/rwby/ - RWBY

>>624

I'm cool with that.

Give us what you got, OP.

>>626

Looking good so far. As a note, any criticisms are purely opinion here, so don't take me at too much face value.

At the moment, I'd say maybe change the 2nd weapon combo. Spear/Rifle is Pyrrha's shtick at the moment, so we don't want to be too close to that. Maybe a halberd or some lesser known medieval weapon that could be shimmied into a gun?

The example origins definitely should be heavily tweaked or at completely redone. 2 and 3 just sound like edited versions of Weiss and Jaune's backstory.

Besides that, looking forward to it.Hoping for some fun lewd times.

We'll always be with you anon-kun

ALWAYS

No need to worry, Anon. The above examples are just to give the players a general idea of what I'm doing.

How many people are even interested in playing? I can't really tell since this board does have IDs.

>>628

Alright, sorry then, just nitpicky nature of mine.

I can confirm that >>625

is not me, so that means at least 2 people are interested at the moment.

>>629

>Alright, sorry then, just nitpicky nature of mine.

That's cool. I'm pretty obsessed with making everything perfect and prefer people to be straight with me so I can improve.

Good to see at least two people are interested. I'll hopefully have something substantial soon. We'll just have to keep this board alive until then.

>>628

>How many people are even interested in playing? I can't really tell since this board does have IDs.

Including OP, there are four people currently playing. If you want, I can turn on unique IDs or players can tripfag. Personally, I'd prefer to keep IDs off so others can be anonymous.

I also pinned the thread for you guys.

>>630

Alright, consider me excited. Will this remain an idea thread, or shall we play here?

>>631

That seems a good example. Might be fun to have some clashes with Blake over our history, help aid character developement, ESPECIALLY if people choose her romance.

>>632

Danke schön mein Board Owner

>>633

>Danke schön mein Board Owner

Funny, I was just trying to study German.

https://8ch.net/faq.html

The faq will have a section on tripfagging (tripcodes) that players can use.

I usually check once or twice a day, so if there's anything that might need to be done, just ask.

>>634

German's fun, you'll love it. Great for yelling. But it might also make you cringe when you remember how they pronounce Weiss Schnee in the show.

And if we're gonna be tripfagging this, then player one reporting for duty.

>>631

>Count three people interested. RWBY as setting is ripe for CYOA-ing and Questing and it might just be what the board needs for some more activity

I certainly think so. Maybe the few posters in /qu/ would be interested if they like RWBY?

>Also if I may be so bold as to suggest an origin in addition to those given as an example

I actually like this idea. If you guys want to pitch idea for origins then I'm cool with that. Ideas for weapons and the semblances that go with them would be cool by me too.

>I also pinned the thread for you guys.

You're too kind. I'm cool without the IDs since I just wanted to know if more than one anon was interested.

I think this will just be the meta thread as I titled it for the time being since I already named it that. You guys can just funpost here and leave feedback/reactions or even post ideas here. I really appreciate feedback and stuff since I'm always looking to improve.

>>626

Sounds good to me.

I might swing by this thing. It could be cool. Might drop some ideas as well, later, to be used. If some are still needed, that is.

>>640

>Might drop some ideas as well, later, to be used. If some are still needed, that is.

Post 'em if you got 'em.

>>642

We won't die this early. Probably everyone just shuffled off to think of ideas/start writing and whatnot. And I'd agree with that. Then we can all come back and brainstorm and make an awesome damn thingy.

Also, to author-anon. How do you plan to handle romances here? I'm pretty sure we all have different favorite girls, so how do you decide who gets picked? Just a vote? Day of the week? Constant cosmic retcons?

>>642

Don't worry, anon. I'm still working on this little project.

If it's not too late, I'd love to join in.

>>675

Anyone can join if they so desire.

>>677

Does this mean I get to be a tripfag for the first time ever?

>>678

I find trip codes gross, but sure, I guess.

I'm gonna be posting some of the stuff I got tonight. I'll be donning my official name just so you guys know who I am. You guys can refer to me as QM if you want.

Note that these aren't the final choices and will be expanded on and added to later.

Example of weapon/semblance:

1. Duel Katars/Pistols. Blink semblance.

2. Glaive/Sniper Rifle. Agile Strike semblance.

3. Claymore/Shotgun. Invulnerability semblance.

If you guys have any new weapon/semblance suggestions then I'm down.

Examples of character origin:

1. Trouble Maker: You grew up in a troubled neighborhood with no shortage of faunus punks and quickly picked up on how to survive in a hostile urban environment. You managed to make it through combat school using a combination of your natural brawling skills as well as some rather shady methods.

2. Outsider: You are an outsider born on the kingdom's border where the grim fighting is at it's thickest. Being the most skilled fighter in the area, your family decided to send you off to Beacon to become a Huntsman. You're cocky, skilled, but a pretty friendly guy outside of that. Your families history during the war might cause some trouble though.

3. Well Learned Student: You hail from the inner city and have never really explored the world beyond that. Your combat prowess are on par with your brain power and give you insight into many intellectual fields that others might not have, though it's mostly pertaining to the creatures of grim and the history of Remnant. Your family has ties with the Schnee Dust Company and you've been provided with whatever you could ever want by your rich parents who have pretty high expectations for you as a Huntsman.

Sorry if I haven't got much now despite all the time that's passed. I have a job and have some other projects I'm working on.

What do you guys think so far?

>>683

Could I go for a scissorblade/revolver combo? With a holographic copy semblance?

And for a character origin how do you feel about me being an upper-middle class faunus? The child of one of the few wealthy industrial faunus families who are still held back by the human elites, preventing them from being truly upper class. He fights and trains hard to become a huntsman to prove to people like the Schnees that faunus are equal, and willing to do their share to protect the kingdoms, if they are included as partners. Still rejected by the working class faunus and the White Fang, though, for being race-traitors (or something along those lines). Studious, determined, slightly standoffish.

>>686

I did say the we'd be playing as a human male but this one is kind of tempting…

How do you other players feel about this being an option?

>>686

>I/me

Not to sound rude, but we're all the character, not just you.

>>691

Honestly, I'd say it's a good idea, but maybe stick with a more simplistic human male approach for our first story. The faunus stuff can come when we get bored and decide to write our darker and edgier sequel.

>>692

Sorry! I've never done a CYOA online before. I'd assumed we were all different characters in the same team, not all playing the same individual. Since that is the case, ignore most of what I've said.

>>693

Oh, well, it's fine. That idea might work later for when there's more writers/people, but for now, we're all playing one character. The idea might still work for the future though, so keep it somewhere.

>>692

Also, because I'm obviously not the smartest, might the Board Owner be able to change the name in that post or at least delete it? Accidentally used the wrong tripcode symbol.

