@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa Ren and Nora's goals also came ONLY after Beacon fell. During Beacon, these two did nothing.
During Beacon, Team RWBY were fighting Roman and Neo, fighting in Mountain Glenn, solving their internal problems (most of all Blake and Weiss.)
@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa Ruby wanted to be a hero since Volume 1.
Yang wanted to find her mother since Volume 2.
Blake has been fighting against radicalism since volume 1.
All of them has a goal of found family since volume 1.
@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa And all of them also have one goal: found family that the four have them can enjoy and be happy with, while also fighting against the forces of evil. And maybe unity in diversity too.
@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa Yang: Find mother and understand why she left, protect her friends and family, overcome her childhood trauma, and recent trauma (arm got cut off)
@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa Ruby: be a good hero (Superman/Spider-man style), find out about her mother, fight forces of evil (Salem), learn about her legacy (silver eyes)
Blake: Escape her dark past, fight against racial inequality and radicalism (White Fang, Adam)
@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa So now you're changing the goal posts to "if their stories are good or not"? After you realised that Ren and have no stories?
Hah.
@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa Sure, you can add goals and personalities, but this brings me back to 'why' people write stories of Blake more than they write stories of Ren.
@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa Blake isn't limited to White Fang either. She has her emotional engine which is seperate from the White Fang (i.e her desire for a new life away from her dark past)
And Open-ended doesn't equal potential, it can also be... empty.
@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa If Blake also travels then she has potential too, especially with her White Fang past and heritage. She has even more potential than Ren and Nora because she actually has a narrative engine by herself (White Fang).
@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa Like I said, there's a reason why authors prefer Open-wound character like Team RWBY instead of whatever makes Ren and Nora.
@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa >Fanfics are based upon personal opinion and storytelling of the author
And real stories are also based on the author.
Admit it, a single member of Team RWBY have more potential than Ren and Nora combined.
@Psyman2113@YoungKaiser3@Kamelaasa You really think "change = potential"?
Please, characters Superman don't change throughout most of his stories and he has great story potential.
Besides, Team RWBY have changed. Weiss literally changed in Volume 1.
