Personality:

Roy is a very calm and determined character. He does not like to let people down, and is always ready to plan a battle strategy at a moment’s notice. Although not a very talkative man, he will talk to teammates and others if he has to, or if there is some benefit from the conversation. He knows how to take a joke and will make a joke with others if he is comfortable enough around them or knows them well enough as friends. He will never leave someone behind in battle and will loyally fight by anyone’s side that will accept his assistance. Although being proud of his strategy making, he is as well open to suggestions and ideas from team mates and others too.

 

Extra: Roy is like Radon, it is able to be on its own, and in no need of a helpful link to make it feel stable.

Radon, being a noble gas, means that Roy does not play well with others, which means he's a work in progress for talking with others.

 

Fear(s):  Being unable to help, Letting down his parents and their expectations of him, Beowulfs.

Likes: Waffles, Fried Chicken, Good writing supplies, the scenery of Forever Fall

Dislikes:  Noisy people, Brussels sprouts , Asparagus, People who don’t pay attention, being overwhelmed.

Fatal Flaw(s): Prideful; Roy is overly prideful due to his abilities and strengths. He prefers to work on his own and feels he does better this way.

Habit(s): Roy enjoys reading and creating battle plans, he also has the habit of smirking even when things aren’t funny or deserving of a smirk. He tends to keep some important plotlines in his strategies to himself in order to add some “shock and awe” to the grand outcome of the battles he participates in.

 

Strengths: Strategy, Agility

Weaknesses: Not much of a talker, Shy at times, Overconfident in battle skills

 

Weapon


Weapon Name: Animus Volatilis (Winged Bravery; Animus=Bravery (Latin); Volatilis=Winged (Latin).)

 

Weapon Description: Roy's weapon is two short swords with their blades at equal length to the hilts. The hand guards on the hilts are made up of a revolving mechanism. The blades protrude from the hilts when in use, and hide within the hilts when in travel mode. The blades also have the ability to use four (4) dust types due to the small chamber on the hilt that resembles a small hand guard. The dust types Roy uses are Red (Fire / Blocking), Purple (Weapon Strength+ / Motion Cancel), Yellow (Electricity / Agility) and Cyan (Ice / Trapping). The pommels of the hilts allow the two blades to come together in a sort of “sword staff” idea.

Relationship With Others


Reputation:

People view Roy as a very quiet and “lost in thought” kind of character. Once they get to know him, they will see him as very smart with his strategy making, however.


Friends: Stein Orsini, Leila Magnolia and Violette Burke

Team: Team SLVR (Silver)

Enemy(ies): Unknown

The Character’s Abilities


Agility:   6/10

Swordsmanship:    7/10

Long Range Accuracy:   8/10

Defense:   6/10

Offense:   7/10

Aura:  8/10

People Skills:   4/10

 

Special Skill(s): 

    -          Roy can sense the vibrations within the earth. When he focuses on reading it, the vibrations can tell him what the cause of the vibration is, whether it is human, or a creature of grimm or something else like an earthquake or explosion. He uses this ability to help plan his strategic attacks for both himself and his team.

Brief History: Roy grew up in a basic family. They were not rich and they were not poor. His parents ran their own Dust Shop and since Roy grew up around the magical particles, he grew ever fascinated with them , wanting to learn as much as he could about them and hopefully someday be very knowledgeable in how dust worked and what it could be best used for. When he was sent to attend Signal Academy by his parents, Roy mostly stayed to himself and kept to his books and to his studies. He wasn’t much of a talker unless asked upon for an answer in class or some other small issue. He had his small group of friends and was labeled the “book worm” of the group quickly. It was also at Signal Academy that Roy created his weapon he’d use in his endeavors to fight the creatures of Grimm, Animus Volatilis meaning, Winged Bravery.

 

After his years at Signal Academy, Roy then ventured forward in his Hunter career and was accepted into Beacon Academy to be properly trained in how to battle and defeat creatures of Grimm. His lifestyle and personality has not changed much since coming to Beacon and he still keeps to himself mostly which will more than likely prove to make communication and friendship building a little more difficult than usual.

 

Trivia:

- Like the rest of Team SLVR he is related to an Element of the periodic table. His Element is Radon.

- His weapons use dust, so the idea of Radon (an element that glows due to its radioactivity) works well with the knowledge that his blades will glow depending on the dust being used at the current time.

