@Shadow Dragon, it depends because the solution differs from person to person. But I just chat with my lover or play games with friends. Watch "Memes" with them. Ultimately, the little things.

Just tried Long Island Ice tea for the first time. I can see why people love this. Life is good.
But what if it is a made up naming for a color? That is a question I never get a response back at.
However, I am going to rest for the time being, I'll be up later to see if there are any more updates, but for the most part, I hope everyone enjoys the remainder of the rp.
(Fun Fact, Noir Black is a subversion of comics and noir based theming. As in Mysteries and what not. She was fun to make.)
And even if it isn't the naming convention that is bothering him for whatever reason. He still has no reason to post his "Ideal Character sheet." And the color rule. Like, everyone here knows it, and the GM even said he wasn't enforcing it since the interest check. There is NO point of posting a link to it. Like he did so two to three days ago.
It is all so... contradictory. Especially as you put it "He could have just posted to the GM in a PM." Like, ever since his first post, it seems like he wanted to man handle this, despite... Since the Interest Check... "Alternate Universe.".
I'm not even upset. It is just me going. "Why is he here? What is your purpose of being on this OOC? If you wanted to apply, you would have requested a spot... The very first post." So it isn't a matter of "extensive". He's either busy, or he isn't. He wants to, or does not want to. It just... It isn't logical.
<Snipped quote by CAS1006>
Ozpin I believe is stated to predate the war that inspired people to start naming their children after colors, probably the same with salem, assuming that's the name she was born with.
Also Sun isn't the first to be named after a deity, i mean hell Neptune is on his team, Nora's last name is based on the women who brought warriors to valhalla
That is fair, but still. Ooblec is named after a Dr.Suss entity. Which isn't even a real color like most characters are named after to some degree. (I say to some degree, because again, if we had to be ultra technical and what not, four of these characters are not quite fitting in some areas in the canon, but it is a big whatever to me. It just furthers the point of the rule should not be enforced. Not that we are.)
________________________
I apologize to everyone else on this if I seem very ranty at the moment. But you can see my reasoning above why I am very irked a bit.
What I do have is a full year of experience running a RWBY roleplay, and almost two years of ongoing experience studying and working with every minute detail of the setting.
My reasons for not applying are rather extensive, with the primary one being that while i was debating whether I would do so, and which character I would use, enough others applied that I figured it would be pointless.
If you'll look back, most if not all of the comments I have made were advisement based on personal experience of ways to ensure consistency with the canon to the closest possible degree.
That is super and all, but it also falls down to irrelevancy. Let's not forget this is an Alternate Universe Rp. While it might share the world to a larger degree, you cannot just go "Consistently canon." More power to you for liking such a thing, that is super actually... But it isn't your rp. And you come off as really pretentious...
That is like me going into anything you're running and giving you a know it all response to everything. "No 'A' should be like this and that."
This isn't me being a bitch, but what you did was kind of rude, especially since everyone here just wants to have fun.
Last Edit, I swear: I'm fine with the color naming rule. Except the fact Sun Wukong exist in RWBY. A Chinese Deity...
Then Ozpin, Salem (Which is a location...), and just... These things take a flying monkey shit dump on that rule with the canon. When characters in the source material shit on it, why can't I? Why can't everyone? I don't have to follow it when these characters deliberately just ignore it (In the canon no less). Hell... Oooblec is named after a nonexistant color (Dr.Suss would like to have some words with you) no less.
"You'll do fine Cas. Besides, your mother has been waiting years to see you again." A broad voice spoke to the armored male, the two of them moving sarcophagi like contraptions around that displayed large suits of armors. "Nervous people will pick on you...?" There was silence despite the crowd. "Too old...?" There was an amused chuckle at the last response. The Speaker wore tattered robes, having a large spear on his back, a gray bow band around his head to hold his gray hair back. His ruby eyes staring at the shorter male beside him.
The male turned to him as he exhaled. "If you Really want to know, you need only ask what is bothering me rather than guessing." He shot rather coldly before brushing his ponytail back. "Besides, you should be worrying about yourself. After all, far be it for me to know what is going to happen to you." There was a grin that was seen forming at the lips. The eyes being completely invisible to even the most trained of eyes. "But if I did have a fear? 'Take off your mask young man.' Yeaaah... No." The male chuckled as he felt himself bump into the side of the ship, it was mostly just a seat he bumped into. His armor let off a slight clank.
