Description RWBY oc! You can learn more about him here: [link]

copy pasta of the main points heh;;

“If you didn’t do anything to change it, then don’t complain about it.”
Personality: Taciturn and rather infuriatingly blunt, Sorrel is a boy of few words and even fewer compliments. Aside from his aptitude at wielding Hellelade; Sorrel’s most notable ability is his talent with convincing others. With a pretty face and even prettier eyes, he has a way with words that usually gets most (read; all) people to listen to him or at the very least pay attention when he wants them to. Unfortunately, this is not a skill that he employs often or makes any effort to integrate into his everyday persona— and he views it as a waste of energy. He views most things aside from fighting as a waste of energy, actually. 
The type that likes to get by with the bare minimum of what’s required, he’d be called incredibly lazy if not for the fact that he’s actually quite efficient. His existence seems to exemplify a paradox. 

((Sorrel, in particular, was a very difficult character to write a bio for. He likes to hide himself away and while I could write all about him, I’d like to show instead of describe and the only way to go any deeper than what I have written here would require writing everything that makes him tic. Despite this, I hope you find him interesting!)) 

Weapon:
Hellelade is Sorrel’s weapon of choice. It is a Synchronal Dual Pistol Dagger set (SDPD), a hybrid between semi-automatic pistols and combat daggers. Generally dark grey in colouring, both it’s blades and ammunition magazines are ejectable. While incredibly versatile in nature, Sorrel prefers to use it for medium-close combat, delivering most blows with it’s blades and shooting as an afterthought. When fighting, he moves in circular arcs and is able to take on a group of foes at once. He is in constant motion and hardly pauses to aim. Hellelade has no sheathe, and for transportation Sorrel carries around a special backpack which unfurls into an elaborate weapon rack. Along with Hellelade the pack contains additional ammo and blades which it can eject through the top should Sorrel run out/dull them. Due to the way that the blades are carved and held in place, in desperate situations the blade by itself is wieldable. 

+ Adaptable
+ Easily switches between close and mid combat, capable of far combat.
~ Light on his feet, but easy to knock around if you catch him.
- Not particularly outstanding in any one aspect aside from skill
- Weak against automations//things with armour
(-) Disadvantaged in large open spaces

Quick question, did you give some kid on the Amino RWBY OC app permission to repost your art?

This is the leader: Sapphire. She had some sort of… terminal disease. Her character is based on The little mermaid, so you'll understand what the disease is. Oh, and she had killer boots as weapons.

In the RWBY Q&A Livestream that was on yesterday, I think I remember them saying that someone had unintentionally created Ren's weapon before it was introduced. Was that you?

reveriesky In reply to ramarishana [2013-10-25 21:52:29 +0000 UTC]

Yep! Though he'd been under construction since the black trailer, I published Sorrel around May. If I remember correctly, the first episode of RWBY wasn't until July..? And Ren hadn't been introduced until episode 4, which was about a full month later.

I do have one question though. How did you come up with your guys weapon name?

reveriesky In reply to Youkai-Meimi [2013-09-01 20:20:29 +0000 UTC]

Ah I sorta went with Blake's theme because I like her a lot (flower+verb that fits the weapon style) = Hellebore+Fusillade but you can do many things! The main four girls all have flower+something themes while the other characters (Namely Torchwick) just have something that fits.

Hello. I was just wondering, I have an OC that is just about all planned out, but the weapon has a lackluster name. It is a sickle blade on the end of a chain. i have concept art of it 

Here - images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__c…

and

Here- images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__c…

I was wondering if you may be able to help me out in naming it. It currently has a latin name that in english means doom crecent, or doom moon, or something. in latin, it's Fatum Lunatis. I honsetly don't really like it, and want to get a better name for it. the OC is 

Here -> rwbyfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Scott…


Again, any help would be appriciated.

reveriesky In reply to bms111 [2013-10-25 10:40:59 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, lemme see if I can help! 

The name really depends on what you want from the weapon! For example, I wanted Sorrel's weapon to be elegant, so I went with the clean and slightly feminine Hellelade. I was helping my friend with her name too, and she wanted something tribal and robust- so I suggested Agasga. Think of the type of weapon you want and how you want it to move, and look up words from there! When I can't decide I tend to end up with a small list (about 5-8 terms most of the time) of names. From there I just sort of go about things- eventually I'll start mentally referring to the weapon by one of them and that's the name that I chose haha (Hellelade had almost been Salient Fusillade) 

Good luck! I don't know if I was able to help, but if you have any more questions feel free to ask!

I was kinda of thinking deadly, like Crescent Rose, but flowing and crisp at the same time, like Gambol Shroud. Versatile enough to be kept in a reader on your wrist, big as your arm, and can be used as a grappling hook. I have too many weapon ideas and nowhere near enough name ideas.

Hmmm, I think something in Italian would suit that sort of feel! Does the weapon have a color scheme?

bms111 In reply to reveriesky [2013-10-27 23:17:21 +0000 UTC]

Acctualy, on second thought, I think chrome would better discribe the color I was going for.

If you look on the link, I put up a picture of a chibi of what i think he would look like, roughly. He has a pattern of a pale grey / yellow gold, made to look platinum. I am going more so for the platimun that I am for the other colors, so.... yea.

SkagthePrinceofHell [2013-08-16 07:06:27 +0000 UTC]

May I suggest chakram + machine pistol with razor ammunition cartridges + dual wield = Synchronal Duel Pistol Chakrams (SDPC). He would still have a weapon with specs similar to Hellenlade (keep the name and color scheme for the chakrams, tis cool) and chakrams are cool.

reveriesky In reply to SkagthePrinceofHell [2013-08-18 02:46:44 +0000 UTC]

Ahh thank you! To be honest though I'm not too sure how one could implement a pistol into a chakram though ahahaha

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SkagthePrinceofHell In reply to reveriesky [2013-08-18 09:55:06 +0000 UTC]

Think of it like Axel's chakrams, only thicker. The inner cross would be were the four sided trigger wheel would be that fires its corresponding gun. The blades that are closer to the center of the trigger wheel would be the ammo cartridges that shoot out of the SDPC and can be used as knives. The actual gun muzzle would be the outer most blades that have custom knives that work as the blades attached to the bottom of the gun muzzles. But if that explanation is to hard to understand(because it is)just use the same phrase Monty probably uses to come up with these weapons "because why the f**k not!". So just slap on some Uzi's on to those chakrams and use the chakram parts as shields powered by dust that makes the whole of the SDPC come back to you when thrown or the chakrams can be launched by themselves.

That sounds cool! Kind of hard for me to grasp, but I'm getting the idea.

SkagthePrinceofHell In reply to reveriesky [2013-08-24 04:58:22 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I know its hard to understand so after watching the new RWBY episode I had thought of a redesign. Four of the chakram blades are bullet cartridges while the other four are the barrels. The chakram has no triggers but still has the firing mechanisms and can be shoot by using ones aura to ignite the dust inside to shoot. The bullets are feed into the barrels from the cartridge blade above it. It can be thrown and can still shoot if ones aura is in range to manipulate the firing mechanisms. So yeah if you still want to design this weapon by all means. I'd do it myself but I don't have a scanner and would you happen to know where I could get one?
