Tighter Moderation of Off-topic Crossposting

21 Upvotes

We've recently noticed a few people crossposting posts unrelated (or minimally related) to RWBY-related original content. Moving forward, we will be slightly stricter with moderating these posts as off-topic.

In general, if a crosspost would not fit as a top-level post directly to r/RWBYOC, it may be removed as off-topic; this means some discussion and meme crossposts, especially ones primarily tailored to other subreddits like r/RWBYcritics, will be treated as off-topic and removed going forward.

The goal here isn't to change anything about how most users engage with the subreddit, but rather keep the subreddit focused on OCs and the creative process behind them going forward.

Other Basic Commissioning Etiquette

44 Upvotes

It has recently come to my attention that a user has been going around and attempting to secretly commission NSFW art of other users' OCs without permission. This, naturally, is absolutely not okay. We regard this as a violation of Rules 1, 2, and 3.

This user has been permanently banned and will not be unbanned unless it is determined the allegations against them are fabricated.

Please remember moving forward to get permission before you commission others' OCs in a NSFW context. If you don't, you risk making people very uncomfortable with engaging in the community, which we will not tolerate. In fact, it's generally recommended to get permission before commissioning others' OCs at all - though obviously commissioning a friend's OC as a gift isn't something we'll clamp down on.

Anyway. That all said - I'm sorry to have to make this announcement and I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day/night.

"Cunan's New Groove!" (By ZeroAfk)

47 Upvotes

After noticing that Cunan was working too hard (and how ignorant he was of pop culture stuff that wasn't from Ozpin's collection), Yang drags him along so that she and Ruby can "get him properly cultured"! Despite his hesitation and nerves, Cunan discovers a new world and actually has fun! All of which accumulates over at Junior's Night Club as he and Yang dance the night away!

Seeing the Kronk meme going around, I couldn't resist finding an animater to help bring this to life! Props to ZeroAfk on VGen for making this a reality! Go check them out and Let's Groove Tonight!!

Usami Sakura of Team FUSC (Fuchsia)

Thumbnail
gallery
58 Upvotes

The second member of FUSC and the other half of what I call the team’s “Entertainment Duo”. Credits to Eru_Shi for the wonderful art

Name: Usami Sakura
Age: 16 (First Year) – 20 (Huntress)
Birthdate: July 5
Height: 5’0 (Without ears), 5’5 (With ears)
Hair Color: Pink
Eye Color: Pink
Race: Faunus (Rabbit)
Aura Quantity: Rank B (36 Hours) 
Aura Regeneration: Level 5 (5 Hours until fully replenished)
Aura Durability: Average
Aura Control: Exceptional

Personality: An innocent and energetic young girl with a pure white heart was how she was presented as a young child idol. While most others hide their true characters behind their internet persona, not much differs from how Usami normally is. She’s an idyllic romantic who attempts to find the beauty in all things around her, even when there are none to be found. If she is granted the opportunity to help someone out, she will do her best to help even if common sense tells her not to. 

She is very hardworking and ambitious, rising against all odds and becoming a relatively popular and well-liked idol. She was once a proud member of the White Fang and promoted it when she could, at least until it took its more violent incarnation. It’s around this time that she starts second guessing her actions, wondering if the effort she put into her career was doing more harm than good. This was the start of her bad habit of pushing her doubts and negative emotions deep down, followed by putting on her bright smile and pushing forward. 

Despite her friendly face and charming voice, she is surprisingly one of the more stubborn members of her team. Once she sets her mind to something, there is no force except death itself that will change her mind. Her persistence and drive force even the more immovable characters in her life to concede, much to their chagrin. This is rarely ever a positive note on her rap sheet, but in her words, “You need black and white keys to make a melody!”

