Quiet Minds Event Plotting Post
What are your plans for the upcoming event? Are you going to have your characters infected? Or are your plans more along the lines of getting that sweet bounty? Perhaps you've got something else in mind.. Announce them here, get in on someone else's or get someone new involved!
Don't forget to review the questions other players have asked or ask your own!
Also don't forget to check-in if you haven't already!

I GUESS BREAKS FIRST???
NEGATIVE
Bad!Weiss is going to be the Weiss with the anger issues, destructive-level ambition like in vol. 1, refusing to listen to the advice of others, thinks more of herself than others, controlling, the spoiled parts basically where she believes she can get whatever she wants... Especially if you look at season one, Weiss is really similar to her father in some ways. It's the good parts that balance her out and the character development that's made her come so far. She's also really smart which is neither positive nor negative, so both sides are going to be smart, which means negative attributes + being clever (at least when it counts, not with word play) uh... Honestly, I feel like she'd be able to figure out what happened fairly quickly and feel like she doesn't deserve to be stuck in some foster home for school dropouts after the bad guys took her home from her, that she deserves to have SDC and be treated like she's More Than. BC if you look at volume 1, she's clearly had Thoughts. "I may not be perfect, but I'm still leagues better than you." was kind of a telling sign that at least until she learned otherwise and learned things like empathy and teamwork and a load of positive traits yes, she did think she was better. I'm not going to have the racism deal be an issue because that was more or less bred of ignorance and not a personality trait.
So for me I think the important part is to decide what her negative side is going to be doing, because what she has now is because of that aggressive ambition, but put in check by her more positive traits. Which means without all the positive ones to put that in check... Weiss could be a pretty dangerous person, particularly given in-game events that have already made her a little less stable and a lot angrier without being able to really accept criticism.
POSITIVE
Positive!Weiss is tricky because while her negative traits are, well, negative.. a lot of them help to give her outlets for things and are good when informed by her more positive attributes. That aggressive ambition helps her want to do things when it's kept in check and illuminated by what i believe to be the positive side of her ambition, things like a sense of honor and wanting to respect the love she feels
for her family, her ability to work well with others, and her continual want to become a better person. Her ability to empathize with others is another thing, which she had to develop after sometime (highlighted most when instead of defending her family name like she had from blake in volume 1, she apologized to Flynt in volume 3). She can be self-sacrificing in a lot of ways, always putting the team first from volume 2 onward. She literally takes a fall instead of moving for a landing because she's using the time to cast a glyph for Blake in one of the fights, then very literally jumps into the fire to protect Yang in the fight against Flynt.
Then lord does it get complicated when it comes to her self-worth versus her self-respect because of her father. Weiss respects herself a lot because she knows what it feels like not to be respected- if she doesn't force herself to accept her own worth, no one will. Her sister helps support this in canon but, especially in Genessia, she's had a lot of incidences that have chipped away at that confidence. Without some of her "negative" traits that have been allowing her to fight through it because of her attitude of 'don't be stupid, you deserve better than this Weiss' and some aspects of her controlling nature help her to really fight back when she lacks control, that lack of self-confidence she's had lately is going to bite Positive-Weiss in the ass. Without her controlling traits, Weiss is going to feel like a lot of things are out of her control. It's not going to have a great effect on her self-confidence either when in conjunction with most of her anger being fuel to try to prove that she's worth more. Honestly, positive!Weiss might act a little more submissive as well, like how she yielded immediately to Blake in volume 3 when things started going badly instead of trying to take charge (her leadership abilities have been honed in a different direction here in Genessia, but not necessarily in all positive ways). She'll certainly have a better sense of justice and right/wrong and respect for others and their feelings/opinions though.
PLANNED THINGS:
-Bad!Weiss is going to hire Mercury as a Deputy Guardian despite objections from her current deputies because bad!Weiss thinks she knows best and thinks her idea to only act as a team is a stupid waste of her time.
-Bad!Weiss may think her opinion is more important and she's better and that good!Weiss has proven to be weak and has only lost everything she cares about bit by bit. She's going to want to make sure that she can't take the cure, which means she's going to want to find a way to keep good!Weiss from taking it because good!Weiss will know that her unchecked negative attributes are bad for everyone and want to fix it even if she personally benefits from her actions.
-Good!Weiss is forgiving. The past is the past, and she might be able to start moving on from certain things even if she's not about to put anyone who's still a threat on the good-to-go path, it'll at least help her. Because not letting go of things is having a negative impact on her moreso than anyone else, and being able to do that will probably put things in perspective for her later.
-MAYBE: What if Bad!Weiss just takes her money out of the current house and gets her own place that's really fucking nice?? Maybe Whitley can come she wants to keep an eye on him idk. Winter can come. Keep it in the family.
IDK PLOT WITH ME i kind of want weiss to do something intense / big but i'm not sure what

and merc would get over it
but weiss is the one who would probably be most fucked up by anything happening so what would YOU like to be done with this information
no subject
weiss would probably just be really grossed out and embarrassed later but tbh it wouldn't be the worst thing she's going to do so i'm ok with it. she will just constantly glare at him any time he implies or hints at anything after this. and i could logic it with weiss that she has decided she can have whatever she wants tbh and if he's flirting with her first she could decide that she wants him 8}
no subject
but the pants stay above the knees
no subject
and then wherever good weiss is at the time she's going to shudder because she feels a disturbance in everything that's good and holy probably
no subject
... even good merc isn't going to feel bad if he learns about it, really. honestly once this is all said and done and memories of both sides kind of come back together merc is just gonna be like "oh. well that's neato"

I can see this maybe a tense and driven a wedge between the two friends and former teammates. Friendship turned rivarly??? What say you?

If Ruby doesn't recognize that Weiss fragments don't exist without the other and you want them to be more adversarial, that's fine with me though! Though Weiss already doesn't really see Ruby as her bff anymore in Genessia (like for reals, she's been here 3 years it isn't like Ruby even knows her anymore) so it could be interesting to play with.
no subject
Oooh, this will end up in a rivalry by the looks of things.
Genessia = AU!badtimeline for the RWBY cast.I'm all for Ruby confronting bad!Weiss, and then confusing her with good!Weiss depending what Weiss posts to the comm. But then when things go back to normal, Ruby will try to forgive Weiss after she becomes whole and might figure out later, it's a fragment of each other and will say sorry.Yeah, I figured. 3 years gap. Anyway! Bad!Weiss can be mean to Ruby, so the way I see it, she can be verbally abusive and be frustrated to her, like she sees Ruby extremely naive and childish?
Nobody told her what happened to the RWBY cast last summer with the murder/torture plot shhh...Re: I GUESS BREAKS FIRST???

GoodWeiss could try to hide there one night after badWeiss decides something needs to be done about her. Though you can bet BadWeiss knows where GoodWeiss would go so it probably won't help much. I'm also not sure if GoodWeiss would actually make it there or not since there are plans for BadJaune to get ahold of her.
no subject
If GoodWeiss makes it, BadJaune can hurt Mayu.
