Some concepts might involve the relationship between the ancient technology and the Dust in RWBY. Maybe the ancient technology was designed to work with Dust in a more efficient way. Or perhaps it has the power to control or manipulate Dust in ways that are currently unknown. This could lead to new plot developments and power struggles within the RWBY universe.
One interesting concept could be advanced weaponry modifications. For example, in some fanfictions, Ruby's Crescent Rose might have new features like an energy - powered sniper mode. Another could be the development of Dust - based technology in ways not shown in the original series, like using Dust to create force fields or advanced transportation systems.
Well, a plot could be centered around an ancient tech that was hidden away because it was too powerful. The characters accidentally stumble upon it. For example, it could be a technology that can open portals to other dimensions. They then have to deal with the consequences of opening these portals, like new and dangerous enemies coming through. Also, the fanfic could explore how this ancient technology was created in the first place. Was it made by the same people who created the Dust? Or was it from an even more ancient civilization?
One interesting concept could be the expansion of character backstories. For example, delving deeper into Ruby's early days of training before Beacon Academy. Another might be exploring new Grimm species that are more powerful and have unique abilities. Also, the relationships between characters can be further developed, like the friendship between Weiss and Blake, showing their interactions outside of the main plot.
One interesting concept could be the unique team formations. In RWBY, teams are crucial, and in a wargaming fanfic, it might explore different combinations of characters for strategic battles. For example, mixing the combat styles of Ruby's speed with Weiss's glyphs in new and unexpected ways.
One interesting concept could be exploring the backstories of minor characters in the RWBY game universe. For example, delving into the past of a random hunter or Grimm. Another could be alternate timelines where different events occur, like if a major character had made a different choice during a crucial battle. Also, fanfics might focus on the relationships between characters in more depth, such as the unspoken bond between teammates that wasn't fully explored in the game.
One interesting concept could be the change in character dynamics. For example, if Ruby was male, his relationship with Weiss might have a different flavor. Maybe he'd be more brash in his approach to her initially. Another concept could be the way they fight. A male Ruby might have a different fighting style, perhaps more strength - based rather than relying on speed as much as the female Ruby. Also, the male versions of the characters could have different in - group relationships, like a male Blake might be more of a leader among the group in some interpretations.
In 'rwby psychological fanfic', the concept of fear and how it affects the characters is quite engaging. Characters like Weiss, who has to overcome her family's expectations and her own insecurities. Fanfics might explore how she copes with these fears on a psychological level. Another aspect could be the psychological impact of the Grimm on the characters' minds.
Well, the idea of combining RWBY with the concept of 'Exalted' can bring some cool stuff. There might be interesting takes on the Dust usage. In the original RWBY, Dust is used in a certain way, but in the fanfic, with the Exalted element, it could be used in more magical and powerful ways. For instance, a character exalted might be able to transmute Dust into different forms or use it to perform spells that are not possible in the normal RWBY world. And then there's the matter of the Grimm. They could be presented in a different light, perhaps more menacing or having new abilities due to the changes brought about by the Exalted aspect of the fanfic. Plus, the fanfic could explore different cultural aspects within the RWBY world that are affected by the Exalted concept, like how different kingdoms view and interact with those who are exalted.
One interesting concept could be alternate versions of the main characters. For example, a fanfic might explore a version of Ruby where she didn't become a Huntress but instead pursued a career in weapon design. Another concept could be different relationships between the characters. Maybe in a certain multiverse, Weiss and Blake are closer friends than in the original. And also, the exploration of different Dust properties and how they affect the multiverse can be really engaging.
Well, the appearance changes are quite cool. The female characters when turned male might have different hairstyles or clothing styles that are more masculine yet still retain some elements of their original design. And the personalities can be tweaked too. Maybe a normally shy female character as a male could be more bold and assertive in a different way. It gives a fresh perspective on the RWBY universe.