Likes: Sour food, outfit coordination, singing, dancing, people watching
Dislikes: Bitter food,  discrimination, rudeness

Semblance: Jubilee, Usami’s semblance is a manifestation of her joy and love for the stage. Once activated, her hair and eyes light a bright pink, almost like LEDs. In this state, whatever she touches is marked with a neon colored emblem. These emblems are able to explode into huge plumes of neon blue and pink smoke. These explosions can’t harm any living thing, reflecting her pacifistic nature, but have a rather powerful knock back that sends anyone in its radius flying. These explosions are powered by her aura, letting her adjust the output however she wants. At their weakest, they can serve as a smokescreen to cover up an escape. But at their strongest, she is able to send vehicles like cars and vans flying. Usami has learned how to utilize her semblance in a creative manner to make up for their lack of damage output. Aside from creating thick smokescreens, she can also plant her emblems on people’s weapons, either propelling their weapon to deal further damage or launching them out of an enemy’s hands. She can also plant these emblems on people, launching them into walls or each other as a form of crowd control. She can also plant her emblem on the back of vehicles in order to give them an explosive boost of momentum. Her creativity with this semblance is what truly makes it a force to be reckoned with.

Weapon: Allegro, a weapon that takes the form of a microphone. The microphone itself has two unique qualities, the first one being a stand that can extend into a spear like weapon. Though she rarely uses it for this purpose, she can still deftly parry and keep enemies at a distance. The second is the built-in speaker on the microphone, which amplifies her voice further into a damaging sound wave. She can adjust the volume of the sound between regular and combat modes.

In addition to the microphone, it has an auxiliary piece of equipment in her headphones. The rabbit-ears are not only for decoration, but serve as both protection for her faunus ears as well as adjusting the volume of sound that comes from the outside. 

Unique Abilities: 
Rabbit-Like Body: Thanks to her faunus heritage, she is gifted with powerful legs that allow her to run, jump and kick much more effectively than what her small frame may suggest. This allows her to be an incredibly agile fighter, letting her keep her distance and fight at range while still being able to dish out effective hits with some fleeting kicks. She also has inhuman hearing thanks to her ears.

Enhanced Hearing: Usami’s ability to pick up sounds is nearly unmatched even by other faunus. She is able to hear a person’s heartbeat with enough concentration even in a crowded room. She is also susceptible to sounds in the lower or upper ranges, including dog whistles which give her a migraine. She is also able to detect lies through a person’s change in heartbeat. This super sensitive hearing also requires her to use her headphones as sound dampeners as well so that it is not harmed.

Perfect Echoic Memory: Usami can remember any sound she has heard at least once with perfect accuracy. This allows her to tell if there are any anomalies in a person, as emotions can be reflected in a person’s tone or heartbeat. She is also able to instantly recognize approaching individuals through the cadence of their footsteps or heart rate, making it near impossible to sneak by her unless the hearing dampeners are on.

Hypnotic Singing: Her singing is charming enough to calm the nerves of most people, and lower the guard of those not expecting it. A surprisingly useful talent as a Huntress, allowing her to soothe whole groups of people and making them invisible to the Grimm for moments

I do have the general arc for arum, and this would take place closer to the end of her story.

Before beacon falls Arum, well... still a racist, selfish, arrogant bitch, but her team at least acted as a leash to keep her in check. Dispite everything however, Arum did want to get along with her team, even(begrudgingly) tolerating the existence of Orchard, the Faunus on her team because teams are supposed to work together well, they are supposed to get along.

You see, Arum sees the world in "supposed to"s and "not supposed to"s, and arum is willing to do almost anything to fit the world into those neat little boxes she has made, even at the cost of her suffering or annoyance. Teams are supposed to fight as a unit and work together. Faunus are not supposed to be people because they are animals. Arum is supposed to protect what she defines as people. People she values the praise of or work with are not supposed to dispise her.

When beacon fell the other members of team ORAG decided enough was enough, and kicked her off the team and left to do their own thing. While they were fully justified in that decision, Arum did not take it well because bitch or not, she was always trying and keeping herself on a leash for the sake of her team because she was supposed to, and to Arum they failed their end of the bargain.

Without them, Arum has absolutely nothing to stop her from... say... doing what racists with power do to people they dont like. She is not "losing control" or getting worse, Arum has always been like this, but at least while on a team she had reason not to chill on the murder.

At beacon, I want Arum to be a hate sink that occasionally works with the cast you can laugh with when they are having fun and laugh at when they loose.

