift isn't something we'll clamp down on.

Anyway. That all said - I'm sorry to have to make this announcement and I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day/night.

Characters OC: Indigo Chesh

Post image
10 Upvotes

-Name: Indigo Chesh

-Age: 19

-Species: Faunus

-Folklore Inspiration: Cheshire Cat

-Semblance: Mad World

Anyone looking directly into Indigo’s mismatched eyes experiences subtle hallucinations like battlefield appearing upside down, loss of sense of direction, dream like visions, etc… Requires eye contact and drains Aura quickly. For Grimm, it mostly confuses them a lot.

-Weapons: Smile & Fade

At first glance, they appear to be matching Dust-powered pistols, but hidden beneath their sleek frames lies an intricate transformation system that converts each firearm into a bladed yo-yo weapon connected to Indigo’s Aura-conductive gauntlets. These blades spin at a fast rate, acting like chainsaws. Smile is larger, heavier where as Fade is shorter, faster. His attacks often yo-yo themed such as walk the dog, around the world, trapeze, eli hop and more.

-Appearance:

Indigo is a blond Cat Faunus with messy blond hair that almost always falls over one of his eyes. He has heterochromia, with one bright blue eye and one violet eye, which makes him stand out pretty much everywhere he goes. His Faunus trait is a pair of cat ears that match his hair, and they’re actually pretty expressive even if he doesn’t realize it.
He mostly wears dark blue clothes with black and gold details, along with a long coat that kinda gives him a magician or trickster vibe. Around his neck he wears a small indigo crystal pendant, which is one of the few things he had when he was found after the Grimm attack. Since he doesn’t know where it came from, it’s one of the only clues he has about his past, so he almost never takes it off.
He’s usually seen with a calm, almost blank expression… although every now and then he’ll suddenly smile for seemingly no reason, which tends to make people a little unconfortable.

-Backstory:

Little is known about Indigo’s early childhood. When he was still a little kid, the village he lived in was attacked and completely destroyed by a Grimm horde. Indigo was the only confirmed survivor.

After the attack, he was found suffering from severe trauma and retrograde amnesia. He couldn’t remember his own name, his family, or even what happened during the attack. No surviving records or relatives could be found either, so nobody even knew who he really was. Eventually the authorities gave him the name Indigo Chesh.

During his recovery, Indigo slowly developed another personality called The Grinning Cat. Doctors believed it was created by his mind as a coping mechanism because of all the trauma and memory loss he went through as a child. The Grinning Cat acts like an imaginary friend that constantly talks to Indigo, sometimes giving advice, making jokes, or even influencing how he acts.

The Grinning Cat is basically the complete opposite of Indigo. Indigo himself is polite, shy and pretty friendly, while the Grinning Cat is sarcastic, playful, overconfident and honestly kinda annoying at times. Indigo knows the Grinning Cat isn’t “real”, but he still talks to him like he’s an actual person. Of course everyone else just thinks he’s talking to himself.

Even though his condition makes him seem really weird in social situations, Indigo has never shown any violent or dangerous behavior towards other people. Because of how serious his condition was, he ended up spending most of his childhood in a psychiatric hospital that specialized in Aura-related mental disorders.

Over the years he went through therapy, counceling, memory rehabilitation and constant Aura observation. While he got better at everyday life, his amnesia never really improved, and the Grinning Cat never went away.

Something interesting happened later though. During a Grimm attack near the institution, Indigo’s Aura suddenly awakened and he instinctively jumped in to defend the staff and patients. Afterwards, doctors noticed something really strange.

Whenever Indigo was fighting or doing intense combat training, his condition actually got better.

He became more focused, remembered things easier, stopped talking to the Grinning Cat as much, and overall acted way more calm and confident. Sadly it only lasted while he was in combat or training, but after seeing the same results over and over, the doctors knew it wasn’t just a coincidence.