"Man, you really don't change too much, do you." The older man chuckled. "What's the change if it isn't skill? No point in changing who I am, the skill just refines what I am capable of." The younger male responded as he shook his head, he was taking a seat in the back. "Anything else?"
"Well... Cassius, just promise you won't go back into hiding again. Contracts might be good for you, hunting Grimm and all, but I don't want you to live a lonely life." The older male gave a smile, his right arm flexing as he gave a thumbs up. "I guess what I'm saying is.... Hail To you!"
Cassius sighed as he rested his face in both hands. "Mathias, get out... Now please..." With that, he was saluted as the spear man left the ship. It was simply an empty experience seeing as his ward would be separated from him. Yet this piqued interest to a certain girl... Before Cassius even knew it, a women was standing next to him.
"Quite the trick you did there... Do you live in everyone's shadows." Cassius joked before turning to the well dressed women.
She stood quite tall for a female... But there was something uncanny about her... She was entirely black and white... it even went as far as her lipstick. She lowered her shades somewhat, her eyes staring at the individual in question. "Quite a bold appearance you have, yet there is an air of mystery... Perhaps you'll indulge my curiosity?"
"The only thing bold here is your appearance. It is like if I was to use a Typewriter, and had it draw a women with text, Somehow... Like those dumb faces everyone post in comments on Bluetube..." Cassius retorted.
The women in question let out an amused chuckle as she took a seat next to him. "Allow me to formally apologize. My name is Noir Black... I know little of anyone on this ship, yet I seen quite an interesting movement of Sarcophagi... I just had to see.. And look what I see...? A man with a mask that spells vanity, with armor, fur on a shoulder... and even a waist cloth of a sort... It is a sight to behold, wouldn't you agree? But it begs the question... Why do you wear all that? To intimidate, to conceal...? You're not a female pretending to be a man... are you?" She leaned in inquisitively as she had a note pad out, sketching Cassius as if she was making a dossier of a sort.
Cassius huffed and let out an agitated sigh. "I can conform I am a man, but I can also say I wear this armor the same reason you wear a shirt; to cover up... But before this... 'Interview' goes any further... Why don't you give me a name?"
The well groomed women smirked as she set the notepad she had down on her lap, her arms folded over her chest, head was tilted back, the light shining on her. "You may call me... Noir Black!"
"Oh wait... You already stated that... But thanks for the silly pose." Cassius chuckled before joining in, he had over hand under his beast area, somewhat over the abdomen, left hand at a slight diagonal going to the right. head somewhat tilted down so he'd overcast to Noir. He must have looked quite silly with her... "Cassius Alexandros Lumya Svent!"
"Yeeess! You did the Bizarre Adventures poses with me!" Noir cheered before the two broke out into laughter.

Skin: Paper White.
Frame: She is somewhat stock with her thick legs, has a B cup sized bust. Height: 5'7 Weight: 152 lbs
Personality: Noir is very nosy to the point where everyone can get the impression they are under investigation. In fact, it pretty much can summarize her. But aside from her inquisitive traits, she can seem like a bit of a tomboy due to her responses. She is quick to do the right thing, and twice as fast to anger due to her passion and integrity.
Weapon: A Tommy-Gun with a Bayonet. Weapon Name: Vale Typewriter. Weapon Functions: Fires at a high speed, has stabbing capabilities, and that is really it. Just a Gun with a Bayonet. Armor/ Clothing: Noir wears one outfit, and one outfit only. She wears black Stockings, Black Dress with White Ascents, there is however a sash that goes over waist that is styled like a ribbon, she also has a ribbon that goes over scarf that goes over her hair, she wears sunglasses with it. Her shoes consist of one inch heeled Night shoes. Not to mention her black silk gloves that go to her elbows. Semblance Name: Out of Sight. Semblance: Noir enters the shadows of nearby people, and objects to where she is invisible to others, this allows her to sneak into the action, as well as out of the action.
