RWBY

RWBY is an upcoming original series headed by Monty Oum, slated for release sometime in 2013. Both he and Shane Newville, who was recently hired, created the concept for the world and characters, as well as animated the show. Monty, Miles Luna, and Kerry Shawcross form the team writing the plot and script. Artist Enilee, whose work was admired by Monty, was enlisted to create the character designs. The first episode is planned for release during RTX

Overview
Currently, not much is known about the show, but the Red trailer shows that monsters, such as werewolves, roam the world and that they must be destroyed. Based on the first character's design, it was presumed that the other 3 main characters will be based on fairy tale characters, but when asked Monty confirms that none of the characters will be based on any fairy tale characters at all. Monty comments that in the RWBY world, the rules for naming is very interesting

Characters

 * Ruby- her character design most resembles Little Red Riding Hood- wields a gun/scythe known as "Crescent Rose"


 * Weiss (name unknown)


 * Black (name unknown)


 * Yellow (name unknown)

Music
The music from the Red trailer will be the theme for the entire show. The song is called "Red Like Roses", compsed by Jeff Williams.

Red Like Roses Lyrics

Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest

White is cold and always yearning, burdened by a royal test

Black the beast descends from Shadows

Yellow beauty burns gold

Writing the Show
The series has gotten its approval during RvB Season 10 crunch time. Burnie said to Monty: "If you finish Season 10, then you can do whatever you want." The show is still being written. In Roosterteeth Podcast 191, Monty confirmed that RWBY will not replace Red vs. Blue and it will be made alongside RvB. He also stated that he had to give Miles and Kerry homework to watch anime to help get an idea of the genre and how the show should work. The inspiration for the world spun off from Monty spraying and mashing ketchup onto a napkin. He describes that as the anarchic force that drives the series.

Trivia

 * In the "Red" trailer, the tombstone reads "Summer Rose/Thus Kindly I Scatter", an allusion to Thomas Moore's poem, The Last Rose of Summer
 * Because of how Red vs. Blue ended and because the trailer was placed right after the credits, many fans assumed RvB finished. However, this is not the case. In podcast 191, Monty, Gus Sorola, and Miles all stated that they will be continuing to make Red vs Blue as long as people are willing to watch it.
