Hello, and welcome to the OOC and signup thread for RWBY: Moonrise!
-
After Salem fell, 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?
Further info from the Interest Check:
[spoili]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, and 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 Fall.[/LEFT]
The goals for each major arc are:
- Find and confront the Maiden (each kingdom will have a single Maiden located in it)
- Deal with complications - villains, Grimm, limitations of the Maiden - as they arise
- Destroy the region's central Grimm-spawning ground in a harrowing climactic fight
This RP assumes Cinder is permanently dead, Raven died before the start of this RP, and OCs inherited the Spring and Fall Maidens' powers. Finding Ruby Rose will happen close to the climax of the RP.
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 1-2 standard paragraphs per post.
I look forward to hearing from you![/spoili] -
General:
Have RP common sense. Follow the site rules, use understandable spelling and grammar, don't godmod, etc.
Be respectful to everyone. Don't fight in the OOC. If you are having a dispute with someone, PM me and I will mediate.
The plot of this RP is discussed collaboratively, though the GM has greater responsibility to implement it due to having more control of the outside world. I will provide some ideas, but not all of them.
Play:
Players are allowed to control minor NPCs. Leave major NPCs (listed in the info thread) to the GM. We can share control of Grimm, but the GM decides when they are defeated.
Decide which side wins a fight OOC, preferably before the fight begins. This lets you get wilder in your writing, because you're not constrained by trying to force a win! I don't see much player-vs-player combat happening in this RP, but if it comes up, be able to volunteer to take an L.
For the purpose of writing fights, assume aura is always "passively coating the wielder in a protective force field" until it runs out; it's not something you have to activate. -
Before you submit a CS, please post a message OOC claiming the character(s) you want. You can claim two canons as parents of one character if you prefer. Any pairings - popular pairings, "crack" pairings, gay pairings - will be regarded as legitimate, as long as you can justify it in your writing. Here are the characters you can claim:
Weiss Schnee - @Boredbrain
Blake Belladonna - @Neko_Green
Yang Xiao Long - @EmperorsChosen
Jaune Arc - @Artorias
Nora Valkyrie - @IceQueen
Velvet Scarlatina - @Quincunx
Yatsuhashi Daichi - @RedArmyShogun -
Formatting/code is optional. Anything in parentheses is my notes to you and should not be included in the final app.
