To get some Hype for this RP let's talk about our characters' during the wait for the CS!
My character is as a rabbit Faunus who's weapons is a giant arm mounted punchy thing/grenade launcher and his semblance is either Aura Detection or Healing and Barrier creation depends though what we need, but no matter what he is a huge mess of a Faunus who keeps making mistakes until joining beacon where hopefully he stops making mistakes!
I am pretty sure I am going with a human character that grew up on the streets, and got mixed up with wrong crowd, before coming to Beacon Academy. Her weapon is going to be a war-hammer that can turn into a semi-auto shogun. As for her semblance, I think it will be that she can store kinetic energy and release it in the form of a burst (AOE) or a concentrated powerful strike.
This is looking fairly filled up, but if room opens up, someone drops out, or even if the GM wants someone to play villains or side characters I would happily volunteer :D
If you haven't started yet, I love me a little RWBY. If filled, it looks like you got a volunteer or two for villains, in which I would do as well. If down the road you need more, feel free to PM me
I'll post my character as soon as possible. I've got their appearance drawn, and an overall concept for the character themselves, so I should be able to get them done pretty quick. Hopefully.
