Fandom RWBY without RWBY- Grimm Uprising OOC [CLOSED]

[BoilingWriter]

Congratulations Hunter or Huntress!
If you are receiving this letter, then you have been accepted into the prestigious Beacon Academy, a school of higher learning for those who wish to better our world. Enclosed you will find information about your schedule and rooming. We look forward to seeing you arrive on the ships.
Yours Truly,
Headmistress Aurora

• 
  As a new student at the famous Beacon Academy, your job is to learn how to fight, and stay out of trouble. The problem is, one of those things will be much harder than the other.
  
  Recently, Grimm have been acting strange-- seeming to become more self aware, they have been sneaking up on people, attacking only villages without hunter protection, and demolishing caravans with precious dust. This behavior is far from normal, but what can be done about it, except to kill Grimm as we normally do?
  
  A new year, a new start as they say. These Grimm attacks may be scary, but the school must continue to teach it's students-- now more than ever. Attacks have been happening all over Remnant, and Beacon will certainly fall victim to one soon enough.
  Will you be prepared when the time comes?
  
• 
  In your first year of Beacon Academy, you need only to focus on your studies and try not to get yourself killed.
  
  ...That isn't to say that you can't go on a mission to attempt to bring down whatever enemy there is, kill as many Grimm as you can and save the people of Remnant-- it's just highly recommended that you don't.
  
  In summary, there is some serious shiz going down that threatens the world. You may try and go to school as a normal student of Beacon, or you can try to do something about the growing menace-- but threaten your place at this school. The choice is yours.

  1. You may not be in any way related to canon RWBY characters. This takes place in a world where none of those characters exist, and thus you cannot be one of them or any of their kids. If you would like to copy one of their semblances talk to me about it, just don't have them be related or be obvious copies of the characters. Please and thank you
  2. No one-liners. I would prefer a paragraph or more, but I understand that we are all at different levels. Please try and post at least one paragraph of good material that the rest of the group can go off of.
  3. Be respectful. Do not bully other people OOC (if your character is a jerk it's one thing-- but that needs to be only your character), in any way shape or form. If I notice you being disrespectful, it will be the end of your time in this roleplay. Two strikes and you're out.
  4. You don't always need to follow the plot. As I said, the choice is yours, and while I will try to keep the plot moving in some ways-- like news of towns getting attacked or students going missing-- I will mostly let you do your own thing.
  5. No godmodding. Every character had to get hit sometimes, especially if we're going to have fighting scenes. If it gets too bad, I might ask people to roll the dice or something. Hopefully it won't resort that, though!
  6. HAVE FUN!! There is no bloody point if you aren't having a good time. If someone or something is bothering you, talk to me about it and I will try to fix it. Not to say I will kick someone out if their character isn't playing nice with yours, but I will try and keep everyone happy. I only ask that you don't abuse this power and spam my inbox with requests... that would be alarming.
  
• 
  I will be assigning rooms and teams to everybody once the RP begins. Canonically, the teams are chosen after the adventure in the Emerald Forest. Thus, we will have 24 or 48 hours to have the first day introductions, and then I will officially start the event of the Emerald Forest. From there I will randomly select partners for everyone, and after the end of that event, teams. After everyone has teams, they will be assigned rooms, and the rest will be up to you guys!
  Don't think that your interaction is limited to your team, however. Although you should bond more with your teams than with outsiders, you can do whatever you want-- including talk to people outside of your team and form relationships with them.
  
  Anyways, thank you for taking an interest in my roleplay and I hope we can all have a great time!

[Daffybebe]

Better then anything I could muster, good luck, I'm sure people will join.

 

[Elekta Kount]

I'll get on my character(s) soon!

 

[Thepotatogod]

Can I propose a Penny-esque character?

 

[RandomBlobMan]

AWESOME

 

[BoilingWriter]

Can I propose a Penny-esque character?

As in, you want your character to be a robot with an aura?

 

[Thepotatogod]

As in, you want your character to be a robot with an aura?

Yes

 

[Ghost Toast]

Hello

 

[SecretRock]

Hope you guys don't mind I signed up. I don't know if this was meant to be exclusive or anything.

 

[BoilingWriter]

Thepotatogod sure, no problem. Just make sure the character isn't too OP (because Penny kind of was lol)

SecretRock no, it's fine! This RP is completely open to anyone who wants to join

 

[BoilingWriter]

UPDATE: I changed the rules to include the fact that you cannot god mod. This should be obvious, but given that this RP is based around fighting, it needs to be said. If god modding gets too out of hand, or if we do major fights between characters, I will ask that we begin rolling the dice to make sure no one gets out of hand. Thank you!!

 

[BoilingWriter]

UPDATE: I may have one or more characters be spies in the school working with whoever is orchestrating these Grimm attacks. If you are interested in having your character be a spy (aka, a bad guy in disguise) then please message me so we can talk about it.
[There could be 5 spies, there could be 0 spies. That will be up for the characters to solve-- if they even want to get involved in all of this]

 

[BoilingWriter]

I just made a second character, she's Paz's sister. So if you guys want more than one character feel free to make one!

 

[BoilingWriter]

UPDATE: with 12 characters up, I will be creating the thread for the roleplay itself within the next couple of hours. I will post the thread, as well as notify you all in this thread, as soon as it's up. The thread will have a starting point so please read for that. Thank you!!

 

[BoilingWriter]

UPDATE: THE ROLEPLAY IS UP!!! Feel free to begin posting whenever you can! The first day has begun, and make sure to read the prologue added to the bottom of the original thread.

 

[BoilingWriter]

Alright! I posted to the RP so it is officially open to all!!

 

[Thepotatogod]

Alright! I posted to the RP so it is officially open to all!!

Goodie goodie gumdrops! I'll post soon :3

 

[Pumpkid]

BoilingWriter can you be a fonis?

 

[BoilingWriter]

BoilingWriter can you be a fonis?

It's spelled "Faunus" and yes, you can be a faunus. Both of my characters are! Just make sure you have watched the World Of Remnant on Faunus so that you know how they work.

ok thanks I forgot how it's spelled

 

[BoilingWriter]

Pumpkid so does atomic have ears or a tail?

Ghost Toast I made it kinda convoluted-- but the swords are Sapphire's weapons (that she left in her luggage). Paz's weapon, which is on her back, is a hammer/machine gun that, when collapsed down, Looks like a cog. So just letting you know!!

 

[Ghost Toast]

Fixed

Ah shoot I forgot to mention he has both unless he can only have one it would be ears

 

[BoilingWriter]

Pumpkid yes, according to the RWBY-verse, and that video I told you about,, they only have one animal trait

 

[Pumpkid]

Pumpkid yes, according to the RWBY-verse, and that video I told you about,, they only have one animal trait

The history on rwby is a bit confusing to me. I can't get it down tbh but I did do some research before doing anything. Yes so he will only have ears for his trait.


Wait so am I approved?