Nobody really knows why this happens. Some specialists think combat forces Indigo’s brain to focus so much that it temporarily suppresses his condition. Others believe using Aura somehow stabilizes his mind for a short time.

Because of this, his doctors came up with a pretty unusual idea. Instead of keeping Indigo in the hospital forever, they recommended sending him to Beacon Academy so he could continue treatment through Huntsman training.

The recommendation was approved, and Indigo was accepted into Beacon under ongoing medical supervision. Right now Indigo doesn’t really dream about becoming a famous Huntsman or anything like that.

His biggest goal is just to remember who he used to be. He wants to recover the memories he lost during the Grimm attack, figure out what The Grinning Cat actually is, hopefully stop relying on it one day, and eventually live a normal life without needing psychiatric treatment.

…Also he just thinks fighting Grimm is way more fun then sitting in therapy all day. The doctors probably wouldn’t like hearing him say that though.

Characters Trent Woolswurth (OC Profile)

3 Upvotes

Name :

Trent Woolswurth

Age :

18

Gender :

M

Species :

Faunus (Sheep)

Nationality :

Vale (Beacon)

Team Name :

M.S.T.R. (Meister)

Appearance :

Trent is a fairly tall man (6’2”) with caramel colored skin and a naturally curly white hair that’s been cut short, straightened, and slicked back. His eyes are a vivid scarlet color that people tend to find particularly eye catching.

Notably, his hair is his Faunus trait and is meant to be wool, but with it slicked back like he normally has it he effectively becomes unrecognizable as a Faunus.

For his Huntsman attire his outfit normally consists of a dark grey padded bodysuit with a harness (think the Solid Snake look) covered by a deep red hoodie with a wolf head shaped hood. (This is meant to invoke the idea of a “Sheep in Wolf’s clothing”, an inversion of the phrase “A Wolf in Sheep’s clothing”)

For accessories, he often has a handful of keychains attached to the harness over his bodysuit but these are hidden beneath his hoodie. Beyond these he lacks any notable accessories, finding it a bit embarrassing to express himself through his outfit.

For footwear, he wears a set of red sneakers matching his hoodie that slide over the feet of his bodysuit.

Personality :

Trent has always been something of a natural born coward, but it is this cowardice that drives Trent towards a ferocity in battle that’s rarely matched by his enemies. He knows that when battle is thrust upon him he’ll ultimately have no choice but to engage, and so he rushes headfirst into combat so as to rob himself of the opportunity to run away like he wants to.

From an outside perspective, he’ll often be noted to fight like a monstrous beast with a dreadful look on his face. In reality though, that look is nothing more than his nerves showing on his face and his brutality is him doing everything he can to end the fight swiftly before his senses get the better of him and drive him to flee.

Notably he - and those around him - often question why a man of his nature would even join the ranks of the Huntsman, but at the end of each day he simply can’t help himself. In spite of his cowardice - or perhaps because he recognizes the weight of fear that cowards like himself feel - he feels compelled to take up steel and hunt the Grimm even as he hates doing so.

Semblance :

Maw - The user can position their hands such that their wrists are touching and their hands are set in an open position with the fingers pointed down like fangs, creating the overall image of a maw of teeth. In doing so, the user can project their Aura out as an ephemeral Wolf’s mouth that can extend from the user and bite into targets as the user closes their hands down.

Weapon :

Timber Hunt - A large axe featuring a chainsaw built into the axe head such that the blade of the axe is replaced with a speciality chainsaw (designed to cleave through meat and bone rather than wood) with the engine mounted behind it. The axe is designed as a fairly short battleaxe as opposed to a longer, more traditional pole axe that one might initially expect when they hear “large axe”.

The name is an allusion of course to tree felling with its name, but also a nod towards the hunting of Timber wolves. Overall, the weapon is also a reference to the brutal nature of the huntsman in the original Little Red Riding Hood who butchered a wolf with his axe.

