After Team RWBY defeated Salem, the relics were safe, but Remnant wasn't. The Grimm under Salem's control weren't eradicated. They mutated beyond how they'd existed under her and ran wild. Now, the Grimm tower like true giants, the kingdoms are more like survivor hovels, and the silver-eyed warrior lives in legends. Huntsmen academies are no more, except tiny schools run by families. Some of the heroes that defeated Salem banded together to teach others how to fight; others became cut off and lived apart from their old friends - like the surviving villains.
You were born to one of these heroes or villains, maybe even two. You're grown enough to be a good Huntsman or Huntress, but you have even greater goals than killing Grimm - locating and destroying the Grimm's central spawning ground for each region, and finding the Maidens and the silver-eyed warrior, who are critical allies for that task. It won't be easy, but you and your friends learned from the best.
With the moon risen over Remnant and conditions near apocalyptic, can you find a way back? A way forward?
This is a next-generation RWBY RP where the players' characters are all OC descendants of canon characters. Characters for this RP will begin in two groups:
- a group in central Vale, raised and trained in a small combat school run by canon heroes
- a group outside the kingdom who met because they were all pursuing a lead about the Fall Maiden.
The groups will eventually converge looking for the Fall Maiden.
The goals for each major arc are:
- Find and confront the Maiden (each kingdom will have a single Maiden located in it)
- Overcome obstacles - villains, Grimm, limitations of the Maiden - as they arise
- Destroy the region's central Grimm-spawning ground in a harrowing climactic fight
Each kingdom will present unique challenges; the details of the setting will be fleshed out if this idea gets enough interest for me to start the RP and create the thread.
This RP's plot will move forward with some ideas from me and some from you. I can throw some good material into play, but I will not be throwing all of it, because I find it more fun when everyone has a hand in making the story.
This RP is for you if...
- you're excited about RPing a new take on RWBY's universe.
- you're coming in with ideas about the plot and cool with collaborating.
- you can write 1-3 standard paragraphs per post, and you are confident in your writing ability
I'm looking for 4-8 players. If you're interested, please comment on this thread! Feel free to discuss character and plot ideas, but refrain from claiming canon parents until the official OOC thread is set up. I look forward to hearing from you.
