Is there any villain/threat you would have liked to see during the times between the original trilogy and the sequels? 
          
          A very specific question, but I thought something like that would be necessary. I've been thinking about this, and it's a concept I might eventually use. Who knows?
          
          Let's imagine a Mandalorian Twilek. She would have been raised by a Mandalorian clan that settled on Ryloth. As she grew up, she and her clan would become bounty hunters. Eventually, she would connect with other Mandalorian clans scattered throughout the galaxy. We would see Mandalorians of different species. The Twilek would become the leader of these diverse Mandalorians. 
          Eventually, she would challenge Bo-Katan to a duel for the Darksaber, which she would win. 
          The Mandalorian Twilek would then become Mandalore, the necromancer, because she was able to resurrect Mandalorian culture.
          She would lead the scattered Mandalorians around the galaxy and recruit many more to her culture. Once she had obtained funds through smuggling, she would lead a holy war campaign against the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant (eventually the First Order). 
          
          There, she would face a young officer, Armitage Hux, and Padawan Ben Solo.
          
          In the end, Mandalore the necromancer would be defeated by a combination of the young officers of the Imperial Remnant and Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy.
          Ben Solo would kill the Mandalorian Twilek under Snoke's influence, hastening his fall to the dark side.
          
          This war would serve to give battle experience to the young officers of the Imperial Remnant, as well as to Ben Solo.
          
          This war would also discredit the New Republic, making it appear weak, while exposing the corruption and incompetence of the old officers of the Imperial Remnant.
          Many citizens would come to admire the empire's iron fist, and the young officers led by Snoke would stage a coup, thus creating the First Order.

So, you may have seen that I have a new White Fang character called Niles Fenrir? Yeah, I know, edgy name, but it suits him. He's not a major villain like Adam or Cinder, he's more of a supporting villain, but that doesn't take away his brutality. He's also more mysterious as barely anyone knows what he looks like, but people know he exists due to the violent scenes he leaves behind. His reputation and unknown look has caused him to be given the nickname "Spøkelse" meaning ghost or phantom. 
          Unlike Adam who is more of a commander/soldier, Niles is an assassin who secretely yet violently kills important targets of the White Fang. In a way he's a bit like Tyrian, but less insane, and he's more of an arrogant sociopath than a cackling maniac. He doesn't exactly care for politics and isn't really a leader, simply enjoying killing his people's enemies and spreading his infamy, wanting to use his reputation of a remorseless killer to make the human elite bend to the White Fang's will. If Adam was the monster humans feared in the day, Niles would be the one they feared at night. Adam is the tip of the White Fang iceberg, Niles is the bottom of it. Adam is ruthless, but kills quickly, Niles likes to make his target suffer, to increase their fear of him and the White Fang. You get my point. 
          He's much less sympathetic than Adam, Ilia or Sienna, being more pure evil along the lines of Corsac and Fennec. 
          Weiss is so far the only human who has survived Niles, and now knows what he looks like.

Hey, was doing some brainstorming a while back and was coming up from some scenes between Levi and Tyrian. One of my ideas was for Tyrian to have this big monologue about how he was tortured and had body disfigured. Specifically I’m leaning towards this version of Tyrian to be inspired by Mick Foley, a wrestler from the 90’s who portrayed a character called Mankind. Here’s one of his promo’s, and honestly, some of these lines wouldn’t sound out of place  wing said by Tyrian. Have a look.

Is there any hero that you write as villain, or villain that you write as hero? 
          
          For example. For my fanfic, I'm planning in Ghira being a villain. Basically in this fanfic Kali was a human that died at the hands of the White fang (In this case, Ilia). Ghira would kill Ilia (Since she didn't obtain redemption). 
          
          Ghira would proceed to have a new ideology where he perceives that humans and faunus can't coexist together. So for both to live and prosper, he desires to divide them. That is, make the faunus live in Menagerie. In this fanfic, Menagerie is the richest land in Dust. 
          
          Ghira then makes the **Black fang**, an organization composed by faunus that share his mentality and want to force the faunus to go to Menagerie, or at least convince them. 
          
          Ghira, then allied with some rogue elements of the society to create his dream. 
          For example. He allies with the racist Cordovin since she also wants to force faunus to go to Menagerie. He allies with the villains of RWBY: Arrowfell. And he also allies with Roman Torchwick (in my fanfic, he is the leader of Spider and survived the fall of Beacon). 
          
          He opposes Ruby's group and Salem at the same time. 
          
          But tell me, do you do something similar?

What importance do you give to the criminal underworld? 
          
          Yep, I returned. Leaving the subject we all know ASIDE. 
          
          I wanted to ask about this. For example, I read a post on reddit about what if Roman became the leader of Spider. For example, after the death of Lil' Miss Malachite before the beginning of the series. Or surviving the fall of Beacon, with Melanie and Miltia dying, with Lil Miss Malachite dying at the hands of Winter... Then, Roman would return to Mistral and become the leader of Spider. 
          
          I was thinking in that scenario. He could have saved Adam in Haven, preventing the White fang from being trapped. 
          Spider could have also been a source of resources for White fang. 
          
          Let's remember that Lil' Miss Malachite was the second most powerful person of the kingdom (Only behind Leonardo). With Spider and Leonardo under her control, Salem could do a lot of damage. 
          
