For example; i have found satisfactory and canon-friendly ways to port things such as orcs into RWBY without breaking the setting, even though at a glance they should destroy it.

I'm not going to bitch at you until you shut down the thread, but I am providing my experience in the form of advice; if you decide to make a crazy idea crazier, you will not improve as a writer. The way to improve is take a crazy idea and make it work.

Doing the opposite will only degrade your ability, and using such things for fanfiction will contribute to the spread of canon breaking bullshit throughout the rest of the fandom. Don't personally read fanfiction myself, I more so look at this thread for entertainment factor. Instead of trying to refine and restrict ideas so that they can fit logically,  take ideas that are based upon Rwby's world and crank them up to 100! Its a place to see what crazy ideas and powers can be created with Rwby as a basis. I'm not saying powers that will likely pop up in this thread should be used in fanfiction or to create false ideas about what aura, dust, semblances, etc are truely capable of, just to have a bit of fun and let people's imaginations run wild and crazy and fun ideas as opposed to practical ones.
