Just popping by to say that this is the best Team thread intro I've ever witnessed and I love it to bits.

Well Yona needs a team. Shadow summoning caster. Protective and kind

Well I do have one (living) student, so why not. Drevin Srebra's kind of an edge lord, but he's a speed demon if ever you saw one. He's a good scout because he's stealthy and he's fast. His profile is pretty simplistic if you want more detail.

Okay gotta agree with Natendo here, this is a really really well-organized thread I mean like shiiiiiiit. Back in my day they were just composed of a slightly awkward greeting meant to sound cool, stating the obvious that they're looking for a team because they have a new character, and a 'not first come first serve' thing that wasn't true 50% of the time because people got tired of waiting, all in very, very casual speech.

But seriously, props to you.

Thanks for having Drevin join up! It seems our lil' family is just full of trauma and dysfunction -- all the better for plots later on! Now all we need is a fearless leader to unite our not-so-merry pack of misfits and we're all set. ^_^

And thanks for the compliment Mythic (and Nathan)! I've helped run forums in the past so I guess the impulse to keep the recruiting thread organized comes from that. I'm glad you both think so highly of it! xD

If you want someone who's fearless, look no further than Chris "The Tiger" Sebei. His natural confidence and ability to improvise means he is suited well for a leadership position. He gets up close and personal, and can use his skillset to allow his teammates' fighting styles to thrive. His natural charisma would be a good off-set for the personalities of the other characters.

Post by: Riven on July 03, 2017, 11:49:54 AM
Excellent! Thanks for applying -- we now have a pretty robust and well-rounded roster. I really look forward to fighting alongside you all!

Now, team name... CYDR could give us 'Cedar' (like the tree) or 'Cider' (like the drink), but those seem a tad bit... underwhelming. What do you all think about going with YDRC to give us 'Yggdrasil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil)'?
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Vision on July 03, 2017, 02:05:33 PM
Riven just coming in and showing up everyone :D

Awesome that you guys got a team together so quickly, once you all agree on a name you will need to think of a color that fits said name, though with the world tree as the basis you'll have quite a few options.

Good luck guys ^^
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Mikelobmike on July 03, 2017, 06:09:51 PM
Another option for the name is BRSS, or team Brass.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on July 03, 2017, 06:31:55 PM
True, good point. That one even has our color option built in as well.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Viventium Umbra on July 04, 2017, 01:01:38 AM
I do really like Yggdrasil, but I'm kind of a sucker for things that sound big and ancient. We could definitely do Cider if we were going for a more reserved team that isn't trying to be anything super important.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Sank180 on July 05, 2017, 10:05:27 AM
i agree with umbra with ygg or cider
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on July 05, 2017, 11:07:47 AM
Hmm... okay, so it looks like we've got a tie between CYDR "Cider" and YDRC "Yggdrasil". I can see both working out pretty well honestly; YDRC is kinda epic but doesn't have an obvious color tie-in, whereas CYDR is simple and strong with a clear color connection.

Mikelobmike, can I ask you to cast the deciding vote? I'm kinda torn on this, honestly, and it seems appropriate that our team leader picks the name.

Side note: Yea or nay on an initiation event? Cast your votes teammates.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Viventium Umbra on July 05, 2017, 11:15:53 AM
Yea on initiation event here.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Sank180 on July 05, 2017, 11:21:20 AM
yes initiation and i think cider actually makes more sense cause the leader's letter should be 1st and Cider allows us to have C first instead of Y
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Mikelobmike on July 05, 2017, 02:40:05 PM
I think Cider is the better of those two.

And I'm down for an initiation event.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on July 05, 2017, 04:25:30 PM
TEAM CIDER it is, then!  ;D
(BTW, if we don't have at least one thread where the team ends up sitting around, drinking cider and telling stories, I'mma be disappoint. Just sayin'. xD)

How's this for our team color: #a95726 Tried to get as close a match to actual cider color as I could with reference pics.

looks good
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Viventium Umbra on July 07, 2017, 12:44:39 AM
I can dig it, and I probably wouldn't be able to find anything better myself if I felt inclined to look.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Viventium Umbra on July 17, 2017, 01:14:18 AM
Sorry I disappeared for a while, work was busy. Mikel, you still there? I think we're waiting on you.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Mikelobmike on July 17, 2017, 07:28:38 AM
Oh. Cool. The color looks fine. I didn't really have a strong opinion on it.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on July 17, 2017, 04:10:20 PM
Ok, so... jjb2158 has agreed to set up our team initiation, however he's unavailable this week so it'll begin sometime next week. Does anyone have any requests / ideas for the event?
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Viventium Umbra on July 17, 2017, 09:37:33 PM
Um, sorry to say it, but I'll be unable to access the internet for two weeks starting on the 22nd, so I might be a little bit late on that whole initiation thing. Feel free to start without me though, you can just assume Drevin is doing something edgy in the treetops like not wanting to make friends or thinking about his "tragic" backstory.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Sank180 on July 23, 2017, 11:53:34 PM
kk

Post by: Riven on August 04, 2017, 09:10:33 AM
Hey all, wanted to check in and let you know that the initiation event is still gonna happen. Mike and I talked it over last night and we've decided to go ahead and run one ourselves with me GMing, so if you have any requests or ideas let me know. With some luck, I might have the basics sorted and a thread up by the end of the day.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Sank180 on August 07, 2017, 03:49:34 PM
hey back sorry had some computer issues
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on August 07, 2017, 05:16:59 PM
Welcome back, and sorry to hear about the computer issues. Your timing's good, in any case -- I'm working on the start to our initiation and should have it up tonight.

