Hello friends! I just had a little thought that ran through my mind since I had revisited the topic of the American Civil War in my Naval Science class (I took US History last year and my NS class is going through the topic this year). This potential RP will take place on Earth in 1860s America during the Civil War and realism mode is activated, meaning no Aura, Semblances, Dust, RWBY weapons, or any advanced technology. Think of it as like your OC was actually in the war, yet wasn't.

Of course, every OC involved has a random chance of dying, whether it be from battle or disease. As to quote William Tecumseh Sherman, "War is Hell."

Since it's taking place on Earth, any Faunus OCs that may be involved will be Human for this potential RP. I'm not sure if the color name rule still has to apply, but you may give your OC a name that would fit in with the time and location (I.e: an OC with a Japanese name will need an English name).

I don't know if I want to make this potential RP historically accurate or purely dramatic and having fictional battles taking place, but I would like to hear your inputs on the subject.

I'll just post up a Wikipedia page for a refresher / history lesson for anyone remotely interested in this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War

Let me know what you think and share ideas if you have any, I'll keep this blog updated!

Blog Note: Oh man, the majority of OCs are white and mine is considered Black...