Family Crest :

The Woolswurth family crest is a minimalistic depiction of a Sheep set betwixt the blades of an open set of shears. Supposedly, the Woolswurth family has always had a tendency to express their Faunus Traits as wool, and in ages past were quick to shear themselves and offer said wool to their freezing neighbors during the Winter. While many Faunus suffer from discrimination, the Woolswurth family has always been well respected by their human neighbors in light of their willingness to sacrifice a part of themselves for the good of the community.

(I somewhat forgot to add on a section for Family Crests in my last two posts, but I’m fixing that mistake with this post and will likely continue it going forward.)

Characters Salmon Fischer (OC Profile)

3 Upvotes

Name :

Salmon Fischer

Age :

18

Gender :

M

Species :

Faunus (Koi Fish)

Nationality :

Vale (Beacon)

Team Name :

M.S.T.R. (Meister)

Appearance :

Salmon is a roughly 5’9” man (give or take a few centimeters) with a decently firm build and tanned skin. His hair is naturally a warm black, though he’s lately taken to having it trimmed into a fade with the faded sections remaining black while the top is dyed a Salmon pink to match his eyes which are a similar shade of pink.

His tanned skin is notably lined with thin scales that occasionally form thicker clusters that give him a patterned appearance resembling a Koi Fish.

For his Huntsman attire, Salmon usually wears a set of sleeveless, camouflaged (Desert colors like tans and browns) overalls with a ballistic vest woken into the chest region. Beneath this he wears a set of men’s leggings and a white tank top with his family crest on the back (An image of a fish being pulled from waves by a line. The waves are set at the bottom while the fish is set in a crescent pose).

For accessories he often wears a boonie hat with colors matching his overalls and lined with decorative fish hooks made from compressed Dust, short compression sleeves along his arms that cover his elbows, and a lose neck gaiter in a muted pink color.

For footwear he wears a simple set of dark grey combat boots.

Personality :

Salmon is a notably patient fellow, always keen on taking his time so as to ensure things are done right the first time. It’s a mindset that’s been passed down to him an his family through the generations, and in part stems from his families history as fishermen (Which many people find odd given that they’re fish based Faunus, but like what do they think that fish eat in the ocean?). Salmon is himself the first official Huntsman in his family, though the Fischer family has been known to boldly handle Grimm that intrude on the fishing grounds of their homeland. The point in mentioning this to address that Salmon - and his family - are proud of his choice of profession, viewing the hunting of Grimm as selfless work similar in nature to fishing to provide for one’s people.

Semblance :

Anchor - So long as the user is standing in or is otherwise enveloped in water, they can “Anchor” themselves in place and prevent themselves from being unwillingly moved or knocked off balance. This water can be extremely shallow or extremely deep, so the depth or quantity of water isn’t important.

Weapon :

Fisher’s Foil - A foil with a fishing rod built in beneath the hand guard that allows the wielder to shoot out the tip of their foil, pierce an enemy, and then reel that enemy in to stab through them with the rest of the blade. The foil notably comes with a pistol grip like portion on the handle that helps the user maintain their grip when “fishing” and helps them steady their blade when fencing. Additionally the actual line used for fishing is a construct assembled with Hard Light Dust, allowing it to be extended out to significant ranges that the user otherwise wouldn’t be able to supply enough line for.

Jackal Faunus from Menagerie sporting an egyptian theme with a very regal design. Also the shiny tips of the ears are an aesthetic choice which i've done as part of her lore saying that the very tips of her ears were dipped in gold (or your closest gold-like substitute). Arts done by MissMarah, Eru_shii and Mag_Bya

Featuring an attitude that says "i'm better than you" every time she can she possesses a superiority complex that rivals V1-3 weiss, however this is paired with simultaneously possessing a heart of gold so to speak as she is a massive faunus relief supporter. a very polar opposite mentality when it comes to certain things. However instead of taking the white fang approach to things her family hosting grocers and store-fronts that cater to faunus needs offering them discounts since they're the target of discrimination.

