Speakin of Ren, I really like the way the series presents him and Nora. They're a pretty straightforward eccentric crazy person and straight man duo, but in comedy duos like them, the straight man is usually flustered, annoyed, or otherwise aggravated by the eccentric's antics. It's typically presented as a one-sided relationship; the crazy person and the poor bastard who just can't get rid of them.

Instead, Ren is presented as affectionately bemused when Nora goes crazy, which makes it much easier to believe that the characters have the long, friendly history they're supposed to. Ultimately, this makes both characters easier to like, because neither of them is presented as "the asshole" of their duo.

I do love Nora and Ren together as well. ...Actually, thinking about it, if I get onboard with any ship, that might be mine. Huh. You learn something new about yourself every day!

Well, romantic or platonic, I enjoy the two as a pair. I'm looking forward to seeing them alongside RWBY on a team.

Random rambling.

So recently I started to play Overwatch, and I've been wondering which character can be compared to RWBY characters.

Ruby is definitely Genji.

Weiss probably Luciu.

...well, that's about all the comparison I can think of. XP

Totally forgot about that guy.

Well, Lucio does skate around and giving allies status buff, so Weiss does fits a bit. tongue

[up]It's Lúcio not Luciu.

Also: No, Ruby would definitely prefer Tracer; Nora would like Reinhardt for obvious reasons; Adam would play Reaper; Blake would like Genji; Not sure on Yang, maybe Zarya?; Weiss I could see using Hanzo.

I think Blake is a better fit for Genji, since she's much more of a ninja than Ruby is.

I guess Ruby could be Tracer, since they both have Super-Speed to some extent and Ruby may or may not have time powers of her own.

Meanwhile, Yang is definitely Zarya; both of them take damage for their allies, powering up their own attacks.

@Nocturne - You know who I'm referring to, so that's accurate enough.

I think Ruby fits Genji the best because she's not only fast, but have a really strong slicing attack.

Also, Genji is really flashy. [lol]

Ruby is definitely Genji.

I'm going to pretend this said "Ruby is definitely Tracer" and call it a day.

points about Ruby and Cinder being more contrasting/connected than previously thought

I can't disagree.

What's this Ruby may/may not have time powers discussion I missed?

Also I have an idea that I want to do but would be very hard to do.

[up]The idea that Ruby stop the dragon from moving, for some reason some fans since to think she have ice power but many think she actually stop the dragon in time, so that is the reason it still there in the tower.

Now the real question is that power afect Cinder and if that is the case, why

Do you think it would be possible to, through thread collaboration (in the Forum Games?) make the Grand Unified Timeline self-consistent.

Some people think Ruby's powers are time based not speed based.

Personally I think that's wrong. It's clearly speed since she causes jetstreams and such when she moves. Ozpin is the time guy. Compare his super speed to Ruby's. Ozpin just makes movements very fast, like he's on fast foward with no affect on anything but himself. Ruby doesn't do that.

I honestly think that her Semblance and Silver Eyes are unrelated powers. Unless Summer or other Silver Eyed Hunters have similar powers to Ruby, then I think those two things are unrelated.

RE: Ren & Nora

I second what Tobias said there. Despite their comparatively limited screentime, I honestly think they come off as more functional than most of the other ships around, because while Nora is crazy, Ren is totally unperturbed by it. Really, the only thing that needs to happen for them to get together is for one of them to flatout admit the interest.

I read a fanfic, by the way, in which Ren is fully aware of Nora's interest and returns it, but has yet to say anything because he's concerned that when he tells her, she's going to be so happy she ends up breaking things.

RE: Ruby vs Cinder

It's also worth noting that up to this point, Cinder hasn't had to contrast heavily with Ruby—that's been Roman's job. He and Ruby didn't take long to fall into the classic superhero/supervillain "hate based on repeated encounters" rivalry—complete with derogatory nicknames. Roman had fought the entire team, but it's Ruby that most of his frustration focuses on, and the contrast between the naive, idealistic teenage girl and the jaded male gangster/criminal mercenary is pretty sharply drawn—and only reinforced by Roman's Motive Rant cum Shut Up, Kirk! in his final episode.

[up]Yeah, Nora and Ren seem to have one of the more functional relationship on-screen.

Also [lol] at the fanfic's thing with them. I can totally see that happening.

On Ruby's powers: I don't think she's got any kind of time powers. Personally, I think what her Silver Eyes did to the Grimm Dragon was petrify it.
