The World of Remnant is a dark place, it's a world in which humanity is currently being pushed to the brink of extinction with only four major cities left remaining, called kingdoms. the people of this desolate world hide from Demons made from fear and sadness.The people of this world call the demons Grimm. To hide from the Grimm the people of the world built their kingdoms and hid behind walls. But the forces of fear and power are always trying to form cracks in these walls.At the moment though, there's a tenuous peace in the world. Grimm are held back, evil plans are thwarted and the people are kept happy, because even though the Grimm strike the walls of the kingdoms every day, they are always beaten back by the protectors of the world, the Hunters and Huntresses. The guardians of all that is good and innocent. They are the paragons of humanity and you... Are not one of them. No you're just a civilian, one of those who hide behind the walls, and don't have to worry about the monsters just beyond the walls. But today? Today that will all change ,for this day is this day the Grimm will finally force their way through the walls that are keeping the humans and faunus safe. For today is the final match of the Vytal festival. The tournament that happens every 2 years to celebrate unity among the four kingdoms, The most important players in this game will be there. Will you crack under the pressure? or will you survive
Inside the Amity Colosseum, up high in the air above the city of Vale, an audience member jolts to awakening, having fallen asleep while waiting for the next match. That audience member is you, you stand up from your seat and stretch your arms up above your head to get the kinks out of your back. You turn to your family, the one you arrived with from

You find a side door that leads into the hallways of the Colosseum and throw yourself through them ,desperate to get out of the mass of bodies.You take a deep breath, and then begin your search for a sign that will help you find your way to the nearest restroom. After several minutes searching through back hallways and doubling back away from dead ends you finally come to a stop before a pair of color coded doors and enter the

After taking a quick 360 look to make sure no one was watching you literally kick yourself into a higher gear.The gears that made up your legs went into overdrive before you took of in a sprint through the tunnels.Hopefully they will lead you to the stadium once more. You traveled from Vacuo to Vale so you could watch this tournament in person and you were not going to miss the final fight because you took too long staring at yourself in the restroom…
Your life had had something of a… rocky start. You were created from the loneliness of a con-man who was hiding in the desert while he had a gun to his head. When you were born you were immediately thrown into a fight for your life and freedom.

Your father was a mix of a mad scientist and a cowboy and had been called many times "the perfect picture of a crazed Vacuan smuggler", He wore what he called "Cowboy hats" and used spurs he attached to his boots to kick people that pissed him off. He always kept his pattented "Dust-Volver" in a bag that never left his person and spoke in a strange accent that he said had developed from his time in Menagerie, even if you didn't completely believe him. He was born in Atlas and was known as one of the more… Eccentric scientists. He tended to experiment with robots and aura more than anyone like and was he was chased out of Atlas for performing one of his… unapproved experiments. In order to escape the Atlas secret police he had to flee all the way to the Vacuo deserts. Once he was sure he had escaped them for the moment he changed his name to Helio Bolt and joined up with a gang who called themselves the "Sand Wraiths" in exchange for protection from the Atlas government, who were presumably still searching for him. According to your father he traveled the desert with the Sand Wraiths for many years, being their "Tech Guy". That meant he spent his time breaking into safes, repairing shattered gadgets and making new weapons on occasion. He said it was a good life, but not a safe or sustainable one.
At the end of his first year with The sand Wraiths the leader had an "Accident" and a new leader was chosen. After many fights to determine who was strongest a leader was chosen. He was a rude faunus who had a vendetta against all Atlesians for some wrong that happened decades ago. He had your Father thrown into a cell with a bunch of scrap and told him to work or die. Locked in a cell and threatened by those he had called friends for almost a year, your father worked. He created hundreds of items and fixed thousands more, all the time plotting his revenge. He knew he would not be able to escape on his own,and no one in the camp would betray the Sand Wraiths for him. So he decided he would make his own help. Every moment he wasn't working on something for the Sand Wraiths, he was building you. Out of the scraps he found and the extra parts he took from the repairs he made, your father had created a new life, He kept you hidden by lying his ass off and taking you apart before morning came. He worked for 8 months on the chassis and 2 years on the A.I. When he completed his creation he named it

When you awoke for the first time, you had no personality, you were just an empty chassis. You had no motivation, no drive, just the desire to do whatever your father told you to do. Your father didn't mind,he loved his creation, even if it couldn't love him back. You can't remember much of what happened next.Just waking up and then being in a car driving through sand-dunes. Your father had the memory of escaping the bandits erased from your system. When you asked why he got serious. You had seen your father get serious a total of 7 times so you knew this was important. He told you that "You had asked him to forget what had happened" and walked away.He was upset for the rest of the day so you let it slide, but every once in a while, when you did the robot equivalent of sleeping you can here the screams of dying men...
After your escape your father changed his name again, this time to Ryze Sparkz, and started traveling with the kingdom of Vacuo. He started working at the CT tower, and always told you how he enjoyed the fact that if Atlas ever bothered to check on the other towers they would find him right under their nose, but they never did. Your father never did stop conning or stealing from people, though he did tone it down, every time he came home after conning some dumb tourists who thought Vacuo was a nice place and saw you.Well, you could see the guilt in his eyes.He would always take the extra lien he stole and put every single card into improving you in someway, he started by improving your chassis, then your vision module, then adding false skin,and so on and so forth until you looked as real as anyone else in the city of Vacuo. The people of Vacuo knew you as Ryze's worst kept secret. A lot of the smarter people knew you were an android but no one ever made a fuss about it. Only one person ever tried to hack your systems, and when your father found out he called up what you estimate to be 25% of his connections to make the man pay. You never saw the man again.
You would have your second birth a year after escaping the Sand Wraiths, when your father cracked the code to A.I. He had attempted to unlock a robot's aura before of course, but it wasn't until he tried to awaken it with a strange ritual he bought from a gypsie that he got any real results. Sadly with the new knowledge came the understanding off what you did when you were born. You had a near complete mental break-down and your father had to wipe the memory from your data banks. When you next woke up the memory was gone and you watched your father's eyes light up when intelligence started to show in your eyes. After your Aura was awoken you slowly started to develop a personality, your father says that you were always a bit too

By the time you were 7 years old mentally your father met a women who enjoyed his eccentricities and he married her. She was called Crystal and she became as much of a mother to you as your father was a father to you. When your parents met she was a huntress from Mistral who had caught him conning a rich couple and had chased him around the city for several days. She fell for father's "Manly Charm" or so he says, though your mother always rolls her eyes when she hears him say that. She tells you that she married him, because he found her deepest secret, and kept it for her. Together all 3 of you lived in Vacuo for many years, You and your father got closer and once you became 10 years old mentally, your father started bringing you into the tower to teach you how to use the software of the CT tower to your advantage.

