Alright, here's my idea.
So the exam itself would take place in a large area with a MASSIVE ravine in the middle. The ravine itself is filled with low-level Grimm, but it's still quite dangerous with how many there are. The Hunters, in pairs of two, will have to locate a colored flag and bring it back to the start as a team.
Here's the catch. No one knows where the flags are, and they're scattered at random. There's even some in the ravine for the daring students...
Leo's thought ahead, though, and has some of his hunters - including Topaz's father, Zinc Stone - watching the ravine in case any students get into mortal danger. If they need the help of one of the hunters while they already have their partner, however, they fail instantly.
The pairing-up of the students works the same - it's based on eye-contact.

I'm thinking Topaz and whoever he ends up pairing with - Aryle, Ryan or Olivia - would actually end up finding one of the above-ground flags, but a Grimm attack forces them to go down into the ravine to retrieve their dropped flag, where they'd encounter the other two members of Team TARO who would have been in the ravine for one reason or another, maybe they saw one down there and decided to get what they thought was an easy one. Through teamwork, they manage to make it to the surface with both flags, and from there it's a casual walk back to base.
Team JCDS is out of my control, and as such I'll allow thoughts on what would happen to them to that team. Though they would probably get back before Team TARO.

Like it?

 

[Red Gallade]

I like it, who out of team JCDS wants to be found by/find Sterling when the exam starts?

 

[Generation Sect]

Certainly does sound interesting.

Also, I might not be the only one to suggest Chartreuse and Sterling team up- so that Josh kinda gets suckered into having the two Faunus in his team whether he likes it or not, because he didn’t get too much of a choice in picking them

 

[Generation Sect]

In other news, this structure also gives an opportunity for Napier to show up, which helps move things along plot-wise.
Another thing i wanna comment on-
since the Vytal Festival is biennial, its possible the 39th Vytal Festival could be a plot point. I wanna know your thoughts on the idea, since it'd take a lotta work- but could be great if it pays off.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

Please~! That could be so much fun.

 

[Generation Sect]

See i'm struggling to remember if they actually adressed where it last took place.

 

[Red Gallade]

I'm also wondering what would happen in regards to Sterling's semblance, we'd need to find a good point where we could have a full moon night and in doing so unleash the inner beast within Sterling and show why he has such a reputation within part of Vacuo.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

Doesn't seem like there's a year on the RWBY wiki...
Oh by the way, my post is going to have Zinc Stone, Topaz's father, bringing him into Mistral. Who will be controlling Leo Lionheart? I'll need to know for my post.

 

[Generation Sect]

Hmm... I would just do it myself, unless anyone's actually interested in the position.

Also, i guess i have to choose between it being in Mistral or Atlas then.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

I could go with either, since putting it in Atlas could lead to some interesting plot for our Atlesian huntress~

I'll write my post in such a way that Leo can just be introduced simply.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

Hope that's a good enough intro post~

 

[Generation Sect]

Yeah, i'm gonna have to go with Atlas, for one reason purely
Plot convenience
I figured, not too dissimilar to the actual series, the final confrontation with Robyn comes throughout the festival, and then the final battle of that arc once he's dealt with. if it's in Atlas, we get to see A: Sherrod Nott finally get what he deserves
B: More opportunity for Robyn and Johanna to do their thing
C: An even more epic final confrontation

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

We can also get some expansion on Aryle's story!

 

[Red Gallade]

Maybe Sterling can arrive at the Academy via drop ship or something? Whatever would count as public transport in the RWBY world.

 

[Generation Sect]

That tooooooo~

also, that works Red

but yeah, we're definitely going with Atlas oh boy that's gonna be FUN
i already have my Napier Vs Olive battle theme ready

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

I'd assume with how commonplace they are that'd be the Bullheads, which I had the Stones use in my post. Though it'd probs be a different landing area Sterling comes up to.

 

[Red Gallade]

Either way, I'm not gonna be able to post until tomorrow; it's really late for me.

 

[Generation Sect]

Mkay. Also, believe me, i'm sure we'll get a good full moon moment for Sterling. Speaking of other fights that totally need to happen-
I actually think it should be team JCDS who go up against the White Fang in that arc for the main battle, considering the issues they're DEFINITELY gonna have.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

Yeah, I agree. If we need something for Team TARO to do... well, Sect, perhaps my villain could take care of that~?

 

[Generation Sect]

Idk if he'll be around at that point- Although, i dunno if Robyn and Johanna will split up for that part, with Johanna helping the White Fang, however believe me, there'll be something for them to do once Robyn is down that i'm not gonna spoil nor talk about any more cause its kinda a last second surprise

 

[SailorInSpace]

I'm annoyed. I stopped getting alerts....

 

[Red Gallade]

Sorry my first post isn't as detailed as one might expect, I'm a little tired, but wanted to at least get Sterling into the RP.

 

[SailorInSpace]

I like it, who out of team JCDS wants to be found by/find Sterling when the exam starts?

If no one agreed to see you first, can Chartreuse?
Or maybe she should see the other faunus?

 

[Red Gallade]

I'm into the team up between two Faunus, can you remind me what kind of Faunus Chartreuse is please?

 

[SailorInSpace]

A bull

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Weren't we doing it so that Josh gets duped into being in a team with two faunuses so he's going to meet the other humain in his team first?

 

[Generation Sect]

Yeah, so I think Chartreuse and Sterling would be the first to meet in the exam if that was to happen.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

so is it just a coincidence I always get ads for the fourth RWBY anthology whenever I look at the RP thread on mobile or-

 

[Generation Sect]

THE ROBOTS FIGURED US OUT!

 

[Generation Sect]

Okay so can i get a quick consensus on how everyone's gonna get to the academy?
I'm assuming the remaining four people will be taking the Bullheads, right?

 

[Stormursa]

SORRY! My internet has been weird because I’ve been dealing with snow storms. Got to love winter

 

[Fishykarp]

Can I make the elevator platform start to move, or is there anything specific you’re waiting for?

 

[Generation Sect]

Nah, it can move. I think everyone else is taking the dropships.

 

[SailorInSpace]

I hope my post was long enough

 

[Generation Sect]

It was fine. Anyway, as to how things are gonna go from here on out, I think i’ll just follow a similar schedule to what happened in Beacon in Volume 1.

 

[SailorInSpace]

INB4 one of JCDS teammates is offed at V3, am I right?

 

[Generation Sect]

NO

E-Everything’s fine
Nothing bad happened
Nothing bad ever happened.
Ever.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

I’ll try to get a post up later today or tomorrow, but I do have an assignment to do - expect one or two posts from me each week on Charms RPs.

 

[Red Gallade]

I should also ask: will the Haven students “enter” the exam like the Beacon students did?

 

[Generation Sect]

Hmm... that’s the part i’m still undecided on. I think not, since considering the surrounding terrain of mountains, just YEETING kids around with not much prior warning is a terrible idea.