>>696

terrorist sympathizer

Oh please, we can go deeper than that.

Play AS one of the Grimm.

Coming up with original weapon/semblance combos sure is hard.

What do you guys think about a fancy cane that can turn into a shotgun or into a chain sword? Yes, I've been playing a lot of Bloodborne.

I'm also thinking about adding a mace that can turn into a flail (spiked ball + chain). I noticed that Cardin's mace doesn't really turn into a gun so I'm not sure if every weapon can turn into a gun or not. Kind of odd…

>>698

Heh, Bloodborne.

Well, I dunno about a Cane since Roman already uses something like that.

And really, we can shoehorn a gun into ANY weapon. By this point we could go full Predator and have a cool ass Glaive that has the blade deploy down to shoot plasma shots.

>>699

I was thinking that the cane would be more like Ozpin's, without the curve or grappling hook thing.

What kind of semblance would go best with that though?

>>700

Well, if we do a cane, we should probably do a wealthy/aristocratic background then, so it fits.

As for semblance, maybe he can create shockwaves by smashing the tip of his cane into something, or with his fists.

Or if he jams it into the ground and holds still, he can see everything as if time had slowed down.

>>701

Maybe like the son of a wealthy Dust-selling merchant who decides to become a hunter rather than take up the family trade?

>>701

>>702

I like this. I'll add the staff and semblance to the list. Do you guys like the idea of it being able to turn into a chain sword or should it just be a blunt cane?

The semblance will be the shockwave one just so we're clear.

The origin will be added too since I want to have a maximum of 6 origins before starting. Same goes for the weapon/semblance options.

So how about a warhammer that comes with a gravity manipulation semblance for maximum impact? What gun should we put on it? A mini gun?

>>703

I'd say blunt cane, but maybe we can use the shockwave semblance to send vibrations through it to make it like a chainsword or something? We can go nuts, really.

>Warhammer with gravity manipulation.

We Halo now. If we want to go Halo with it, make a shotgun or assault rifle added into the grip.

>>705

Sounds interesting. How much fighting are we likely to be doing?

>>707

It depends on you guys. I was planning on adjusting it to your liking but mostly using it to break up the monotony of just socializing. There's going to be an actual plot which will require you guys to fight some stuff so be prepared for that much.

>>708

Alright, good. Looking forward to the finalized list then.

Example of weapon/semblance:

1. Duel Katars/Pistols. Blink semblance.

2. Glaive/Sniper Rifle. Agile Strike semblance.

3. Claymore/Shotgun. Invulnerability semblance.

4. Cane/Chain-whip-sword. Shockwave semblance

5. Warhammer/Shotgun. Gravity Manipulation semblance.

6. ???

I was thinking for the last one we could go with two gauntlets used for punching, both come with wrist mounted crossbows for the ballistic part. Heck, maybe even a trident that works sort of like Weiss' rapier and can have dust channeled into the three points for different effects.

>>710

I like the trident idea. With a sort of flame dustthrower/ice dustthrower/lightning dustthrower combination? Powerful, but limited in range and with a chance of friendly fire.

>>710

My vote would either be Glaive/Rifle or Cane/allthatshit.

For the last one, I'd say a polearm like a trident or a halberd.

>>711

Just go full fucking Nazi Zombies and have it be like those buildable staffs. Fire, Ice, Wind and Lightning that can be switched out by using different imbued dust containers, like how they reload in the game.

>>710

Allow me to weigh in here:

Drop the gravity manipulation semblance. That sort of power is not the type of thing you want to give to the protagonist in a setting like this, as a first year student. Gravity is the tier of power that should belong to higher-tier antagonists further down the line.

I like the glaive idea, myself.

>>714

4gotmahtrip

>>714

I didn't really understand you weapon ('cause I'm dumb) and didn't put it in, yet.

>>717

Nah mang, you wanna have a chainsaw sword, you don't make the hilt like an ACTUAL chainsaw's. That's boring as shit. Just make it like a fancy lightsaber/sword hilt mix where you either pour your energy in or press a fancy button to make it go "Vrrrrrr"

>>719

Aww yeah, das' what I'm talking about. Looks vaguely steampunkish, and I like that. First pic, at least.

Example of weapon/semblance:

1. Duel Katars/Pistols. Blink semblance.

2. Glaive/Sniper Rifle. Agile Strike semblance.

3. Claymore/Shotgun. Invulnerability semblance.

4. Cane/Chain-whip-sword. Shockwave semblance

5. Trident/Dust Thrower. ???

6. Chainsaw-Sword. ???

I think the weapons should all be done once I figure out good semblances for the two. How do you guys feel about my idea for the crossbow gauntlets though?

>>721

Not bad, though I'm still leaning toward the cane/chain-whip-sword. I've always liked canes as weapons.

>>721

I'm throwing my lot in with either the Glaive/Rifle or Trident/Dust shooter.

Unless our backstory would fit working with a cane weapon better, then that one.

Here's my work so far. Feedback is always appreciated.

Example of weapon/semblance:

1. Duel Katars/Pistols. Blink semblance.

2. Glaive/Sniper Rifle. Agile Strike semblance.

3. Claymore/Shotgun. Invulnerability semblance.

4. Cane/Chain-whip-sword. Shockwave semblance.

5. Trident/Dust Thrower. Storm Semblance.

6. Chainsaw-Sword. ???

7. Gauntlets/Mini-Crossbows. Chameleon semblance.

Examples of character origin:

1. Trouble Maker: You grew up in a troubled neighborhood with no shortage of faunus punks and quickly picked up on how to survive in a hostile urban environment. You managed to make it through combat school using a combination of your natural brawling skills as well as some rather shady methods.

2. Outsider: You are an outsider born on the kingdom's border where the grim fighting is at it's thickest. Being the most skilled fighter in the area, your family decided to send you off to Beacon to become a Huntsman. You're cocky, skilled, but a pretty friendly guy outside of that. Your families history during the war might cause some trouble though.

3. Well Learned Student: You hail from the inner city and have never really explored the world beyond that. Your combat prowess are on par with your brain power and give you insight into many intellectual fields that others might not have, though it's mostly pertaining to the creatures of grim and the history of Remnant. Your family has ties with the Schnee Dust Company and you've been provided with whatever you could ever want by your rich parents who have pretty high expectations for you as a Huntsman.

4. Wealthy Heir: You're the son of a well know dust-selling merchant but your wealthy life just doesn't cut it for a thrill-seeking pretty boy such as yourself. After acing your way through combat school you've made your way to Beacon Academy thanks to a combination of your good grades and of course money. You're as handsome as you are deadly, a real lady killer.

I think I'll come up with one more origin then we're good for that. Would you happen to have a suggestion for a semblance for that chainsaw thing, Ocelot?

