RWBY: Dust to Dust

Timeline OOC Info To Join

• 
  Before you were born, Beacon Academy fell to the forces of darkness. Team RWBY and other heroes from Beacon worked with Haven to protect it from the same fate, and they won. Some time after that, they had you, and they brought you into a world at peace.
  
  That world would grow vibrant but chaotic. The citizens of Vale were determined to find a way forward - they made the city beautiful again, they brought the CCT back online, and they drove the Grimm out of the center of the city. Faunus grew even less accepted due to the actions of the White Fang. Technology advanced, and with that came new forms of dust, and materials and biotech based off of newly-discovered Grimm physiology. Beacon Academy was reopened by Glynda Goodwitch's sister Locasta. Your reasons for joining were your own, whether you saw it as taking up your parents' mantle, having adventures of your own, or just bringing light to the world.
  
  Advancement did not come without those who wished to tear it down. Charismatic leader Io Sugilite spoke against the use of aura, in favor of using biotechnology to augment humans and merge them with the Grimm living in outer Vale. Treating the Grimm like gods, her movement grew into a cult with members in all four kingdoms. This cult, the Yamiko Movement, developed a tense relationship with Remnant's combat schools.
  
  Then the unthinkable happened - dust started making people sick. Huntsmen and Huntresses developed terrible illnesses from using it. Grimm began to encroach upon humanity's footholds once again. As dust sales plummeted, the Yamiko Movement gained momentum, and Nature's Wrath became a much less viable combat aid. People had to use it in very limited quantities, or find technological replacements. The quest became to uncover the cause of this strange new disease, and procure the materials needed for a cure.
  
  You're attending Beacon in a world where dust, humanity's candle in the dark, is dangerous. Your world holds advancements and challenges your parents could never have foreseen. What future will you and your team carve out?
  
• 
  You play as a descendant of one of the show's heroes, attending Beacon Academy. There will be action and adventure, missions in a variety of settings, and the challenge of fighting dangerous enemies without Dust. Your characters will learn to work together, and if you're looking for it, perhaps romance will blossom as well. Your missions are handed down by scientists, who need Huntsmen and Huntresses to navigate perilous territory, fight Grimm, and clash with the Yamiko Movement in order to find a cure.
  
  The game will start before initiation, and jump to the second semester (which includes missions and a dance) after initiation ends.
  
  Have roleplay common sense - no godmodding, OP characters, etc. Your writing should be at least at the Intermediate level. Posting speed is 2-3 IC posts a week.
  
• 
  As for who your character's parent is, you can claim any character from RWBY, JN(P)R, or CFVY, plus Sun and Neptune, as long as they're not already claimed. You are also allowed to have two canon characters as your character's parents if you choose (for example, instead of Coco and an OC father, you could play the child of Coco and Fox, or someone Coco and Velvet adopted). Open characters include:
  
  Fox Alistair
  Yatsuhashi Daichi
  
  Taken characters include:
  
  Ruby Rose and Jaune Arc (Accelerator - Rowan Arc)
  Weiss Schnee and Neptune Vasilias (Casket Case - Hailey Schnee)
  Blake Belladonna and Sun Wukong (jessica2477)
  Yang Xiao Long (Mollisol - Daiyu Xiao Long)
  Nora Valkyrie (Beowulf - Hans Valkyrie)
  Lie Ren (S@lt - Jadori "Jade" Ren)
  Coco Adel (★Under The Stars★ - Honey Adel)
  Velvet Scarlatina (Queen of Null - Kara Scarlatina)
  Cardin Winchster (CasketCase - Nightingale Winchester)

Character Sheet

Notes

1. Your character needs to feel like they're descended from their parent from canon, and connect to them somehow, without being a carbon copy.
2. The posting expectation is Intermediate - good caps/grammar/punctuation, fleshed-out paragraphs, varied sentence structure. This applies to both IC posts and your character sheet.
3. Feel free to add any stats you see necessary, and to use different bbcodes to make your character sheet prettier.

@Mollisol The only person who knows Jade's history is Hans, the rest just knows Jade the daughter of Ren

In that case, I guess the possibility probably would not be there.

@Mollisol
Unfortunately, I have exams this Friday and I'm required to sleep at my school till then which means no internet. Expect me to be unactive. Sorry.

 

[★Under The Stars★]

WAHHH I MEANT TO LET THIS GROUP KNOW I WAS GONNA BE GONE FOR THE WEEK BECAUSE OF VERY IMPORTANT SCHOOL COMMITMENTS! Because I need to graduate. I cannot stay in high school. I'd die before I did that.

 

[Mollisol]

I literally forgot to watch the thread I'm so sorry guyyyyys D:

I'll be replying today. I hope I didn't single-handedly kill my own RP with this.

Is okay! I'll reply as soon as I can after you post~

 

[Mollisol]

Okay, I've replied!

 

[Queen of Null]

@Mollisol

I've actually been doing some thinking and I'm wondering if it's alright if I change something about my semblance. Or is it too late for that? I won't mind if it's the latter.

 

[Accelerator]

@Queen of Null

If that's how Kara reacted to Rowan being Jaune's kid, then I wonder how she'll react when she finds out he's also Ruby's son.

*grins mischievously*

Though Rowan would be curious if Kara too has a heroic lineage since she's so interested in them. Would she answer Rowan truthfully should he ever ask?

 

[Queen of Null]

@Accelerator

Well, if she does find out, I hope the janitors ready to wipe blood off the floors. JK. At most, she'd probably hyperventilate momentarily.

And, it's not like she's trying to hide it so she'd answer truthfully. She's humble about the fact she's Velvet's daughter. Velvet always talked as if she wasn't all that important so naturally Kara wouldn't expect the same amount of fame the main fours' kids would get.

Lmao. It'd be funny if that really happened lol. Add to the fact that there are two of Ruby's kids enrolled in Beacon (one is my NPC).

Rowan would find Velvet to be pretty awesome though, specially because of her Semblance.

 

[Queen of Null]

Beacon will be paradise for Kara.

Yeah, thanks for that. I imagine Kara would love to hang out with Rowen or any other child of the main four just to hear their parents' stories. I still have my worries about her semblance but it's nothing big.

@Accelerator

 

[Mollisol]

@Mollisol

It depends on what that change is. I'd say it's too late if we were already doing battle things, but we're not, so if you're not satisfied with it then it's best to change it now.

 

[Queen of Null]

Ok. I mean, she'll still have her 'double' but I'm only planning on changing how they're both seen. If that's fine.

@Mollisol

@Mollisol

Probably. Could you expand on what you mean by that?

 

[Queen of Null]

I plan on making her still have her clone but instead of just her disappearing, the clone can as well but not at the same time. So when she uses her semblance people will probably think she has teleportation abilities which she doesn't. Or something like that.

Hmm, okay. That's acceptable.

I'll be posting today btw.

 

[Queen of Null]

Okay thanks. I edited it.
