LOCKJAW

Real Name Unknown

[SIZE= 12px]Explanation:[/SIZE]

[SIZE= 12px]Lockjaw can be explained very easily, extremely intimidating. Coming in at a whopping 6'8" this massive beast of a middle aged man is not a force to be reckoned with. Wearing a signature massive ~~cyan captains coat~~ and a slicked back hairstyle. Sporting his wounds with pride endless ranks of scars gleam on his arms, chest and face including the worst scar ever. After leaving ~~Beacon Academy~~ and becoming a ~~hunter~~ he eventually went missing only to be found far later a giant pair of metal sabertooth teeth melded to his face along with massive robotic moose antlers and robotic metal claws melted into his hands. This was about ~~20 to 15 years~~ prior to the team coming to be, he went on a rampage for years killing government officials and destroying facilities. No one knew his true objective. But one day an odd government official caught him named ~~Carmine~~. He was wiped off the face of the earth for a while. ~~Till he was needed again it seemed~~. One day he ~~escaped~~ the government and went off the grid. Never to be seen again. But now reports are coming in that he is back, and that he is just destroying things and people for the fun of it. Why is he doing this and how do you stop a man that not even highly trained hunters and huntresses could not stop. Nothing is known about Lockjaw right now but as information is gathered more info will be added. This is all the headmaster said about him to the news, well almost everything, he left out all the crossed out stuff.[/SIZE]

Greta Hideyoshi Saizo

(alt-side character)

Name: Greta Hideyoshi Saizo

Color: Dark Grey

Name/Color relevance: As a ninja, Greta often "hides" in the shadows

Nickname*: (decided in rp)

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Race: Faunus (Panther)

Faunus characteristics:

Height: 4'9''
Hair: Long dark-blue hair, usually tied in an upper pony tail.

Sexuality: Unknown currently

Weapon: As a ninja, Greta employs many different weapons, from ninja stars, to smoke bombs, to tiny daggers, and even at times brandishing brass knuckles. However, her main weapon of choice is a nasty, distasteful chain-whip that can form back into a long-spear, which is primarily wielded by her tail named 'Sasuke'.

Semblance: "Shadow-struct": Greta has the ability to create barriers and objects out of shadows.

Emblem: "Shadow Strike"

Hunter/Huntress: Ninja to Huntress

From what area do you reside*: Possibly from Mistral, now Vale

Personality: During combat, Greta's ninja instincts meld with her panther-Faunus instincts, making her a savage and sadistic killer. In fact, she largely acts this way. Aloof, and calculating, with a mix of snark, and snide, Greta is confident to the core. Outside of her comfort zone is another story. She is easily distracted, and embarrasses at even the slightest things. Especially if someone is able to grab a hold of her tail, in which case she generally just melts. Greta acts tough, and dark, even clever, but in actuality, is misguided, and hopeless. 'Cute' controls her, and even though she's a 'panther-Faunus', her kitty instincts tend to take over. Such as the fact she tends to add "mew" after everything she says.

Nonethless, Greta isn't a perfect little kitty; underneath it all, she is a tortured, turbulent soul. Wrath and rage, boiling, ready to explode outward in a violent and dangerous maelstrom of grief and pain.

Likes*: Cute things, being petted (especially on her tail!), combat, intimidating others

Dislikes*: Cute things, being petted (especially on her tail!), failing to intimidate others, being embarrassed

Skills: As a ninja, Greta is quite skilled in acrobatics and evade tactics. Her maneuverability is further enhanced by her cat-like reflexes. Even her nails and teeth can be weapons. She is proficient with ninja tools such as ninja stars, and smoke bombs, and she wields Sasuke with deadly accuracy. Another thing about Greta, is she loves fighting in the shadows, or in the dark (especially the dark!), as a Faunus, she can see in the dark, and she loves taking advantage of that fact.

Weaknesses: Greta has a single crippling weakness. She absolutely melts when someone grabs her tail, and begins to pet it. She will collapse when that happens. She is also weak to cute things in general, and has trouble fighting an enemy if they're being cute. She is also easily distracted, and embarrassed. Her attention falters when she's embarrassed.

History:

Greta's origins are shrouded in mystery, like much about her. Born to a loving Faunus couple, it appeared as if she would have a lovely childhood. However, prejudice was too great. In a terrible incident, people attacked the small Faunus community, leaving none alive. Just a kitten at the time, Greta was barely spared, and given to foster parents. At a very young age, she inevitably found out what had happened their differences too great. Running away from her foster home, as her new 'parents' were humans, she sought somewhere to be accepted. She could not stay there, not with the humans that had taken her real parents from her. With the pain of unjust murder fresh in her mind, Greta's mind began to warp, to shape into something wrathful. Vowing vengeance, she would return.

Struggling so young, out on her own, she stumbled through the woods, lost. By miracle she was found, and indoctrinated into a small tight-knit group of ninja.

Disciplined, and molded, Greta was a new person. Not anymore accepting than she had before, instead her mind-set was altered, with her anger, and pain locked away in her heart. Seeing her age, her new ninja brethren debated what to do with her. Realizing that they were almost as terrible as the people that had set the girl on such a dark path, they resolved to give her a better, brighter future. Mind-distorted, they dropped her off at Beacon when she came of that age, hoping she would use her new skills as a Huntress for good.

Relationships*: (decided in rp)

Looks: Greta has long, wild dark-blue hair, usually held upright in a ponytail. Her primary garb is a dark ninja outfit, which helps her both move quickly, and hide in the shadows. She has a relatively short stature, and can seem un-imposing, but when shes going all feral on you, you know you're in for a tough time. Her Faunus traits tend to be more subdued, when shes not aggressive. Primarily her tail, which she keeps hidden for a surprise factor. Her tail is surprisingly strong, and will often in combat reveal itself, and wield her weapon Sasuke, freeing up her hands. Greta's eyes are a piercing shade of red, and glow brightly when she's in a combatitive mood. (Which tends to be often.) Despite all this, Greta is often seen as adorable, or charming. Her short stature, and Faunus characteristics make her quiet the sought after little kitty.

Inspiration: Loosely based on a gender-bent version of Kirigakure Saizo. Kirigakure literally means "hiddent mist", of which Greta often attacks from shadows, and smoke, and mists. A ninja who is said to be "careless", in contradiction Saizo was often referred to as calm, cool, and elegant, who was rumored to be handsome and feminine.

