[up] And ends with a Heel–Face Door-Slam when Cinder realizes she's becoming a liability.

Edit: Also, on a tangent, based on the after-show livestream, RNJR is the official term for the Ruby+Jaune+Ren+Nora team we have right now.

@Nocturne: I know about the color association, I was more wondering whether they'd find a way to have the group referred to as team RNJR in-universe.

Penny had an aura and thus a soul. You cannot resurrect a soul. A new Penny would be more like a twin to Penny, not the actual Penny. Just because her body had more iron and less carbon and water doesn't mean she wasn't a real person who actually died.

But did Penny's soul die? What would make a soul of a synthetic being to die, in the first place? Is it the vessel being destroyed? But then what is the vessel? Penny's whole body? Or maybe just the head (which is intact)? And how much damage is enough damage to be counted as "destroyed"?

It is possibly Penny is dead for good, you are right about that. She is not just a robot, she did have an actual soul. But we still don't how exactly how she came to be. What was the process that allowed her to have a soul to begin with. Until we get the answers, Penny's destroyed body could still have her aura lingering in, which means she could come back. In that case, her current situation would be analogous to a coma.

Maybe souls run in the Undertale rule that they can persist after death. That's a possibility on how Penny was created.

The other has to do with the aura transfer. This is the most likely possibility at the moment

@Captain: Someone ask what their team is called and then one of them (probably Ren) points out that their names can still form a color and they have a brainstorm session.

[up][up]"Does this unit have, a soul?" According to Word of God (In-Universe and from BioWare), yes.

And with how Geth work (specifically Legion), their soul is not tied to their platform, so Penny being in essentially a coma can make sense if she works as a more localized one. IE: If her body and wherever her core processors are located aren't completely destroyed, she'd still be alive, just in power save/shutdown mode/a coma

Part 5: RNJR travel through snowy mountains. They encounter a yeti Grimm. They defeat the creature but Ruby is badly injured and is carried to the next resting place by Jaune. Meanwhile, Blake boards a ship to Haven. After Ruby recovers, they head to a village that has been ransacked by Grimm and fight off a pack of raptor Grimm led by a humanoid Grimm. They head even farther down the road. Ren scouts ahead and is ambushed by white fang. Nora senses he's in trouble and the three rush to his aid. Ruby and Jaune ask how Nora knew and Ren explains that all hunters can potentially have psychic links with their partners. Ruby and Jaune decide to learn this skill. Jaune to try and communicate with Pyrrah's spirit and Ruby to talk to Weiss. Nora talks to Ren about being afraid to lose him. Elsewhere, the vtol lands at Taiyangs house. Weiss learns of Yang's condition and learns that RNJR is headed to haven so she and FNKI go there. Shortly afterwards, Raven visits Yang.

I like the name "Team RNJR" because they only need a blue character, and Qrow counts as the sixth one.

I agree. Considering we know aura transfer is a thing, it seems logical to conclude that was how Penny was created (with the horrifying implication the original "owner" of the aura was still alive).

However, that doesn't really means much for the current situation. For starter, where exactly was her aura transfered to. "Too Penny" is too vague. Maybe it is to some specific part (head, core, whatever)? We don't know. Furthermore, an aura leaves the body after the body dies, it seems (going by Amber situation), but Penny was never really "alive" biologically speaking, so it is not that simple. What is keeping the soul there? Do it ever leaves? Or maybe it is an active system that needs to be constant working (meaning going out of batteries for a while would kill her)?

We don't really know any of that, so it is hard to tell if Penny is really dead or merely in a functional coma.

[up] We don't know what her past life was like either. Does she have memories of her previous body? Was she made in the image of said person?

We still need to learn what does P.E.N.N.Y. stands for, which i'm sure late on vol. 4 we will

I'm listening to the old soundtracks on my iPod and it's just so different. Like, it isn't happy and cheerful anymore.

Especially songs like Gold, Shine and Dream Come True. Those are three of my most favorite songs and now?

All irrelevant.

You can't get it wrong if it's the truth!

[up][up]Bullshit. Just because the future isn't what you expected or want doesn't mean the past is any less beautiful. If anything, they're all the greater now. You might be able to erase the markings, but the memories will always be with you.

In hindsight, yes, they are super sad now. But at the time they were really beautiful songs for Pyrrha. I try to see them more as her legacy than wasted songs.

[up]If Nora dies, that all but confirms Rooster Teeth is racist towards redheads. If Ren dies, that's disrespecting Monty. Unless Monty planned on killing off his own character.

I pretty sure if anybody from introduced in Volume 1 andd 2 dies its cause Monty was already okay with it
