Question time, I have put a lot of thought into this story that I've been working on and those plans had been somewhat derailed by Black Aeronaut when he came up with the idea of having the Kingdoms of Remnant be transported to Destiny's Earth. So I have some questions for you guys and I've written up a timeline of events and listed other relevant info. Please tell me what you think and ask questions.

– – –

2035 – First Contact with the Traveler. The Traveler has first close contact with Humanity as he finished terraforming Mars, after he had terraformed numerous other planets and moons on his way in the solar system.
2036 to 2182 – The Golden Age, where Humanity learns from the Traveler, until he suddenly leaves in 2182.
2182 to 2525 – The Golden Age. Humanity continues to learn about and work with magi-tech, until…

October 7 – 11, 2525 – The Collapse. A five day incident that has the Four Worms Gods of the Hive nearly eradicating Humanity and in the chaos, the Vex take the opportunity to break Human containment.

The Four Worm discover Humanity and seek to destroy all they have made. The Warmind Charlemagne works with the First Fleet to hold the Worms back, while Rasputin goes dormant and Martel safe guards much of Humanity’s treasures.
Two days into the Collapse, the Traveler arrives to drive back the Worms (nearly crippling them), reign in the Vex (Inserting a lock into their code to halt their progress), and settled near the far western edge of the Himalayas, where he activates the Ghosts.
Many Humans attempt to flee the Sol system, but are stopped at the mid-way point of the system. When the Worms and the Traveler fight, the Humans are exposed to such intense magics that they are made into something else. Something between the Light and the Dark. One Mara Sov is approximately 12 and her younger brother, Uldren, is 6 when this happens. The people of the Jovian moons were unable to escape and while somewhat protected by Charlemagne, those that survived had been exposed to extreme levels of the Darkest magics and thus changing them forever.

2525 to 2785 – The Dark Age. What is left of Humanity struggles to crawl out of the ashes of the Collapse and there is much conflict.

April 17, 2526 – People start to make their way to the Traveler for refuge. Ayane Takanome and those loyal to her strive to protect the refugees via prodigious use of sniper rifles.
June 1, 2527 – The first Guardian is resurrected and he wanders to the infantile city under the Traveler.
February 23, 2531 – The first Speaker is resurrected and goes on to teach the Guardians more of their abilities.

July 22, 2555 – Lord Radegast gathers a group of Guardians, who swore under the Iron Banner to protect humanity from all threats.
December 19, 2555 – The Faction Wars begin, where numerous Factions fight over people, resources, and the loyalty of the Guardians.
September 6, 2559 – The Faction Wars end, thus leading to the establishment of the Consensus and the Vanguard.
July 8, 2567 – The Fallen arrive in the Sol system.
November 29, 2567 – The Battle of Six Fronts occurs.
August 12, 2572 – The Iron Lords, while looking for a way to help fight off the Fallen, discover word of a nanotech support platform.
January 4, 2575 – The Iron Lords discover the locations of the SIVA Deployment Facility and activate it.

January 25, 2685 – The Hive arrive in the Sol system.
August 3, 2685 – The greatest army of Guardians assembled (thus far), faces off against Crota in the Great Disaster. The battle ends in a pyrrhic victory, where most of the Guardians are killed, but they were able to kill most of the Hive army and destroy Crota’s puppet body.
June 13, 2702 – Due to the Guardians being greatly reduced and the increased Fallen presence in the Sol system, the last of the other major settlements on Earth fall apart, leading to troubled times amongst the Wild Lands of Earth.

June 16, 2725 – Dredgen Yor is killed by Shin Malphur. Shin Malphur disappears. The Thorn, Last World, and First Curse are all lost, soon fading into Legend.

2785 to 3266 – The City Age. Where Humanity struggles to recover from the many and recent blows they have taken.

November 3, 2847 – After much debate, the Vanguard orders the Great Ahamkara Hunt.

