Team CRVN

"Even apart in spirit, we stand together." CRVN (pronounced "Corvine") is a team of students at Beacon Academy existing in the RWBY Fanverse Argence. They are comprised of Celina Cavell, Aurelia Riore, Vesper Alice, and Nyx Astraea. Together, they retrieved the Violet Knight pieces in the Initiation Ceremony.

Members
Celina Cavell


 * Straightforward and ambitious to no end, Celina is CRVN's steadfast leader. Born into a family legacy she strives to fulfill, she realizes the world is much bigger than the one she reads about in her books. Celina's slicing strikes gracefully carve a path forwards. Her color is Celeste Blue.

Aurelia Riore


 * As kind as she is cheery, Aurelia takes the role of the team's caretaker. Motherly and gentle, she keeps a bright eye on the events surrounding her friends, always concerned for their wellbeing. Aurelia's healing aura helps keeps her allies healthy and warm. Her color is Saffron Yellow.

Vesper Alice


 * Capable through action and distant in personality, Vesper's bite is as hard as her bark. Despite all her dissidence towards the team, Vesper tries to support them in her own way. Vesper's blitz attacks and blinding speed take down opposition before they can react. Her color is Nacarat Orange.

Nyx Astraea


 * Peculiar to the point of wonder, Nyx's strange habits are both oddly attracting and repulsive. Though she keeps her own distance to pursue her own interest, she'll never be absent when the team needs her. Nyx's ranged abilities assail targets from a distance. Her color is Eminence Purple.

Overview
The team suffers from a heavy sense of diversity amongst its prideful members. Despite their partnership, each individual possesses a strong identity that refuses to bend to another.

Despite all their friction, CRVN's might becomes more than just a sum of its parts.

History
The four members initially first met at Beacon Academy prior to the initiation itself. While waiting to enter the auditorium for commencement, Celina found a Nyx's unlabelled bag of Burning Pepper Choco Rocks lying on the ground. A fan of candy herself, Celina popped one in her mouth, instantly regreting her decision and choking. Stumbling about in panic, she collided with Vesper, sparking a fight. Just before breaking into a full-on fight, Professor Gingerman was able to quell the situation, herding the students into the hall for Headmaster Ozpin's speech.

In the events of the Initiation's launching, Celina, Aurelia, and Vesper were all fired from the same location. Nyx had been launched from a different division, but became lost due to the blinding of her landing strategy. Aurelia found herself at the mercy of an Ursa, with Celina timely arriving to save her. Formally introducing themselves to one another, they headed forwards together. At the same time, Vesper found herself surrounded by a black mist, revealing itself to be the work of Nyx making an unnecessarily flashy entrance. Much to her chagrin, they were now partners set in stone and proceeded onward.

The four of them managed to arrive at the Abandoned Temple without meeting anyone else along the way. However, the actions of another student lost in the forest set off vibrations to an Arachnea web. The swarm cornered the four girls and chased them downside a cliff deeper into the Emerald Forest. Utilizing their own skills, they began to clear the swarms of Arachnea Minors. Nearly in the clear, their temporary respite was interrupted by an Arachnea major. The four attempted to fight it individually, but were quickly beaten down on their own. Celina was knocked aside defending herself, crashing into a tree and breaking an arm and spraining her leg. Weakened and struggling, the four decided on a plan to take down their predator. Vesper and Nyx agreed to stall the beast while Aurelia went to heal Celina's injury. After recovering enough to reach fighting condition, Celina coordinated the team's efforts. Aurelia guided the Arachnea's movements with her fire, forcing it into a clearing. Stalling for time, Nyx then sent out her semblance to hold down the Arachnea's legs. At the same time, Vesper had been charging Celina up with her aura in order to apparate her. With Vesper sending her far up above the clearing, Celina shifted her weapon into its guillotine form and bisected the beast, killing it.

The battle left Nyx fast asleep from overusing her semblance, and Celina immobile after the adrenaline rush ended. Vesper and Aurelia were left to piggyback Nyx and Celina respectively back up the cliff. By the time they had arrived, the sun was already setting and only two of the original ten pieces remained. Grabbing the Violet Knight pieces, they stumbled back, completing the initiation.

...

Having now passed the Team Round of the Vytal Festival without a problem, the team was left to decide on their two members to progress in the Double's Round. With Celina's battle skill, Aurelia's wide utility, Vesper's unmatched agility, and Nyx's versatile abilities, they were left at a standstill. Creating double combinations, both Celina and Vesper refused to work with one another. Unable to come to an acceptable consensus by the time of submission, Celina and Vesper began to argue while Aurelia attempted to cease the conflict. Meanwhile, Nyx silently drew all pairs into a hat and randomly picked one, submitting it to the tournament staff. As luck would have it, Celina and Vesper went on.

The arguing duo were matched against the twin fox faunus siblings Raja and Saige, who quickly took control of the battle with their speedy cooperation attacks. At some point in the match, Celina and Vesper began to obstruct each other more than their opponents had been doing. Finally agreeing to disagree, they settled with dividing the siblings up, taking each of them one on one while simultaneously preventing them from reuniting on the battlefield. Powerful enough on their own, Celina and Vesper proved victorious.

Combat

 * Twin Crescent (Celina + Vesper) - An offensive combination attack of strikes and slashes for damage. Celina and Vesper use their speed for a fast alternating barrage of attacks coming at different angles.
 * New Moon (Celina + Nyx) - A duo maneuver to restrain the senses and disorient opponents. The two use their semblances in tandem to completely block out all light in an area, creating an arena of pitch black.
 * Eventide (Vesper + Nyx) - An offensive standard combination attack taking advantage of the elements of surprise and speed. Nyx creates clouds of her Night Veil to mask the movements of Vesper teleporting with Apparitia in a blitz attack.

Verse
"From heaven born and full moon's rise, Dawns of gold shall wake the skies, Of mournful evenings cold disgrace, In night's eternal warm embrace."
