Hey Fanon, Dust here with a long awaited announcement regarding the updated Guidelines.

They are up as of this post and can be accessed on the front page. However, some things to note:

NEW TAG

A new tag will be introduced due to the lack of tag management tools on Wikia. In addition to receiving the Accepted Character tag, characters will also be given the Volume 5 tag. This new tag will differentiate OCs that have been accepted prior to the Volume 5 update and will spare our admins from going through each character manually and purging the appropriate tag.

KINKY DUST STUFFS

As revealed in Volume 5, Dust Infusions have been confirmed and rulings have been adjusted for this.

WINGED FAUNUS

Winged Faunus are confirmed to exist in Volume 5 (although the example is an anatomical abomination) and rules have adjusted to allow for them. Currently, winged faunus can only utilise their wings to glide. Sustained flight via organic wings is still not allowed.

AURA ENHANCEMENT SEMBLANCES

Aura Enhancement Semblances will be given the Awaiting Canonical Information tag due to the significant lack of knowledge available currently, such as its limits, potential, and story/individualistic elements exclusive to Jaune.

MAGIC AND GRIMM-PARTS

FACTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS

Faction/Organization rulings have been completely revamped to be more specific and canon-fanon-friendly. Details are too numerous to sum up briefly so please make sure that read about them in the Guidelines and adjust accordingly.

Hey everyone, Dust here.

This is an important announcement regarding the reviewing of Original Characters. Considering the significance of recent information released in Volume 5 ( discuss in #spoilers ), it is decided by the staff that reviewing would not continue until the end of the Volume, and by extension, an update to the Fanon Guidelines in accordance to information presented in Volume 5. Furthermore, it is strongly encouraged that everyone reviews their own characters in relation to the new Guidelines when they are updated as a mass review will not be implemented.

Hey Fanon! Dust here, original character reviewer and professional lolicon, with an announcement about a the launch of my secret little project, RWBY: Expanded Realms.

RWBY: Expanded Realms?

Yes! RWBY: Expanded Realms, or Ex;R for short is a project started by me (Dust) and expanded on by some staff member as well as select users. Ex;R will aim to expand on the existing world of Mounty Oum's RWBY where the show, in our opinion, has failed to do so in the most basic level. In addition, it will provide baseline resources to assist all users in creating their own content.

A full list of topics can be found on the RWBY: Expanded Realms Table of Contents page.

What does that have to do with RWBYFanon?

In short, the articles will help users work on the same base and understanding of concepts. These include things like the workings of Aura, or the place Dust has in the world of Remnant. Having a centralized understanding and agreement will help ease the process in both roleplaying and reviewing.

As such, Ex;R will be a official feature of RWBYFanon.

Is this mandatory?

No. This is a big no as at the end of the day, anything contained within Ex;R is still fan-made. However, the articles and information written are all produced with canonical facts in mind and well respected. In addition, should any canonical information be released to the public in the future, the canonical information will always hold priotiy over fan-written content.

Thus, writing up the Ex;R standards is completely optional and one is more than welcome to follow purely the RWBYFanon Guidelines put in place since the conception of this RP site.

How do I use these resources?

Simply navigate through the RWBY: Expanded Realms Table of Contents page and go through the necessary articles. When your character is up to snuff with Ex;R standards, please indicate that you would like to be reviewed via Ex;R rules by tagging with the "Ex;R" tag.

What if what I'm looking for isn't there?

Good question. If it's not there then please notify us by commenting on the Table of Contents page. If the subject in question is deemed important, we may start writing and expanding it based on user and reviewer input. Users might also be asked to write on our behalf if need be.

Anyway, we look forward to any feedback, questions, or suggestions in the comment sections below.

Hey Fanon! Dust here with a quick and important announcement.
