Well, the last time I showed Grimm thinking was in B1. So, we could easily retcon that....

well I think RWBY canon did establish that the older ones could think, or at least had a certain degree of some kind of intelligence

The World of Remnant video on Grimm is still relevant, guys. The answer to Imca's either/or question is "Yes." Sort of.

well thats what I'm getting my info from Insano.

Basically canon dictates the longer a Grimm is alive the more intellect they gain. Mind you, they're still always evil but it's more like they shift from Chaotic Evil to Neutral Evil.

This post was thumped by the Merciless Hammer of Doom

Waiting for Rhyme Beat 'fore I post.

Not sure what kind of crazy fight Blind and Blinder should get into. (^__^')

Man you guys always move fast.

Sorry for my inactivity, my workplace has been shortstaffed so most of use have had to take up the slack, mostly though, I've been preparing for Gen Con for the last few weeks, and just came back from that con, it was fun but tiring, I'll try to get active again in both forums.

That's okay, man.

Right now, Cyanea should be at Beacon with everyone else not Team Main or Alfred. Concerning her teammates, Noa and Stormer are dueling in the arena while almost everyone else is in a bit of a free-for-all.

Also, we're slowly consolidating a Skype chat for the RP. If you have a Skype and want to join us, just PM me or Rom and we'll let you right in.

I do in fact have a skype, that would help with real time discussion about what's happening. Hopefully if we do voice chat, you guys won't think I'm eight (I have a very high pitched voice).

oh you haven't heard Grim.

Don't worry.

• snerk* I'm serious, I could make chipmonk videos.

I know Grim is a guy, I could see what he looked like, I still thought he was a girl when i heard his voice.

No offense Grim!

I can also say that Grim has the cutest possible voice ever.

"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"

Well, now I want to Skype with you guys, and I usually reserve Skype for people I know IRL.

Even if I have other ways of communicating with them.

Not that I think about it, that's rather silly.

Especially if it denies me Grimoe's voice!

Well, fuck you too, assholes.

...Screw this, I'm setting Skype up now. Though I won't be video chatting until after I move back into the dorm.

its okay Aqua, we don't really call anyways

the call was really a one time thing a while ago

...So most communication is via texts? (:D)

mhm

That's precisely it. Just PM either Rom or me your Skype and we'll get you in the chat.

Okay, Grim wanted me to write this now, so here it is:

Year Three

So in Year One our characters have to deal with Alexandros. Year Two we have to deal with Arcana. In Year Three, our characters have to deal with their own personal laundry. So, that leaves the plots to you guys.

For Year Three, every single last one of us has the opportunity to create a plot that focuses on your character and his/her relationship with their teammates. Your plot kinda has to include your character's teammates, since these plots would likely come in missions that coincide with your character's personal development.

And we're also opening up the opportunity for crossover plots, where two teams come together and the plot has focus on how they work together in tough situations.

So, to recap what we're doing in Year Three:

• Everyone gets to make a plot about their character.
• This plot half-focuses on the character's development and personal issues, however that has to be done. The plot's cast includes the character's teammate, as the other half of the plot's focus is on the character's relationships with their teammates as they deal with whatever personal stuff they have going on during the plot.
• We can do team crosssover plots, too. Would require some heavier collaboration on the creation of those plots, but we can make it worth it.

To be more specific about the personal plots:

• They must focus on these things: your character's personal development, your character's relationship with their partner, and your character's relationship with their team.
• The plot for your character must at least include your character's entire team.
• The plot must involve an actual mission from Beacon Academy. The plot doesn't have to be contained by the mission; it can be used to introduce the greater plot.

To be more specific about the crossover plots:

• They must focus on these things: the relationship between the team leaders, the relationships between the teams as a whole, and the ability of these teams to work together.
• The plot must involve both teams.
• The plot must involve an actual mission from Beacon Academy. The plot doesn't have to be contained by the mission; it can be used to introduce the greater plot.

We've got plenty of time between now and Year Three, and about 39 plots to fill up. So, get planning! Let me or any of the co-G Ms know about your progress or if you need help with developing your character's plot for Year Three.

Maverick Festival

Maverick, a smaller village located in the center of the vytal continent between the kingdoms of Vacou and Vale is a village that works hard to not be wiped out by grim. It also plays hard. Every year there is a week long festival where nearly every resident tries to come together for entertainment and fun. There are fighting competitions, night life, dances, and general debauchery of any kind. But it's also a massive political event as well. As one of the major sources of the continents Maverick Hunters (another term for unregistered, non school trained, or mercanary hunters) it is considered a massive to be scene place for people who need things done off the books of any local kingdoms or out of the eyes of normal hunter regulations. There's a danger here, but there's also the sanctuary of those not normally wanted in this world, and maybe a visit to the development of a young trouble boy who once crossed the teams path.

For Cyanea, it's home, and her large crazy family will be right there waiting for her to embaress her, her friends, and to show just how sane someone has to be to deal with a place so crazy.

Base Reference:

Every permenant resident of Maverick has an awakened aura and unique semblance, originally as a defense against injury and disease. Seventy percent of the residents are active hunters, though only about twenty percent of that seventy attend formal hunting schools. The other thirty percent are niche or specialty businesses that help run the town as a whole, lots of which have specialized semblances that help them along (a florist with domain over plants, a hunting dog trainer that can speak with dogs, a mechanic/engineer who has psychometry so on). They are also the base of the central council of fringe villages for the kingdoms of Vale and Vacou who provide raw resources and supplies but aren't quite close enough to get fast response from the military or hunters in an emergency. There protection is managed a lot by the unregistered hunters of Maverick who are deployed by the Council's Deployment and Protection Agency who protect both them, and police the town of Maverick itself. Also, in general, Maverick is where lots of people tend to go to, disappear. As a whole the community won't reject anyone, and is in fact fiercely protective of it's residents as long as they don't act out of turn in it's walls. This means it has a relatively high faunus population, making it roughly about forty percent of it's population being so which is much more compared to other mixed villages, a lot of them are established families who fled there during the period of time the kingdoms tried to export faunus to Menagerie. This diverse population is also because of the towns nickname, The Town of Orphans. All children from fringe villages who had died because of lack of response time are generally found and taken to Maverick to be cared for at the large orphanage at the center of the town. It is in fact well funded and cared for, and lots of residents, a good few previously orphans themselves, adopt directly from the orphanage. Cyanea, is no exception, with herself, and all of her siblings not having a drop of family blood between them, all being adopted in circumstance from the village. Cyanea was in fact one of the youngest adopted (being around ten months old at the time).

The Mistrali Job

Medus' year 3 plot has already been vaguely outlined in my head for a while now. Essentially Natasha come to Medus with an offer he can't refuse: She needs his help in a job along with some others he deems capable of helping and in exchange he gets the unique opportunity to get back the item that she stole and framed him for. A chance to prove his innocence beyond the shadow of a doubt. But she's going to be watching him and the other hunters closely. One wrong move and the whole situation will explode.
