See you've taken a look at my profile page. :D

I was actually making characters about a month before I came on here, so Team BUHI didn't really take long to finish--especially since I'd already basically finished Sandi and  Istalrí before ever even coming on here. If you ever want any ideas, I can probably give you some after some thought. Also, if you're stuck on names (for following the Color Naming Rule, aka the CNR), I recommend this website:

Oh, and if you didn't know about the CNR: It's actually something Monty, the creator of RWBY (RIP, Monty...), set for himself, and as such, the Fanon is respecting him by following it as well. Basically, the first name of your character should either:

1. Be a color.

2. Mean a color.

3. Relate to a color.

4. Make you think of a color.

Try to be original with your names--find a name, and twist it a few times to make it your own! Take Hebline, for example. Her name actually came from the Lao word heb, meaning "hailstone". I added the "line" to it, and presto! I had a name! I even played with the pronounciation. Instead of saying it like you would Madeline, you say it as heb-LEAN. Pretty neat, eh? ;P

Also, to use a canon example: James Ironwood. The name James means "holder of the heel". In other words, since the word "heel" relates to a color, it works! So, even if the name means a phrase, as long as one of the words in it means a color, you're good to go! :D

Anyway, yeah, I think this is a good place to end this conversation. Talk to me on my wall if you ever want to talk again. I'm always open.