>>725

My vote of course goes to the chainsaw. As for semblance, how does Attack Prediction sound?

>>725

I like it. My vote would be for either the cane or the trident, with the Wealthy Heir backstory. Money may be able to get us out of some tight situations (or into others).

>>725

I think so far, my votes would be for Glaive or Trident.

For origin, either Outsider or Wealthy Heir. Heir sounds funner/sillier though, and might work better with the cane weapon, so that's my exception.

>>725

I'm gonna stick with the cane for my vote and I think the Student or Wealthy Heir origin sound good. It'd be interesting to see how our character's wealth could affect the plot.

>>726

I could actually remove the claymore/shotgun weapon and add its invulnerability semblance to the chainsaw since it seems to match with it better. Six weapons are enough anyway.

Possibly the final list:

1. Duel Katars/Pistols. Blink semblance.

2. Glaive/Sniper Rifle. Agile Strike semblance.

3. Cane/Chain-whip-sword. Shockwave semblance.

4. Trident/Dust Thrower. Storm Semblance.

5. Chainsaw-Sword. Invulnerability semblance.

6. Gauntlets/Mini-Crossbows. Chameleon semblance.

You're as handsome as you are deadly, a real lady killer.

5. Hero in Training: You haven't had many encounters with Grimm but you certainly grew up hearing plenty of stories of them and the heroes of old who slew them. Once you grew old enough you enrolled in combat school in hopes of one day becoming a huntersman and protecting the weak.

>>734

That works just as well, thanks QM!

Since I'm guessing this is the final list I'll just go ahead and vote on story and revote for weapon

I'm going for Outsider with the Chainsaw. Do we have enough "players" that a countfag is required?

>>736

Forgot my name.

>>736

Alright, vote tomorrow, we're GETTING PLACES. Aww yeah.

Anyway, another question; Where exactly in the canon ARE we? Do we pop in the same time team RWBY does, or later, or before?

As for Romance, I only care for the main cast. Yang and Weiss especially.

Probably Weiss.

>>738

Voting will most likely begin tomorrow, yes. Just wait for me to give the go-ahead.

The story will be starting with you getting on a ship to Beacon at the same time Ruby, Yang, and the others. Things might be slow at first but it shouldn't take long while also giving you time to mingle with the characters.

>>739

Alright, awesome. Can't wait for the vote then.

>>738

>Yang and Weiss especially

>Probably Weiss

>Not best girl Ruby because real best girl Pyrrha is unavailable

>>741

I can give you that Ruby is a super qt and is definitely one of the best girls.

I'd still prefer Weiss.

A threesome romance featuring White Rose would be nice.

>>748

You can all vote for one weapon/semblance and a character origin. This vote will continue for a day or so to make sure everyone gets a chance to cast a vote. Post any questions if you have them.

>>749

Are we going to be required to take up a trip-code or to name-fag? Because those are sort of an eh scenario.

>>748

I would advocate for:

> Glaive/Sniper Rifle

> Outsider

The trouble maker is just kind of a done-to-death scenario, hero in training is too close to Ruby, wealth heir is too close to Weiss, and well learned student implies that the character would have more knowledge than we already have as protagonist. While the outsider is also a bit of a cliche, it means our character isn't too far displaced from us as the player in terms of knowledge. Thus, outsider is the best choice.

The glaive/sniper-rifle combination fits perfectly into this. The long reach combined with a distance helps symbolize the place of the character within context of the setting, and as an outsider to the rest, while still incorporation a degree of flashiness to flow with the characters bravado. This symbolic effect is excellent in terms of character building, and as the character grows more adept at using his semblance, the closer proximity brought with greater agility to avoid helps to symbolize his becoming one with everyone in Beacon. Most of the other combinations come rather close to the characters already in the RWBY story. Admittedly, the glaive/rifle doesn't stray too far from Crescent Rose, but the fighting style involved in an actual pole-arm versus the a scythe is so foreign that it maintains a sense of uniqueness.

>>750

> being a feeder

You complete monster.

>>738

Weiss would probably be the best choice for any of the given origins. Ruby still doesn't seem mature enough for that sort of thing, while Yang doesn't seem to mesh in personality type quite as well as the Ice Queen. Plus, it gives a more interesting scenario for interactions with Jaune and the rest.

>Who's you're waifu? :^3

Ruby or Weiss. I'm really on the fence about this subject.

>>751

>The trouble maker is just kind of a done-to-death scenario, hero in training is too close to Ruby, wealth heir is too close to Weiss, and well learned student implies that the character would have more knowledge than we already have as protagonist.

Are you sure you shouldn't be running this adventure? I kid though. Sort of.

>Are we going to be required to take up a trip-code or to name-fag? Because those are sort of an eh scenario.

Not at all. I'm just gonna use a name for the time being since I'm not really a fan of using a trip code but still need to let people know who I am.

>>753

I'm just here to see how the story plays out, QM. The descriptions are just showing off to see if I can deceptively twist the minds of any Anon reading into voting the same way. It's my semblance.

>>748

I vote for the Cane/Chain-whip-sword and the Wealthy Heir background. Mostly for the fun of

>breakin' hearts and breakin' hymens

As Buran put it.

>>748

I standby the Cane/Wealthy Heir choice, although I hope if it wins, we don't end up being too much like Weiss.

>>748

I standby the Cane/Wealthy Heir choice, although I hope if it wins, we don't end up being too much like Weiss.

So the current votes are currently:

Weapon/Semblance Options:

1. Duel Katars/Pistols, Blink semblance: 0

2. Glaive/Sniper Rifle, Agile Strike semblance: 2

3. Cane/Chain-whip-sword, Shock Wave semblance: 2

4. Trident/Dust Thrower, Storm Semblance: 0

Character Origins:

1. Trouble Maker: 0

2. Outsider: 2

3. Well Learned Student: 0

4. Wealthy Heir: 3

5. Hero in Training: 0

Looks like Wealthy Heir is the most popular origin while the Glaive/Sniper Rifle and Cane/Chain-Whip Sword are tied right now. I'm gonna give this another day to see if anyone wants to step in and break the tie. Otherwise we can always have a debate/battle royale to see which one we go with.

We currently appear to have 5 players so that's at least something.

Any posts above No.748 don't count as votes so get in here and let your voice be heard!

>>765

We can just ask chainsaw-sword guy if he prefers the cane-chain-whip-sword or the glaifle-rifle.

>>735

>>750

>>774

I guess we'll have to wait for him to show up.

>>774

>>776

Guess I'm tie breaker huh? I'll go with Glaive+Rifle combo I'll try not to cry while I cuddle the print out of muh chainsaw

I looks like the main character is going to be a Wealthy Heir who wields a Glaive/Sniper Rifle then.

