>A well intentioned, sophisticated extremist wielding a Not-Mosin-Nagant as an actual spear/rifle.

Even if he's a bit of an asshole, I like this guy. Also a throwback to my above comment about fans writing foils that surpass the canon material.

How does he justify not believing in Semblances? They seem to be a pretty common phenomenon.

Got a preferred example of Received Pronunciation?

>Even if he's a bit of an asshole, I like this guy. Also a throwback to my above comment about fans writing foils that surpass the canon material.

Thanks. I could imagine him being a foil to Blake herself, a worse version of S1 Weiss. And yes, he's designed to be an arsehole. An elitist, imperialistic one with nobility and class.

>How does he justify not believing in Semblances? They seem to be a pretty common phenomenon.

I think that's pretty much it: Semblances are so common to be called special. That, aside from the reasons he wrote out from his personal journal of everyday thoughts.

>Got a preferred example of Received Pronunciation?

Just think of the stereotypical upper-class Brit accent or Queen's English. That's all.

>>32406

Oh, oh. I thought you meant he literally didn't believe in them. Like that they didn't exist, like how there are atheists in Dungeons and Dragons in spite of gods just being casually around.

>>32407

>Oh, oh. I thought you meant he literally didn't believe in them.

A bit of A; A bit of B, actually. He doesn't believe in them both out of principle and massive amounts of skepticism. Besides, I did say that he doesn't even know he had one.

>His initial personality is me wanting to show more about the supposed discrimination in the world of Remnant, but from the side that's we're supposed to not root for.

You. I like you. I don't have much to say besides general praise, or things you covered with d348ef, though. Sorry.

if i split this up can i post

Adding something to this. His various throwing knives would be collectively called Thoth, after the god of writing and knowledge, and the Thoth Tarot deck. Also, each knife would have one bullet/dust crystal inside them, all of a different size. Okay it's part gun now, I didn't beef it. Unless they go back on their statement about how each weapon will double as a gun somehow. This was in the same interview that they jokingly mentioned a gun/gun hybrid, if that helps anyone find it. Also one of the NPTL members will fight with two handguns, called "a gun and another gun" because it's funny. Unless I should just save it for a shitpost team

Back on Perth though, I was thinking that he'd carry the knives around in an attache case. But then I had the idea that he would later carry them with a scarf he acquires via character development. I need second opinions, should the magnetic dancer lad keep Thoth in a case or a scarf?

>>32402

MY ENTIRE POST THAT I WROTE IN REPLY TO THIS IS GONE, GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I'M GONNA GO BITCH ABOUT THIS IN THE META THREAD, IN THE MEANTIME COOL CHARACTER DUDE, THOSE SPOILERS HAVE GOOD SHIT IN THEM, YOUR BACKSTORY IS 10/10 then again I'm not a good source for critique on displaced in time stories because those are cool, also I'm keeping Nyd's mortars fired artillery-style because it's fun to try to be original as possible, also THANKS DUDE, MILES AND KERRY ARE GONNA GET BRANDON FRAISER'D NOW

ALSO REEEEEEEEEEEE

Testing to see if thread is borked.

>>32509

Dunno how small these chunks need to be. Sorry if this turns into a mess.

>someone likes my character this much

ohgosh.jpg

Thanks dude, I appreciate it. Keeping in mind that this was going to be my entry for the create-a-character contest, the time-displacement plot was going to allow him to be a source of uncommon and suppressed information and opinions on what's going on in the world, more or less to act as a foil to the whole… implicitly left-leaning feel of everyone. His information should be uncomfortable but difficult to challenge.

He would give occasional history lessons (help the main cast understand the full context of the old war), bring them up to speed on holes in their overly formalized combat education ("Your homework tonight is to locate 5 bullet traps in the Atlesian Paladin's armor scheme. Anyone who can figure out how to overload its heat-sinks gets extra credit."), and generally be a source of practical know-how ( "Ruby, your cloak is going to be lace by the time we get there. Go buy needle and thread: you're learning maintenance tonight.")

He's also the elsewhere-mentioned Obi-Wan character to Ruby's Luke, specifically about the silver eyes.