MIST

[SIZE= 12px]The name given to the thing wandering around outside the wall. No one has been able to see it nor tell the tale when they did meet face to face with it. Most come back super injured and unable to speak. No one knows what it fights like other then it uses guerrilla tactics and constantly attacks and vanishes into the deep fog. It is found around the entrances to the underground city, anyone who dare sets foot near them is brutally attacked at night. And you know when it is coming,fog rolls in and a loud noise can be heard, like a something is dragging across the ground. Other then that no one has gotten information on Mist. Most say it is a ghost because of its milky color but Flint does not believe in ghosts. One thing that has been noted is the thing does not kill the hunters. It also is not seen by the grimm, that or they don't care about it.[/SIZE]

CARMINE FALCONE

Explanation:

[SIZE= 12px]To start off, he does not dress like that for the most part, he normally dresses like that of a human monokuma. Half his clothes are one color and have a different style while the other are the opposite color and have a different style. Normally one half is a suit and tho other is that of shorts and a tee shirt. He is really odd. He is a high ranking government official of Atlas. He can be seen around Vale sometimes when he needs to talk to Flint. Most kids stray away from him because he is really creepy, and not only that he is not very nice. His face does indeed look like that however and he is a fox faunus also, he had some sort of accident that messed up his cheeks. Carmine is forced to smile forever as he calls it which gives him a creepy vibe, not only that but he tends to have a bit disturbing smile on him regardless of the physical wounds. And it is not even a nice smile, it looks like one of pure evil, like he is deceiving you with every word he spits out. But then again most don't like him because he is in the government and they tend to get bad rep. Most are corrupt and he is considered to be no exception even though nothing has been found on him. Whenever fights break out he just watches and no one has seen his weapon, plus it is generally hard to hit him because he has some sort of disease that made it so he stopped growing and looks like a child hence why I said it is really hard to hit him, he is the height of a child. But don't let that fool you, this man is no child. Something is wrong with him whether he shows it or not, he is not to be trusted.[/SIZE]

Varien watched as Lilla made her way down to join him. Turning to Nero, he gestured for him to leave. After he was gone, only Eiole remained. He wasn't paying attention however as he was absorbed in something on his scroll. "So," He began. ",why didn't you use your semblance?" Varien asked. It was a very combat-oriented one that would most certainly have made the fight much quicker. "Don't bother lying either, I've been at this long enough to know when someone isnt telling the truth."

A two-faced head with thoughts swirling together that can be found on the back of her lab coat.

Profession:
A licensed psychologist that mainly focuses on the cognitive and psychoanalytic perspective, though doesn’t restrict her methods despite that.

Personality:
Doctor Asch is a charming yet job-centered individual who intentionally keeps herself mysterious. If you ask her a question about herself, the conversation will end up being one about you. She’d find out all the facts about you and you would still know nothing, just that she’s incredibly skilled at her occupation. Learning about others is her favorite thing to do, and thus she uses everything in her skillset to just that.

Theme:

Thalia_Neko · Jun 13, 2017

Name: Onix (Skye)

Color: Black
Name/Color Relevance: It's pretty obvious. He has black wings, and he is a dark, treacherous individual.
Nickname*: Oni

Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 6'0''
Hair: onyx black, short and coarse, styled crudely, with a shine to it
Sexuality: straight

Race: Faunus (part-Raven and part-Snake)
Faunus Characteristics: His prominent black wings. But he also has a forked tongue fangs, and some scales.

Weapon: Last Bite
A pair of pistols, with detachable and retractable blades. That when they are placed together, fit and form to create a lengthy longsword, which after a few shifts, becomes a rifle.

Semblance: Venom Curse
Onix's Semblance seeps into his opponent when he lands a strike. To put it simply, it corrupts their Aura, quickly burning it away. To elaborate, he attacks their Aura through their mind. When this happens he makes people day-dream up previous nightmares. That are a combination of past failures, fears, and horrors combined together. It is this that when his opponents focus on these hallucinations, that it burns through their Aura as a latent defense mechanism. -That's how it is supposed to work anyway. If his opponent realizes what they're seeing is some sort of nightmare then they can combat the effects and nullify or slow the burn on their Aura.

Emblem: Devious Snake

Hunter/Huntress: Hunter
From what area do you reside*: Atlas

Personality:
Onix is not a nice dude. When he was young, he had a pretty traumatic experience, forever altering his personality. Even so, he's been with the White Fang since he was a babe. Learning everything he knows in their twisted organization. Ever since that experience he's let their doctrines really seep into his mind. And he was never the most mentally stable Faunus. He's since become even broodier, darker, and far more duplicitous. He has a sly, smarmy side to him, too. He is wry with a wicked sense of humor, employing sarcasm and a mocking attitude in common interaction. He is well guarded, with perhaps a thornier wall than even Skye has.

Likes*: Fighting, Strength, Force, the White Fang, Skye (secretly, kept even from himself)
Dislikes*: Desertion from the White Fang, Weakness, remembering his own past, humans
Skills: He is quite a skilled fighter. Flight. His Semblance tends to end opponents rather quickly. He is very adept of Aura and Semblance control.
Weaknesses: He is extremely arrogant, overestimating his own abilities and underestimating others constantly. Doesn't work well with people outside of the White Fang.

Looks:
The tattoos about Onix's body are requested by him all the time. They are meant to invoke the Grimm the White Fang regularly uses as imagery to scare and attack humans. He gets the tattoos on places of his body where he has scales, to cover up his Faunus heritage. Well, it would work, if not for the gross pair of dominant black wings growing conspicuously out of his back. His tattoos glow when he makes use of his Semblance as he channels his Aura.

History:

Stop right here if you don't want to be spoiled about Skye's past.

Onix is a shadow from Skye's past. At some point, when the two were very young, and in a White Fang raid, Onix became cornered. He was about to be killed. Skye saved him by murdering the human that would've killed him. There was a .. thing between the two. That a young Skye thought maybe might grow into something more in the future. However, after murdering for him and the White Fang, her outlook quickly skewed. The two were forever changed, with Skye changed completely, leaving Onix behind and deserting the White Fang for good.

Onix 'followed' in her footsteps, sorta. He joined Atlas Academies like she did. Where he would find himself finally on a team of 4 in Atlas's Huntress/Hunter training school. Eventually, that means he would have to fight in the Vytal Tournament. However, unlike Skye, he is wholly loyal to the White Fang, hating Atlas and the humans around him with a passion.