What do you guys think about coming up with a general appearance/color scheme for the character? Or do you guys prefer to use your imagination?

>>781

I don't think the appearance will matter. If anything, we should try to establish some form of personality first. Maybe just some quirks, way of speaking/acting, goals, stuff like that.

>>784

I think our best would maybe be to be narcissistic, but quiet, one who prefers to show their power when needed rather than flaunt it or their status. Think Vergil, if he were richer.

I am also for establishing the personality by playing though, so either or, I guess.

The choices are great though. That system should definitely work, especially if you can keep a number like that and stray away from crappy Bethesda Jesus/Evil asshole choices only.

>>787

Haven't played a DMC game (yeah, I know),but I think I see what you guys are going for.

So that seems to be two players wanting a similar base for the character. How about the rest of you guys? I guess we'll still be fleshing the character out through choices.

>>786

Alright, awesome. Will Romance show up through choices also, or will those be predetermined by vote?

>>787

Maybe our new semblance should be MOTIVATION

>>789

The romances will be determined through your choices. Things are just gonna naturally develop and revolve around how you interact with and treat others. You guys will be choosing who you're friends with and who you decide to hang out with/open up to.

>>790

Aright, awesome. In that case, I don't think I have much else to add/ask at the moment. Can't wait for us to start up for reals.

>>784

Excellent, excellent, excellent. This looks like it is taking shape very well. I like the variety of options you are giving, it does a good job of escaping the good/evil dichotomy from other games.

>>781

>What do you guys think about coming up with a general appearance/color scheme for the character?

I don't think the appearance will matter all too much. Are we going to create a name, or will we just be the great warrior Anonymous?

I agree with setting up a personality through choices. We could do it in game, or do an RPG class selecting style of being presented with hypothetical choices before the game starts and creating a personality from that. But all that effort could go into the main game instead, so whatever works.

>>797

>Our character is using the equipment traditionally employed by peasants, which implies that while he is a wealthy heir, he's not exactly being set up with the same standards to live in. If anything, that, plus the description that's been given prior, imply a frat boy type personality.

That actually an interesting interpretation of the character based on his weapon and origin.

>Something like that could make a good springboard to start off with, before adding a degree of depth. But our good friend Anonymous running around in a popped up collar with a nice Vacuo tattoo on his shoulder is certainly an amusing thought.

Yeah, the idea of Anonymous starting as a rich frat boy before slowly developing and changing into something else sounds like an interesting idea. Though if you guys want a Vacuo tattoo then you'd have to have some reasoning behind it like anything else. Would he be from Vacuo or did he just get it because he thought it looked cool? Keep in mind that the adventure is taking place at Beacon and not Vacuo.

What do you other guys think about this?

I know this character creation is kind of taking a while so I hope you guys don't mind that.

>>800

It's more symbolism than literal fact, but yeah, a point.

>>798

I was thinking more along the lines of those people who get a Chinese tattoo or whatever because it looks cool, without knowing what it means.

>>801

Looking forward to it.

>>698

> chain sword?

>Bloodborne.

>Not 40k

Alright, that's some heresy. My weapon is going to be a Storm Shield (discharges electrical power field upon contact) and my semblance is Faith in the Emperor. I figure if it's just an OP slow, large melee weapon with no range to speak of unless thrown (Can't throw it very far), it is somewhat balanced.

As for Faith in the Emperor, maybe it could just be translated to a support/healer class type of thing. In what little D&D I played, I liked Clerics. Points in Wisdom and Dexterity.

Not sure if it really is passable. No character in RWBY has had a shield as a weapon, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible….

>>801

Woohoo! That works fine, personality will be made.

Maybe some quests can be our character wanting to collect or create weapons or something, and thus we can drag in the weapons that didn't make the vote. Would also add another trait for our character, he collects stuff.

How important will the 3 new people be? Don't wanna take too much focus off the canon characters. Maybe some of our roommates could be characters who haven't done much in the series proper.

*COUGH*MELANIE&MILTIA*COUGH*

>>801

Sounds good! I'm eagerly checking for updates every few hours.

>all this fucking activity happens when i slept the day away

Welp that sure showed me. I don't have much to add besides saying that I concur with Buran that being a fratboi doesn't sound too comfy to me, no offense to the anon who suggested. And I'm 100% behind choosing personally through choice consensus. Other than that I'm pretty excited about this game!

>>801

Now if I may make another suggestion this time pertaining to the team. Since we already have a set of origins weapons and semblances why not take from that to make our teammmates?

>>811

>Sleeping

>Not checking /rwby/ every 5 minutes

>Missing updates

It's like you don't even want to be transported into a wonderful world full of attractive, powerful young women with exciting lives and adventures.

>>812

I was too tired after work. Pls no bully ;_;

>>813

Read and r8 my fanfic in the other thread and I'll never bully anyone again ;^)

>>814

gimme a link an i'll r8 8/8 m8 ;^3

>>811

"Now if I may make another suggestion this time pertaining to the team. Since we already have a set of origins weapons and semblances why not take from that to make our teammmates?

I can certainly give the other weapons to your team mates. I'm still going to come up with the team though since we'll just be here all year trying to come up with ideas and then vote on them.

I'm thinking of basing the team members off of a common theme much like JNPR and CFVY. Maybe the three can be like heroes from mythology or something? Or maybe book characters that I'm familiar with?

What weapons/semblances do you guys want the other team members to have? Should they all get one of the following or maybe I can come up with something else?

Weapon/Semblance Options:

1. Duel Katars/Pistols, Blink semblance.

2. Cane/Chain-whip-sword, Shock Wave semblance.

3. Trident/Dust Thrower, Storm Semblance.

4. Chainsaw-Sword, Invulnerability semblance.

5. Gauntlets/Mini-Crossbows, Chameleon semblance.

>>816

Perhaps DC superheroes? The trident/dust thrower belongs to Aquaman, and the the gauntlets/mini-crossbows belong to Huntress?

>>815

It's >>769. Don't r8 8/8 I need honest feedback. After the re-reading the first day's work, it needs a lot of editing. I also need to be reminded of lore and to keep things as cannon as possible.

>>817

That idea is fine if the others like it. You'll just have to give me time to quickly make the characters and stuff.

Where did the others anons go? Does it just slow down here during the weekend?

>>822

Heeeere.

I wouldn't say DC, let's be a bit more pretentious. Mythology definitely works, I'd say maybe some rip off of the ever-famous Greco-Roman, Shinto, or Norse. Maybe one from each.

I mean, Yuno Gasai is referential of Juno/Hera, so we could expy her.

*RWBY needs a yandere.*

>>823

>Mythology definitely works, I'd say maybe some rip off of the ever-famous Greco-Roman, Shinto, or Norse. Maybe one from each.

