--letter of cancellation--
Alright, everyone. I hate to do this, but I think we all know it's been coming for a long while.

Heroes of a different story is dead. We've lost too many players too many times, the planned plot is at least another 5 months off course, and I have entirely lost my motivation and inspiration as a GM.

It's been a good run, and I had a lot of fun while it lasted, but I am not the GM you all deserved, and this roleplay is a shadow of what it could have been.

If I were to try and keep it going, I feel like I would be leading you all on, delaying the inevitable.

In all honesty, I wish we could keep going, but... I just don't have it in me. You all probably noticed I was online less and less frequently, responding late, entirely forgetting to say anything about progress.

With this apology, I would like to officially close the curtain, and release you all to find role-plays with worthy GMs.

Sincerely, Sean Stevens.

PS. I might see you guys around, might not. But one thing is certain; you can find me on the RWBY wiki if you ever decide to come rip my throat out for wasting your time.

---For any randoms who stumble across this thread in the future---
This character sheet was designed as an ongoing collaborative effort by the members of the RWBY wiki, covering every possible detail a RWBY OC might ever need. If you are at a loss when designing a template of your own for a RWBY roleplay, use it. It was designed with the aim of unifying efforts and enjoying the series as a collective, and I urge you to carry it on going forward, just try not to use its power for evil.
