Hello!
This is an in-universe question for my own curiosity and it concerns the Great War – that conflict that happened in RWBY’s past that resulted in tons of bloodshed and the color naming convention.
I was wondering if there are folks in-universe who would be interested in the war from an academic or even enthusiast perspective. This was something I was composing for an original character, so I just wanted to ferret out how the war is perceived by the public and how the public would react to those who dabble in Great War interest.

In the real world, we humans are both terrified and fascinated by conflict, even the ones raging today. You can get a variety of ways of indulging in it too, which includes the following:
-Historical reenactments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naNmDUFu5TM
-Wargaming, which combines a board game with battle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeNSLDDkXjA
-Media like books, television shows, movies and even music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDayiYQNRV4
-Militaria collecting, which is the act of obtaining relics, tools, equipment and memorabilia from conflict: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dulzcm57Kus
I am trying to come up with weapons for a new set of OCs I'm working on, and I have an idea but not sure if I should go with it or not.
So basically the weapon will be a guitar but also a sword so the strings of the guitar would be over the blade and I was thinking that you could take a dust crystal and rub it on the strings and it would give the sword whatever power you put on it, so say you put a fire crystal in it, it could make into a flaming sword or something like that. I have a few other ideas but that's the main one I am contemplating.
I got the sword idea from this picture.
