A significant theme is the combination of two different universes' cultures. The RWBY universe has its own set of values and aesthetics, and Dark Souls 3 has its very distinct and often dark and gritty style. In the fanfic, we see how these two clash and blend. For example, the concept of the Maidens in RWBY and how it might interact with the Firelink Shrine in Dark Souls 3. Also, friendship and teamwork are themes as the RWBY characters usually rely on each other in their own series, and in the fanfic, they have to do the same in the new and more challenging Dark Souls 3 setting.
One great 'rwby and dark souls fanfic' is 'The Grimm Souls'. It combines the unique world - building of RWBY with the challenging and dark atmosphere of Dark Souls. The characters from RWBY are placed in situations inspired by Dark Souls, like facing tough bosses that are remixed versions of Grimm creatures. Another interesting one is 'Souls of Remnant' which focuses on how the mechanics of Dark Souls, such as leveling up and finding special items, could work in the RWBY universe. It has some really cool crossovers of RWBY characters using Dark Souls - like weapons and magic.
Maybe the fanfic could explore the concept of the bonfires in Dark Souls in the RWBY universe. The characters could find special areas that act like bonfires, where they can rest, regain health, and upgrade their weapons. They could also meet strange characters at these bonfire - like places, similar to the NPCs in Dark Souls who give quests or useful information.
Well, one aspect is the chance to see the RWBY characters in a different light. In Dark Souls - inspired scenarios, they can show new sides of their personalities. Also, the fanfic writers can play around with the mechanics of both worlds. Like how the Dust in RWBY could interact with the Souls in Dark Souls. It allows for a lot of creative freedom, whether it's in creating new weapons, new enemies, or new storylines that bridge the gap between the two universes. And the dark and often mysterious atmosphere of Dark Souls can add a new layer of depth to the RWBY world.
There is a fanfic named 'RWBY's Journey in Dark Souls 3'. In this, the RWBY team finds themselves in the world of Dark Souls 3. They have to face the tough bosses and learn the ways of that world. The author does a great job of portraying the RWBY characters' growth as they struggle in this new and dangerous environment.
RWBY could expand their knowledge of different fantasy worlds. The Dark Souls fanfic might introduce them to new concepts like the unique magic systems or the way the afterlife is depicted. This could give them ideas for their own world - building or for new techniques in combat. Also, they could learn about different ways of character development. In Dark Souls, characters often grow through repeated failures and hardships, which is a bit different from how RWBY characters usually develop. This new approach could be something they could incorporate into their own growth as heroes.
Well, Ruby would likely be very intrigued. Since she loves adventure, the Dark Souls fanfic might seem like a whole new exciting world to her. Weiss could find it a bit too dark and chaotic compared to the more refined stories she's used to. Blake might see parallels between the struggles of the characters in the fanfic and her own experiences. Yang would be into the tough battles and heroic deeds described, and she might even start imagining herself in the shoes of the fanfic's characters, fighting in the Dark Souls universe.
Well, in Dark Souls, combat is very strategic and timing - based. In a RWBY Dark Souls fanfic, the RWBY characters could adopt similar combat styles. For instance, Weiss's attacks could require precise timing to land, just like in Dark Souls. And when fighting Grimm, there could be a stamina system where if they over - exert themselves, they become vulnerable for a short time.
Sure. In some fanfiction, the unique weapon upgrade and magic systems from Dark Souls could be incorporated into RWBY. Imagine Ruby's scythe being upgraded in a way similar to Dark Souls weapons, with different materials and requirements. It makes for a really cool blend of the two universes.
I'm not sure who 'strq' is exactly. If it's a person, it depends on their interests. Some people really enjoy reading RWBY fanfics as they can explore different storylines and character developments that might not be in the official show.