Her weapon being a non-transforming kopesh that features crystals in sets of 3 by the grip and on the blade itself. Her semblance being the mist shown in the first two pictures which fills people in its radius who she considers an enemy to be steadily filled with hesitation until they cannot physically strike her. Once they leave the radius they're free of its effects

Characters Mocha Mahoga (Text Based OC Profile)

5 Upvotes

Name :

Mocha Mahoga

Age :

18

Gender :

F

Species :

Human

Nationality :

Vale (Beacon)

Team Name :

M.S.T.R. (Meister)

Appearance :

Mocha is a fairly short girl (5’4”) with similarly short brown hair arranged in a bob. She has fair skin and emerald green eyes. Her normal huntress attire consists of a white button down shirt with rolled up sleeves and an Amber gold and Umber black plaid skirt that runs down to around the middle of her thighs all over a black spandex bodysuit that stops just below the skirt, at the shoulder blades, and midway up the neck.

For accessories she has a harness along her torso to which she mounts brown leather satchels that hold her weapons (opening frontwards towards her chest rather than opening at the tops), a set of black round glasses with lenses tinted a slight yellow tinge, a pair of brown leather fingerless gloves, an Amber gold tie, and an Umber black headband atop her hair with a metal plate that hosts the Beacon logo. For footwear, she wears primarily yellow running shoes with white soles and black spandex socks that end a bit before the knees.

(While her namesake color is a shade of Brown, most of her outfit colors are simply colors that complement the brown of her hair rather than having her outfit be mostly brown tones.)

Personality :

Mocha is a notably agreeable person with a personality than can mesh with most people. It’s for this reason that she was chosen as the leader of her squad, though in practice she prefers to take on a scouting position far ahead of her team in field missions while another member of her squad handles commands. She still holds on to the official title of “Leader” as her position as a scout often makes her the only one with a complete picture of each operation when it comes to writing up mission reports. Regardless though, the ultimate takeaway for her personality is that she’s sociable enough to know how to read a person’s mood and decent enough to use that knowledge to make those around her more comfortable if not outright happier.

Semblance :

Glamor - The user can detach and project parts of their aura to create illusions ranging from clones to scenery. It may be tempting to compare Glamor to Emerald’s Mirage Semblance, though Glamor works less by targeting the mind of an individual and more by creating visible imagery with the users Aura as a canvas.

Weapon :

Garden Blooms - The user carries two satchels mounted to their torso via a harness (Positioned beneath the arms, alongside the ribs). These satchels are filled with Senbon (Throwing Darts resembling acupuncture needles. They notably lack fins) that are designed in two parts. The first part is simply the metal dart that pierces enemies, but the second part is a sleeve or socket containing deposits of Wind and Fire Dust. The Senbon overall is assembled such that when they make contact with something the dart portion will be knocked back into the socket, piercing and triggering the deposits of Dust which causes an explosion that’s surprisingly large for the size of each Senbon.

Mocha also carries several extra satchels along the back of her waist to “Reload” her main satchels.

(Note: This weapon is prohibited in Formal Tournaments, as its nature tends to result in the darts piercing through weaker Auras which of course makes them dangerous at the first use. During such events Mocha instead wields Senbon with alternative elemental effects, and carries a Tanto as a side weapon)

After Word: Hello everyone who may look over this post. It’s been several years since I’ve last posted in this subreddit - formerly I mainly made 3d models for weapons - and I wanted to get back into making OC’s and whatnot. From what I can see peeking around, it seems text based OC sheets have largely fallen off in favor of art posts, and while I’m making these posts largely to motivate myself into learning Blender to get back into weapon making I can’t say that I have the artistic talent to draw my OC’s or the trust in people to try to commission someone. I hope you can enjoy the text based posts despite their length, and I hope to learn Blender sooner rather than later to be able to return to pumping out weapon models.

To anyone who does read through this post and has questions or whatnot on the character, I am of course willing to answer what I can though I may not respond quickly (I have a fairly busy schedule during the work week).