I mean, Yuno Gasai is referential of Juno/Hera, so we could expy her.

I certainly think so. A huge and devilishly handsome guy with flowing blonde hair and eyes as blue as sapphire could play the part of Baldr from Norse mythology, though I can always do someone else since I'm a pretty big fan of Norse/Germanic lore myself. We could make also make a female with the crossbow gauntlets be like Artemis from Greek myth and make her "yandere" which I believe is weeb for creepy/crazy. There's already a Neptune in the show so we can't really go with that if we already have a Roman/Greek reference already.

>>824

Baldr or maybe Freyja or Skadi. Let's try to have one bro and two girls, or three girls for fun choices and plot stuff.

Yandere is "A Japanese term for a person who is initially very loving and gentle to someone (or at least innocent) before their devotion becomes destructive in nature" Basically, they love somebody to the point of violent/crazy obsession. Fun stuff.

And maybe some other mythology. Babylonian is fun. And I don't know if we should have someone use the trident since we already wield a polearm. Maybe they use the Katars?

>>825

My mythological knowledge is pretty much limited to Greek so I don't know how much help I will be here.

Are we looking to link figures to the weapon options, like with Artemis and the mini crossbows?

>>826

It'd be cool if we could.

Also, I guess we'll have to come up with fancy names for the weapons, too. Or at least a name for our character's weapon.

>>827

Yeah, and I wouldn't mind a character name, either. "Anonymous" unites us all as one, but also divides us into many. And a colour based name would give us a starter for a colour scheme. I'll use my not in any way amazing talents to draw our character if we can agree upon a basic look. I'd guess we take the personality trait and go from there, wearing something like a stylized suit, or maybe an altered Shinsengumi uniform.

>>827

>Or at least a name for our character's weapon.

How about Halberdier or some variation of the name? I can take care of the naming for the other weapons.

So for the first team member we'll be going with a Baldr inspired character as well as a female inspired by Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon and the hunt. I can give Baldr the chainsaw sword and invulnerability semblance to make him more like a berserker or even give him a double bitted axe like Conan the barbarian if you like.

If the above options are good then we are left with just the Katars, Cane, and Trident. I can make up some new weapon/semblances if that's fine and maybe make a King Arthur inspired character which will make naming their weapon easy as pie.

>>831

Well, our name/theme should probably fit with some kind of historical/mythological precedence. RWBY is all fairy tale girls, and JNPR is, according to people, characters who cross-dressed, historical or otherwise. So we need a cool thing with which to draw our name and the other 3 from.

Maybe something like the 4 horsemen or legendary dragons. Aww yeeah

As for costume, come on man. No fedora and trenchcoat? Laaaame.

Honestly, not too big a fan on that design. I'm no help here cause I don't know what I WOULD want, but I promise I'll try to find something at some point.

>Well, our name/theme should probably fit with some kind of historical/mythological precedence. RWBY is all fairy tale girls, and JNPR is, according to people, characters who cross-dressed, historical or otherwise. So we need a cool thing with which to draw our name and the other 3 from.

Well you're a rich heir with a halberd so maybe you're inspired by some sort of warrior who was also fought on the battle field?

>Honestly, not too big a fan on that design. I'm no help here cause I don't know what I WOULD want, but I promise I'll try to find something at some point

What's important is finishing the team at this point anyway.

So far I've got:

1. Baldr (Norse)

2. Artemis (Greek)

3. King Arthur (European)

Do you guys like these mythological characters as inspirations for party members? I'm gonna take care of the designing stuff just to make this move along quicker but would you guys like Baldr to use the chainsaw swords or the huge battle axe?

Anonymous can always be the odd one out if you guys are fine with that. I can't really think of any heroes that fit him well enough.

Here's some possible heroes Anonymous can be inspired by:

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_I_of_England

Charles was a Saint so that's kind of mythical/grand.

>>842

Verdant seems like a fine name, but Adam has already been taken in the show.

Any other first names we could use?

>>843

I was looking at some possible names and found:

>http://www.behindthename.com/name/eric

>http://www.behindthename.com/name/aldric

Might be fitting for a rich child. What do you guys think of these first names?

>>844

I play Crusader Kings, so I totally know about rich kid names.

My favorite I feel would be Valentin. Verdant sounds cool too, have a recurring joke where everyone pronounces it in a bad French accent.

Latin is a goldmine for pretentious names, so here's a couple I found: Aemilius, Constantine, Diocletian, Octavius, Vigilius

Okay guys. What do you think about these name options?

Verdant can be our character's last name but what should his first name be? If you guys want to suggest something else then please speak up!

1. Eric/Aric/Erik/

2. Aldric

3. Aemilius

4. Constantine

5. Diocletian

6. Octavius

7. Vigilius

I hope nobodies lift because the character gen is taking too long…

>>846

Eric. Leave the overboard names to the Tumblr OCs.

>>847

I should point out, though, that I'm not sure how accurate we're being to the color rule. So far it's always been first names that required that element, rather than last names.

>>846

I like Octavius just because it's the most rich kid sounding name on there.

>>847

>>848

Fair points about the name of the character.

How about Verdant Octavius (maybe Vern for short)? The first name is a color and the last name sounds cool and fancy for a rich guy?

All in favor say aye!

>>850

Eh, that certainly sounds do-able. I like the sound of it, at least.

It does mean, though, that:

>>842

Could use a little bit more reworking. The name, combined with what we intend for the appearance, makes me think we should look into the designs used in the Germanic region during the time of the Holy Roman Empire.

>>851

No need to get hung up on the art. That's not really as important as everything else since it's basically just fan art anyway. If we start doing that then we'll be here all summer trying to figure out what kind of socks he wears on Tuesday.

>>850

That's cool with me.

>>850

Sounds okay, though maybe Verd over Vern. Vern just reminds me of Vern Troyer and that bad skit on Family Guy.

>>852

He obviously wears stockings on Tuesdays.

>>855

>He obviously wears stockings on Tuesdays.

Done.

It looks like the characters name will be Verdant Octavius at this rate, as long as nobody really protests to it.

I'm gonna get some more work done before we begin our adventure. I hope you guys are as hyped/nervous as I am!

I'm willing to take suggestions for things you'd like to see in the adventure before we truly begin, so post them suggestions!

>>851

Are you talking shit about my art? You'd better not be. Or else….I'll break your legs!

>>857

I like it!

Things I'd love to see:

-Lots of cute girls

-Lots of hot sex scenes

-Racial, ability, gender, gender-alignment and species-alignment diversity amongst the characters Lel, JK

>>857

Suggestions:

-Don't die or get too stressed about this shit

-Give us a warning if we fuck up really really badly

-Have lots of Yang appearances because she's muh waifu

>>860

The first two points are exactly what I agree with. Cute girls especially.

