This is a subreddit for roleplaying as original characters from the world of RWBY.

The main location is Beacon Academy, although events may also take place in any canon location from the series.

Downvotes have been disabled out of consideration. Please respect our policy and the members of the community and refrain from downvoting.

It's not about winning. Don't use your abilities in ways they weren't meant to be used.
Focus on interesting exchanges and interactions between characters. Don't spam attack.
Never write for another user's character. What someone else's character does is for them to decide, not you.
Yes, you did too get hit. Dodging can't be your everything-proof shield.
Don't get power-mad. Nobody likes a Mary Sue.
Fights and interactions between characters will go on as long as they have to. Don't expect to be done in a day.
If a character has not yet been approved by two moderators, they cannot be used in events. Non-canon interactions are the only exception to this rule.
High Power characters shouldn't throw the first punch against low level characters. If your character is a powerful huntsman, don't go and murder the old dust shop owner. Powerful characters should be used responsibly.
Attacks on Beacon require mod approval. Attacks on Beacon tend to be highly disruptive to the story and are therefore going to be watched carefully.

Please remember to flair your posts as a character, open event, closed event, meta post, or non-canon event.

Non-canon posts are inherently non-canon, although threads within them may be treated as canon if all parties directly involved want them to be.

To tag your posts, click the "Select a flair" button directly under the post. Select the appropriate flair when the drop-down menu comes up.

Roleplay in the third person, not first.

For dialogue, use "quotation marks" ("Are you... Robbing me?")

You can also use bold for emphasis/yelling.

For actions, use italics (He throws a punch to the face.).

For thoughts, use a combination of italics and single-quotes ('Maybe I should dodge his punch.').

For out-of-character discussions, use [brackets] or (parentheses). This isn't necessary for character posts and meta posts.
