The Ransom Trilogy - Tumblr Posts

Thinking of my Megacrossover events; The Order of Cair Paravel

One Saga, involving RWBY, BlazBlue, Skullgirls, Bionicle, Skeleton Knight in Another World, Code Geass, Fate, D.Gray-Man and a few others which focus on original characters, notably one is the granddaughter of Susan Pevensie and her love interest who is an American dude who's a bit of satire of New Hollywood movies of the 1980s and set in mostly our world which shares the Fate World and references many 1980 films such as Ghostbusters and The Goonies and is all about fighting disenchantment and uses Chronicles of Narnia as a basis

Then there's another saga that involves the bully of the American character's school finding redemption involving Lies of P, Alice Madness Returns, Bioshock and a few others but uses The Ransom Trilogy and bits of The Silver Chair, even involves worlds including world of Fritz Lang's metropolis and overarching themes of the horrors and evils of scientism and modernity

Both involve evil Cults/Secret societies who are under the influence of "The Bent One" aka The Devil

Listening to CS Lewis’s Ransom Trilogy, the Eldila and Oyéresu are basically Invisible Space Maiar and Valar and the Old Solar language is CS Lewis’s version of Elvish

Maleldil, blessed be He!

Sci Fi concept: the aliens come to earth, first contact and all that, and when asked why they came, they say they're on pilgrimage because they wanted to see the planet where their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, lived

I can’t believe that in Perelandra the Oyarsa seriously told Ransom

“Take comfort in your smolness”

RWBY: Saints of Remnant notes: Spectulative Theology

WARNING: CONTAINS TOPICS OF RELIGION, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Now anyone who has been following my blog is well aware I am a Catholic and my reimagined RWBY AU, RWBY: Saints of Remnant, is set in the Narnia Multiverse.

Why I did this was because I felt the best way to incorporate my faith into RWBY was to turn to the likes of CS Lewis and learn to think like him.Not that I consider myself on par with him or the rest of the Inklings.

Supposed Remnant was another world created by God in the same multiverse as Narnia/The Space Trilogy, and The Triune God(The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit) revealed himself there, what would that look like? How would it change the nature of Remnant?

Which I came to several conclusions

Humans and Faunus, like Humans in Narnia, are descended from Humans from Earth's past who had stumbled into it by God's will

Things like Aura, Semblance, the existence of Faunus, Dust, are a configuration of Deep Magic of this world

Christ and The Holy Spirit appear in this world by different appearances and different names and The Father created Remnant through Christ as he is the creator(Colossians 1:16)

The Grimm given their nature must exist as some kind of Satanic force within this world and are connected to the fallen nature of Humans and Faunus

So I will go into each one briefly so let's start with the first one

This one is plainly obvious given the setting Im implying its set in, humans and faunus are descended from Humans from Earth. To be exact humans around the world dating from the days of the Roman Empire up to the late Victorian Era/Gilded Age during times of war, exploration, and persecution.

Remnant itself, formerly known as Omnibus, is older than Narnia but younger than Charn. And it's also set after The Last Battle so Narnia is long gone by the start of the story. But it should be noted the Ragnarok War which shattered the world takes place at the same time as The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

Second. Deep Magic

As I understand it, Deep Magic in Narnia is basically the Supernatural Law of each universe which is in different configurations in each world and thus have different results.

For Remnant's case, Deep Magic would probably be responsible for the odd hair colors of people, it would transform some humans into faunus(thus making them Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve, an offshoot race of humans), and giving both the potential of semblance and aura. And the Maidens and Wizard(who are among a total pantheon of 13 individuals in this AU) are of a deeper magic.

3. How God(The Father,The Son, and Holy Spirit) reveals himself in Remnant

This is obvious, I tried to do what CS Lewis did and come up with a supposed incarnation of Christ/Aslan in Remnant, and borrowing ideas from @vitamaeternum

I present The Storyteller(art done by @magiesheartlove)

sent by the mysterious Author Allfather to "tell" Omnibus into existence and proceeding from The Author Allfather through The Storyteller an entity known as The Ink of Life which works a lot like Aslan's Breath.

4.The Nature of Grimm and the connection to Original Sin and the nature of evil

We all know Grimm are drawn to negativity and how they are soulless abominations.

What if the Grimm are a manifestation of original sin that Satan and his horde of demons use to ravage and corrupt Remnant?