For 6 more years, you and your family lived together happily. You enjoyed life in Vacuo, the heat never bothered you because of some modification your father had installed when you were young
(Heat Resistance Mod installed (1 / 1) ) 25% less damage taken from sources of heat
and the people there, while rough in many cases, were no different than any other people, and in some cases were better. In Vacuo, you didn't see nearly as much racism as in Vale or Atlas. Because race didn't factor in, it was all based on strength, if you were strong in Vacuo, then you were considered worthy of the people's respect, and your parents were strong. When you made this revelation, you decided you wanted to see the strongest their was, so you begged, and you pleaded for your parents to take you to see some of the strongest people your age, the huntresses and hunters in training, or more specifically, the Vytal festival.The idea of seeing a gathering of Huntresses and hunters from all four kingdoms was exciting to you. It took some effort but after a month of hinting at what you wanted, your father was the one to crack and buy tickets, your mother laughed lightly when she heard your father had cracked so easily but went along with it. She said she just wanted to see Vale for the first time in ages and that it would be great experience to see the tournament.
You had arrived in Vale at the start of the tournament and had enjoyed the matches you had seen so far, but missing the very last one would be a mistake you wouldn't be able to forgive yourself for. which led to your current predicament and to you sprinting down the inner hallways of the Colosseum and rounding corners with inhuman reaction speed .Hoping to see the door to the stadium so you wouldn't miss the most exciting fight of the year.

"It looks like our first contender is... Penny Polendina from Atlas…"
Hope heard the call for the first fighter to enter the arena over the PA system and tried to push herself to run even faster.She was moving at a record sprint for unenhanced humans,but didn't realize it,to focused on not being late.
she turned the next corner and saw the artificial lights from the main seating area shining through a door at the end of the hall.She ran as fast as she possibly could, going at a hunters speed before bursting into the main seating area, however as she crossed the doors threshold , she realized that her speed was not normal for a human and immediately disabled her mechanically addled speed,which lead to her tripping over herself and face planting into the concrete on the other side.A blush lit up her entire face, not that anyone could see it due to her face being on the concrete,she pulled herself to her feet and looked around, before breathing a sigh of relief,no one had seen what had happened because they were all focused on
"And her opponent will be... Pyrrha Nikos from Beacon!"
As Hope grew older, her father grew more worried about her, he knew he wouldn't always be around to defend his little girl, but the world was a dangerous place, and he wanted his daughter to be protected somehow
"Dad, I don't think installing a napalm blaster into my hands is a good idea…"Sadly his daughter and him didn't see eye to eye when it came to "Necessary force
"What? What's wrong with it, no one will come near you if they know your packing a highly flammable sticky jelly inside your palms"And it was true, she wouldn't get hurt if no one approached her, somewhere in his mind he knew Crystal would be mad at him if she ever heard that sentence though he couldn't figure out why for the life of him
"That's the problem though…"Hope almost whispered "It's hard enough for me to approach people as is, if they know i have an extremely dangerous substance inside me they won't talk to me at all..."Ryze new his daughter had a… rough time… connecting with others, and he had to admit that is was at least partially his fault, he had tried his best to raise the girl by himself for many years before he met Crystal, but in some aspects he was sure he had failed.In order to protect his daughter he had kept her close by most of her life and that had stunted her social growth somewhat.
"Well then i guess i'll just have to hide it well enough that-"
"Dad Please! I don't want any napalm..." Ryze took a step back, his daughter rarely raised her voice at anyone,least of all him, what he was suggesting must be really upsetting her
"I just want-"He looked into her eyes and faltered" It's just that-" He sighed" Alright Hope, no napalm, I only want to make sure your safe when you start going out into the world on your own" Ryze seemed to visibly deflate, confused about how to defend his daughter from the dangerous world
"I know dad, but I can - "Hope seemed to falter as she thought about what to say next, Ryze looked at her, wondering what she was going to say next
"OK, dad, how about a compromise" His eyes seemed to light up at that, some life breathed into them" I admit that I don't know how to fight and that if I was to ever be attacked, I'd be in trouble, so, instead of installing napalm blasters into my hands, or a mini-nuclear warhead, how about I get a weapon and learn how to use it?
Her father seemed to contemplate it,"Hmmm, yes I can see the appeal, I'm assuming you would rather it be relatively less lethal, but if you were ever facing grimm it wouldn't matter…"For the rest of the day, Hope and her father discussed the specifications of her weapon. Hope would push for something non-lethal as a staff while her father would counter with violent and explosive alternatives like bombs, so once again,they compromised.
"Alright So, final decision time Hope, it's either gonna have to be tha grenade launching-baseball bat, or tha Rocket-Spear"Her father looked on in glee as Hope stared at the pair of blueprints laid before her
Hope Sighed, she wasn't sure how he had done it, but her father had managed to trick her into accepting something that caused explosive damage no matter what she picked as a non-lethal,She thought about it for a moment, before picking up the "Rocket-Spear" as her father called it
"I'll take the controlled explosions, "A small smile graced her lips" Thanks for doing all this dad"
In contrast to her small smile,her father had a huge ear-to-ear grin splitting his face as he said "Anything for you darlin, now come help your old man, I need an assistant to help me temper the steel for this beaut"Hope just chuckled softly
For months afterwards, hope and her father worked in his lab on creating the rocket spear,he hammered out plates for the steel-alloy base of the spear, while Hope calculated measurements and adjusted the expanders for the spear, so that the body of the spear would expand to allow rockets to fly out. Then she added a fold-able grip so that she could properly brace against the rockets. The only problem that the duo came across was the ammo, it would need to compress and expand without igniting the fire dust while doing so, it wasn't until after several explosions and many near misses that your father finally cracked the recipe for shrinking rockets, and by the time Hope became 15 years old the Rocket-Spear Dubbed

Day after day, Hope began to train with the rocket spear, due to her own ability to calculate angles and distances within minutes she began to master the rocket launcher aspect pretty quickly, She hit her target head on 2 times out of 5 and hit the target with splash from the rockets the rest of the time, However it was the Spear part that was causing her issues. She kept misjudging the area of the spear, or missing her targets because she lacked the dexterity to properly swing the spear, and the finesse to hit and withdraw at a decent speed. She would fumble the spear when shifting weight from her left to her right,and trip herself up when swinging and advancing. Overall the spear felt awkward in her hand, and she was hitting a brick wall in terms of progress.
On one of these days, Hope's mother was outside while she practiced, Crystal would be helping if she could, but the spear was not her choice of weapon, so she watched. After Hope dropped her spear for the third time because she over adjusted it in her hand Crystal called out to her.
"Hope darling, your problem is in your footwork, you keep stepping too far to the right or over-extending yourself in your forward movements. Hope stopped and looked at her mother in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"It's like..., look come here and i'll show you" Hope walked over to her mother and watched as she began to… dance?
"What a lot of people don't realize" Crystal said as she drew her sword from her back "Is that fighting and dancing have a lot in common" She said as she spun her katana in her right hand. She continued to spin it,switching it from her right hand to her left, the transitions smooth and controlled. With each step and swing of her hands her katana would follow, her weapon becoming an extension of her body as she spun and swooned. Hope couldn't help but see invisible opponents all around her mother, she weaved between her non-existent attackers with grace and poise, like a ballet-dancer of death. Each movement measured and calculated, all with a defined Confidence that Hope wished she had. Eventually the entrancing dance came to an end and your mother lowered her sword to her side and released a deep breath..
"So, do you wish to learn to dance?"She asked her daughter with a light smile on her lips
"More than anything" Hope replied, completely serious
Her mother chuckled and said, "Then let us begin with…"
6 months later, Hope thrusted her spear into her target with a new grace and realized, the spear didn't feel awkward in her hands anymore..