August 23, 3276 – The Battle of Twilight Gap occurs. The Guardians of Will and Hope are discovered. (This is timed such that it takes the place of the end of RWBY Vol. 3 in nastiness)

January 17, 3287 – SG-1 unknowingly stumble upon Earth and Dr. Alexandra Shim, the Guardian of Knowledge, is resurrected. (This is the beginning of the vanilla Destiny)

The thing I need help with is what happens after the Four Kingdoms arrive. Which I’ll just leave you guys with a few notes and questions:

General info about the RWBY end of things:

Ruby Rose is about 5 years old, Yang, Weiss, Blake, and JPNR are all about 7 years old.
I consider the Four Kingdoms from RWBY to be City-States and they are all basically fully independent when it comes to their basic needs.
Each of the Four Kingdoms have several small cities that come with them to Earth, Patch for example, which is where Ruby and Yang are from.
In total there are the Four Kingdoms, 12 cities, the Schnee Dust Mine, and all of the countless Grimm are being brought along.
For the most part, Grimm will be easy for Guardians to kill; even many of the older Grimm won’t give a Guardian too much trouble. Though I don’t know about the Big Bad Dragon from the end of RWBY Vol. 3…
But on the other hand, the Grimm, being attracted to negative emotion, will be giving any members of the Darkness Four a hard time.
Oh and yes, they Kingdoms will be introducing their… Odd technology to the City.
The Atlas/Schnee CCT network will be coming along and will likely get an upgrade after the City’s Warlocks and Cryptarchs get a chance to research it.
The Four Maidens will be around, but what will go on with them… Eh, not too sure for the moment.

General, but important, info about the Destiny end of things:

The populations to know in the Sol system before the Kingdoms arrive: The City, the Reef, those under the Nine, random small human groups, the Fallen, the Cabal, the Hive, and the Vex.
The Ghosts will be bonding with the Huntsmen, without needing the Huntsmen to die. The reason why Ghost have been finding their bonded amongst the dead is simple: at the time of the Collapse, it was simpler and easier to do it that way. But now that there are people that are naturally capable with magic, the Ghosts will be bonding with those Huntsmen who are good people.
The way I am doing it is that the Ghosts give their bonded a power boost, so I expect that the Huntsmen will become more powerful when they get bonded.
I am having it that Hadium, introduced in Destiny: The Taken King, is a unique mixture of Mithral and Adamantine (From Forgotten Realms). It is very magically conductive, but it can only be found in Hive technology and usually in small amounts.
Spin Metal, from Destiny, is a metal that adsorbs kinetic energy and can redirect it. It will be what allows the RWBY effect where people can fire their weapons and get their momentum accelerated.
Zeptocytes, they are a rouge nanite colony that produces Spinmetal. The Zeptocytes tend to be extremely hostile towards any being that act aggressively near them and now even the Fallen leave them be.
The Light, the Dark, Dust, Semblances, and Aura are all names for the same thing: Magic (Or are just magical, in the case of Dust), they are just different uses or manifestations of magic.
The City has long operated as a City-State, a massive some 40 to 60 mile wide one.
Though they are not members of the Consensus, the Vanguard does advise it.
At the time of the Kingdoms showing up, the Vanguard is made of: Lord Saladin Forge (Titan), Osiris (Warlock), and Andal Brask (Hunter)
Some of the duties of the Vanguard are this: Titan, head of the City’s military; Warlock, spying (via the Hidden) and R&D; Hunter, recon, sabotage, and assassination
The City’s military works generally like this: The Guardians are the heavy hitters and are usually the only ones that go far from the City, normal humans handle most of the Wall security and back up the Guardians, and finally the Exo, the ones that aren’t Guardians, act as the unit commanders for the normal military or do other military related duties.

Things that I am sure might happen, but I want to get a second opinion on them:

While I'm sure it would happen, do you think the Four Kingdoms could end up with seats on the Consensus?
As far as I can tell, at the time of the Kingdoms arriving, the White Fang in RWBY was doing peaceful protesting, MLK style. So, would they be able to get a seat on the Consensus as well? Because the way of the City is that all are equal under the protection of the Traveler, so the Faunus would NOT be discriminated against by the City.
The Schnee Dust company will most likely become a Foundry in the City, but how do you guys think they will fair in the City?
I have an idea of what I can do with Salem from RWBY, which is basically that she would goad the Fallen into starting the Battle of Twilight Gap, but I am open to other ideas in general and ideas for what could happen with her after the Battle.

