RWBY -- Darkest Before the Dawn

Once Upon a time...
In the world of Remnant humans were born into a hostile world populated by evil creatures known as "Grimm". While a magical element known only as "Dust" had allowed them to fight back for centuries, it was no longer enough. Darkness had returned once more, spreading across the land, pushing humanity behind the walls of four remaining kingdoms: Vale, Mistral, Atlas, and Vacuo. But not all is lost, while there are certainly monsters in every corner of the world, it is also filled with Huntsmen and Huntresses from all walks of life, and each with their own unique style of combat, and even more unique weaponry. Heroes like the are trained in combat academies, located all around the world, from Beacon academy in Vale, to Haven in Mistral. These academies have been operating for ages, training future generations of huntsmen and huntresses.
But things have taken a change for the worse. The Darkness has gained footing, and Beacon has fallen to it. Because of that people are panicking, not only in Vale but in all of the four kingdoms. If it could happen in Vale, what's preventing it from happening all over the globe? The world is a mess, and may not be safe, even in the protection of the four kingdoms, for very much longer.
The world may lay in ash and cinder, but it is in times like these where even the smallest of lights, and the tiniest glowing warmth, can give hope. Beacon may have fallen, but it's hopeful glow has not faded as long as some of its huntsmen and huntresses still stand to defend humanity. Although many stand alone in their duty, they all fight to protect the people they swore to protect from the moment they enrolled in Beacon. And even with its fall and the whole mess after the fact, that goal stands resolute.

Astraea Is accepted, Welcome to the thread! I feel bad that the general form I made doesn't look nearly as good as your fancy one xD

He's good and added to the first post

Thanks for the track Serene. Tell your friends ;)

@Tuc -- Alright, to answer your question. For an example, my two characters were students before the fall, and so they never got a chance to graduate persay. I suppose if you wanted to you could be a graduated huntsman, but I'd ask you to be older if that were the case. The other thing I'd like to say is pick one semblance. As well, if you could try and make sure it has limits or some sort of trigger to make it so its not overpowered. Just run it by me and I'll let you know what I think of it.

bumps~ if you all want we could start with who we have.

Of Course! Please do actually.

Perfect, I love their forms, they make me want to do the rest of team CLEY for myself. Welcome aboard. I think we should probably start soon.

Does anyone have a preference for same thread or different?

Ughh I always hate that answer xD I'll just do it here I guess, I'm no good at making new threads. I'll get the first RP post up before I go to sleep tonight.

Smoke rose up from over the horizon, sadly an all too common sight now days. With people living in fear now more than ever, the Grimm are even more attracted to human settlements. And unfortunately there aren't as many huntsmen around to help with the situation. Really all you can do if your settlement gets attacked, is hope you haven't been been forgotten or ignored. Mosts towns fall quick without help, luckily for this one, they were fortunate enough to have had two huntresses passing though when the Grimm showed up, or they might have already gone off the map.
Even away from the town one would be able to hear the sounds of the pair fighting the Grimm, large explosion-like sounds as a rail gun fired, the sound of crumbling structures as Grimm were beaten away with a lance. And the sound of screams from townsfolk yet to get to safety.
"Make sure to keep those things away from the hall Eve! We can't have them getting in with all those people in there."
"I know, there're just-" A pause as the faunas let out a grunt of effort, launching a beowolf skyward with her lance, and impailing it as it fell onto it, disappearing as it did. "A lot to deal with."
"Just... Try your best!"
"You think I'm not?"
"No I mean, just. Never mind, keep it up."
The pair fought in front of the town hall, people escaping from the Grimm congregating inside of the structure to try and avoid death. Of course it may have not been that great of a solution but it was the only one they had for the time being.
The pair had only been traveling through when the Grimm attacked, planning on only staying the night in the town before moving out again in search of both their compatriots, and a reported sighting of the white fang somewhere in the area. The goals were linked in a way, and they hoped by completing one, they might easier complete the other.
