Fandom RWBY Prequel: Pillars of Chaos (reboot)

[Quincunx]

Also, we've already got someone waiting on being a side character, but I want to start classes before we make any big decisions like that, to see what dynamics look like.

 

[Dream Killer]

I've been waiting on Quiet to answer my PM, as my next post will involve taking everyone to the school and I need to know whether she'll be able to continue with this (in most RPs, when someone waits this long, they tend to be about to drop).

Molli, I honestly think she's not coming back. She keeps getting online, and not doing anything. She obviously saw the alerts, considering how many times we tagged her, but she never replies. This RP is gonna die if we wait much longer. @Quiet @Dendyne

Alright... Imma contact Kiyoko to see if she wants Quiet's spot, and if she doesn't, I'll give it to Zetas. I understand that we can't let this thing die for the sake of one person. It's just... it's tough to see someone who totally slayed go, you know?

Yeah, I feel ya. But I honestly love this RP, and I'd hate to see it die.

I'll spend tonight contacting people and drafting a "reviver" to move shit along, and post it tomorrow (today if I get responses).

 

[Quincunx]

@Dream Killer Kiyoko and Quiet have been contacted. If Kiyo does not reply by 5 p.m. EST tomorrow, I'm contacting Zetas. Let them know that they might have a spot. If Kiyo is interested, I will try to fit Zetas in as a side character or something, but I can't promise anything.


@Dendyne I'm really sorry for doing all of this without getting your blessing. In my defense, the urgency kind of got to me (I work really hard on this, and I can't let it die because I'm waiting for people), and I get the feeling you would've said the same thing, albeit with the same heavy heart I currently have.

 

[Dream Killer]

I can contact Zetas for you, if need be. We are literally sitting right next to each other xD @Mollisol

 

[Dendyne]

Someone mentioning me over here?


Yeah @Mollisol I can't blame you, life happens as it were so good on you for taking the tip of the spear on this one, it sucks but losing what we've built up here is out of the question.

 

[Quincunx]

@Dream Killer @Dendyne Kiyoko is in, and making a character for the R of ORCA.


Ask Zetas about how much he's comfortable controlling. We already have me controlling the other first-years, and @Dendyne controlling the baddies (besides, y'know, Cinder). So... I have an in-game reason for the abundance of first-years and the complete lack of upperclassmen, although I'm not currently ready to verbalize it. We need maybe one upperclassman... to be the survivor. >u<

 

[Dream Killer]

Alright ^-^


Should Zeta make a CS with the normal sheet??


@Mollisol @Dendyne @ZetasThiery

 

[Quincunx]

@Mollisol[/URL] @Dendyne @ZetasThiery

Hmmm... that'd probably be best. Likely, we won't wind up using all of the information that the regular CS asks for, but it's better to have too much to exploit than too little imho.

 

[Quincunx]

@ZetasThiery ,


First off, I'd like to offer you a sincere welcome to RWBY: Pillars of Chaos. We're happy to have you here, and there's been a sore need for upperclassmen, so I'm glad you get to play that role and hope you are too.


I like Crimson's profile, but it's missing something important (something I forgot to add to the CS, whoops): at the bottom of the Combat tab, divide 25 points between the stats discussed in the Mechanics tab (normally it'd be 21, but you have a more experienced character who naturally should be better at fighting). These stats will determine the outcome of your character's PvP battles.


I'd also like to give you a brief rundown of what you should expect in this game:

• As the lone upperclassman, Crimson will mostly be interacting with professors as he'll be taking unique classes, but he is allowed to take either Aura Development or Dust Mechanics as a "catch up" class to mingle with the underclassmen.
  
• After classes have started (which will be soon), the general structure of this RP will be in a four-"day" rotation: Combat classes, Noncombat classes, Academic classes (timeskipped past; these are actually a free day for characters to pursue their miniplots), and finally a day for Missions. Each "day" is expected to take 1-3 real time days. Depending on whether Crimson takes Aura Development or Dust Mechanics, he'll have two free days, one class, and a Mission.
  
• The reason there are no other upperclassmen is that Crimson is the sole survivor of a calamity that wiped other teams and his teammates out. You may want to work what he's lost into your posts somehow.
  
• Finally, Crimson will be the last living member of Team RDCR ("redcurrant"). This is less for your posting and more for my record-keeping.
  

