STATUS:
Today I reached the conclusion that, if presented with an exact duplicate of herself, one of my characters would DEFINITELY hit that.

I generally find having only the GM post in the character thread is beneficial, that way you can remove characters who drop out or are otherwise removed from the roleplay and avoid things getting cluttered.
Diamonds are actually extremely fragile; very cold, lifeless stones. I would actually sughest switching the names of the city and the academy; after all, a Vault is a symbol of security.
I'd like to comment on the names you have chosen; the names of the canon academies all have a theme of protection or hope. Lustre does not follow this theme. Example; A beacon, a symbol of hope for lost souls. Atlas, which holds the world upon its shoulders. Haven, a place of safe refuge. Shade, protection from the heat of the desert. (other note, if you want a sheet which goes into more detail, I've got a rather extensive one which i was using for my RWBY roleplay, which provides a fair bit more depth)

Alright, everyone. I hate to do this, but I think we all know it's been coming for a long while.
Heroes of a different story is dead. We've lost too many players too many times, the planned plot is at least another 5 months off course, and I have entirely lost my motivation and inspiration as a GM.
It's been a good run, and I had a lot of fun while it lasted, but I am not the GM you all deserved, and this roleplay is a shadow of what it could have been.
If I were to try and keep it going, I feel like I would be leading you all on, delaying the inevitable.
In all honesty, I wish we could keep going, but... I just don't have it in me. You all probably noticed I was online less and less frequently, responding late, entirely forgetting to say anything about progress.
With this apology, I would like to officially close the curtain, and release you all to find role-plays with worthy GMs.
Sincerely, Sean Stevens.
PS. I might see you guys around, might not. But one thing is certain; you can find me on the RWBY wiki if you ever decide to come rip my throat out for wasting your time.
I keep forgetting to mention on account of being sick, but I am REALLY sick right now, putting any concentrated effort towards anything makes me want to puke.
I'll let everyone know once I'm no longer wanting to vomit my lungs out.
@Madninja324@Mcmolly@Pyromaniacwolf@VedranTheII Convention ended sunday but i've been extremely busy otherwise the last couple days. Things should be back to normal by monday, if all goes well.