St. Augustine of Hippo describes Evil as privatio boni, evil exists as a corruption, negation, or absence of Good for Good is substantial while evil is not. It exists only as some kind of sickness, a cavity in your tooth, the hunger of an empty stomach, a festering wound, a black hole.

And I will go into this when I explore grimmified humans and faunus, The Grimmborne.

But basically Remnant is a wounded world, the Grimm exist as a corruption/negation of creation that festers in said wounded world and has increased after the Ragnarok, and the negativity from sin, corruption of the four kingdoms, and the tragedy of the increasing death rate of hunters exacerbates it("Always Winter, and never Christmas!")

I don't want to reveal too much, but I wanted to give you all a taste of what I have in mind.

RWBY AU: Looking for talent for a think tank!

"Moved with music--measureless the waves'  Joy and jubilee. It is JOVE's orbit,

Filled and festal, faster turning  With arc ampler.

From the Isles of Tin  Tyrian traders, in trouble steering 

Came with his cargoes; the Cornish treasure  That his ray ripens.

Of wrath ended  And woes mended, of winter passed  And guilt forgiven, and good fortune 

Jove is master; and of jocund revel,  Laughter of ladies. The lion-hearted,  The myriad-minded, men like the gods,  Helps and heroes, helms of nations  Just and gentle, are Jove's children,  Work his wonders.

On his white forehead  Calm and kingly, no care darkens 

Nor wrath wrinkles: but righteous power  And leisure and largess their loose splendours  Have wrapped around him--a rich mantle  Of ease and empire." - CS Lewis, The Planets

Once there was a world by the name of Omnibus. Created by the supreme deity The Author Allfather through the mysterious entity The Storyteller who brought in people from The Other World to inhabit and are whom the humans and Faunus are descended.

Omnibus was composed of four holy and mighty kingdoms, ruled by The Storyteller's Patron Saints whose reign protected the people, human and faunus alike, with their mighty armies and hunters from barbarian hordes, and the hordes of The Grimm who were the blight of the world and extensions of the will of the fallen being Grimmel The Black and his fellow fallen angels

In the dreadful world-shattering war of Ragnarök, the glorious age of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, and the days of Romance, Heroism Adventure, and Eucatastrophe came to a tragic end.

Now all that remains is the world that is Remnant

But there is a prophecy made by Ozma The First Time Wizard before his death, that one day the bloodlines of the original Patron Saints and the families betrothed to them will return to take up these powers, rally armies of the righteous, vanquish the darkness and restore the holy kingdoms and Omnibus and reign over them once more.

Sinners will become Saints

Curses will be broken

Legends shall be restored and new Legends will be born

And what was a Remnant, Shall Be Whole Again.

But until then, the Hunters lead a struggling battle against the Grimm while the modern kingdoms suffer under corruption of all kinds, both to the benefit of darker forces who have horrifying intentions for the world.

Cue Ruby Rose and her older half-sister Yang Xiao Long, they are about to enter Beacon Academy after being approved by the eccentric Professor Ozpin Pine along with the heiress Weiss Schnee and the introverted faunus Blake Belladonna forming team RWBY

Ozpin has also enrolled a few other students and transferred others.

The former forming team JNPR, and the latter being Team SSSN of Haven Academy

Ozpin seems to have his eye on all of them, but what for?

Inspired by CS Lewis's works, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Ransom Trilogy,

The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe and That Hideous Strength in particular, as well as the book Planet Narnia by Michael Ward(which I highly recommend to all Narnians)

This reimagined RWBY AU takes the world of Remnant, puts it into the Narnia multiverse, new directions with it's ideas and concepts to tell a different story

A story of faith, hope, courage, re-enchantment, the passing of the sorrowful winter and the coming of the joyous summer.

I'm working on this project, and as I have many ideas and a big picture, I am stumped. So I'm opening a think tank!

Looking for writers

editors

Artists(character, vehicle, background, and architecture designs, concepts, scenes, weapons, etc.)

The format will be a visual format, and audio drama with static images akin to Fixing RWBY by Celtic Pheonix, something akin to a visual novel if that's a good comparison

This project is rated PG-13 for It will have intense violence, brief strong language, partial nudity, and mild drug and alcohol use.

All who apply will be given access to my discord.

Audition for me either with the link if you have a CastingCallClub Account or DM me here on Tumblr!
