RWBY Character Creation Sheet:

Name: (Must be a colour, or reminiscent of a colour)

Age:

Gender:

Orientation: (Completely 100% Optional. But this includes sexual and romantic, and regardless if you do or don’t fill this option in, you are free to change it as your character discovers more about themselves. Literally the only reason to fill in this option is if you have any plans on a romantic interest for your characters, whether that’s with another person’s OCs, or with your own, or if you are certain your character will not be into having romantic interest, even if only partially. If you’re not going to use this option please put either N/A, or Unknown, whichever is more fitting.) 

Team: (Optional, but if they are in a team, the team name must also follow the same rules as the character name)

Country of Origin:

Country they currently live: (if the same as their country of origin, feel free to leave this option blank)

Race: (Faunus or human. If Faunus, what kind? What is the trait they have?)

Disabilities: (Optional, but this can include paralysis, or missing a limb, to blindness, or even illness of any kind can apply here, as long as it can dramatically affect them in combat.)

Appearance: (Go nuts, and get creative, as long as you aren’t plagiarising your appearance from someone else. e.g. You can’t have two characters that look exactly the same, unless they are twins. and you can’t make a character that looks exactly the same as someone elses character, unless they are twins, and you have both agreed that they are in fact related. I will accept characters that are inspired by characters from TV shows or Movies, such as the one we are making OCs of, however they must have differences in their appearance, their weapons, their personality, their fighting style, and abilities. I will not accept blatant copies of already existing characters, whether they are from RWBY, or from another show, these are your characters, you can choose their appearances for yourselves, so be creative, be unique, make them yours. (This also goes for character’s abilities too, I won’t accept if you basically make a character that looks similar to Yang and has her semblance, her weapons, her temper, even down to missing an arm, and having a robotic prosthetic replacement) Is it too much to ask for some creativity?)

Personality: (pretty straight forward, but remember nobody is perfect, their personality should have it’s downsides as well as it’s upsides... for example, If they are carefree, easygoing, and airheaded, there’s a good chance they are susceptible to surprise attacks and ambushes, mostly when they aren’t aware of any danger, they may also procrastinate important things, or just forget important things in general, they are most likely a nice, fun person to hang out with, they can also be charismatic, so they can easily rally a crowd, and are easily capable of being a strong and passionate fighter who relies more on instinct rather than analytical abilities, but they can hard to rely on completely for everything, as they can forget the most obvious things, such as spare ammo, or food, or to contact someone first, etc.)

Hero or Villain? (pretty straightforward, really. Unless they aren’t so easily defined, like Raven.)

Emblem: (keep in mind this is optional, but pretty much every character on the show has one.)

Backstory: (Optional, but recommended, unless they are just a student, and not a fully fledged huntsman or huntress. Or if you’re going for a more mysterious character.)

Aura? (I mean, not all your characters have to start with Aura, it can be something they might not have unlocked yet. But if they don’t start with Aura, then they will basically be a normal human, meaning they won’t have a semblance either. But they will be able to train and become stronger as you RP)

Aura strength: (Think the difference between Yang, and Ren; Yang can consciously take lots of damage with her Aura before it starts to fail and damage is taken directly, even if her Aura is still active to some degree, whereas Ren can’t, and often gets incapacitated quickly, depending on the opponent. So Very low/Low/Med/High/Very high to start with, medium being about average.)

Aura capacity: (How much they can use their Aura without tiring themselves out, example Jaune, who has lots of Aura, even if he can’t/couldn’t effectively use it. So Very low/Low/Medium/High/Very high, to start with, medium being average)

Semblance? (Do they have their semblance yet? Not all your characters need to have acquired their semblance yet. Those who don’t, may only have their Aura, if it has been unlocked, that being said their Aura strength and capacity has nothing to do with acquiring their semblance, all these aspects are things your character can train to improve and acquire as you RP.)

Semblance type: 

(This helps us understand what the limits of their semblance may be. A Semblance may fall into a singular or multiple categories, if it falls into multiple categories, they should have a main category and a secondary category, tertiary category, etc. 

The main category will be the category it most strongly fits, and the subsequent categories are in order of the most fitting to least fitting. The secondary category effects will not be quite as powerful as the main category effect, the third effect won’t be as strong as the secondary effect, and so on. The only time where you can overrule this is if it fits in the unique category, in which if the ability easily fits into more than two categories, you can choose at least 2 categories to be your main. However an ability in the Unique category will require approval, to make sure it’s not overpowered. 

(That being said, all semblances will require approval to make sure they aren’t overpowered, it’s just I’ll be extra weary with the Unique ones. *Side note* Your character is not One punch man, they are not invincible and unfathomably strong, seemingly with no weaknesses of any kind.)

