DEAD
It was a good run, but this was my first RP that I OPed. People are beginning to suffer from real life problems, and some are leaving. I have learned from my terrible mistakes with this one, and I hope it will be rebooted in the future. There is one glaring flaw I think this RP had. We had to work in 4-man teams. This required complete dedication from all 4 members to always stick around. Obviously, this didn't work. When I do this again, I will need to come up with a way around that. Expect me to form a brand new RP soon. I have been tossing around some ideas in my head and was thinking of making them into an RP.
Thanks for everything!
RWBY: Grimm Eclipse
Legends, stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past. Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful. But he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness, creatures of destruction. The creatures of Grimm set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man’s brief existence to the void. However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change and in time, man’s passion, resourcefulness and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named, “dust”. Nature’s wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness and in the shadow’s absence, came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life. Even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die. And when they are gone… darkness will return. So, you may prepare your guardians… Build your monuments to a so-called free world, but take heed… There will be no victory in strength...
Hello, I am Kalbana. If you haven't already figured it out, this RP is going to be about RWBY! RWBY is a series about a world called Remnant. In Remnant, humans and faunus constantly live their lives knowing that they live only through the tiniest of chances. The Creatures of Grimm constantly plague them, pillaging villages, killing everyone, and slaughtering everything in their path.
The Grimm are said to have appeared soon after the dawn of mankind. They have targeted early Humans for as long as can be remembered, seeking to destroy them and all of their creations. At first, it seemed as though they would succeed as Humans did not have the strength to fight them. However, Humans discovered the power of Dust and with it, the Grimm were driven back. During this time, Humans enjoyed a time of peace and soon formed their own kingdoms, which grew to survive and prosper. This time will not last forever, however...
While Grimm are initially mindless and heedless of risk during their youths, to where they will simply attack any humans on sight, some Grimm are so powerful that they have survived to live for hundreds of years, and in that time they have evolved and learned from their experiences fighting humanity. In doing so, they have exhibited restraint and the patience to avoid taking unnecessary casualties in futile conflicts. Instead, they stay close to humanity's borders, waiting for the opportunity to come where they can finally strike, and thus mankind is always in ever present danger, even in times of apparent peace.
Not only do humans inhabit this world, but so do the Faunus. Faunus are humans with animal traits, such as cat ears or bull horns. They have been treated throughout history as second-class citizens, with nearly no rights compared to regular humans. Eventually, this led to war. Faunus were tired of being treated like slaves, and rebelled. They were able to make humanity recognize them as living beings, and all was well, for the time being.
After the Faunus Rights Revolution, the White Fang was founded as a symbol of peace and unity between Faunus and Humans. However, Humankind continued to discriminate the Faunus, prompting the White Fang to become the voice of the Faunus. Initially, they took the classical forms of nonviolent political protest with such tactics as mass rallies and boycotts of organizations that discriminated against Faunus in any way. Then, approximately five years before the present day, after fruitless attempts to be accepted by the Humans as equals, the leader of the White Fang stepped down and was replaced by a new leadership who didn't share the same belief in nonviolent protest. Under this new leadership, the White Fang adopted its current violent and aggressive behavior. Amongst the direct actions organized were the firebombing of stores that refused to serve Faunus and the theft or sabotage of cargo trains originating from organizations that used Faunus labor. Under its new leadership, the White Fang retaliated against the people and organizations who once treated them as lesser beings and slaves. Ironically, in an attempt to gain equality and make the Faunus race free from fear, the White Fang itself had become a cause of fear and hatred amongst Humans and Faunus alike. If some Humans now treat Faunus as equals, it is not out of any true respect, but only from their fear of the actions of the White Fang.
You are a Hunter. Hunters and Huntresses are elite warriors trained from a young age to combat the Grimm. Both humans and faunus are accepted into their ranks. They use complex and intricate weapons, designed for both melee and ranged combat. They also have control over their semblance, a special trait or skill they can use, such as super speed or pyrokinesis. Many academies train these warriors, but by far the most respected academy is Beacon. You have just been accepted into Beacon after passing a rigorous entrance exam. Well, at least most of you did. You might have gotten in through, less than honorable methods. That aside, you will be forming 4-man teams to combat The Grimm, along with anything else lurking in the shadows...