Unbeknownst to Skye, Onix is her half-brother on her father's side. He cheated on Skye's mother with the female leader of the White Fang, making Onix her half-brother and an heir of the White Fang's leadership. Neither knew before, but Onix knows now. Especially since he's recently (several years ago) grown wings to 'match' Skye's. He actually possesses two Faunus traits, from his two parents.

Relationships*:

He is Skye's half-brother, but was her first crush.

He is on a Atlas team fighting in the Vytal Tournament.

Jade Grove

Color Reference: Grove relates to a Grove. Woah.

Color: Bright Green
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6
Sexuality: Whoever, whenever

Hair: Jade has fairly short hair, which is mostly hidden under her hat though some does reach down to her neck. It holds a healthy sheen and is well kept, often glistening in the sun.

Race: Human

Weapon: Long Claws
Two deadly blades attached to a long chain, Jade is able to wield this unconventional weapon to deadly effect, creating a veritable storm of steel as the blades are whipped about her at incredible speeds. Her strength, speed and skill in close combat all add up to this being a horrific and deadly weapon to come up against. Unlike most weapons nowadays it has no long range weapons, having instead ludicrous reach. Besides, she enjoys taking the kill up close.

Semblance: Primal Fury
Jade is strongly connected to nature, and through her semblance calls upon the raw brutality of its inhabitants. She is able to call upon the strength of the wolf, bear, boar and panther, and through this rend her enemies apart. While a simple semblance, when combined with her skill at arms and fatal weapon, it is a devastating combination that would be a challenge to any who dared face the sweet, savage girl. This semblance does have a draw back however, for the longer she uses it, the more savage she gets, and while this means increased strength, it also means less tactical thinking and reckless assaults. A double edged sword to be sure.

Emblem: The Blooded Wolf

Occupation: Huntress
Residence: Mistral

Personality: While seeming to be a sweet girl, Jade is a blood seeking predator through and through, more interested in using and fighting people rather than talking and forming bonds. She believes strongly in 'Survival of the Fittest', and seeks to prove herself to show that she is the fittest, the strongest, and deadliest among the Huntsman of Remnant. She enjoys toying with people's emotions, and has no problem digging up some dirt on opponents and throwing it in their face to cause emotional turmoil, if only to get an upper hand in the fight. A dangerous person, and one who enjoys worming her way into people's lives to ruin them, and the victim realizing her true intent often far to late.

Likes: Strength, survival, victory, battle, hunting
Dislikes: Compassion, honesty, weakness, defeat
Skills: Deadly close combatant. When used in conjunction with her semblance, few can stand before her. Jade would claim none can.
Weaknesses: When using her semblance she can go completely savage, unable of complicated maneuvers or tactics.While still dangerous, she can be put down.

History:

Jade is a girl with deep connections to Olivia’s past, and is in fact not only a Dryade herself, but her twin sister. Unknown to her, Jade was taken by her father Maltal after a rather violent falling out with their mother Emerald due to horrifically differing ideological views that finally boiled over as they argued about how to raise their children.

While Olivia was raised to be brave, caring and selfless, Jade was raised to be ruthless, selfish and strong. Raised to believe that survival of the fittest was the only way for humanity to survive, she was brought up within the terrorist organization known as the Blooded Pack. She was made to train as a huntress so that she could strengthen herself, and prove herself stronger than others. Though her father was leader, he would not let any who were weak to stay in the ‘family’, even his daughter.

Now she has come to prove herself in the Vytal tournament, to prove she is stronger than any there. What she wasn’t expecting, was to come across a girl his father had been hunting for her entire life. Someone who’s head would make a lovely present for the Dread Wolf when she came home.

Relationships: WIP

Danchou Tsubomi · Jun 15, 2017

Notes:
1. Only one of them is going to be in the tournament. Just thought it'd save space/time to put both of the sheets here.
2. While they bear the Murakami last name, Natsuki's father does not consider them as real Murakami's.
3. One of Mr. Murakami's younger brothers is the father of these two. Since his brother is not even close to being the eldest, the Murakami family does not watch his family as much and is generally ignored for being a side branch, though they tend to attract a lot of media attention throughout Atlas despite the rest of the family acting like they don't exist.

"You are the only thing in life that you can control.
Don’t give in to life – let life give in to you!”
Nigatsu Murakami

Color:
A shade of blue just as cool as February – “Nigatsu”.

Age:
18

Gender:
Female

Sexuality:
Nope

Weapons:

Sunō (snowfall, gun-sheath’s name)
Fuyu (winter, katana’s name)

Semblance:
Will put soon, need to see if all's good, though.

Emblem:

A closed enso.

Personality:
Despite having a cool month as her namesake, Nigatsu is passionate and, to a degree, hot-blooded. You can tell someone has been watching too much shounen. While she is not controlled by her emotions, she is not afraid to show them, and tends to be honest, if not plain out blunt. Though she has some elements of formality, her tactness can be a jarring contradiction to Natsuki's constant dishonesty. She likes to try and motivate others and is certainly not as serious as she looks. Nigatsu is a relatively cheerful person and likes to help others out, but is in no way a pushover. The difference in confidence and overall personality compared to Natsuki is likely due to the difference in childhood…

Likes:
+ Analogies
+ Anime (who do you think introduced this garbage to Natsuki? Certainly not her parents…)
+ Combat
+ Confidence
+ Effiency

Dislikes:
- Having her cousin or brother insulted
- Having her right arm get touched/hurt
- Seeing people put themselves down

-

“…’All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances.’”
Kisaragi “Niko” Murakami

Color:
A dull blue, one that looks like it has faded from the years. An older name for “February” – traditional instead of modern.

Age:
19

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
Heterosexual

Weapon:
“Why don’t you guess?”

Semblance:
“It’s something creative. I think it’s more interesting for you to not know…”

Emblem:

Nine fox tails. Found on the back of his kimono like Natsuki.

Personality:
Kisaragi is actually quite the jokester, taking advantage of the serious appearance of Murakamis for pranks or jokes. His sense of humor is very facetious and he will often pretend to be offended at something…only to reveal that he really didn’t care and just enjoyed messing with whoever he talked to. Very mischevious, you can always be sure to be unsure of what will happen next with this strange person. Sometimes his jokes can cross the line and he won't see how/refuses to see how, stating that people shouldn't be so serious and see that he's simple joking. Whether or not that is true really depends....

