Hey, Miles! I am a huge fan of the work you, Kerry, and Monty are doing with RWBY so far. I keep getting more and more enthralled with each episode. I can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out! That being said, I need to tell you something important that I [i]cannot[/i] go on without telling you about. I know you probably think I'm just another deranged fan, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could please just take a moment and consider what I have to say. Ok, so from what I've seen of the series, the main form of power in this series is Dust. In addition to that, there seems to be different kinds of Dust, powders and crystals. The Dust seems to be further subdivided by the colors of Dust giving the user different powers, and the effects of the crystals differing, depending on wether the crystal is "uncut" or not. That bring said, I have an idea that I thought would be an amazing twist for a future season, if you'd be kind enough to hear it. So, my idea is this: picture an isolated island off the coast of the continent where Beacon Academy is located. In the middle of this island is a moderately urbanized town of a fair size that surrounds a large Dust factory in the very center of the island. This factory may or may not work for the Schnee Dust Company, but I will leave that decision entirely in your hands. This factory, upon first glance, appears to be like any other. But, this particular factory houses an underground experimental facility. This facility's main purpose is to find a more powerful form of Dust. The scientists employed in this project then go through a very particular process to make a new, immensely powerful weapon. They first carefully grind up the many different colors of Dust together into a fine powder with a texture much like that of flour. Then, they take Dust crystals(cut or uncut, again, I will let you decide) and harness their energy to isolate the powdered Dust in a powerful field. Next, they focus this energy on the powdered Dust itself, thus purifying and refining it. They then either contain this power within an empty crystal(drained of all it's power by this process), or allow it to harden into the powdery state of regular Dust. This process creates what would be known as "Particle Dust". In either of these forms, Particle Dust is substantially more powerful than regular Dust, due to its purification and refinery. This Particle Dust is capable of using primarily any different power of a single color of Dust, but not all at once( don't want it to be overpowered). This would, thus, be extremely dangerous if its power were to fall into the wrong hands(hint). This in itself would likely make for a great twist in the series later on. However, that is not all. The following is merely a possible addition to the above idea. So, the scientists in charge of creating Particle Dust are successful. But, this islands inhabitants, long scarred by the War, are angry at the damages they have suffered since then. Therefore, they employ a special, top-secret division of scientist in this experimental facility. And this units purpose? To create a super-weapon the likes of which the world has never seen: an ultimate warrior with near-unstoppable power. This team would work around-the-clock, conducting their experiments and testing new methods. These scientists eventually made a breakthrough in this project when they discovered the only way to resonate a humans response to Dust on a much higher level: human experimentations. They began taking the people of the island away from their families. People of all ages were taken and subjected to ghastly experiments. They tried everything, until they found that the resonance between their subject and the Dust could be increased by injecting Dust directly into the bloodstream. At least half of the victims subjected to this method died, their bodies violently rejecting the Dust in their system. Others who survived could not control this power and were killed by it or went insane. Some of these less fortunate subjects, who were denied the relief of death and driven to insanity, managed to escape the facility, never to be heard from again(possible villains), while others were captured or killed in the act. Only a small handful of people were able to control this power long enough for the Dust to work its way out of their systems. This group of subjects was comprised of individuals who had been training(wether at Signal Academy or in preparation for it, again, I'll let you decide) with Dust previously in order to become Hunters and Huntresses. The scientists, now corrupted with power, decided that this result was not good enough, and decided to increase the experimentation to a higher level. They gathered their remaining test subjects and subjected them to their most gruesome and utterly ghastly experiment yet. The remaining subjects were subjected to Particle Dust and pushed harder in their test than ever before. Few survived this endeavor, most perishing in a tragically gruesome fashion. A lust for power seeping into their heads and their patience growing thin, the scientists let their hunger for their desired result corrupt their minds. They attempted to use Particle Dust in its purest form to combine a Hunter and his weapon as one. With only five subjects remaining, they injected Particle Dust into them in a much larger dosage and denied them food and drink for three days. Those who lived, they agreed, would be strong enough to withstand the last experiment. To their disappointment, however, only one young boy, about 16 years of age, survived this endeavor. The last subject was then given food and water, as they could not have their last subject dying of thirst or starvation. Shortly thereafter, the last subject was taken to the center of the facility and strapped to a table. His weapon, a high-powered rifle-sword([not a sniper rifle] a standard-issue weapon to all test subjects) was then wired directly to him. The scientists then proceeded to inject all of the Particle Dust in the entire facility into the boy in one final attempt to make their long-desired goal of the fabled "ultimate warrior" a reality. The boy's body reacted violently to the substance, writhing in agony and shrieking in painful protest, until finally, all the Particle Dust had been successfully injected into his system. The boy stopped his protests, and the scientists waited. They waited for a reaction, for a sign that all of their hard work had finally paid off. