Ridgel Sylph POV
Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it! Why did this have to happen to me of all people!?
If you need an explanation, I was being chased by a deathstalker, right after fighting against three Ursa majors, and my aura was running low. This was NOT how I thought my day would go.
I jumped swiftly over a fallen tree, and continued running. I heard the crunch of the deathstalker crushing it behind me. Oh yeah, and guess what? My day would only get worse.
Vega Spriggan POV
"Hang on Andromeda!" I yelled, applying pressure to her wound. "We're almost done!"
"Alright," She said, "Just get it over wiiiaaaAAAAGH!"
"Andromeda!" Nebula yelled.
Me, Nebula and Andromeda had all met up at the temple(we had gone surprisingly fast), when suddenly this random Beowulf had come out of nowhere and slashed Andromeda across the stomach. She hadn't had her aura up at the time, and… now she was a bleeding mess. Me and Nebula had killed the Beowulf, and now we were trying to help Andromeda.
"GODDAMMIT THAT HURTS!"
"Can SOMEONE get this deathstalker off my tail!?" I heard someone yell behind me. Finally, some help!
"Hey! Over here!" I yelled, waving my arms. "We got an injured girl over here!"
He seemed to have a decisive look on his face, then bolted towards us. He cut down a nearby tree with his absolutely GIGANTIC sword, and skidded to a stop right next to me. "You guys needed some help?"
"Well, yeah, but-"
"YES! WE NEED AS MUCH HELP AS WE CAN GET!" Andromeda screamed.
"…She ran out of aura, didn't she?" He asked.
"Yup," I answered.
He sighed and facepalmed. "Hold still."
He reached out a hand, and somehow, aura seemed to flow from it into Andromeda. I partially opened the wound, and saw that it was healing extremely fast. In a few moments it was as if it wasn't cut in the first place.
She sat up and looked at him. "Thanks. Who are you?"
He hesitated, but then said, "I'm Ridgel. Who're you?"
"My name's Andromeda, and- DEATHSTALKER!"
We all turned around and saw the deathstalker's claw readying itself to crush us all. Just as it brought it down, Ridgel made some sort of barrier, and struggled to keep it up. I could see him sweating. But he didn't need to keep it up for long, because…
"WOO-HOO!"
All of us turned towards the sound, and some guy in a red trenchcoat and a really big sword was jumping off a tree with his sword over his head. He flew towards the deathstalker and stabbed it through the head. He took it out of it's head, and back-flipped off.
"Always the show-off, aren't you Dante?" We heard a girl say to him. "You don't need to."
"Oh come on Trish!" He shot back. "I have to show off whenever there are people to show off to."
The girl walked out of the forest. She had a black corset and tights, long blond hair, and a sword that could rival Ridgel's in size. I had noticed Dante had white hair, and light blue eyes. He looked like a Schnee had become less "royal".
"But, that aside, we have friends," Trish said, looking towards us. "Shall we greet them?"
"Eh, why the heck not? Makes it more fun." They both walked towards us. "So, how's it goin'?"
Virgil POV
Nero and I were walking through the forest. We hadn't found Dante yet, but suddenly…
"WOO-HOO!"
"…That was Dante wasn't it?" Nero asked.
I sighed. "Let's go see what trouble he's in now."
We immediately sprinted towards where the "woo-hoo" had come from. We had run into some obstacles, but we leveled them with ease. We came into a clearing with the temple, and a very, very dead Deathstalker. Next to it was Dante and Trish, talking to some other initiates.
"Dante!" I yelled, getting his attention. "I'm guessing this is your fault."
He put on a shit-eating grin. "Who else?"
"Well, it could have been me if I didn't have so low aura!" One of the other initiates yelled.
"Wait… then how did you…?" One boy sitting next to him asked.
"Ever heard of a semblance?"
"Oh… riiiight."
"Wow," one of the girls chuckled, "Being a lesbian really is messing with your head, Vega."
"For god's sake. I. Am. A. THESPIAN!"
"Woah, chill kid," Dante told him, "They were only kidding."
"Not really kidding if they've been saying that ever since they met you," Vega retorted. "Besides, I'm not sure they're enjoying your gun show, Dante."
Dante laughed. "What, you mean my chest? Or these?"
He pulled out ebony and ivory and instantly started doing crazy stunts with them, most not exactly explainable. Say, shooting a tree down, killing three grimm with one bullet, and other things. He ended in a crouching position, and looked up at the initiates. And the girls instantly started clapping.
"Dante, I know it runs in the family," I said, clutching the bridge of my nose, "But you don't need to show off too much."
"Please, don't spoil my show Virgil. Besides…" He pointed towards the sky and towards a nevermore, "The party's about to start."
MAN that feels good. I mean, I've been working on this for a couple weeks now, and I have finally got this out of my drive! Yay! Also, for the OCs, here are some details:
Name: Ridgel Sylph
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Height: 5ft, 11in
Weapons (if any): Pendragon, a Variant Length Sky Splitter. Starts off in the form of a fat trench knife, about a foot of blade, and four inches of hilt. By twisting the hilt one way or another, Pendragon can be extended to Buster Sword form or Zanbatou form. In Buster Sword form, the blade is five feet, and the hilt is eight inches. In Zanbatou form, the blade is six feet, and the hilt is a foot long. Pendragon weighs about one ton due to all of the metal and mecha-shift. Worn at the small of his back like Ruby's scythe.