Likes:
+ Any sense of humor
+ Adaptability
+ Books
+ Dance
+ Theater

Dislikes:
- Combat
- Predictability
- Rigidness
- Takings things too seriously

Asis Sunweaver

"The gods still watch over the children of Remnant. I am but an instrument of their will."

Color: A golden yellow, shining like the sun. In her tribe, such a color is attributed to Rahan, the Sun god.

Age: 17

Race: TBD

Height: 5'8

Weight 144 lbs

Sexuality: "I love whoever my heart desires."

Weapons:
El'nar, The Flame

Twin daggers that are considered to be ancient, these weapons are said to have been gifts from the sun god Rahan himself to his champion.

Her speed and strength make her fearsome with these weapons, and if allowed to close the distance is a nightmare to behold.

Even at range however, her enemies aren't safe, as her daggers can double as pistols, shooting out concentrated beams of light, able to pierce through Aura and hide alike.

Olivier Viridian
Inmate at Atlas Mid-Security Prison

Oliver, despite having been imprisoned four years ago, never abandoned his schooling. He was given very special attention due to his young age at the beginning of his sentence, namely a personal teacher, and a cell separate from the other inmates. Technically, his schooling was courtesy of BLANK academy, who paid the teacher, but that was never important. Since he spent every day schooling twice as long as a normal kid, Olivier 'graduated' at age 15. After that, he was put among the rest of the inmates, where he was treated like the filth he was imprisoned with. It disgusted him. He didn't get a taste of traditional schooling again until he was of age to start his next set of lessons with a teacher from BLANK, at 17, this time with a real purpose. He would be allowed to attend the Vytal Festival at Beacon Academy.

((The BLANK text will be replaced when it's decided which school he will be with))

My Vytal festival contribution, from Haven:

LILAC LEGRAND
reverberating goddess

ID
NAME Lilac Legrand
AGE 15
RACE Human

COMBAT
WEAPON // RECOMBINANT BALLISTIC MALLET PAIR "PERDUS ET TROUVES" Perdus refers to Lilac's riot shotgun, and Trouves refers to her sidearm, a high-caliber pistol. When they combine, they fold into a mallet that stands a little taller than Lilac. All forms of this weapon can be loaded with dust, Lilac's favorites being metal and wind due to their relatively predictable nature.
SEMBLANCE // DIALS Lilac is able to manipulate the properties of sound - volume, echo, reverb, where it appears to be coming from. Her favorite effects include masking her presence by sound illusions, and pumping up the volume for damage.
FIGHTING STYLE // AMETHYST AEGIS Lilac plans for every battle she can (going as far to have a generic strategy for surprise encounters), but has an absurd amount of contingencies, which funnily enough make people think she makes everything up on the fly. A constant, though, is that she prefers to take a support role in combat, covering for teammates and taking out supports and flanks so that others may take care of the main threats.

LOOKS
HEIGHT 5'0''
BUILD Busty, but also petite with a narrow frame.
HAIR Silver-blonde; knee-length in soft waves; worn loose
EYES Violet; hooded and large; always intent upon something and focused tightly
SKIN Very pale; has no residual blush, but when she does blush, it's all over her face and very pink
EMBLEM Located on each of her headphones.

DETAILS
HOMETOWN Morel
SCHOOL Haven Academy
MANNERISMS Speaking with a French accent. Focusing with such extreme intensity that it's hard to pry her away from her current task unless her life depends on it. Speaking in short sentences. Adjusting the dials on her headphones.
LIKES Milk tea, sourdough bread, sculpting, new military technology, reading about strategy, getting the bull's eye shot, the texture of fresh grass, the sound of the piano
DISLIKES Green vegetables, public speaking, robots, surprise changes of plan

PERSONAL
Lilac is a soft-spoken girl who is good at making plans, following rules, and using all manner of firearms. She feels a deep loyalty to her family, and is torn apart inside every time her sisters fight. After Lupine went to Atlas and Orchid went to Beacon, Lilac decided to study at Haven due its unconventional approach to learning and the beautiful surrounding views, and because she was very interested in improving her marksmanship and "being strong like [her] family".

TEAM TRAK - Vacuo

Name: Kira Altis

Age: 18

Race: Fanus (Tiger)

Current residence: Shade Academy - Vacuo

Gender: Female

Weapon:

Tempest
A pair of dual barreled revolvers that fire dust-laced casings. They both have a knife attached to the bottom rail in case Kira ever has to enter melee combat.

Blanche
The gauntlet worn on Kira's left arm is a retractable gauntlet designed to function as a taser weapon with varying degrees of voltage. Capable of sending currents strong enough to shatter stone, and when equipped with electric dust casings, it is capable of sending an eruption of lighting towards the enemy.In its retracted state, the weapon serves as a protective gauntlet. When activated, a handle swivels into the wearer's hand and further activation extracts the gauntlet's twin-prongs.

Noire
The Gauntlet on her right arm. It is a dual barreled multi-functioning weapon. It can fire both regular and dust laced ammunition. It can switch from single,burst,automatic firing modes, and serves as a mid-range marksman gun. It comes with a grappling hook that can be deployed at the centre, in between the two barrels which also shoots out electric currents to electrocute the enemy, or used to maneuver around.

Semblance: Marksman
Using her aura, she can double her accuracy and rate of fire on her weapons, heightening her sense of her surrounding, and works with her holographic sights for automatic targeting.

Skills:
- Mechanic. She designs her weapons and frequently upgrades them.
- Sharp shooting. When it comes to accuracy, Kira is an expert
- Agility from her tiger genome

Weakness:
- Not enough experience in real combat
- close quarters combat. Still learning. She got some basic tips from Asuka but other than that, she really hasn't expanded her skills.
- She's not the strongest. So it's easy to toss her around

She and Asuka have been the best of friends since their childhood. Seeing how determined Asuka was in getting stronger, and her drive to become a huntress, motivated her into following her friend's footsteps. Though, she lacks many of the skills to becoming an effective fighter, she still continues to try and improve every day. Before leaving, she decided to ask Asuka to train her a bit, although not being as apex as Asuka is, she still challenged herself, even learning a few tips and a couple skills along the way. She looks up to Asuka for her calm, and collective demeanor on and off the battlefield. A goal of hers is to one day challenge her best friend into a fight, and hopefully win.

