Talk:Semblances and your OC - A Guide/@comment-27926861-20160306155733

I've come up with my first oc team, but idk if it would fit exactly in the RWBY universe. Give advice on it as much as you want. -Also, the characters have two ages, depending on where I want to place them in the universe. younger age: much less experience, and are mentored by team RWBY and JNPR after Beacon is returned to normal. Older age: they've graduated from Beacon a year before RWBY started, and help the team bring back Beacon. please enjoy..

Name: Roy Pendragon (Male, based on King Arthur). Heritage: Vale.

Color: Red or Blue, maybe both? (red due to Roy means ‘red’ in ancient Gaelic, and blue for ‘Royal blue’.) Emblem: the red head of a dragon with a blue sword piercing through it from above. Appearance: 5”9 3/4. Medium dark-blue hair, purple eyes contacts with gray eyes within, and a scar tracing the left of his neck. He’s evenly built, not too buff but not too skinny. -He wears a red and black hoodie, the hood covered with fur. Dark blue circles appear on his gauntlets. His armor, blue, grey and gold colored, lies underneath his hoodie, and his left shoulder and the top of his arm is covered in a sort of arm shield. A belt keeps his pants up, where pouches cover his left and right sides. His pants are black, while armor the same color as his chest armor covers his knees, parts of his thighs and lower legs. Finally, he has gauntlets on his hands, though his fingers pop out. Age: 16 or 21

Personality: Usually calm and friendly, he loves making friends, and has a way of analyzing them fairly easily and to see if there’s something bothering them. -He’s a bit lazy, but he becomes the complete opposite when he wants to fight. He hates people who bully the weak, and will fling himself into a fight where he thinks an innocent, or friend, is in danger. He treats almost everyone equally (Humans the same as Fauns), though he’ll be more respectful to those who earned that respect. -He finds that helping his friends, defending the innocent, and making a difference in the world his life goals. This makes him a bit overprotective, though his skills with his sword are exceptional enough that people don’t mind much. -However, he is extremely shy when it comes to relationships. He rarely manages to tell a girl he likes her, even less to ask her out. He can talk pretty easily with them, though he can’t manage to ask them out. --Also, he often forgets stuff that’s he’s supposed to remember for a while, so he gets surprised sometimes when someone asks him about something in the near future. He becomes extremely heated when someone insults his parents or family, and can attack them if someone doesn’t stop him. All in all, he’s a good friend who’s shy when it comes to relationships, and an exceptional swordsman. Few know his history, or a secret he possesses… History: few know much about the Pendragon family, except some leaders, Ozpin, and the Ambrosius. In fact, Cyan and Magentus Pendragon were incomparable huntress(es), where they fended off hordes of Grimm’s and White Fangs with ease, to then disappear without a trace. They trained Roy to become a hunter like them, almost becoming one with his weapon. Sadly, his parents were murdered a few months after his 13th birthday. Clay and his parents took Roy under their wing, Clay almost becoming a cousin/uncle to Roy. At his 16th birthday, Ozpin allowed Roy and Clay to frequent the Academy, though also using him as a sort of secret agent to find enemies within the school. He and his group graduated from beacon a year before Ruby arrived at Beacon. Likes: Lavender. Semblance: a secret of his… He can manipulate the four magical elements, or Dust, (and its combinations), though most of the time without realizing it and at tiny doses. his semblance manifest only rarely, but he can manage to use it when he’s really concentrated. Small gusts of wind push the enemies sword (or whatever they’re using) slightly away from, either missing or weakening Magnus at a smaller amount. Small stones sometimes appear near the enemies’ foot, causing them to trip of fall, allowing Magnus a small advantage. His rocket explosions are be bigger and hotter, and he can cause his enemy to sweat quicker, causing them to be lightheaded and make mistakes. -As said before, his semblance is mainly used in tiny doses, so very few people know his semblance is actually active. however, when he gets pissed or Lavender gets hurt, a very big dose of his semblance is released, making him very dangerous to everyone around him. For his aura, it isn’t as strong as everyone else’s, but it still useful to block some attacks. That’s why he has armor underneath his hoodie.

Weapon melee form(s): a 5”4 Broadsword. It has a trigger (for range mode) and a red and blue button. The red causes the broadsword to split from the center, exposing the rocket ejector, while the blue makes the sword to fully split into two swords, the outer layer being fully sharp, and the inside only near the hilt. -Also, when he splits his sword into 2 (which is in extreme circumstances), he can use the somewhat dull side of the swords (where they split) and create sparks to ignite the rockets. Weapon ranged form(s): A gap opens between the two blades, and a small hole appears, when small rockets can be ejected from the hilt. Up to three rockets can be contained inside the hilt, which Magnus carries a small pouch where the rest of his rockets are placed (Covered in an anti-BOOM material, so they won’t blow up if someone slashes the pouch. Would be pretty embarrassing…). The rockets can be inserted into the hilt from the pommel, which tips off to let the rockets in. -When it dual mode, he can still eject a rocket, though he rubs the top of the inside of the blades, causing sparks, which ignites the rocket.

