A brisk wind blew outside the airfield the sun shown through thick grey clouds, alongside the sound of the wind was two airships being readied for take off. It was hard to make out from a distance but a group of eight people stood out side armed to the teeth and ready for anything that would be thrown their way... at least that's what they hoped.

Kale stood at the open door of one of the transport ship and called everyone over, once they gathered around she said loud enough for all of them to hear "Ok we're all here and now that I know none of this will be leaked off messages, I can tell you what we are looking for and why this is so dangerous, we are searching for the t17, in other words a killing robot gone wrong and has since killed people including   one of my friends, Azrail. I have no idea of its intelligence or weaponry, that's part of what we need to find out were starting in some of the smaller villages to investigate any disruptions a lot of them probably just Grimm or raiders but we just need to see if it has left the city, if you have any questions ask Obadia or myself now let's roll.", with that she got on the airship with her team while Obadia did the same.

Ok so my main character Kale just had a dear friend of hers die and now she needs a team to help her find out who and where they are. This is recommended for higher class students but she will accept help from anyone who is willing.

There will also be a support team lead by Obadia running its own thread so indicate which team you would like to be in, otherwise I'll judge who would fit in which team best.

On a warm sunny day with a cool breeze in the air a woman walked down the street towards a coffee shop, Alice opened the door and ordered a large cup of black coffee. She sent a message to her daughter Sonya telling her where to meet if she wanted to hang out with her old woman.

You know what to do ask them anything and you will get a response

CHARACTER

Name: Eddy Midori (Midori meaning Green in Japanese)

Age:17 Born Klever 3, 65 AC

Species and Gender: Male, Monkey Faunus

Symbol:A brown monkey head with orange eye, a green piece of mint hanging out of its mouth, all on an orange background

Occupation:First year student at Beacon, and martial arts specialist

Appearance: Eddy looks like a relatively average sized man standing at six feet tall and weighing 200 pounds, he is almost pure muscle and has dark brown skin that is almost always covered by his brown, monk like robes, that open in the front and has two deep pockets on the outside and ten on the inside, his tail and hair are a bright orange, his dreads comes down to his shoulders and are braided each one have three colored beads at the end of each dread one orange, one green, one brown, his eyes are split colored the right one being dirt brown, while the left is emerald green, under his robes he wears a baggy pair of bright green and orange pants that are held up with a metal belt and a rope right under it, the pants are also tied around his ankles with a pair of ropes allowing him free leg movement, adorning his chest is a matching tight shirt without sleeves, he also has a pair of steel bracers for combat under those he has a lot of scars from blocking, and a pair of brown leather combat boots, he is almost never seen without a mint leaf in his mouth that he stores in a pocket of his robes.

History:Eddy was born and raised in the mountains near Mistral by a rich family, his father, Kain was a monk that was kicked out of the monastery for falling in love with Mary a martial arts specialist who came from a rich family, when Eddy was born they moved high into the mountains to avoid the monks who were upset with Kain for breaking his vows and leaving, they just didn't want to risk getting into trouble with them even though they would probably be able to handle themselves, they didn't want to endanger their sons life so they left.

