Excellent. I'll catch up on whoever's in Grimm... Tomorrow. It's late.

<Snipped quote by Sho Minazuki> So it's not that there shouldn't have been a fight, it's that it happened far too soon?

@McFazzer

And yes. It's good to establish some relationships such as rivalries or nemesis, or just plain hatred, but not enact them so soon. If it is within the characters and setting to fight very soon then it is okay (eg. character A is overly aggressive and is often troubled, or school allows fights). Before you say anything, remember that Beacon preaches team work amongst Hunters, due to its purpose. Fighting one another for the sake of petty reasons, or internal conflicts in general, are heavily frowned upon. But that aside, my earlier question had not been addressed. Do teams have to participate in the same class for subjects that are compulsory such as Armory and Grimm Studies? Or am I free to just go where there are fewer people? I feel like canonically it's the former.

With Blake and Weiss, it was somewhat needless. Blake may be a Faunus, and she could easily pass off as just another Faunus, but decided to bundle White Fang into her reasons. The reason was also because plot, plot conveniently needed the RWBY team to be connected to the happenings at the time concerning the White Fang. It's not the description of events that matters, but the purpose of it. Having random drama for the sake of drama is the worst kind of drama, because no one needs it or wants it. Reasons you can have are for development (which is very loose, even now and even in blockbuster movies there is a lot of drama that really didn't need to happen) and progression (which is what happened with Blake and Weiss... Although with some needlessness, so not perfectly done). Now it's not my business to tell them to change it. They can go ahead and do badly written character development for all I care. But at the very least, let me inform them that they could definitely do far better.

No no no, you don't understand. This is the first day of school, the progression of these things should be tension, breaking point, events in-between building up, climax, and then aftermath. You guys skipped tension and went into breaking point to events in-between. There was absolutely no build up to this. You can STILL show this conflict through words and expressions and subtle actions. I'm honestly not sure on all the details, but letting slip being part of a terrorist organization so early is like throwing out your ace. What could've happened is that Geni finds out so and so has a passionate hate for the White Fang instead. With that, their interactions could be a little awkward, but maybe they become friends. And bam, the fact that he was a former White Fang drops and you have suddenly a very very personal conflict, much deeper than the little feud here.

Jack has no super secret or anything, he's all about his development from a tactless smartass into something greater. Like most characters his age should be going through.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

This is literally just first day of class and Geni let slip being part of the White Fang and there's so much drama. Guys, you're causing needless drama. This is like getting all the plot twists and drama in the first episode of a show. Actually that's literally what is happening here.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

A lot, so much that I can barely keep up, doesn't help I was not on often for the last week or two. Seriously, someone please put me up to speed here.

Persona - The True Self

It is your destiny Sen. Do not fight it. It's time.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

So many people in Armory Class. What the hell. You see what this titling does? We suddenly realize how many people are actually in it. And I'm a little less confused so there's that. I think I should hit up Grimm, but I'm not sure if teams are required to take the same class for these more compulsory subjects or not.

Persona - The True Self

Yaaaaaay. Well, I think I'll wait until I get back to my usual place to draw the next Shadow. Until then, drama.
