Alright, I said I would be posting up my main OC team, so here it is: team MJKL, or “Majikal.”

The first names are largely random, but the lasts names are mainly created from old Anglo-Saxon terms often referred to as “Old English.” They are named after what they do with their semblance. See if you can figure it out! ;)

This is going to be a long post. (=^.^=)

Myron Segen

Position: Leader; tank/myrmidon.

Species: Faunus, canine aspect, demonstrated by dog ears.

Sex: Male. Age: 17. Height: 70 inches. Weight: 180 pounds. Hair: Blonde, shaggy mid length. Eyes: Brown. Handedness: Left, partially ambidextrous.

Character: Cheerful and very outgoing; seems irresponsible, but is very protective of those close to him. Unbreakably loyal. Seems to be a poor planner until he sets his mind to the task. Surprisingly good tactician, able to come up with good plans even on the fly. Good at verbal sparring. Likes to flirt. Childhood friends (more?) with Kayla. Orphan. Most likely to doze off in class – or anytime, really. Most likely to sleep in. An excellent cook.

Weapon: Fatebreaker – A large .500 magnum revolver with 7-round mag. 8 3/8” barrel. Based off the S&W .500 Magnum, normally held in his right hand. Faithkeeper – an unadorned bastard sword (also called a hand-and-a-half sword) normally held in his left hand.

Semblance/Aura: Aura Reading. Can see others’ Auras, and gauge their strength. Given enough time to focus on a target, can be used to discern target's semblance. Advancement in skill leads to the ability to detect Grimm by the void of any Aura, and mastery grants the ability to predict actions to an extent.

Partner: Jay Westwind. Sexuality: Straight, debateably.

Jay Westwind

Position: Second in Command (2IC); Sniper/Support Mage.

Species: Human.

Sex: Male. Age: 18. Height: 73 inches. Weight: 195 pounds. Hair: Brown, medium short length. Eyes: Storm Grey. Handedness: Right.

Character: Very polite and normally aloof, a lone wolf type, preferring to open up only in one-on-one encounters or similarly small groups. Uncomfortable in large crowds. A bit volatile and unreliable; mood can be hard to predict. Does not like to be tied down, with few exceptions. Offers his allegiance easily, but not likely to offer loyalty. Can be very protective and easily angered on behalf of those he does offer loyalty to, but not likely to defend himself when insulted. Solid tactician and strategist, when given time to plan. Mildly prejudiced against Faunus. Long-standing disagreement with his family. Frequent insomniac. Likes getting into places he shouldn’t be able to get to.

Weapon: Leonidus’ Cross – sniper/staff. Customized Atlas SR-25 gas-operated semi-auto sniper rifle, uses .308 rounds, 20 rounds per mag, 20 inch barrel, variable zoom with glare-guard, deployable bipod. Turns into a long staff with the press of two buttons, one on the stock, and one on the receiver. Always carries a multitool knife on his belt.

Semblance/Aura: Wind Glyphs – allows limited control of wind (like unto to the effects of wind dust, perhaps) in the form of Glyphs, similar to Weiss’ glyphs. Application to the rifle allows him to ignore bullet drop and wind. Allows limited flight effects when used appropriately, and can be used for area of effect knockbacks. Advanced skill allows for manipulation of some objects; mastery can grant access to devastating area of effect attacks and shielding effects.

Partner: Myron Segen. Sexuality: Straight.

Kayla Burne

Position: Mental/Physical Health Monitor; Ranger.

Species: Appears Human, actually Faunus, Otter aspect (used to have ears).

Sex: Female. Age: 17. Height: 64 inches. Weight: Unknown – “You should know better than to ask a lady that!” Hair: Auburn, shoulder-length and messy. Eyes: Auburn. Handedness: Right.

Character: Playful and cheery; frequently flirtatious. Jokes a lot with Myron, her childhood friend (more?). Normally calm/collected despite her playful disposition. Occasionally has uncharacteristic fits of melancholy. Quick to make friends, slow to reveal her secrets. Kayla was born with otter’s ears, but had them mutilated when she was 14, then had the remains surgically removed (funded by her and Myron’s bounty-hunting) when they stopped functioning due to an infection. Orphan. Hides her Faunus heritage from most. Early to rise from bed. Loves to swim.

Weapon: Whisperwind – collapsible silver recurve bow (see the collapsible bows from Final Fantasy 14 for an idea on the design). Limited special dust-loaded ammo. Paired with a simple silver dagger.

Semblance/Aura: Soulcaster – grants Kayla the ability to manifest her Aura in solid fragments, which she uses as arrows or close-range/throwing blades. Advanced control grants the ability to form a full blade, and mastery allows the creation of a shield.

Partner: Laerie Sangestre. Sexuality: Bi/pansexual.

Laerie Sangestre

Position: Unifier; Bard/Assassin.

Species: Human.

Sex: Female. Age: 16. Height: 60 inches. Weight: Unknown, ~ 100 pounds. Hair: Brown, long braided. Eyes: Green, dark. Handedness: Right.

Character: Very quiet; reticent at best. Seems afraid of her own voice. Nervous and deferent; fades easily into the background, especially in large groups. Likes to find one person in a group to befriend, and avoid most others. Only speaks when absolutely necessary, with few exceptions. Slow to anger and slow to trust. Stopped talking (mostly) when her semblance became active; was frequently bullied when she was younger due to her reticence. Excellent at nonverbal communication. Expert violinist. Most likely to space out listening to music. Will put herself in harm’s way to protect someone who has protected her.

Weapon: Shadowsong – dagger with eared pommel; shifts into an Atlas 93Burstfire with suppressor mod, 21-round mag, 3-round burst.

Semblance/Aura: Bard’s Soul/Siren’s Song – her voice can cause fluctuations in Aura, bolstering allies strength and reflexes, weakening enemies, and stunning Grimm by overwhelming their ability to sense Aura. Advanced skill can completely lock an enemy in place, and mastery can apply either a group-stun on weaker enemies or a high-level haste effect on allies.

Partner: Kayla Burne. Sexuality: Bisexual/confused Alrighty, hopefully that helps with the readability.
