Judging by team FNKI, Atlas' military and hunters are correlated, not one and the same.

[up]Yeah, I believe that's the case.

However, we do know this: "Unlike most kingdoms, the Kingdom's government, military, and the Academy function as a single entity."

So I believe that a lot of Hunters join the Atlesian Military, but aren't exactly forced to.

The more I think about it, the more it sounds like Remnant is made up of former states of the British Empire. Atlas and Vale are aspects of America, Mistral is Canada, and Vacuo is Australia.

That's actually not a bad idea.

Actually, I was just looking at the Atlas page on the RWBY Wiki:

  • Atlas Academy is named after the Greek Titan Atlas, who is said to have held up the pillar between the heavens and the earth as punishment for his actions in the Titanomachy. This suggests a motif of protectors and bearers of responsibility.
    • Its name is notable in that it is a less direct, non-definitional reference to protection, differing from the names of its peers, Beacon, Haven, and Shade.
      • Its name also brings to mind Atlases, large books of maps, suggesting a motif of guidance and unity.

Interesting bit of Trivia. And, if we go by how Ironwood acts, it is very likely how Atlas is.

Okay, wait. So Taiyang slept with both Summer and Raven to make Yang and Ruby, right?

What about Qrow? How is he Ruby's uncle if they aren't related?

Simple: He's not, but he's related to her older sister, and therefor Ruby's uncle by technicality.

Like, if he was around often enough, tiny child Ruby might have just decided he was her uncle. And, she's not wrong in a sense.

Because you don't have to be related to the person to be thier uncle.

Huh. I just didn't understand. Do you guys think Ruby and Yang know they aren't full blood sisters?

Or ruby is revealed to be Qrow's daughter tonguetongue

I hope next volume explains why he is so attached to ruby. Might have to do with Summer and his alcoholism

[up][up]Uhh... yes? [lol]

Did you not watch the episode where Yang tells Blake to stop exhausting herself over Roman and the White Fang? Yang mentions that she found out that Summer Rose wasn't her real mother, and that she and Ruby are half-sisters.

[up]What is with everyone and that theory? Fuck.

Seriously, I think it's just because Qrow was in love with Summer, she didn't feel the same way, he let her go to Taiyang, and was close to Ruby because she reminds him of Summer.

[up][up]Well, there is the issue Qrow is not that atach to Yang, in fact let me put it this way: have been Ruby the one framed by Mercury and told Qrow she has having dream about Summer or Raven, he would react the same way as he did with Yang?.

The answer is clear, dosent it?

Now, about why? I could be because of Summer....but why would be Qrow so atach to her?.

Presumably because of the eye thing, which is why he and Ozpin were so interested in her.

@BlackSunNocture: I feel like there must have been a show or something where a similar twist occurred.

Either because Ozpin knew of ruby since her birth and made qrow protect her at all costs or something far more personal.

I mean, the former would explain why he is following RNJR

Also, Yang could remenber Qrow too much of Raven and her particular worldview....

In fact, there it isnt much love between those two brother, dosent it?

Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure which national anthem to modify into one for Atlas. I kinda wanna go with La Marseillaise, France's national anthem.

[up] That could work as well; as well all known, Prussia was the source of Germany's bloodthirstiness during the world wars.