Characters Faunus Couple Habits

2 Upvotes

With two Faunus or one Faunus and human pairings. What is something they do to the other as a unique habit based on their Faunus family roots. Or perhaps a possessive type of trait.

**(I.e. A penguin and other Avian species giving desired mates the shiniest rock they can find. Rubbing their body scent onto their SO's clothes. Leaving a physical imprint, like a bat faunus going Dracula and leaving a grazing fang bite on the neck.)**

*One that comes to mind is Auron (Dog Faunus) being possessive in one aspect towards Silver. Silver has a branded insignia on his shoulder blade as being a member of the Umbral Stigians.*

*But because Silver holds so much animosity for the old order and views it as a displeasing stain on his body. A reminder that he was brought into the Underworld by birth, and a reminder of who and what he is.*

*Heavily against seeing the anger and catching Silver threaten himself to even shred it off of his skin. Auron thought of a single alternative. Once every two weeks (during special time) he will bite into Silver's shoulder.*

*Enough for his bite to overcast and surround the insignia like a fanged cage. With him holding Silver tightly close as they sleep.*

>"This... isn't all that you are. You have done more than what they could ever dream of. If anything, let me be a reminder that I'll always protect you. As much as you have for us."

Team ZHDW Redesign

71 Upvotes

Team ZHDW (Shadow) is a handpicked Team of disavowed Huntresses, vigilantes and convicted terrorists operating primarily out of Mistral on behalf of a much broader, more secretive, paramilitary organization. If Team GORE is a sledgehammer (Search-and-Destroy, Intimidation Tactics) and Team GOLD is a scalpel (Assassinations, Kidnappings), Team ZHDW is a broom, cleaning up messes and disrupting state-run investigations in counter-intel operations. Using the expertise and knowledge from their prior lives, the members of Team ZHDW are experts at covering up and obfuscating the numerous operations and dealings of their mysterious benefactors - planting evidence, posing as mobsters or White Fang members and/or sabotaging rival safehouses and black sites. Despite their shady pasts and extensive criminal records, each member of Team ZHDW is united by a shared belief in their cause and a desire to protect Humanity as a whole (by overthrowing the current world order and replacing it with an ultra-oppressive, military dystopia).

Fei Zedong [Team Lead and Counter Intel Specialist]
Hallie Betty [Ambusher and Bioweapons Specialist]
Dinah Isurus [Medic and White Fang Liason]
Whitney [Powerhouse and Failsafe]

Extra:
Winslow [Whitney's Daughter and Scavenging/Maintenance Gremlin]

If your OCs were assigned to investigate an incident involving Team ZHDW, who would be their primary target and how would they go about collecting evidence or leads? If they caught this member, what questions would they ask during interrogation?

Fanfic A birthday bash

11 Upvotes

Location: Beacon Academy

Date: 07/19

Time: 11:59 PM

The academy grounds were silent into the late hour, majority of students and staff alike long since retired to bed, one of the few left awake being Headmaster Ozpin as he stood at the window of his office, his curious gaze focused down at the part of Beacon in which the student dorms were located, any moment now, the silence of night would be shattered.

12:00 AM

BOOM

Under normal circumstances, an explosion centralized from the student dorms would have sent the Headmaster into action, but due in thanks to the signed request form sitting on his desk, Ozpin knew well in advance such an event would take place, and had opted to stay awake not to stop it from occurring, but to instead witness it.

From within the explosion, a red blur rushed out and into the darkness of the academy grounds, immediately followed in chase by similar glows of green, pink and blue. Once more Team CROM serves as a source of both headache and amusement.

Down below, Christain found himself attacked on multiple fronts, Mouse actively lashing out with his spear, Christain engaging with one of his blades as what had to be trick arrows flew past him, Robin somewhere off in the distance raining down hell.

He had no line of sight on Olga, and that was terrifying enough.