"It looks like our first contender is... Penny Polendina from Atlas…"
Hope heard the call for the first fighter to enter the arena over the PA system and tried to push herself to run even faster.She was moving at a record sprint for unenhanced humans,but didn't realize it,to focused on not being late.
she turned the next corner and saw the artificial lights from the main seating area shining through a door at the end of the hall.She ran as fast as she possibly could, going at a hunters speed before bursting into the main seating area, however as she crossed the doors threshold , she realized that her speed was not normal for a human and immediately disabled her mechanically addled speed,which lead to her tripping over herself and face planting into the concrete on the other side.A blush lit up her entire face, not that anyone could see it due to her face being on the concrete,she pulled herself to her feet and looked around, before breathing a sigh of relief,no one had seen what had happened because they were all focused on
"And her opponent will be... Pyrrha Nikos from Beacon!"

(Rocket Jump Waltz)
(Rocket Jump Waltz)
As Hope grew older, her father grew more worried about her, he knew he wouldn't always be around to defend his little girl, but the world was a dangerous place, and he wanted his daughter to be protected somehow
"Dad, I don't think installing a napalm blaster into my hands is a good idea…"Sadly his daughter and him didn't see eye to eye when it came to "Necessary force
"What? What's wrong with it, no one will come near you if they know your packing a highly flammable sticky jelly inside your palms"And it was true, she wouldn't get hurt if no one approached her, somewhere in his mind he knew Crystal would be mad at him if she ever heard that sentence though he couldn't figure out why for the life of him
"That's the problem though…"Hope almost whispered "It's hard enough for me to approach people as is, if they know i have an extremely dangerous substance inside me they won't talk to me at all..."Ryze new his daughter had a… rough time… connecting with others, and he had to admit that is was at least partially his fault, he had tried his best to raise the girl by himself for many years before he met Crystal, but in some aspects he was sure he had failed.In order to protect his daughter he had kept her close by most of her life and that had stunted her social growth somewhat.
"Well then i guess i'll just have to hide it well enough that-"
"Dad Please! I don't want any napalm..." Ryze took a step back, his daughter rarely raised her voice at anyone,least of all him, what he was suggesting must be really upsetting her
"I just want-"He looked into her eyes and faltered" It's just that-" He sighed" Alright Hope, no napalm, I only want to make sure your safe when you start going out into the world on your own" Ryze seemed to visibly deflate, confused about how to defend his daughter from the dangerous world
"I know dad, but I can - "Hope seemed to falter as she thought about what to say next, Ryze looked at her, wondering what she was going to say next
"OK, dad, how about a compromise" His eyes seemed to light up at that, some life breathed into them" I admit that I don't know how to fight and that if I was to ever be attacked, I'd be in trouble, so, instead of installing napalm blasters into my hands, or a mini-nuclear warhead, how about I get a weapon and learn how to use it?
Her father seemed to contemplate it,"Hmmm, yes I can see the appeal, I'm assuming you would rather it be relatively less lethal, but if you were ever facing grimm it wouldn't matter…"For the rest of the day, Hope and her father discussed the specifications of her weapon. Hope would push for something non-lethal as a staff while her father would counter with violent and explosive alternatives like bombs, so once again,they compromised.

Embarrassed at having tripped and fallen, but grateful for that no one except her family had seen it, Hope pushed herself fully to her feet and jogged over to her parents. Hope's father was chuckling merrily while your mother immediately began to check your face for damage, asking
"Oh, does it hurt anywhere dear?"
Hope's father, who was sitting in the seat on the other side of the Hope, rubbed her on the back and told his wife, "She's fine, she just slowed down too fast!, lucky no one saw that, it is. Yah gotta be more careful while we're in public You're alright aren't yah?
Hope thought about it before nodding her affirmation
"See? She's fine!,now stop prodding her face woman and let her enjoy the fight"
Crystal gave her husband "The Look".Ryze recoiled and Crystal smirked before giving Hope one more look over and sighing
"If your sure you're alright, then I'll stop bugging you.
Hope Smiled lightly, "I'm fine mom don't worry about it"
Crystal smiled in return and the whole family turned their attention back to the fight, where the honorifics were just finishing up.The countdown begins
"3"
Hope sat up in her seat
"2"
A smile began to grow on Hope's face
"1"
Hope's eyes widened in anticipation
"Begin!"
As one the fighters fly towards each other and the crowd went up in cheers even Hope, who was normally very subdued, gave a cheer as loud as she could before a blush crossed her face and she began to cheer at a quarter of the volume of her first cheer. The two fighters swung their weapons with lightning fast speed, their weapons pinging off each other with a fury as they struggled to land a hit on one another. Each time an aura fell on the screen Hope's excitement would rise "This, This is what a huntress looks like" She whispered to herself as the duel continued. As time went on though, Hope could see that the invincible girl is being pushed back under the onslaught of the newcomer, The thought of such an upset fills Hope with anticipation, the idea that one of the undefeated fighters of the world being defeated by a newcomer is an amazing prospect and Hope watch with unabated attention. Nikos is pushed into a corner and knocked onto her back, Hope watch excitedly as Penny summons up blades and points them towards Nikos for the finishing blow. Hope watches excitedly as-
A gasp tears itself free from your her lips as she stares, shocked, Nikos had deflected the blades away from herself and towards Penny which Ripped her into pieces, Hope stares in true horror as a green blood flees from Penny's wounds. Hope can't help but examine the wounds when she sees the blood, there's something strange about her arms "That isn't a human" The words leave her lips without her meaning too, as the fear starts to hit Hope. Hopes lips open to allow more uncontrolled words out "Tha-, thats Another android!" Hope was so close to meeting another of her kind,"and now she's" She falters, " and now she's- she's- dead..."The words leave you in a whisper. Your father recovers first, his face grim as he grabs you and turns you away from the scene,"Don't look darlin, it ain't for you to see" At this point several people in the audience started to scream and attempt to leave but stop when they hear something over the P.A.
//Roll to keep composure DC 40 + 40 (First death in person) - 20 (Father & Mother) DC 60
This is not a tragedy. This was not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust, your safety, your children, to men who claim to be our guardians, but are, in reality, nothing more than men.Our Academies' Headmasters wield more power than most armies, and one was audacious enough to control both.
Hope can't stop looking at the body, the words "she's dead" keep playing through her mind on repeat, Hope wants to scream, yell, cry, anything but… To the left of her is her mother, fists clenched and trembling but putting on a calm face,"If she can do that, than so can i."
They cling to this power in the name of peace, and yet, what do we have here? One nation's attempt at a synthetic army, mercilessly torn apart by another's star pupil. What need would Atlas have for a soldier disguised as an innocent little girl? I don't think the Grimm can tell the difference.
To Her Right, Hope's Father stands their looking unbelievably angry,He turns to Hope, and his expression softens, he slips his hand into hers and says "It's gonna be alright, don't worry your pretty little head about it."
And what, I ask you, is Ozpin teaching his students? First a dismemberment, now this? Huntsmen and Huntresses should carry themselves with honor and mercy, yet I have witnessed neither.Perhaps Ozpin felt as though defeating Atlas in the Tournament would help people forget his colossal failure to protect Vale when the Grimm invaded its streets. Or perhaps this was his message to the tyrannical dictator that has occupied an unsuspecting kingdom with armed forces. Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue as to who is right and who is wrong. But I know the existence of peace is fragile, and the leaders of our kingdoms conduct their business with iron gloves.
Hope looks forward at the body once more, her artificial heart pounding in her chest, she looks at the blood that has been wrongfully spilled then back up to the disguised coward on the screen

