User blog comment:Blume313/rwby team part-3 prototype - looking for help on this one/@comment-24828824-20150307175427

fuck it i'll give some feedback, but it will mostly be what we dont allow in this fanon and what can be improved upon.

ok with this guy there isn't much so far, but you have an extensive format so a lot of this can be translated into descriptive sections like appearance and personality like we typically use on our character pages.

i'm sure this has been said before but on this wikia we do not allow OC to interact with Canon characters, for the obvious reason that you'd have 50 people being friends with Yang, 25 people dating Ruby or Weiss, 120 people who were in the sa,e final match against pyrrha in her last tournament and 9001 secret assassin right hands to Cinder Fall. you can see that this would lead to problems when RPing in a single continuity as we do here.

now to more practical matters:

Name: after the big speech Ozpin gave about the great war we learned that the color rule is for first names, but since we already have James Ironwood i'm not gonna give you too much trouble on that name. keep it in mind for future characters though.

Relationships: see above in the first paragraph on canon interaction. also you could expand on the friendships he has in the background or personality paragraphs to better illustrate how they began and why they get along well.

Semblance: nothing wrong with this, although i bet we have one or two people who already have the exact same effect, for this reason we have a lit of all semblance ideas already in use so you can see if there are any taken.

Aura: What you describe here isn't nessesarily wrong, but you word it as if you have a selection of abilities for aura. So far we have not seen people have any special traits with their aura aside from semblance. All aura behaves the same for the Canon characters and any unique qualities are atributed to a semblance, since a character can have only one semblance this limits the special abilities, when we learn more about aura we can expand on that in RPs too, but keep in mind, everyone is on the same level when it comes to Aura.

Weapons: Now this is an understandable mistake but we have so far seen every single character in RWBY wield a morphing weapon and never have we seen any huntsman use more than 2 different weapons and with no more than 3 modes (excluding compact storage) on their primary weapon. We have to use this as a guideline until we have more information so we cannot exceed these numbers with our own characters. Also it is in the spirit of the show to have a character use one weapon with multiple modes to be prepared for combat rather than have them be a walking arsenal. (I also tend to prefer a more diverse arsenal with my OCs but you gotta work within the rules we can derive from the show or else we'd get too far from the real thing)

I suggest you take the time to look up some of the already accepted characters here to see how we usually format our pages.
