What are the challenges in writing an RVB RWBY crossover fanfiction?

There's a crossover fic called 'Colors of Combat'. In this story, the Reds and Blues find themselves in the RWBY universe and have to adapt to the new rules and powers there. It has great character development as they learn from the RWBY characters and vice versa. The story also has some really cool fight scenes that blend the combat styles of both series.

One challenge is blending the two different mythologies. Percy Jackson is based on Greek mythology while RWBY has its own unique lore. Writers have to find a way to make these two coexist without it feeling forced. For example, how do you explain demigod powers in a world that already has its own set of powers like semblances?

One challenge is merging the two very different universes. RWBY has its own rules about semblances and Dust, while Digimon has the concept of digivolution and the Digital World. Combining these without making it seem forced can be tough.

The theme of self - discovery also pops up. Church may have thought he knew himself well in the RvB universe, but in RWBY, he's faced with new challenges and situations that make him re - evaluate who he is. He might discover new abilities or aspects of his personality while interacting with the RWBY characters and their world.

One challenge is staying true to the original characters. For example, Carrie has very specific traits and a backstory. When crossing her over into another universe, like say, the Star Trek universe, you have to make sure her character still makes sense. You can't just change her personality completely.

Balancing the different universes' power scales is difficult. If Doomfist is crossed with a universe where the characters are much weaker, he could become overpowered and make the story uninteresting. Conversely, if he's in a much more powerful universe, he might seem insignificant. You have to find a way to make his abilities relevant.

Character consistency can be tough too. For example, if you cross the Magisterium with a more heroic - based universe like Marvel, the Magisterium characters might need some adjustment to fit into that world's heroic - villainous dynamic. And you have to keep their personalities intact while making those adjustments.

One challenge is staying true to the characters from both series. The 2012 turtles have different personalities compared to the 2018 ones. For example, the 2012 Leonardo is more strict about following rules, while the 2018 Leo is more laid - back. You have to make sure that when they interact, it makes sense based on their original characterizations.

Character consistency is also a big deal. The characters in 'Dishonored' have their own personalities and motives. In a crossover, you need to make sure they act in - character even when put in new and strange situations from the other universe. And then there's the world - building aspect. Merging two different fictional worlds without making it seem forced is not easy.

One challenge is maintaining the integrity of the original 'Taken' story while integrating elements from the other franchise. For example, if it's a crossover with a superhero story, the gritty realism of 'Taken' might be hard to balance with the superpowers. Another issue is making the crossover believable. Readers need to be able to suspend their disbelief and see how the characters from two different worlds can co - exist and interact.