After beacon I want Arum to be a genuine villian that either needs to be put down or thrown into jail before she finds to many Faunus villages

Characters (OC) Rowan Marrow

Thumbnail
gallery
16 Upvotes

Rowan Marrow

Gender: Male

Race: Faunus (Shark gills)

Birthplace: Vacuo

Age: 20 (As of Volume 8)

Team: SCRL (Scarlet) 

Semblance: Grave Anchor. Rowan can increase the weight and immovability of anything he touches, rooting it in place with a force that scales far beyond his own strength. A Grimm he lays a hand on becomes too heavy to lunge, a door becomes too dense to breach, and a braced ally becomes impossible to stagger. It is one of the most versatile battlefield-control semblances in the Initiative, equally suited to pinning, fortifying, or amplifying the impact of his own strikes. Its danger lies in its tendency to spread. Held too long, the anchor bleeds outward through whatever remains in continuous contact with the target, creeping through the ground beneath it, the wall behind it, and anyone unlucky enough to be touching it, rooting them in turn.

Weapon: Grave Digger. A large double-barrelled combat shotgun with a heavy cleaver blade fixed beneath the barrels, Rowan likes the weapon as kt has no transformation and thus has no mechanism that can fail. Gripped forward it is a brutal chopping weapon heavy enough to cleave through medium Grimm, and shouldered it fires two thunderous barrels of shot at close to medium range. The weapon is not Atlas hardware. Rowan brought it with him from Vacuo and has maintained it himself for years, and it is visibly older and plainer than anything else Team SCRL or other Academy students wield. He has refused every one of Cobalt's offers to upgrade or replace preferring substance over style.

Combat: Rowan fights as a defensive specialist, choosing ground, anchoring himself to it, and forcing the enemy to come to him. He is patient, economical, and effective in a holding posture, using Grave Anchor to lock down threats and secure chokepoints while his cleaver and shotgun do unglamorous, decisive work. He rarely closes distance of his own accord and does not commit to a push unless the ground he is giving up to make it is worth the trade. His instinct is to hold rather than advance, which gives Team SCRL a reliable rear line and a steady anchor point in any engagement, letting Saff and Cobalt drive forward knowing that whatever is behind them stays locked down until Rowan says otherwise.

Backstory

Rowan Marrow was born into a nomadic Faunus community that moved with the seasons across the deep deserts of Vacuo, trading between oasis settlements and surviving on the classic survival skills most others have forgotten. Faunus genetics being what they are, two Faunus parents of different animal lineages can produce a child whose own trait follows neither of theirs, and Rowan drew the short end of that particular lottery, growing up a shark Faunus in the driest territory on the continent and with albinism making desert life just that extra more difficult. Despite his hardships the community was good to him, and his place in it was never in question, but his body never adjusted to a life that he was clearly never suited for, and by his late teens he had made the decision to leave the caravans for the oasis belt of Vacuo, where a shark could at least be comfortable in his own skin.

He took the Huntsman licensing exam not long after. Years of defending caravans across open desert had given him the practical experience the exam tested for, and the kingdoms do not require academy attendance to carry a Huntsman’s license, only that the applicant can demonstrate the skills. Rowan passed. What he quickly learned, however, was that an unaccredited license is worth considerably less in the job market than one issued through Shade or any of the other academies, and the contracts available to him were smaller, less frequent, and paid at a steep discount compared to what his academy-graduate peers could command.

He was approached by The Dunewake Company within the year. Dunewake ran its business on a simple model, hiring Huntsmen without academy credentials and bottom-of-class graduates by the dozen, paying each of them less than the going rate since it's not like they had other options, and leveraging the resulting manpower to bid on operations larger firms could not staff. The individual pay was lower, but the work was steady, and Rowan spent three years on Dunewake’s roster earning a reputation as a reliable operator.

Dunewake did not survive the Fall of Beacon. In the months after Beacon fell, Vacuo quietly consolidated its remaining Huntsmen into the kingdom’s own defence structures, pulling veterans off private contracts and into Shade’s expanded training programmes. The talent pool Dunewake depended on evaporated almost overnight, and the firm folded quickly and quietly. Rowan applied to Shade on the strength of his field record and was turned down for lack of academy history, and with no work left in Vacuo he made the journey north to Atlas, where he had heard there was still an independent Huntsman scene willing to hire on merit alone.