(Creation: Think Weiss, or Blake, Weiss’s Semblance is Glyphs, and Blake’s is to create a clone of herself. 

Augmentation: Think Yang, or Ruby. These Semblances take a physical attribute and give them a boost, so Ruby has Super speed, but her semblance takes concentration to activate at different speeds, Whereas Yang’s Semblance grants her an increase in strength, equal to, or double to the damage she’s already taken in the current fight, the difference is Ruby can use hers whenever she feels like using it, but at the cost that it’s very strenuous, the faster she accelerates, But Yang can only effectively activate her semblance in response to already taking damage, but that means as long as the hits she’s taking aren’t too powerful, or too concentrated (see her brief altercation with Adam for that example) Her strength doesn’t really stop scaling up in the fight.  

Distortion: Can affect the things around them, or the perception of things around them, think Qrow, Pyrrha, or Emerald, Emerald’s being able to create Illusions to distort people’s perception, Pyrrha being able to control magnetism, being able to distort a physical force, and Qrow’s is literally to bring bad luck to everyone and everything around him.

Perception: A new category, though we don’t know of anyone whose semblance fits this category, just yet. A semblance falling under this category means it allows the user to see or detect things that aren’t visible or detectable through their normal senses, so People who have unlocked their Aura can feel Aura around other people, including Aura capacity, and it can be visible in certain situations, and even makes noises when abilities are activated, but it would be unheard of to have the ability to see people’s Aura at all times, including those who have not unlocked their Aura. it doesn’t have to be the whole ability, the perception can just be a side effect gained from their main ability.

Unique: I don’t want to see this category abused, but this is for semblances that are so bizarre, or different that they can easily fit into more than two of the other four categories, or does not easily fit into any of the above categories, I can’t really think of any off the top of my head, but if any of your ideas do fit this category let me know, so I can use them as an example on this sheet. 

Semblance: (Up to three main abilities that are somewhat unique to your character. As long as they aren’t completely overpowered, any abilities are fine, as long as they are related, for instance, Ruby’s main ability is super speed, but in volume 4 she’s also been shown to have the ability to change direction mid-air without the aid of her Cresent Rose. But the more abilities they have the weaker their abilities can become, or the more strenuous their semblance becomes, so they won’t be able to use it for as long.) 

Dust augmentation? (Can their semblance be augmented by the use of Dust to take on elemental properties? And do they take advantage of this? If so, What Dust type do they use? And why? Is this dust used as ammo in their weaponry? If not, where do they store this Dust?)

Physical strength: Yang, or Jaune, Yang can very easily pick up an amp that’s the same size as her, and Jaune finds his own weapon kinda heavy. (Very low/Low/Medium/High/Very high, low or medium being about average strength)

Mental strength: (How susceptible to mental attacks such as illusions are they?So Very low, Low, Medium, High, Very high, very low, to low being average, and only someone who has lots of experience fighting opponents who utilise illusions and mental attacks can have High or Very high mental strength. Or if they ahve a Perception ability can allow them to see through illusions, they may be allowed a medium)

Weapons: (go nuts and get creative, and try to be as specific as you can, details are useful, just saying. Just try to remember that your weapon can’t do everything, and must have it’s situational limits, e.g. Cresent Rose is a powerful scythe, and a great sniper-rifle, but it can’t really be used effectively in scythe form indoors, due to size constraints, unless you’re actively trying to tear up the building you’re standing in, which doesn’t really sound like a good idea, so instead it must be relied on mostly as a ranged weapon in those conditions, which means it could be bad if Ruby ended up in a close-quarters combat situation while indoors, so to put it into perspective, say hypothetically she was up against Yang, and you get my point.)  

Strengths: (for instance, what are their favourable combat conditions, e.g. Ranged combat, or CQC, long fights, or short fights, hot or cold environments, indoors, outdoors, open field, forest, etc.)

Weaknesses: (Characters must always have weaknesses, and yours are no different, what are the unfavourable conditions for your character? Do they struggle against ranged combatants? or CQC? etc.) 

*side note* You must have at least 3 strengths and weaknesses for your character, but the more in depth you describe them and their strengths and weaknesses, the more complete and 3D they’ll be to other people.

What role should they take in a fight truly lets them shine? (Are they a Mobile DPS (Blake), a Tank (Jaune), a Support (Weiss), a Sniper (Ruby), A Heavy DPS (Coco), A bruiser (Yang), a Glass cannon (Velvet), a strategist (Ruby, Jaune) or a role I haven’t mentioned?) 

For appearances of things, such as clothing or weaponry, you can also attach pictures for reference, or if you’re talented enough, you may attach pictures of your characters and their weapons in the appropriate places. 

I think that’s it for now, but I may add more in the future.
