[quote=@Lucius Cypher] Ye, seventeen may be young, but that's old by highschool standards. Plus ya know, Remant =/= real world, so what a highschool for us might not be what a highschool of them would be. I mean, Yang isn't 21 but she got served drinks and access to a club, and that was before she started punching people. Plus we got government sanctioned child soldiers out the wazoo. [/quote] Point of fact 21 is not even close to a standardized drinking age or age of concession. 18 or 19 is usually more common with some countries having it as low as 16. Yang's old enough to be of drinking age in the majority countries round the world. It's not a valid comparison. On that note though I went looking for a previous discussion I thought was about Beacon being high school not university, found it but it was the other way around. My mistake. [quote]When I originally created Sarina, I based Beacon on a high school level (in RWBY, I thought the schools were comparable to RL high schools) and I wanted to RP as a senior so I made her 18 and as a top ranking student. Later on the general consensus I believe was that the academies were more like universities so with that I also had to go off with the fact she was a prodigal child which also entirely changed the background of the original Sarina in mind retconning the the few background info (which I have to find) I put out such as before the inclusion of Vega into the RP. Those few could be considered non-canonical. [/quote] [quote=@Plank Sinatra] Have you missed everything re: Sangue's backstory in the IC and Character tabs so far, or have you just ignored it? For someone raised outside all four kingdoms - and most of civilization in general - for her whole life, it's perfectly plausible. [/quote] My most sincere apologies for having a real life that prevents me from keeping up with 36 different CSes and 2265 IC posts only a fraction of which impact anything I will ever do in this RP. If it's relevant to my character I will read it, if not I don't have the time to spare. [quote=@Lugubrious] [@Lucius Cypher] While on the topic your character, Prince brings up a very good point. Exactly what is Gren's weakness? He has the most firepower out of any character in this RP, potentially, as well as state-of-the-art armor, aura defense despite having next to no organic parts in his body, a semblance that is capable of crippling anyone's movement, and numerous other benefits. [/quote] [@Lucius Cypher] While I was looking for the discussion above I found this. Other than making a concession where EMPs were concerned you never really answered the question. Was wondering if you could elaborate.
