Welcome to a World of New Solutions (A RWBY AU quest)

Reader mode
Something has come to my attention. Yesterday, I failed to give you any information on our potential POV characters except for their theme colors. That was probably a mistake.

So to make for that mistake, I'm going to tell you the names of each potential protag! Granted, this doesn't need to affect your votes in any way, I just think this will be helpful to the people who haven't totally decided yet. Let's roll em!

Azure Douglas

Rom Barone-Lux

Ollie Baum

Ray Sonnen

Cedric Voss

Forest Lux

Indie Siegal

Lapis Jiang

I will repeat, this is just for fun, and to help you learn a bit more about our new characters. Read as much or as little into it as you'd like!
 
Time for a tally, I think!

Post-Tally edit: Well, ain't this interesting? I'll keep votes open until... 11 AM EST tomorrow.

It might be you forgot to tick the 'newest votes only' (or whatever it's called) box?

Otherwise I got nothing...

    [X] Lilac

    Protagonist: Indie Siegal, 17 years old, about to be a freshman at Beacon.

    You're stunned by the view. Even after you've learned what to expect, it's still impressive. You can't make out any familiar people from up this high, all you see is people-colored ants. It's... incredible.

    OH WOW, THIS VIEW IS AMAZING!, comes the mental screech from the honey-blonde girl near you. She's had that smile on her face for... almost the entire trip. How can she smile for that long?

    I wonder if I can see home from here? she thinks, unaware that someone's (only semi-voluntarily) peering into her thoughts.

    You're starting to think you should ask her to move away so that you don't have to listen to her inner monologue of excitedness. ...Is excitedness a word?

    Before you can, the news channel on nearby-talking about something to with the White Fang, you think?- cuts out, and is replaced by a professional-looking woman.

    "Hello, and welcome to Beacon!" she says.

    I feel like I recognize her... From where?

    "My name is Glynda Goodwitch." You think you recognize that name yourself. Maybe one of Mom's Huntsman friends brought her up once?

    "You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." The hologram of Goodwitch disappears, and, a minute later, is replaced with a cereal commercial.

    You can hear people start rushing to the windows, and that's... your cue to leave. You back up as fast as you can, attempting to get to the place farthest away from other students. You're not up for hearing any more screechy thoughts right now.

    You find a relatively unnoticed corner and situate yourself there. You still have a good view of outside the Airship, right now you've started passing over sea.

    It's peaceful. You like it.

    "Hey, why'd you leave?" Oh no. It's the girl again. She's looking at you with her amber eyes, acting like she's curious. She probably is.

    [] Write-in response
    So, Indie here has a Semblance which allows her to hear the thoughts of everyone 3 feet or less from her. She's also grown kinda cynical from that semblance both alienating her and showing her that people in general are dishonest and cruel at their worsts. ...Have fun, SV!

    • [x] Listen to the most plausible explanation going through her head and confirm it, hoping that she'll lose interest and go away.

    I really hope we become partners so that way we can screw around with her head 24/7