Looking more closely she examined Emerald and Pennies movements,emotional states,reactions and more,but found no correlation, but on cross referencing the same set of information with the invincible girls emotions and reactions She found that each twitch of Emerald's head and hands lead to an equal reaction on Phyrra's part. The reality of the matter hit her, this was a Set-up, Hope went to examine the fight between Mercury and Yang but was suddenly yanked out of her analysis state by her father,

"We need to go!, NOW!"
Looking past her dad she saw 3 giant Nevermores had entered the arena and several more were approaching.Behind the flock of nevermore what looked like a never-ending amount of Griffons were fast approaching. While she was busy analysing her data, the three original Nevermores had shattered the topmost layer of shielding and had entered the arena, two were fighting a group of hunters and huntresses on the field, while one was…
One was battering at the force-field in between the stadium and the arena. Her father grabbed her by the hand and started dragging her towards the exit which was filled with panicking attendees attempting to escape.Her father dragged her through the crowd, a steel grip on her hand keeping them from being split up by the crowd. Hope did her best to keep up with her fathers mad dash through the crowd,he was pushing and shoving people out of the way as he pulled Hope through the path he formed, hoping to escape the madness of the arena,Eventually the pair escaped through the front off the Colosseum and towards the waiting air buses when a sound ripped through the air
"FSHHHHHHHH" the loud shattering of the force-field inside the stadium echoing for hundreds of yards around, the sound brought with it a single dangerous thought,that Hope almost wished she hadn't had
"Dad, Where's mom!"
"She stayed behind darlin, said she'd buy us some more time to escape" Hope heard the regret in his voice, but her mind was to busy spiraling, her mother has been retired for 6 years and their were way to many Nevermores approaching to fight and win. From a glance at her father she could tell he was thinking along the same lines.Hope looked toward the airbuses, quickly filling up and preparing to leave, then back at the Colosseum where her mother was going to risk her life

Hope looked towards the air bus and the many civilians waiting to get a ride and thought about listening to her mother, Just jumping on the bus and leaving all the danger behind. She Then thought about how she would feel every night after that,every moment she would spend thinking about how she had the chance to save her mother, and didn't. Of course there was the possibility that her mom would be fine, but what if she wasn't? What if she… Hope didn't want to live her life with the regret of abandoning her mother in her time of need. Hope turned towards her dad who was watching her think and she spoke.