OC: "[Ruby], there was nothing you could have done, had you been there. You would have been killed, too, and [Remnant] would now be in the hands of [Salem]."

Punished Rube: "I want to come with you to [Haven]. There is nothing here for me now. I want to learn the ways of the [Moon] and become a [Silver-Eyed Warrior] like my [Mother]."

I littered him up and down with plot hooks for almost every character, just to be able to shotgun pitch ideas for his involvement if he were selected. ( "I recognize Mr. Arc's sword, shield, and crest. From a long, long time ago. Where did he get them?") Kind of a shame. The one big thing I've never been able to determine about him is his side in the war. He would have fought on the pro-art side, but we don't know what kingdoms were on what side. I think we're supposed to assume that Mantle was likely on the no-art side, so I'd have to work up some kind of internal guerrilla resistance situation there if so. His skillset/weapon is ideal for that anyways, so it's no big deal, but I'd like to know one way or the other.

His current weapon/semblance is too crazy to explain, so I'm trying to draw a good picture of it instead of put it into words. But it would belong in a Platinum Games title.

His emblem is a highly stylized Schwarze Sonne.

>>32428

Some weapons aren't guns. Most of Team CRDL's aren't, plus Mr. Sword n' Board. You may be thinking of Sun's weapon, which was made as a joke because the Chinese word for staff is gun, and the word for nunchucks is gun-gun. So he wields gun-gun guns that combine into a gun.

Scarf is definitely more flashy, so I'd go with that unless you're going for a "chilled professional" look.

This glitch is killing me. I may just go to posting links to Pastebin at this rate.

>lose half of my post because the site is busted

Fuck this piece of shit site held together by duct tape.

>>32514

http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons#Trivia is my source on weapons that don't double as guns. I'm aware of Jaune, but I'm sure they'll pull something out of their asses, like the sheathe is secretly a gun. Or some shit I dunno.

>Scarf is definitely more flashy, so I'd go with that unless you're going for a "chilled professional" look.

Scarf it is! I guess I'll spoil Perth's arc: Any bit left of professional in him would be gone by the time he gets the scarf, which would be after the Fall of Beacon where he was knocked comatose. And Nyd would go AWOL, but I'm trying to figure the line between going nuclear and going Coldsteel, so I'm leaving that in the air. Point is, his brother's gone and he'd be desperate to have ANYTHING new to hold on to.

So when he ditches his family, blaming them for losing his brother, it's not too surprising that he'd ditch his usual case and give Thoth a new home in a scarf he gets as a gift or whatever. Plus he'd be trying to lay low so the case would give him away.

Whatever happened to this Anon?

>>32926

No, really. What happened to you, 3D anon?

I want to see a growing 3D community in the West for fan stuff. Japan is kicking our asses.

>>33646

I dig him.

>born in Atlas

Interesting. Pining for an idealized heritage?

FIRST FOUR REPLIES GET THEIR OCS IN A TEAM FOR A VISUAL NOVEL. YOU WANT TO BE A SECONDARY CHARACTER AT BEST, DON'T EVEN DENY.

>failed an indecipherable captcha before being able to make this post

ok

Not to be down on the idea. Just not exactly much of a contest.

>>33707

It may lure in some folks.

>>33685

Yeah, He grew up poor and respected the Atlas army and the way of life.

>>33706

Sure, I'll take it up, the Amaran Peru OC.

>>33839

Couple questions, actually.

Weapon specifics are important. He has a sword. He idealizes Atlas (Northern European), was raised in Vacuo (Middle Eastern?), but the image you posted implies a katana (Mistral = Asian?). What kind of sword? He dual-wields, so I presume it's a hand-and-a-half at largest, unless his cuhrayzee comes from oversized wielding. As for his .45, we talking automatic or revolver? Handguns seem to do fuck-all against anything but the smallest targets unless there's something special about them. Blake and Emerald, for example, never bother to fire as anything but a distraction against anything larger than a Beowolf. I probably wouldn't either, given how ineffective a "high-impact sniper rifle" is against many things. Ironwood just straight up fires grenades.

