            For those not in the know RWBY (Crunchyroll link) is the animesque web video series produced by RoosterTeeth, the fine gentlemen responsible for the RedvsBlue series.  It features, magic, impossibly cool weapons, liberal interpretations of physics and high school/ college life.

            The main characters are undergoing incredibly difficult training to become monster hunters known as huntsmen and huntresses.  Each person has three primary tools to defeat the monsters known as the Grimm, their aura, their semblance and their weapon. Aura is a physical manifestation of one's soul and is used to do a number of things ranging from activating magic, to protecting oneself from harm.  One's semblance is an ability - usually hereditary and singular - that gives an advantage such as polarity, enhanced speed, kinetic energy redirection or rune generation.  Weapons on Remnant, the name of the world, are varied and usually hand crafted by their wielder, they act as a combination of bladed weapon and gun.  Ammunition for weapons usually comes in the form of Dust (RoosterTeeth link).  Additionally, some people weave dust into clothes for their weapon or infuse it into their body to give them a great deal of personal power for a period of time.

            People come in two forms, Humans and Faunus, humans are standard and are a social majority, and Faunus are 10% furries, maybe ears or a tail or some other animalistic feature.  There are 4 main kingdoms, that haven't shown any signs of actually having kings.  They are Vale, Vacuo, Mistral and Atlas.  Additionally, there are villages outside of the Kingdom's protection that are often assaulted by Grim and the death tolls are high. We will be based in Vacuo, the most arid region of Remnant.

      *An important note, is that I will not be 100% following the canon lore. I'll use my artistic license to make this a slightly more unique experience, that I hope you'll enjoy.

I don't have a system picked out, but the opening will be primarily freeform with a few rolls for the moment. Character sheet, ho!

Limit of 8 character slots.

Traits:
By taking traits, a player can lower certain subattributes in order to boost others. For example, one could lower their STRENGTH by 1 to increase their PRECISION by 1 if they use a melee weapon, or decrease their DUST ATTACK to increase their DUST CAPACITY. These are different from perks, and don't necessarily have to decrease and increase by 1.

Perks:
At first level, a player may have two perks, and gains an extra one at level 5, 10, and so on. An example of a perk would be Sienna's reactive aura.

Semblance: A player's special ability, whether it uses dust or not.

Weapon: A player's weapon, giving bonuses to certain stats depending on its form. A rocket launcher might give a bonus to dust proficiency while a dagger might give a bonus to precision.

Spoiler: Known Dust Types (click to show/hide)

Dust takes different forms: Raw and crystalline. Raw dust is potent and less controlled, and is often times the type used in semblance. Crystalline dust is controlled but less potent, and is often used in conjunction with machinery and technology.
Dust can be more powerful and with stronger effects depending on the grade, which is determined by its fineness and density. Low grade dust has basic effects, but each tier of dust higher than that increases its effect and damage.

Primary
Fire Dust: Attacks deal -2 damage but also deal 1d6 fire damage the next turn.
Air Dust: Attacks have extra knockback and have a chance to make the target prone with a test of Dust Proficiency VS Speed.
Water Dust: Lowers [STAT] by 1 after the attack and the next turn.
Earth Dust: Attacks have the blunt effect and knockback. Can disrupt the ground to create zones of hindrance.

Secondary
Ice Dust [Wind+Water]: Attacks reduce speed by 2. Powerful dust attacks can encase something in ice.
Lightning Dust [Wind+Earth]: Attacks have a chance to stun enemies equal to Dust Proficiency *4 %, OR deal damage that pierces armor.
Light Dust [Fire+Wind]: Attacks can blind an opponent, decreasing their precision by 1.
Dark Dust [Water+Earth]: Attacks can create zones of darkness that increase dodge by 1,  OR decrease enemy's dodge when attacking by 1.
Sand Dust [Fire+Earth]: Attacks decrease Damage Resistance by 1. Powerful dust attacks can surround something in a sandstorm that deals damage over time.
Time Dust [Wind+Ice]: Typically doesn't deal damage, but rather create zones that decrease enemy speed by 1 or increase ally speed by 1, or other effects depending on its use.

Tertiary
Energy Dust [Fire+Wind+Earth]: Effects are broad, but are usually able to pierce armor or reduce one's aura defense by one dice.
Psionic Dust [Ice+Wind+Earth]: Often times doesn't deal actual damage, but rather illusion effects.
Polarity Dust [Wind+Fire+Ice]: Broad uses, but usually used with semblances. Can disarm enemies with a test VS Strength.
Gravity Dust [Earth+Ice+Fire]: Able to accelerate things quickly to add a momentum bonus, or create zones of negative or positive gravity, as well as have a chance to stun enemies like lightning.


Chaos Dust [Fire+Water+Wind+Earth]: The culmination of all 4 elements. The most powerful and most expensive dust. Can have custom effects, but is extremely difficult to use and can often cause self-damage to one's aura when attempting to activate it.

PTW AND TAKE FIRST CHARACTER SLOT!!!! Sorry for yelling >.>

Spoiler: Sand Devil (click to show/hide)

Name: Lilly Primrose Calhoun
Age: 17
Sex/Gender: Female
Race: Faunus, of the Fennec breed
Description: Lilly (prefers Prim) is a outgoing girl who dresses in light clothing and usually always shorts. She carries a satchel with her filled with her personal items, a computer, scroll, and a plush she calls Taurus. She is a faunus and proud to display it. It appears that she has more than one tail, but that is due to her Semblance. She likes to wear her papa's cowboy hat and her mom's duster, in memory of them.
History: Prim grew up on a ranch in the desert taking care of the cattle that her parents owned. She enjoyed this up until the ranch was attacked by Grimm, where she swore to become a Huntress to take revenge for the death of her parents. She never went to school, but is self taught in reading, writing, math, and basic knowledge. She built her first weapon, Magus Moons, when she was twelve.

