Devourer of Worlds - A Lavos Spawn Quest | (Chrono Trigger x RWBY Crossover) (AU Elements)

i meant more the betrayal of being lied to (or the closest obsidian can approximate) especially Blake we might lose major trust from Weiss and yang at least
RWBY-P already know that Obsidian only gives out information that is either immediately relevant or she was asked for. Hell, Penny even adopted that behaviour herself.
Additionally, right at the beginning we told them that we would hold back certain things about us that might risk their sanity, e.g. our true power level.
I doubt they'll see not being told about Lavos' emergence earlier as a betrayal, just as another sign how inhuman we are.

I forget, do the team know the heroes fought Lavos? If so they probably assume there must have been a good reason, and that Lavos wasn't much like Obsidian.

I dont think they do. They were told a lot about their adventures but I think we never told them (and they never asked) what the final challenge of the heroes was.
 
obsidian has been EXPLICITLY not telling them that or that he even can be hurt by them let alone other humans.

No?
We told them that Lavos saw the world through his Arbiter Queen Zeal's perspective and in consequence considered humans insignificant, wiping the kingdom off the map.
We shared the Dream of Janus with Blake, including his desire to summon and kill Lavos.
We haven't been "explicitly not telling them" that Lavos s a monster, there just never was a need to elaborate.

it was inevitable that those desires would bleed through from magus (for that is his name he cast of his old one until he spoke to schala as the dream devourer where he decided to STOP EXISTING) because he wouldn't be him without those desires. EDIT: they simply make up too much of his identity for it to not be so they are his Reason for living.

That doesn't invalidate what I said. It was Obsidian's deliberate choice to share that Dream in the first place.

As to the name change - you do remember that a large part of that Dream were his memories from his time as prince Janus, right? Even the vote itself referred to it as "Dream of Janus".

But it was also blakes to accept wasn't it

I failed to realize this but your very right does this mean blake channels his fresh anger and rage at lavos whenever she calls upon that dream the loss of a small child and all he knows and loves with only directionless anger? but blake also suppresses the darker memories I suppose along with those desires for revenge on lavos after mountain glenn and the decision to stay with her friends than listen to janus.

how old is magus any way I assumed he was 23-45 from his stature and inability to be recognized by his own sister when looking right at his face. Edit Could be really good hair dye loreal your worth it.

Mod Edit: Posts Merged

Do not double-post, condense all of your replies into one post please.
 
His point is if you have an idea you want to share but you are still the last person who posted. Edit your post rather than double post.
 
lives in what seems to be the birthplace of the Grimm
There's no mystical pools of condensed evil and goodness
Considering the Grimm were held to be Evil Incarnate even in early RWBY, I think it was just a logical assumption that the black pools of a tar like substance they were born from were mystical pools of condensed evil :p

I think the biggest issue with the brother gods is that they are too Star Wars-esque: Light is Serenity to its extreme (and thus utterly inhuman [his handling of Salem is more than enough proof of that]), while Darkness is Passion/Emotion Incarnate, which makes for a very flat character (his easily manipulative ego and child tantrum likewise provides all the evidence needed). The writers should have stayed away from the new (now middle) trilogy, when they were writing up the gods lol.

More seriously, obviously this is just my opinion, but both gods are flat in a way that really emphasizes this light/dark dynamic. That they decided to go divine for the origins of Remnant isn't that strange, considering Aura and Dust (neither of which makes sense on a normal physics scale), but whether they went inhuman or human for the gods, I wish they had actually put some effort into it.

Edit: thanks for all of the updates. I forgot about this for a bit, and then it hit me that I hadn't checked it in a while. One or two things seemed off to me. Need to reread the newer updates again. Do you mind if I ask a question about updates made in May or June?

Go for it. In general, I enjoy being engaged over chapters.

I actually really dislike the Star Wars interpretation of spiritual Light and Dark because they're the exact opposite of how Yin and Yang work. It's the Dark (Yin) god that should be serene (and feminine, if we put in as much Yin as possible), while the Light (Yang) god should be passionate about things. Though, I'm pretty sure they don't have any of their opposite within themselves, so lack any balance needed to not be immature tantrum gods, so that still works.
 
Ying and Yang show shards of the opposite in them, but if the shard is missing in both, they are still balanced.
...

Not sure where I was heading with that...

If they're missing the shards of the other, then they're no longer in balance, because now they're contrasting opposites instead of complementary opposites.
 
I'd say that their story is a warning against creating life without any purpose of quite literally leads only to misery.
 
Or that powerful people who don't have have live with the consequences of anything can't be trusted to render sane judgement.

I believe you were attempting to argue that they would be balanced against each other, but I was making an argument that they would not be balanced within themselves. Even if it is only a tiny amount of the opposite, Yin is only complete with some Yang in it, and Yang with some Yin.

And now that sounds vaguely dirty in my head considering one of my RWBY OCs is named Yin. Why did I just do that to myself.

Well I didn't have the idea until I posted did I.

Yeah, don't want the mods mad at you. They don't like double or triple posting.
I'd just like to direct you all to the Rules; you'll find that we don't actually explicitly forbid doubleposting anywhere. Generally we overlook this sort of thing, much less infract it, barring truly egregious spamming. Nevertheless, consolidating your thoughts in one post wherever possible is a reasonable courtesy to expect, so I would personally advise @Ultimate battler to consider this going forward!

Not really. A big part of the taijitu, the symbol of yin and yang, is that it is a representation of compliments. The reason they are in a magatama shape with the eyes being opposite colors is a reflection of the idea of how, even though black and white are diametrically opposed, they are actually directly complimentary and cannot be complete without the other.
