Freshly minted 1st year Beacon student seeks strong, capable teammates. Applicants, please provide a short summary of your character plus a link to the completed profile. The following positions are open:
- Leader / Brawler: Chris Sebei (http://rwby-rpg.rwbyfanon.com/index.php/topic,601.0.html)
"The Tiger", as he's known professionally, is a fearless and aggressive brawler who brings speed, strength, and twin machine pistol nunchucks to the team in addition to his confident, charismatic leadership approach. - Scout / Fast Attacker: Drevin Srebra (http://rwby-rpg.rwbyfanon.com/index.php/topic,78.0.html)
Drevin is a dual blade rapid striker with a gift for both speed and stealth, making him an excellent forward scout. He's quiet and reserved by nature with a curious propensity of perching in high places. - Dust Swordsman: Graham Dylandy (http://rwby-rpg.rwbyfanon.com/index.php/topic,1058.msg13054.html#msg13054)
Graham is a close-quarters duelist who fights left-handed and augments his blade skills with clever Dust applications. He sees himself as a combat technologist and has the money and determination to prove his theories on the battlefield. - Defense / Support Protector: Rory Vogel (http://rwby-rpg.rwbyfanon.com/index.php/topic,1064.msg13123.html#msg13123)
Rory is a dual-shield defensive/support fighter with a talent for recon and analysis, as well as guarding his teammates in combat. His personality is strongly introverted and more than a little cautious around others, however he is reliable and can be fiercely loyal to those he trusts.
-
Just popping by to say that this is the best Team thread intro I've ever witnessed and I love it to bits.
-
Well Yona needs a team. Shadow summoning caster. Protective and kind
-
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you join up. ;D
-
Well I do have one (living) student, so why not. Drevin Srebra's kind of an edge lord, but he's a speed demon if ever you saw one. He's a good scout because he's stealthy and he's fast. His profile is pretty simplistic if you want more detail.
-
Okay gotta agree with Natendo here, this is a really really well-organized thread I mean like shiiiiiiit. Back in my day they were just composed of a slightly awkward greeting meant to sound cool, stating the obvious that they're looking for a team because they have a new character, and a 'not first come first serve' thing that wasn't true 50% of the time because people got tired of waiting, all in very, very casual speech.
But seriously, props to you.
-
Thanks for having Drevin join up! It seems our lil' family is just full of trauma and dysfunction -- all the better for plots later on! Now all we need is a fearless leader to unite our not-so-merry pack of misfits and we're all set. ^_^
And thanks for the compliment Mythic (and Nathan)! I've helped run forums in the past so I guess the impulse to keep the recruiting thread organized comes from that. I'm glad you both think so highly of it! xD
-
If you want someone who's fearless, look no further than Chris "The Tiger" Sebei. His natural confidence and ability to improvise means he is suited well for a leadership position. He gets up close and personal, and can use his skillset to allow his teammates' fighting styles to thrive. His natural charisma would be a good off-set for the personalities of the other characters.
-
Excellent! Thanks for applying -- we now have a pretty robust and well-rounded roster. I really look forward to fighting alongside you all!
Now, team name... CYDR could give us 'Cedar' (like the tree) or 'Cider' (like the drink), but those seem a tad bit... underwhelming. What do you all think about going with YDRC to give us 'Yggdrasil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil)'?
-
Riven just coming in and showing up everyone :D
Awesome that you guys got a team together so quickly, once you all agree on a name you will need to think of a color that fits said name, though with the world tree as the basis you'll have quite a few options.
Good luck guys ^^
-
Another option for the name is BRSS, or team Brass.
-
True, good point. That one even has our color option built in as well.
-
I do really like Yggdrasil, but I'm kind of a sucker for things that sound big and ancient. We could definitely do Cider if we were going for a more reserved team that isn't trying to be anything super important.
-
i agree with umbra with ygg or cider
-
Hmm... okay, so it looks like we've got a tie between CYDR "Cider" and YDRC "Yggdrasil". I can see both working out pretty well honestly; YDRC is kinda epic but doesn't have an obvious color tie-in, whereas CYDR is simple and strong with a clear color connection.
Mikelobmike, can I ask you to cast the deciding vote? I'm kinda torn on this, honestly, and it seems appropriate that our team leader picks the name.
Side note: Yea or nay on an initiation event? Cast your votes teammates.
-
Yea on initiation event here.
-
yes initiation and i think cider actually makes more sense cause the leader's letter should be 1st and Cider allows us to have C first instead of Y
-
I think Cider is the better of those two.
And I'm down for an initiation event.
