Horror is a very common theme. Given that the source material is a horror game, fanfictions often aim to maintain that spooky atmosphere. There are lots of jump scares and descriptions of terrifying creatures.
Another theme is the exploration of the psychological aspects. 'The Evil Within' is known for its psychological horror elements. In fanfiction, OCs may be used to further explore the psychological effects of the nightmare world on different characters, how they deal with fear, insanity, etc.
Well, it could be about the RWBY characters getting trapped in a world similar to that of 'The Evil Within'. Maybe they have to face their own inner demons and fears while also dealing with the nightmarish creatures from the game. For example, Ruby might struggle with her fear of not being able to protect her friends in this new and terrifying environment.
Blending the different horror themes is difficult. 'The Evil Within' has its own style of horror, like the distorted environments and the menacing creatures. When crossing over with another horror franchise, like 'Fatal Frame', you have to find a balance so that neither's horror element overshadows the other and they work together to create a new, cohesive horror experience.
One challenge is maintaining the tone of both franchises. The Evil Within has its own unique brand of psychological horror, and when crossing it with another, like say, Outlast, you have to make sure not to lose that essence. For example, the lighting and sound cues that create the creepy atmosphere in The Evil Within need to be incorporated well with the asylum - based horror of Outlast.
Ruvik in fanfiction is often portrayed as even more complex than in the game. His past traumas are usually explored in more depth, which can sometimes make his actions seem more understandable. Sebastian, on the other hand, may be shown with more internal conflict. He's not just the tough detective; he might struggle more with the moral implications of his actions in the face of Ruvik's chaos. For example, he could question whether Ruvik is truly evil or just a victim of his own circumstances.
It depends on how you define 'popular'. In the vast world of Harry Potter fanfiction, there are so many different sub - genres. 'Evil within' fanfiction likely has a dedicated group of readers who are drawn to the exploration of the seedier, more malevolent aspects of the story. But compared to the more well - known types like Hogwarts - era romances or new magical adventures, it probably has a smaller but passionate audience.
Obviously, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang would be main characters. They are the core of RWBY. Ruby with her speed and scythe skills would be crucial in any fight. Weiss, with her ice powers, could freeze some of the terrifying enemies from 'The Evil Within'.
The relationship in 'The Evil Within' Ruvik x reader fanfiction is often full of tension. Ruvik's dark past and his powers make him a difficult character to approach. The reader, on the other hand, might be brought into his world against their will. This creates a dynamic where the reader is constantly adapting to Ruvik's presence. It could be a relationship based on fear, curiosity, or even a strange form of sympathy as the reader gets to know more about what made Ruvik who he is.
Well, in 'The Evil Within' fanfiction, Ruvik and Sebastian's relationship is open to a lot of interpretations. Ruvik is the one who creates the nightmarish world that Sebastian has to navigate through. Some fanfictions may show Ruvik as having a strange fascination with Sebastian, while Sebastian is just trying to survive and stop Ruvik's madness. It could also be that in some stories, there is a potential for a more symbiotic relationship, where they are both trapped in a cycle that they can't break without each other, though this is a very different take from the original game's more straightforward 'good vs. evil' dynamic.