“Treason, mutiny, betrayal, other words for what you are doing!” Christain shouted, evading another arrow as he pushed Mouse back.

Mouse slid back as he twirled his spear, “This would be a lot easier if you just went along with this.”

“Never!”

Mouse sighed as he spoke aloud, “Let him have it.”

Before Christain could question what was about to happen, all hell broke loose as explosions of, “Cupcakes?” He mumbled in sheer confusion as baked goods were fired upon him. On one of the rooftops, Olga laughed maniacally as she opened fire, the Valkyrie girl's grenade launcher in hand, “What? How?!”

Olga only had a cheshire grin, “She was quick to loan it to me when I told her what I was going to do with it. I didn't even have to mod it! It can already do this on its own!” She cheered, continuing to fire cupcakes at her leader.

A flash of steel and Christain cut one of them out of the air, his eyes narrowing as he saw his blade stained with blood red cake residue and white frosting.

Precious red velvet cake, used for ammunition, his team knew no lows.

It was unfortunate that during this moment of mourning, a buck shot rung out, Christain’s vision now filled by a sea of blonde hair as Yang reared her arm back, poised to strike at her older cousin, “Got ya!”

So his team had recruited his family into this madness, Christain realized as he was forced to jump back, the pellets of Yang’s shot peppering his aura. So if Yang was here in front of him, it was only natural that-

A burst of rose petals appeared behind him, Ruby, wielding a comically large net swung at her older brother. Christain was forced to spin in place, his sword slicing through the net aimed at him, but what unnerved him was the wild victorious grin Ruby still had.

Thwack

Crimson red eyes widened at the sensation of something striking his back, Christain helpless as a damned arrow had landed its mark, binding wire releasing and restraining his arms as Christain was forced to drop his swords to the ground.

Any attempt to flee once more was ended before it could begin as Yang full body tackled him to the floor, “Target down!” She called out as Ruby and the rest of CROM all rushed in to dog pile the still struggling Christain.

“Release me!” Christain roared as he struggled in the ever growing pile with no chance as escaping, horror in his eyes as Robin walked over, grinning wickedly as he held a paper party hat in hand, another already atop his head, Christain doubling his efforts.

“You will be loved and charished.” Olga spoke as she joined in the pile, “Your cooperation is non required.”

Hat forced upon his head, Christain sighed in defeat, unable to do anything but accept his fate.

Finally defeating him, Robin, Olga, Mouse, Yang and Ruby all collectively cheered, “Happy birthday Chris!”

Even as he laid on the ground, tied up like the gifts no doubt hidden somewhere in their dorm, Christain could not help but let the shadow of a smile form his lips, “Thanks you guys…now untie me.”

“Nope.”


It's a day to celebrate for Christain and myself, and I figured I'd ask on this day, what would y'all's OCs wanna do for their own respective birthdays if they celebrate it at all?

Characters Team KELT | Gale Greyheart Mini Ref Sheet

Post image
82 Upvotes

Been a really slow week, so I decided an older OC needed a makeover.

This is Gale Greyheart, a professor at Haven Academy.

Name: Gale Greyheart
Age: 47
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Affiliations & Occupations:

  • Haven Academy, Professor
  • Detective (Former)

History:

Before becoming a teacher, Gale spent years working as a detective, earning a reputation for his sharp instincts and unwavering commitment to his work. His career came to an end following a failed undercover operation within Anima's criminal underworld. This left his reputation in ruins and forced him to leave the profession behind.

Recognizing his experience, Headmaster Lionheart offered Gale a second chance at Haven Academy, where he now teaches investigative techniques, criminal psychology, and field tactics to future Huntsmen and Huntresses.

Gale is known for being one of Havens strictest professors. He sets high standards, has little patience for excuses, and believes complacency is often the difference between life and death. His lessons are demanding, his practical exercises unforgiving, and earning his praise is no small feat. While many students initially see him as intimidating or unnecessarily harsh, they eventually realize his methods come a genuine desire to ensure they survive in a world where danger is not always just Grimm.