Years flew by as Eddy learned from his parents how to fight and defend himself by his mother and yet at the same time be compassionate to others that were less fortunate then himself by his father, his favorite form of combat growing up was Capoeira, it reminded him of a dance he had seen his mother do a few times, for his normal education his parents hired a private tutor that would teach Eddy about history, math, dust, ect. But what the tutor did not know was that Eddy was cheating on his tests by looking over the answer key before the tests, now it wasn't that he didn't know the material he was just being lazy and taking the easy way out. The surprising thing about Eddy was not that he enjoyed learning about combat and aura, it was at the speed he learned, at one point it started to worrying his parents because things that took them years to learn and perfect was taking Eddy only a year or so to do them with near flawless precision , when he was twelve years old they took him into the city to go see a doctor about it, after the tests came back the doctor told them that they had nothing to worry about he only had eidetic memory, that was a relief to his parents, on the way back home they saw a group of ten monks fighting a large amount of Grimm, Kain knew he had to be a good example to his son or he would be completely negating what he taught Eddy, so he helped the group by creating a hole in the ranks of Grimm for the group to get out and spread, but in the process Kain was in the middle of fending off two Ursa minors while the other monks were occupied with their own groups, a King Taijitu came around behind Kain and dropped its head open mouthed right on top of him swallowing him in one bite, at that moment something woke up in Eddy and he felt a rush of energy then in his hand was a full sized Naginata seeing the weapon in his hand he charged the King Taijitu and after many minutes some of the monks came to the boys aid and with their help they took it's head clean off, Eddy wanting his father back cut open the body and looked for his father but when he found it Kain was already dead, Mary was in shock as she watched what happened to her husband and what her son had done with the help of the monks, so she ran up to Eddy and picked him up and ran the rest of the way home, that started the next few years of Eddy's training they were intense and packed with sparing, this is where Eddy got many of his scars as he  started learning other forms of martial arts that made use of disarming an opponent, while his mother used weapons and he would end up block with his arms giving him deep cuts until the day his bracers came in the mail they were a little big for him at the time but he would grow into them, when he turned sixteen his mother had nothing else to teach him so she told him about his school choices, he didn't want to stay here he wanted to get away and see more of the world, so he chose Beacon academy, his mother smiled and said that's were she went to school as well.

It didn't take long for Eddy to pass the entrance exams but when he did he was kind of nervous about leaving his mother and friends, she saw the conflict going on in his head and told him "You will always have a place back home, don't worry about me just go have fun and make some friends, you will need them at Beacon.", one of his friend handed him a bag of mint leaves and said "Those should help your nerves now go kick some ass in Vale" and with that he hugged his mother and friends goodbye and got on his family airship heading for Beacon academy.

Personality: Eddy is a very calm person on account of being raised like a monk, and although he knows he can have as much money as he needs at any time he doesn't go flaunting it around like it was a prized kill instead he is quite generous with it, although when it comes to his fighting skills he gets cocky and likes to brag a bit and that often leads to him getting into fights with others, he has a hard time talking about his father to people he doesn't know very well, although calm if he sees a King Taijitu he goes into a frenzy and won't stop for anything until it's dead, even if in doing so it puts friends in danger.

List of Martial arts used

• Capoeira
• Kali Eskrima
• Krav Maga
• Ninjutsu

Aura and Semblance:Martial weaponry: in addition to knowing different types of martial arts, Eddy can create some weapons from their respective fields, he can use his semblance up to 10 times a day each time causing a 10% reduction in his aura and can only use one of the weapons at a time and must wait two minutes before getting another one, the list of weapons that he can create are: a Katana, Nunchucks X2, Shuriken X5, a Quarter Staff, Sickle X2, a Naginata, a short sword and small shield, or a Glaive, since the weapons are not forged they have no other functionality other than their original purpose, but they won't break or bend as easily as normal weapons do but will still break with enough force, it takes about two seconds for weapon to fully form and will break after five minutes of use.

Combat Behavior: Eddy uses quick strikes in a hit and move style, getting in quick and getting out faster, but if he gets caught in someone's grasp he is not completely defenseless he is strong and could himself get out of most situations, his real weak point is ranged combat he has no guns so the furthest target he can hit has to be within throwing distance and that is only when he uses his shurikens, he also does not wear armor as it would mess with his combat style so a few good hits and he goes down.

WEAPON

Name: Snakes Tongue

Primary Form: Most of the time he wears this weapon as a belt holding up his pants, over top of a simple rope, but it is longer than it looks.

Secondary Form: When Eddy takes the belt off and flicks a switch, behind the buckle, the metal belt becomes a 5 foot long, serrated whip.

WEAPON

Name: Iron Feet

Primary Form: Built into his boots are a pair of knives that shoot out from behind the heel, or in front of the toe, when he kicks to add penetration damage, they can be pulled out to be replaced or removed if malfunctioning.

History: Eddy needed something to help him in his fights, although he could kill someone with his kicks it just is not practical for killing Grimm as they would either just get annoyed with him or just hit him to the ground, that was when he had the idea to use his belt as a whip, so he redesigned it to become serrated on command, but while using it restricted him from capoeira to his other martial arts, so he created his boots with some complications such as getting the retraction of the blades to work was difficult and it malfunctioned from time to time.

