Oh I hadn't really looked into the character sheet yet and at seeing it there's something that's somewhat bothersome. The color naming rule.[/quote]
"Bothersome"?
[quote=@DoomFlavored]
For starters it's barely even applied in the show itself and most 'connections' made by fans and such on wikis are speculation at best. Most connections are so loose it barely matters. Yang in particular being a dragon (which definitely describes a color /sarcasm). And others just don't even have one.[/quote]
Grossly incorrect. Yang itself is Chinese for yellow, or a close approximation thereof. Yang Xiao Long means "Sunny Little Dragon"
[quote=@DoomFlavored]And it seems like roleplays that use this rule seem to forget the more important aspect of RWBY characters. That they're all based on some kind of legend, lore, or history. Such as Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, Joan of Arc, Snow White, Thor, Wizard of Oz, and others.[/quote]
Don't worry,I'm doing that too. This is my problem, so you don't need to worry about it. It's just something to ask in private, as opposed to putting it on the CS. That ruins the fun, just a bit.
[quote=@DoomFlavored]Either way, not my thread. But this focus on the color naming rule in every rp i've seen for rwby has gotten on my nerves, particularly when it always discounts the character I want to play unless I make the loosest connection. (Though I guess that would be how the series does it anyway so whatever)[/quote]
Why would the color naming theme discount the character you want to play? The Color Naming Rule has in-world justifications. So... should I assume that you didn't get past Volume One?
