Preevious Competition here.

Welcome to the RWBY (Canon) Wikia's Monthly OC Competition. This is a friendly competition where different users post a complete OC using the given Template, before a specific deadline, usually about 10 days after the competition begins. The key thing here is Themes, which the OCs must follow. It can be simple things like "Wolf Faunus", or less simple things like "Natural Disasters".

Description of the Competition:

1-The competition (normally) begins at the beginning of every month.

2-The last complete OC you post is the one that will be judged.

3-Anons can participate, but it's usually better to make an account, since anons cannot edit their posts.

4-Whoever gets the most points wins. Winner gets bragging rights and gets to choose the next competition's Theme. If they want they can leave the Judging to someone else, or pick the theme democratically (asking the others).

Theme of the Month: EXOTIC CATS. For example: Pumas, lions, panthers....basically, any cat that isn't the domestic everyday cat (except the Sphynx/Hairless Cat. Those things are alien enough to count by my standards).

Rules of the Competition:

1-OCs must abide by the established and known Canon of RWBY. This means:

a) Color Naming Rule unless the OC's from before/during the Great War 80 years before the show. (CNR means the OC's first name, or first-and-last names combined, must be at least 1 of these: 1) A color in some language (Blake=Black), 2) Makes people think of a color (Ruby > Red), 3) Sounds like a color (Cyril Ian = Cerulean), 4) Means a color directly or indirectly (Glynda > Fair skinned > White).

b) No Half-Grimm (paradoxical and impossible).

c) No Androids with Aura (Penny's unique so far).

d) No "has no Aura" or "multiple Semblances (Everyone has Aura, even if locked, and only 1 Semblance per person).

2-No ripping-off characters from other fictional works. This means, no using Naruto, Goku, Sonic the Hedgehog, etc. You can make a character similar to them, but not those characters in themselves.

3-Characters must not be directly affiliated with the canon cast, at least the main cast. This means that, for example: "OC goes to Beacon" is fine, "OC has heard about Ruby" is fine, "OC is BFF with Ruby" is Not Fine.

4'''-You can use characters, weapons and Semblances made in the respective threads here elsewhere. '''You can link to the weapons and semblances if you want (note: Anons cannot add links), but the character itself must be posted here (since the OC Making thread uses a different Template).

However, you cannot use weapons/characters/semblances posted in the last 2 months.

5-'''Using someone else's creations is allowed O.N.L.Y if they give permission publicly. If they don't, any points for the respective creation are made invalid.''' (Note: Receiving advice and ideas from someone else is perfectly valid).

6-First time, maybe second time, Entrants, should they score 70 points or less, will be given an extra 10 points to "make things fair" against the "veterans". But don't expect to win through that alone.