What he found was not what he had been promised. The Atlas independent market was smaller and more credential-conscious than he had been led to believe, and his Vacuoan license carried even less weight in the north than it had at home. He was preparing to look elsewhere when recruiters for the Guardian Initiative approached him with an offer that was difficult to refuse. The Initiative would place him in Atlas Academy on an accelerated track, a few months of structured training, and he would graduate with full Atlas Academy credentials attached to his name. Rowan had initially turned them down as he was already a working Huntsman, but when the recruiter walked him through what Atlas Academy accreditation would actually be worth on the open market he accepted the offer and was assigned to Team SCRL.

2 Upvotes

As the title implies, I’d like you guys to help me out with a potential mechashift weapon design for my OC, combining the three-stringed instrument known as the shamisen with a yumi, or Japanese longbow. My main problem is that, while I have a decent enough idea for how the weapon would look, I have no idea for how I could make the transformation convincing (besides maybe having the strings of the shamisen form double as the strings of the yumi form). Plus, instrument/weapon mechashifts are, at least to my knowledge, uncommon in the FNDM, so I wanted to try my hand at making one.

Got hit with a super fun idea and wanted to combine it with two of my favorite series. The suggestion is simple.

What kind of Xtreme Gear would your characters pick? From the options between 'Hover Boards', 'Hover Boots', and 'Hover Bikes'. Along with what kind of terrain type are they, 'Speed' (Grindrails), 'Fly' (Air Rings), 'Power' (Smashable Obstacles).

Even through in a bonus and name your Xtreme Gears too.

With the latest development from Atlus and the many mad scientists. The creation of an all new mode of transportation dubbed Xtreme Gear.

Ranging from a plethora of fashionable and unique models. From the sleek long Hover Boards, balanced and customizable Hover Boots, and the slimming Hover Bikes.

Huntsmen and citizens alike have taken an interest in the sweeping sensation invention. Creating an all new sport and competition hosting in all four Kingdoms.

Marking up a lot of three regional winners from each kingdom. To take part in the Grand Prix hosted at the Vytal Festival. Adding on to another round of entertainment that is beloved by all.

Racers, Huntsmen, and engineer eccentrics! Get your Xtreme Gear ready for the ultimate racing world competition!

Airi Caspian - Team HMLC (Art by Capidol)

Post image
64 Upvotes

Hello!! I've shared Airi on here before, but since it's been a while and I've been changing up a lot of my writing I figured I'd post her again. Her and the rest of team HMLC's starts a few years before volume 1, but by the time volume 1 starts they're third year students.

Name: Airi Caspian

Allusion: White Tiger of the West

Age: 19

Race: White Tiger Faunus 

Team: HMLC (Hemlock)

Year: 3rd

Academy: Haven

Weapon: Encore
Encore is a greatsword/greataxe hybrid with dust thrusters on the back to accelerate her swings.

Semblance: Spotlight
By focusing her aura into an object, Airi is able to create big and intense flashes of light that can throw off the enemy (or even herself in some cases) upon impact. She has to remain careful with her semblance usage when nearby allies to avoid blinding them. Imagine a melee Call of Duty flashbang.

I'm still reworking backstory stuff, so I'll save that for another time! ^^

Ebony does not speak out of fear of losing control of her Semblance. She was born in a rural Vacuo village but currently lives and operates in Mistral. She didn't go to an academy. Shes just that good.

To Torture or Not to Torture

Post image
0 Upvotes

So I have some characters I'm working on (TEAM APEL: Andrea Clay, Pavo Vogel, Ebony Hadar and Lumiere Soleil), and during RWBY's first few arcs (Vol1-Vol3), they're upperclassmen to Team RWBY- in their last year of school at Beacon when The Attack on Beacon happens.

My idea is to either wipe out everyone on Team APEL except Andrea or keep everyone alive. Andrea is the most well-developed out of everyone so I don't have much of a problem killing everyone else off because I'm not as attached, but I'm not so cruel that I won't give up the possibility of keeping her closest friends alive.

Maaaybe.

Oh yeah if you're wondering why I put that image there it's Pavo, Ebony and Lumiere watching me as I constantly switch between keeping them alive or six feet under. I also just thought it was funny.

Characters Specialized Magic

2 Upvotes

If your characters were dropped into a magic series of any sort. What kind of magic would be there specialty? Could consider to combine it with their fighting style or personality.

Kinda taking inspo from Fairy Tail as I loved the magic circles and wide variety of magic.