Questions/things I am not sure what to do with or about:

Will Summer Rose be alive when the Kingdoms are brought to Earth? If so, how would that affect Ruby, Yang, Taiyang, and Qrow?
Will the Grimm only appear on Earth or will they end up appearing on other Sol system planets and moons?
From what I understand, the Dust from RWBY loses its power when it leaves Remnant, because Dust gets its power from Remnant. So, if there is an omni-present energy field (The Force A.K.A. magic) around, would Dust be viable on different planets and in space?
If the White Fang gets a seat on the Consensus, how would Blake and Weiss be affected in the long term?
How would you describe the extremely odd technology that makes up the majority of RWBY weapons and tech?
(RWBY Question) How do you think Salem will react to the sudden change of things? Would her change of plans still include Cinder? Or Emerald and Mercury? What about Roman Torchwick and Neo?
Speaking of Roman, what do you think will happen with him? Or Junior? He is seemingly an information broker. I wonder if either would be old enough to have what they do later in life matter when the Kingdoms appear on Earth…
Then there is Yang’s mom… Yeah, I don’t even know where to start with that.
Also the Four Maidens, will their power be advertised to the Consensus or will they be kept hidden?
And finally, what do you guys think will happen in the 20 year gap between the Kingdoms showing and when the UN (The Good Guys in my story who are yoinked at story start) show up and finally find Earth?

Here I have some bios on a number of the RWBY characters, to show how I hope things to go, but most of it is subject to change:

Ruby Rose, Hunter class Guardian, the Guardian of Hope; 25 years old Human – Weapons: Crescent Rose, 20mm Anti-Material Sniper Rifle; SUROS MKB-51 Shotgun; Havoc Pigeon Side Arm; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: Though Ruby’s Ghost hadn’t found her yet, her talent had led her to entering a Senior Combat School a full two years early. During the Battle of Twilight Gap Ruby and her fellow students were called in to handle a group of Fallen of the House Wolves. During said Battle, the Ghost of Hope sensed that Ruby was its Guardian and they helped turn the tide of the Battle. Ruby is the only person who can easily convince the Zeptocytes to construct Spinmetal parts, such that she is often sent out to make “orders” with the Zeptocytes for parts.
Weiss Schnee, Warlock class Guadian; 27 years old Human – Weapons: Myrtenaster, a Hadium Variable Burn Conduit Rapier; Pest Control Matrix Auto Rifle; 1000-Yard Stare Sniper Rifle; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: As the Heiress of the Schnee Dust company, Weiss’ father had considered her safety paramount. Thus Mr. Schnee had put out a bounty for Hadium so that Weiss and Winter could make their own custom weapons. During the Battle of Twilight Gap Weiss had been able to push herself enough to fully use the Schnee hereditary Semblance. In addition to using the Schnee Semblance, Weiss is a skilled Sunsinger Warlock, to the point that she can Self-Res.
Yang Xiao Long, Titan class Guardian; 27 years old Human – Weapons: Ember Celica, Variable Payload Shotgun Gauntlets; Häkke Moriaen-D Pulse Rifle; Amina-E7 Sniper Rifle; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: While Yang and Ruby were growing up, their father Taiyang and their uncle Qrow had saved up materials so Yang and Ruby could build powerful weapons when they became Guardians. Yang had always been a bit of a thrill seeker at heart, but the Battle of Twilight Gap had tempered her spirit with a healthy dose of caution. But after she recovered from the Battle, Yang had convinced the rest of Team RWBY, Team JNPR, and Team CFVY to go explore the Moon, Mars, and Venus, leading to many unique and interesting situations.
Blake Belladonna, Hunter class Guardian; 27 years old Faunus – Weapons: Gambol Shroud, a Variant Ballistic Chain Scythe; Khvostov 7G-0X; Amina-E7 Sniper Rifle; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: Due to the fact that she had been living outside of the Kingdoms when they were brought to Earth, the group of Faunus that Blake was with had been in the Wildlands and was exposed to much danger. But one day out there, little Blake had dug up an old, beaten Khvostov 7G-0X. When she finally got to the City, she had been able to slowly fix it up and even after she built Gambol Shroud, Blake still treasures the Khvostov and uses it whenever she is in a situation when Gambol is ineffective. Blake is also very popular amongst the Guardians as a Nightstalker Hunter and almost never has to pay for her own drinks at the various Guardian bars.

