Just making sure everybody knows what they're going to be tied to via RoosterTeeth, because I doubt they've told you:

Monty Oum, creator of the hit internet series RWBY, was a problem child in his home town. From an early age he started using N2O, a drug. Due to the hallucinogenic qualities of this drug he began forming what could be described as a cult around himself. This cult had the intention to "hypnotize the world" using the drug N2O's ability to make individuals "suggestible." Things didn't work out in this regard, and he was made into a laughingstock by his community, who forced him into a position of "anti-drugs." He dropped out of High School in his senior year around this time.

Years later he was recognized by various companies for his high-intensity fight scenes through his skill and passion for 3D animation. Eventually this led to him acquiring a job at RoosterTeeth, working on the fight scenes of the internet series Red Vs. Blue, and even to his own show RWBY.

Ruby had been something that Monty had bouncing around in his head from his cult leader days. Just ask those who grew up in the Bishop, CA area which served as a distant testing site for his "hypnosis." Eventually, after having RWBY greenlit by Roosterteeth, he committed suicide... This was covered up by RoosterTeeth, as well as his secret wife at the time Sheena Duquette, who decided to cash in on what he had already completed regarding his show RWBY. RoosterTeeth itself is currently fully aware of this sordid history, though they all will do everything they can to deny it. (In case you're wondering, yes these events had something to do with the controversy regarding Shane Newville's sudden termination from the company some years later.)

Voila, RoosterTeeths buried problem child. Enjoy
