I remember bringing this up early on and Lug saying that it was planned. Also vaguely someone else posting that: "this was the first RP I've been in where not having a backstory section wasn't an excuse not to write one" or something to that effect.
Generally speaking we ran a rough version of our history past Lugubrious but he wanted any past a character might have to come out IC. I assume so that in any given situation when you ask someone a question the answer is actually a mystery so you can't tailor your character's interactions to find out certain things about them that your OOC self already knows.

Hey Lug since I have no life and am procrastinating on my English homework I decided to reformat the OP cause it was looking a little cluttered. Feel free to use it or don't.
Heroes of Beacon is dedicated to Monty Oum, who passed away on the second of February, 2015. Our creative work here is a tribute to the man who inspired it all. Thank you, Monty Oum. We love you.
You ready to change the world? Well, this is the day you've been waiting for.
Let's boogie.
Basically this roleplay will follow the story line of RWBY: Volume 1. With added emphasis on school life and training for the tournament, which will later be revealed in Vol. 2, the RP will revolve around character development and will be open to plot changes and ideas from everyone who participates. There is no real script you have to follow, this is just supposed to be really fun.

Semblance: (Unique to everyone, must derive from their personality)
Personality: (Ah, characterization. It has the potential to be as infinitely complex as the human mind itself, but short and sweet will do too. Your character's motivation should ideally go here. And it can't hurt to have some quirks!)

Rules
1. Everyone should know the rules by now. I will try to be nice about them, but any stupidity is right out 2. Endeavor to be civil to your fellow rpers. It can be tough for a bunch of artists to work on the same painting, but the end result is all the more beautiful. 3. Casual standards please. At least a paragraph or two, and try to post at least once every few days if not more often. Nothing is more lethal to a roleplay than lackadaisicality. With this many people in one community, we should be THRIVING. 4. Do try to enjoy yourself, double-oh-seven. 5. If you are going to be incapable of posting for more than two days, you must let me know. THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL. If you disappear without telling me your character has a very high chance of being wiped 6. While I am the only GM, I will try to be flexible. Should someone else prove they are capable enough and ask to be made Gm, I will surely consider it. 7. Excessive off-topic conversation will be met with unhappy frowns. Should that happen, there will be frowns all around. 8. Now that we're a little deeper into this story, I'm allowing players to control more than one player character. The limit will, however, be two. No more than that--except for me, of course!

Who are thou @Lazo and why hast thine unreputable person stolen the Sacred Magnetic Gloves of Hyrule.
I'm going to assume you have Lug's permission to be here but I thought I should tell you that your CS is completely out of form. Go look up the Character Sheet on the Original Post and you'll see what I mean.
If at least some of you are here you can start posting. How the prison break was from your perspective and you've now been teleported to New York City Central Park. You're dazed and confused. Ready.... Go!