" Dad We have to go back for her!"
"We can't darling, your mother wanted both you and i to go"
"I don't care, We can't abandon her, She helped raise me and i can't just let her fight alone!"
"I know how yah feel darlin' but your mother can handle herself well enough, if we don't go now we could get killed or left behind. I know how to fight pretty well but you've been training for a year and yah barely know how to swing Hyperion around. It would help your mother more if she knew we were safe rather than us coming to rescue her and then getting in trouble ourselves. It's better if she doesn't end up having to defend both herself and us.If we go now then we can meet up with her later, i'm sure the arena's been evacuated by now and she's on her way here right now"
"But what if she can't handle it dad!, What if she was overwhelmed! She's been retired for years and you saw how many Nevermores their were!"
"I know darlin' but -" Hope cut him off, she knew this was a low blow but it might be the only way to convince her father
"Dad, how are you going to feel if she gets killed today when we could've done something, you always say the Sparkz stick together, and i need you to stick to your word on that, MOM needs you to stick to your word…. Please Dad. Maybe isn't good enough right now"
"I -,..." He sighs deeply, " Your mother is gonna kill me if we get out of this alive" He adjusts his Vacuan cowboy hat and draws a revolver from a hidden compartment on his bag.
"Well, lets go make sure your mother is alright"
And with that, the two Sparkz family members charge back into the stadium as the first air-bus takes off behind them,leaving civilians on the island with a promise to return and pick up more passengers
// Hope's Cha Roll : 57 + 15 = 72, Bare Pass //
The two of them sprint forward through the dark hallways of the colosseum, Hope isn't sure why the power went out, but it could not be a good thing .Luckily it only seemed to be the light grid, if it was the whole stadium then the thrusters would go out and they would all plummet to their death.Hope shivered at the dark thoughts and focused on running. The sound of shooting and fighting echoed through the hallways and The two Sparkz followed the sound back to its source, as they sprinted by the sounds died out around them until only the sound of a sword deflecting blows and Nevermore death rattles echoed through the halls. That sound died to a full minute before the pair burst out into the now trashed stadium.
//The state of Hope's mother, above 40 is alive//
The entirety of the arena was completely destroyed. The decaying bodies of Nevermores and Griffons littered the stands and main arena, while chairs were torn from their bolts and tossed haphazardly around the open space. All around the two civilians giant black feathers were impaled into walls and floor tiles and even a few objects that Hope refused to look at, but was sure were corpses. Somehow the arena lights still had power even though they were flickering dangerously. The arena itself seemed to be locked in a forest form with a clearing in the center. In the middle of the clearing a veritable circle of decaying Grimm lay dead, all of their corpses surrounding a Very Familiar women covered in black and red blood.
"MOM!" Hope sprinted down the stairs before her father could stop her and she hopped the fence that separated the arena from the stands. She dropped 10 feet and her feet hit the fake forest floor hard enough to cause Hope to stumble momentarily before continuing through the false trees and towards the collapsed figure.. Her father ran forward as well but decided to find a safer way to get down instead of making a ten foot drop into the arena.
"Be careful down their Darlin" He called into the forest," Go check on your mother while i find another way down!"He then began to circle around the edge of the arena looking for a safer drop point.
Hope reached the edge of the clearing r at a dead sprint and slid down into kneel next to the body, Hope immediately began checking on the body and confirmed it was her mother. It wasn't looking good, a trickle of blood was escaping from the corner of Crystal's mouth and Hope couldn't detect any breathing, Hope examined her mother's right leg and found it was broken, bent at an unnatural angle. Hope became increasingly worried as she checked each injury and held her breath when she checked for a pulse, desperation in her eyes.
"No.." she felt her world shatter when she found nothing, For a moment she felt dead inside, like she had before her aura was unlocked. Then, right before she could burst into artificial tears and scream to the heavens she felt it. The extremely weak thrumming of a pulse where her hand cradled her mother's neck,Hope held stock still when she felt it before holding her hand in the same spot and moving her other over her mother's lips, she felt the weak intake of air blow over her skin. Hope sobbed a sigh of relief when she felt it and collapsed onto her mother's form.
// Crystal's survival Roll : 41 //
She went to yell something to her dad who was still making his way around the edge of the stadium looking for a way down when she heard it.
Encounter Roll : 7 (Eeesh)
"Hey you!, stay exactly where you are" Hope heard the voice from behind her and stiffened, she turned around slowly to face it's owner
It was a group of three people carrying rifles and pistols with grimm masks that left their lower faces exposed."White Fang" echoed through her mind. They had appeared from the forest and were standing right at the edge of it.They were a good 20 feet from her. The one who had spoken was standing in between the other two, spinning a pistol in his left hand casually. He stood there with a grin on his face, as if he had just told a funny joke. The only thing that made him stand out from the other 2 was that he had a plate of grimm armor attached to his shoulder like a shoulder pad and a fluffy tail that marked him as a monkey faunus.
"I'm surprised to see a civilian here. in fact why are you even here?"Hope opened her mouth to respond but was cut off when her waved a hand "actually don't awnser that i don't care "He laughed lightly at his own joke" You see, I'm supposed to be checking through this stadium for any gear left by those idiot hunters and huntresses, and what do I find here but a bunch of stupid civies who didn't think to leave for the airbusses when the grimm arrived." He snapped his fingers and the two soldiers behind him took aim at Hope and her mother "I really did think this whole trip would be boring but here we are"
"I don't know what you two were doing that would get you injured like that and I don't particularly care. You see, normally I don't bother with killing civilians, but we can't have anyone knowing we were here. If we had the time i would even play a game in which you could earn your survival,but sadly time is a limiting factor right now and you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time" He shook his head as if he was disappointed
Hope took the moment in which he wasn't talking to get a few words in "I didn't mean to interrupt whatever it is your doing, I just came here to find my mother and now i have. I don't know your names or faces or anything so I can't report you to the police, please just let us leave you won't see us again, I swear!" Hope pleaded, partially with the hope that he would actually listen and partially so her father could finish sneaking around the edge of the arena.
// Ryze Sneak DC = 55 + 10 (Natural Instinct) + 10 ( Several Spotters )
Ryze Sneak Roll = 73 + 10 ( Family Stick Together ) + 15 ( Moderate Sneaking Skill ) = 98 (Success)
"I already said i don't care why you're here, only matters that you are, and now I can't let you leave" He raised his hand as if to snap again
"Any last words?"
Hope Spoke once more, at barely a whisper "Please, You don't have to do this, just let us go!"
//Cha. Roll With A DC of 70 + 10 (Steel heart) //
"Sorry girly, but I can't do that" Before he could snap his fingers a shot rang out through the arena.
// Cha Roll = 67 + 5 (Cha) - 20( Untrained Charm skill ) = 52 (Fail) //
The Shot seems to catch the WF Lieutenant, as Hope had started calling him in her head, off guard, He spun around at the sound instead of moving out of the way and caught a frosted dust bullet to the knee
"GAHHH!", The faunus shouted as he fell to the ground with blood flowing from the wound.Ice quickly sprouted from the wound and Froze his right leg to the ground. The lieutenant looked into the forest where Hope's father was aiming another shot. The Lieutenant roared in anger and despite being stuck to the ground by one leg the Faunus manage to roll to the right of a second shot that released a blast of air into the earth behind him.The lieutenant raised his own gun and fired off several retaliatory shots that ripped harmless into the trees of the arena Ryze had dived behind.
When the first shot was fired, the two goons had thrown themselves to the ground behind several trees and had prepared to open fire on Hope. She was caught off guard because she was distracted watching her father hide in the forest. Hope didn't realize she was being shot at until several shots had pinged off her aura and the force of them knocked her off balance. Recovering quickly Hope spun with the momentum and automatically began to dance. In her panic she had thrown herself into a mix of a waltz and Ballet and in the midst of the bullet storm, tried to do what her mother had shown her. Find the rhythm of the fight and dance to it.
She sent her mind into overdrive and the world seemed to slow down around her. In this state she could count the individual bullets as they flew towards her in slow motion. She continued the strange dance routine she was doing as she weaved through the field of bullets. In the middle of dipping under a bullet, She drew Hyperion out of her arm's housing unit.The Rocket-Spear expanded into its rocket launcher form. She Spun under a bullet and ended up in a kneeling position pointed straight at the fang troops. She braced her launcher and took aim at The WF lieutenant who was keeping her dad pinned behind a tree, despite the fact that he was pinned to the ground by a blood red block of ice surrounding his legs. For a moment she hesitated as she knew this would probably hurt all of the fangers. She stopped hesitating when she saw a bullet whiz Wayyy too close to her father's head. She hardened her will and fired a rocket towards the monkey Faunus's leg. She watched as all three of the faunus turned toward the "FSHHHHH" sound her rocket made as it flew from its launcher towards the leader, Hope saw their eyes widened in horror right before the rocket slammed into the ground under them and exploded, sending not just him, but all three of the terrorists flying into the air. She deactivated her mental boost with a stagger as she readjusted to normal speed. She winced as all 3 hit the ground with a painful sound.Looking towards them she noticed that All three were on fire and in obvious pain. The leader in particular had his chest armor shredded and a was shrieking in pain as fire burned on his body. Hope thought that they
What's Hope's View on life?
[ ] Deserved it (They threatened her mother!)
[ ] Suffered pointlessly (killing them in retaliation doesn't make Hope any better than them!)
[ ] Something else? (Write in)
Regardless she readied her weapon when the goons slowly pushed themselves to their feet. When they pointed their weapons in her direction, She braced herself and started to activate her mental boost.Before anything could happen though two more shots rang out, the first goon took a bullet in the back that slammed him into the ground with a loud *Crunch* that Hope was sure broke his nose. The second goon turned to jump out of the way of the rapidly approaching second bullet but reacted to late and was stopped by another bullet forcing its way into her shoulder,Hope realized it was a female goon when she heard her scream from the pain. Hope watched as the female goon was sent flying towards her before crashing into the ground in front of her, the woman was groaning and bleeding from both the rocket and Ryze's Wind-infused bullet
Hope converted her launcher into its spear form and prodded the woman with the blunt end and watched as she squirmed in pain…
"I- I think they're done Dad…" Ryze walked out of the forest with a big grin on his face, apparently unharmed.That smile fell from his face when he saw the state both Hope and his wife were in.He jogged over to Hope and checked her up and down for injuries, before letting out a low whistle of appreciation at the few dents in Hope from the bullet's blunt trauma..
"They did a number on you alright, we'll have to fix that later, You feeling alright otherwise? At Hope's shy nod of confirmation he smiled and checked his wife over
His face turned deadly serious and he turned to Hope,"She's very close to death I lent her some of my aura to fix some of the worst issues but it'll be several hours before she awakens, C',mon Hope, we need to go and check if the Air-Bus is still coming back to evacuate people, if we're lucky it'll only be a few minutes before we're out of this nightmare" He didn't say what both he and Hope were thinking, what if they've stopped coming back?
"You- You think that's it!?", Hope and her father both spun to see the lieutenant somehow still awake despite the 2nd degree burns up and down his body.He was leaning against a tree and still awake. The fact that dust-created flames were still covered his legs didn't seem to register with him.It was probably due to the bullet in his leg and the burns covering his body in near entirety He seemed to be in extreme pain and delirious and iin his hand was a controller with a single button
"I wasn't supposed to use this beauty right here until I was off the arena, but since I'm probably gonna die anyway…" He pushed the button before either you or your father could react and a loud sound rocked the arena.
"BOOOOOOOOOOM"
Immediately screams from just outside the main arena sounded. Hope assumed they were from the people trying to escape on the airbuses. The lights that where moments ago just barely working seemed to die in their entirety. She felt the floor under her feet tilt dangerously and she barely managed to hold her balance as the room started to tilt on its axis and Fall. Looking up into the hole in the arena that let the light of the broken moon through, she saw that the sky was quickly shrinking away from her.
"What did you do!!!" Ryze yelled at the dying faunus so he could be heard over the rapidly increasing wind "What caused that noise!"
"That was the sound of thrusters one and two of the arena going up in smoke" He laughed in pain
Hope saw him placing a finger over the button again and called desperately" You don't have to do this "She began switching her spear back to launcher form and dragging her mother towards a tree to stop themselves from being dragged out of the arena by the wind. "We can still get you medical attention!"
"I know" He smirked in pain and pushed the button again
"BOOOOOOOOOOM" Another sound rocked the arena and Hope felt the speed of the arena's fall increase drastically and the wind nearly tugged her mother out of her arms.
"And that..."He gasped" was thrusters three and four-" The dieing faunus broke down into uncontrollable coughing before passing out. His unconscious body was flung upwards by the wind and Hope watched as he was sucked out into the night sky, the other two faunus were weakly holding onto a tree but she saw they were losing their grip.
"Grab your mother and Hold onto something Hope!!" Ryze yelled over the wind
She grabbed her mother and

