Meet gen:LOCK
So I know not a ton of people know gen:LOCK, but I absolutely adore this show. We don't talk about Season 2; it doesn't exist. To help facilitate potential interaction with my GL kids, I thought I'd do a quick writeup of them. Note that they do all have RWBY verses because they honestly would fit in that whole world pretty well, but this is just a general sort of rundown.
A quick synopsis of the show itself (pulled from Wikipedia):
"It is set in a dystopian future Earth where an international coalition known as The Polity fights a hostile, autocratic invading force known as The Union. The show follows the gen:LOCK program and its members, who participate in the development and testing of an experimental technology which allows for individuals with unique mental make ups to have their minds uploaded to giant suits of mecha armor called "Holons"."
My crew consists of three of the gen:LOCK team members, the mind behind it, and one of the Vanguard (Polity) soldiers who has been fighting the Union for a while and is helping to train the GL team.
Let's start with the mind behind the technology, Dr. Rufus Weller.
From the gen:LOCK wiki (with some omissions): "Doctor Rufus Weller is a character in gen:LOCK who brought with him "both humor and seriousness". A scientist in the Experimental Science Unit, Weller was the eccentric yet brilliant creator and overseer of the gen:LOCK program, designed to give the Polity an edge in the war against the Union."
He's a scientific genius who created the technology that sets the story in motions, he's calm under pressure, and he can be ruthless when he needs to be.
In his RWBY-verse, he's a top Atlas scientist, working with the likes of Pietro Polendina to develop the most advanced tech in the world. He's currently working on a project that could revolutionize life as we know it, and he hopes it will make a difference in the standard of living in Remnant overall.
Next up, we have Kazu Iida:
From the gen:LOCK wiki: "A rough, unwieldy military operative from Japan, he arrived at the Anvil as part of the Experimental Science Unit's gen:LOCK program alongside Julian Chase and several others, having passed the "Weller Test"."
Previously part of the Japanese military, Kazu's unit was very supportive of having him transferred out to the ESU. He'd been demoted for insubordination, and he can be rough around the edges, but he cares a lot about the people he chooses.
In his RWBY-verse, Kazu grew up in Mistral, no stranger to the city’s vices and virtues. He attended Haven Academy for a time before being kicked out. Eventually, he was recruited to go to Atlas to test the new Holon program as he was one of the people compatible with the technology.
Our next recruit is actually one of the first: Yasamin Madrani
Pulling from the GL wiki once again: "She's a talented and confident recruit from Iran who finds her calling in the Experimental Science Unit's gen:LOCK program. On the other hand, she has been reluctant to reveal her past involvement with the Union to her fellow comrades.
[At one point,] Yaz [was] being held and questioned by military police at the Mesa Detainment Center. Meanwhile, Rufus Weller asks Raquel Marin to accept a transfer request that would put her into his custody. This makes her the second gen:LOCK recruit, after Julian Chase. Like Chase, Yaz has military experience, but unlike him and all of the other gen:LOCK pilots, she is a former member of the Union."
Yaz has a dry sense of humour, which she often displays, even while doing her duty without any issues. Because of her past with the Union, she is very sensitive to any suggestion that she might still be working for them in any way, especially given that the Union killed her parents. She is very dedicated to the gen:LOCK program, especially Dr. Weller.
In her RWBY-verse: Born in Vacuo, Yasamin Madrani joined up with a group of bandits when she was young. Eventually, she decided that she had had enough and left, ending up in a city where testing for Dr. Weller’s program was occurring. Without fully realizing what it was, she was selected for the program and taken to Atlas, where she learned to be a pilot and part of the Holon program.
For the last, but certainly not the least of my GL recruits, Val/entina Romanyszyn (listed like this because they are genderfluid and use both "Val" and "Valentina," depending on presentation):
From the wiki again: "They are a retired Russian special forces operator who thought that they were finished fighting. Valentina was involved in special operations in the Eastern European theater before being recruited into the Experimental Science Unit's gen:LOCK program."
Val/entina can be pretty cynical, as expressed when she states that she likes battles she's sure to win. They also believe that the Union will follow its enemies, no matter how far they run. Which is one of the reasons she didn't want to fight on the front line any longer; she only agreed to join the gen:LOCK program because she thought it was a purely scientific endeavour. However, once things really get going, she's deeply loyal to the people she cares about, especially the way they care about the rest of the GL team.
In their RWBY-verse, Val/entina Romanyszyn grew up in Atlas, where they were able to use the region’s advanced tech to enable their transitions as needed. They also chose to attend Atlas Academy, where they quickly proved their prowess as a sniper. Now they’re working occasionally in tandem with the Ace Ops, doing what they can to protect the city and Remnant.
Our last case study for the day is Leon August, voiced by Gray Haddock (who also voiced Roman Torchwick initially):
Once more with feeling, from the wiki, "Lieutenant Leon August is a character in Rooster Teeth's gen:LOCK. He's a Strider pilot and Vanguard squad leader" and also gen:LOCK compatible, though he's too old for the technology to be safe for him.
Leon is able to stay calm and retain his sense of humour in both combat and downtime situations, though he's full capable of relaxing and joking with his friends. However, when he's in the field, he tends to be no-nonsense and very focused on getting the job done, while also making sure to watch out for his allies.
While his RWBY-verse is under construction, it's highly likely that he'll be stationed in Atlas as part of the military, potentially having attended Atlas Academy previously.
So there we have it! A quick and dirty rundown of the non-RWBY characters on this blog. Hopefully this helps!

