Don't worry, we won't!

Assuming that isn't our next plot thingy... (-__-')

Aw man, I spent so much money on this Eclipse Cannon too. :c

Let's let events play out as they will. What happens in WAOA stays in WAOA.

@Eventua: See you then, man. You should be back in time for the passing of the IC's second month of existence!

Seriously, after this crap, I'm perfectly ready for some slice-of-life (inasmuch as these characters can do slice-of-life), character/relationship-developing scenes for a whole week IC.

Personally, I don't want to see another action-oriented plot until Umbra comes around for some creepy Halloween shit. And next time around, I want to help Grim out so that we're not pulling plot details out of our asses to move the story forward.

Yeah, we need to develop all these relationships! Heaven knows Dex needs to have some development after the previous events...

Which I ruined completely with that one thing I will Never Live Down...

Yeah, let's just move past that already, man.

So, I have an idea for some historic world-building. First question: How far back from the present should we assume the Faunus War began and ended? The canon indicates that the war went on for at least three years, occurred in recent history, and that the battle of Fort Castle three years into the war was the turning point of the conflict.

I'd personally guess anywhere from 50-70 years ago would be a fair time period, recent enough to still have political and socioeconomic impact, but far enough back for our characters to not personally have much connection to beyond the opinions imparted to them by their elders.

@Grim: So, we're assuming the war Jaune talked about is the same as the Faunus War? How far back do you say that is?

Also, what time is it IC? I'd be surprised if it's even 10 in the morning right now.

yeah. We can't be completely sure that Jaune wasn't talking about a different war.

Considering the sheer volume of posts that included the phrase "after a few minutes", I'd be surprised if it wasn't 10 PM.

Yep. Like sixty-seventy years.

Also: I'll be busy today, so I'll just skip you guys over to the Palace and you all could just talk and bond and bicker and crap.

Around noon.

Well Jaune states that all his predecessors were heroes and warriors. Given the timing of the rise and corruption of the White Fang I'd place the Faunus war roughly 30 years before the show starts

Alright, then. Second question before I start writing my history world-building proposal:

Should we assume Menagerie is a city in the southeast island on the map of Remnant, or we should it be a region/country that exists within that area?

If his great-grandfather fought in it...

Let's see, that's 3 generations apart, and with people often giving birth 30 years after being born, that's

(O_O)

90 years ago?!? Grim, that's way too early...

#8569: Apr 22nd 2014 at 5:35:47 PM

It's been said that it's actually the whole island. Dunno where I heard that.

[up][up][up]What exactly is this history supposed to accomplish? If it's not related to any character in a meaningful way, I'd suggest not writing it, because history that close to the current time, on a global scale, affects everything and simply making it for the sake of making it means that everyone has to adjust their characters to fit the new element.

No history stuff.

Thats one of the things I think we should stay away from until its confirmed by the show.

Yeah, agreed. If it doesn't have to do directly with us, then we should stay away from it.

I don't know, I just kind of felt like following up on GOA's suggested alternative for the H—REDACTED— B—REDACTED—.

Also, Grim just gave me a PM leaving me in charge while he's busy today. Asking him as to my limits now.
