nightelf37: Entry number two, the Soldier, coming up! The world of Remnant belongs to Rooster Teeth. and Team Fortress 2 belongs to Valve.


Fictional Work: Team Fortress 2

Character: The Soldier

Name: Livius "Jane Doe" Schofield

(Livius is a Roman family name which may be related to either Latin liveo "to envy" or lividus "blue, envious". Sure, Soldier's an American, but what can you do? Schofield is derived from Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield, an American character from a book series by the author Matthew Reilly.)

Gender: Male

Backstory: Livius comes from Mistral, and has attempted numerous times to sign up for the military. However, his mental instability resulted in him being rejected each time. It was the height of the Faunus Rights Revolution, and he was all too eager to participate, so despite having no prior experience in weapon-crafting, he was able to construct his own rocket launcher (which he made modifications to emulate Huntsman weapons later) and took part. He ended up being one of the most feared pro-Human fighters in the war, though Livius doesn't really give a damn; he's just patriotic for Mistral.

He did fight for a few months after the war ended before a retainer of the Hale family invited him to join Team Fortress, lured with not only a contract, but a couple of other things not many bribers would use.

Appearance: Livius is a human with a muscular physique fitting for a military man, a short stubble, and a buzz-cut underneath his blue ill-fitting helmet. He wears customized blue military fatigues, a bandolier for holding grenades, dark trousers, waterproof boots, a leather belt, two pouches on them for extra stuff, and a few customized badges.

Personality: Livius is an insane, loud, trigger-happy, fighter always itching for battle. Thankfully, he has managed to make friends in his team, in particular forging a strong bond with the Demolition Man, Fionnlagn Black, and the two have moderately less property-wrecking fistfights. He often tries to make the battle plans, but he's often tricked into leaving the room before the real plan is set by the others. He also doesn't give a crap about the Human-Faunus conflict; what matters to him is that they're capable of fighting.

Weapon: Livius's weapon has the basic form of a rocket launcher, which launches single rockets with various Dust inside them depending on his needs. He can load multiple rockets at a time for them to fire in a spread. Its melee form looks like a club or bat in basic form, but the two extra blades that inexplicably form themselves so that the whole thing vaguely resembles a shovel.

Unlike other explosive weapon hybrids, his weapon cannot use its explosives in its melee form to add recoil to his jumps, thus requiring him to alternate between forms on the fly, which he's thankfully very adept with. His method for getting into the air is via a technique called the "rocket jump", which he discovered while jumping over a foe sliding under him and firing a rocket at him, and thus sending him into the air.

Semblance: Livius's Semblance is Leg Guard, which allows him to do the "rocket jump" without any harm or pain to his lower body.

Fighting Style: Livius's strategy is "attack!, attack!, attack!", but he has rare moments of brilliance, being able to utilize his "rocket jump" to traverse places as fast as or even faster than those with Speed-based Semblances, although this form of travel requires the force of an explosion against his body, so it's not viable in wide open spaces. He's also fond of attacking foes from above by either a rocket or bringing his weapon down on their heads.

Hobbies/Interests: Mistral, fighting, killing, explosions, "military machoism", animals

Dislikes: hippies, long hair, being called a civilian


nightelf37: It's harder to write a RWBY weapon than it looks, okay? I had a hard time for this one. See ya on Third!
