Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Another time period to set an AU in? The 1800s. In the Itano-verse, the timeline is similar in many ways to our world but very different in others. In this time period:
Mantle and Endeavor have long cast off the shackles of their colonial masters. Endeavour is a sub-kingdom that was established...

The Arc farmhouse in Radian smelled of fresh bread and woodsmoke, the kind of homey warmth that made the world's chaos feel far away. The living room was cozy—overstuffed couches, family photos on the mantel, a fire crackling low in...
Random Arkos thought:
My thought was that Athena Nikos offends Nana Arturia so badly, Arturia declares the Nikos family is persona non grata to all Arcs! And so Jaune relating to Pyrrha is now... Forbidden! He defies his family to stay with her! And he gets more and more stubborn as his family...
Found these on Reddit and thought they were cute:

It was Jaune Arc’s sixteenth birthday, a milestone marked with a lively party at the family farm. Cake, streamers, and games filled the air with joy, thanks to the efforts of his sisters, his dad Nick, and friends Katy and Mercer. But the absence of his mother, Isabel, cast a shadow over the...
Oh yeah, it's utter swill and Jaune will not be able to stop judging Qrow for his taste in liquors when they meet.
Jaune: "If you're going to drink out of depression, at least have some self respect!"
Threadmarks: Woe Be Jaune Arc of the Iron Liver (VERY Rough)
The RWBY dorm common room had been commandeered for "team bonding"—Nora's code for smuggling in a bottle of Hunter-grade Mistralian firewhiskey she'd "borrowed" from a senior's stash. Yang had contributed a flask of something even stronger, grinning like she'd won a bet.
"Time to bond like...

I did have another idea, wherein Jaune Arc, since he's basically French, grew up drinking booze since he was a kid. Isabel is the world's best doctor so she signed off on it.
This means he can hold his liquor, and the rest of RWBY/JNPR can't. So he has to be the responsible adult when, after a...
In any event, some more plot bunnies!

The RWBY dorm room door was barely visible behind a towering, four-foot pile of bouquets, their vibrant colors clashing in a chaotic explosion of roses, lilies, and tulips. The scent of pollen hung heavy in the air, making Weiss Schnee sneeze as she stood in the hallway, her ice-blue eyes...
