The Student Body President...and a Psychopath?
A young man walked...no, it was more of a leisurely, relaxed, and confident movement...more like a stroll...he strolled down the hallway. He was dressed as if he had just come back from a wedding, a pure starch white suit, black dress shoes, and a green shirt underneath his suit. His pocket was swollen from his tie that he had hastily taken off, the first chance he had and stuffed into there. He had light blonde hair and was skinny, but not overly-so. He appeared to be of average weight, no muscles, fat, or visible ribs. He smiled and waved at everyone who walked past him, be it a teacher, fellow student, or even the lowly janitor...and everyone returned it.
In honest fact this was his normal clothing. Shoes, ties, suits, shirt, everything. He was high-class and everybody knew it just from a first glance at him and that was what he wanted. He knew about how to become popular and one of the first things you had to do was make sure people know how great you are, but you still had to be with them...still had to smile and wave at them as you pass by them in the hall. Even if it was all fake. And this boy was popular...he was currently the student body president...much to Lord Death's protests...Lord Death could apparently see through his facade and didn't like the facade...but nonetheless it was the students who voted who was the student body president. And Semper won by an outstanding percentage...over 70% of the students voted for him...he wanted more, he wanted to completely crush his competition leave them with nothing but their own vote (but he would've preferred if he could've gotten that one as well), however, some of them refused to vote for him.
Speaking of which, here came one of them now. "I'm walking here!" shouted a girl as she brashly pushed another student out of her way and to the side. She was dressed in stark contrast to the regal Semper. She was dressed in simple jeans, a tank-top, even a jacket, and to top it all off she also wore combat boots. She had short, yet bright red hair with black undertone. Under her bangs were two gray eyes. The kid she just yelled at was shivering on the ground terrified.
Semper smirked an dragged his tie out of his pocket and quickly put it back around his neck. It was time for him to work his magic. He charged upwards to the girl and the student who was ruthlessly pushed to the ground. He extended his hand to the fallen student and helped him back to his feet. "Rhya," scolded Semper turning to her and staring at her, "You can't just push other students around and to the ground!" Semper turned back to the fallen student, "I apologize on behalf of my fellow student...she really didn't mean, hurry on to your next class." The student nodded and raced off.
Semper and Rhya began to immediately argue loudly. When the young student turned the corner, both of them calmed down immediately. Semper stopped shouting and began to chuckle. "Thank you, Rhya," he stated. While being someone of high-class and lowering yourself to the same level as them earns some votes...there was one thing that made them like you more...and that was intervening and protecting your fellow students from the bad apples...like Rhya.
Rhya smirked. It was another one of Semper's sly plans. He was a natural-born liar and, even worse then that, politician. His entire life was making a big name for himself and becoming more and more popular as time went on. He never made a mistake in his calculation and as time went on...people began to respect him immensely for what he did...or what they think he did. The two of them were Weapon and Meister, which was probably why Rhya refused to vote for him (which sadly boosted his ratings as nobody wanted to vote for the same person that she voted for), after you got to know him you sort of...kind of...despise him. Not to mention, but the fact that Semper was with Rhya also boosted his ratings with the delinquents. They automatically associated Rhya with Semper, so by supporting Rhya, their friend, they support Semper. There wasn't a single move or effort in Semper's school life that wasn't designed to increase his ratings amongst the students. His partnering with her was just another.
Semper smirked and the two of them began to walk down the hallway, of course, they kept a couple of feet difference in their strides. While Semper liked to be associated with her at some times, he accepted the fact that Rhya wasn't altogether and decided that always being associated together like they were two peas in a pod wasn't the best option, which was why he had his parents pay for two separate houses...one for him and another one for her. And by not altogether...Semper meant to imply that something was definitely missing from her psyche...she was rude, aggressive, loud, insulting, and if you can withstand that for more then two minutes you get to see that she is kind of insane...something Semper didn't know about until after they were partnered...although that just made him seem even better as now he was a proud supporter of the...mentally challenged.
