@Prince of Seraphs: You're full of vinegar lately

I resent your accusation, I haven't drunk vinegar in at least a week.

@Prince of Seraphs Well, it is coming from someone who made lots of Lovecraft-style short stories. That's like... as bright as I can be since I don't really go touch anime and the likes that much. xD

I think I'm going to drop this RP.
Sorry guys, I think it's just too big for me now. I've lost interest too.

So, I'll see you guys later. Peace out.

Opah! I've posted a profile into the characters tab. Do tell me if anything needs to be described in more detail, or if something needs to be tweaked to better fit in with your landscape. I'm not against changing something that needs changing.

Looks good to me! I believe you are the first person to justify the link between semblance and personality in words, so there are some extra kudos. Have one of your new team members PM you the link to your Team Document (probably Narc) and you're free to get posting! We're going to say that your character is a transfer student, but you may of course decide where from. You are now eligible to complete in our contests. Welcome to the club!

^.^ In that case, hi everyone. You can call me Ten.

I'm not sure who this Narc person is, but I'll track him down.

I think it makes the most sense for Cerul to transfer from Vacuo so I'll update my profile to say that.

...to the drastic seriousness of Prince of Seraph's entry. Don't be fooled, PoS, your entry was fantastic, and made an intriguing story in its own right, and you did well with the traits, but the hammer of "super-subjective-ism" is coming down on you this time.

Could you define "super-subjective-ism" for me. I tried looking it up but all the definitions I found didn't seem to fit with any aspect of storytelling. Also just in general as a story what did you think of it?

Perhaps you could let me know in the main thread what Abel's swapped trait was; I'm guessing from what others said, it's that in the alternate reality he has a sense of humor.

Yeah, Abel's thing was that he was essentially the Fred and George Weasly of Beacon. In the first draft there was a prank he pulled in Combat Class and just in general enough interaction to make that clear. Also if @KabenSaal is interested Mokuren was for lack of a better way to put it like Priscilla except much more of a girly girl. She was also one of Shiro's three girlfriends (the others being Sangue and Diamond). Oh and @paigesweetheart Priscilla was a by the book hardass sergeant and Goodwitch's right hand. Amy got dishonorably discharged and promptly imprisoned when it was discovered she was a Vacuo spy.

Ah neat.

I suspected you might say something about that. The term I just used to define my own personal inclinations as a judge; others might not agree with them, but they're welcome to make the contests. As a story, your entry was great. If you like, you can add back in the stuff my constraints made you delete, post it on this thread, and I'll read it and enjoy it then too.

That's another thing, actually. Since the OOC isn't moving a mile a minute any more, I feel like we can open up on another subject area that I wanted to eventually include: the posting of things we've written to get critiques from other people. Praise and constructive criticism might be rewarded by various readers, anywhere from a couple of words to a couple of paragraphs, and we'd be able to grow as writers. This stuff would most certainly not be necessarily RWBY-based. Is anyone else in favor of such an idea?

Hi Ten :o

@Lugubrious I'd rather not make people spend MORe time withthings other than IC? XD In fact I am getting quite bored with the classes, and seeing that Kaithas is down for the count, how about something like power outage or something cancels the next class so we can do the friggin missions already :D

Skryte noooooooooo.

Well, we lost our Survival teacher. And our exoskeleton friend. Sadface.jpg

@Lugubrious I'd rather not make people spend MORE time with things other than IC?

Well it's not like anyone has to write stuff to be critiqued and for of us that have actual writing projects and a lack of people to read over them other than ourselves it might be a good thing.

There are dedicated sites for that >_> With people that don't quote direct speech or start every paragraph with their character's name *stops before he starts ranting again* xD

I shall sit here silently displaying intrest until a slot is open.
*Holds breath*

That's a rather closed minded way of looking at things, though I will admit the direct quote speech in posts is obnoxious. We're sort of a little community aren't we? I'd like to think that we're all friends (well except for harinezumikouken cause obviously no one likes him). That should mean we're able to share stuff other than strictly Heroes of Beacon IC posts. On another RP I'm involved in one of our members is an animator and she regularly shows us some of her work to see what we think. Other RPs I've been involved with have had intense philosophical debates on them. Yes it's this particular world, this particular story that brought us together but that doesn't mean we should limit ourselves to this one story especially when a group like ours has the potential to do so much more. (Not that the story isn't enough, it's really great too.)

That's cool, Lugu will ad you to the waiting list at his earliest convenience and until a slot opens up you are welcome to participate in the OOC. Also it might be a good idea to create your character ahead of time just so that it's all ready if and when you area able to join the IC.

@Tenoren
Alright, you're going to hate me for this, but I found something that I'd like you to do concerning your character. With some of the team names, changing them doesn't matter so much, but if possible I'd like you to consider changing either the first or last name of your character to something starting with N, G, A, D, or R, so that we can keep Jormungandur, if nothing else because it's awesome.

@Skyrte You wound me, you really do.

True. However, it would only be an option, something to occupy time when an IC post is unnecessary. If more people are in favor of such an idea, I might reconsider, but for now we'll stay as we have been.

@Eklispe
It has been 23 days since Psyrencalling has even been online, so fortunately for you there is an opening after all on team GJMM. Make a sheet and you'll be in as quickly as Tenoren. However, if you have any doubts about your ability to commit to this RP, please do not join. Nothing hurts me more than people leaving my RPs on anything less than a technicality.


Those I haven't mentioned have assured me recently of their committal and have my complete faith.

I'm Here!!

@Lugubrious
Sweet i'll begin work on a character. Don't worry about me leaving, i don't have much of a life to speak of XD

I feel like some text got cut off on your post there @Lugubrious

Seems as though you are about to say you want to maintain the lettering of team JRVR. This will be a bit of a rework, but doable.

I actually considered that earlier but wasn't sure which of the 4 letters was open, since I don't know which character left the story. So laziness won out and I played my chances and made my profile without asking which letter to use.

Edit: I'm considering JCerulean, VCerulean, and RCerulean.

Edit again: I will also make the argument that teams change due to extraneous circumstances within the story so lettering might change after all. Like if Blake ran away to be a Faunus rebel, surely they'd get a new member with a new name. :P But this is my naivety at the equity you have in the JRVR brand.

Sorry about that. Now that I consider it, Jayden's not even really the team leader, so 'R' ought to be first. Forget what I said and I'll just whip up a new name. How does RJCV - Team Radioactive, sound?

We've had so many noble souls lost lately that it hurts my heart. It is time to gather ourselves up and keep moving toward a brighter tomorrow, a grand story we can all contribute to. Roll call!

That's a good amount of people. I can only imagine the newcomers vying for spots once they realize their are nine spots open on HOB.

NVM read that wrong lol but you guys and maybe gals need to show up.
