"Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale."
From Dust
Legend states that man was created from dust itself, into the world of Remnant, a land ravaged by hostile Grimm. These soulless creatures preyed upon mankind, spreading darkness across the lands of Remnant. But one day, a man discovered Dust, a natural resource with great power. Now armed with weapons powered by these crystals, man overpowered the savage Grimm and pushed them away. With the absence of darkness, man could form society and grow.
Yet these days of light would not last too long, and humanity would soon be thrust into another war- this time with itself. Remnant was divided into smaller countries in a long war, and it would also create war with the Faunus, another species of people on Remnant that were part-human, part-animal. These Faunus would create a great racial rift between man and Faunus, which would lead to all sorts of conflict and terrorism between them.
To Dawn
Today, Remnant has arrives at a Gilded Age. The kingdoms are at a supposed new level of peace, but not all is good. Faunus, while now considered citizens, are discriminated against, and a terrorist group called the White Fang has emerged because of this inequality. Those living outside the kingdoms are suspect to Grimm attacks. Not everything is good in this world.
But there are shining beacons of hope. After the Great War, academies emerged to train young minds to become Huntsmen, or soldiers against Grimm, using their aura and dust-powered weaponry, and thus protecting those that cannot protect themselves and help rend Remnant’s rifts (try saying that ten times fast.) Beacon Academy, one of these huntsman academies, located in Vale, is a prestiged Huntsman academy. The skills taught there transforms young students into elite warriors against darkness, which helps brighten the world.
But beneath the golden surface of Remnant lies problems, even greater than just Grimm or the White Fang. Dark forces are rising, and they will soon make themselves known to the world. But for now, a new class of students are arriving at Beacon, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead of them.
In essence, your standard pre-fall of beacon RWBY rp. Lacks creativity? D e f i n e t e l y. But hey, I wanted to give this a shot, don’t be kill me.
I intend on accepting at least 3 other people. If a whole ton of people start being interested, I’ll accept up to 7 people, but my intention is to have just 1 team.