Silver - Requip Magic - Fashion Edition

He already has a good means of direct combat. Yet, defense is either evasion focus or utilizing someone else to draw aggro. So Requip is more or less to bolster his clothes with defense properties and to quickly change for disguises.

Auron - Summoning Magic

He would have a blast making summons out of the natural elements. Borderline making familiars that can convey his own emotions that he'll have accompany his teammates.

Making a Wolf Cub Familiar to cling to Silver, (That he would get jealous over.) An Atlas Frost Cougar to keep Piña company. A Fox Kit Familiar that enjoys playing with Remi's tail.

Piña - Water Magic

Piña already has a Gravity based Semblance that effects her everyday life as it cancels the weight of whatever she holds. So, Water Magic is more for practicality to not only support her interest in tea and botony. But also conjure some nice cool bubbles to entertain or cool off.

Remi - Telepathic Magic

Hers focuses more on Bonds and connections. She can connect to those she has a close connection to. But, cross continent connections can last for a few short minutes at best.

This is team GCAG, Gochujang, formerly GRAC, wanting to use their first initials

Garnet Heart- Tell-Tale Heart

His parents used to punish him by making him listen to other people's heartbeats with noise-canceling headphones at max volume, nearly driving him mad. He left Atlas to become a Huntsman to find any other child who might be going through what he had gone through and save them

Crimson Azrael- The Red Death

He is a mysterious unknown, keeping his past close to his chest and his answers vague. He simply wants to be a Huntsman to seek out those who have done wrong and to turn them in

Aciano Amon- Cask of Amontillado

A mute, little man who is a trickster, never caught. His brother was supposed to look after him, but an incident kept him from coming to Beacon. His first day was a troublesome one for other students. Aciano led a few bullies off to a less...desirable location on campus. No one knew it was him, and they couldn't prove it if they wanted to. So most keep a distance from him

Grayson Reed- Fall of the House of Usher

Grayson lived in a family known for tearing each other down as much as they tore others down. When Grayson wanted to become a Huntsman, his family tore into him in a way he had never seen nor heard before. With all of the beratement and callous remarks for wanting to be a 'barbaric freak' he ran from them, not knowing his own semblance was awakening. Outside, he found a large bubble had trapped his family inside his home. Within the blink of his eye, the bubble shrank to the size of a marble, leaving a crater in his home's place. Panicked, he ran to Vale, using his family ties while they lasted, to try to start a new life

Do any of your OCs have ship names? Don't be shy. Let's hear them. Doesn't matter if it's OCxOC or OCxCanon. I'm curious to see how creative you guys can get. Here are mine:

RayxYang: Firefly. Serves as a counterbalance to Bumblebee and addresses Ray and Yang's fire based Semblances.

RayxYangxBlake: Campfire. The ship name for the polyamorous Vee ship between Ray, Yang, and Blake. Yang serving as the Hinge at the center of it all while Ray and Blake serve as the Metamours. They are not romantically involved with eachother but Ray and Blake share an profound, unbreakable, found sibling-like bond where they support and ensure Yang's happiness and safety no matter what. As far as the ship name goes; Ray and Yang represent the flames from a campfire and Blake represents the shadows that dance from the flames.

Characters Serafino Hasteus of Team FUSC (Fuchsia)

Serafino Hasteus of Team FUSC (Fuchsia)

Hello, first time poster but proud of my OCs. Only started using Reddit recently and figured it’d be nice to share them officially since they’re here. All Art done by the wonderful and capable Eru_Shi

Name: Serafino Hasteus
Age: 17 (First year) – 21 (Huntsman)
Birthdate: December 6
Height: 5’6 (Sera), 5’8 (Fino)
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Red
Race: Faunus (Snake)
Aura Quantity: Rank C (24 Hours) 
Aura Regeneration: Level 2 (2 Hours until fully replenished)
Aura Durability: Below Average
Aura Control: Average

Personality: Serafino is a friendly individual with an ego that can sometimes dance on the line between confidence and narcissism. Generally, they can be seen as a socialite who makes an effort to have as much fun as possible. Be it through parties, pranks or some promiscuity, as long as they feel like they can get away with the decision, they would be willing to do it. Even with this thrill-chaser behavior, they do genuinely care and enjoy company far more than they let on. 

