Ironic given that Kali is the actual cat faunus. Ghira is a play on Bagheera, who's a panther.

RWBY's lesson on racism is so hamfisted that if there had been a human settlement on the other side of the island, it would probably be a thriving resort city.

read the latest Doctor Knowall over on spacebattles and since i don't have an account there, i going to post the comment i want to make here.
Thanh cackled again and pointed his monk spade at Knowall.

"So you have no chance, little man! No matter what you can throw at me, I'll just keep coming back!"

Knowall nodded.

"Well, that's great news!" Knowall said cheerfully.

"Oh? And why is that?" Thanh sneered. "You happy to die to an immortal, foolish ape?!"

Knowall calmly pulled his labcoat off, and tossed it aside. Weiss caught it, flushing bright red, as Knowall next pulled off his jacket and then unbuttoned his sleeves. He rolled them up, loosened his tie... And grinned the most terrifying smile Blake could ever remember seeing.

"Because I don't have to hold back," Knowall growled, before he lunged.

Doctor Knowall 8
AndrewJTalon said:
Over the course of the next few weeks, Doctor Knowall got several visitors. Many of them Huntresses, hoping for some attention. He shut them all down professionally and sent them on their way. They were disappointed, naturally, but he paid it no mind.



He also got a few surprises.



"Doctor?"



He looked up from his studies on White Fang movements to see Cardin Winchester standing in the door way. He was holding his right wrist and wore a grimace.



"Yes, Mister Winchester?" He asked politely.



"I uh... I've been having these pains in my wrist for the last two days," he said.



Out from behind him stepped Velvet Scarlatina. She scowled up at him, her hands on her hips.



"The dummy just refused to go and get it treated," she huffed. Cardin scowled.



"I'm tough! It's gonna go away on its own!"



"Well it hasn't yet!" Velvet insisted, "So you'd better get it looked at!"



Knowall held back a small smile. He gestured to the examination bed, and Cardin walked over to it. The big paladin sat down with a huff, as Velvet stayed by his side. She wore a scowl as Knowall held out his hands and examined Cardin's wrist.



"You're channeling too much Aura through your muscles," Knowall deduced, "Even though it heals and protects you, too much of it can leave your muscles feeling sore. Apply a cold pack, then hot pack, and rest it for a day or two. You'll be fine."



Velvet smiled in triumph. Cardin grumbled but slowly nodded.



"I told you," Velvet murmured.



"Fine," Cardin sighed, "I'll take it easy."



"Good," Knowall nodded, "Also? Focus more on Aura control exercises. I believe Mister Ren is adept at it. You should ask him for pointers."



Cardin grumbled a bit more, but Velvet touched his bicep. He glanced at her then slowly nodded.



"I will, Doctor."



"Good," Knowall stated. He turned away to add some notes into Cardin's file. He heard Velvet and Cardin whisper a bit between themselves. After a few moments, she sighed and kissed his cheek.



"All right. But I'm going to make sure you take care of yourself," she stated firmly. Cardin smiled for a moment before his usual brash expression returned.



"Fine. Just not in front of the guys, okay?"



"Yes in front of the guys!" Velvet argued. "They're just as worried!"



"Hmph," Cardin grunted, "Fine. Now go. I'll catch up."



Velvet smiled and kissed his cheek again. She turned and headed out of the infirmary. Cardin watched her go then looked back to Knowall. He cleared his throat. Knowall raised an eyebrow.



"Yes, Mister Winchester?"



"I..." He shook his head. "Thanks. For-For making me make things up to her. W-We're dating now and uh..." He smiled. "It's amazing. It's like... It's like we just click, you know? I... I feel like a jackass for bullying her. She's really amazing. So thank you, Doctor."



Knowall nodded slowly.



"You're welcome."



"Can I ask a question?" Cardin asked. Knowall shrugged.



"Certainly."



"How did you know?" He asked.



Knowall stared at him. He slowly shook his head.