Name: Isolda Skadi

Color: A mix of Blue and White
Name/Color Relevance: Name means Ice, which is pretty obvious what that relevance is, and the colors it invokes.
Nickname*:

Age: 16
Gender: Female
Height: 5'4''
Hair: Isolda's hair is as white as the color her name dutifully invokes. A crisp white found not even on the oldest of people. Her white hair is so chilling, that just looking at it can make one shiver, and yet, it is oddly beautiful, like snowfall is. It usually sits in a ponytail tied in red ribbon.
Sexuality: strictly lesbian

Race: Human
Faunus Characteristics: N/A

Weapon: Cocytus's Garb
Isolda is a ninja, which inherently means she has quite the extensive knowledge of all manners of small, sneaky, concealed weapons, which she employs in her quick fighting style. Those weapons include, but aren't limited to, ninja stars, throwing daggers, needles, bombs and smoke bombs, wires, tricky tools like sticky bombs and traps, etc.
However, her real weapon is the beautiful, intricate golden claws, and white cloak she wears, collectively known as 'Cocytus's Garb'. The claws are simple enough, but she is deadly deft with them, making quick, sharp, impressive strikes and slaps that cut a foe's Aura easily. The cloak she wears is a bit more interesting, sewn in is Ice Dust, giving Isolda a quick and easy way to manipulate her namesake.

Semblance: A Gift from Nature
Isolda doesn't need the dust she has in her very clothes. Isolda is so connected with nature, that her Aura breaks off forming Dust crystals itself. She can create any type of Dust she wants from her very Aura, but it burns her Aura and depending on the type of Dust made, she suffers negative consequences. Such is the way of playing with and trying to control nature. When she forms Ice Dust (the one she primarily uses), she finds herself cold, shivering; extended Ice-making makes her freeze up, slow down, and can make her severely sick. Fire Dust hurts, sizzling on her skin, giving her a headache. Wind Dust causes small little cuts to nick her skin under the protective field that is her Aura. Those are some examples.

Walk with Nature
A secondary effect of Isolda's Semblance, is very specific. Any Element created solely by her own Aura-Dust she can 'walk' through. What this means is this, Isolda can... 'become' the Element she creates. For instance, say she creates Ice Dust, then using that Ice Dust she makes a block of ice. Isolda can mold herself directly into it. That's just an example. How does this help her? Well depending on how much of any element is around (that she specifically created using her Semblance), she can move around the battlefield quickly, avoiding most danger that could physically harm her.

Emblem: Cocytus's Daughter

Hunter/Huntress: Hunter/Ninja
From what area do you reside*: Mistral

Personality:
As chilly as her namesake, Isolda is not a chick you want to mess with, or take lightly. When it comes to interacting with her fellow humans, she can be either chill, or icy, depending on how you rub her upon first interaction. She thinks of herself highly, but it is a front, for some deeper insecurities. Which explains her sometimes cold exterior, but if you're a pleasant person, she generally doesn't have much of an issue with you. Unless you're nosy. Isolda is quite the secretive person, and greatly dislikes people prying into both her past, and/or her business.

When it comes to interacting with Faunus? That's an entirely different matter. This is where she is a grade A bitch. And where her insecurities really lie, but more on that later. Isolda grew up in a racist household, with parents who despised the Faunus, calling them abominations, not natural. Their viewpoint -it was forced upon their daughter. Isolda now has a deep-seeded prejudice against Faunus-kind, but inwardly. (Deep deep down). She struggles with 'Why?'. Or to put it simply, she may hate Faunus, but there's a inner part of her that doesn't understand the hate. That makes her question herself. It is very very deep down, but it is there. Regardless, when it comes to interacting with Faunus, Isolda is more than cold, she's wicked. She'll be openly racist, attacking Faunus with her words out of sheer spite. --Spite ingrained in her from horrible parents.

Likes*: Her Ninja Clan. Nature, nature walks, making new experiences, stopping to enjoy oneself - "smell the roses". Peace, tranquility, and quiet.
Dislikes*: The Faunus. Her own nasty side when it shows itself. People looking at her with disgust and judgmental looks. Masa-sensi. Faunus-lovers and sympathizers. She hates The White Fang seeing them as her mortal enemy.
Skills: Isolda is well trained in all manner of ninja weaponry, but tends to employ small, concealed weapons, and her simplistic ninja nails. She is very acrobatic, athletic, and limber. As well as very quick, fast, and agile. She knows how to swiftly end foes, by striking at specific points that end an opponent quicker, making her adept at ending fights before they become drawn out battles. Frankly, she is good at attacking pressure points. She is very adept at using Ice Dust specifically. Her cloak and Semblance both give her access to Dust, with her Semblance able to provide more Dust for her should she need it.
Weaknesses: Isolda tends to overuse the Ice Dust, meaning her cloak often runs out, leaving her the need to go resew Ice Dust in (as well as, acquire more). Her Semblance, too, she is overly reliant on. While strong, it burns out her Aura particularly quickly. She's also a cold-hearted girl at times, resulting in the loss of friends and allies, sometimes leaving her alone in the midst of battle. Faunus, in particular, would never team up with someone like Isolda. Even if she needs their help, her wickedness is often too much, and keeps potential Faunus allies at bay. She also doesn't even realize how cold she can be, or how awful she can be. Has trust issues, overall, so does not make friends as easily as she could normally, or expects to. Often fights with her own inner self at her own nastiness, in particular when she's a raging racist.

Looks:
Isolda has a pretty svelte, slender, lithe build, with her chest kept bound, resulting in appearing rather flat chested. Her usual combat-ninja attire is quite enhancing despite that, as it is quite beautiful, and intricate, with a very attractive white, gold, red, and black color scheme. Her height is around average for a girl, though tends to be a tad bit taller, as she loves to wear classy, elegant golden heels. With 'legs for days' attractively clad in sheer black tights. Her skin is pale, and she has big, bright golden eyes, as well as, extremely beautiful snow-white hair, usually maintained in a ponytail. She also hides a pretty pair of pouty lips behind a veil, with her symbol in red coloring on its front.