Jaune Arc, Titan class Guardian, the Guardian of Will; 27 years old Human – Weapons: Crocea Mors, Sword and Shield set; Byronic Hero; NL Shadow 701X Scout Rifle; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: When he first went to attend a Senior Battle school, many had thought that Jaune wasn’t going to go very far, but his nerve and willfulness had impressed Lord Saladin when Jaune met with Pyrrha at the Crucible for training. Eventually during the Battle of Twilight Gap, the Ghost of Will had sensed that Jaune was its Guardian and they went on to help turn the tide of the Battle. In the aftermath of the Battle, the Vanguard discovered that Jaune displayed unique Guardian abilities that were not his semblance.
Pyrrha Nikos, Titan class Guardian; 27 years old Human – Weapons: Miló, which has javelin, xiphos, and Scout Rifle forms and Akoúo_ a shield; Doom Echo XI Sniper Rifle; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: From the first time Pyrrha participated in a combat competition, Lord Saladin was impressed by her skill and potential, and as time went on, Pyrrha became a fan favorite in the Junior Crucible Circuit. Once Pyrrha’s Semblance was leaked to the public, rumors spread that she was being trained to be the next Magneto, so they could take Venus back from the Vex and drive the Fallen back. But in the end, these rumors were put to rest during the Battle of Twilight Gap. Still, other rumors persisted, hinting at the possibility that Lord Saladin was training Pyrrha to become something more…
Nora Valkyrie, Titan class Guardian; 27 years old Human – Weapons: Magnhild, which has grenade launcher and Hammer forms; Black SUROS PPG-96 Auto Rifle; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: Because of Nora’s Semblance, the Vanguard has long taken an interest in her and the Battle of Twilight Gap proved that interest to be founded, considering that after the Fallen from the House of Wolves were killed, Nora joined the main front of the battle and tore through the Devils, Kings, and Winter alongside the wielder of the Thunderlord. In the years after the Battle Nora was sent on many missions to personally eradicate Fallen strongholds and was paid handsomely to so.
Lie Ren, Hunter class Guardian; 27 years old Human – Weapons: StormFlower, Auto-pistols with Bladed Guards; Galahad-E Auto Rifle; Silvered Mulan-D Sniper Rifle; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: The few old Guardian that remember the legendary Titan Wei Ning often feel some pity for Ren, because he is often seen following the trail of chaos, destruction, and piles of bodies that his partner, Nora Valkyrie, has left in her wake. But even those old Guardians admit that Lie Ren is skilled and quite dangerous in his own right, after all, when everyone is paying attention to Nora on the battle field, who knows what Ren could be up to in the meantime…

Coco Adel, Titan class Guardian; 28 years old Human – Weapons: Collapsible Gatling Gun; Llefelys-D Side Arm; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: Coco is considered a bit of an oddity amongst the often utilitarian Guardians, but the effectiveness of her team is undeniable and as such, they are often sent on long and dangerous patrols.
Fox Alistair, Hunter class Guardian; 28 years old Human – Weapons: Kinetic Projecting Blade Gauntlets; Ros Neve IV Auto Rifle; Avenue A Sniper Rifle; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: Uh, don’t really have too much additional info for Fox here, the show doesn’t really give people much to work with…
Velvet Scarlatina, Sage class Guardian; 28 years old Faunus – Weapons: Semblance Enhancement Capture Device; Antandre-D Side Arm; Trax Elan IV Scout Rifle; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: Velvet’s unique Semblance has long been a subject of much research and speculation amongst the Warlocks and this has led to Velvet often going out of her way to avoid prolonged interactions with Warlocks outside of missions and the battle field. But even with the Ghost power enhancements, Velvet often employs normal weaponry so she can save her Semblance for more extreme situations.
Yatsuhashi Daichi, Titan class Guardian; 28 years old Human – Weapons: Hadium Great Sword; SUROS MKB-51 Shotgun; Temporal MSm Pulse Rifle; Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher – Bio: Yatsuhashi is another subject of much speculation with the Warlocks. Similar to how Jaune has seemingly unlocked a new Subclass of Titan abilities, Yatsuhashi has gained abilities that are similar to his own Semblance, but are considered separate. A “Quake” Subclass, which allows him to manipulation earth-like materials and create powerful shockwaves, but unfortunately, thus far no other Titan has been able to unlock the Subclass and use the abilities with ease.
