User blog:Da1337wolf/Speculating Aura and Dust

This is my first blog post, so please bear with me.

Now, my speculation on Aura:

• It is an energy unlike any we've seen in an anime or movie yet. I believe that Aura could well be a force spawned of the life force of every being. This force is "Colorless" and has no bearing on the elements. Rather it is all able to be focused into user specific capabilities.

• Aura is generated and regenerated in the body of any being with a soul, these beings are what I'd classify as alive. Grimm, which are soulless, I classify as dead, or possibly, undead.

• As Grimm lack a soul I guess that one of the following is true 1. Grimm are artificial, being created by a being with a deep seated hatred of all things light. 2. Grimm once had souls, but these have been stolen and stored in a realm simular to the Soul Carin from elder scrolls. 3. Grimm once had souls, but these were destroyed by a force of great evil.

Next my speculation on Dust:

• Dust is a source of light older even than the Grimm. • Dust, being "Colored" energy, is completely element based. • Dust does not have any real connection to Aura, as every day items may be powered by it, this would allow Grimm to use it as well. (Possible plot point?) • Dust may be in the very genes of people in the RWBY universe, but not in great amounts. • The world that RWBY takes place on may well be rich with oil and coal(unless these are used in dust refining), assuming that dust is a universal power source.

Finally, my surprise speculation on Fauna/Fanus/Fauni:

•Fauna(as I prefer to call them) are possibly a second, oppressed race or human beings, who are NOT related to the Grimm. They merely are mistreated for their animal characteristics and possibly an affinity for animals. (Much like Furries on the Internet). •Blake and Adam are NOT actually fauna, though they may be sympathizers. Stating a bow is hiding cat ears is futile. All the Fauna displaying ears had them too far apart to be hidden by that bow, and Adam does not have horns, they are strips of fabric meant to fasten his mask to his face. This does not mean I do not want them to be, it just means I doubt it.