CHARACTER

Name: Alice Kasshoku(maiden)/Schwarz(married)

Age: 38

Species and Gender: Female, cat Faunus

Symbol: Two brown ring blades cutting through a Beowolf’s scull

Occupation: (Vale primary) Active Huntress, part time mercenary 

Appearance: An average sized woman standing five foot, seven inches and weighing in at 130 lbs. Her skin is a tanned brown with freckles dotting her face and arms, she has shoulder length brown hair with a pair of furry cat ears poking out. She has very defined facial features such as, almond shaped eyes with her gold iris slitted like a cat, her jaw line comes to a rounded point and her mouth almost always has a smile. She wears a tie dye corset with shoulder sleeves and a skirt connected to it and a 3 foot tail swaying out behind her, she wears a pair of black gloves that have a thin chainmail lining to them, she also wears leather pants that fit and move more like stockings also having that chainmail lining to them, and finally for shoes she wears a pair of reddish-brown, thigh high heels with a pointed toe. On her back right behind her shoulders is a double holster for her weapons, and when she smiles you can see that her teeth are sharper than normal.

History: For as long as Alice can remember, she had wanted to be a huntress from listening to all the tales her father had told her over the years. She spent years perfecting her talent with her mother’s prefered weapon the ring blade, but there was only so much that her parents could teach her so she went to Signal for her allotted time and graduated to Beacon.

Her time there blew by until the day she met her husband on a mission, he was a military man and she found herself drawn in by his charms and soon they found that she was pregnant and they got married. Alice talked with her parents and they helped support her as she had their first child Sonya, not even a year later she found that she was once again pregnant with her second child and much the same process with her parents and soon she was the proud mother of her son Rabe.

She eventually graduated from Beacon and became a full fledged huntress, but even then felt a little bogged down so she went on some missions that took her away for months at a time which cause a lot of stress for her until one of her “buddies” introduced her to drugs which she thought were great for stress.

Although she didn’t realize the side effects that the missions were having on her relationship with her family over time, until she came home one day and found herself crying at how much she had missed in both Rabe’s and Sonya’s life, the most shocking of those was when she found out that Rabe had been wounded by Grimm and was now limping around for life, so she stayed for a few months before realizing that she was once again pregnant with her third child which meant she wasn’t going anywhere for a while.

During her time off she took Rabe and Sonya to go see her parents and tell them the news… again, but regardless they were happy for her and happy they got to see their grandchildren at the same time although she figured that her husband brought them over sometimes. When she got back to the house she thought about her life and was pleased with the exception of missing out on her children's lives. Not that much longer afterwards Alice had her third child Anita.

But unfortunately for Alice, she had to be pulled away on assignment that as the client said “required her way of doing things”, and before she realized it she was missing out on more and more stuff in her children’s lives, at this point she was trying to get away from work so she could spend more time with her children, so she bought a small apartment in Vale where she had heard Sonya and Anita had decided to go to school.

Personality: Alice is a free spirit with a temper to boot, ever since she had kids she became a very family oriented person making sure that all of her free time is devoted to her kids and husband, even though she only has a few of those moments in between one job and another. She tends to get extremely aggressive whenever someone threatens her family, as a side note she likes to be high as much as possible to reduce her stress but will try and cut it down around her family.

Aura and Semblance: Color: Brown
Weapon link: Alice’s semblance allows her to move her weapons in any direction as long as it is within 50 feet of her at an aura cost of 5% per minute. A direct line of sight helps with control over her weapons but is not required if she knows the terrain.

Combat Behavior: Alice is one of those fighters that is actually kinda creepy when fighting up close since the whole time she would be laughing or talking, when she is up close she is unpredictable slashing from a different angle every time, although you get her at a range and she gets more predictable using Zip as a knockout shot and Rend as a kill shot, she also uses Rend as a stepping point to get to high places.

WEAPON

Name: Zip and Rend

Primary Form: Two ring blades that are four feet in diameter with one grip for her hands, the both blades have needle sized holes all throughout them to allow dust abilities but not so bad as to ruin the integrity of the blade. Her left handed blade (Zip) is green and has a slightly duller blade allowing her to bounce it off a wall or two to hit her target, her right handed blade (Rend) is red and also a lot sharper, allowing for more cutting power.

