Really, people. Enough with calling Jaune a self-insert. Ren was closer to a self-insert for Monty (quiet, highly-skilled) than Jaune is for Miles. That would be like calling Felix a self-insert for Miles into RvB.

I do get what you mean about one-dimensional characters, but you have to understand that RWBY doesn't really have the episode length to expand on the characters further. We're talking about a full season that adds up to the length of the average movie. Grimm Eclipse won't really expand much either, unless they give it a unique story mode, and even then it would likely be highly Ruby-centric.

Now, my plan? I'm gonna try to send through a suggestion to them to consider expanding into print media for RWBY and RvB. E-books, comics, etc. That would give an opening for world expansion in the same light as the old Star Wars continuity, by creating a second tier with content that the series can pick up or drop as they see fit. Even if it's just an outline made by Miles and Kerry and sent to a writer to work, I'd be interested to see what kind of content they'd be able to make. I mean, you could work a written spinoff based around Sun and his team when they return to Haven. What about exploring Menagerie? Exploring the history of the world?

Of course, I'd apply for a job doing that if they advertised for it. I'm not just a pretty face, after all.
