Hey guys, good to see you all here. Sorry there is no new Chapter yet, but I have some important news. If you all remember, last summer I started a new story called RWBY: World at War: A Call of Duty Story. Which was a Call of Duty RWBY crossover. Well, I regret to inform all of you that RWBY: World at War will be cancelled.
However, in my Senior year of High School, I am creating a new story for homework. A novella set in RWBY. The story is titled Of Their Own Accord, it is set 10 years before the events of RWBY and depicts the Second World War coming to Remnant. This will be my first story not to show Teams RWBY and JNPR. Only Ozpin, Ironwood, Glynda, and Qrow will make an appearance. Salem may only get a small cameo.
The story will likely be about 13-14 chapters long with a prologue and epilogue included. The events in this story will also affect Remnant as a whole.
Anyway, here is the cast of characters. Many of them are inspired or fictional versions of real-life people who fought in the war.
Note: Not all characters are listed here, just important ones.
