EDIT: Here's my shot at this. Figured I'd attempt it now, even though there's so many submissions already. I'll still edit it a bit later, after I get some much needed sleep. v_v

Some of y'all really missing the fontmeme header at the top, huh?

I don't know if I'm going to scream about the sheet being followed to the letter aesthetically, though, all jokes aside. Lot of you guys going for foreigners with some very interesting backstory design! I love to see it.

As for those who asked about if there's space well, right now we only have seven open character slots and there is a total of thirteen applicants. The math is going to make me have a conniption. I hate math! But on the plus side, I like good characters so I will enjoy reading all of them.

I thought about modifying the look of my sheet, but by the time I wanted to it was close to 2am here. Oops. Hence why I left some parts blank to edit with a fully awake brain!

Hello! I'm about to go to bed, but I figured I would ask my questions before I forgot them. Please forgive me if this is information you've already shared. I'm just a bit loopy from being up 24+ hours. Thank you for understanding.

1. Do I still have time to do a quick revision/polish of my character sheet. I thought of some more I would like to add to his appearance and back story. It wouldn't be now. But within the next 24 hours for sure.

And 2. Would you be alright with lurkers?

Thank you for your time! I appreciate it!

PS. I think it's totally awesome that you are sticking to your two teams plan. Mad respect for staying firm. I am positive you'll figure out the math.

For sure!

At the moment my train of thought is gravitating towards not giving much helpful advice on sheets as I want to judge them all on the same merits when they are finished. Nobody gets a leg up on another person, basically, which is why I've been pretty quiet on finished/WIP applications in terms of their powers, etc. With only having seven slots and this much turnout I have to see what personalities and powers overlap and what kind of dynamic each would lend to in a group. Things I’m looking for the most are:

- Personalities that would create a dynamic in a team.
- Backstories that aren’t too much of the same thing, at least per group.
- Understanding of fundamental RWBY mechanics.
- The RWBY color/fairytale rule for naming conventions.
- Players who can commit long term; posting histories to help me verify what kind of player applicants are.

Yeah, you can revise anything until I declare that I am reviewing sheets.

As in people who don’t make it hanging out in the thread, chatting, etc? Yeah, why not. I don’t see anything wrong with that.

Did you merge personality and backstory or something?

Also seven foot two holy fucking shit. Maybe he should play Center for Mistral's basketball team instead.

Ah yeah, I did. Just more comfortable with that these days, cause history's basically entwined with personality anyways. You want me to separate em again?

~~also his original size was going to be 'taller than anyone else' but I can't really realize that without all the sheets in~~

I think if I can see the personality traits in history, it'll be fine. But generally I prefer everyone to follow my coding as outlined as it typically shows they can follow instructions. However, I realize recently that being that much of a stick-in-the-mud about it is just kind of silly.

Does that mean I can... do things...?

No but seruously I'll fix mine. I realized I didn't just miss the header.

@TGM Yo !
I edited most of Artimisia - Now Thyma - sheet.

I read on what you mentioned, so I figured I'd change the name for something more fitting. Thyma is Greek inspired, Thymós, meaning anger. The rest is obvious I think!

Some of the text is the same but I added details and information, or better description. Other parts I rewritten completely. The only thing I am not certain is the Tangibles part -is that part necessary? I feel like I included most of what's necessary among the rest of the text. It could be filled with trivial other likes, dislikes or stuff she's good at not Hunter or Combat related...but her personality and how I built her means there is not much of that developed yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I actually thought your original name was perfect but that's cool, too. Might help me figure out TEAM NAMES easier who knows. Up to you if you want to keep it or revert it back. :)

As for intangibles think of them like what they are good at and not good at. For example, in Rai's RWBY RP some options I picked for my character were:

  • Talented Weapons Combatant and Melee Fighter.
  • Brave and Headstrong, capable at taking on enemies and adapting as the battlefield requires.
  • Keen battlefield awareness, though hindered by impulsive decision-making.
  • Visual learner; effective at learning from enemies and allies fighting styles by seeing it.
  • Capable of following orders despite personality issues.
  • Informal huntress training from age nine to fourteen and formal training at the combat school known as Oscuro Academy; making her a more refined combatant than those who are newer to the skillset.

  • Arrogant and Brash, leading to impulsive and insensitive decisions.
  • Prefers speed over power and precision; resulting in sloppy maneuvers.
  • Not book smart; struggles paying attention to technical data not presented like folktales.
  • Aura abilities are unlocked but only as the baseline level.
  • Does not trust or particularly work well with others. Is standoffish.
  • Paranoid. Will need character building and organic friendships to get past her trauma.

I hope that's helpful?

I see. Ironically, some of those traits definitely fits my character. I'll find some things.

I might have liked Artemisia better... (。・・。)
Probably will go back to that but keep the other name change.
