Author's note:
And so the inevitable "chaos gods go to beacon" part of the story emerges.
The reason is because this is a FanFic, and that is presumably why anyone is reading this.
The in-universe explanation is that:
Only Tzeentch is really enjoying this whole country building thing, since the violent part is over and the only real thing for any of them to do is allow a certain amount of time to pass before they do anything.
Being in human form means they lose less precious energy to the cold vacuum of the void, and making a body with built-in powers means that no additional energy is required.
The reason they aren't going to be behaving in their 40k way is because that would be really tedious.
Let me quote the wiki for Khorne:
"Khorne is the Blood God, Lord of Rage, Taker of Skulls. He is wrath incarnate, the embodiment of a never-ending lust to dominate and destroy. It is his sole desire to drown the galaxy in a tide of slaughter, to conquer and kill every living thing until there is nothing left but spilt blood and shattered bone."
"His every word is a growl of endless fury, and his roars of bloodlust echo across his realm."
Can you see the problem with making this an interesting character?
So, my reasoning is thus:
The reason they are like this is because they are the product of humanity.
They are composed of our darkest desires, and were created by the worst period of our history.
The world of RWBY is very different.
Grimm are the product of negative emotions, so the government presumably has more thought policing going on than the USSR.
The world has like 4 cities, and some tiny settlements here and there.
So the population must be TINY, meaning there simply wasn't enough anger, lust, scheming or fear to sustain the original Ruinous Powers.
That doesn't mean they would completely change, I mean come on, but that would force either their inevitable self-destruction or a change of perspective.
Think of it in terms of a rich brat that suddenly finds themselves broke.
They either become a different person and adapt to their environment, or destroy themselves.
To that end, this story.
These brats have decided that they are going to adapt and survive no matter what.
Does that mean Khorne is going to turn into Ghandi? No.
Does it mean he will be able to string a sentence together, and know when straight up murdering everyone in the room would be counterproductive if he wants his eternity of bloodshed?
Yes.
Thank you for reading, I will try to make a suitably impressive arrival chapter.