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, the boy began to glow faintly. The sword also began to emit the same light. This light shimmered from the weapon, growing brighter and brighter, until finally, in a great flash of light, the weapon was absorbed through the wires and travelled directly into the body of the young boy. The scientists were jubilant as the boy continued to glow. Their experiment was a success! But, the one thing they didn't predict was the catastrophe that was to follow. The boy then began to shake, his heart rate shooting up rapidly. The scientists, previously euphoric, were suddenly entering a state of mass panic. The child began glowing brighter and convulsing more violently than before. They had not predicted this. Suddenly, the light faded. The boy stopped jerking. His heart rate slowed down to almost half it's normal pace. They entered the room and removed the bindings from the boy to move him to the emergency room of the facility. No sooner had they done this than the boys body took on its previous glow once again, this time growing brighter much quicker than before. Suddenly, the blade of a sword shot out of the boys chest cavity, puncturing the heart of one of the scientists. The glow grew to a brilliant flash of light as the unconscious boy shrieked at the top of his lungs. The town surrounding the factory was quiet that night. Nothing but a few chirping crickets could be heard. Then, the factory exploded. It was as if an atomic bomb had been dropped on the island. The land was devastated. The boy awoke in the ruins of the factory, exhausted and alone. He looked for someone to explain what had happened, but found only his next to him in the rubble. The sight of this familiar blade brought the memories flooding back into his head. he had been subjected to yet another of those scientists' experiments. They had strapped this weapon to him and injected the largest quantity of what they had called "Particle Dust" he'd ever seen into his body. he had shortly after that lost consciousness, and couldn't remember what had happened after that. He grabbed the weapon he had come to know rather well, and he had no sooner done this than I shimmered in a brilliant light and was immediately absorbed through his hand and into his body. He was terrified. What had they made him? He backed away from the spot the weapon had laid and bumped into a chunk of a sign. Most of it was black and charred, but, brushing away the ash with his hand, he was able to make out the words "experimentation division". His anger grew, remembering the horrendous ordeals they had put him and so many others through. He wanted this sign to burn, to crumble away into ashes. He had no sooner thought this than a blast of flames shot from his hands onto the sign. He jumped back in terror. Had he done that, just by thinking of it? He suddenly felt all the energy in his body rush out, and fell in a heap on the ground. Unable to move out of fatigue, he tried to think of something before this facility, of something from his past. He could think of nothing. He didn't even remember his own name. The scientists had always referred to him as "subject 5". A small burning fragment of a file floated to the ground in front of him. He wondered if it had something to do with him. He blew out the fire as fast as he could, desperate for some clue as to what kind of life he'd had. Slowly reaching up, he cupped the delicate scrap of paper in his hands. The scrap of paper read: "[b]Subject #5/ Name: Cori Mazon/[/b](this name is actually a variation of the word "crimson", which is pronounced "[i]cō-[b]rē-[/b]mâ-zôn[/i]" in Japanese, to the best of my knowledge, and from this, I will trust you with his color scheme and design).   He had scarcely finished reading this precious scrap of information before it crumbled into ash. This name was all he now had to cling on to of his past life. That, and his weapon, which he vaguely remembered was issued only to those who were called "Hunters". He decided to venture to the place closest to him and contact these Hunters(Beacon Academy) in the hopes that they would be able to help him control these strange powers. He then set off, with nothing but a weapon and a name, to begin his journey.   That's pretty much what my idea consisted of. I'm sorry if I bored you to tears with the details, or lack thereof, but I thought this would be an utter waste of knowledge and creativity if I didn't share it with the right people. I will be sending a copy of this to the rest of the RWBY team as soon as I can, just to make sure the information is received. Also, I will re-send this to you at the end of every other week, unless you send a reply to this message telling me you have received it. Again, I apologize, but I have to make sure this information is successfully delivered to the right people. I'm sorry if I'm taking up a lot of your time with this, but I had this idea I thought might work in an upcoming season and didn't want it to be another wasted idea. I know I kind of wrote this in a way relative to an author's way of writing books, but I write fiction stories myself, and didn't know how else to convey a 17 -year-old's ideas to a prestigious company like Rooster Teeth without sounding like an idiot. I am extremely grateful for your time and consideration in reading this letter, and want you to know that even if you dislike or choose not to utilize my idea, I will still look forward to the rest of the series. I wish you all the best of luck, and hope you know you'll always have at least one guy who appreciates the work you do. Take care!