His weaknesses are interesting. How do Gravity dust and other semblances interfere with his ability?

Fairytale/theme?

>>33844

Once again, that's the closest I could find to what Amaran actually looks like. He has more or less an English type bastard sword. I'm sorry that confused you.

At first, I wanted him to have a .44 caliber Revolver, but however, it seems very impractical to fight with (even more so with the .45 pistol), so I changed it to a .45 semi-automatic.

His semblance is that he uses dust in a different way than normal, using fire dust to enhance his strength and Ice to use as a sort of body armor. His weakness to gravity dust is because his body can't really… metabolize it, I suppose. it's not that he's allergic to it, it's that it messes with his body too much to be effective like fire and ice. Some Semblances uses dust to enhance, and, if one is particularity skilled, could use the dust on Amaran's body (it'd be the ice dust), could use it to drain it, and him.

Theme itself is the Amaranth flower. Greek flower that grew on Olympus and never died. That's also why everything is also named after plants. Thorn the sword, Bramble the gun and Synthesis the semblance. Originally I had him to be Reverse-Yang, in which he can take more damage but couldn't dish it back out.

All these complicated, edgy OCs. And I'm over here with former White Fang courier with a 45-70 lever action great sword and a morphine addiction

>>34364

>Drug addiction

That's somebody's definition of edgy, anon. It is nice to have some characters keep it simple, though.

>>34364

>White Fang OC

That's pretty ballsy, not a lot of people really choose that faction.

>>34418

We all know the belladonna's aren't the only defectors. And huntsman OCs are by default trash.

>>34364

I'm honestly surprised that no one is discussing the 'courier' part of my OC

>>34424

I assume it's because of New Vegas?

>>34425

Yes, I can't fucking get New Vegas out of my head

>RWBY Savage Worlds ttrpg

>Name: Gray Shadow The Hedgehog

>Race: Faunus (Hedgehog)

>Shade Academy, Vacuo

>Team EGGS

A really fast hedgehog with an automatic rocket launcher, wears nothing but boots, gloves, a helmet and a white fang mask colored with permanent marker to hide the fact that he's actually a white fang member.

>>34427

Every time he hits something he has to scream about the Chaos Emeralds

>>34428

Is his Semblance teleportation? :^)

Ren's Semblance is Zen, the removal of one's person. Or as I like to call it, Nothing Personnel.

>>34430

Super Speed like Ruby, to go one step beyond.

He can catch speeding F1 cars if he has his semblance on and also uses ballistic movement

>>34426

it could be worst, it could be FO4 stuck in your head.

>>34423

So we have White Fang hit squads? He truly is the Courier.

>>34438

Not exactly. Merc and Em kill Tukson, a White Fang turncoat, at the beginning of Volume 2.

>>34418

We seem to be pretty comfortable being counterculture to the official narrative around here. (Who would have guessed?) We've got some people who never graduated combat school, a White Fang courier, and I sided with the Art Nazis.

I'm the anon who made this post: >>34504

Somebody here told me to talk about my character/story in this thread. Figured, why not? It's not entirely RWBY related. However, the absolutely god awful writing in V4 plus the fact that the show is slowly moving towards becoming another virtue-signaling piece of propaganda made me realize I could probably write a better story than the hacks at RT.

Well, the basic idea is that it's an urban fantasy story heavily inspired by my love of visual novels (especially Fate/Stay Night, which is my all-time favorite) and eroge, with a few touches of Jojo, High School DXD, among others. It concerns a pair of high school tomboyish girls who wake up in an abandoned mansion with no memory of how they got there, only to discover a bloodied, mangled body, and a humanoid aberration wielding a sword and a lance hell bent on leaving the two ladies in the same state as the corpse. Later on, they discover that they had somehow acquired the ability to use magic, and that mages are very much real and have existed since before the end of the "old world".

The story is set in a world not much different from our own which I really want to actually make it into the far future of our world after most of the population died as conflicts escalated, for which a group of mages were somehow responsible, preventing the creation of a New World Order where continental nations have ceased to exist, and most people live simpler lives in towns located within confederations of independent states. Society still contains some of our technology while having some of its own. I really want to expand upon how this world will play out, but I'm still not quite sure how I'll proceed, mostly because I'm not sure if it will tie into the plot nicely. I may drop a few hints to the reader here and there, but for now, I'm focusing on developing how magic works.

