RWBY is the white knight - the first ones on the battlefield - and JNPR are the white rooks - the defenders. And if you consider CRDL taking a black piece, if could hint to their antagonistic nature.

Though it might also be a hint if you think about it. If Cinder is the Queen (the most powerful piece in the game) then who is the King? Someone even more powerful.

They're also bishops, which while useful at the start, are more valuable once the game has reached the end phase.

For whatever value that has.