Semper wasn't watching where he was going as he was silently putting the finishing his ideas on his latest scheme to boost his approval rating and he was going to pay for it. He bumped into what at first seemed to be a large solid brick wall. Semper bounced off of it and slammed onto the tiled floor. Semper reached up and grabbed his head to steady it from its rather wild swinging. He looked up at what he had ran into. It was Rick...or as the majority of the student preferred to call him, Brick (of course, some of the other students opted for the more insulting Prick).
"Hey watch where you walking Stickman Semper," shouted Brick as he rubbed his shirt clean. Brick was in complete contrast to Semper. He was a heavyset man probably about 250 pounds and not a single pound of that came from body fat, it was all muscle. He was a champion rugby player at his old school and that only made him a thousand times more popular and more pigheaded at the DWMA. Even worse, for some reason (unknown to Semper), this only seemed to attract women to his aid...as a matter of fact his horde of women that followed him were his weapons...and to date he had a grand total of 12 different weapons...
Semper temporarily frowned, but upon remembering that they were in the presence of voters...he swallowed his pride, stood up, patted himself clean, and bowed. "I am sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." He had to remain the bigger man out of the two, figuratively, and apologizing helped that. However, Brick didn't really care for his apology. He brought his big palm down and on top of his and pushed him down to the ground as he walked past him and towards Rhya, who was standing still as a board a couple of feet back, watching them.
"Hello, there little lady," said Brick as he put his hand on her shoulder. There was a collective moan and gasp, and Semper was sure he heard a couple of cries coming from Brick's large girl-only entourage. "What do you say," continued Brick, "to joining me? I mean a gal like yourself certainly deserves the best...and who is better then me?" Semper almost felt sorry for the guy.
Rhya bent over, opened her mouth, and dug her teeth into Brick's arm. "Do you mind? I have a life over here? You may enjoy living with your harem of mindless drones, but I am not one of those wanna-be barbies and I have no need for a wanna-be Ken! I mean, are you made out of flesh and bones or just plastic? Then again I believe plastic would have a higher IQ and charisma level then you would! I mean seriously? And then you try to touch me with your mizerie* ridden hands? Te gindesti ca densa*?"
"Uh...uh...yes?" stuttered Brick. Semper was trying to stifle a quiet laughter behind him. Brick turned about his face turning a bright red from embarrassment and rage. "Oh, yeah, Stickman Semper!" shouted Brick as he turned about slamming his arm into the back of Semper's head and sending him sprawling forward. "Let's go this is all your fault anyways! I say we should just throw down right here!" He reached his arm out. The girls around him started to wrestle, trying to get ahead of each other. Finally one of them grabbed onto him and transformed into a large blade.
Brick charged forward, swinging his blade downwards upon him. Semper dodged backwards and reached out his hand for Rhya to grab onto and transform into her weapon form. Rhya looked at him like he was the insane one. "What do you want? I'm not one of those hapless idiots following Brick about. Am o viata* and in my life most people have basic manners...so what is the magic word?"
Semper stared at her and thought about, finally deciding that she was right. "Fine...please?" asked Semper. Rhya nodded, her body started to glow a light blue and silver color. She started to disappear and transform into a chain wrapping around and around Semper's arm. Finally the light dispersed leaving a large chain around Semper's arm with a large sickle at the bottom.
Brick charged swinging the sword about and at Semper. Semper ducked letting the blade graze over him, he spun the large chain around and brought the blunt side of the dangerous scythe around and into Brick's side. Brick's body stood strong...he didn't earn his nickname for no reason. Semper stumbled backwards as the force bounced off of Brick and into him. Semper quickly righted his feet and swung out with the chain, bringing the scythe about and towards Brick. Brick brought the sharp sword upwards and slashed it to the side of him, forcing the sickle away from him.
Brick laughed as he brought the sword done upon him. Semper quickly reacted grabbing part of the chain and the chain to absorb the blow and give a little from the force. But the sword slammed into it and it forced the chain downwards and into Semper's chest...Semper was forced to the ground...he let out a brief gasp of air as he thanked the fact that he used the chain to block attack...if it wasn't for the chain that hit him first, the sword would've cut him.