"I just had a feeling," he said. He smiled wanly.



"Make sure you treasure every moment you have with her, Cardin," he stated, "because it will never come again. Understand?"



Cardin nodded seriously.



"I will, Doctor," he said. He slowly got up and headed out the door. Jaune watched him exit. He closed his eyes.



For a moment he wasn't in Beacon's infirmary. They were in wartorn Vale near the Franklin Kingdom. Artillery was pounding overhead in the makeshift field hospital Jaune had cobbled together. The scent of blood, Dust, and gun oil filled the air, along with the screams of the dying.



On a cot, covered in blood, lay a dying Cardin Winchester. Older, with a scuffy beard and a missing eye, and desperately shoving a locket into his hands.



"Please... My wife and kids," he wheezed, "Tell them I... Tell them...!"



His Aura faded. His soul vanished. His eyes dimmed and he went limp as he let out his last breath. Knowall stood there numbly, stumbling back as the nurses did everything they could for the man... But there was nothing more to be done.



He shakily looked down. He opened the locket. A small hologram emerged, blue and translucent. An older Velvet Scarlatina sat on a couch, smiling with eyes full of love and warmth. Around her were three human/rabbit Faunus hybrids: Two girls and a boy, all smiling broadly for the camera.



Knowall took a deep breath. He closed the locket and shoved it back into his pocket. He was back in Beacon, back in the past.



He still didn't know why he had held onto the locket. By the time he got anywhere near Vale, the city had been left in ruins without a soul alive. The Winchester mansion lay in ashes. He didn't know if Velvet or their kids had survived.



Hell he didn't even know if they would survive this time around.



He clenched his fist around the locket tightly.



"It won't happen again," he swore, "I won't let it happen."

Jaune Arc had just finished up some training in one of the simulation rooms. Pyrrha had to beg off joining him as she had a meeting with her agent while Nora and Ren were off to have fun. RWBY had gone out into the city for a day trip.



Jaune didn't mind the solitude too much. He loved his friends but every now and again he needed some time to himself.



He got out of the shower and made it to his locker. He dressed then turned around-



"Jaune!"



"GAH!"



Jaune fell back in shock. Blake was standing there, her eyes wide.



"Blake? Wha-This is the boy's locker room!" He whispered, his eyes scanning around frantically, "We're going to get in trouble-!"



"Jaune, listen! I... I need to tell you something," Blake said, her voice thick with restrained emotion.



It only took a moment for Jaune to calm down. Blake was in distress. It had to be important.



"What is it?" He asked quietly.



"I..." She shook her head. "I-I came to say goodbye."



Jaune blinked.



"What?" He asked dumbly.



"I..." She winced. "Weiss... I-I told Weiss that... That I was White Fang. I-I told my team and... And I can't stay here anymore."



Jaune's eyes bugged out.



"What? Blake, I-!"



"I'm sorry I lied!" Blake cried, her voice harsh from holding back a sob, "I-I'm sorry! I was White Fang! I-I did terrible things! I-I don't belong here, all right?! I-I don't deserve your kindness! I don't deserve anything! N-Not until I fix this! Not until I stop them!"



Jaune gaped.



"Blake, I-Wait a-!"



"Goodbye! I... Please forgive me," she whispered. Jaune reached out again.



"I do forgive you-Wait-We can talk this-!"



His arms went through Blake, and she vanished as the shadow clone dissipated. He pulled his hands back with wide eyes.



"Blake. No," he murmured.



His Scroll screamed at him. He picked it up and answered the call from Ruby.



"Jaune! Blake just ran off! It-It's a long story-But can you and your team help us find her? Please?!"



Jaune stared at the place Blake's clone had stood. He slowly nodded.



"We'll be right there."



"Thank you," Ruby sighed in relief, "I'm just... It's a long story. I don't know how much you know but-"



"It doesn't matter," Jaune said firmly, "She's my friend. We're going to find her."



