How RWBY Characters Got Their Names

*Don't be a Black King.*
—Description
**How RWBY Characters Got Their Names** is an episode of Matt Say Yay. In this episode, we see how RWBY characters supposedly got their names.

## Plot

The video starts with Mebius stating the situation they're in: they are in charge of naming the characters for RWBY. First, Mebius shows an orange haired girl with a hammer, which Aribunta proposes the name "Nora," which Mebius accepts. He then shows a girl with long crimson hair and asks Melba what name she has. Melba, not paying attention and playing on her Switch, quickly comes up with the name "Pyrrha" from the name Pyra. Mebius, brushing off Melba's obviously improvised name choice and continuity issues with the game, shows a villain with a bowler hat, the name choice given to Reicubas. Reicubas psychotically suggests names from certain ancient empires, such as Greece, Latin, and Roman. Mebius sticks with "Roman" and shows a yellow haired young man, which Telesdon suggests the name "John", however, Mebius spells it "Jaune" instead, which confuses Telesdon and Astron and Birdon say that it relates to jaundice, a condition where urine is in the bloodstream, something that turns on Black King, which grosses Mebius out. He then pulls an image of a young man in green, which Doragory calls Monty Oum's self insert, which Mebius denies. Doragory calls Mebius a liar under his breath, which angers him. However, improvising, Doragory says he was saying "Lie Ren," the name he suggested, which Mebius falls for. Mebius then shows the main protagonist of the show, which Aribunta suggests "Ruby." which Mebius notes how it will be confusing, as the show is also called RWBY. The gang then go on about how the names would get progressively more confusing if the protagonist was named "Ruby." Mebius, fed up with this, moves on to the next character: a white themed girl. Noa, clearly having a numb tongue, tries to say "white," but it ends up sounding like "Weiss." Mebius writes that down and shows a black themed girl, which was assigned to an enamored Black King. Black King, however, doesn't know a good name for her, so he looks at Melba's game and also comes up with "Pyrrha," despite it being taken. Mebius says Black King needs his own name for the character. Black King, idiotically, comes up with "Black," but then comes up with "Blake," despite it sounding more masculine. Hurrying things up, Mebius pulls an image of a yellow themed girl, which Bemstar (as psychotically as Reicubas) suggests "Yin," then suggests "Yang," in honor of the yin-yang bracelet she was wearing. Mebius simply goes for "Yang." Mebius then pulls up one last character: a muscular cybernetic man. The person in charge of naming this character was absent, so Black King pervertedly suggests a name, which freaks Mebius out.

## Trivia

* This video is a parody of Ryan George's "The Guys Who Decided Things" series.
* Doraogry mentions the late Monty Oum, and calls Ren his "self insert." Ren does slightly resemble Monty and Monty did voice Ren in Volumes 1 and 2 of RWBY.
* Ironwood's name being considered inappropriate is from a comment about his name in this video.