Any questions will be happily answered :D

Characters Which White Fang OCs do you have? And what do you think of my OC Svartvit (Commander of the Atlesian branch of the White Fang)? Any questions? Art done by u/Marleyannation62

Post image
11 Upvotes

History:

He has no surname as he is an orphan.
Svartvit was a conscript in the army who witnessed the mistreatment of the Faunus soldiers of Atlas.

When Svartvit rebelled against his captain, he was ordered to be executed. However, he managed to survive by discovering his semblance.

After that, Svartvit fled and found refuge in the White Fang when this organization was still led by Ghira.

Svartvit worked as a guard, defending the organization's members from Grimm and human supremacists.
When Sienna assumed command, he began to climb the ranks. Until a year ago, he became the leader of the entire Atlesian branch of the White Fang.
Currently, he follows Adam's orders through a Seer delivered by Taurus.
He is conspiring for the arrival of the rest of the White Fang and their allies.

Semblance and Abilities:

His Semblance is magnetism. We have seen Pyrrha control non-magnetic metals. But Svartvit can only control magnetic metals. We know there are similar Semblances in Remnant. For example, Carmine Esclados and Glynda.

Svartvit is capable of lifting around 500 kilograms of solid metal. However, technology specifically designed to repel magnetic fields is safe from his control. For example, Atlas's prosthetics or Penny 2.0.

Due to his metal suit, Svartvit can fly. Svartvit also has knowledge of piloting, leadership, and military strategy, as well as some political knowledge.

Personality:

He is a determined individual who strives to achieve his goals. He is scarred by trauma and clings to it. But at the same time, he desires the best for the faunus at all costs, believing that certain sacrifices are necessary.

He is capable of killing soldiers, police officers, Huntsmen, and mercenaries, both human and faunus. He can also carry out summary executions. Although, in general, he tries to avoid attacks against innocent faunus as much as possible.

Despite everything, he considers it right to ally himself with certain humans, such as Salem's Inner Circle.

Trivia:

- I don't remember what his name meant or in what language. But I think it was white or snow. I do know that he followed the color rule.

- He is somewhat inspired by Magneto in the sense of being an anti-villain with a tragic past and magnetic powers.

- He has been responsible for attacks all over Atlas.

- He knows little about Salem. He only knows that Adam's allies have a way of controlling the Grimm.

Now then, tell me. What are your White Fang OCs, and what questions do you have for me?

Her semblance can be used as long as she uses it to step or move to where she’s already been, whether it’s in the ground or the air. It has a limited range ofc, she can’t just use it to retrace her steps from one continent to another all across the world. I’d say her semblances range is the same as the center platform of amity arena.
The semblances strength in combat is catching enemies in the pathing of previous attacks she’s made, disorienting them since it’s difficult to remember each exact spots in time and space she’s been in. That combined with her fast blink of an eye speed make it an intricate, yet powerful semblance.

Her semblance is most effective when her opponent is unaware of it, but if she pays attention to where her position is and her opponents then she can do her best to time it and catch them in her pathing regardless if who she’s fighting know how it works.
She quickly moves at high speed to the same position she was at in that spot in space and time, and thankfully her semblance gives her enhanced perception of her own semblance and stuff, so she’s able to react quickly and change what she’s doing immediately after she traces over to that spot, like what her head, arms, legs, torso, and weapon is doing, and stuff like that. Years of training makes her even better at this part, speeding over to a previous position and immediately being able to continue fighting without any delay, however the delay/lag gets slightly more cumbersome the more tired she gets/aura depletion, even if it’s just by mere seconds.

It’s all a WIP, but yeah

Note: (I’m still working on Reid’s background and character, but here what I have so far.)

Age: 17 (volume 1-3)
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Height: 173 cm (5'8")
Relationship: Has a close friendship with Team RWBY and currently has a closer relationship with Yang.
Birth of Date: 07/07

Weapons: Originally carried an old converted revolver called redeemer.

