Team JCKL

'''Team JCKL (Jackal) is a work-in progress at the moment, and a part of my fan fiction for the RWBY Universe. I am currently only on Chapter 2 of the fiction, and I will try to release a chapter a week (like RT does with their videos). It will follow the path of the team on their adventures with brief debuts and mentions about the main characters in RWBY. However, like I said, these will be brief and they won't really add anything to the story. Just little nods here and there. Kind of like how "Death Troopers" was for Star Wars, except, you know, this is RWBY. '''

'''For originalities sake, you'll notice some things in my fan fiction that won't quite add up with the RWBY Universe. This is intentional. I can't copy every little piece of lore, now can I? Gotta add my own recipe to the family dinner, know what I mean?'''

The Leader
John Kellinger is a sixteen year old student attending Beacon Academy. His family line has attented Beacon since it was first created in Vale, and have fought against a rival family, the Callahans, just as long. Not much about John's past is known, and he usually doesn't like to share it. John only mentions his family history and traditions twice his entire time at Beacon, and even then, it was half-hearted. He is surprisingly outgoing, given his past, and will defend his friends with all his might.*

John has short black hair, with small strands sticking up (ignore the pink in his hair. This was an error in the color scheme. Currently, it can't be fixed). John's eyes are dark brown, and his usual attire consists of a blue vest with his silver armor strapped onto his shoulders. His whip is clipped to his waist on the right hand side, and he is capable of adapting quickly to any and all situations. Where he lacks in brute strength and training, his brain makes up for it. In short, he's smart, and he WILL find your weakness before YOU know what it is. He knows some defensive Martial Arts manuevers, taught to him by his friend Shao Lee, but in the end it proves more than useless against the Grimm.

His weapon, Alistair, is a Dust Powered Whip. Made of pure silver, with serrated chains wrapped around it, it packs a huge punch. He can control the whip with the Dust infused inside of it, and use it to swing faster and harder than normal human beings. The serrated chains are capable of ripping through bone, and tearing flesh off completely. His fighting style is geared more towards fighting multiple opponents, and striking many of them at once, instead of a singular opponent. Whips are generally used in long sweeping motions, and arcing throws, so one on one combat will be difficult.


 * This goes for all characters: until my fan fiction is released, I will refrain from putting major spoilers on this page. Many things are due to change, as well, considering how far I am into the plot.*

The Team
Cierra Tosh is a seventeen year old girl at Beacon Academy, and associated with Team JCKL. She is the first in her family to pursue the life of being a Huntress. Cierra has known John since they were small children, and formed a strong bond with him. She often tries to give advice to the group, but most of the time, her advice doesn't help. Cierra can be viewed as unreliable to outsiders of JCKL, but to John, she is his most trusted advisor. Even if her advice is bad. She has a soft demeanor, and rarely gets angry. Every person she meets ends up liking her in some way, and she can be very persuasive at times. This may be due to her Aura, which is the strongest out of JCKL.

Cierra has long brown hair and light brown eyes. She often wears a red jacket with a hood, and a chainmail vest over it. Her shorts are brown, and always has a white belt included. Her watch is broken, but she continues to wear it because it belonged to someone close to her. Her earrings are white pearls, and help her concentrate her Aura. Her weapon is a polearm named Phoenix, which can turn into a flamethrower. The metal is made up of steel components, with Dust on the inside that helps ignite the fire she uses to scorch her foes. She uses Phoenix as if it were a section of her arm, extending it to farther distances and twirling it around her body. She sometimes uses it to propel herself into the air, and then crashes it directly onto an opponents skull. Like John, she isn't all that capable in one on one combat, although she is a much deal greater at it than John is. She can even use Phoenix like a hook, latching the axe at the end of the pole onto tree branches and the like, using it as a form of rope to swing on.

'''Alright, everyone. That's all I have time for tonight. I hope you enjoyed reading what I have so far, and if you find it interesting, look forward to my fiction coming out 9/27 next week! I will continue the other two characters, Shao Lee and Kevin Aenex, tommorrow morning.'''
