Tales from Within: expanded stories from RWBY Within

by GryffenofSannGal

Yet another expansion to the crossover series from DrAmish, RWBY Within. More or less, these are postings of logs and other materials from the REMCOM RPG site. With permission from the author himself, these logs range from semi-canon to canon. These stories may shed some insight of the vast, untapped universe of a world of an Enemy Unknown and the world of bloody evolution.

1. Welcome Within

Even with the best, most loved, and complete stories, there's usually a part within us that wonders if there was more to the story. After all, we followed the journey of the protagonists, knowing well that there are other people and other perspectives. Sometimes we don't have the chance to learn more about this fictional world we've come to love. Sometimes we do. This is one of the times we do.

If you've gotten this far, odds are you've discovered the wonderfully bizarre creation of Dr. Amish, RWBY Within. While not perfect, most fans agree it's an excellent merging of two fictional worlds which normally just wouldn't work. This time it did. One of the core reasons is the good doctor found what is the heart both stories share and weaved them together, and that was the determination to stand up for those you love, to fight against all odds and find the strength within to overcome. If you haven't found this story yet, go do so. Look up RWBY Within, Tales from the Anthill, and Remnant Unknown – in that order. I recommend setting aside at least a few nights and getting a few dozen beverages and snacks of your choice. You're going to need it.

That brings us here. As the mutual joy and comradery built around Remnant Unknown, the fandom wanted more. Early 2018, the REMCOM site went live. It's definitely been lively. Remnant Unknown's author, DrAmish, has gone on record several times to say this site alone has inspired and improved his storytelling even more. Thank you, Doctor. The fans are just paying back the love. But what about the months before Team RWBY blundered through the dimensional portal? What about all of those who imagine LIVING in XCOM/REMCOM? We present Tales from Within, logs from the REMCOM online RPG.

What will be found here are polished up logs of roleplay and more from the REMCOM RPG site. They'll be rough. There's no way around it. Will they be the best writing, or the most grammatically way to tell a story? No. However, like the world of XCOM itself, it's live, unfiltered, and given life by the spontaneous people who willing delve into it. The stories within will be considered semi-canon at least. Not everything will be accepted as lore, but even at the time this introduction is posted, a few elements from these log have been embraced as canon.

In conclusion, we invite you to sit down and indulge in the raw lore that will flesh out a beloved world. If you're really daring, we invite you to strap into the Skyranger and face the invasion head on. Who knows? Maybe you will provide an answer to a bit of information not fully clarified.