Weapon modifications(s): A bladed stick, which the red button is to now unsheathe the weapon. Weapon name(s): Excelion, or Twincalibur. Team: RGLA- Roy as leader. Strength (STR): 4 Agility (AGI): 3 Endurance (END): 4 Perception (PER): 4 Willpower (WIL): 3 Discipline (DIS): 3

Name: Gwen Simetra (Inspired by Artemis). Heritage: Vale, but lived in the Wilds till she was discovered. Color: whitish gold. Emblem: a white arrow with the point being a golden stag head. Appearance: 5”7. White hair with the tips golden, gold eyes. Wears short sleeved collar shirt, and two belts on her shoulders maintain her brown cape in place, the top being used as a green hoodie. Age: 17 or 22. Personality: quiet, rarely talks, but becomes very active and hyper when given chocolate. She’s usually the quiet type of person who talks only when they have something to say. She’s very good at disguising herself with her surroundings, making her very hard to find. She uses chocolate to make her more hyper to fight people with her axes, but she avoids the chocolate when she needs to shoot down.

History: Not much is known of Gwen`s past, for she doesn’t even remember much anyway. She was found living in the Wild, living off her bow. From her scarce memories, she’s been living there since she was a kid, but she doesn’t know how she ended there. Some people assume she’s a survivor of some group trying to create a town in the Wilds, but failed. A group of hunters found her at the age of 14, taking her in to see if wasn’t animal-like. They found her incredible aim and bow-skills, and asked Ozpin if he could bring her to Beacon Academy. Ozpin said he would when she would become more civilized, and older. 2 years later, she joined Beacon and became a member of team RGLA, or Regalia. Semblance: Her semblance allows her to have heat vision, allowing her to see hidden people. Her semblance drains her energy fairly fast, but she can use it in multiple times in short periods of times.

Weapon melee form(s): 2 short battle axes with a point in the back. Weapon ranged form(s): Turns into a bow when the axes are combined. Weapon name(s): Siren melodies. Strength (STR): 2 Agility (AGI): 5 Endurance (END): 3 Perception (PER): 3 Willpower (WIL): 4 Discipline (DIS): 4 Name: Lavender Ray (inspired on the titan Theia, the titan of light and mother of the moon and sun gods, Selene and Elios.) Heritage: Atlas (emigrated). Color: Purple (Lavender). Emblem: A lavender with a fist around it. Appearance: 5”6. Dark red eyes, long purple hair. A brownish-orange long sleeved shirt, a black shirt is visible from the center. She has a belt tying her shirt down, while the bottom covers her short shorts. From underneath her shirt her skirt pops out and cover the side and back of her thighs. From the knees down, her legs are covered with the bottom of brownish orange pants, her knees with steel. She has a sort of google glass on both of her eyes, boosting her eye sight and precision, while metal pods are attached to her ears, boosting them also. Age: 17 or 22. Personality: A bit wild, but in a good way. Her personality resembles a bit Yang`s, but she`s an addict in technology. History: Lavender was born in a medium class family, her father being a retired soldier turned boxer, and her mother a tech maniac in the Atlas military. She got both of their passions, creating herself her gauntlets. She joined Beacon after beating her way through the competition to join that Academy, where she joined team RGLA. she has a long rivalry with Winter Schnee, and the Schnees in general. Likes: Roy (couldn’t accept it at the start, but slowly gave up and went out with him). They have been dating since the second year if they are in their older age. Semblance: Light manipulation. She can conjure flashbangs using her right power glove, while she can temporarily black out a small area with her left, causing the person inside to be stuck in darkness. She can use these to confuse her enemies to then pop up and smash them. She can only hold the blackout for a short amount of time, for it tires her very quickly. Weapon melee form(s): two humongous glove gauntlets with blades on either side, and small blades on each knuckle. tasers lie in her palms, where she charges up every time she moves her arms. Weapon ranged form(s): the energy she uses in her arms charges her Tasers, which she uses to paralyze her enemies. She can also use her semblance as a long range attack.

Strength (STR): 5 Agility (AGI): 4 Endurance (END): 4 Perception (PER): 2 Willpower (WIL): 3 Discipline (DIS): 3 Name: Clay Ambrosius (Based on Merlin). Heritage: Vale. Color: Gray (CLAY) Emblem: a soaring falcon, Dust scattering behind it. Appearance: 6”1. Gray hair, dark blue eyes. Has a small gray beard, his hair falling in front of his eyes, but the back being a bit longer. The beard makes him look a lot older. dressed in a sort of black/gray wizard robe. Age: 18 or 23. (looks almost 30 with beard) Personality: calm, loves to make jokes and giving advice, History: As far as Clay remembers, his family and Roys’ were linked in some way. His parents had been the teachers and guardians of Roy`s parents, and that now he was the same to Roy, making sure the lad wouldn’t fall into utter trouble, or worse, end up like his parents. After the Pendragon murder, Roy joined Clay’s family, almost treating Clay as a bigger brother or even an uncle. Clay, however, takes Roy as his boss and little brother at the same time, but mostly boss due to Clay thinking he is almost Roy’s butler, which the latter refuses. When Clay was a child, he was a big fan of birds and had a pet falcon named Gust, which he took care a lot. Sadly, as Clay grew older, so did Gust. Gust soon fell ill, and Clay tried his best to cure the falcon. Sadly, he failed, and Gust passed on to the otherworld. Ever since, Clay remembers the bird, and named his staff after him. Clay becomes extremely picky when someone mistakes a bird for another bird. Semblance: Can amplify Dust or energy of himself and his allies, though in small doses. he can store his semblance energy in his necklace, allowing him to use that energy in emergencies. Weapon melee form(s): a staff, but the bottom is a bioplastic blade, which is just like steel, though it isn’t steel, and the top is a clawed mace, resembling a falcons talon. Weapon ranged form(s): the mace becomes a mortar for Dust manipulation, which Clay can use to shoot Dust mortars into the air. He can shoot around half a dozen in a Weapon name(s): The falcon staff.
