The Remnant Zodiac: A RWBY RP
« on: April 05, 2017, 03:09:16 am »

(If you have no idea what RWBY is, look up the Red Trailer and explore.)

It's Time to Say Goodbye.

Instead of my usual "Story" spoiler or the like, we're starting off rockin'! Greetings, Bay Watchers and Posters! See, my latest game, Chaos Chronicles, crashed and burned in a fiery explosion of complicated stat additions and a convoluted storyline (as you do). So, we're going to do something else: A "Who Are Our Avatars" inspired RWBY roleplay, inspired by not only WAOA, but also r/FaunusSensitivtyClub.

"Well, how will this work?"

Simple. Players have a character, be they Canon or Original, Hero or Villain, and they roleplay out Player and GM (and Player-GM) created story arcs, leading to wonderful continuity. With this game, I aim to make something quite enjoyable, if not original (which it isn't.)

"Whoa, whoa, Canon?"

Oh, yes. In addition to OCs of many varieties, players can also put forth the effort to play as characters from the beloved web series. You can be a new guy called Chase Alabaster, or be our lovable buxom blonde Yang Xiao Long, for instance. The only limit is your imagination someone else picking your character.

"This sounds...Chaotic."

Of course. But that's why I, the GM, am here to make sure order and (some semblance of) sanity remain and nothing too OP happens in the thread. However, in addition to dice rolling and refereeing, I will also play as well, with a character and all, and jump into other players' story arcs and such, though I will refrain from doing so until some people join in. Shipping and Character Death are allowed by default, but I might change the former if enough people ask.

And yes, there will be dice. Here are some rules for that:

Now, with all that said, let's get to the sheet template.

I'll go ahead and post my Player-GM character, so as to bump the thread and have someone when it starts up. Also, in the show, Aura goes up to the hundreds, so the starter number is a straight 100, with every two Aura points adding a d20 to it.

With only one day left in the Setting poll, I think it's high time to bump the thread.

The vote is done! Volume 3 is our starting point. If you're reading the thread and are interested, go ahead and make a character.