Strengths: Noir is a great shot at Close to Medium range, great at stealth, and has a powerful backstab. Has a good stride when she starts moving. Killer Roundhouse.
Weaknesses: Not the greatest of One on One styled battles where she is out in the open, lacks far range capabilities, not physical great. Practically no defenses.
Bio: Noir grew up in Vale with her family, she helped her father run a comic book store before it became rundown due to digital media becoming the next big thing. Due to this, her family had to separate, she however went with her father who was a part time detective. For years her father investigated the White Fang and the Dust Runners; a group of thieves pillaging supplies of dust, many times the tracks went bare, and would return empty handed.
Noir however helped her father when she was forced into uncomfortable situations where members of the police force's families were placed in danger. As a typical cliche, there was always some form of negotiation. With safety ensued, her father questioned what she could recall, sights, sounds, smells and feelings. She could recall them all, to the point where she had no problem sketching her descriptions out. These small things alone helped her father get back in business. For a few years, she attended Signal, did well, and off to the side, she'd occasionally draw arts of a sort. It helped her find peace and stay connected to her father... She was a bit of a writer to the side as well... With stories of her father's misadventures on the force, she was inspired to make her own comics, even if it meant it would be exclusively digital media.
As time went on, she'd witnessed things she could not deny, things that were seen as outlandish. With her cooperation, she helped her father identify these crimes so she could better help those in need, so no one would suffer at the hands of criminals. Eventually she snooped to the point where she found the most incriminating of clues that would lead to a bigger breakthrough... The Seedy Underbelly's biggest contributors... Her life was threatened, and she figured the best way no one would get hurt, was by leaving.
To this day, she still holds facts she can only describe, taste and feel. To become better capable, that was her goal, it was also in her agenda to help bring this corporation to light, like a shadow before the sun.

Bio: Cassius grew up with what is considered a mostly secluded life, with his father dying before him due to his line of work, it left him scarred as a child, he did not want to be the weak person he was. When he was nearing the age of twelve, he was taken in by a slightly older friend, a mercenary named Mathias Graymen. Mathias taught him all he needed to know about hunting Grimm, to surviving in the wild, learning the environment, but he never taught him how to talk with people.
Around the age of Eighteen, he returned to his home in Vale where he saw his mother had left it to him. Mathias however did not simply leave him alone, they got back into society rather slowly, adjusting to new laws, new technological developments, and even the horrible television shows. The horror he had to deal with… Through and Through, they were adapting quite well with just basic living. It was nice to take a break for once. But as time went on, he received a letter of recommendation from his mother, inviting him to Lustre academy, he questioned if it was truly right for him to go; he had not been to combat schools, he had been out of public eye for so long. He ultimately questioned how his mother knew he was just there. Perhaps when she checked the power was in use at home she knew? He did not know. But like fate, he took a gamble and agreed. If he became a better Hunter, then maybe no one would have to suffer because of White Fang atrocities.
For three years he took time to adjust to life around him, he found peace and tranquility as he honed his skills. Yet, he questioned what his use would be to anyone as a blade dancer. To hide his feminine traits, he used a family mask to hide his face, donned a torso plate and other vanity based armors. He feared he'd not be taken seriously otherwise.
Extra Notes: Despite him not being in society for very long as of late, he is surprisingly good at making cakes and other treats, just not complex pastries. He is also a bit of a history fanatic, but he hates doing any kind of math related work. Despite having no dance teacher, he naturally enjoys doing Solo Salsa. When fighting Hand to Hand, he uses a Mixture of Aiki-Jujitsu and Tai Chi-Quan. He also carries a Feline mask around. He Absolutely hates the White Fang.
His name means as Follows. "Cassius" means Empty and Vain, to apply a color concept to empty, is the absence of it, as well as dark to contrast it's presence. Vanity is both a concept that can be good and bad. The color applied here is White Gold.
"Alexandros", root name. Alexander. It means "Protector of mankind." Blue or Red works here seeing as they are bolder colors in contrast, Midnight Blue works for this, or even Royal Blue.
"Lumnya." Really it means just the moon. White works here, as well as Shadow seeing as the Moon has phases where it can seem absent.
"Svent" is a fictional name I made up. But if I had to apply color to it, it would be that of Smoke to darkness in general.
