[OOC] The Heroes of Beacon

[The Irish Tree]

Lucius Cypher said
Given that Jaune can sneak in using forged transcripts, I'd imagine so. Otherwise his folks would have discovered very quickly that they're paying for an expensive school tuition. Though I also imagine having money makes things easier for you, such as being able to buy Dust and other supplies for yourself.

...Then... who the fuck is paying for their room and board?

[KabenSaal]

The Irish Tree said
...Has it ever been stated that its free to go to the academy?

Blake is there, who has never shown to posses the wealth needed if it was an expensive tuition. And Ruby was invited in casually. Ozpin would be an asshole if he had a tuition. 'Come to my Acadamy, two years out of line, but you can pay the expensive tuition while your there with your sister'.

He is either pirvately funded by companies, or has a great amount of personal wealth.

I'd figure that's what the pay from the missions the students do go to. I'd also imagine that they're funded by Sponsors like the local government, or whatever it is. It's a Public School, basically. A special Public School of high renown. It's not money that gets you in, it's ability, hence why Jaune needed to forge transcripts to enter; he lacked the skills to be eligible, while money wasn't a problem likely because it was never an issue in the first place.

Hmm. Well, that's a good enough explanation for me.

If it matter, being royalty also likely won't provide you any additional advantage when going to Beacon; you could be the king of a country, if you're fighting skills suck, no one is going to give you the time of day at Beacon. At best you can buy some of the higher-tier things, but Beacon feels more like it's a skill based school rather than equipment based. I mean, Ren managed to kill the huge cobra Grimm with his barehands, I think weapons are just used for convenience rather than necessity. Asskicking Equals Authority, and if you can't kick ass, you don't get a say in matters.

With help, Juane managed to kill an Ursa Major with an antique sword.

Weiss is an heiress to a massive multi-national company and she was put on a team with someone who (apparently) grew up in the wilderness. So I'd say yeah, background doesn't matter at Beacon.

>The fucking Redwood tree tells me no
>Leave for a bit, think of something else to play as
>Thread's got my back

I love you all.

>The fucking Redwood tree tells me no

How did you know I was a redwood?
Also, I didn't technically say "no", I just kinda wanted a reason as to "why"
...I'm bad at words.

The bonzai tree's word is law. Do not break it.

[Asura]

Who are you people?

[AliceZaru]

Asura said

"The living souls of the past. Wanderers of time. Watching over humanity as we slowly reach the ends Peak."

[Asura]

AliceZaru said

Oh, okay. Are wanderers of time single? Cause I'd love to go get some coffee with you.

[Lucius Cypher]

I don't know about her, but I could go for some coffee right now. I'm thinking Turkish, it's been ages since I've had those.

[harinezumikouken]

I could go for some good coffee. The coffee around here is like coffee grounds filled brown-water.

Ah, as a side note I've completed my course and graduate from it today. So, I'll be resuming my normal shift at work and will once again be more active in the role-play. From what I've read, we're waiting on Abel and Bridget?

Lucius Cypher said

"Alright. How about expensive coffee. Starbucks is good. I have 434 dollars left."

[Lugubrious]

Specifically Bridget at this point.