-
TEAM CIDER it is, then! ;D
(BTW, if we don't have at least one thread where the team ends up sitting around, drinking cider and telling stories, I'mma be disappoint. Just sayin'. xD)
How's this for our team color: #a95726 Tried to get as close a match to actual cider color as I could with reference pics.
-
looks good
-
I can dig it, and I probably wouldn't be able to find anything better myself if I felt inclined to look.
-
Sorry I disappeared for a while, work was busy. Mikel, you still there? I think we're waiting on you.
-
Oh. Cool. The color looks fine. I didn't really have a strong opinion on it.
-
Ok, so... jjb2158 has agreed to set up our team initiation, however he's unavailable this week so it'll begin sometime next week. Does anyone have any requests / ideas for the event?
-
Um, sorry to say it, but I'll be unable to access the internet for two weeks starting on the 22nd, so I might be a little bit late on that whole initiation thing. Feel free to start without me though, you can just assume Drevin is doing something edgy in the treetops like not wanting to make friends or thinking about his "tragic" backstory.
-
kk
-
Hey all, wanted to check in and let you know that the initiation event is still gonna happen. Mike and I talked it over last night and we've decided to go ahead and run one ourselves with me GMing, so if you have any requests or ideas let me know. With some luck, I might have the basics sorted and a thread up by the end of the day.
-
hey back sorry had some computer issues
-
Welcome back, and sorry to hear about the computer issues. Your timing's good, in any case -- I'm working on the start to our initiation and should have it up tonight.
EDIT[: Initiation thread is up! (http://rwby-rpg.rwbyfanon.com/index.php/topic,1102.0.html)
-
Well it seems I came back around the perfect time!
-
...Okay, I really hate to do this -- not least because she seems like a cool person -- but I'm worried Sank may have disappeared or simply not be active right now. I think we need to open her spot up for a new applicant. All in favor?
(Please come back Sank... :'( )
-
I'll contact Sank in person, we're friends irl.
-
Yes, please do! Thanks for that.
-
Okay, at this point it doesn't seem that Sank is coming back, which really is unfortunate. I'm going to edit the first post and open up her spot so we can get the initiation thread rolling again.
-
You would have to change the name (which is unfortunate) but I'll enter Graham Dylandy for the open spot. He's a heavy-hitting sword fighter with experience under his belt, but he's got a interesting reason for being in Beacon in the first place.
-
Kinda figured the name would have to change, honestly -- it is what it is. Welcome to the team!
Alright, working on the name now... anyone got a good one for CDGR? Best I can work out at the moment is "(something)gear".
-
This is actually the hardest combination to come up with a name.
Best I can come up with is RSGS (Resurgence) but there's no color reference to it. Nor is the leader's initials in the front. Annoying.
-
Always a fun challenge, though pretty limited with options for leaders initial being first (Though that isn't an established rule)
Best I can come up with so far is Grass (GRSS)
Graham Dylandy, Rory Vogel, Chris Sebei, Drevin Srebra
There are options for "CD - gear" but few that make much sense (Code- Card- Cloud-)
-
Got to wage cuck soon so Ill only post a few
Keeping the first letter C or S for your leader I've got;
SSGR(Sangoire) technically a fictional shade of red which is so saturated it is almost black.
SSGR(Sangria) dark slightly purplish red
CDDR(Cedar) like the tree
CDDR(Cheddar) like the cheese
CDDR{Cinder) like the hot lady
Randomised letters because naming conventions are for nerds
DDSR(Desire) which I think would be funny in a purely male team
-
Whoo-hoo! King for the save! That's a great list to work from -- thanks for doing that!
I kinda like Sangoire, actually. Given that the team lead's color is black and we now have two characters rocking shades of red it does have a certain thematic fit. We could also go with Cedar and keep our original color scheme, though that's not too big of a deal either way.
Team, your thoughts?
-
Aye, sounds good--amazing, even--doffing my cap to King. Sangoire's got my vote.
-
I do like Sangoire.
-
Sounds like we have a majority vote, then! ;D
I'll go ahead and get the necessary adjustments made in the Teams roster and the initiation thread -- with any luck we can get that back up an rolling in short order. As for team color, how does #180000 look?
-
Looks good.
You guys had a initiation planned, it seems--I'll go with the flow on this one.
-
Thanks, MM, appreciate that. :D
Initiation thread's been tweaked and stands ready for action. I think Mike had expressed a desire to post last, so you can go ahead and jump in if you want Monster.
-
Due to inactivity, I'm accepting an offer to have Rory transfer to team VCVS. Sorry this effort didn't pan out, and thanks to those who put in time and effort on it.
Viventium Umbra, I know you'd expressed some enthusiasm about the initiation thread, so if you'd like me to run that scenario for a team you're on at any point just let me know, ok?
