Highcastle, I told you. If I was writing RWBY that Ironwood framed by Cinder wouldn't have be an issue. It never would have went down the same, it would be a whole new series of scenes. She would've tried to hack into the military computers and would've be stopped by firewalls and military agents who's soul job was to prevent hacking. Her attempt to hijack the airwaves of the broadcast, stopped there too because would trianglate her locale and run up on her ass. The only way she would find success was in a fight because she could easily kill all the soldiers. So she'd make it to Oz and have that battle and then end up on the tower still. But she wouldn't beat Ironwood unless it was fighting him. Anyway, that's not my point.

My point is decisiveness. I don't want to copy Batman, his MO on handling things is just a way I like to follow things thru in my stories. My characters change and grow but it's all done in a way that never hinders the plot or them. The goal is set and they charge for it knocking all hinderances out of the way, sorta speak.

Learn of a problem? get fellow heroes together and hash out a solution.

Lose a battle to a omni-powerful foe? double back, come up with new tactics, try again. No time for self-pity or stalling out of fear.

Kill a person innocent while trying to stop true evil? Feel sad, vow to do better next time, wipe those tears and get back out there.

Learn you're the only one who can save the world? Go save it. Don't think you can do it alone? DON'T! Get help! Then go save it.

Don't want to endanger your friend? Tell them of the criminals out there trying to kill you so they can be prepared.

Getting old, don't think you can still be a hero? Pass on knowledge.

Mentor dies and you don't think you have what it takes to replace them? Why? He taught you. Go try, fail, then try again, like he did when he started out.

With me the time is always NOW. There's no stalling. Do it now. Characters deal with the problems by planning for when things go wrong and adapting. Not but curling up in a fetile position and whining about doubt and not being able to save anyone or about not wanting to bother because they'd rather be average.