" Dad We have to go back for her!"
"We can't darling, your mother wanted both you and i to go"
"I don't care, We can't abandon her, She helped raise me and i can't just let her fight alone!"
"I know how yah feel darlin' but your mother can handle herself well enough, if we don't go now we could get killed or left behind. I know how to fight pretty well but you've been training for a year and yah barely know how to swing Hyperion around. It would help your mother more if she knew we were safe rather than us coming to rescue her and then getting in trouble ourselves. It's better if she doesn't end up having to defend both herself and us.If we go now then we can meet up with her later, i'm sure the arena's been evacuated by now and she's on her way here right now"
"But what if she can't handle it dad!, What if she was overwhelmed! She's been retired for years and you saw how many Nevermores their were!"

The Shot seems to catch the WF Lieutenant, as Hope had started calling him in her head, off guard, He spun around at the sound instead of moving out of the way and caught a frosted dust bullet to the knee
"GAHHH!", The faunus shouted as he fell to the ground with blood flowing from the wound.Ice quickly sprouted from the wound and Froze his right leg to the ground. The lieutenant looked into the forest where Hope's father was aiming another shot. The Lieutenant roared in anger and despite being stuck to the ground by one leg the Faunus manage to roll to the right of a second shot that released a blast of air into the earth behind him.The lieutenant raised his own gun and fired off several retaliatory shots that ripped harmless into the trees of the arena Ryze had dived behind.
When the first shot was fired, the two goons had thrown themselves to the ground behind several trees and had prepared to open fire on Hope. She was caught off guard because she was distracted watching her father hide in the forest. Hope didn't realize she was being shot at until several shots had pinged off her aura and the force of them knocked her off balance. Recovering quickly Hope spun with the momentum and automatically began to dance. In her panic she had thrown herself into a mix of a waltz and Ballet and in the midst of the bullet storm, tried to do what her mother had shown her. Find the rhythm of the fight and dance to it.
She sent her mind into overdrive and the world seemed to slow down around her. In this state she could count the individual bullets as they flew towards her in slow motion. She continued the strange dance routine she was doing as she weaved through the field of bullets. In the middle of dipping under a bullet, She drew Hyperion out of her arm's housing unit.The Rocket-Spear expanded into its rocket launcher form. She Spun under a bullet and ended up in a kneeling position pointed straight at the fang troops. She braced her launcher and took aim at The WF lieutenant who was keeping her dad pinned behind a tree, despite the fact that he was pinned to the ground by a blood red block of ice surrounding his legs. For a moment she hesitated as she knew this would probably hurt all of the fangers. She stopped hesitating when she saw a bullet whiz Wayyy too close to her father's head. She hardened her will and fired a rocket towards the monkey Faunus's leg. She watched as all three of the faunus turned toward the "FSHHHHH" sound her rocket made as it flew from its launcher towards the leader, Hope saw their eyes widened in horror right before the rocket slammed into the ground under them and exploded, sending not just him, but all three of the terrorists flying into the air. She deactivated her mental boost with a stagger as she readjusted to normal speed. She winced as all 3 hit the ground with a painful sound.Looking towards them she noticed that All three were on fire and in obvious pain. The leader in particular had his chest armor shredded and a was shrieking in pain as fire burned on his body. Hope thought that they
What's Hope's View on life?
[ ] Deserved it (They threatened her mother!)
[ ] Suffered pointlessly (killing them in retaliation doesn't make Hope any better than them!)
[ ] Something else? (Write in)
Regardless she readied her weapon when the goons slowly pushed themselves to their feet. When they pointed their weapons in her direction, She braced herself and started to activate her mental boost.Before anything could happen though two more shots rang out, the first goon took a bullet in the back that slammed him into the ground with a loud *Crunch* that Hope was sure broke his nose. The second goon turned to jump out of the way of the rapidly approaching second bullet but reacted to late and was stopped by another bullet forcing its way into her shoulder,Hope realized it was a female goon when she heard her scream from the pain. Hope watched as the female goon was sent flying towards her before crashing into the ground in front of her, the woman was groaning and bleeding from both the rocket and Ryze's Wind-infused bullet
Hope converted her launcher into its spear form and prodded the woman with the blunt end and watched as she squirmed in pain…
"I- I think they're done Dad…" Ryze walked out of the forest with a big grin on his face, apparently unharmed.That smile fell from his face when he saw the state both Hope and his wife were in.He jogged over to Hope and checked her up and down for injuries, before letting out a low whistle of appreciation at the few dents in Hope from the bullet's blunt trauma..
"They did a number on you alright, we'll have to fix that later, You feeling alright otherwise? At Hope's shy nod of confirmation he smiled and checked his wife over
His face turned deadly serious and he turned to Hope,"She's very close to death I lent her some of my aura to fix some of the worst issues but it'll be several hours before she awakens, C',mon Hope, we need to go and check if the Air-Bus is still coming back to evacuate people, if we're lucky it'll only be a few minutes before we're out of this nightmare" He didn't say what both he and Hope were thinking, what if they've stopped coming back?
"You- You think that's it!?", Hope and her father both spun to see the lieutenant somehow still awake despite the 2nd degree burns up and down his body.He was leaning against a tree and still awake. The fact that dust-created flames were still covered his legs didn't seem to register with him.It was probably due to the bullet in his leg and the burns covering his body in near entirety He seemed to be in extreme pain and delirious and iin his hand was a controller with a single button
"I wasn't supposed to use this beauty right here until I was off the arena, but since I'm probably gonna die anyway…" He pushed the button before either you or your father could react and a loud sound rocked the arena.
"BOOOOOOOOOOM"
Immediately screams from just outside the main arena sounded. Hope assumed they were from the people trying to escape on the airbuses. The lights that where moments ago just barely working seemed to die in their entirety. She felt the floor under her feet tilt dangerously and she barely managed to hold her balance as the room started to tilt on its axis and Fall. Looking up into the hole in the arena that let the light of the broken moon through, she saw that the sky was quickly shrinking away from her.
"What did you do!!!" Ryze yelled at the dying faunus so he could be heard over the rapidly increasing wind "What caused that noise!"
"That was the sound of thrusters one and two of the arena going up in smoke" He laughed in pain
Hope saw him placing a finger over the button again and called desperately" You don't have to do this "She began switching her spear back to launcher form and dragging her mother towards a tree to stop themselves from being dragged out of the arena by the wind. "We can still get you medical attention!"
"I know" He smirked in pain and pushed the button again
"BOOOOOOOOOOM" Another sound rocked the arena and Hope felt the speed of the arena's fall increase drastically and the wind nearly tugged her mother out of her arms.
"And that..."He gasped" was thrusters three and four-" The dieing faunus broke down into uncontrollable coughing before passing out. His unconscious body was flung upwards by the wind and Hope watched as he was sucked out into the night sky, the other two faunus were weakly holding onto a tree but she saw they were losing their grip.
"Grab your mother and Hold onto something Hope!!" Ryze yelled over the wind
She grabbed her mother and