          As a matter of fact, Adam, Roman and Leonardo together could have enough power to make a revolution. 
          Just think: With his attack Adam forces the council to declare state of emergency. The faunus get enraged by that, the White fang recruits them. 
          With Spider and the White fang receiving information from Leonardo, they strike in the kingdom's bases. 
          And at the end, they manage to overthrow the government. Of course, Leonardo would sign a treaty giving the political power to the White fang. 
          
          Roman could then become the leader of the new mistralian underworld. 
          
          But, those are only my ideas. What importance do you give to that elements. 
          A crime organization is not an army, but we know that they were running things in the slums of the capital for years. Even wearing uniforms. 
          And in Vale, they controlled the Dust market. 
          
          Roman could corner the Dust market and become the main supplier, giving resources to the White fang and distributing that to their supporters.

How do you guys write bigoted characters? I mean, for example, human supremacist characters? How empathetic do you make them? 
          
          For example, I have Helene Braune. The leader of the Human Fraternity. A terrorist human supremacist organization. Since they replace the role of the White fang during the first volumes, Helene Braun allies with Cinder and her minions. 
          She let her troops be commanded by Roman Torchwick. 
          Her troops liberated Grimm in Vale during the Breach. And they released Grimm into the Academy.
          
          She replaces the role of the White fang Lieutenant. She fights Weiss in the train, telling her about how (From her point of view) her family (The Schnee) are race traitors. Since Jacques made deals with a faunus who was the city council manager of Vale. Yes, in this scenario the human fraternity is so fanatical that they consider people like Jacques "faunus-lovers". 
          
          Helene Braun also participated in the fall of Beacon, she fought against students and Atlas soldiers. At the end, she was executed by Adam Taurus. (Who was also secretly allied with Cinder). 
          
          Helene Braun was once a victim of an abusive faunus stepfather who hurt her. That's why she doesn't like faunus. Or better said, she doesn't want the faunus to have power over her ever again. 
          When she joined the police department, she found herself under a faunus officer. After receiving her first paycheck, she resigned from the police, killed the faunus officer and disappeared. Before that, she burned her house and took the money of the insurance. 
          With that money, she funded Human Fraternity once she joined them. 
          
          When Adam finally killed her, she had flashbacks of her stepfather abusing her. 
          
          Her original plan was to create such a toxic scenario that would force the faunus of Vale to go to Menagerie. 
          
          Her semblance allows her to get stronger as much as she gets angry. Her knuckles (The ones of her gloves) have fire dust.

Well... The Half Life subreddit just went insane. Poor bastards overdosed on hopium.

The First Prologue has been published.

The Human Nationalist League:
          Formed: Unknown
          Current Leader: Jason Tidal
          Ideology: Far-right, Human supremacism, anti-faunus sentiment, authoritarianism, Vale Nationalism. 
          Allegiance: 3rd party faction, not aligned with the Academies, but not working with Cinder's group. 
          Description: Originally starting off as a violent, rascist street gang, the Human Nationalist League would attempt to become seen as a legitimate political entity by using "Peaceful" marches, posters and grand speeches to get their message across instead of words. This was done under Jason Tidal, a young yet pursuasive and dramatic speaker, who personally leads the marches across Vale. Don't let this mistake you, despite being accepted as a political party, they are still street thugs at heart and often engage in street brawls with faunus and human counter-protestors. Infamously known for placing razors behind propaganda stickers so if someone tries to tear the sticker down, they will get cut. The reason they haven't been banned is because there are several rich humans with connection to Vale politicans keeping them from being banned. 
          Despite this, mainstream politics in Vale don't like them but also fear they're growing popularity. The HNL take advantage of White Fang attacks to boost their popularity, as well as conspiracy theories that faunus are carrying diseases. 
          One of the League's biggest opponents other than faunus political groups, is Headmaster Ozpin of Beacon who has used his position as councilor to prevent the League from growing further, fearing that their anger may draw more Grimm attacks across Vale and cause relations between humans and faunus in Vale to fall further. 
          
          Here's a the group that appears in my newest story, the ones inspired by the real life National Front. They will appear occasionally in my stories, often to show the rascism against faunus more explicitly and to increase political tension in Vale.

An idea of ​​a faction replacing the White Fang during the first few volumes.
          
          I don't mean replacing them completely, just during the first three volumes in terms of the actions they take. In this case, Cinder approached Adam Taurus and recruited him and the White Fang.
          But she also approached Helene Braun, the leader of the human supremacist organization Human Fraternity.
          
          They would be the ones who helped Roman steal Dust.
          Why does Human Fraternity do this? The Vale council manager is a Faunus who made deals with the SDC.
          Human Fraternity hates Jacques and the Vale government for allying with Faunus.
          
          Remember that Vale is a kingdom with low levels of racism.
          They would even be the ones who released Grimm in Vale City, as well as in Breach. In general, you could compare them to real-life supremacist groups.
          
          However, everything changes with the fall of Vale. There, the Human Fraternity releases Grimm in Beacon in order to overthrow Ozpin and the rest of the Vale government.
          But Adam and the White Fang also appear.
          
          Adam appears and murders all the members of the Human Fraternity along with his soldiers.
          
          So Adam also participates in the fall of Beacon.
          Cinder and Adam's plan was to let the Human Fraternity act freely, so that later the White Fang could appear, kill them, and present themselves as the heroes.
          
          Obviously, only Adam and a few other White Fang officers would know the truth about this scheme. Few would know that Roman and the Human Fraternity were allies of Cinder.
          In fact, after the fall of Beacon, Adam would be in charge of exterminating the remnants of the Human Fraternity in Vale.