And all of our creepy fetishes

>>861

Yang a sexiest RWBY

>>860

>-Lots of cute girls

>-Lots of hot sex scenes

Those two are pretty much a given so no need to worry there.

>>861

>-Don't die or get too stressed about this shit

I'll try my best not to die. Unfortunately, the Grim Reaper waits for no man.

>-Give us a warning if we fuck up really really badly

Not sure what I could possibly fuck up that bad that I could fix somehow.

>-Have lots of Yang appearances because she's muh waifu

Every important character is going to get plenty of time in the spotlight, even more so if you guys decide to hang around them.

>>862

>And all of our creepy fetishes

I can do fetishs as long as they fit into the story fine enough and aren't extreme stuff like water sport or even diaper.

>>863

>Just a challenge. Nothing's worth having without working for it first, after all.

I like providing a challenge for my player, no matter the game. I'll be sure to throw you guys some challenges for good measure. Not all the romantic partners are going to be super easy and throwing their pussies at you. I'd like to think that I'm capable of pacing the romances well enough so it doesn't feel like a blatant wish fulfillment story.

All your posts are noted and I'll be sure to keep them in mind while writing the story. You guys are fine with the whole saving the world deal while also getting plenty slice of life when not out fighting evil, right?

I want to keep it varied so you guys don't get bored.

>>864

Yep, I'm good with that.

>>864

>>864

>Extreme like water sport or even diaper

Welp, nevermind then

All in all though, it looks pretty good. As long as it keeps interest, we can do any saving the world thing. I'm mostly in it for the slice of life honestly.

Looking forward to the true beginning of our story.

>>866

Goddamn fetishists, you ruin everything!

The only fetish people should like is cuddling.

>>868

Yeah, King Arthur is the last one. He was either going to wield a sword and shield or a single bastard sword. His color scheme was going to be mostly red with a little white thrown in.

>>869

Not bad, though her horns will obviously be smaller in size.

>>870

Excellent. Next time I have another 3 hours free I'll draw him. I was going to make him grey and red, but I can do red and white. Although that gets pretty close to St George territory.

I like the bastard sword idea. What ranged weapon would go with that?

Sorry if I've been messing with your ideas too much. I can re-attempt any of the art, but I don't really want to mess with these masterpieces.

>>871

>What ranged weapon would go with that?

Probably an assault rifle since nobody seems to have one yet. His semblance will be the ability to absorb part of an enemies attack and just keep bottling it up in his aura before unleashing it in the form of a energy wave fired from his sword. When used with his gun, the attack basically rains death upon the enemy in a hail of bullets.

>>875

>Vibe

Hooray, we're homosexuals.

Alright, I like the first 2 names. Verdant and Iris, they sound good and natural. Balder Einherjar is a maybe, although it sounds like a mish-mash of just 2 nordic words.

Edread just sounds silly, although I can't think of any other fitting E names for the character. Maybe just look up old Anglo-Saxon names? I know a character with Æ in their name just has to be a suave motherfucker.

>>876

Edread is just Eadread without the 'a' in it. Eadread is an Anglo Saxon name meaning red/happy

I agree that an AE name is cool but it would throw off my **VIBEs*.

>>877

Well, maybe give him a cool nickname with the Æ, but the embarrassing first name that is Eadread.

>>878

>Well, maybe give him a cool nickname with the Æ, but the embarrassing first name that is Eadread.

I can do that. It might even make him a little interesting since he'll want to be called by his nickname and not his actual first name.

I'm gonna wait for the others to weigh in on this but it looks like we're gonna be good to go soon enough. The first part of our little story is almost ready to go. If you have any questions or want to talk about the CYOA before we start then that's cool.

Something I noticed is that team JNPR has the names oddly placed since Juane and Nora are beside each other despite not being partners. That might give us enough leeway to allow your partner to be random based upon you choices during the trial at the start of the adventure.

Hai gaiz what i miss?

>>875

>>876

I was going to suggest we get a team logo and then print up some shirts, but I'm not sure how I'd feel with "VIBE" written on my chest.

>>880

Only some of the best character design and concept art you will ever see.

>>879

Yeah, don't worry about the name ordering too much. I think Ozpin just does that to be pretentious, so we can do whatever the crap we want. I don't think I have anymore questions though, so good on us!

>>880

EVERYTHING

>>881

Then don't do it on shirts. Make it something like a team armband. We can even have our own special team salute!

>>881

>I was going to suggest we get a team logo and then print up some shirts, but I'm not sure how I'd feel with "VIBE" written on my chest.

Like having Verdant having his rich family create some shirt along the lines of Nora's "Boop" shit?

>>882

>Make it something like a team armband. We can even have our own special team salute!

I'm cool with this.

>>883

>Like having Verdant having his rich family create some shirt along the lines of Nora's "Boop" shit?

Actually, that just made me think. What IS Verdant's relationship to his family? And who exactly makes up his family? Any siblings, tragic backstories, maybe an arranged marriage proposal?

>>884

>Actually, that just made me think. What IS Verdant's relationship to his family? And who exactly makes up his family? Any siblings, tragic backstories, maybe an arranged marriage proposal?

We can figure that out as we go along. I'm pretty much ready to start any day now so you guys shouldn't have to wait much longer.

>>885

Alright, cool. I'll be looking forward to it then.

>>880

I assume you're caught up with everything now? What are your thoughts so far>

I also wanted to announce that I'm working on the stories intro after reading over the entire meta thread once again. I'll keep you guys posted!

>>889

Looking forward to it!

>>892

It's good so far. Don't worry too much about the details. As long as the main plot points are there, we can use our imaginations to fill in the blanks or ask questions.

>>896

I appreciate the art. Though the characters aren't going to look 100% like you posted. I'm hoping to leave it open enough to where everyone can have their own idea of what they look like.

>>897

No problem, just my interpretation from the details we had so far. I just like to provide high-quality OC for the board.

>>899

>I just like to provide high-quality OC for the board.

I'm sure we all do.

I know it's taking a long time to get started so I hope you guys aren't getting too antsy.

>>900

Nah, it's cool.

I've gotten good at being patient.

>>908

A specific time would be great. Afternoon can be so varied.

>>908

I can stay up late to make it work :^)

>>908

A Friday is fine too.

Looks like it's gonna be Friday then. We'll be starting after 6:00 EST and continue until midnight.

After that I'll try to update every day (except Sundays) as long as something doesn't come up. The new thread will be made once we're ready to start on Friday and will be the official thread for the CYOA/Quest. This thread will remain as a meta discussion room.

