SaskaI just wanted to clarify that I said that as a joke and that statement should not be taken seriously at all. Truthfully I believe the RWBY universe is well-equipped (no pun intended) to allow a multitude of diverse weapons. One of my favorite things about Sifr's site was how creative people got with weapons. Sometimes it was a headache, but for the most part it was amazing to see what people would come up with. When you really think about it, Penny is someone's weapon. As far as weapons go, so long as someone doesn't create a nuclear bomb or a time-warping device, I think the RWBY universe is an opportunity for people to create some pretty interesting things. As for teams, I think it would be more interesting and way easier if the team system had a change/update for the site, and that the site itself offered a new element to the RWBY universe with its plot line. I totally skimmed this thread so I don't know if you decided on your own spin. But it would be way easier if instead of teams there are partners, like in Soul Eater, and then different sets of partners make different teams and let the players decide team names but it's sort of a mix and match for different missions. Also put in a death penalty for players who go AWOL. I guarantee people will be less flighty when they realize their char will die in the mission thread if they fail to stay active. I'm not a fan of death-enabled sites but sometimes certain sites require that in order to keep things running realistically.

^ i fully agree with pasc's suggestions. esp the partner one. it'll be a lot easier to reassign a partner to someone if a character gets dropped than reassigning two members of a team because two characters in that team got dropped.
also, with the death penalty, i feel that if a member wants to return and bring back a character that got the death penalty, they should be allowed. it could be that the character actually survived and some survival expert huntsman/huntress found and healed them back up to shape and kept them safe for the time they were gone.
i'm still really excited

I'm going to say that I'm on board, and if you actually need a mod (look for some first, for the love of God), I have enough experience that I could help...
... But that's if you can't get a team.

pascaline rwby does have a lot of leeway, yes, but that statement is quite strangely true for a lot of characters. That's more what I was getting at. I guess you could always say, "when in doubt, it's also a gun". As for teams -- I don't know if I want to go for the pair dynamic, because the 4-man teams are a major part of the RWBY universe. The way they are, though, it's partners into teams, so it could be a possibility that they're still organized into teams, just that the team dynamic is a little looser. The team and pair dynamic still somewhat works the same, though, even if you have the teams -- it's no different than having 2 people from 2 different pairs disappear. I'm definitely keeping the death penalty, though. I think after a certain period of time I might make players unable to reclaim the character, for the simple fact that a) too many people "miraculously coming back to life!" and "magically surviving!" gets a little too cliche. Not to mention, if it's not handled carefully, you get both the cliche and the fact that it throws a wrench in teammate development, because they may not necessarily be reassigned to the same team/partner. As for plot -- I haven't entirely decided. I've played with the ideas of using the canons really, I just want an excuse to use my collection of over 200 Weiss/Pyrrha icons further but I'm also not entirely sure on that, because it's difficult to get people into the mindset that "they're just another team". Part of me was looking with rolling with the Vytal Festival because then there's the tournament, and people can actually make use of the other Academies -- ex. how we've got Sun and Neptune running around with teams RWBY and JNPR even though they're from Mistral. With Volume 3 out I think there's plenty to roll with in terms of the plotline from there, but I'm still tossing up ideas on the actual plot. I do want to do something more concise to start rather than something sandboxy, though. SIFR -- at this point the only thing I'm looking at needing is possibly somebody to do basic advertising and affiliating. -Shrug- I can do it, I just don't particularly enjoy it, lol. Depending on who I drop the concept to, though, I may have a few friends who want hands in the cookie jar, that's for sure.

Adding an update to this! - The lore on Semblance/Aura and Dust has been drafted up. We're working on the lore for the kingdoms, Grimm, and small explanations on the races as well. - We've got 3 staff members to start, so I think we're good on a staff team. - Most of our IC areas are up, and most of the typical site information is done. Once the character application is finished, the team listing is all coded, and the important lists (who plays who, face claims, etc) is up, then I think we'll be reading to do a soft opening. As for the soft opening -- it will be before the skin is done and we've done any advertising. So far I'll be contacting Light, DARKEE, Kratos, SIFR, ๖ۣۜΩmega, HADES | ALONE, and murk. pascaline as well, since I'm assuming creeping this thread means interest. If anybody else has people they'd like to invite for the soft opening, that would be awesome! That way, we'll look nice and active once the advertising spree begins.

HELL YEA WE GOT SOME LORE GOING ON~ /shot But no really, its awesome to see that so many people are having some good comments about the site opening! We will try super hard to get stuff up and ready for you guys. Also adding on to Saska's update, the lore for Atlas, Mistral and Vacuo have all been done. Lore for vale and stuffs will be done by saska, so don't blame me if it takes forever -glances at her- as for lore on the wars and stuff I'll work on that tomorrow as well as boards for new areas in those three kingdoms that fit with the new lore that has been written

actually, one thing i didn't ask about. what member groups will there be? i'm just curious 'bout it because i'm more likely to make an independent huntsman probable criminal/asshole than a student at the academy >3>

DARKEEAs far as I know, its a high possibility. We are allowing hunters/huntress that have graduated so if your character has a good enough reason for deserting then yup. We also have the bad guy teams too, so you shouldn't have any problems with that if you go about it the right way ^^
