Hi Wulfgar,

Unfortunately, though, RWBY doesn't follow the U.S High School Age, as all of our major first years with the exception of Ruby are 17 when first starting at Beacon, and is officially the age you need to begin at for any of the high level academies. If you want clarification on this, visit the guidelines page via this link, where it will say exactly what I'm telling you.

As for the Earthen arrows, yes...I wasn't okay with the whole "make armor by shooting an ally" deal, because that has the potential to go horribly wrong if done at the wrong time.

As for the Dust thing, there's likely some evidence could suggest the contrary, as they've been relatively the same, with powdered Dust being much more unstable than crystalized Dust, given that a sneeze was able to trigger it, but I'm not going to go hog-wild in searching for it at the moment. Still, I can see your point, and so far have not found any evidence to suggest the contrary as of right now, though this might change.

Personality makes sense in that light.
