Sadly, shows don't always delve into that stuff in the first several episodes. As far as character backstories, at least we did start to get into that for the main peeps, even if some of the more solid stuff came from Mr. Business Guy Whose Name I Forgot showing everyone that he knows all about them.

Overall, the stuff with FIRST membership is being handled incredibly poorly.

First off, they do a shit job advertising it. How many people actually know what all benefits you get from it, aside from "Watch an episode a week early"? It doesn't help that they don't fucking tell anyone outside of the RT site about FIRST. Remember when they were all like "RWBY Volume 3 will start on October X", and then October X came, and tons of people were going "Help!! Volume 3 premiered today, didn't it?? How come it won't let me watch the episode?! Is it not actually out yet?!!" because RT didn't note anywhere in any of the advertisements that the release date was for FIRST members only.

Second, I feel like they're not putting enough love and effort into the benefits that you get for being a FIRST member, especially since not everyone is interested in most of the current benefits. Maybe they could do something that allows for more interaction with the community through FIRST members, or maybe FIRST members could actually get to participate in random drawings that win them cool shit. I dunno. All I know is, the current list of benefits isn't good enough for most people to feel inclined to pay, especially with the price increase.
