Wow, lots of people so far. I've got a plot developing too, so it looks like this can get set up within a few days or so. Now for the title of the Roleplay, which I also have some ideas, as well as character creation.
First off,
1) No Canon characters.
2) All characters weapons must have a ranged and melee form, or some way to do both ranged and melee combat.
3) Fawness characters are obviously acceptable, but will be discriminated by most others, so be careful.
4) Teams will be determined randomly.
5) A Semblance does not necessarily have to be used purely for combat, and does not have to be used purely outside of combat.
6) Semblances must have a title of at most 2 words.
7) There are currently no rules set for character names, save that they are at least creative, pronounceable, or can be shortened for a nickname.
8) For understandable reasons, if you excel at something, such as strength, you will inevitably falter at something else, such as stealth.
9) Dust and the use of Dust is permitted, provided you have an understandable source of it.
Now for the
Name:
Nickname: (optional)
Age: (15-19 is recommended)
Gender:
Race:
Appearance: (Either an image or description, but an image is recommended)
Personality: (Your personality will reflect your fighting style)
Weapons: (an image is again recommended as well as how it functions(Not super specific details like this screw here keeps the whole thing from falling apart) as it changes modes, melee and ranged)
Semblance:
Strengths: (In and out of combat)
Weaknesses: (In and out of combat)
Theme Song: (very much optional, but I love music so let me hear it XD Can be from a video game, anime, whatever)
(In case you're wondering why there's no History there, I would prefer if everyone kept their characters past written and saved somewhere or in their memory, have it gradually unravelled and revealed as the story progresses)
If you have any questions, ask. If you have any problems or if I messed up somewhere, let me know. If you need suggestions, I would happily offer any kind of advice.
also, if anyone can explain to me how Dust works exactly? -.-' I still don't have much of a clue aside from
It's magic, bitch.Also also, some names that have crossed my mind: Game of Chess, Check and Mate, Absolute Checkmate
something to do with chess, as that seems to be a common theme in the RWBY series, suggestions are appreciated
