Personally, I like the idea of him being voice matched by someone. Basically anyone. However, if he is silenced, I would like for a specific series of events to cause it. While we have seen the RWBY cast take quite a lot and be fine, we know that Mercury killed Tuksen, and that Neo nearly caused Yang's demise. So they aren't immortal by any means. If they right in that Ren is muted, I would like it to be at the hands of the cutest little villainess, Neo, and for a very obvious reason. Up until now, Neo has not spoken, and there is a good chance that she is a mute. Based on this, she easily could have had a hard life because of her disability, never really able to make her thoughts heard and valued. And if in a long fight, she can injure Ren in a way to silence him, to take his voice, could be a very interesting thing to watch in Neo. Now she has cursed someone else to a fate that she has had to fight her whole life. She cause someone to know her personal pain. And the worst part: He's still accepted. Ren's team and friends wouldn't leave him. And it would make her furious that they are both the same now, but she was alone for so long, while he is loved. I would like this kind of character building for a (currently) minor villain.

Also, the thought of Nora going on one of her long, babbling rants, stopping for a breathe and glances at Ren, and then, "I know that isn't the sound a sloth makes. I'm just saying..." Interactions like that would be one of the cutest things I have ever seen in any series.