Dust Functions: In the event that Alice actually need to both Zip and Rend are fitted with slots for three dust crystals.

Fire:When activated a colored flame (depending on the color of the weapon) envelopes the entire blade and burns on contact.

Wind:When activated there seems to be an invisible barrier when in actuality it's a high force wind blowing from the blade, when swung the wind seems to get stronger allowing her to push someone back with a buffer of wind.

Gravity(Zip only):This is only used when Alice needs to knockout a running target, she activates the crystal making the weapon lighter and throws it with more power than before.

Glass(Rend only):When this is being used Alice is clearing or distracting a room, cause she has exactly three seconds before the weapon starts shooting out needle sized shards of glass

History: Alice learned the art in using the ring blade from her mother but developed her own style by adding a second ring blade and swinging them in intricate designs, she actually used them to make art as the blades made interesting patterns in wood.

CHARACTER

Name: Kale Bomvu (Bomvu meaning red in Xhosa)
Nickname Foxy

Age: 21 Born Arashi 1, 61 AC

Species and Gender: Female, Fox Faunus

Symbol: A white fox head howling on a crimson circle

Occupation: Ex-white fang explosives expert, Third year student at Beacon Academy

Appearance: Standing six foot two inches tall, this 150 pound woman is thin but surprisingly strong. Her shoulder-length, white hair is unkempt and flows just over her shoulders, with two furry white fox ears popping up just out of her hair. Her alabaster skin is contrasted by a red, tribal wolf tattoo on her left shoulder and a tattoo of a wolf with a shield wielding woman on its back, running up her left leg, she has a pair of deep set, crimson red eyes. She wears a pair of custom made red headphones (like the ones Ruby was wearing in episode 1 but redesigned for her fox ears) and a strange silver necklace in she shape of a fox head with inlaid rubys for eyes. She wears a black and white striped jacket that is cut off just above her stomach with no sleeves and a red interior that covers a burn scar on her left shoulder. The only armor she wears is a pair of scuffed, red leather bracers with a slot for a small dust vial(usually fire on the left and ice on the right). Her white furred tail is sticking out of the back of a pair of black and white striped jeans. The left leg of her pants have the entire outer half of the fabric missing, with the occasional strap of fabric looping around her leg to connect to the fabric hugging her inner thigh. Standing out in stark contrast is a red bandanna tied around her left knee. Her waist is adorned with a silver sash, tied in an intricate knot with ten large pouches equally interspersed five of which are filled with different types of dust, one is filled with varying types of crystals, and a scabbard where her sword hangs, and from her left hip. Her feet are adorned with a pair of custom make combat boots with boot knives carefully tucked inside.

History: Kale grew up in a small farming village just outside Vacuo with her family. Her father, a guardsman for the village, taught her about the Grimm and how to survive, both in the wilds and within the civilized confines of the kingdoms. Her mother was a huntress who was forced to retire because of a near fatal injury. She taught her how to use her aura intelligently and how to fight, and sometimes she would teach her about how to mix dust without getting everyone killed. Her brother Marcus, is only two years younger than her and was hunting when their mother returned to the village nearly killed during her mission. All of Kale's friends called her "Foxy" because it was the only nickname that she would allow them to use without breaking anything, when she was about five she asked her parents if she could get a tattoo when they asked what she would get she said "the family crest tattooed on my arm" her father smiled with a deep sense of pride and said yes.

When she was younger she would play with her spectral foxes for fun. For a few minutes at a time she would make them dart and frolic around to kill time, until either she got tired from the expenditure of aura or people started complaining about the explosions, but that wasn't always from the foxes, she would often get into the towns dust supply and try mixing the different types like her mother had taught her. When she and her friends reached thirteen and a half years of age, they became got tired of the slow-paced village life that seemed too boring to them. In order to try to harness their energy into something more productive for the village, Kale's father offered them all jobs guarding the village. They all accepted without hesitation, but after a couple of years of this they realized they wanted to do more...they wanted to make a difference in the world, but they didn't know how to do that. During a few of their patrols, they heard of an organization claimed to help the faunus world wide and would accept any faunus who was interested. The thought of helping the plight of faunus throughout the realms piqued their curiosity enough to look into the White Fang. Realizing that the tenants of the White Fang could achieve what they wanted in life, Kale and her friends joined up. When they attended their first meeting as White Fang initiates, all of her friends were hooked. Strangely enough, Kale wasn't sure what it was that rubbed her wrong, but she knew there was something she didn't like about the white fang, but she figured why not give it a try, if nothing else, she could always leave at a later time.

