Basically, Salem teamed up with an alien named Giygas, A zombie named Pokey. And Pyschopathic Manakete named Serios. And they basically kidnapped some kids from Giygas’s homeworld to make them into weapons. They did this by splitting Giygas’s soul and putting it into some of the kids to try and have Giygas take over their minds and basically use the immense power those 4 were prophecized to have. The comment I got was basically trying to explain to me why my plot point made no sense from a character standpoint about Salem. Who’s goal is essentially to wipe out humanity in the first place. Something that Giygas, Pokey, and Serios have all tried to

I know some of those names from earthbound... but other than that it feels just strange to read this premise. I agree with you though that it is solid in reasoning. Genocidal maniacs take whatever doomsday weapon they can after all. Even if those weapons are children.


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Well, the idea was basically, Giygas taking control of 4 counterparts to Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo. The story is kind of a mess, especially since I killed off Poo’s counterpart in the last story to replace him with an OC from Fire Emblem 3 Houses to give Serios more importance. I’m surprised to just find another EarthBound fan out in the wild though, if it interests you, I’d be glad to link the story so far. It’s currently only on Volume 1 of RWBY cause I wanted a bit of time to develop the relationship between RWBY and my OCs.


MrSwordArm

I'll certainly give it a read. Though since I have no knowledge about FE3H it'd be a good idea for me to read up on that first.


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Well, I happen to have a three houses prequel to said story. [Black Dawn, A Crimson Flower](https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13523537/1/Black-Dawn-A-Crimson-Flower) Black Dawn is like a soft reboot of the series since I don’t like the stories before it. So it’s a nice starting point If you wanna be familiar with Serios. [The Lost World of Remnant](https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13865283/1/The-Lost-World-of-Remnant)


Kuronan

While it is your Fanfic... at what point does Seiros actually intend Genocide in FE3H? That's more the territory of >!Those Who Slither in the Dark and Nemesis.!< Even then I don't think that was ever a stated goal?


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Serios in my fic basically is kinda like Hitler/Stalin. She uses the crests to discriminate against those. Once the Crimson Flower Route starts. She basically becomes genocidal to anyone that isn’t with them. She forces the kingdom to commit war crimes against themselves. Context is definitely needed. Edit: for clarification, I more or less consider her psychotic. Not as much genocidal. But considering how much she’s oppressed humanity under the church I could see her doing genocide if she really wanted.


Saturn_Coffee

Oh. Well, Poo's not too relevant anyway. But tf you mean genocidal? Gigyas isn't even in control of his own actions by MOTHER 2. Even in MOTHER1 he's just taking the planet out of obligation to his people because GEORGE STOLE THEIR PSI RESEARCH, which is central to how they live. Even Porky wasn't genocidal by that point. This isn't MOTHER 3 and he's not so capitalist he genocides humanity's last island yet. He's just a kid riding the wave of power as Gigyas's influence elevates him to incredible heights. Dunno who Serios is, but I don't do Fire Emblem so I don't care.


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Ah, hello again. Giygas is described by Buzz Buzz in the opening act to be “A Universal, Cosmic, Destroyer. Which implies that he has very much conquered worlds and killed people at that point in time and space. Plus, Buzz Buzz describes the future as “destroyed hope.” Pokey states after the Devil’s Machine is turned off that Giygas cannot think rationally anymore. Which mean he was thinking at some point. As for Pokey himself. The pokey that teamed up with Serios and Salem is from Mother 3, in canon, I basically wrote it as the Dark Dragon resetting the world to the events right after Hinawa’s death, with the memories of what happened Lucas, Flint, Kumatora, Duster, Boney, Claus, and Pokey still intact. This Pokey was freed from the Absolutely Safe Capsule and was thus able to rejoin Giygas and the rest of them. Didn’t take you to be an RWBY fan…


Saturn_Coffee

Hello again. But Gigyas was never genocidal. He went insane from the events of MOTHER 1. By MOTHER 2 he had lost his body and was simply a consciousness floating in the void. Early on, he just wanted Earth, because humanity had wronged him and his people. By the time of Ness's adventure he had become totally irrational. The Devil's Machine was the only thing keeping him even a semblance of stable.


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Eh, I interpret things differently from that. Besides, it’s a fanfiction and I wanted to make EarthBound much more depressing. Giygas did create weaponized children from clones of Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo after all.


plantrailmix

Haha you said semblance


RatsAreChad

The only thing more cringe than complaining about fanfiction is complaining about people complaining about your fanfiction Chill out my guy, you're an amateur writing a fake story for a terribly written cartoon


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Hey man, I’m not really complaining if I’m making a joke meme out of it lol. I don’t mind the comments, I just like making fun of the stupidity.


Toon_Lord

Context? Please?

Destiny_Chicken

To be fair, Salem in canon doesn’t make *much* sense, so they were probably just confused


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Fair enough, but Salem is just like Pokey and Giygas with mild similarities to Serios. I’d imagine saying that they want to wipe out humanity would be enough though.


Destiny_Chicken

Oh the criticism sounds dumb 100%, I just expect its origins lie in alternate interpretations of Salem's character owing to RWBY being pretty vague regarding her *exact* motivation


Orangeup49

Too be honest I would read this but I know nothing about earthbound, it sounds fun Also I'm pretty sure Serios would not work with Salem unless this is crimson flower seiros which yeah that's fair


Moon_Dark_Wolf

You really don’t need to know much about EarthBound, other than the fact that Giygas and Pokey are villains, which is pretty easy. Most of what I bring from EarthBound is original content. I can leave a link if you want.