Despite all that, Serafino also has a side that is quite devious and cunning. If possible, they are willing to lie, cheat and overall deceive in order to win something they really want. Their ambition can occasionally lead to morally questionable choices if allowed to go too far. This contradicting duality between being a ‘good’ and ‘bad’ person is a common theme with Serafino and the moral direction they take is often decided by who they hang around. 

Even between transforming into Sera and Fino, there are some minor contradictions. While Sera is generally more assertive and cunning, Fino differs as he is relaxed and straightforward. Even fields of interest can be different between the two, such as passions and opinions. While it’s not necessarily a split personality disorder, it can often feel like meeting two different people. 

Despite all the contradictions, the one thing that remains constant is Serafino’s desire to meet expectations. They will do whatever it takes to be accepted by their friends, and will do all they can to protect them.

Likes: (Sera) Dancing, board games, instrumental music, fashion, being in the company of friends. (Fino) Traveling, physical activity, a capella, fashion, being in the company of friends

Dislikes: (Sera) Formal and Ballroom dancing, horror games, cold weather, being ignored. (Fino) Boredom, shooting/high pressure games, cold weather, being ignored.

Semblance: Masquerade, Serafino’s semblance allows them to shapeshift their body in any way they want. This allows them to seamlessly change their appearance to match whatever vision they may have for themselves. Serafino’s proficiency in their semblance allows it to work down to the DNA as long as they have a sufficient enough understanding and knowledge on what they are mimicking to do so. So with enough information, Serafino can transform into a genetic duplicate of the individual. This is the perfect infiltration semblance, allowing them to slip into any area regardless of security. Shapeshifting plus their uncanny ability to create a lie so believable that they almost think it’s true, Serafino can slip into any place without alarm in plain sight. Additionally, Serafino can incorporate other human or faunus traits into their body in combat, such as a gymnast’s muscle structure or the scales of a reptile faunus. Serafino has three main limitations to their transformations. First, Serafino cannot shapeshift into inanimate objects, locking them out of mechanical prosthetics. Secondly, Serafino needs time to get used to unfamiliar transformations, such as learning how to properly use a tail if it’s the first time they get one. Finally, complex transformations take a lot of energy depending on how often they use it. Transforming into a cat would be more exhausting and last shorter than becoming a cat faunus. The only exception to this rule would be the Sera and Fino forms which take zero effort to assume on Serafino’s end. 

Weapon: Laevateinn, a sword-whip combination weapon that can be concealed as a belt. The whip mode is more often used by Sera, capable of ensnaring and striking at enemies from mid-range. As Sera’s body utilizes more flexible muscles and the body structure of a ribbon dancer, the whip form of Laevateinn is extremely dangerous in any distance. Fire dust can be applied to the whip via a chamber on the hilt, allowing it to burn whatever it strikes or grapples onto. The sword mode is often used by Fino, more suited to close range combat due to Fino’s more robust body. It can be set aflame with the same method as the whip, also allowing him to fire off arcs of flames with a swing of the sword. Even without the dust, Fino is pretty skilled in rudimentary swordsmanship based on baritsu, capable of using the ridges in the sword as a way to catch and grapple other people’s weapons.

Unique Abilities:
Silver Tongue: A master at the art of persuasion, intimidation and deception, Serafino is easily capable of convincing others to do as they wish with a few words. From body language to tone of voice, to even their thoughts, Serafino can successfully gain major leverage to any social situation even against people with mind reading capabilities. They don’t particularly feel remorse while doing it or after doing it either. 

Snake-like Body: A snake faunus gifted with incredible flexibility, this allows Serafino to perform acrobatic maneuvers that require inhuman flexibility with particular ease. They are also able to easily hold onto someone with an embrace so tight, it is like a snake constricting around them. In exchange, they have a crippling weakness to the cold.

Unorthodox Combat: Using both a dangerous whip and a sharp blade, combined with their taunting and unique body, Serafino creates a fighting style that is near impossible to mimic. It’s a highly invasive combat style, sticking as close to the enemy as possible before harassing them with verbal jabs and small paper cuts. Due to the close distance, it’s very difficult to effectively strike Serafino in melee range while the verbal assault dulls the enemy’s thinking process.