"The staff at this school are pretty ignoranta*," commented Rhya calmly thinking about the surprising lack of teachers or other DWMA staff. The fact that they weren't here was surprising considering the fact that they were making quite a ruckus, but not one of them showed up yet. Semper stopped for a second and examined it as well, interested in the fact that Rhya just brought to his attention.
"Huh," thought Semper out loud as his brain started to work. The little wheels in his head began to turn as he thought about a new way out of this fight. Semper smiled as the thought finished up. He struck out with his chain bringing the sharp end straight around, Brick raised his hand, but the chain wrapped around it and sent the sickle end spinning around and knocking it into the back of Brick's head. Brick grunted as he stood up, he dropped the sword to the ground and reached his arm out again. Once more there was a rush of girls trying to get to him first, finally one of them touched him and began to change into a large golden trident.
Brick charged forward, Semper backed away careful to keep the distance in between them as large as the trident was, his chain was still longer. Semper just needed to redirect them and then he could set up a good victory that way. He dashed backwards...then again a weapon switch would work better, he wasn't too confident that it would work well with a trident. "Come on...I thought we were actually going to get a good work-out...but it turns out as far as a sparring partner goes I would've been better picking a hamster, a snake...or maybe that crazy Shi fellow in our class? I mean, come on... got a hammer or some kind of weapon that could actually hurt me?"
"You want a hammer!" shouted Brick as he tossed the trident aside, ignoring the fact that the weapon was an actual person. "You are gonna get a hammer!" Brick reached out his hand, a collective moan came from the girls as they realized that he only wanted a hammer. One of the girls quickly scrambled forth, transforming into a hammer. Brick charged forward.
Semper dropped Rhya to the ground. The reflection in the sickle was one of understanding rather than worry as she understood what Semper was doing. Brick charged forth swinging his hammer like a mad man. Semper stood still and smiled as the large hammer smashed into him and sent him flying through the door behind him.
Semper landed on the floor loudly. As Brick charged in he was quickly stopped by a group of teachers. "What do you think you are doing?" asked the teachers as they grabbed a hold of Brick. "Attacking a fellow student!" They looked back at Semper as the students rushed up and picked him up, helping him to his feet. "And one that isn't even armed!" Brick looked at Semper who had a foolishly cocky smile on his face. Brick grimaced as he noticed that Semper had intentionally let him knock him backwards and into the gym...he wanted to get by a hammer instead of a trident as well...simply due to the fact that he didn't want to get skewered by the trident's spearheads...Brick shouted at Semper.
Semper simply shrugged and let the students praise him and pamper him. They all coddled him, trying to make him feel better for getting attacked by Brick while he was unarmed. Semper simply smiled as he accepted the praise as he imagined his ratings increasing.
Rhya speaks Romanian and numerous other languages as well...but in this chapter I kept it pretty simple using only Romanian. I do not speak Romanian, so I apologize if any of the words are wrong...I used one of those online translators things (and I do not trust them), here is what she said:
mizerie=Filth
Te gindesti ca densa = Are you dense
Am o viata =I have a life
Semper really pulled a nasty trick out on Brick, didn't he? And, yeah, I'm sorry for anyone who hated Brick and his cronies...I just always imagined that there was probably someone who just attracted weapons and had twenty of them while other Meisters were left with like...none...so, Brick was poking fun at that idea. Anyways, I introduce the next two of the possible pairs Semper and Rhya. Rhya is by Roxanne and Semper by Wiredrawn. Also for those of you who noticed that Shark wasn't submitted by X, congratulations...there was a mix-up when I was copying and pasting them and Shark got registered twice by two different people...after rechecking the submissions I can now firmly say Shark was submitted by Skull Shadow...I apologize.
Also, just for the fun of it here are some interesting facts about the OC's you guys submitted:
-Matching them up with each other is harder than you think (I got a chart going)
-Almost all males are Meisters. About a ratio of 3 Male Meisters to 1 Male Weapon...
-Females aren't much more balanced with a ratio of 2 Female Weapons to 1 Female Meister...
-Most common personality traits are slacker (4 times) and protective (4).
-There is absolutely 0 guns submitted? 0 far ranged weapons (ignoring May) submitted so far? Aren't we a little biased?
