User:Nikolai the Second

Hello, I am Nikoli the rebel.

Nikoli the Rebel
Like most authors, this particular piece of fiction (my username) has meant different things to me at different times of my life. The name is a typo (or is it?). The real spelling is "Nikolai" but by the time I realized that, I had developed a reputation that I didn't want to lose. So Nikoli came to refer to myself, a flawed and misguided human being who carries both his failures and the resultant lessons on his back. Nikolai Pereshenko became the name of a character I had created back in 2014, the idealized tragic hero.

My favorite RWBY theories
red=>Fire
 * Summer was Ozpin's ace with her mastery of Silver Eyes and she was forced to go on a suicide mission where she died thus placing her burden to be Vale's defender on Ruby. This explains why Ozpin bended the rules for Ruby in "Field trip" and "Ruby Rose".  Ruby was supposed to be the replacement for the fall maiden but when she was deemed too young and inexperienced, Pyrrha was chosen instead.  Additionally, they weren't sure if the subject would survive the experiment so Pyrrha was a much more expendable asset than their silver eyed warrior.
 * The four main dust types are

White=>Earth

Yellow=>Lightning

Green=>Wind
 * Wiess will, in time, lead the Schnee dust company.
 * Blake will form her own guerrilla force specializing in asymmetric warfare.

Correlations
The Great war in RWBY correlates to The Great War in our timeline. The RWBY equivalent of WW2 is on the way. Furthermore, it seems as though there is equality in Remnant (which is explored via the faunus) which only happened in our timeline after WW1 with the 19th amendment in the USA and other measures like desegregation of the armed forces.

I believe that the only reason that it took the world 80+ years to enter a new world war was a lack of a major depression. In our timeline, the Great Depression was worldwide and it effected Germany the most, which fueled the anger and lead the the widespread election of the Nazis. With the collapse of the CCT, and the fall of Vale, the global markets are going to hit rock bottom just like they did after 9-11 and on black Thursday. A run on the banks will happen in Volume 4. Currently RWBY is in the interwar period (which saw vast technological advances).

Predictions for Volume 4
Atlas's populace will be angered by the actions of Ironwood's robot army. Global Depression will hit Remnant. Tensions will reach a breaking point and Marshal Law will be declared. Wiess will (foolishly) take the side of the protesters because of how much Vale has changed her. Grimm will sense the chaos and swarm. Wiess will stand out in the defense of the Kingdom and her father will be so impressed that he will change his will so that Wiess inherits the company and not Winter. Having gained her fathers approval and worked towards repairing her family name, Wiess sets out to meet up with team RWBY.

Blake travels with Sun to hunt down Adam. Blake and Sun start a relationship with Sun slowly breaking down Blake's walls. They interrogate their way up the WF hierarchy to find Adam which leads to a final showdown. Adam beats back both Blake and Sun's attacks until he has enough space to kill Sun which he does. This pushes Blake over the edge of the abyss and into full anti-hero. She counterattacks like a wild animal and uses her pain and suffering to defeat Adam. Adam tries to run away but she isn't taking any prisoners. She plunges Gambol Shroud into the back of his head. Content with her accomplishment, she recovers Sun's body and seeks out the rest of team RWBY knowing that Adam can't hurt them anymore and that Sun broke down her last wall.

Yang tries to convince Taiyang to train her but her father won't have it. He thinks that her fighting days are over and he doesn't want his daughter in danger anymore. In the argument, Taiyang asks Yang to prove she has what it takes to resume training. She lashes out but Taiyang exploits her physical disability to show her just how worthless of a fighter she is now.

In her despair, she walks off and attempts suicide. Taiyang saves her at the last second but her intense despair has attracted Grimm. Taiyang holds them back as best he can but there are too many and he has been off the battlefield too long. He soon fails and is physically wounded in some way. Yang, with her father on the ropes and no hope of being saved finds it in herself to make something of her life. She makes a hero run, crushing the Grimm as best she can and making it to her father. They then retreat with their cabin destroyed in the background. Taiyang agrees to train Yang if only for self defense.

Taiyang teachers her a new way of fighting with only one hand that he learned from his mentor. Yang struggles very much with this new way as her old way worked so well. In frustration, Taiyang reminds her to face the reality of her arm, to accept it, and to move on. After some contemplation she decides to try again even harder than before. After exhausting herself, she eventually gets a hang of it and even bests Taiyang (who is still recovering from his injury) in a few rounds.

Yang decides to go rest up but finds something strange in her sleeping bag. Under the bulge is a package addressed to her from her mom. Inside is a new prosthetic arm. At first Yang is overjoyed and she finds that it fits perfectly but then she starts to question her mother. She starts to realize that if her mother had been watching her all this time then why didn't she do anything to save Taiyang or to give the prosthetic earlier to ease her training. She screams these things out into the howling darkness with no response. Frustrated, she punches a tree and goes back to Taiyang.

In the distance, Raven whispers "Because it made you stronger..." and then leaves.