I hope I haven't intimidated you with all of this (if it were me in your shoes, I'd want to learn as much as I could, so I tried to do that for you). On the contrary, I hope it's given you a good idea of what will be happening during this game. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in this OOC tab. (I might be a little slow to respond, though, as I'm currently working on some things and (yawn) kind of sleepy. But I promise I will respond!)


Have fun!

 

[Aryel]

Whoop welcome @ZetasThiery


Just got home from a two day event and will be working on my next post. Sorry for the delay and damage caused, if any.

 

[Aryel]

I wonder, should I still post my post?


And are we waiting on anyone at all? It is rather quiet, despite it being a weekend.


EDIT:


Eh, Imma post it anyway. We need a little activity in the thread. I'll just edit it so when the time comes.

 

[Dendyne]

I'm still alive over here!


Whoever decided that people should work on weekends is the Devil incarnate.

 

[Quincunx]

Hey everyone,


I'm not sure we're ready to start classes yet (I'll do that after a few more people have posted, but waiting for everyone is gonna be like herding cats). I just want to tell everyone who's posted recently that you're doing great, keep up the good work. I'm really happy you guys are a part of this, because I honestly was not expecting detailed replies or writing as good as this. You're blowing it out of the water.


I'm just all emotional right now; this has gone far farther than I thought it would and you're all so great.


Keep it up.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

I think my character's complete...? I hope it is, as honestly I don't know exactly what it is; and I'm the creator! Oh well, probably because I did the character purely off of impulse rather than thinking up ideas and everything.

Reading this...


I'd feel like I have to accept this solely because of the Suika Ibuki face claim, because she's one of my favorite characters (also helps that Suika's ability is density manipulation and she drinks a lot). However, even without the face claim, Reimei seems pretty well-developed, and a good fit for Team ORCA.


The only thing I'm iffy about is the Semblance of matter manipulation - I've never encountered a character that has such a wide scope of abilities. I trust that these are limited accordingly - for example, bigger changes take more aura/have a greater backfire risk/etc. Having worked with you before, though, I've seen the way you expect others' Semblances to have reasonable limits, so I'm sure you've done it with your own character and this is just implied. Besides, her limited initial arsenal makes up for it. (What I'm trying to say here is, I accept it, and am trusting that you will not get too OP with it.)


She's accepted. All the information you need should be in that post I tagged you in and in the link; if that's not the case, just ask and I'll explain stuff as best I can.

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Ah, sorry about not including any specifics on such things as limitations per change in the materials. I'm pretty tired right now, plus when I do things on impulse, I often forget key things as I'm not really focused on much but the idea of the character itself. I often times miss out on including the specifics of balancing factors as a result, since I get caught up in the basic idea itself xD


This'd probably be one of those impulse character ideas that I've actually really enjoyed making and cared a lot about though, as it's the first impulse character I've actually ever posted as a serious character, as well as the first impulse idea I've actually posted for a RP I've cared a lot about. Took me a whopping twenty-four hours where as usually, impulse ideas I make something for in about two or three.

I forgive you. If you want to edit it in at some point, that'd be appreciated, but I understand if you don't have time between getting your intro up, and everything else you're involved in.


Well, I couldn't tell she was an impulse character until I checked your reply to the OOC, so ya done good xD

 

[Kiyoko Tomoe]

Yeah, very initial thoughts when I began working on this character via reviewing what already existed was "Oh hey, this RP needs some screwy but logical physics."

@Mollisol


So the professors and which classes they're teaching have been re-arranged, right? Or is the overview more accurate than the NPC tab?

@Mollisol

Whoa, let me look at this @_@


Ah, you're right; something is amiss. Firebrick should be teaching Dueling and Lore; Gorman should be teaching Grimm-related classes; Palma should be teaching Aura Development and Dust Mechanics. I'm going to fix that ASAP.


EDIT: it's fixed; thank you for pointing that out to me.

 

[Quincunx]

@Kiyoko Tomoe @ZetasThiery classes will began after y'all have posted so we can integrate you into the game.

 

[Quincunx]

Reply will come tomorrow, hopefully after @ZetasThiery has posted, but I can't wait too long.


Sorry for the wait, guys; I wasn't expecting the RPs I was involved in to all suddenly be active the hour before I went to bed x_x
