[OOC] Beacon's Light: Rising - OOC (RWBY)

[Nefarious Prime]

BB never explicitly raped anybody, though it was not a difficult leap of logic to make. And reports say that anyone involved with BB behind closed doors was found to have later enjoyed the experience in the end. And he/she/it was used to tie up loose ends like characters who's roleplayers left without saying anything, so really, it's their fault for abandoning their creations. But BB won't be as *shudder* if he/she/it shows up again, I could still see uses for the character. But...dear God...>.<

[Krayzikk]

On a note that isn't making everyone cringe at the memory :P,

Nefarious, do you think we'll be following the way the initiation and team forming worked in canon?

[Asura]

Not even Lyndsey can heal those wounds.

[ERode]

Replace Deathstalkers with Ponies and Nevermores with Miners, and Chess Pieces with Tarot Cards.

[Krayzikk]

That would amuse me greatly.

As a side note; Reaper, Alistair didn't go anywhere. He couldn't if he wanted to, he has someone new asking him what's up every time he turns around. :P

[Reaper]

Daiki may or may not have been influenced by a certain samurai anime.

Didn't he go around the corner or was that Jock

[Krayzikk]

Reading back I didn't phrase that very well, but it was the jock who went around the corner. Alistair just breathed a sigh of relief when the jock left.

I can definitely see where the confusion would have arisen, though.

Using french words under Pascale's name. Time to brush up my four years of worthless High School French where I learned nothing but how to call someone a cow in another language. @_@

And has anyone ever tried to counter rape/molest this BB individual? *Cough*

EDIT: Time to create a character to intentionally counteract this criminal, vigilante style.

[Nefarious Prime]

Lucius and I had a plan last time that was slightly different, which I like better. It'll involve them being taken to a new location that includes a couple different environs, part of the entrance into the location will be very dangerous, and it'll involve them searching for things that will complete a device that'll be integral to their stay at Beacon. They way it's set up, it doesn't especially need a theme to make sense, but that makes it a bit difficult to actually name them.

So, little poll, everyone's input appreciated, do you guys want teams of four or two? Four would me more in tune with the show and allow more development in each of the groups, but I think teams of two is good because it can allow for more variety for missions. Two or three teams could be sent, one person designated at mission leader, and that could give multiple people the chance to lead, if their character's suited for it. Thought that means we need twice as many things to name the teams after, of course, as each group of partners would be called something.

And also, what naming theme would people like? We can go Chess pieces, Tarots, maybe legendary beasts, we can add colors for them as well to make them more unique, we could just number them as they finish, etc. What ideas do peeps got?

[Nefarious Prime]

Ugh, Reaps, I changed it so he didn't point the gun, he'd only have pointed if he was being threatened. It was a couple pages back that I mentioned it, guess it got lost with the other posts. >~< He basically just said he'd go for a quickdraw contest if Daiki was raring to fight, but neither drew their weapon. :P

[Sixsmith]

Aztec theme. I like Aztec themes. I'm just throwing that out there, I don't know why. ._.

I like alluding to mythology and legends, so I'll do some research via the Google Machine. Nom nom.

[Krayzikk]

I personally would vote for teams of four. Last I checked, we had the proper number of people for it to work out evenly. I think four people is a nice balance, as it basically ensures that about four people will always have an excuse to interact, and offers diversity in that interaction as well. On the other hand, having teams of only two means that we'd likely end up with a lot of back and forth, and if one player can't log on for a while, their partner is up the creek without a paddle.

As for naming themes... Legendary beasts could be cool. Maybe named deities from Greek mythology or some such? I'd say chess motifs, because I really like chess motifs, but they don't work that well for team names. "Team Knight" or "Team Queen" doesn't really sound right, y'know?

Because I'm curious, and I apologize because I'm sure answering these questions is a pain XD, have you thought about how teams are likely to be decided?

[Lucius Cypher]

Hey, BB was Prime's character, all I did was give him the green light to let his imagination go wild. All I did was release the BBeast...

But back to the topic at hand, a certain theme would be good so long as the players can come to a conclusion. And on the topic of Grimms, there will be "Additional" varieties that are set in canon, I.e. monsters we made up for the purpose of the RP.

Personally I liked the idea of partners that made up into larger teams, however there was always the issue of naming them. Just my thoughts. As for the themes themselves, I always had a thing for tarot themes, though not much in any ways to symbolically represent them.

[ERode]

Teams of 4.

Name them after Desserts, because screw you, desserts are delish, and it'd be fun. Less pretentious and overused than Tarots and Myths.

I like desserts. @_@ Lets do Desserts.

And yeah, I vote Teams of 4.

[Krayzikk]

"Team Cookie"

"Team Apple Pie"

I could get behind this. And it seems just bizarre enough that Beacon might do it. XD

Oh, to toss out what occurred to me, might be cool to name the teams after different thing from Arthurian myth and legend.

[Sixsmith]

Do we wanna go with the naming convention they did in RWBY? With the colors/first names making up the team name? Or is that too difficult? I feel like they planned the team names ahead of time.

[ERode]

You know what we should do?

Team names that are named after desserts, based off the first letter of their first names. :3

No...there is only one option left.

Fruits

[Krayzikk]

I actually thought about how it might work to do the canon theming here, and it's take a lot of work. The actual series had the benefit of being able to map them out beforehand, where we'd need to put together halfway decent names from the first initials of names that weren't designed for such.

...

Okay, if we're bringing Kamen Rider themes in, I think we should names teams things like "Team Cyclone", "Team Joker", "Team Trigger", et cetera. :P