>>912

Sorry about the time not working best for you. You'll still get the chance to post when I'm not here since I intend of retiring for the night with a vote of sorts asking for everyone's input on what to do next.

>>917

Glad it works.

Any questions?

>>918

Great.

I can't wait to see what you come up with.

>>918

>Sorry about the time not working best for you.

All good, time zones don't always work in my favour.

>>938

I am extremely excited. For tonight, how long will we have to respond, or how many responses will you need before moving on?

>>939

>For tonight, how long will we have to respond, or how many responses will you need before moving on?

I'll give you guys plenty of time to respond. I'm in no rush at the moment.

I'll be posting in a few minutes, hang tight, guys!

Sorry about the slight delay. I like to spellcheck everything before posting and make sure things make sense for the most part.

Are you guys liking things so far?

What do you think about the dialogue choices?

>>952

I like it

The choices have plenty of difference and uniqueness, so nothing I can say about those too much.

>>952

Liking it so far. It has enough detail to keep it interesting, and is brief enough to keep it manageable.

I also hope you guys like how I'm depicting the characters so far. If I goof up then please correct me. Same goes for anything else in this CYOA, really.

>>959

I like them so far, but feel we need a bit more exposure before we can decide if you've really nailed them or not.

Then WE'LL nail them.

Awwriiiiight.

>>975

So far so good. Nothing much I can add, loving it at the point.

>Is there anything you desperately want to see

Se-

>Other than sex that is

Oh. Hmm…

Intercourse

But no, really, I'll be excited for tomorrow's session. Can't think of anything to add, just hope we can all make it again.

>>975

I thought after the "you must have no friends here" choice backfired we might have had a "don't worry, I'll be your friend!" option. But I guess that wouldn't be fitting for Verdant to make friends with plebs.

A minor point of possible inconsistency: Yang gets angry with Verdant for mentioning Ruby's lack of friends, but immediately after they reach Beacon Yang ditches Ruby to go and hang with her friends who must all die during team selection because they are never seen again. It could be that it's a case of "only I can be mean to my sister", which would fit with my understanding of Yang's character.

Also, how many segments do you think you will do per night?

>>977

>Also, how many segments do you think you will do per night?

I'm going to try and do as many as I can. It will really depend upon how quickly we're able to reach a consensus on what to do.

Will update in just a little.

I had enough time to watch Ninja Scroll and came back to find no new posts by different players so we're just going to go with option #5 for the sake of getting this show going. There are no breaks on this train.

A great night, QM. I really liked your description of the approach to Beacon.

Has Verdant met Weiss before? Did he recognize her by looks, or by the airship? Is it possible they had a childhood crush on each other and are looking to rekindle that flame?

>>1004

If we wanna keep it interesting, maybe Weiss had a crush on him, but he didn't realize it. She got over him, but now her status makes Verdant interested in her, romantic or no, and she become all weird and conflicted and tsundere over it.

God, I hope I write Weiss correctly.

Please no bully.

>>1007

We believe in you.

If you fuck up, we'll help you out.

>>1008

Just post feedback in this thread to keep the official thread clean for the most part. I prefer to shitpost in my own threads anyway.

>>1009

Well, duh.

H-H-Here I go.

>>1013

I feel like I'm the only one here right now that's not actually writing it.

Regardless, if anything, did Weiss speak that fancifully? She's speaking so maturely and perfectly, like her best skill is English. It might be me, but I always thought she had more of a 'rude valley girl' speech pattern to herself. I need to rewatch the first episode though, so I might be totally wrong.

Also, goddamnit Anakin, you whiny little Jedi.

>>1014

Fixing the way she speaks is easy enough.

What about the way she interacted with the main character?

>>1017

Nothing really about that. Maybe she's acting too Icy to someone with a status almost as great as hers? Depends on if her personality makes her treat EVERYONE as Icy or just those she deems inferior to herself. Of course we would be inferior in her eyes, but not to the same degree as, say, Jaune. Basically, we're the best of a bad situation, and she'd interact with us accordingly.

>>1018

Not a bad start for me considering it's 3:00 AM where I am and I'm being kept awake with a combination of tea and my own willpower.

>>1019

Yeah, definitely not a bad start at all.

The tea will make you strong. Soon, you will be writing entire novels of Weiss' interactions.

>>1013

I thought it was pretty good. I can imagine Weiss being cold to everyone in order to make people want to impress her. I'm sure that's a business trick or something. But she is still a girl, and Verdant is tall and has refined, handsome, pure Aryan facial features, so it is only natural that she would warm to him slightly.

That's enough writing for one night. I'll see you guys tomorrow at the same time as usual!

Your feedback and suggestions are always appreciated!

Sorry about the delay. I needed the sleep before getting started again.

What ever happened to that Revolver Ocelot guy? Did he fall down a hole?

I'll head to bed in a little if nobody replies in a little. I hope you guys are enjoying the way I write Weiss.

>>1032

I'm still here. I think Ruby is the best girl.

>>1038

Are you posting Anon the the threads? I was wondering if you'd left.

Just a quick update before my nap. I'll see you guys in a few.

>>1042

You're doing good, QM. I haven't posted much in this thread recently, but just wanted to drop in a bit of encouragement.

I slept way longer than I should have. I'll stick around for a few hours before heading back to bed to update one more time today.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm having a lot of fun, especially writing Weiss and exploring her character.

If you guys have any suggestions for the future then let them be heard. I'm here to please after all.

Imma go and sleep before work tomorrow. See you guys later!

>>1056

Yeah, I'm having plenty of fun too. LOVING Weiss, and I certainly can't wait to see the rest of our interactions.

Weiss and Ruby fighting over Verdant when?

>>1056

I'm glad you're having fun. I was going to say it's an awful lot of work for just the 5 or so of us who are playing.

Is this Faunus girl Iris Astra?

>>1058

**Ruby, Weiss and Pyrrha passive-aggressive jealousy pls.

>>1061

>I'm glad you're having fun. I was going to say it's an awful lot of work for just the 5 or so of us who are playing.

Yeah, I know. I wanted to wait until we got more activity but I have little patience, especially when I'm excited over a project like this. If you guys want to invite more people on 8chan to join then that would please me.

>Is this Faunus girl Iris Astra?

Maybe.

>>1062

>invite more people on 8chan to join

Oh, believe me, I try at every opportunity.

Next time we have a tie, I might just flip a coin to see which option to go with unless it's something really important.

>>1074

Yeah, coins are nice. The random element is cool too

I stayed up extra late to write the new update. I hope you guys like how I write Pyrrha.

If any of the characters in the scene seem off then just tell me in this meta thread.

Night!

So what do you guys think about the way I'm writing Pyrrha so far?

>>1088

Was she always that upbeat? She seemed more the emotionless one of the bunch, from what I saw at least.

