[@Mr Allen J] I think that is the best idea so far. I'll start working on a CS ASAP.

But for real, I like the idea of Beacon's past. If we want to do directly post-war, we probably wouldn't have any of the current staff (Unless you all think that Ozpin doesn't age, like I do), since the war was nearly 80 years before the events in RWBY.

I also vote for relatively near past, like maybe 20-40 years before RWBY. We could get some cameos of STRQ as like a fourth-year team, if we go with 20-ish years before. That might be too close to the current timeline, though.