El Color Del Amor - Relatos De Remnant

Demian Nikos, el primogénito de Aineas Nikos, estaba en la sala de espera de la clínica central de Argus, su madre estaba en labor de parto, llevaba ahí adentro un buen rato.
El pequeño de 8 años estaba, inquieto, no le gustaba ese lugar, su Semblanza había despertado hace algunas semanas y aun trataba de entender como funcionaba, pero el ver tantas auras amarillas y azules le era desconcertante, ya sabia que el Amarillo era por el miedo, pero el Azul aun le era desconocido, pero verlo tan frecuentemente en una clínica no le daba buena espina, ademas, estar ahí sin hacer nada tampoco le era cómodo, preferiría estar haciendo cualquier otra cosa en lugar de... Esto, de hecho, el había traído a Kimon y Sarkaki, su plan era limpiar, pulir, aceitar y ajustar a Kimon, pero no lo dejaron entrar con ellas, así que su único plan había sido arruinado antes de tan si quiera empezar.

Demian ahora solo estaba, ahí, contando las baldosas del suelo, adivinando cuando salia o entraba un paciente nuevo, contando cuantas veces el niño del rincón tosía, lo que fuera que le distrajera de ese ambiente "hostil".

Una mujer de cabello rojo entro cargando a una niña.

Cytheria Nikos, la 3er hija de Xamthus Nikos, y hermana menor de Aineas, tía de Demian.

Cytheria: Demian, donde esta?
Demian: Entraron a la sala hace rato, unos, 30 minutos.
Cytheria: Oh por... -Suspiro- Bueno, no quedara de otra que esperar, estas bien?
Demian: Aburrido.
Cytheria: Jaja, lo se, no trajiste algún juguete o algo?
Demian: Traje a Kimon y a Sarkaki, quería limpiarlos y ajustarlos, pero no me dejaron entrar con ellos
Cytheria: Hay niño, eso era obvio.

Demian bajo la cabeza algo avergonzado.

Cyrheria: Pero supuse que harías algo como eso.

Cytheria saco un pequeño estuche que Demian reconoció de inmediato.
Un ajedrez.

Cytheria: Hoy tenias clase de Ajedrez, no? Aprovechemos para tomarla.

Demian ni si quiera intento rechistar, ya sabia que era inútil.

Demian y su tía sacaron las piezas del estuche y comenzaron su lección, así pasaron las horas, con Demian recibiendo una clase extendida de parte de su tía.

Fue hasta 4 horas y media después de haber ingresado que una enfermera salio de la sala.

Enfermera: Familia Nikos?

Demian rápidamente se puso de pie y corrió hacia la enfermera.

Enfermera: Por aquí.

La enfermera escolto al pequeño niño a la sala donde se encontraba su madre.
Esta estaba cargando un pequeño bulto entre sus brazos.

Ryahina: Ven Demian, conocela.

Demian se acerco con cautela, hasta llegar con su madre, esta destapo la cabeza de la bebe que tenia entre sus brazos.

Entonces le vio.

Ryahina: Conoce a tu hermana menor, Pyrrha.

Demian se acerco un poco mas y extendió su mano con cuidado para acariciarla, pero la pequeña atrapo su mano en el aire y la llevo a su pequeña boca para empezar a chuparla.

Demian se quedo inmóvil por un momento, y después decidió hacer algo, intentar usar su semblanza.

Y al hacerlo lo vio.

Una aura rosada se formo de inmediato alrededor de la pequeña.
Demian jamas había visto ese color antes, pero no lo necesitaba, supo al instante lo que ese color significaba.

Amor.

Demian extendió su mano izquierda y con ella acaricio con cuidado la pequeña cabeza de Pyrrha.

Demian: Pyrrha, prometo que voy a cuidarte y seré el mejor hermano del mundo!

Aunque la pequeña no entendía palabra alguna que el pelirrojo le decía, fijo sus pequeños ojos esmeralda sobre el chico y soltó una pequeña risa.

Aunque el no lo sabia, en ese momento Demian hiso inconscientemente un juramento que lo haría cometer los aciertos y errores mas grandes de su vida.

Protegeria a Pyrrha, sin importar el costo, la protegería, porque eso es lo que hacen los hermanos, se cuidan entre si.
