This challenge takes place in the universe of the anime RWBY (it's super awesome, go check it out right now if you haven't watched it before) in the world of Remnant. This word is made up of four kingdoms, but only two matter. Vale is the kingdom where the show takes place, and so will this challenge. Atlas is the technological and militaristic kingdom, and the other two kingdoms don't matter much.
The main characters in this anime are hunters and huntresses. Their job is to protect the kingdoms from the wildlife, which are called Grimm. These beasts are evil and are incredibly hostile to humanity, seeking to destroy them. There are several species, but all of them have similar characteristics. They are all black and white with bony spikes and red eyes. Most of them look similar to animals we know, which include but are not limited to wild boar, bears, scorpions, eagles, snakes, and pegasi.
Hunters and Huntresses are set apart from citizens due to their aura, a projection of their soul, being activated. Rocketracer described it as a "skintight soul forcefield" which is about as accurate as you can get. However, not only does it protect, but it also takes the form of something called a semblance. These semblances are based on a person's personality and can take almost any form. Some in the show itself are speed, magnetism, illusion, absorbing electricity and using it to increase physical strength, creating and controlling explosive clones, and telekinesis.
Hunters and Huntresses also carry powerful weapons that usually have several features. For example, the main protagonists have a sniper scythe, which is exactly what it sounds like, gauntlets that pack a punch and fire explosive projectiles, a gun-sword at the end of a long cord, and sword which is able to harness simple elemental powers through an energy source known as dust. Other weapons can harness it's power in the form of crystals or ammo as well.
One last thing. There are a species of humanoids with slight animal bits, like tails, ears, claws, horns, etc. These beings are called Faunas, and are looked down on by many. They can be hunters or huntresses as well as humans.
Now that I've got the background info out of the way, it's time for profile guidelines.
First, all profiles must be approved by either me or Rocketracer.
For Bionicle PCs, no makuta, and all characters must be standard. For example, a toa can have one element, one mask, RWBY level tech, etc. No crazy kanoka tech like intangibility armor.
For RWBY PCs, you need all the basic stuff for a character plus a semblance. There's a wiki if you need information.
So far there will be five canon characters in this RP, played by myself and Rocketracer. I will be playing Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long, and RR will be playing Blake Belladonna, Weiss Schnee, and Roman Torchwick.
IC: For Bionicle RPCs:
At first, you cannot see anything. As your eyes adjust, you begin to notice a faint light coming from far off, along with very faint sounds of machinery and voices. As you take in your surroundings you begin to make out buildings on either side of you, reaching upwards into darkness.
For Hunter/Huntress RPCs:
You wake up in your dorm at Beacon Academy, a training school for future hunters and huntresses. A notification on your scroll (transparent smartphone) reminds you that today is the day when the training missions are posted.