As Hope clung to one of the artificial trees in the arena,keeping both her and her mother from being flung into the open night sky, she realized that with her mother's current condition, she wasn't likely to survive the fall without more aura transfusions, Hope didn't have much of an Aura to begin with and after the fight she was running on very little.
… She didn't want her mother to die so she made the split second call.
"Dad!" She called as loudly as she could over the wind. " She doesn't have enough aura to take another hit!"
// Ryze's Ability to reach Hope //
// DC 50 + 15 (Falling) + 10 (Stressful) = DC 75 //
He seemed confused for a minute before understanding dawned on him. His hat had long since been lost to the wind but Hope got the feeling that if he could, he would have tipped it. Her father began grappling between the trees towards her.
Over the howling wind in nearly pitch darkness your father leaped from tree to tree, Hope couldn't see him well in the dark and could barely hear over the wind, she could only hope that he would make it.
//Ryze's Roll : 96 + 10 (Family Stick Together) + 8 (Agility) = 114 (Crit)
(Crit Roll ) : 71 + 5 (FST) + 4 (Agi) = 80 (Great success!) (+ 5% bonus increase to Ryze's survival chance!)
From out of the darkness of the forest the figure of her father appeared, fighting the wind's attempts to drag him into the sky, dragging himself from tree to tree until he eventually was positioned next to the tree Hope and her mother were attached to. He reached out with his hand and started channeling his aura into Crystal as Hope did the same, and for a brief second the world lit up as a mix of his orange aura and Hope's
What color is Hope's Aura?

Both Aura's Started flowing into your mother, her skin, previously covered with scratches and barely formed bruises, cleared up to the tan color Hope normally associated with her mother. Crystal's own aura, a pale blue, lit up with the other two members of her family. In Hope's haste to start channeling aura she forgot that hyperion was still in her hand. The wind immediately grasped for your weapon
//Roll to hold onto Hyperion DC 40 + 15 (Falling) + 10 (stressful) = DC 65 //
//Hope's Roll : 16 + 10 (Dex) = Fail
and tore it from your hands, casting it away into the night sky above. If she was in a better state of mind she might have cried, however she was to busy saving her mother to waste time crying. The auras that were being channeled together started to mix until a plethora of color appeared, and for a moment it was like the world was in slow motion, a single moment was captured in Hope's mind as all 3 aura colors swam together and Hope wondered if this was the last time she would be together with her family.
Then time sped up again, the air whistled in her ears as it passed by and Hope felt her father's grip loosen in her right hand. She looked towards her father with horror, but he only held a look of acceptance on his face, the tree he was hanging on to was losing its grip on the earth rapidly. Hope knew what was about to happen a moment before it happened but she was helpless to stop it. All she could do was watch her father as he mouthed the words "I love you" and was tossed into the night sky.
Hope Didn't even have the time to scream before she heard the impact of the arena against the actual earth and something smashed against her skull…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Ironwood was agitated...No that was an understatement, he was Livid, angry at Ozpin, upset with Qrow, and absolutely pissed with himself. He was So Stupid to have not seen the warning signs earlier. The Tower infiltration, the rising spike in dust crime, both terrorist groups growing in numbers at the same time. Looking back on it the fact that danger was approaching was obvious. When the Red phoenix, a group of primarily Faunus Haters started working with the white fang he should have called in every stop to figure out was was going on. But he was so focused on the big picture he missed the tiny details. And now the city of Vale was taken over, Patch was a bonfire and Grimm ran rampant all across the countryside.
The festival was going so well in the beginning, the people were happy and he got to inspire them with Atlas's power! Then the grimm had arrived in force, The major terrorists groups, the White Fang And The Red Phoenix, had both attacked the city in tandem, his army had been hijacked and Somehow the terrorists Were Not being obliterated by the Grimm. He still had troops in the city, he wasn't sure where because the CCT had gone down but he knew they were there, The worst part was the fact that there was quite possibly civilians still their waiting for a rescue that would never come. It was every nightmare scenario wrapped into a bomb and thrown into the center of the city. 12 million people Lived in Vale Proper. In total 117 million lived spread out across the Valian countryside, all spread out across the entire kingdom.But after this mess... His best scientists were currently estimating that the casualties were in the low 50 millions, and negativity was at an all time high for Remnant. The counsel had just called for the abandonment of Vale, Proclaiming it a lost cause, they just didn't want to spend resources saving men that he had failed,and saving… her.
"I'm sorry for failing you Penny…" He took a drought from a small flask. Her remains hadn't been recovered from the arena, she was forgotten in the pandemonium after the Arena had fallen. Best case scenario was if she was completely destroyed, then she couldn't be used by the Fang, Worst case though… Worst case was an army of robots with power on par with Penny.He sighed in despair and turned to look out the ship and out at the once magnificent Vale, the city slowly burning…
How many people were still waiting on that island? Total : D100 * 10 = 23; 23 * 10 = 230 people still waiting for evac.

