Between you two, Danceria and Torsiedelle, we might just have a new team on our hands!

If you can fit a Z in there anywhere sure.

If we're following the colour rule then BLAZ and HAZE both work, assuming that the other names fit in.

We're all creative enough here; I'd imagine that we can!

Regarding your previous question, I believe that all we know is that there is an entrance exam that involves some sort of combat. It also relies on documentation that an entrant (to be fair, a reasonably intelligent one) is capable of falsifying.

Dance is new-ish too?

A new team?

Shit, so I really do feel compelled to write. Too bad I can't app right now. Tomorrow, at the earliest, if I do. I do enjoy teams.

Hmm...anyone got the colours sage or teal called? Or white. Hmm.

Actually, if someone wanted to copy-paste the individual app and TG it to me, I could start on it today. I'm stuck on the phone today, and it can't just copy and paste from the code box -.-

OOH! IDEA! IDEA! In the lore of RWBY, how does recruitment to Beacon Academy work? Or Academies in general? Are there scouts scouring for otherwise untapped potential Hunters?

OP intervention tiem!

The usual method of applying (not recruiting, it's not a suborganization of the Hunters) is through a rigorous entrance exam, as well as some transcripts (which I assume would be a normal thing in many RL schools anyway). And Nimbus is right, a student can choose to falsify his/her own transcripts to get into Beacon.

However, as OP I don't allow for any student characters to go through the exam process or be introduced as a new student to Beacon. This is gonna poke a lot of inconsistencies in the IC, and I don't want that happening. Thus the IC continuity assumes the student has been at Beacon for a while, more than an entire semester by RWBY canon reckoning, and has known the other student chars to varying extents. If he/she isn't in a team yet, let's just say the "other members" of the team haven't been revealed yet.

I understand, looks like I'll have to tweak that part of my bio. It'll be rushed, it won't be flushed out, but it's enough to slap together a team and get rockin'!

So for my exchange character he's had experience at Shade prior to Beacon.

I'm pretty sure Beacon is where your character will start at. Note that I haven't seen your app yet, so you're gonna have to get on that.

Yeah, that's the problem. My main background was sort of a roving band of mercenaries dispensing justice for coin and lols, sort of like a Robin Hood band. Then a big bad came along and wiped everyone out, and Anuben was the only one left alive, as such, he swore to be the best Hunter ever.

Your character came from one of the primary schools though right? Such as Signal. If so then they'd be trained there to get into one of the academies.

Me just hanging in the back, the loss occurred while Anuben was at Shade, and he feels responsible for not being there when his team needed him to be.

Ah. Well you can invoke flashbacks if you really need to include that part in your intro. But again, I wanna see your app.
