Characters will start pretty much where Team RWBY started in the beginning of Season 1. Newly minted huntsmen ready for evaluation, study, and occasionally encounters that will turn out a bit more than they can handle at times. While we will battle Grimm in creative ways, the insidious natures of Faunus and Humans alike will come up eventually. I’ll also periodically ask people what they want to see and what changes I can make going forward if things aren’t turning out to everyone’s taste. Naturally, we will start with an initiation arc.[/indent] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210916/51221376e31d3d694aa7381c73e6bdf8.png[/img][/center] [indent][url=https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Huntsman_Academies]Academies[/url] [url=https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Aura]Aura[/url] [url=https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Dust]Dust[/url] [url=https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Grimm]Grimm[/url] [url=https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Huntsmen]Huntsmen[/url] [url=https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Semblance]Semblance[/url] [url=https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Weapon]Weapons[/url][/indent] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210915/bea2036e1a8dfb33684d6e7759019db0.png[/img][/center] [indent]Characters should be 15-18 years of age as they are new initiates of Haven Academy in the City of Mistral. They can have various flavors of background as much as it makes sense within the context of a newly minted huntsman or huntress. If they are not native to Mistral, then you will have to sufficiently explain why they picked Haven over Beacon, Shade, or Atlas. It’s pretty simple, so if you have questions please ask them in this OOC.

I’m a little more touch-and-go than other GMs, but I’ve learned a process that works for me that might not work for others. - I will be checking up on people once a week, if you do not inform me of your status in three weeks I’m going to have to let you go. Myself and other players in your team should hold you accountable just as much you hold me accountable as a GM. - Real Life takes precedence over this hobby we share, but a short post shouldn’t take all that much time here and there. If something is coming up for me IRL I will tell you and I expect the same from you. - I will be looking at characters to see if they have a strong foundation as well where their personalities mesh with other characters. Team RWBY has distinct, different personalities with generally different tropes attached, so try to keep that in mind. This will not be a gamechanger if we end up with two stoic characters on the same squad. - None of the events of RWBY sans the prehistory are canon for our RP. - I expect everyone to be courteous and polite to each other. Banter is fine, but being derisive and hostile is a net negative and if I see attitude problems I will not tolerate them. - If a player leaves the RP I will NPC them until I can find an In-Character reason for them to depart. - I do not expect novels, but the writing level is Casual-to-Advanced. In this threshold. You should be able to spellcheck your writing and write two-to-three paragraphs when needed. Short posts are not discouraged. You should also have the knowledge of how the RWBY setting fundamentally works. - Once all sheets are accepted I will post a link to my discord community, of which a discord channel for this RP will be present. For fluid communication it would be best you join it. [/indent] [/cell][/row][/table]