Regardless, I like it. Can't wait till we get to the real fun stuff.

>>1088

I'm liking it so far.

>>

1089

She was really upbeat and friendly at the very beginning, even if all she could get out was "Hello" before people started worshipping/hitting on her.

>>1095

We'll probably pick up again on the weekends. Definitely looking forward to the point the story picks up.

>>1095

The pacing is great, it feels like we are getting to know the characters at a reasonable rate, not getting too close too soon.

I know I've been using some of the dialogue form the actual show but some of the options I have laid out kind of lead into it in some cases. Sorry if it's boring or whatever. You'll notice that I'll be introducing some of the same characters later but in a very different way from how they were in the show, just to mix things up.

>>1122

No problem, especially not at this point. I was having some difficulty writing for Blake, so I went to look up her bio to check if I was doing it right. There was a note there saying that even the show's writers find her difficult to write.

>>1129

>There was a note there saying that even the show's writers find her difficult to write.

I'm certainly feeling that right now. She's probably one of the more complex characters in RWBY.

Don't mind me if I make a few mistakes regarding Blake. People seem to like how I'm doing the characterization so far, so that might be a good sign for things to come.

I'll update tomorrow. I don't want to get sloppy with my writing.

I'm back after my break. 8chan was down yesterday if you guys didn't notice so I decided to sleep all day long.

I've been wondering if I've been making Weiss too bitchy. Thoughts?

>>1161

You don't seem to be going overboard or anything. Really just write her off as a straighforward rude ice queen who gradually begins to melt towards others who she enjoys the company of. So far, she seems legit, so long as this act gets dropped the further we get in. Character development and all.

>>1163

>So far, she seems legit, so long as this act gets dropped the further we get in.

That was my plan. Good to know I'm on the right track so far.

I'll be updated later tonight/today.

I'll be updating later.

>>1181

Can they be other people's themes from other shows? If so, I vote for Satsuki-sama's theme from the Kill la Kill soundtrack.

>>1184

I could work.

Sorry about the slow update. I had to work on Iris a little before doing her reveal.

>>1193

I'm liking the vacant-hippie-nature-girl thing she's got going on.

>>1206

Looking good so far.

One question though- how do you roll dice again?

>>1207

You click the "show post options & limits" button under the post. If you're still having trouble then try using a guide I guess.

>>1208

Can multiple people roll and we take best result, or is it just one shot takes all?

>>1210

>Can multiple people roll and we take best result, or is it just one shot takes all?

Let's go with the first one for now. It will give you guys a good shot at pulling roll challenges off. Each players only rolls once, no re-rolls.

>>1211

Forgot my name.

>>1222

Have fun!

Also, nice trips.

Just wanted to drop by and say that I survived my trip to the convention. I've got some cool RWBY cosplay pics and will post them in a different thread later before updating my story.

>>1227

I await those pictures with baited breath.

So are you guys enjoying the combat system so far or is it pretty unimpressive and simple?

I can always change it so it sucks less if so.

Honest opinions!

>>1308

It's pretty basic, but the format doesn't allow for much more. Having us roll with our choices would save some time, though.

Maybe for a future combat scenario you give us each points to vote for an inventory for bonuses/penalties to rolls?

Also, I want to hear more about this Loli you met.

We'll be keeping it simple for the time being since this isn't supposed to be a 100% combat focused CYOA. I wanted to make a second RWBY CYOA after this one with more advanced combat and skills but that comes later.

>Also, I want to hear more about this Loli you met.

What loli? Do you mean one of the chicks from the cosplay pics I posted? What do you want to know exactly? I wouldn't really call her a loli.

>>1326

You said in >>1252

>I also talked with a lolita about Iron Maiden's new album

Mostly just interested because I've never met anyone I would describe as a loli, nor have I ever heard it outside a /b/ pedo thread.

>>1355

When I said "Lolita", I was referring to a girl dressed in the Lolita fashion style. Look "Lolita Fashion" up and you'll see what I'm talking about. You might have gotten Lolita mixed up with loli or lolicon which I can understand since I used to do the same thing.

>>1379

I see, that's disappointing.

I've written Team VIBE into my fanfic, I hope you guys are cool with that. So far only Edread has shown up, and the others may only be mentioned, but Verdant might get a favourable mention from Weiss.

>>1451

Link?

>>1455

They probably won't be doing much, they might just pop in for some advice or a fight or some gossip. I'm having a hard enough time writing in all of the existing characters, except Sun and Neptune because they suck.

So far Edread just got beaten by Cinder's team in a research fight. I buffed his archaic speech forms, and have him saying "forsooth".

>>1460

Did Edread also have a shield, or is it just the bastard sword?

>>1468

Edread only uses a sword which he is more than capable at parrying attacks with. His semblance also removes the need for a shield since he absorbs attacks through his aura.

>>1469

>>1460

Ok, I've fixed that, and I've posted the first 3 chapters here >>1483. It's just Edread so far, but there will probably be some gossip about them next chapter, and then they might have a combat scene during the Night Exercise in chapter 5 or 6, and they might be in the plane scene towards the end.

>>1484

Interesting. I look forward to seeing what you do with VIBE in the future. Also, welcome back writefriend!

>>1497

I think you've been doing pretty good so far.

I can't think of too much I'd like to see more or less of except Weiss.

>>1497

That is a very cute pic. I'm still loving it. I felt we spent a bit too much time fighting in the forest, but I suppose that is just because I wanted to get back to the character interactions because your character writing is really good.

>>1498

Are you saying you want to see more or less of Weiss-sama?

>>1497

I definitely agree with >>1499

on spending too much time in combat. It felt like we'd wait for an update, just for a couple of lines and then our NEXT combat move. We had to make an accidental groping happen to keep it interesting. I'm not saying the combat is bad, I'm just saying give it more substance and less updates just for a combat maneuver.

The character interaction is top notch, of course. You write them well, and I'm sure that's the biggest reason no one likes the combat dragging on.

>>1499

Less.

>>1504

You can go and fuck yourself, good sir.

>>1507

just discovered this board a few days back, your CYOA is wonderful and am glad to be playing along with others :)

>>1781

nope, literally just searching for RWBY on the boards page

>>1781

nope, literally just searching for RWBY in the boards, only started RWBY a month and a bit back and loving it

>>1781

There seems to be a RWBY thread on /co/ every fortnight. Are you the one who unashamedly shilled in the most recent one?

>>1799

>Yang is the best out of the two

I'm not sure we want your kind around here.

>>1809

>Are you the one who unashamedly shilled in the most recent one?

Nope. I do post in them though since /rwby/ is a little slow when it comes to discussion, and I use /co/ pretty often myself. I have shilled our board once in one though.
