Some of you have probably seen this on Spacebattles already. I've had to make significant modifications to the formatting and content to get it remotely readable here.

IamA: We are Team RWBY. Ask us anything!

Posted by RedLikeRoses

We are Team RWBY, huntresses in training (or at least we were) from Remnant. We have a show about us that was somehow made even though nobody knew Remnant was real, we were there in Texas and fought Cinder and the White Fang, and now we're here answering your questions.

Keep in mind, however, that there are certain topics we're not allowed or don't wish to discuss.

RedLikeRoses: Ruby Rose, aka Ruby Jones

TheRealWeissSchnee: Weiss Schnee aka Anna Weiss

black_belladonnas: Blake Belladonna aka Bella Blake

HotterThanTheSun: Yang Xiao Long aka Linda Anderson

Where are you now?

HotterThanTheSun

That's technically a secret, but it's all over the news.

Washdisher

What are your favourite ships?

RedLikeRoses

The battleships like Iowa (and Yamato if it wasn't sunk) and also the big airplane carrier thingies.

TheRealWeissSchnee

My absolute favorite is the C-class airliner, but if I were to pick a Terran ship, probably the RMS Queen Mary. Ocean liners have a definite majesty to them, and it's a shame your world has largely abandoned oceanic travel.

black_belladonnas

It's not really my thing, but I like the idea of the Zumwalt.

HotterThanTheSun

Forward Unto Dawn.

4days

Don't think that's what they meant, and which ones are canon?

Gamester98

Could you ever consider getting close to a Terran in a romantic way.

HotterThanTheSun

I don't see why not. It's about the person, not about their race.

Gamester98

Have you ever, you know, gotten intimate ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

IAmNotTheOne

What's your favorite (Remnan and Terran) song.

RedLikeRoses

me: we are lighnting (similar to the volume 1 title music) and roard (from Earth)

Weiss: Frozen Time (Chromium Tan)/Let It Go (from Frozen)

Blake: This is hard. I was never really into music on Remnant. I enjoy classical music with my reading, but I admit Green Day and Linkin Park get me fired up in a good(ish) way.

Yang: Won't Break Me from Remnant, Hit Me With Your Best Shot from Earth

danders

For Ruby and Yang: What was life like on patch?

HotterThanTheSun

Quaint, close-knit, isolated. People helped each other out, and we tried to be independent from the mainland. I guess like rural living here is the best way to describe it. But it's also kind of dangerous in a way that isn't, because oft the Grimm.

jaskon

What do you miss the most about Remnant?

RedLikeRoses

Fancy weapons

TheRealWeissSchnee

My sister, Winter.

maasic

What are some things you'd miss from Earth if you went back to Remnant?

RedLikeRoses

YouTube, Kerbal Space Program, really big open country that isn't deadly, and airplanes.

black_belladonnas

The variety of media and literature especially.

Rthur

What does it feel like to use your aura and semblance?

RedLikeRoses

Aura you can feel getting hit but it doesn't hurt. My semblancei s like a pulse of energy and then a rush of wind and moving when I go. It's all hard to describe even to other people on Remnant.

rynn2012

Wiess: were you actually a musician on Remnant or was that something the show made up?

TheRealWeissSchnee

I was never a professional musician. However, I was made to take singing lessons, and I did perform Mirror Mirror at a Schnee event.

rynn2012

do you think you could sing for the internet some day?

TheRealWeissSchnee

Actually, I already did. Search for "Let It Go from Frozen – AW Cover".

answerkey

Do you have the Internet on Remnant?

TheRealWeissSchnee

Sort of. We can access a distributed, connected repository of information and services. It doesn't really have the kind of personal stuff and communities the Internet has, though. It's mostly educational and informational stuff with some commercial interests. And it's not worldwide or connected the same- mostly stuff nearby and it gets slower as the distance to a target grows. According to a Terran I talked to, it's more like the early Internet in intent if much more modern technologically. His words, not mine.

asdfubsads

What is the thing that surprises you most about how Terrans act (not about our technology or society)?

RedLikeRoses

That you don't like it when we point our guns at you when you're on our side and we're in battle.

black_belladonnas

The lengths you'll go to explain away things that you think are impossible. I thought we would be revealed many times, but others were more willing to make up their own excuses for us than realize who we really were.

HotterThanTheSun

Definitely how many crazy and stupid things you do that you should know will kill you yet you do anyway.

notasjw

Mostly for TheRealWeissSchnee, but also for black_belladonnas. Is the real Schnee Dust Company this immoral, illegal, and unethical?

TheRealWeissSchnee

Yes and no. Business is done different on Remnant, and in Atlas especially. The Schnee Dust Company does not break any laws per se. Although prosperous, it's governed much like a third-world republic, and the Schnee Dust Company has close ties to the current dictator. So we influence the government to give us an advantageous position. As for the infamous labour practices, unfortunately there is no exaggeration. It's not a matter of race past the convenience of exploiting a group already disadvantaged.

DRAGONS1111

Blake: Is it racist to automatically think you like Tuna even if it's true? Or that you dislike dogs?

black_belladonnas

Yes.

BlowUpx86

Top or bottom?

RedLikeRoses

me: top

weiss: top

blake: bottom

yang: never played league

black_belladonnas

Let's just say that some of the fan speculation about the books is correct.

axme

For Blake: Radicalization of youth is becoming a major issue today, with people running off to join ISIS and all. As a former member of the White Fang, what would you say to people going through this process.

black_belladonnas

Don't. It may seem alluring to fight for a cause you believe in, but the romanticism quickly wears off and you realize you've built a personal hell that makes everyone around you suffer. You're going to lose who you are pursuing a goal your not sure if you believe in anymore in the worst possible ways.

ASSUMING_DIRECT_CONTROL

Mostly for Ruby, but I guess anyone. What's your favourite weapon (gun, plane, tank, ship, etc) from Earth's history?

RedLikeRoses

This is soooo hard. But I like the mouse tank, battleships, and the warthog.

RMAN

Yang: Are you, or are you not, the woman known as The Bride seen in Syria in late 2014?

Assuming a back to Remnant cannot be created anytime soon, what do you plan on doing with your life? What are your hopes, dreams, and goals now?

RedLikeRoses

I became a huntress to help people and make the world a better place. I'm thinking I want to be police or military if they'll let me.

TheRealWeissSchnee

I want to go into game development, but to be honest, that's more an impulsive direction than an actual dream. Understand that before all this, my life was planned out for me, and I never had the luxury or the burden of thinking about where I wanted to go. I know I don't want to do business, law, or politics.

black_belladonnas

Honestly, there's a lot of uncertainty right now. I'd like to use what I've been through to make a positive change in the world, but that's basically a non-answer.

HotterThanTheSun

I want to see the world. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but it'd be nice.