Observations on The Only Me I Know (2/5 The Conversation)
Throughout Nemesis’s appearances, it’s been very clear that it was very unstable.
It speaks much more coherently in this episode, which only reinforces this image.
You get a sense of just how much the Union has messed him up, which breaks Weller’s heart all the more.
The Union seems to have turned Nemesis’ anger towards Weller and the ESU. He seems particularly incensed about being replaced, and the gen:LOCK program continuing without him.
Weller is desperate to help Nemesis, but it doesn’t seem to make much difference.
Of course, chase has his own solution.
He antagonises him.
Maybe not the best choice.

me n sydney were talking about how doctor weller would be a gen z kid, and i did the math considering the show takes place in 2072 and that he's likely in his 50s or 60s at best, WHICH WOULD MEAN DOCTOR WELLER WAS BORN AROUND 2020

Observations on The Only Me I Know (4/5 The Escape)
I think Caliban has them covered.
Not that Weller isn’t providing them with some new IRL gear.
This has me a bit curious. Are they in a relationship? Is he a surrogate father to her? Will it turn out he’s her actual father?
And what are Omega protocols?
Kazu can’t forget his guitar.
And Cammie has to get her sass in.
Part of me still thinks he had a way out, and that he’ll be back, but in the mean time.
Heroic sacrifice.
Even when she’s pragmatic, she’s still a sass bunny.
And here we have the payoff for the earlier foreshadowing.
Damn Union, always spoiling the fun.
A great fight scene to see how far everyone’s come. Even Cammie got a few licks on.
Had to speed this one up too. Damn gif limits.
Good man, Migas.

GenLock Season 2
<Caliban> Now that we’re preparing to retaliate against the Union, Doctor Weller had a message for you.
<Chase> What is it
<Caliban> <Weller voice> “Please be warned, the leader of the Union is my first wife. Salem.”
<Chase> What?
<Kazu> (in Japanese) Also, there’s this twelve year old kid that says he’s Doctor Weller outside.
<Caliban> <Weller voice> “This will take some explanation . . . “

