color naming rule Hey guys! I notice that there are fans who love making their own RWBY OC's and OC Teams. I think it's awesome, and if you're going be thinking about an OC Team then you should know the naming rule in RWBY 1. Characters in RWBY must be: . A color Something that sounds like a color . Something that means a color Something that makes you think of a color 2. If that character is on a team, then the first letter of their name must fit in a 4 letter acronym that spells a team name that also must be: . A color Something that sounds like a color Something that means a color Something that makes you think of a color That was the rule that I set for whenever we need to come up with a name in in RWBY. You carn bet there were countless hours in cafes scribbling on the backs of napkins while looking up names scrubbing through thesauri and dictionaries, looking up the color in multiple languages, finding naming sites that could lend meaning to a character in mind. Or researching various histories of names that I wanted and finding a way to give it color Thus all the names in RWBY (Minus Ozpin... for reasons... follow this rule. It was certainly hard when I wanted a certain name, but couldn't give it a color meaning or somehow find a way to make it fit the criteria of being on a certain team. Sometimes I'd have a specific character design in mind and then they would need a color and a team. . Sometimes I'd have only the name and therefore I'd either need it to fit somewhere, or come up with three other names to justify it. But then find even better meaning in other names Sometimes I'd have a team name and look for as many ways to spell said team member or team itself to match . This rule from day one when I started thinking about RWBY set into motion this chaotic series of events where each and every day we found meaning and circumstance for our characters. I embrace this chaos and let it run throughout creating texture while we try to make sense of it. I've seen some RWBY OC's &OC teams that follow the first rule, but don't know about the second. Im putting this out there so that you don't invest in something that isn't accurate to the rule. And I like that you think about these things because I was the same one day, watching someone else's work, dreaming up my own. Setting rules for yourself that are difficult to overcome is hard. But that's why we do it! ps. Someday in the future I will hold a contest for RWBY OC's to be made into RwBY itself, in the meantime let's start small and design more velvet outfits. But even then don't stop

Don't worry, it actually comes on as easy to lay the foundations but harder to make the names complex
Eg: Tanner Gerry
Tangerine

TADAA!