I was reading the info you put here and saw the name of his weapon.
My nerd is coming out I'm sorry I take Latin and when I saw "Animus= bravery" I want to point out that "bravery" in Latin is "Fortitudo". Animus means "mind" 


But yea that's pretty much it. You have an awesome character-- saw Roy's other teammates and they're so cool too. His weapon is simple yet I bet it's pretty powerful too.
ye
Roy's nice

SoloZerker In reply to Piezelle [2014-05-23 04:34:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah... I knew Animus meant "The Mind" but that's what I get for trusting a large file of what words are translated to from Latin into English. Let me see if I can find it. :/ 

Here's where I got it from. www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/frivs/la…
On that list it indeed has Animus with a bunch of definitions alongside Fortitudo with what you said it means. 
To save you from searching through the whole thing, 
fortitudo : physical strength, courage, moral bravery. 
animus : courage, vivacity, bravery, will, spirit, soul. 
animus : character, intellect, memory, consciousness, often mind. 

So.... Perhaps animus just has a bunch of words it can mean.
By looking at google translate (I know, not the best for trusting, but it should be trustworthy when just putting in one word... perhaps) I get this long list of what Animus can be translated to. And if you look at the fourth one from the bottom, it shows Bravery. gyazo.com/a776b7abf639b81348cc…  (There were other translations too, but all of them didn't fit in the capture. See for yourself if you like. ^^ )

Thank you very much for bringing that up though. It's always nice to make sure that I'm doing the right thing, or to be corrected if I'm doing the wrong thing. For now, since I have the sources that prove Animus to also mean bravery, I'll be keeping the name as is. Maybe if I put the list of what Animus and Volatilis can mean it will ensure that some type of confusion like this doesn't happen again in the future. What are your thoughts on that?

Thank you for the compliments on the character too. I like the team as a whole, it's pretty nice. And... yes. His weapon was meant to be very simple to create in 3D so that I could actually make it. .3. I'm happy to hear that you think he's nice. 

Also please don't think this large wall of text was sent in any other tone than calm and accepting. I hope I didn't make myself sound like a jerk or an over-defensive and mean person when I wrote this reply because it was not meant in that way at all. I greatly appreciate you mentioning the Latin stuff and I hope that with my proof it solidifies my reasoning behind choosing the words that I did. Thank you again. ;w;

finally a complete bio with picture of our Roy uwu!  It is nice to read about his origins and have a complete description and image of him and Animus Volatilis

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SoloZerker In reply to TheStrayLiger [2014-05-18 17:12:48 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Complete and hopefully not missing anything or full of any mistakes. It's done, but I'm sure I'll be adding more after I know how he Rp's better. .3. 
His origins were a quick think up, to be honest, but I knew I had to connect him somehow to dust to fuel his fascination with the item. Being a rich kid like Weiss would be too bland, so a different option would be just... selling the stuff. And it seems to work nicely. 
Don't forget though, Liger, in the description where it talks about his weapon, there's a link to the video I made of Animus Volatilis functioning in 3D.

I can't wait to resume the RP of Team SLVR too. I want them to be goofy already in their room.

*totally missed the link* Whoops. I just noticed it's there. XDU

Well. .3. ... Leila and Vi would have their own room. I think. 
Would the really share a room as the four of them? I'll need to go back and watch the show. Because personally I think that'd be a little odd.  

Good to hear that you got the link now. .3.

Yeah, that's what I thought. 

Just seems a little... different for a school. XD You'd think that the men and women would have their own dorms. It's a little unusual for all team members to share one room.  

Maybe Volume 2 will show some changes to how the Academy functions.

Anyways, I also need to ask you of what kind of background images you want behind the sleepy Kurt headshot. I put the Graffiti Zephyr Symbol behind Sarah, and I want to put some kind of nice background behind Kurt to match or at least look similar. .3. ... Any suggestions? Once I'm done something for behind Kurt's head, this will be ready for posting.

Dinosaur I guess a dark red would fit him, since it's his favourite color n.n

Uhm LadyBug is how they call the RubyxBlake ship. Because you know, red and black .3. it was a really adorable fic about Blake and Ruby and faunus struggles and Ruby being the supportive flawless cutie she is.

I went with a mish-mash of reds... if you don't like the reds, I can change them. And if you want to use it as an Icon, I can send you a file of it.  

Makes sense. Lady Bug... BumbleBee... ... Then the other options. .3.

.w. Very cool!! It's nice to get to know him more, and this does give me ideas for doing Stein's at some point. I love how detailed you are, even if some of the details are just very simple things. It helps add life to Roy!


Also maybe make the image view a little larger so we can read the print.

Thanks. ^^ 
Great to know that even if small details, they help with the idea of who Roy is. I look forward to seeing any stuff on Stein sometime too.

I cannot make the image larger. I truthfully do not know how without ruining the image quality. 
I have a laptop with a 16.5 inch screen, I can read the smaller text well enough.
