nightelf37: So, I thought of going with the RWBY craze, but unfortunately, I got too many fics on my plate to start one of my own outright (it will feature OCs during the events of RWBY), so I'm gonna do this; pluck a character from another work and pop them 'here' as a RWBY character. Huntress/Huntsman weapon, attire, alternate history, the works. Unfortunately for you guys, I won't be starting with a popular character. Instead, I'll begin with an obscure character, which will probably also serve as an 'advertisement' to where she comes from.
Now let's begin.
Crossover Huntresses (and Huntsmen)
Fictional Work: Iji, by Remar Games
Character: Iji Kataiser
Name: Iji Kataiser
(In the world of Remnant, color themes in names is apparently the norm. However, that doesn't mean everybody follows the trend, as I've done with Iji.)
Gender: Female
Backstory: Atlas has a secret Technology Division that is researching on alternate methods of killing Grimm apart from the use of Dust. Iji was a test subject in one of their projects. The end result was the first ever weapon to have more than three settings (which was the maximum for any Huntsman weapon to date). After a couple of test runs to see if the weapon was a capable Grimm-killer, the Division decided to have Iji enrolled into Beacon to see if the new weapon can be commissioned to the military.
Appearance: (Appearnaces may be changed from their canon ones, so as to fit with the world of Remnant. It won't always be the case, though.)
Her brown hair is long and loosely kept, her eyes are similarly colored, and she stands 6 feet 3 inches tall. She wears a green sleeveless shirt, dark long shorts, and white socks with her weapon-boots. Her symbol, which is pinned on her shirt, is a row of vertical rectangles complemented with squares that form the word "Iji".
Personality: Iji's a never-give-up girl who is a friendly fellow outside of combat, though the prefers to be on her lonesome. When fighting however, she has a… strange behavioural condition when it comes to her enemy thanks to a traumatic incident during her childhood. When up against human or Faunus foes, she's reluctant in fighting them, but will take them down when push comes to shove. Against Grimm, she turns into a rampager who revels in killing every single one of them in sight.
Weapon(s): One, she has the weapon given to her by the secret Atlas Science Division; the "Nanogun". It resembles a large blocky black firearm that needs to be held with two hands, but it has an unbelievable number of settings crammed into it thanks to the technology behind its creation. For safety and personal reasons, Iji only uses a few of them at a time. While it somehow doesn't use Dust, the Nanogun has a chamber for Dust canisters for additional effects. All settings are more powerful than the last and can overheat the Nanogun, rendering it unusable for a long while.
1. "Air shotgun" setting. Fires a blast of painful 'air bullets' to the target. Perfect for non-Grimm battles, but a point-blnk shot can still blow a hole through a Grimm's body. Iji often defaults to this setting in combat.
2. "Machine gun" setting. Also has a "buster gun" option, which give it the same spread as the "air shotgun" setting. Iji uses this when the fight is mid-to-long range.
3. "Missile launcher" setting. Fires a non-homing missile. Also as a "spread" option, which. Iji uses this on occassion against tough Grimm or mechas.
4. "Resonance" setting. Comes in two options; "pushback" and "mirror". "Pushback" blows back anything close to her. Also useful in breaking down doors. "Reflector" sends any projectile that doesn't have the speed of a bullet back to its owner. Iji resorts to the reflector when she refuses to have to kill her opponent outright.
5. "Pulse gun" setting. Shoots a stream of energy that sears its target but cannot affect non-living matter except for armor. Also has a "hyper" mode which can affect aforementioned non-living matter and has the additional pushing effect. With Fire Dust, this can become a flamethrower.
6. "Shocksplinter" setting. Launches a single red projectile that explodes on impact into "fragments", which create additional explosions, maximising damage. Also has a "splintergun" option, which launches these fragments outright, but has much less range than the "shocksplinter".
7. "Fission bomb" setting. Launches a single blue straight-flying sphere of explosive energy capable of sending a giant Nevermore flipping. However, the recoil is too strong for Iji and it knocks her down if she isn't braced enough.
8. "Nuke" setting. Creates a humongous explosion spanning a 1-meter radius around Iji. It's so dangerous she's advised not to use it around allies as the nuke "ignores" only her.
9. "Plasma cannon" setting. Shoots a quick and straight red laser blast capable of passing through physical barriers (without smashing through them), but can be stopped by barriers out of energy, Dust, or Semblance. Locked.
10. "Lightning ray" setting. Fires a straight ray of lightning energy with the same piercing qualities as the "plasma cannon". Also has a "Velocithor" setting that increases its power and pierces EVERYTHING. The only downside is that a lot of energy has to be built up to be able to fire consistently and can overheat the Nanogun very fast. Locked.
?. "Banana" setting. Launches a single banana-shaped grenade that explodes spectacularly after a couple of seconds. Locked.
In the event she loses her Nanogun or the enemy is too way close for her to use it, she can fall back to her secondary weapon; a large pair of greaves with a firing mechanism built into them for powerful knockbacks.
Semblance: Retribution. When on her last legs and defensive Aura nearly depleted, Iji can unleash a mighty blast of Aura from her body, extending far and blowing back anything she deems her foe. This is capable of killing all but the strongest Grimm and even depleting most Auras from the damage.
Fighting Style: Iji's a gunslinger first and foremost, using the various settings on her Nanogun. She is also moderately fast on her feet, enabling her to dodge quite easily. Due to the side of her weapon, she does not "punch" with it, instead using kicks to gain distance from her opponents.
Hobbies/Interests: cracking (technology), diplomacy
Dislikes: fighting non-Grimm, having to kill them
nightelf37: I'm willing to take suggestions, but I don't have that exclusive knowledge of animé save the popular ones, almost none regarding tabletop games (so no Exalted,D&D, Warhammer 40K, etc.), very little regarding manga, not a lot of western cartoons (let's not do ponies, even though I'm writing a fic with them), and not much of the video games in higher consoles. Otherwise, I'll probably do a Puella Magi next.
And I promise the Weapon(s) segment won't be as long for any future profiles. I just needed to get all of Iji's weapons out of the way. I know she seems to be overpowered, but these are not OCs; Iji really has/can have all those weapons, having to fight through her game all by herself. No allies save a mission control, and they can die too. But enough spoilers on her game.
Please use the following template when suggesting a character. No OCs allowed. Make sure to reference where the character originally came from.
Fictional Work: (Where the character comes from.)
Character: (Name of the character.)
Name: (New name for the character, if you're going to make one. Name has to have a color theme, just like Monty Oum says for making RWBY OCs.)
Gender: (Duh.)
Backstory: (Custom backstory befitting Remnant's setting.)
Appearance: (What the character would look like in Remnant)
Personality: (But a different setting may warrant a different persona.)
Weapon(s): (But as per RWBY tradition, these weapons—if they're based on what weapon(s) they canonically have—have to have a 'gun mode' or 'melee mode if they're already a gun. But as with the case of Jaune and the Malachite sisters, you can always have exceptions.)
Semblance: (You should know this if you know RWBY.)
Fighting Style: (How will the fight in Remnant? Same way as in their show/game/book/comic? Slightly different? Berserker? Artful dodger? Defender? Sniper? Tell me.)
Hobbies/Interests: (But a different setting may warrant different likes.)
Dislikes: (But a different setting may warrant different hates.)
Tell me what else I should add if these feel too short. See ya on Third!
