Maybe the fanfic could explore the concept of the bonfires in Dark Souls in the RWBY universe. The characters could find special areas that act like bonfires, where they can rest, regain health, and upgrade their weapons. They could also meet strange characters at these bonfire - like places, similar to the NPCs in Dark Souls who give quests or useful information.
One idea could be that the characters from RWBY are transported into the Dark Souls universe. They have to adapt to the harsh and unforgiving world, facing the difficult enemies and complex level designs. For example, Ruby could use her scythe skills in the Dark Souls combat system, but find that the enemies are much more resilient than the Grimm she's used to.
One interesting crossover could be the fusion of the unique combat styles. For example, in RWBY, the characters use their weapons in creative ways, and in Dark Souls, the combat is more methodical and strategic. A fanfiction might have Ruby using her scythe in a way that combines the fast - paced attacks from RWBY with the precise timing and dodging required in Dark Souls. Another aspect could be the world - building. The dark and foreboding atmosphere of Dark Souls could seep into the RWBY universe, creating new and dangerous regions. Characters from Dark Souls might find themselves in Beacon Academy, leading to some interesting cultural clashes and exchanges of fighting techniques.
A significant theme is the combination of two different universes' cultures. The RWBY universe has its own set of values and aesthetics, and Dark Souls 3 has its very distinct and often dark and gritty style. In the fanfic, we see how these two clash and blend. For example, the concept of the Maidens in RWBY and how it might interact with the Firelink Shrine in Dark Souls 3. Also, friendship and teamwork are themes as the RWBY characters usually rely on each other in their own series, and in the fanfic, they have to do the same in the new and more challenging Dark Souls 3 setting.
One idea could be a crossover with 'The Lord of the Rings'. Picture the Dark Souls characters in Middle - earth, facing off against orcs and other dark creatures. Another could be a crossover with 'Bloodborne'. The gothic and nightmarish settings of both could blend well, with hunters and Dark Souls' warriors teaming up against a greater evil. A third idea might be a crossover with 'Final Fantasy'. The different magic systems and character classes could create really unique and exciting storylines.
A crossover with 'Final Fantasy' would be cool. The magic systems in both could be combined in interesting ways. For example, a Dark Souls 2 mage could learn some spells from a Final Fantasy character. Also, a crossover with 'The Elder Scrolls' series. The vast open worlds of both could create an amazing setting for the fanfiction. The character could explore different regions of Tamriel and use their Dark Souls 2 abilities to survive.
Well, one aspect is the chance to see the RWBY characters in a different light. In Dark Souls - inspired scenarios, they can show new sides of their personalities. Also, the fanfic writers can play around with the mechanics of both worlds. Like how the Dust in RWBY could interact with the Souls in Dark Souls. It allows for a lot of creative freedom, whether it's in creating new weapons, new enemies, or new storylines that bridge the gap between the two universes. And the dark and often mysterious atmosphere of Dark Souls can add a new layer of depth to the RWBY world.
Sure. In some fanfiction, the unique weapon upgrade and magic systems from Dark Souls could be incorporated into RWBY. Imagine Ruby's scythe being upgraded in a way similar to Dark Souls weapons, with different materials and requirements. It makes for a really cool blend of the two universes.
One idea could be a fanfic that explores the backstories of minor characters in RWBY more deeply. For example, you could focus on a character like Velvet and create a story about her training before coming to Beacon. Another could be a crossover within the RWBY universe itself, like a team-up between different schools' teams that we haven't seen much of in the official series.
One great 'rwby and dark souls fanfic' is 'The Grimm Souls'. It combines the unique world - building of RWBY with the challenging and dark atmosphere of Dark Souls. The characters from RWBY are placed in situations inspired by Dark Souls, like facing tough bosses that are remixed versions of Grimm creatures. Another interesting one is 'Souls of Remnant' which focuses on how the mechanics of Dark Souls, such as leveling up and finding special items, could work in the RWBY universe. It has some really cool crossovers of RWBY characters using Dark Souls - like weapons and magic.
There is a fanfic named 'RWBY's Journey in Dark Souls 3'. In this, the RWBY team finds themselves in the world of Dark Souls 3. They have to face the tough bosses and learn the ways of that world. The author does a great job of portraying the RWBY characters' growth as they struggle in this new and dangerous environment.