History:

Isolda was raised and trained in the Ninja Clan presumably located within Mistral. Though, it is more likely they have various branches among the various nations, but anyway... She had no choice, she was born right into it, with parents who were already ninja. Ninja life was her future, and she came to it easily. However, something that was a tad off, was the fact that her parents absolutely despised the Faunus. Something that initially Isolda thought was quite odd, even awful, however, that was when she was young... In time, she'd soon adopt her parents's mentality regarding the Faunus. She would never find out the reason for their hate, but it didn't seem to matter. Her parents made it compelling to hate the Faunus, and Isolda was young, impressionable. No one would truly blame her for taking her parents's view on the Faunus, since they so adamantly hammered it into their daughter.

They were so insistent on this hate, that Isolda found herself needing a break from her parents, and the clan both. Together the two were driving her nuts. While she did seemingly take on her parents's mentality, a part of her questioned it. So, Isolda found herself wandering the nearby forest alone. Sounds, sights, smells, all the new experiences she experienced on her first trip out..? Well it was awe-inspiring. She'd make trips out on her own, just to enjoy herself out in the world. This was how Isolda gained her love of nature. Ever since, Isolda would take trips out into the nature beyond, as a way to seek respite. Solace. Tranquility. It would forever be a way for Isolda to simply find peace: her zen state.

Now, when she was in the middle of her ninja training someone came to the clan... A young girl named Greta. A young Faunus girl. Immediately her parents hated that the clan took her in, and in tandem, so did Isolda. Something else that pissed the Skadi family off royally together, was the fact that Master Masa took Greta on as his student; specifically he would train her in the ninja way. Master Masa was also Isolda's sensei. Together, Isolda and Greta would be 'ninja sisters' learning under the same master. Greta seemed to pick up on ninja life quite easily. Where Isolda worked hard, Greta had raw, natural talent, upshining her at every turn in their training. This enraged her parents, to the point that they contemplated killing the Faunus girl, but were too scared to act against the clan. Isolda? Well it hurt her deeply each time the slender, lithe Panther girl upstaged her easily. It hurt her pride bad, and Isolda's hatred for Faunus not only grew, but seemed to cement itself, making even more sense than ever. She begun to see Faunus as what her parents had said all along. Aberrant monsters that had unnatural skills that humanity simply shouldn't possess. It seemed to make sense, when Isolda watched Greta perform feats so easily, that should've taken years of training to do, but only took her months. Her natural jealousy grew to rage and loathing.

It took her some time to remember, but this was not the first time she had met Greta. Oh no. (Isolda wonders if her parents even realize this, but to continue...). When Isolda's parents were trying to prove just how monstrous Faunus could be, and to show what humans 'should' do to them... Basically, as ninja, her parents had the capability of killing Faunus. So they did. They took their skills to a small Faunus colony, and took blade to the Faunus therein, bringing along Isolda to witness it. For someone like Greta, this memory would be her absolute worst; a nightmare, a tragedy, the beginning of a black-hole within herself, a life-long hatred. For someone like Isolda. It was supposed to be a learning experience. An example. Of what her parents expected of their daughter in the future. While Greta's Faunus parents were being murdered, an extremely young, confused, white-haired human girl locked eyes with an extremely young scared, petrified dark-haired Faunus girl. That was the first time they had 'met'. Only recently did Isolda remember and realize that. It was ironic, that Greta would come to be Isolda's 'ninja sister', after her parents were killed by Isolda's parents. It was like fate drove the two together after that tragic event.

Relationships*:

'Ninja sisters' with Greta, trained under the same sensei, Master Masa.
Isolda's parents brutally murdered Greta's in the past.

She is on the Mistral team fighting in the Vytal Tournament.

THE VYTAL FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT

It was a cool summer day, it felt so nice compared to the days coming up to such an event. So many bad things happened and it was good to just get a bit of release from it all. And have a fair tournament that was so secure that no one was going to get through now. At Beacon vendors were set up everywhere and people from all over remnant readying themselves for an event so spectacular that it would leave a hefty mark on remnant. First let me set the scene for the students who are participating. It may have been a cool summer day but man were the kids feeling the heat. The general anxiety that came with a tournament was probably freaking the kids out. The light breeze sending the color of their skin drifting away. This day meant a lot to them, it meant fun of course but to the students it meant a lot more. Victory, respect, stardom. Many more for different people but still, this entire tournament meant a lot. To the mere pedestrian it meant entertainment and fun. And it meant getting together with all their friends and sitting around for a day or two watching the most epic fights seen. But none would ever compare to a fight that happened years ago. Something people kept talking about as the students entered the massive vendor setup in front of the school. In between the school and the city lay a spectacle, the Vytal Arena, in all its beauty. As people passed a single name kept coming up 'Sion'. The Students heard his name before as he was the team mate of Flint, their headmaster. And he also with his team won the Vytal tournament with ease, hence why he was talked about so much. The bystanders wanted to see another shining star like him. But they all hoped the others would not become a falling sta like he did.

Now many would wonder why people would speak of a fighter who was both dead, and fought many years ago. Well my friends, it was because Atlas was bragging about making another shining star. Those from Atlas kept mentioning a name. It rung through the ears of our very own students 'Sir Emin' Yes, he had arrived and many bustled around him like a celebrity, stories of him were talked around. Once he had went and sat at a nearby vendor the mess had calmed down. And everyone went back to talking about who they thought would win. Sitting at the same vendor was a very small woman, she had the most unenthusiastic face and had a very low grumpy voice. This was Fex, from Vacuo. Accompanied by Turk. They were just chatting, waiting for the tournament to start. Which it was very shortly. Headmaster Maya was with Flint and Headmaster Shaash heading to the Vytal stadium to go watch over it. Her robots were disperssing throughout the land waiting for something bad to happen like Cheshires attack the other night, the stealing from Flint's office and the Grave robbing from Sion's grave. None of which being talked about, probably because the Headmasters just wanted one day of calm. The other competitors were all over the place. Some sitting at vendors and eating, some playing games and some just arriving on campus. Speaking of which, a Mistral team just arrived, stepping off the ship was Orenji, Jaws and Rauch. Carmine was also just getting off a high class Atlas ship with a couple councilmen, a big creepy smile on his face, not that he had a choice to close his mouth because of the disturbing tears in his cheeks but still. It did not help that he smiled with his own teeth to add on top. He was excited about something but it was hard to tell what was exciting him. The twins were with their brother Grizz and cousin Teal all heading off to get good seats.

So the students are now standing in front of a massive crowd with very little time before the Vytal tournament starts, they could do anything.

