A new semester is about to begin at Beacon Academy, where boys and girls train to become Huntsmen and Huntresses, guardians against the evil of Grimm. All seems well in the kingdoms of Remnant, even Grimm attacks have been less in the past few years. But unknown to anyone, there is a darkness growing in Vale, one which has the potential to envelop all of Remnant in its web. Standing in its way are 12 students who have just arrived at Beacon with no idea how important their destiny is. As that suggests, the RP will start when there are 12 student characters ready to go, but I will be accepting others for quite awhile into the RP. The villainous group will be made apparent later on, and evil characters are welcomed for that. The RP will start off mostly as a school RP set in the RWBYverse, with all that entails, but will evolve as time progresses into something a lot more involved. Character sheet: - Name: - Age: (Unless you have a reason in your backstory, students start at Beacon at 17) - Race: (Human or Faunus) - Appearance: - Personality: - Weapon: (Limiting it to three transformations for a transforming weapon like Neptune’s.) - Semblance: (You can go a bit OP with this if you want, but remember that the more powerful your semblance the faster it drains Aura, so a really powerful Semblance will leave you vulnerable to attack more quickly) - Backstory: ---- Teams: Team SATN, with Salvia Weiss, Timothy Raminov, Nico Hung, Asa Karmozjin. (Partners: Salvia/Timothy, Nico/Asa.) Team SYZN, with Nahbi Cho, Silus Kuroi, Yasuri Oneri, Zedong Swarna. (Partners: Nahbi/Silus, Zee/Yasuri) Team Unnamed cause no vowels, with Sielbar Vulpez, Parsey Koi, Cyrul Vance, Vincent Nero. (Partners: Sielbar/Cyrul, Parsey/Vincent)

I'm here. I'll post my character sheet soon

Hello, let me in :p

Your character looks good. Consider him accepted.

Me? Cause... Theirs several people...

Yes, you. Though, looking him over again, I don't see the color resemblance with his name.

I didn't realize that was a thing... I can do that...

reserving a spot. making a CS now.

Alright. There's two spots left then, as a couple people made characters in the interest check thread but haven't transferred them over here yet.

I don't suppose there is room for one more, is there? :)

Can I have a spot please? Haven't got a history yet but am working on it. Also any suggestions for a Semblance? 'Case I keep coming up blank.

You two are good to go. Silver, I'd have to know more about your character. Why don't you post them in the character tab with whatever's unfinished left out and I'll see if I can come up with any suggestions?

what did you say about color resemblance and the name?

Inferno, Sielber is ready for review for the most part. I want to work with Salvia, but I need feedback from Zee's player first.

Xander: Characters in the RWBYverse have names relating to or evoking a color (which they're usually themed after) due to historical lore. They range pretty dramatically, with some characters simply having another languages word for a color as their name, some having names that just sound like a color (Blake=Black) and some referencing objects that are a color (Such as Nora, who's name references a pink flower). Tearstone: She looks good to me. The one thing I want to say is for her Semblance, I'm assuming that keeping an illusion in existence drains aura, and the more illusions she has the faster her aura is drained? Otherwise I could see it getting a little bit crazy. And, more info for the backstory isn't necessary to me, but I do enjoy hearing such things so feel free to PM me said details if you want to.

OK, I changed his last name to black in Italian. It fits his backstory. :3

Yeah, it's mean to be used on/off, bursts. Kind of like Blake's Shadow affinity, but it also can be used to cloak or distract, and with large outputs of Aura, it can make illusions corporeal, but only for a limited time, usually a few seconds. It can be draining if used for long periods, so using it in short bursts is usually the way to go.

Xander; that works fine for me. Your character is officially good to go. Tearstone; That makes sense. Character looks good, then.

yay, when does this start?
