Well, I based the characters off Marvel Norse characters, and the only relations the Queen had were with Odin, Frigga, Thor and Loki, none of whom inspired my characters.

Near as I can tell, Bishops represent inspirations of nobility, but as CRDL were a bunch of jerks, they were assigned the Black Bishop. Rooks, also known as Castles, would go to famous warriors, which is why JNPR grabbed the Rook. Knights symbolise heroes from fairy tales, and RWBY are all based on various heroines from fairy tales.

I just picked the Black Queen because it was the first thing that came into my head. Picking the Black Knights was a way of showing that APEX is based off of heroes from childhood tales. I wanted to change it anyway.
