Once that came out, cracks started to form when Emerald explicitly stated she didn't have anyone who loved her. In this series, she knew her father and mother before going onto the streets. There is also the fact that Watts was presumed dead, meaning he couldn't work in a hospital during ''CRME''. Once Volume 8 finally gave Cinder's backstory, it was completely different from the one described in ''My Name Is Cinder''.

* {{Mundanger}}: The things that the main characters have to deal with in the series are things like AbusiveParents, [[LoanShark Loan Sharks]], {{abusive parents}}, {{loan shark}}s, {{professional killer}}s, and Mobsters.[[TheMobBossIsScarier mobsters]]. By the fantastic standards of the world that they live in, these things are relatively normal. In fact, the only solo story to extensively include the fantasy element of ''RWBY'''s world is ''My Name Is Cinder''.[[note]]And even then, the first two chapters have almost none of it.[[/note]] The others only have pieces of it, but it is not the central focus.

* PseudocanonicalFic: It’s clear that the series intends to fit within the bounds of the show’s universe as best as it can. Especially considering that there are many scenes from "[[Recap/RWBYV3E7TheBeginningOfTheEnd The Beginning of the End]]" referenced in ''CRME''.

* OneSteveLimit: Accidentally averted. In [[FanFic/TheBlackHearts Mercury’s backstory]], his mother is an OriginalCharacter named "Melanie". However, the writer had admitted that they didn’t realize that one of the Malachite twins was also named "Melanie" on the show before naming her and only noticed after her arc had concluded. This is mentioned when the twins show up in ''Roman's Empire''.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/906558 The Makings of Team CRME]]'' is a series of ''{{WebAnimation/RWBY}}'' FanFic stories written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Snarky_SilverHaired_Sociopath/pseuds/Snarky_SilverHaired_Sociopath Snarky_SilverHaired_Sociopath]]. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As you can tell from the title]], it details [[StartOfDarkness the origins]] for Cinder, Roman, Mercury, and Emerald as well as tells the story of how they became allies in their quest to take down Beacon Academy.

!!The series provides examples of:
* AbusiveParents:
** Cinder’s mother, Brigit Stark, was incredibly abusive towards her.
** Both Marcus and Melanie Black abused Mercury in different ways.
* AnachronicOrder: If you read the stories in the order they’re listed, the series will have this effect.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The only person who hasn’t suffered one is Roman.
* FreudianExcuse: One is given to Cinder and Mercury’s is explained in more detail.
* HarmfulToMinors: All of them with the exception of Roman have been through experiences that have left them scarred or completely broken.
* [[KnightOfCerebus Knights of Cerebus]]: Marcus and Melanie count for the series. They make Mercury’s story the darkest one of all of them. Even more so than the other major antagonists.
* ParentalAbandonment: So far, all the stories have involved either one or both parents being out of the picture.
* TheSociopath: Aside from the canon characters that become sociopaths (Cinder, Mercury, and Roman), the completed solo stories so far all have at least one.
** [[EvilMatriarch Brigit Stark]] from ''My Name Is Cinder'' is a wholly selfish GoldDigger who intends for her husband to kill himself so she can attain his fortune. When Cinder tries to expose her, she manipulates her siblings into hating her and horribly abuses her after her husband dies.
** [[BigBad Randall Silva]] from ''An Emerald Unearthed'' is a ruthless LoanShark who only cares about making money for himself. He’ll even murder loved ones if the people he cons if they fail to pay up.
--->''He’d kill someone with a smile and go off to have lunch in twenty minutes. Wouldn’t even ruin his appetite.''
** [[AbusiveParents Marcus and Melanie Black]] from ''The Black Hearts''. Marcus is literally called a psychopath by Mercury and the writer has said that Melanie has sociopathic tendencies. The fic more than proves it for both of them.
* StartOfDarkness: Obviously for Cinder and her associates.
* VillainProtagonist: Most of them will either be criminals or villains by the end of their solo stories. The most explicit case of this is Roman who was already a mobster from the beginning of his. They are basically this in ''CRME''
