SFG- Steal From the Giant, Relics are protected by a strong creature of Grimm, each unique in shape and size. (you will have to work together)
Brutus, it is a giant hound that protects the relics in a small ditch. The Brutus looks like a bulldog with bone plating on it's hind legs and around it's neck which looks like a collar. The Brutus is a fast creature, with the ability to sniff out anyone even those who are hiding or cloaking themselves with invisibility. A Brutus are about the size of a house, they are tough and can brush of most attacks like an Ursa can. It takes a while for a Brutus to actually go down.

"So, umm...Do we get parachuuuuuuuuttttttteeeeeeeeessssss?"Laram's question was answered for him as he was launched high into the sky. Fumbling with his gear, he secured it quickly and pulled out his sword and shield. Trees were quickly filling up his field of vision and he needed to think fast. He couldn't afford to get injured as soon as the test began. Some of the trees closest to him were taller than the rest, and he sliced through the top branches. This didn't stop his descent, but it allowed a little bit of a buffer between him and the branches he was crashing through. Between the cut branches and his shield, he bashed through the top layers of trees, and managed to hook one right before the ground. He expelled the excess kinetic energy by doing a somersault around the branch before gingerly landing on the ground.It's a good thing I grew up in a forest. Although I've never been launched from a catapult before.
He brushed off the sawdust that had accumulated on his clothes and opened his senses to his surroundings. The mission was simple, meet up with his new teammates and search the Emerald Forest for certain relics. From the tone of the instructor's tone, the relics themselves weren't all that valuable. It was the act of retrieving them that they held in high regard. In any case, he didn't have time to dawdle in the woods. He sheathed his sword, and released one of the handguns that made the guard. He listened intently one more time before setting off in the direction that he and his teammates were designated to meet. Regardless of what they would encounter in the forest, they had a better chance of handling it if they worked together. So in his mind, meeting his new team was first priority.I didn't get a chance to speak with anyone beforehand. So hopefully we can work together well.Laram arrived at the meeting place and checked the perimeter. There was no sign of grimm or other people, so he leaned up against a tree and waited.Regardless of their personalities, they got into Beacon. That means that they are at least skilled.
But everyone will remember my name for eternity.

OOC: Team LANZ FTW! I think we have the makings of the strongest team in this guild. The legend of Team LANZ starts today!
Weapons and Equipment
Thorn's Lament is a long sword with two automatic pistols as the crossguard. These can be removed and used like a regular gun. Laram keeps extra, thirty three round magazines on him for when his regular clips run out. He only uses these magazines when the guns are detached, as the extra long magazines interfere with the balance of the weapon. The pistols shoot .40 caliber dust bullets.
Laram's shield is made of a very sturdy material that let's it stand up to all kinds of abuse. This thing can take a grenade and come out with minor scratches.
Semblances
Violent Burst: Laram is able to project his aura out of his body in a more violent way than most people. By building up his aura in a specific body part, and then forcefully releasing the energy all at once; he is able to create a small explosion akin to a grenade. However, this technique is not without its' drawbacks. Because of the sheer amount of energy required to do this technique, it is very tiring on the user. Also, it has no long range capabilities; due to how the technique is utilized. Laram can only keep this style of fighting up, continuously, for around five minutes. Depending on how aggressively he fights, that time can be shortened as well. On top of that, this technique is murder on the hands. Continuous explosions can do that to a person. Depending on the intensity of the blast, Laram's hands can get damage from burns to full blown broken fingers if he isn't careful.
Quiet Serenity: By projecting his aura about his body, Laram is able to heal minor injuries much quicker than normal. This requires the utmost concentration and Laram cannot be disturbed during the process. He must remain completely still while he does this, so it cannot be utilized during combat. There is also a limit to what he can do. Since this ability has to do with giving energy to the body to repair itself; it cannot cure diseases or illnesses. It can only be used to repair damage done to the body. This isn't an instantaneous process either. It takes minutes to heal cuts, and can take hours to repair harsher damage. However, with great effort he can heal other people as well. Depending on the extent of the injuries, Laram becomes exhausted while using this ability. As you can imagine, projecting your aura in such a manner take a lot out of you.
Ariana had arrived at the school not long before her scroll lit up like a christmas tree. To her surprise before she had even made it into the building she had been assigned to a team. "Are you serious?" She stated in confusion as she glanced to the little owl upon her shoulder who merely tilted it's head in response. "Well..I suppose we should hurry Nia, we wouldn't want to be reassigned already." With that he had hurried off to the cliff by the forest, as she stepped onto the platform she took out her mother's journal and began reading it. "Launched into the forest" She read this line moments before being catapulted high into the air.
While she flew through the air she hugged her legs together to keep anyone from seeing anything from below while she continued to calmly read the journal. "Nia, did you know they keep track of the students during the initiation test? That's so intriguing...I wonder where they hide?" She said as she looked down below her as the trees rapidly make their approach. "Oh well." She lifted her hand and the owl leaves her shoulder and grows in size, Ariana takes hold of Nia's leg as she hovers them down to the ground below. She gently touched down, and releases Nia's leg, all the while she kept her eyes glued to the diary. Nia swiftly returned to her adorable passive size, Ariana having bolstered Nia with her aura to make for a safe descent and now that she had touched down it was no longer necessary.
After a few moments of Ariana steadily walking in a random direction, Nia pecked her head and let out a soft hoot as she detected movement. "So soon?" Ariana said softly as she put the book back into the internal pocket of her jacket. "Hmm, friend or foe..." She stated as she drew her weapon gazed into the moving bushes. To her surprise a brown haired faunus boy burst out from the bushes and zipped past her so quickly that she hardly had the time to blink. "Well that was...unique..." She tilted her head to the side as did Nia as she watched him disappear into the bushes on the other side of the path. "Another student no doubt..."
From there she headed down the path, quite calmly as she took in the sights. Luckily for her, given Nia's help, she had hovered across the canopy quite distance and landed quite close to the meeting place. Nia kept herself on alert while Ariana had pulled the diary out again and read while she walked. She only managed not to run into obsticles because Nia would hoot out which direction to move to avoid it. Soon she found herself arriving at the meeting place, snapping the book shut when Nia informed her they were there. "Already? Well that was quite a short trip. Oh hello." Her eyes fell upon this other person who had arrived and was now leaning against a tree. "Are you who I'm intended to meet here?" Her arrival had been given away by a series of hoots having been emitted of course by Nia, and now as Ariana spoke, the little owl intently stared at this new person unblinking.