After a year and a half of training, the White Fang had moved her group to Vale for their last few training missions, a few days before they arrived Kale was making some dust grenades for a mission when one of them exploded creating a napalm on her left shoulder, she was rushed to the white fang medic who treated her burns but told her it was going to scar. After they arrived in Vale, she began to feel deeply conflicted with how she envisioned the groups "help" for faunus-kind after she was involved in a mission to capture Theodore Williams. She had decided she definitely did not like the way the White Fang was being operated, so she decided that she wanted out.

Later that night she tried to slip out of camp unnoticed, but was caught by a guard who turned out to be her best friend Eric. As he started to raise the alarm she knew what she had to do...so as a tear ran down her cheek, her lips parted as she silently said, "I'm sorry." just as she ran him through with her blade. Crimsonfang's unusual soft crimson glow blazed brightly with Eric's blood dripping off the point and then fading back to its softer hue as she withdrew the blade from his now lifeless body. She wiped the tear from her cheek and looked down at him with remorse and then she ran away. She knew she had few options left for her, so she decided to become a huntress like her mother and she went and applied to Beacon Academy. The entry process consisted of numerous tests, that were to evaluate her mental capacity, her physical strengths and limits, her combat prowess and her understanding and use of her aura in order to prove she was good enough to enter Beacon. Through dedicated concentration, physical endurance and persistence, she passed the entrance evaluations with flying colors. Here she hoped that Beacon Academy would be able to provide the additional knowledge, training, and most importantly the safety she needed to protect her from the white fang, and if she made friends, she hoped that eventually she could trust them enough to share her secret and if need be give her life to protect them.

Her first years at Beacon were quite eventful she met a lot of new people some of which she did not get along with, while others she quickly got to know and learned to trust, one of which being her girlfriend Alexis Resister they have spent the last two years being together and Kale knows that she would die for Alexis if she needed it but she hopes it never comes to that, after her first year dating Alexis, Kale got another tattoo this time it was on her leg she had it specially made to depict her and Alexis being together for the long run, during her time at the school she also ran a few missions and had some fun doing them,  she had a few more run-ins with the White Fang which never turned out good for them, now she was in her third year of school and she is looking forward to having another great year.

Personality: A semi-shy person if she doesn't know you, but after you get past her shyness she is a vibrant, fun loving, person who is very dedicated to her work, but she is an aggressive woman who doesn't take crap from anyone if they are showing racism to the faunus, and because of her past she doesn't trust people as fast as most would like, but if you do earn her trust she would gladly die fighting for you. She also loves to read all kinds of books, she listens to music almost constantly because it helps her focus on a task outside of combat, and she fights with all her heart but makes sure to throw in curve balls to throw others off their game, she is a vary passionate woman and is not someone to take lightly.

Aura and Semblance: Color: Crimson Red
Spectral Foxes: standing three feet tall and four feet long and weighing a staggering sixty pounds, these large foxes that can knock over and kill a full grown Ursa minor if they tried, they depend on more fast attacks and while they are quick and agile, they don't hit that hard unless they jump or lunge with their weight, Kale can summon between one and five of these specters comfortably during combat but can go up to nine(emergencies use only), spectral dire foxes that have a 5% reduction of her aura pool per fox. The foxes will fight for her and explode on command equivalent to that of a hand grenade (15 Meters= 45 Feet radius), in Kale's bracers are two slots where a small vial of dust can be dispensed on to the foxes and give them different effects(no dust= normal explosion, Fire= Molotov, Ice= Freezing, Lightning= Electric shock, etc.), but Kale has to mentally control foxes at all times or run the risk of them exploding without warning. When using semblance her hair and tale glow pure white but start dimming over time. As an alternative when Kale is not in combat she can have one fox with half the instant aura drain of while in combat(2.5% drain + a 1%/hour drain) this fox won't explode, instead is just dismissed out of existence, that is not to say it won't attack if provoked (look at companion at the end).

