Color me interested!

Would it be all right to ask questions at this time about character building, or would it be better to wait until the RP post itself is made and to have that discussion in the OOC?

I don't mind discussing the character building now. Only reason why I didn't place up the character sheet template and such in here is cause I wanted to gauge interest first since there are so many RWBY role plays and it may be a little saturated.

I've been looking for a RWBY RP with an interesting spin on it: I'm 100% on board.

For clarification, though: we're not playing the no doubt skilled, experienced and dependably veterans of the Great War, but new recruits that are yet to complete training, on this mission to save artifacts which could ruin the world. Correct?

Correct. Think about it as the children of those who fought in the war. My aim was to avoid the over elite style characters and that each player has some room for growth, both as a person and in their skills. The war ended recently, three years ago maybe, and the academies have been in construction for maybe two years. Numbers in this regard aren't important since a war doesn't end over night, but it allows you to understand context and theme. 

I also felt that branching too far away from the familiar formula would create too much disarray and confusion. I still want it to feel somewhat RWBY like but with a different twist, otherwise it's just another "swords with guns" RP.