With a few steps from the dinning hall, the young man patted his stomach to show that he had atleast eaten a little bit before he was to join his partners on the field of combat. The 10 plates would hold him until the end of the mission, and with that he was prepared for most anything in his mind. Though, his only visible eye couldn't portray that emotion. He walked forward with a few people from a distance looking at his, well appearance, and not knowing whether he was student, from his hieght and clothe, or civilian, from his normal figure. His hand grabbed the green, ragged cape he had from his homeland, which he used to travel, and stepped onto the pad, reaching behind his back. The young man took grip of a handle right before the lever was pulled, launching him high into the air.
The young man seemed to be flying as his cape ruffled in the wind. A slight hum emitted from the bandages while he began his decent. He seemed to be enjoying a tune. The young man's very own song from back home, or a modern song he had heard on the radio that was oh, so catchy. His fall seemed to be a spital, until he quickly drew something from his back, like a sword and cut through the air. The opening of it made the air break and his descend turn into a flutter like motion towards the ground. A parasol. He slowly went until he landed between two people in the forest. The parasol over his head with a slight pride. His head looked both ways before making a nod towards them and stepping back. So they could speak to each other.
Laram didn't have long to wait before things got lively. After around two minutes his ears picked up the smallest hint of a sound in the trees surrounding him. The sound gradually grew louder, and seconds later a young woman around his age appeared from the landscape. She was carrying a lance type weapon that intrigued Laram. However, it would be rude to not even introduce himself before talking about the arts of battle. As he sized up his new, what he was guessing, companion; his eyes drifted towards the owl on her shoulder. It was interesting to see, but it wasn't unheard of to see hunters with animal companions. He shrugged, better positioning his shield and sword on his back, and detached from the tree."Hello, and that's a safe assumption, since this is the meeting place I was told to go to. My name's Laram Knight, it's a pleasure."
His introduction was cut short by the sound of trees being cut in the distance. He halfway drew his sword, and eyed the direction the sounds came from. But his worries were for naught, since a a red haired person floated down from the canopy with a parasol in hand. Laram's eyes followed his movements with his head and sheathed his sword as the person touched down. A grin cracked on his face as the person nodded to the pair, and stepped back nonchalantly. He nodded back and scratched his head at the situation.Did he just Marry Poppins his way to the group?Laram wanted to ask, but again, rudeness. He took a step back so both hunters could be in his field of vision."Like I told you, my name is Laram Knight. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintances. It looks like we're just one hunter short at this point."
But everyone will remember my name for eternity.

