if that's so, then you could just have them realize that they're just following their 'destiny' and have em try and defy it Oh no, on the contrary.

RHOA-JVMD's part of the prophecy is to be the shadows of the Modern Legend of Four (Team RWBY) As fortold to be the "Shadows who would drown their casters into the darkness." They already have the drive to destroy Team RWBY and to destroy the world that Team RWBY "created" from defeating Salem (which is a fancy way of saying that Team RWBY saved the world from Salem, but RHOA-JVMD wants to destroy and "kill" the world and have the legacy of Team RWBY be responsible for the "death" of Remnant). They never had a choice in their roles, but they also had a choice, to suffer the rest of their lives under Team RWBY's shadow, or use the cores and have their revenge.

Now for TEOR-MMMM, originally they are given the choice, but initially, they refuse because they know they are not warriors or heroes or anything special. They are just simple large dumb giants. Sure they know about their people and inspired by their ancestry, but they start to feel more like Weiss and Blake, and I just want them to be unique from the usual hero character's purpose, but also fitting itno the fact that they are doing this for their people. Eventually, they do accept their fate because of some mighty reason and learning that even when they die, no one else at all will be able to uphold the prophecy because the patriotic spirit they have will be lost forever, no one else will wield such a patriotic yet humble and wise pride and the Cores of Will that chooses those destined to be the Emperors will choose no one else but them, because they are literally the only ones suitable for the job. So now comes the issue: what is the reason they choose it?