Combat Behavior: Kale has always preferred her sword or axe to the shotgun but she does not shy from using it when it will make life harder for her enemy's, but she will probably be using her sword trying to keep in close to give the enemy as little time to react as possible, she is very adaptable so she always carries around a few of each type of crystal, fire she uses as either a way of distracting or as a direct attack, ice she uses to create a small ice field(think Weiss in season two when she trips up roman in the paladin on the highway), lightning she will throw at enemies to shock them for a few seconds, earth she uses as either a temporary shield by crushing the crystal in her hand and letting the stone cover her hand but this has one drawback, until the stone is broken her hand is useless, or she slams it into the ground creating a five foot tall three foot thick stone tower, and if she runs out of crystals she has a few grenades that she uses, but when it comes to a gunfight she could be easily out matched so she tries to stay close where her speed and agility help her the most or she will use her semblance to throw her enemy's off while she gets in close for the strike, because of her time in the White Fang she knows how to work in groups .

WEAPON

Name: Crimsonfang

Primary Form: A black three foot, blade with an unexplained crimson glow, which can be sheathed in a black scabbard on her left hip.

Secondary Form: The blade folds into a black hand-axe with the blade pointed on the bottom tip, the blade and now the handle glowing a soft crimson red.

Tertiary Form: The blade folds even further until it's a black, lever-action, sawed-off shotgun that holds six shots before needing to reload, with the blade becoming a crimson glowing sight and handle.

Dust Functions: Kale makes her own shells for her shotgun this includes, wind she uses to push her enemies off balance or on their asses, fire just to add a burn to her normal shells, ice can create a thick layer of ice on an opponent possibly immobilizing them, propulsion used for increasing her jump height if she needs to get higher, electric acts like a stun gun for a few seconds, and wind+propulsion she uses this in the same manner as both of the separate elements but with increased effects.

History: During her time as a guardsman for her father he taught her how to design and build her own weapon, once she was done with the weapon it obtained a soft crimson glow that no one could explain. That night her father took her and her friends out hunting for Grimm knowing there was a pack not to far from the village but they were ambushed by the very pack they were tracking. The first Beowolf ,one with large fangs, attacked her father catching him by surprise knocking him to the ground but the Kale was to well trained and she quickly killed the beowolf with a thrust through the thought, as she did the crimson glow brightened then dimmed back down. The rest of the beowolfs attacked the young teens who quickly fended them off with a mix of swords, ranged, and semblances Kale took out three more before the fight was over only one of the kids dies that night she was hit from behind and had the back of her neck ripped out by a Beowolf. that night all of the teens who hadn't named their weapons yet finally thought of names, Kale thought of the Grimm she killed with large fangs and the weapons glow deciding on the name Crimsonfang.

SUBWEAPONS

Flashbang Types: Kale can create two types of flashbangs one is just normal light and sound, but the other is FB#13 a mix of her own design it essentially a super loud and bright flashbang that has propulsion dust added to it to blow people back into walls or each other.
 
Grenade Types: Kale can also create a few types of grenades, NP#2 a napalm grenade that covers a small area in fire for about one minute, FTG#13 a fire tornado grenade it combines wind with fire and propulsion that creates a small tornado that burns anything it picks up, ISG#40 an ice storm grenade that mixes ice and wind to create a small storm that shoots ice around(think RWBY episode 1 when Glynda enters the fight)

Boot Knifes: In each of Kale's boots she has three boot knives, two of them are made for throwing while the other two are for melee combat.

COMPANION

Name: Aria (Kale's decision)

Appearance: Standing three foot tall and four feet long and weighing 65 pounds, Aria closely reassembles a real fox although taller and longer, she is the non exploding half of Kale's semblance and has one main difference from a fox, her fur has a soft crimson glow but it is almost not noticeable to anyone not looking and as long as she stays out of the dark.

Personality: When not being directly controlled by Kale, Aria is quite playful and curious but that can get her into trouble if she breaks something or hurts someone, at other times she is quite lazy and likes to sleep or just lounge around, she often is considered Kale's fun side and in truth is an imitation of her playful self that she tries to hide but most of the time she fails, but Aria is not a weakling and will rip out the throat of any one she feels is going to kill Kale.
