Victor in the story has a very warped sense of "life". He don't hate humans but loves their primitive emotions and savagery they were born with. Like Cave Man, humans' true origins is from the time when they were mindless or acted like animals; as a person who values the "original art and concept of things", Victor has tendency to take all things a person can hold dearly and break their moral codes so they can return to their "normal"  state. So yeah, I can see why Bangray could be the perfect inspiration for Victor.

For Paul's trauma... I plan to make it totally different how RWBY treated it. For 3 volumes, Yang had nightmares and illusions of Adam slicing her. But when she suddenly meets him face to face she is all-cool acting like some emotionless badass until Adam mentions it and she reminds of it. From my point of view, traumas don't work like that and will burst up at the moment they face the thing they fear the most. Paul, at least in the future, will break when he sees Rikka but will eventually overcomes it as he notices people being hurt and even killed due to his weakness. Pride and courage is what will set him free by the end of Phoenix Sub Arc since a ton of Eclipse of Hermes' members will continue active.

Yeah. The lastest episode of RWBY surely turned James into an anti-villain after coldly gunning down Oscar. If we could choose between the two James Ironwoods we saw, Selina is more the James of episode 11 and Future Maria is the James from episode 13.

I can delay their flashback until the next sub arc if you wish. I don't want to spoil things that were not presented in your story yet.

About the fate of Order of Flourish, now that Sleepy Hollow is gone, they lost their home and have nowhere to go. Which means some drastic changes will happen after these events (joining Arzonia Family for example or continue active but as organization without roots and base).
