As for the time setting of the RPG, I'm imagining the start of RWBY and JPNR's second year at Beacon (after volume 3 at least since that's already been planned out as far as story outline goes). The tutorial, if you chose teams RWBY or JPNR, would start with the ending of the previous volume released (probably a fight scene) then go on and teach you the ropes about going to school in game through the first day of the second year, when also that day is the main storyline introduced.

The tutorial, for a OC team, would start with your characters arriving to school the first day, learning some of the ropes then but also getting some early connections going between your four characters and their other classmates. A first save would happen during the sleep over that night, then the combat tutorial is learned during the initiation as you get partners together, survive the forest, all chose the same symbol, and make it back. Then your team is announced with your (or a random) team name and the character you choose as the leader. Then the first official day of school truly shows you the class ropes and the main storyline is either introduced that day or the day before.
