AN:
So here is the new updated codex. Hope you like it.
Now this next part is IMPORTANT.
Some of you have been asking me to add in either Terrans, Protoss or both into the world of RWBY, either as a displaced OC or a large group/army.
However, these were just some readers that asked, now what I'm asking from the rest of you is:
Would you like to see Terrans or Protoss in my story?
Comment or PM me on your vote whether or not you would like to see more of the other races on Remnant, the voting will last until the next chapter is out.
HOWEVER, if majority of you say YES to Terrans and Protoss on Remnant, here is the catch. I decide on my own OC's or whether or not a single person or an entire army comes to Remnant.
If you're wondering, why I'm hesitant on putting Terran or Protoss OC's or armies in my story, this is why:
I've read many Fanfics that tries to juggle multiple OC's in and out of the canon storyline. Many of the fanfics I read soon made these OC's into background characters with bland, stereotypical and boring character development to the point that the author gives up on them or even the story.
As for those fanfics that actually succeeded the authors are masters at what they do and I'm sure even they have some trouble with new OC's.
What I'm afraid is that I have already have a plan for my story, and by adding OC's I'm afraid I make that OC bland, boring and stereotypical for you readers and drive this OC into a wall of no return.
However, as you're reading this I'm already making plans to avoid this and for the arrival and roles of potential new OC's if the votes say yes.
Thank you for those who understand and I'm working on the latest chapter.
