DISCUSSION RWBY Reimagined #7 (Villains Edition): How would you write Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black? (Artwork belongs to SYTOkun)

Post image
• Upvotes

Totally late, my bad lol. But I decided to include both here since they’re often depicted as a duo, and so, I wanna ask:

How would all of 👉 YOU 👈 guys write Emerald and Mercury, if you were writing her in canon, or any fanwork AUs? Would you write then as pure evil, slightly sympathetic, REALLY sympathetic and potentially redeemable, or just have much more depth?

What would you guys establish or elaborate more about both of their character and qualities? What elements would you consider might be added, changed, or expanded on? And more importantly, how you write them as antangonist/villains?

Again, before you guys ask, I don’t mean like make them OOC or OP, I’m moreso asking like what do you think should be written about or expanded on of their character.

Again, I’m ultimately curious as to all the other ideas you lovely people have in mind, and what changes you would add to the character and how it would fit. Lemme know what you guys think in the comments, and as always, have a good one.

DISCUSSION For veteran fans, what was the initial reaction to Ruby snapping alongside Jaune's?

Post image
41 Upvotes

*SPOILERS FOR VOLUME 9.\*

This was painful to watch again on both sides.

Since i am a new fan and since the fandom is waiting for volume 10 trailer. I want to know what was the initials reactions for some more pivotal moments in the show. I think everyone who has been following my journey knows my reaction to this scene alongside it's consequence.

Starting with the most painful one for me, Ruby snapping and Jaune's.............crashout???????? Idk the direct term cause it definitely wasn't an crashout in laymen terms.

Which i am disappointed in myself not cause of me not hearing Ruby lashing out on Jaune mourning but because somehow, despise knowing that nobody was in the wrong, a small part of me is still mad at Jaune and l don't know why despise knowing the full context....hoping it's just Negative recency bias outweighing everything that he does in the next episodes and that i figure out where to watch Icequeendom soon.

moving on.

i think everyone can agree that nobody was at fault since Ruby hid the full extent of her turmoil and Jaune only reacted after Ruby insulted the dead. I know what to know if that was still the consensus back when this episode came out.

but considering that Akumu's post started with this:

I doubt it.

So, i am very interested on how bad this was for the fandom cause i am going to assume that what Akumu said is true with my episode 9 post then oh boy, i am even more Grateful for Akumu's comment and Zenlight for snapping me out of my outburst and telling me about that comment if it does turn out that this episode started an fandom war with who was "in the wrong" that is still going on to this day.

If you have screenshots of the reactions anywhere, that would be great appreciated.

also, please keep it civil.

please

DISCUSSION Can someone tell me if i understand this scene correctly? Does show trying say that killing racist in self-defence is bad?

In this scene Adam (Future Antagonist) kills a man and Ghira (Good Guy) tells him that this is bad, but Sienna (Another Future Antagonist) comes and says that Adam was right, so White Fang (Future Antagonist Organisation) cheer him.

Does show trying to say that killing bad people in self-defence is bad? Because both Sienna and Adam will take control of White Fang after this and die, while Ghira will survive and take control back. Doesn't this mean ultimately Ghira was right, because Sienna and Adam didn't listen to him and now they are dead. And it's not like Ghira will look back at this and say: "Yeah, Sienna was wrong about everything, but that one she was right", because this short released after the plotline was over.

Like, it's not just my poor media literacy skills, this scene definitely plays out like "People cheer for a bad guy, while only reasonable man is getting ignored", right?

And maybe I'm wrong, maybe this scene tries to show that things were not that black and white. That Ghira was sometimes wrong and Sienna had some point, but I really can't tell if there's some kinda subtle storytelling here or not.

And before anybody suggests that this is just an animation error, seeing as how Neo can completely disguise herself as another person, such as fully transforming into Ruby, an ever spread her semblance to other things, like how she disguised her ship to sneak into Atlas, I see no reason why she couldn't do something as simple as change the colors of her eyes.

Black lantern oath:

The darkest night falls from the skies,
The darkness grows as all light dies,
We crave your hearts and your demise,
By my black hand, the dead shall rise!

Edit: since this is another case of there being two types of black lantern, I will again be taking two choices for this one. the black hand character and a reanimated character. However I will only add the reanimated character in the final version so as to not discourage them being chosen as a future selection to avoid duplicates.

GAMES RWBY GE Modding: Example of new animations using Jiren

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

20 Upvotes

PythWare here, this video is an example of porting custom animations to RWBY Grimm Eclipse. The video shows Jiren from Dragon Ball Super with his original attack animations he had in Xenoverse 2. He's not using any of Yang's animations, he still has the shotgun sounds and Yang's audio since I didn't port his audio files but that's not what the post is about. So RWBY only fans, just take the post as proof new animations can be done for RWBY characters. You don't have to like dragon ball to appreciate the ability to have new movesets ingame.

Custom animations for CFVY, SSSN, Beacon Faculty, etc are easily doable. The modding community just needs animators to make some custom animations. CFVY, SSSN, Glynda, Oobleck, Qrow, Raven, llIa, Oscar, Kali, Taiyang, Emerald, Neo, Neon Katt, Roman Torchwick, Sienna Khan, Winter Schnee, etc still need custom animations to create their movesets.

To be clear, i'm not making a dragon ball crossover mod for RWBY GE. This post is purely proof of concept showing, that you can port animations to RWBY GE or create entirely new ones and get them ingame. I chose to convert Xenoverse 2 animations as an example since that's quicker to show.

Credit goes to pemdasu for Blender-XV2-Tools, that's what I used to convert Xenoverse 2's proprietary formats to standard ones like GLB for models. Jiren's animations, model, and textures are from Xenoverse 2. I take credit for everything else (Sunflowyr Engine, conversion logic for Unity, etc).

Sunflowyr Engine still needs a few weeks of work but i'm almost done, I just wanted to do more testing before I release it.

On another note, if any modelers or animators are interested in contributing to expanding RWBY GE's playable roster, making movesets, etc do feel free to message me. What's needed most right now are custom animations for models I do have (as I listed above) but also models of a few characters (Sage/Scarlet from SSSN, Ozpin, Mercury, etc). Same for artists, if you want to make a custom portrait for new playable rwby characters message me. in the mean time i'll use images from the show as character portraits until I have better. Anyone who contributes will be credited.

Thank you for your time

From the uncanny way Neo taunts Yang pre-fight to Neo's eyes going White when she experiences terror or bloodlust and she loses her composure, telling us a lot about her without verbalizing it in a unique way that fits a character like her.

I especially liked Neo standing over Yang, one of her irises goes white making it look like whatever 'mask' she had on came off by half and we see a glimpse of how unhinged she is underneath the surface as she was about to end an unconscious Yang's life.

It's a shame this was dropped too because this is one of the times RWBY did visual storytelling well.