As for the main character which is really what I came to this thread for anyway, she's a high school student named Sami Silviya. Sami's an aloof girl with short, messy red hair, big tits who once had a penchant for brawling and even participated into local underground fighting competitions (held by an old bartender she's friends with), but quit her "career" once the number of opponents on her level began decreasing as she racked up more and more victories. She can be quite perceptive, but tends to focus too much on trying to put questions and mysteries in place inside her mind, which causes her to become a bit of a recluse. She still has a small social circle, however, mostly thanks to her best friend and the other girl caught up in the story, Selica "Wolfie" Rockshire, another tomboy who makes up for Sami's lack of energy with her own hijinks.

Her fighting experience usually helps a lot with the obstacles she faces over the course of the story, not only with helping her deal with her mastery of magic as her affinity towards specific elements and spells is directly connected to her history, personality, and fighting skills, but also with other deranged mages who seem to be popping up in town. Think of her as Kiryuu from Yakuza, only as a busty high school girl instead of a gruff ex-gangster. She basically fights much like him, only with a few bursts of magic here and there. I'm actually still trying to figure out what exactly her "affinity" is, that is, what kind of particular abilities she will have aside from just punching and kicking things really hard. But I'm also mostly writing from the seat of my pants, so I think I'll figure it out as I go.

(cont. because I'm a wordy faggot)

>>34523 (cont.)

Sami is also fiercely protective of those close to her, though she may not realize it at first until something truly terrible happens to a friend or loved one, mostly because of her reclusive tendencies. Still, a certains series of events happening to a few of her friends is what will eventually motivate her into looking into the town's mysteries, kicking off the second act of the story.

That is basically it. I have a general outline of how the plot will progress, but I'm mostly writing as I go. I've been cooking up this story in my mind for many years now, but it wasn't until I realized just how god awful RWBY was that I decided to actually sit down and start working on it. So, gotta give credit to Miles & Kerry for being so fucking bad at their jobs they kick a lazy bastard like me into action! Also, thanks to my love for eroge I kinda wanted to write ero scenes into the story, much like how you see in plot-heavy eroge… I was mostly inspired by the recent Minori games, which not only are heavy on plot, but also have some of the best ero-scenes you could see in a Japanese porn game today. Still, I'm still not sure how to implement that (I have a few male characters in mind, including a male lead), so depending on how it is, I might just scrap the idea. Still, I'm kind of writing this with a VN mentality, or rather imagining it could be one. As I said in the other thread, though, I don't have the manpower, skill, or money to make a VN, and my drawing skills are too shit, so I can't even include some light novel-style illustrations.

That's basically the gist of it. I hope to finish this story at least by the end of the year. I think it'll turn out longer than I'm imagining, but that doesn't really bother me. And of course, I'm leaving the (likely) first three chapters here if anyone's interested. I'm probably gonna post the story in a blog or something as I write it. Mind you, it's probably really fucking bad, but I did do some editing on chapter 1. Still, I'm proud of it.

Thanks, anons.

>>34525

It's well done. there's some format issues and some spelling stuff, but other than that. it's a ok.

it really threw me off that it's not based on RWBY, and I felt stupid when I realized that.

I also want to write, but I always feel like it'll be shit.

>>34538

Wow, thanks anon. Really means a lot to me someone checked it out. I sent it to a couple buddies of mine and they also like it, so I guess I'm on the right track. I'll just have to look through what I've written to correct whatever spelling or writing errors there are. The question is whether the plot and writing will remain good, but I guess things will sort themselves out.

Don't be afraid of getting into writing, anon. The first step is always the hardest. It took me some 5~4 years till I started actually sitting down, but it still happened, even if I thought the quality was terrible. I believe that one day you will answer your "call", so long as the desire is inside you.

I could always try and put Sami and co. in Remnant… Maybe have them kick some white fang ass. Or just getting along with the gang. Could be a side project to the main story.