KROV

When his fellow team mates got up today and looked to his bed he was already gone, he woke up super early and bolted, to where no one really knew. He was not one to tell others what he was doing plus they were all sleeping. Krov at the current time was helping a vendor set up. A mistral vendor might I add, who makes mechanical body parts that are far cheaper then Atlas augments. The vendor was not competing with Atlas he was just letting people know that they have a cheaper alternative. He also was giving upgrades to weapons and such, he was like a repairman in a way. It was a far older man who very few recognized. But I can tell you now, he may be important later. As many have probably figured out, this was the man who made Krov his arms and other parts. Yes, Krov is missing other parts of his body. But he was helping the man out of gratitude. The sign above the stand said 'Wulf's Workshop'. So it was clear this man was Wulf. His sign said he did upgrades, made prosthetic and also had some medical training. He was a jack of all trades it seemed. But his reason for being here was just to promote his technological creations.

After finishing Krov sat down and had his arm worked on so it would be in peak performance for the Vytal festival, he sent a message to Olivia's scroll telling her where he was and to find him when the tournament started. They had done very little training for the Tournament but he believed they could do it. He chatted it up with his old friend as his left arm was in pieces on the table.

Asuka Trost

Asuka had all of her swords leaning next to the wall of her dorm. She had woken up bright and early, to tune her swords and ensure that the bright red energy blades were functioning properly. She was nearly done with her maintenance, only taking more time to fix her primary weapon. Trigger Eclipse. Quietly opening her dormitory room's door and slipping out into the hallway, Asuka made sure that there was no one walking about before starting to swing her sword, elegantly cutting the air with quick strokes of the sword to test it's weight.

In the middle of all this, the windows of her teams' dorm opened ever so quietly as a female fanus entered from the outside. She quietly tip toed her way across the room, peaking through the small opening, giving her a clear view of Asuka outside. Smiling, she turned back around, taking the time to inspect every inch and corner of the room, but decided to retreat to Asuka's bed and hid under her blankets to surprise the girl(s), as soon as she heard Asuka's footsteps approaching the door.

Lilith & Peggy

"Lilith Lilith Lilith! Wake up wake up wake up!"

Lilith groaned and buried herself further into her blankets. Waking up was so not on her list of priorities. Her sleep addled mind barely registered the bed shifting under her as her sister climbed to her feet next to her. For a moment she started to drift back to sleep, started to return to the endless waters with the floating candles, but then a sixty pound ball of energy decided to belly-flop on top of her. "I said wake up!"

"Oof!" The older girl poked her head out and glared at Peggy. "Really? Why?"

Glowing pink eyes stared at the woman pinned under her, concerned. "You've been sleeping a lot since the dance. Are you okay?" Peggy asked. Lilith pushed the younger girl down to her legs and managed to sit up. "What do you mean?"

Peggy also sat up, straddling her sister's legs. "You've been getting up later than usual. I mean you got five hours of sleep last night!" Lilith was one of those rare people that could operate on very little sleep, four hour being her usual amount of time in bed. Peggy on the other hand needed more sleep than most people on account of her being sick. "I've... I've had a lot on my mind recently. It's been kind of draining. Wait, how do you know how much sleep I got last night?"

83ee9d0eca75c19a4825a8134bed7fc4--anime-neko-anime-kawaii.jpg

"Um..." Peggy shifted around uncomfortably, her tail swishing back and forth nervously. "You, uh, you kind of woke me up when you got in bed." Before Lilith could apologize the kitten's ears perked up as she remembered why she had woke her sister up in the first place and she hopped off her legs. "Now come on! Get up get up get up! Today's the tournament!"

"Right. Right." Yawning Lilith climbed out of bed and wandered over to the dresser as Peggy bounced around the room singing "I'm get to see Beacon! I get to go to Beacon! Lilith's taking me to Beacon!" Lilith peeled off her sleepwear and began reaching for her outfit when she heard a gasp from behind her. "You- you've got a new scar..."

"Oh, yeah." Lilith reached back and ran her fingers across the new scar tissue that had been added to the dozens already there. "Training to kill monsters can be a little rough some times." she lied, the wound not coming from Beacon. Small arms wrapped around her waist, the child's unusual body heat almost burning against Lilith's bare skin. "This isn't going to be like when you trained in Mistral again, is it?" Peggy asked quietly, he ears drooped as she remembered years ago when her sister would come home once a week, covered in cuts and bruises. Lilith smiled at her and patted her head. "Don't worry. No one's trying to hurt me this time. I just made a mistake and my opponent swung a little too hard, that's all." This time she was technically telling the truth, though Peggy didn't quite seem to believe her and squeezed her tighter. "You promise?"

"I promise, matchstick. Now come on," She gave one of Peggy's ears a playful flick. "you need to get changed. I am not taking you anywhere in your pajamas."

Peggy giggled. "Kay."

.....

An hour later Lilith and Peggy were stepping off the airship onto to the Beacon docks, the youngest sister staring wide eyed around them. "Wow! It's sooooo cool!" Peggy practically shouted, her tail quivering with excitement. "I've seen pictures but holy dust! The tower's huge! I know what I'm drawing next!"

"You'll get a closer look on the way to the fair grounds." Lilith told her, motioning for her to follow. There was still a little time before the fights started and OKAL's fight wasn't till later, so they didn't need to head strait to the arena. "Chamois should already be there."

Olivia Dryade

"Level 7 Combat Scenario initiated, advisory, only intended for advanced trainees. Others risk bodily harm-" A sigh escaped the user before she rolled her emerald eye. Honestly did she have to listen to this advisory thing every time she wanted to get a good training session in? How many people have gotten injured from the training holograms? Granted they hit like a bag bricks at this level, but c'mon!

When three holograms finally appeared, an exasperated breath escaped the Wolf, not realizing she had been holding it. "Gah, finally, took you guys long enough to get here! It's not nice to keep a lady waiting you know!?" Olivia stated towards the holograms, wagging her finger at them disapprovingly. Unsurprisingly, the holograms had little reaction to this chastisement from their foe, instead launching at her to strike. The first had a massive battle-axe, Olivia narrowly somersaulting away from the impact which sent a tremor through the ground, this was followed by her being peppered by fire from an automatic rifle, most of the shots having difficulty finding their mark on the fast moving target. The final holo-warrior, wielding both a sword and shield, slashing at its emerald opponent with great vigor. The swipes carefully sidestepped, occasionally deflected by Senits or Lacero. When the axe-wielder rejoined the fight, Olivia made her move, carefully deflecting the axe from her and into the swordsman's arms.

