Since this is the RWBY Fanon, of course most roleplaying done here will take place within the world of Remnant (following all show rules of course and those of the wiki as well). The events that transpire can be at Beacon, in the wilderness, or in some fan made location within the world.

This doesn't limit you to just RWBY related RP's though; the characters you create here on the Fanon can be used in the setting of other media like Pokemon, or you can create a different timeline of events like a zombie apocalypse infection the world of Remnant. Essentially if its out of the normal setting it fits into the category Alternate Universe or AU for short.
