I've made more mistakes than any man, woman, or child on this planet... - Prof. Ozpin
Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long. Team RWBY; an exceptional group of huntresses in training. However, there are always great people being born. Some are wasted and in the end fade into obscurity. Others however stand out like lights in the darkness. Beacons, you could say.
One year before there was RWBY, a few such lights gathered.

In not so poetic terms, this will be a small RP that takes place one year before the events of RWBY season 1. Players will be in control of first year students at Beacon. I say small because there will only be three openings for players. I will be in control of my own team of OCs, and I will have a co-GM as one member of a second team. The three openings will of course fill in the three slots left over on that team.
What is the rest of the plot? Well that's for you to find out. All I will reveal now is that it will heavily center around Beacon Academy and the Grim. It will be a short story, unfolding over the course of a year, and I hope to see it all the way to the end. I'd love your help in doing so.
My co-gm is my "friend" RyuHll. We've both been RPing for quite some time (many, many sad, pathetic, lonely years) so we've got a good idea of what we're doing (probably...).
This is just an interest check thread, but I will still put down a character sheet in case your mind lights on fire and you want to get your character out there before you forget.
CAUTION: When making a character, please try to avoid names that begin with vowels if you can. Remember, we have to come up with team names, and thus we need four letters that work well together. Mashing together vowels does not work very well. Eiei is just one 'o' away from being a song we sing to children... if you know what I mean. So, maybe even skip giving your character a name, and then we can collab and come up with an awesome team name. The short version is: be careful when you name your character.
NOTE: Since I have given you the option to get started on your characters now, I'll let you know: Beacon is said to be an academy for the best of the best, so feel free to make characters with that in mind. Just try not to go overboard and into the realm of retardedly OP Mary Sue. If Ruby can slice trees in half with one hand at the age of 15, so can you. Since I've given you this leeway, I'm prepared to reign you in if you accidentally go too far. I've given some examples down below (they're the characters I'll be using.). They're meant to be stronger than you, so aim for a little bit below their level. Other than that, feel free to make characters with loads of potential.
Here's my characters for examples:
If you want to know more, just ask. I'm trying to keep this somewhat light, as I'll just be redoing it all when I make the full thread later. Making a CS now is not necessary. I'll be making my final decisions on the three people I want in the RP when I put up the main OOC/IC thread. In short, chime in if you're interested, and then get to work on your character if you wish. Otherwise, when I've gotten three or four responses, I'll get to work on the main thread. Once that's up I'll give everyone who chimed in a few days to post a character and then I'll pick from those. In other words, this is not first come first serve.
