User blog:Jkphantom9/Notes from the RWBY portion of the ExtraLife Stream

Thanks to tenkenryu on Tumblr for sharing this! See the original post here

(you'll probably know most of this stuff by now, but in case you missed it, here it is)

-Scarlet David is based on Peter Pan. The name “David” isn’t because it’s Gavin’s middle name, but because the author of Peter Pan based the character on his brother David who had died in an ice-skating accident.

-Scarlet has the grappling hook because of Captain Hook from the Peter Pan story.

-Sage Ayana is based on a character from Aesop’s Fables. Kerry couldn’t remember which character off the top of his head. (Edit: Monty indicated previously that Sage would be based on Aesop himself.)

-Kerry gets into character for Neptune by standing in the booth and saying “Ladies.”

-Gray gets into character for Torchwick by saying “Hello Red,” as creepy as he can.

-Miles, in response to questions about figures for more of the cast: “We don’t make [merch] decisions. We want figures for all of our characters.”

-Gray thinks making the tabletop game from Volume 2 is a great idea. It’s been “discussed,” but nothing solid yet.

-Grimm Eclipse will introduce a new villain and will have new varieties of Grimm that haven’t been seen in the show yet.

-The RWBY animation and Grimm Eclipse teams have been collaborating on script, and there may be some plot elements that link together between the game and future volumes of the show.

-Emerald Forest and Mountain Glenn are among the playable areas in Grimm Eclipse. There will also be new regions that haven’t been seen in the show.

-According to Kerry, “a lot” of RWBY technology is based on Dust, but not necessarily all.

-For the Neptune and Sun victory dance, Miles mocapped Neptune, and Dillon Gu (one of the newer animators who “can actually dance”) mocapped Sun.

-Gray suggested that character details, turnarounds, height charts, and weapon designs will be posted on a new RWBY page on the RT site.

-Episode 3 Preview showed Winter’s arrival and bits of her fight with Qrow.

Hope this helps ^_^
