2-.... It's not like the RWBY characters have more in common than their generic theme. Thor, Joan, Mulan and Achilles are all extremely different stories from different countries and yet no one complains about them lacking a 'theme' beyond the base team theme. 1-For starters, I was just spitballing the idea, nothing to do with yours. And second, I found that Uncharted got a DC Comics mini-series, a Tie-in Novel, and a "motion comic" prequel. Vexx...was lucky to even get a game, so he wouldn't fit your idea at all.

2-But, they still share something, they have something that links them, a similarity. With RWBY, is Fairy Tales. And with JNPR, is crossdressing entities.

Even if the characters themselves are different from each other for the most part, they still have something similar, something in common, which prevents them from feeling "thrown in for the sake of it without any thought or care".
