As the updated Ruleset is out (You can see it here), which will bring about a number of changes to the reviews.

Possibly the most significant change is that '''We will begin to enforce the color naming rule (Viewable Here). '''As the updated guidelines state, if the correlation is not obvious to the average reader, include it within the page's Trivia.

This also adds more guidelines on how retroactive reviewing will be done. Simply put, the canon has changed a lot since quite a few of these OCs have been rejected, or some reviewers simply missed things. In any event, should a reviewer see something obviously contradicting canon and leading to a clear rejection, their is now a distinct protocol for going about completing said action.

In addition, take note that artificial intelligence will only be accepted in bodies the size of humans or larger.

There are more definite guidelines to what semblances can and cannot be, as well as confirmation that semblances are not required for acceptance.

There's also a host of other guidelines, and users should probably check them all out prior to submitting their OCs.

If a guideline says:

Mandatory - The OC must fit this requirement

Reccomended - This is not required for acceptance, but will likely help your OC fit the style of the universe better

Disgression - This is left up to the disgression of the user as to whether or not it is being used in a way that will fit the canon.

Again, see the new ruleset at http://rwbyfanon.wikia.com/wiki/RWBY_Fanon_RP_Moderation_Team_Base_Guidelines
