RWBY: Heroes vs. Villains/Characters

Characters in RWBY: Heroes vs. Villains are divided into two sides: Heroes and Villains. All characters that associate with the Heroes are categorized into this side, as does characters associated with the Villains. There are also other categories than just Heroes and Villains. Each Character also have their own amount of Character Cards in order to be unlocked.
Before starting a Battle, a match of Academy Arena, Event or an Academy Raid, players can choose a max of up to six Characters. The first slot is the Leader Slot and should be filled with a Leader Character, as placing a non-Leader in it and then choosing a Leader in the second or subsequent slots, their Leader Trait will not be active. Once choosing six Characters, players will need be able to choose a seventh Character which fills the Ally Slot, borrowed from Friends and fellow Academy Students; if available. If this borrowed Character is a Leader, their Leader Trait will be active, regardless of being in the Ally Slot. However, this Ally selection is only present in Battles and is restricted in all other modes.