Parkour Expert- Prim has always taken the time to see just how mobile she can be, training her body to always move faster and always reach further. +2 Speed.

Semblance:
Desert fox- Prim is forever connected to the desert she was born in, allowing her light manipulation of sand and fire. Her semblance is almost always visible, taking the form of extra tails growing behind Prim. This doesn't use dust, but can detonate it if need be.

As long as Prim has enough sand nearby, she can dive into the sand and burrow at an extremely fast speed. If she doesn't burrow, she can still use the sand as if she was on a skateboard going downhill.

Prim's body is always hotter than normal. with enough concentration, she can smelt sand into crystalline glass. This synergizes with her sand manipulation, allowing her to control the glass afterwards as if it was still sand, using it as an improvised ranged weapon.

Weapon:
Magus Moons: Prim's weapon allows her to weave dust into sorceress like attacks akin to a fireball or a frost cone.
-High Noon Mode: Prim's revolver mode, this allows her to instantly fire off attacks without needing to weave dust. generally weaker than Normal mode. +3 Ranged damage
-Knuckle Duster Mode: Prim's mundane mode, The gauntlet's weave function is disabled, instead infusing her punches with the dust normally weaved. +3 Melee Damage

Traits:
   Hard Hitting - -1 DEF, +1 DMG.

Perks:
   Reactive Aura - Whenever Sienna is hit with a melee attack, her attacker faces a small explosion that deals 2d6 damage and knocks them back.
   Dust Detonation - Whenever Sienna activates dust to explode it, it gains an extra 1d6 damage dice.

Semblance: Aura Detonation - Sienna's aura is volatile, just like her personality. She can use her semblance to interact with her aura to make it detonate in portions, propelling her blows, exploding dust, propelling herself, and damaging and knocking back melee attackers. When Sienna uses dust for explosions, it gains a considerable boost in power.
Her semblance can be used plain with dust to create explosions in an area of effect that apply the dust's effect.
Her semblance can also be used to propel herself, enabling pseudo-flight as well as momentum bonuses to melee attacks.
Her semblance can also be used to add power to her weapon by using it to create an explosion at impact (or creating an explosion behind it), adding dust damage as well as damage from her perk.

Weapon: Metallica Conflagrate - This weapon's primary form is that of a giant hammer strapped onto Sienna's back; its folding metal's color scheme features hues much like her clothes, and its head features complex pipes for dust to be channeled through. It can be transformed into a large rocket launcher that fires dust-loaded rockets that explode in a large area, or it can be transformed into a long-range flamethrower that diffuses dust into powder form, then igniting it as it jets out the barrel.
   Hammer Form: +2 blunt DMG.
   Rocket Launcher Form: +1 Dust Attack, AoE.
   Dustthrower Form: +1 Dust Attack, AoE.

I haven't started writing her backstory yet, so if anybody wants to connect backstories (or be family or something), let me know before I start on it tomorrow.

Name: GWG/Goldy Teef
Age: 17
Sex/Gender: Female
Race: Faunus
Description: Goldy as she is called by friends, is built like a shark. Brimming with muscle and with very rough skin. Her mouth also share resemblance with a sharks, as her teeth are, well, shark like. Her skin is covered with dust tattoos in intricate patterns that could be described as tribal. Her normal outfits always consist of short shorts, and sleeveless tops as if she ever uses her dust it would just destroy the sleeves anyways. Her hair is held back in a long braided pony tail, it's in fact, so long that it reaches the small of her back before it ends. Her hair is a vibrant purple color. Her eyes are pure black, like a sharks. Yes, it is creepy. The bridge of her nose always has a bandage across it. It's purely for decoration. In terms of breasts and her backside, as some of the men may be wondering, she's kind of slender in the front but her booty is like the gods themselves made them.
History: Goldy was raised by her father after her mother left them when she was but a child. Maybe that reaffirms one's belief that men shouldn't raise girls, maybe it doesn't, whatever the case, Goldy grew up fairly normally, with maybe only a few acts of unnecessary violence perpetrated against people her age. At one point or another, Goldy and her dad had to move from their cushy life in Vacuo to a slightly less cushy one in Mistral, where she picked up some tattoos and a new style to fit her new pass time of fighting at a local fighting establishment. It was there that she saw her first real crush

hey did somebody say rwby i don't know anything about it except that the weapons are cool and the dog is a bomb so reserved or whatever

[Powder Miner]

Color me interested, and reserve me a spot
...KJ
are you literally making GWG as a RWBY character

[kj1225]

Nah, that was just a happy accident.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Oh. I was about to say that if you were, you would have to get busy constructing your massive walls of text anytime you wanted to post anything as GWG. But obviously that doesn't matter anymore.

[Powder Miner]

Which one of these five character ideas should I use?:
Character who nullifies other Semblances/maybe Dust (Reusing Chartre from the last RWBY RP)
Amphibious/underwater fighter character
Exceptionally sickly and frail and yet determined girl who has a lot of aura (but isn't very nice)
Tinker girl
Dude who eats dust to regenerate aura
