I'm not necessarily defending this fanfic but here's why I added what I added.

1.Jacques being constipated is supposed to symbolize that Jacques is full of shit.

2. The reason why Jacques sided with Watts and Tyrian was because the latter was going to kill him if he didn't. Kinda like how Cinder was going to kill Adam if he didn't join her.

3. Merc and Em liking Tyrian isn't too OOC. Tyrian's a entertaining fellow but he can be creepy at times. As of Salem, Mercury doesn't like Salem which was why he flipped off the Seer Grimm.

4. How is Hazel OOC? He said that he had to kill Team RWBY, it wouldn't be personal.

5. Tyrian's characterization was pretty accurate up until his defeat. Even then if Tyrian were to be defeated, he'd likely have a mental breakdown.

6. Jacques doesn't have much screen time and it's likely in the Atlas Arc we'll see a more evil side to him rather than a sympathetic one.

7. Mercury has never smoked or vaped in the show. But I can imagine that he would do so if he had the time. I've always interpreted Mercury as a dude-bro, which is why he called Em a thot and slapped her.

8. I've always interpreted the relationship between Emerald and Cinder to be similar to the relationship between Tyrian and Salem.

9. The eye thing I'll admit could've been done better but I added that to show how manipulative Cinder is towards Emerald, convincing her that she doesn't deserve two eyes and Emerald actually believing Cinder. Emerald loves Cinder so that's why she was ok with Cinder plucking out her eye, Mercury knows that she is fucked but doesn't care because it's not his business.

10. The reason why I had Emerald and Mercury be so sadistic towards Ruby was because in Round 1 Emerald said she hated Team RWBY because they were so happy all the time, and Mercury seemed to agree.

11. Ruby killed Tyrian because he was lunging at her and she killed Emerald partially as a mercy killing.

12. Weiss technically didn't kill Jacques, she gave him the chance to surrender and have the icicle safely removed, Jacques died because he chose to pull it out. Also Weiss fired the icicle into his chest because if she didn't, Jacques would blow up Atlas.

13. The reason why I had Jacques attempt to blow up Atlas is to show that Jacques is so power hungry, he'd rather die than live without his power and if he can't be president of the SDC, no-one can.

14. The reason why Hazel joined Team RWBY was because he hated Team TEM because they were psychopaths and he presumingly hated Cinder as well.

15. I'll admit there's more cursing than there needs to be.
