Team PVRL

"Our differences are what make us stronger."

PVRL (pronounced "Pearl") is a team of students at Beacon Academy existing in the RWBY Fanverse Argence. They are part of the academy's 84th generation during the golden age of Remnant. PVRL is comprised of Perseus Luselene, Verona Scarlett, Rivern Hawkins, and Lucia Silverwind. Together, they retrieved the Blue Bishop pieces in the Initiation Ceremony.

Team Members
Perseus Luselene


 * Perseus is a shy and unconfident leader who hopes that he can one day achieve something great. Coming from his own misery-filled past, he finds Beacon freeing and refreshing, hoping to make a good new life. Perseus acts as the innovative thinker and leader of PVRL. He prefers to avoid fighting, and acts instead as the defensive line and strategist of the team. Out of everyone in the team, he possesses the most calm demeanor, playing each scenario until the end. Though his insecurities leave him in the shadows of his teammates, Perseus' allies recognizes his role to become a great leader, growing at a marvelous pace alongside his team. His color is Obsidian.


 * Perseus' weapons are the Lunar Kites, two bladed chakrams which can spin and project powerful bursts of light. They can deflect most projectiles and have a myriad of uses, such as climbing steep surfaces, gliding on strong currents of wind, and blinding enemies.


 * His semblance is Moonsight, an unpredictable clairvoyance that gives him weak premonitions of the future. After his semblance evolves, he can meditate to gather more accurate and intentional visions, as well as gaining a brief 6th sense to danger.

Verona Scarlett


 * In hopes of being a successful Huntress, Verona likes to take command of situations and lead the charge. While her younger tomboy self still resides in her heart, she does her best to keep it hidden under the guise of polite gestures and orderly fashions. Verona supports the team as the commanding voice and secondary leader of the team. She attacks from afar with her arrows, striking down enemies and sending messages across great distances. Her strict scheduling and organizing keeps the team from falling apart, factoring in training times and ensuring that the team stays together to bond. Her calculating and record keeping help PVRL avoid many conflicts and keep them in balance. Her color is Vermilion.


 * Verona wields a large bow named Airgead Sciathán. It's geared nose allows a variety of arrowheads to be fixed to the arrows before they are shot. It also possesses a longbow form, increasing its range up to 3 times the original distance.


 * Verona's semblance is Iron Maiden, an ability that lets her temporarily turn parts of her body to strong steel.

Rivern Hawkins


 * Rivern is a confident ex-model in Vale and enjoys being showered with praise. Underneath, however, his insecurities often trouble him. Rivern carries the role of the team's powerhouse and representative. He can force many opponents to go on the defensive due to his incredible strength. Reputation, along with good looks, allows him to charm his way to nearly everyone's network, even his enemies. His vast array of connections from previous ventures gives the team a wide choice of resources and acquaintances. Likewise, he acts as PVRL's figurehead for the public eye. His color is Azure.


 * Rivern's weapon is the Brave Tempest, a mechanical poleax-scythe hybrid with an engine that absorbs wind and utilizes it to increase its strikes. Its secondary form is that of an airboard, giving him the ability to glide over any terrain with great speed.


 * His semblance is Windance, which allows him to temporarily interact with gases as if they were liquids or solids. With this, he can effectively walk on air or even fly.

Lucia Silverwind


 * Hailing from the noble White Tiger faunus lineage, Lucia is a force to both respect and fear. While she may bite at those she distrusts, Lucia has deep faith in the friends who have gained her trust. She comes in as PVRL's master duelist and elite fighter. By combining a flurry of quick attacks and ferocious blows, she can break through and take down enemy lines with ease. Her knowledge of the upper class allows her to educate her friends on the etiquette needed to avoid social embarrassment at large events. Lucia also acts as a bridge between the humans and Faunus to an extent, having experience on both sides of peace. Her excellent senses can often scout out danger, saving the team from perilous situations. Her color is Ivory.


 * Lucia's weapons are the Argent Howl and Carmine Roar, two gauntlets utilizing Dust and Aura to project weapons which slash, smash, and explode.


 * Her semblance, due to it's strange nature, is currently unknown. It allows her to temporarily project Aura into physical form.

Verse
"From obsidian forged the strongest stone, Will vermilion wings ascend alone, With azure winds of fortune's sorrow, Find ivory hope a bright tomorrow. ---"