"Ah, look what you did to your buddy, that wasn't kind!" Olivia chastised once more, before driving her katar into the axeman's gut, the hologram quickly fading from existence. Shifting her weapon to Longthorn, she let out a flurry of shots at her final opponent, making a pin cushion out of it before the match was ended. Truthfully it wasn't anything special, Olivia made sure to lower the settings from her usual training session, knowing exhausting herself so early in the day would be not good. There were so many people she had to punch today after all! Just make sure not to gut anyone while your out there.

Snarling at herself for a moment, she shook her head to get the ugly thought out of it before making her way back to the dorms. No time for distractions, drama or feeling bad! Today was the first day of the tourney, the day Team OKAL would prove itself to be amongst the best! She knew they were, knew they had it in them! Granted, the team had been shattered multiple times.... But they were still around right? Not many teams could survive that.

.... Wait, where the Grimm is my team? As Olivia snuck into the teams room, it didn't escape her notice that Krov was already gone. Lilith missing was to be expected, but she had hoped at least Krov would be there. Well, at least I still have my sleepy Amber! Speaking of.... The Wolf Faunus flung herself onto her partners bed before wildly thrashing about, one of their varied good morning rituals. Other included air-horns, silly string, yams (obviously), a pile of wet leaves and some mildly explosive Dust. Olivia got yelled at by Lilith a lot for that one.

"AmberAmberAmberAmber! Time to waaaakeee upppppp!!" She declared in a sing-songy voice. "We got places to see, people to punch, and fights to win!"

Keidivh

Amber had been catching up on sleep since the dance, and the setup before it. Since they had no classes, he basically slept until Olivia woke him for something. 13-14 hours of sleep was the average. Though, there was the one odd day where she let him sleep for a solid 19 hours.. That was nice. He hardly left the room since the night of the dance.. The occasional coffee run, Olivia dragging him out of the room for whatever, the odd walk around campus here and there.. He really had no reason to leave. Plus, Lilith had to show up at some point too. He hadn't seen her since the dance.. Maybe it was just bad timing? Whenever he left, she came back? Part of him thought it was her avoiding him, but that couldn't be the case right? She wouldn't do that. She was reasonable. But it'd been days.. She hardly ever stayed out this long at once. It was concerning. He didn't even know why she left so quick! She wouldn't let him sit around and beat himself up over it like he was if it weren't for a good reason. She was smarter than he was.. He was obviously missing something.

"Gah.. I'll punch you if you don't lower your voice!" Amber laughed, pushing the smaller girl off his bed. "Jeez. You don't have to yell everything, you know~ I love ya to death, but you need to cool your shit sometimes." He swung his feet over the side of the bed, extending an arm down to her to help her up. "Today is the festival, right? Shouldn't you be training? We have like, two hours before our fight, right? I can sleep for another hour 'n a half." He was awake a couple minutes earlier checking his scroll. His uncle had been trying to text him to come down and talk to him for hours now. He was visiting for the festival.

Ivory Skye

Mossino

Clockwork Syringe

Danchou Tsubomi

Skye stepped out of the shower, running a towel across her muscular frame, through her wings, where she aggressively swished it back and forth. She loved the feel of a towel brushing in her feathers. After that, she'd take a brush to them, again something she loved. Her white feathers shivered under the brush, almost singing a odd sense of pleasure to her. Then she brushed her long blue locks, and set to putting them up in their usual triple-tails. With that done, she got dressed, quickly donning her usual Atlasian attire, that she still wore here in Vale. Why? Well.. yeah, she hated Atlas, so uhm, whatever, who knew the reason? Hey! She looked good in what she looked good in! Blue, silvers, and whites were just her colors, okay? She stepped up to the mirror, worked on her face, brushed her teeth, and finished with any last thing she needed to do.

Proper hygiene out of the way, Skye made her way to Team INJL's room. Stepping inside, she looked at her slumbering team. "Hey! Get up you louts!" She kicked Joshua's bed, but not too hard. "Hmph. Team INJL, calling you fools. Get up! It's the day of the tournament!" She sounded excited no? Well, maybe no. Skye didn't get enthused about much. In some ways she thought this tournament was a waste of time, but in other ways, she wanted to prove what she could do. She selfishly sought the title of champion, but then, who didn't? "Ugh, whatever. Just don't disqualify me."

With that, Skye turned away, rolling her azure eyes. Her team would get up, but sometimes.. sometimes they could be so lazy. Right? Eh, it wasn't like she really paid all that much attention to how they acted. Joshua and Nat in particular, were often doing their own thing. Lilla.. up until recently, was also quite the loner. Heh, she couldn't really blame them. The Dove was the ultimate loner type, not really caring about much, often ignoring or failing her leader duties. Forgetting people around her. She was a mess. At least she knew Team INJL, and would act and fight with them in training when it called for it... Mostly anyways. She sought the way to get to the stadium.

Orchid Legrand
Interactions: Greta

Thalia_Neko
Location: Cafe

Asuka was not the only member of TOGA who'd woken up early. Orchid had caught a bus down to her favorite cafe, ordered some milk tea, and stayed there for some peace and quiet before their fight. There wasn't much use in preparing for the battle - Terra wasn't really a "formations and plans" kind of girl, and Pleuvoir didn't require upkeep beyond washes - so she figured this would be a good way to spend her time. The cafe was nearly empty of people, almost private, but lush with flowers and green plants. The smell of coffee, warm and light-roast, wafted through the air.

That wasn't all Orchid was here for. She'd left a note on Greta's stuff, handwritten on Orchid's favorite floral stationery, inviting Greta to meet her at the quiet cafe. Orchid wanted to spend some time with the ninja, but also to talk with her about what she'd felt the night of the dance - the affection, and the tail. Why had Greta hid this from her? The rich girl wanted her partner to know that there was no need to be ashamed or afraid. Not when Orchid was around.

She sipped her tea, chewing on the tapioca bubbles. Inelegant, but they tasted delicious. Orchid was flipping through a book of floral arrangements by region (Mistral settlements' traditional designs had paved the way for many modern ones) to pass the time. She hoped Greta would take her up on her invitation.