Description: Ridgel wears forest colors; greens and browns. His combat outfit is made of tanned hides, and is good for camouflage. He has shoulder length auburn hair that he keeps bound back in a ponytail. He is heterochromic; his left eye is jade, while his right is ice blue. His skin tone is pale and freckled. He's quite slender, but don't let that fool you; he's fully capable of swinging his one-ton weapon around with one hand, though not it Zanbatou form (though this is due to the unwieldy size, rather than the weight.) He's fairly quiet, generally flexible and able to react well to unexpected events. He is very protective of those he cares for. He secretly enjoys Ninjas of Love (I read it for the plot, damn it!)
Semblance: King's Chivalry- Ridgel can extend his Aura to form barriers, and he can "stick" his Aura to other people's, assuming they are relatively close to him (emotionally). This gives others an added line of defense. (Passive effect: When his Semblance is not being actively applied, Ridgel's Aura protects him 75% better than ordinary Aura.)
Name: Andromeda Caitsith
Race: Cat Faunus (concealed)
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Height: 5ft, 5in
Weapons (if any): Scatach, a Multi-Action Dust Spear-Staff. A staff with a revolving Dust chamber like Weiss' Myrtenaster on the tip. There are four Dust chambers, each with twice the volume of Myrtenaster, sacrificing variety for capacity. It contains Burn, Tide, Gale, and Quake Dust (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth). A spear tip can be extended by twisting the hilt. Worn on the back, over the shoulder, like Blake's sword.
Description: Her outfit resembles Fang's from Final Fantasy XIII, but in black (A relatively revealing robe with slit sides for better mobility) She wears her dark pink hair in twintails that conceal her pale pink cat ears, and she keeps her cat tail coiled around her waist under her clothes. She's shapely and slender, with corded muscles that speak of years of training. Her eyes are amber, like Blake's. She's pretty excitable, boisterous and fun loving. She quickly develops a crush on Rigel after seeing the way he acts and fights. She, Vega, and Nebula all know each other from prior schooling. She and Nebula love to mess with Vega. She deliberately calls Vega a "lesbian", making fun of the fact that he calls himself a "thespian".
Semblance: Gae Bolg- When active, her Aura is rapidly drained, but her spear-based attacks strike her target without fail. This applies to her weapon as well as to any long, thin, pointed (in other words, spear shaped) Dust-based projectiles.
Name: Vega Spriggan
Race: Raven Faunus (concealed)
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Height: 5ft, 7in
Weapons (if any): Auditore, a Variant Ballistic Chain-Scythe of a different variety than Blake's. Base form resembles Strider Hiryu's weapon, though the blade is metal rather than plasma. One hilt on the bottom, two on each side of the guard. One of the side hilts fires silenced bullets, the other detaches, remaining connected via a chain. The third hilt, when twisted, causes the blade to segment and curve like Qrow's scythe, while the hilt telescopes to form a scythe. Worn at the small of his back, beneath his cloak, like Ruby's scythe.
Description: Wears a cowled cloak and a metal half-mask that covers his eyes and hair. Under that, he wears jet-black studded leather armor. When he removes the cowl, mask, and armour, his Faunus features are revealed: Crimson, slit-pupiled eyes, black feathers interspersed within his jet-black hair, and a pair of functional raven wings that he keeps bound beneath his clothing. He fancies himself a thespian, and affects various roles for his own amusement, as well as to garner reactions from others. Gets aggravated when "uncultured plebeians fail to appreciate the genius thespian" that he sees himself to be. He's also mildly masochistic, and a bit of a sadistic prankster.
Semblance: Phantom Step- Soundless, Instantaneous, Short-Range Teleportation. His initial safe limit is 10 feet if he can see where he's going, 5 feet if he's teleporting blindly. He can initially transport himself, and one other person without risk to himself or his passenger. As long as he follows his limits, he doesn't need to worry about leaving behind body parts, or appearing within a solid object.
Name: Nebula Undine
Race: Human
Gender: ? (Conceals her gender with androgynous appearance, loose clothing, bound breasts, and androgynous voice. The reason she conceals her gender is "because I want to keep people guessing, and because other people's discomfort amuses me.")
Age: 17
Height: 5ft, 9in
Weapons (if any): Nobunaga, a Multi-Action Dust Katana. Basically Weiss' rapier, except with a katana blade and hilt. No sheath, six Dust chambers with the following Dust types: Tide X2, Gale, Freeze X2, Gravity (Water, Water, Wind, Ice, Ice, Gravity).
Description: She wears a sea green kimono that a noble would approve of, with all accoutrements that come with it. She wears this kimono over her uniform too, which is a Male uniform. She's quite sadistic, but mainly to people who've done wrong, though she does enjoy tormenting Vega, much in the same way that an eight year old boy bullies an eight year old girl to display his affection (though her way has more drowning).
Semblance: Inexorable Tide- Aquakinesis and limited Aquagenesis. She can manipulate large quantities of water, as well as pull more from the air to use. She can also manipulate the water and ice from her Dust. When her team fights Team SSSN in the Vytal Festival (second round, her and Andromeda vs Sun and Neptune), she takes great pleasure in causing Neptune irrevocable psychological trauma.
So… yeah. That is a lot of stuff. Anyway, just check out Xanothos, he is awesome for lending me his OCs, and when you do, just tell him OverDude sent ya. Have fun! Bye-bye! X3