Hope slowly woke up, through her eyes she could see a steel ceiling that she recognized as a roof section from an Arena Hallway and There was low level light that she determined was from a candle. Automatically entering a self-diagnostics mode, she began checking herself over. She determined that she had suffered damage directly to her Robotic cerebral lobe and had spent the last 8 hours in low-power mode as her body had repaired the worst of the damage, if she had had access to more energy she would have been completely fine but as it stood she had the robot equivalent of a " concussion"
She was finishing up her self-diagnosis when the memories hit her,
Morale - 2
// Auto Fail WP check to not break down // DC to high
She sat up immediately and felt the world swim around her as she looked to and fro, "MOM, DAD, Where are you!"Hope tried to stand but her body denied her and she collapsed onto a… beach towel? In the low-level light she could only see a few feet in every direction,but directly in front of her she could see her mom lying on another beach towel.Hope crawled towards her mother on hands and knees and found her to be completely healthy physically.She breathed a sigh of relief at the discovery and began desperately looking around for her father, who she begged was nearby. She saw no one. Hope began to settle into panic when she heard it.
She looked towards the dark where she heard a mild shuffling moving towards her. Hope began looking for Hyperion before remembering she had lost in the fall. Immediately saddened by that thought, but knowing it wasn't the time she tried to stand and remember how to throw a punch. She had one lesson in unarmed fighting and it was from that one time a drunk Vacuan man had tried to teach her. Her attempts led to her leaning against the wall of the hallway with a fist weakly held out in front of her, then out of the dark came…
Encounter roll upon awakening : 83 (Rolling up a character sheet then...)
A girl, a human to be more precise, she looked to be only a few years older than Hope. She had brunette hair that was up in a ponytail and brown eyes, her arm was done up in a makeshift cast, and she had a white t-shirt with blue jeans. She had a red medical bag tied to her belt and bandages tied around the hand of her working arm which was currently held up in a placating manner.
"Calm down girl, your ok, i found you out in the arena and brought you here" She kept her hand out as she slowly approached Hope. in the tense silence a single ridiculous thought popped into Hope's mind and she blurted it without thinking
"Are you- are you treating me like a horse..?" There was an awkward silence for a few seconds before the girl replied "Is it working?" another beat passed before Hope broke down into giggles,she slid down the wall and collapsed into her knees, the absurdity of the situation getting to her, at some point the giggles turned into sobs and the girl had kneeled down by Hope's Side whispering "it's ok" over and over again. They sat there for a few minutes until the sobs finally died out and Hope was calm again. Hope looked up at the older girl who was offering her a bottle of water with her good arm. Hope took it and began to chug it as the girl started talking
"So, Are you alright? Any pains anywhere? I looked you over earlier and I couldn't see any physical injuries but it's better to check with the patient first…"
Hope stopped drinking to say "My head hurts a little…"
"Yeah i assumed it would, looked like you had a concussion when I found you, though the swelling seems to have gone down a lot
An awkward silence filled the air before the girl spoke up again.
So, my name is Amelia, world's best doctor, eventually, what's yours?"
"Ummm, its Hope" She responded quietly
"Alright Hope, do you remember what happened"
Hope startled for a moment before nodding her affirmative"Ye- Yeah, the Arena fell and my dad he- he" She felt tears start to well up again but the girl swiftly distracted her from her thoughts
"It's ok, it's ok, your dad would want you to be safe right?"Hope nodded a firm yes"Ok, and right now we aren't safe, i just need you to stay strong for a moment ok? "Hope nodded another affirmative "ok that's good, so right now we aren't safe."
Hope frowned slightly, ``We aren't?
Amelia's smile faded "We're in a bad situation, There are Grimm in the Arena and we need to go, but with your concussion I need to know if you can make it, right now it seems a majority of the Grimm have left the area, but your outburst may have just attracted more. So i need to know if you can make it. By my estimate your mom is going to wake up in a couple of hours and we'll have about an hour to get out with very little resistance but we need to go soon? Will you be ready to go by that time?
[ ] Yes ( Low chance of Grimm encounters)
-which way though?
-[ ] through the main hall (Fast but loud, increases the chance of encounters but should get you out of here quickly)
-[ ] through the mess of back ways (Allows for stealth checks, Even Lower chance of encounters but a decent chance of getting lost, may find ??? )
-[ ] through the arena and out the back way (May recover a number of items,Decent chance of encounters)
-[ ] Some other way out? (Write in )( must be cleared with GM )
[ ] No (Wait a while, lose supplies and time, but lose the (Concussed) condition, when you escape their is a decent chance to run into Grimm, same escape options as above

Immediately saddened by that thought, but knowing it wasn't the time she tried to stand and remember how to throw a punch. She had one lesson in unarmed fighting and it was from that one time a drunk Vacuan man had tried to teach her. Her attempts led to her leaning against the wall of the hallway with a fist weakly held out in front of her, then out of the dark came…

Name : Amelia
//Character creation over //
A girl, a human to be more precise, she looked to be only a few years older than Hope. She had brunette hair that was up in a ponytail and brown eyes, her arm was done up in a makeshift cast, and she had a white t-shirt with blue jeans. She had a red medical bag tied to her belt and bandages tied around the hand of her working arm which was currently held up in a placating manner.
"Calm down girl, your ok, i found you out in the arena and brought you here" She kept her hand out as she slowly approached Hope. in the tense silence a single ridiculous thought popped into Hope's mind and she blurted it without thinking
"Are you- are you treating me like a horse..?" There was an awkward silence for a few seconds before the girl replied "Is it working?" another beat passed before Hope broke down into giggles,she slid down the wall and collapsed into her knees, the absurdity of the situation getting to her, at some point the giggles turned into sobs and the girl had kneeled down by Hope's Side whispering "it's ok" over and over again. They sat there for a few minutes until the sobs finally died out and Hope was calm again. Hope looked up at the older girl who was offering her a bottle of water with her good arm. Hope took it and began to chug it as the girl started talking
"So, Are you alright? Any pains anywhere? I looked you over earlier and I couldn't see any physical injuries but it's better to check with the patient first…"
Hope stopped drinking to say "My head hurts a little…"
"Yeah i assumed it would, looked like you had a concussion when I found you, though the swelling seems to have gone down a lot
An awkward silence filled the air before the girl spoke up again.
So, my name is Amelia, world's best doctor, eventually, what's yours?"
"Ummm, its Hope" She responded quietly
"Alright Hope, do you remember what happened"
Hope startled for a moment before nodding her affirmative"Ye- Yeah, the Arena fell and my dad he- he" She felt tears start to well up again but the girl swiftly distracted her from her thoughts
"It's ok, it's ok, your dad would want you to be safe right?"Hope nodded a firm yes"Ok, and right now we aren't safe, i just need you to stay strong for a moment ok? "Hope nodded another affirmative "ok that's good, so right now we aren't safe."
Hope frowned slightly, ``We aren't?
Amelia's smile faded "We're in a bad situation, There are Grimm in the Arena and we need to go, but with your concussion I need to know if you can make it, right now it seems a majority of the Grimm have left the area, but your outburst may have just attracted more. So i need to know if you can make it. By my estimate your mom is going to wake up in a couple of hours and we'll have about an hour to get out with very little resistance but we need to go soon? Will you be ready to go by that time?
[ ] Yes ( Low chance of Grimm encounters)
-which way though?
-[ ] through the main hall (Fast but loud, increases the chance of encounters but should get you out of here quickly)
-[ ] through the mess of back ways (Allows for stealth checks, Even Lower chance of encounters but a decent chance of getting lost, may find ??? )
-[ ] through the arena and out the back way (May recover a number of items,Decent chance of encounters)
-[ ] Some other way out? (Write in )( must be cleared with GM )
[ ] No (Wait a while, lose supplies and time, but lose the (Concussed) condition, when you escape their is a decent chance to run into Grimm, same escape options as above