Boil for Several Years, Then Steep- a gen:LOCK Fic
I’m back with another gen:LOCK story! This one is somewhat of a sequel to “At Least For Now”, as some events from that story are mentioned here. But, you don’t have to read that one to understand this!
Summary:
Colonel Marin is the only thing keeping the Polity from falling apart. She knows this but doesn't like to think about it, not because she doesn't want to feel prideful, but because thoughts like that only lead to stress and she desperately can't lose hope. But, when she sees idiots like Dr. Weller, she sometimes debates letting the Union win.
It would help her sanity at least.
I’ve worked on this fic for over a year, until I forgot about it for a while! I finally finished the other day, so I hope you enjoy! A preview will be below, go to the link in the notes to read the full story on AO3!!
She couldn’t deal with this. She had notifications and screens blowing up left and right as ABLE spammed her with new reports on the Union’s effort to take the Ether, the Vanguard’s struggle to intervene with the forces pushing rather violently against the line that was falling further and further west with each battle, and most concerning-
“Doctor focus! Prepare your team for immediate evacuation!”
“But I just put the kettle on!”
“This isn’t a joke! We have intelligence, the Union is stepping up their efforts to find you!
Raquel had prioritized one report over all the others. It was the reason she had started this call with such franticness in the first place. While the Ether was more important to the people, making sure Dr. Weller was safe was more important to the war. And the number of red dots she saw coming up from the south in the Pacific was extremely alarming.
“Why does this sound familiar? Oh, right! This is exactly what I warned would happen if you militarized my program!” She tried to remain calm even as the Doctor yelled exasperatedly at her. Three archived reports flashed on her screen, sent her way in order to emphasize his point. These weren’t the only three, she knew that. They had done much more than infiltrate or steal data, and she feared what other reports would be on her desk within the next hour if they didn’t move fast.
“We’re not doing this again... They’re already on the hunt, you are in danger!”
She had already sent several hundred of her men his way. Raquel didn’t like it, but she had to risk losing their hold on the line if it meant ensuring the safety of Dr. Weller. All of his scientists could go, by what these reports had shown, most of them weren’t trustworthy anyway. But he had all the notes, all of the understanding of gen:LOCK inside of him. She couldn’t let his brain fall into the Union’s hands. Not now.
“Then we should collect our new recruits! All four of them, as swiftly as possible!”
Recruits. She stared at the children on her screen. The party animal disguised as an intelligence officer, the baby-faced girl who had hacked her way into a job for the Polity, and the cook who couldn’t be trusted to put his anger to good use in a fight. Sure, there was the one competent ranger from her own jurisdiction, but she knew Rufus, and he wouldn’t let her get one without the others.
She thought of the Union pilot she had granted asylum to and sent to the Doctor a few years back. She thought of Chase, locked in a tank inside the lab. The lab which was going to be under fire within the next three hours.
“No way! Pack your things, get ready to move!”
“I’m not going anywhere. Not until you say yes.”
She tried to resist the urge to just tell her men to kill him instead.
When he had first shown her the plans for gen:LOCK, none of it involved looking into battle experience, and he intended to keep this completely medical, all research focused on saving lives and minds that were trapped inside their own bodies, and eventually entering the mainstream. But then they had located Chase as one of the recruits and everything in New York happened and it all had spiralled so fast and she had given them the order to retrieve him and-
“Are you holding yourself hostage?” Her voice screeched as she tightened the grip on her desk, leaning closer into the call as the static increased. He was an idiot, a damn idiot- but he….
“...Maybe? Yes? Yes! I think I am!”
She could see the same thing happening now. The number of jets and ships that carried who knew how many soldiers and drones and mechs were speeding up towards the west coast. She knew telling him all of this would do no good. He would load up all of his equipment and Chase and Madrani on the ship, there was no doubt about that, but she knew she would receive word that he had left himself to the Union’s clutches out of spite. She had known this man for years, and gen:LOCK was not the first thing they had butted heads over.
She loosened her grip, and sat back in her chair, covering her eyes with one hand. ABLE dimmed the lights for her, and got rid of some of the screens, leaving only the call on.
She didn’t want this to be the last.
“...Fine, yes. Just prepare to relocate to the Anvil! I’ll arrange to have your new recruits transferred there.”
“Fabulous put the tea on and we will be there soon!” She heard the call end, but not before there was the tell-tale sign of Rufus scrambling out of his chair, a word cut off as he went to signal to someone about what to do. Madrani, most likely. Raquel knew she didn’t need to worry anymore. The Union didn’t know where the Doctor was, they had moved the base multiple times since the previous incidents, only that he was somewhere over there. She knew the Polity’s Naval forces would be able to hold them off, that they wouldn’t have to fight a two front war so soon. She knew that there wasn’t any real risk but-
He was going to give her a stroke, either way.