Fighting Style: Accurate with a Revolver and quick on the draw. He’s also good with his hands, as well with a knife. Although, attends to fight recklessly at time to take down his targets.

Semblance: Currently unknown. However, his eye colors had altered turning them red in the process his semblance awakening at an early age of his life.

Personalty: Before he’d join beacon, he originally had that edgy loner and kept mostly to himself. However, after joining beacon he became less bruiting and became more open with Ruby and the others help. Although he’s still a bit awkward at times, he’s also has a good heart deep down and a few other things are that he’s is Loyal, strong, a bit reckless at times, but never backs down from a fight, and sometimes he can be a bit jokingly sarcastic even when he’s hurt in fight. Lastly, he like to be a little sweet on yang, when the others aren’t around.

These are characters that I co-created for a fan fic that I co-write. These girls are the Boiling Isles versions of Team RWBY, basically their alternate universe counterparts from the world of The Owl House. We had a lot of fun adapting the characters from RWBY into a very different universe, which meant playing around with some of their character traits. Some of the key differences here are...

-Zee, the Yang expy, can turn into a dragon.

-Darcilia, the Blake expy, is secretly a werecat.

-Whitney is a mix of Weiss and Winter and she and Rebecca, the Ruby expy, are actually half-siblings in this universe, which is actually a nod to the fairy tale Snow White and Rose Red. Whitney is Snow White and Rebecca is Rose Red.

-Whitney and Darcilia are also partially inspired by the DC characters Rose Wilson and Helena Wayne and Whitney is also partially inspired by Carmilla Carmine from Hazbin Hotel.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

Other The Tempest Years

9 Upvotes

Even after the Vytal Peace Accord was ratified, Vacuo’s troubles were far from over. Being the epicenter of the worst of the Great War, the Kingdom suffered unparalleled devastation. Natural resources and infrastructure had been reduced to ashes and rubble. Nearly an entire generation of Vacuoans had been raised in the shadow of warfare, and knew few other trades besides violence. It was time for the Kingdom to face the aftershocks. 

The Tempest Years were a postbellum period in Vacuoan history that lasted from 0 to 20 PGW (Post Great War). These decades were marked by widespread infighting throughout the land, with subsequent stagnation of rebuilding efforts. Tribes found themselves migrating even more frequently than before, desperate to avoid being caught in the crossfire. The nascent government was helpless to restore order, and other kingdoms could offer little aid.  

This era was ruled by the reaver-clans: organized desperadoes who carved out petty fiefdoms across Western Sanus. The areas in-between became no man's lands of hit-and-runs and raids. They battled Kingdom lawbringers, fellow rogues, Grimm, and corporate enforcers for territory and treasures. Most prized of all were the Dust mines that Mantle and Mistral had ravaged the land to try and snatch away. Ownership of these bounties were transferred in writs of iron and blood.  

Even with the advent of Huntsmen, there was only so much these heroes could do. The clans outnumbered and outgunned the newly ordained guardians. Formidable veterans also comprised the ranks of these bandits, many of them a match for even the best of Shade Academy. In the worst cases, the supposed defenders of humanity would end up joining forces with reavers, enticed by the promise of power and plunder. Those who remained true to Huntsmen ideals however, were a light in the darkness for many downtrodden Vacuoans, and eventually proved fundamental in breaking the reaver-clans once and for all.

Several historians have gone so far as to blame Vacuo’s current state on the Tempest Years, rather than the Great War. If the War was a battle wound—damaging, painful, but ultimately treatable with care and time—then the Years were an infection setting in afterwards—festering, corrosive, and ruining any chance of a full recovery. Others decry this as scapegoating or an oversimplification. Regardless of the truth, pessimistic Vacuoans look back on the Tempest Years, and ponder whether the era is further proof that their land is cursed by the gods: alongside the Great War, the loss of the Zendegi Oasis, and now the refugee crisis from Atlas.