EDIT[: Initiation thread is up! (http://rwby-rpg.rwbyfanon.com/index.php/topic,1102.0.html)
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Viventium Umbra on August 07, 2017, 11:50:55 PM
Well it seems I came back around the perfect time!
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on August 20, 2017, 03:20:14 PM
...Okay, I really hate to do this -- not least because she seems like a cool person -- but I'm worried Sank may have disappeared or simply not be active right now. I think we need to open her spot up for a new applicant. All in favor?

(Please come back Sank... :'( )
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Viventium Umbra on August 20, 2017, 03:42:44 PM
I'll contact Sank in person, we're friends irl.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on August 20, 2017, 08:48:25 PM
Yes, please do! Thanks for that.
Title: Re: {Complete} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on September 01, 2017, 09:36:40 AM
Okay, at this point it doesn't seem that Sank is coming back, which really is unfortunate. I'm going to edit the first post and open up her spot so we can get the initiation thread rolling again.
Title: Re: {Re-Opened} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: MonsterManic on September 01, 2017, 09:52:42 AM
You would have to change the name (which is unfortunate) but I'll enter Graham Dylandy for the open spot. He's a heavy-hitting sword fighter with experience under his belt, but he's got a interesting reason for being in Beacon in the first place.
Title: Re: {Re-Opened} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on September 01, 2017, 10:40:57 AM
Kinda figured the name would have to change, honestly -- it is what it is. Welcome to the team!

Alright, working on the name now... anyone got a good one for CDGR? Best I can work out at the moment is "(something)gear".
Title: Re: {Re-Opened} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: MonsterManic on September 01, 2017, 11:08:26 AM
This is actually the hardest combination to come up with a name.

Best I can come up with is RSGS (Resurgence) but there's no color reference to it. Nor is the leader's initials in the front. Annoying.
Title: Re: {Re-Opened} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Vision on September 01, 2017, 03:37:08 PM
Always a fun challenge, though pretty limited with options for leaders initial being first (Though that isn't an established rule)

Best I can come up with so far is Grass (GRSS)
Graham Dylandy, Rory Vogel, Chris Sebei, Drevin Srebra


There are options for "CD - gear" but few that make much sense (Code- Card- Cloud-)
Title: Re: {Re-Opened} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Kingnoname1 on September 01, 2017, 04:12:15 PM
Got to wage cuck soon so Ill only post a few

Keeping the first letter C or S for your leader I've got;
SSGR(Sangoire) technically a fictional shade of red which is so saturated it is almost black.
SSGR(Sangria) dark slightly purplish red
CDDR(Cedar) like the tree
CDDR(Cheddar) like the cheese
CDDR{Cinder) like the hot lady

Randomised letters because naming conventions are for nerds
DDSR(Desire) which I think would be funny in a purely male team
Title: Re: {Re-Opened} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on September 02, 2017, 08:29:49 AM
Whoo-hoo! King for the save! That's a great list to work from -- thanks for doing that!

I kinda like Sangoire, actually. Given that the team lead's color is black and we now have two characters rocking shades of red it does have a certain thematic fit. We could also go with Cedar and keep our original color scheme, though that's not too big of a deal either way.

Team, your thoughts?
Title: Re: {Re-Opened} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: MonsterManic on September 02, 2017, 09:54:23 AM
Aye, sounds good--amazing, even--doffing my cap to King. Sangoire's got my vote.
Title: Re: {CLOSED} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Viventium Umbra on September 05, 2017, 12:00:26 AM
I do like Sangoire.
Title: Re: {CLOSED} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on September 05, 2017, 07:51:59 AM
Sounds like we have a majority vote, then! ;D

I'll go ahead and get the necessary adjustments made in the Teams roster and the initiation thread -- with any luck we can get that back up an rolling in short order. As for team color, how does #180000 look?
Title: Re: {CLOSED} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: MonsterManic on September 05, 2017, 08:25:59 AM
Looks good.

You guys had a initiation planned, it seems--I'll go with the flow on this one.
Title: Re: {CLOSED} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on September 05, 2017, 09:35:04 AM
Thanks, MM, appreciate that.  :D

Initiation thread's been tweaked and stands ready for action. I think Mike had expressed a desire to post last, so you can go ahead and jump in if you want Monster.
Title: Re: {CLOSED} In search of team -- apply within
Post by: Riven on October 22, 2017, 05:30:19 PM
Due to inactivity, I'm accepting an offer to have Rory transfer to team VCVS. Sorry this effort didn't pan out, and thanks to those who put in time and effort on it.

Viventium Umbra, I know you'd expressed some enthusiasm about the initiation thread, so if you'd like me to run that scenario for a team you're on at any point just let me know, ok?
