5. Commentary: Chapter 5

Hey guys. Welcome again to SPHR: Unauthorized. Let's get the commentary for Chapter 5 going, shall we? Oh and as always, please read my fanfic SPHR first if you haven't. This is a commentary for that fanfic.

Chapter 5 begins with Robbie lying on the ground of Forever Fall looking tired after dealing with a pack of Beowolves. Originally I wanted Robbie to test out his new weapon by firing it on some random trees and rock, but then I've realized how boring that's going to be.

This chapter is also my first introduction to my first OC Grimm, Nemean. It is named after the Nemean lion from the Hercules myth. I'm not sure if there's someone out there who've made their OC Grimm based of Nemean, but if there are then I'm not the first one. As for why the Nemean didn't attack Robbie when it has its chance, that's for you to find out in the future chapters. Unlike the Beowolf or Ursa, the Nemean remains on its 4 legs instead of standing on its hind leg from time to time. I want the Nemean to look as animalistic as possible in terms of its forms.

Most fanfic writers of RWBY would often refer to the big and powerful Beowolf as Alpha Beowolf much like how the big and power Ursa is referred to as Ursa Major. Me? For some personal humor I've decided that Robbie will refer to the big Beowolf as 'Big Bad'.

After dealing with Big Bad, we're back to the building where Ruby's apartment at and then introduced to another minor OC Michael Woodsman. If you haven't figured it out yet, he is based of Michael Jones. The name Woodsman is a reference to the Woodsman from The Red Riding Hood story, but that doesn't mean he's also based off the Woodsman himself. He did say that Mr. Woodsman is his dad.

After that Ruby is back from somewhere. We then get a detailed look at Robbie's semblance. I intentionally left the semblance unnamed for the purpose of storytelling. But if you guys have suggestion for the name, I'm open for ideas. So the semblance is inspired by Gambit's power from X-Men. It's nowhere near as powerful or lethal though. The indestructibility part inspired by another power from an anime, which I will not reveal until the team SPHR is formed. You'll understand why.

This chapter's OTR is an e-mail written by the Councilmen. They're not the same Councilmen that we've seen on the last episode of Volume 2. In fact 2 of them are OG characters that you'll recognized. Their identity will be shown soon in the future chapters.
