Board Thread:Speculation House/@comment-12698523-20130722170259

After listening to the opening narration a couple of times, when the narrator said that 'man, born from dust', at first I've been thinking that man is literally made of dust (not Dust) at the beginning. And then, I started to think that in RWBYverse, mankind is literally made of Dust (note the capital letter). So, I suspect that during the dawn of age in RWBYverse, Dust played a crucial role in the creation of mankind.

If it's true, then there might a plot about bad guys trying to harvest Dusts from humans instead of mining them from earth. Like reverse-engineering the creation of man from Dust. If Dust can create life, why can't they do that in reverse?

Just a speculation...