ladyofthelakei'm running down to the r i p t i d e ↓↓ Nimue was expecting the sudden rush of air when she was suddenly catapulted through the sky- she wasn't the first one in the line. The wind rippled through her hair and clothes, and she found herself blinking uncontrollably, trying to keep her eyes from drying out. In fact, it was this simple distraction that might have led to her unfortunate fall. The huntress was generally extremely coordinated, and finding some way to touch ground with care should've been easy, but she had gotten distracted.
Nimue found herself hurtling towards the trees, and she managed to catch the first branch that came towards her, swinging off of it to slow herself down. Unfortunately, she barely clipped the second branch with her fingers, and as a consequence, she fell straight down onto the branch immediately below her. It drove all the air in her completely out of her lungs, and tears began to well up in her eyes. She hung there across the branch for a minute- in a manner she was sure was extremely comical to any onlookers. She eventually began to slide forwards, and there was a low chain of, "No, no, no, please no." and sudden flailing, which only made her fall faster. Nimue crashed through the few remaining branches before falling flat on her stomach on the forest floor.
With a loud moan, the girl picked herself up, unsteadily standing. She breathed in deeply, replenishing the oxygen she had lost so suddenly. The Huntress immediately went to check her bow, making sure it had not been damaged in the fall. Heliwr was still fully functional, her dust pouch was still tightly strapped closed, and by some miracle her arrows were still all there. Her back hurt, however, and Nimue only hoped she hadn't pulled open her scar in some sort of freak accident. Though, as she gently touched her spine, there did not appear to be a sudden rush of blood, so she was most likely in the clear.
It was only then that Nimue noticed the people standing around her. Her features became stony cold again, as she observed them. "Are you the ones I am supposed to work with?" Nimue's scowl grew as she brushed leaves from her shirt. It was troublesome, how she had fallen. She needed to constantly be on her A-game at Beacon.

"That is quite the point you have there." Ariana replied with a slight nod as she looked to the owl upon her shoulder. "Nia! It is not polite to stare!" She crossed her arms as she gave the little owl a disapproving look before she took notice of the man who descended from the sky like some sort of storybook character. "How strange, how could a metallic umbrella provide the lift necessary to keep a grown man aloft I wonder? No matter, but quite intriguing none the less. Yes yes, you are much more so than it it." She quickly added as Nia emitted clicking noses and nipped at Ariana's ear. "You will always be the most intriguing of all little one."
Just then, the sound of branches and leaves turned her attention above. With a bemused, yet concerned look upon her face, Ariana witnessed an event which she thought only possible in a cartoon. She remained silent momentarily as she passed glances between the two men and her owl before it fell upon this girl who had landed so comically before them. "Are you okay? That was quite the fall." She asked at first before finally realizing her folly. "I'm sorry, you introduced yourself Laram didn't you. I am Ariana, this is my spirit companion Nia. Say hello to everyone Nia."
Nia hooted faintly before Ariana gently scooped her up and threw her into the air. "A proper greeting I say!" With that Ariana motioned her hand and supplied a boost of aura into the little owl. She grew tenfold and spread her wings in the air...before promptly landing upon Ariana's head and sat there for a time. "That...will do I suppose, but we mustn't push it, I wouldn't want you to burst prematurely..." With that Ariana withdrew her aura, reverting Nia to her original adorable form. "I was quite surprised, I'll admit. I had only just arrived upon school grounds when I was summoned to the cliffs. I hadn't even time to explore, which is a shame, I wanted to spend time at the library first..." She seemed to zone out a bit, daydreaming about all the various books within those shelves, things which she had yet to read. She reached up and took Nia into her hands and smiled at her. "Imagine all the books! The smell...of the paper, the feel of the ink upon it...so much knowledge...Mother wrote about the academy she had gone to and how large the library was then... It must be so much larger now!" She hugged Nia tightly in her excitement, the obviously displeased squeak which emitted from Nia's throat snapped Ariana out of her reverie. "Oh my! I'm sorry, I got a little distracted there... What were we talking about again?" She stuck her tongue out slightly as she smiled sheepishly.

The look he got from the two made him slightly uncomfortable, it was like they never saw some come from the sky before. Heck, they did it not too long before he did. But he didn't mind the stares as much as he did the owl. It seemed too , human for his liking. Maybe he just had to warm up to it. But with this, his ears heard the crashing through the branches. It sounded painful. He looked at the last three falls, before she plummeted to the ground. He allowed his ponytail to buffer in the wind as he watched her assess herself. He didn't know what to ask her in terms of how she was doing since it seemed that she had herself put together.
His eyes darted to the other male, who had introduced himself. Time to assess who he was. His silver hair drew much attention, more attention then the other things on his body. It kind made him wanna ask if it was real. But, he didn't feel like it was the first thing he should say, so instead he looked to the woman who began to rant, about books. He couldn't read very well. Or at all sometimes, so it wasn't a feeling he could share, but with that in mind he gave a smile under the bandages. But it didn't show before he began his signature chuckle. "Kukuku~" He let out letting his hand slightly cover where his mouth would be. His eye then peered to them as he took a slight bow, with his parasol over his shoulder, allowing it to cover his head as he went down. "Zhao Chen, at your service." He told while rising.