"Yes," Ruby agreed with equal determination, "Yes we will."

It was seldom that Blake Belladonna would ever admit to making a mistake. She wanted to believe they were just setbacks, wrong turns, not full on errors on her part. After all, she was trying to bring justice to the world. She was fighting for her people to be free and equal!



She couldn't afford to make mistakes.



However, she'd started to re-examine that assumption after leaving Adam and the White Fang. With the White Fang she had felt increasingly isolated and alone as she voiced her opinions and desires, and was humored, patronized and ignored. She had felt like she was the only one who had kept sight of their mission: Equality, not domination.



When she'd had enough, she ran away. She found Jaune, and for the first time in a long time? She had felt listened to.

She didn't tell him everything, but she did voice her worries and concerns. He had listened. Even if he couldn't do anything else for her, he had listened and taken her seriously. He had done his best to help her. They had trained together and he had helped her feel safe.

Blake hadn't felt safe in a long time. And for a time, her new team had also made her feel safe. Beacon had felt safe.



So when her team found out she was formally White Fang? That safety was gone. So she had run away again.



She'd run into Sun Wukong, a nice enough Faunus boy. Honestly? Too nice, too flirty. He was confident and sunny, yes, but took nothing seriously. Not as much as she would like. Still, he was kind enough to tell her about a White Fang operation at the docks, and even kinder to fight with her.



She hadn't made a mistake. She was... She was going to fix things. She was going to correct an error. It couldn't be the White Fang at the docks, or if it was? They were taking orders from some human criminal.



Well... As she laid on the hard concrete after taking a powerful hit, her Aura flickering around her, she realized she was half-right.



Roman Torchwick, gentleman thief and gangster, scowled at the tall, hulking reptilian Faunus who swaggered up beside him. He was swinging around a giant monk's spade with Dust-powered flamethrowers attached. He wore only a pair of pants and a White Fang mask around his neck like a collar: He was heavily muscled and covered in scales, bald, with sharp teeth, red eyes, and a long swinging tail behind him.



He was Thanh Qingquong, a gangster and murderer, a Komodo Dragon Faunus... And a former member of the White Fang.



Or so Blake thought.



"Took you long enough," Roman groused, "Kitty-Kat was all over me!"



The reptile Faunus grinned, baring his sharp fangs.



"I had to deal with the monkey whelp," he sneered.



Blake sat up and gasped.



"Sun! What did you do to him-?!"



"Knocked him out," Thanh chuckled, "I'll suck the marrow from his bones soon enough! You though..." He pointed the monk spade at her, "Adam's gonna want you back, kitty." He grinned terribly.



"But not before I get a piece~..."



"You-You can't work for Adam," Blake gasped, "You-You murderer! He banished you! He told me-!"



"He lied, Little Cat," Thanh cackled, "Just to spare his little princess' feelings! How do you like that?"



"But you-you can't work with humans!" Blake growled.



"Said by the cat whoring herself out to humans," Thanh sneered, "I can smell them on you even now. Pathetic."



He stomped over to her. He swung his monk spade down, and she barely rolled out of the way. She got to her feet, unsteady, and unleashed several shots. Thanh ignored the bullets as he charged, swinging wildly. Blake dodged with her incredible agility, but a blast from the flamethrowers forced her to evade in mid-air with a clone.



He twisted his spade upwards, and smacked her across the face. She tumbled through the air and slammed into a crate, smashing it beneath her. She groaned as Thanh stalked over towards her, drooling over his sharp teeth.



"Now... Adam didn't say how to bring you back," he chuckled, leering up and down her body, "But I don't think he'll mind if I have a taste~..."



Blake gritted her teeth. It was... It was all her fault. Everything... She had to get away, she had to...!



Thanh raised his spade over his head, and swung down. Blake tried to move, tried to summon her Aura-



The monk spade clanged loudly against steel. Blake blinked, dumbfounded, as she saw a familiar boy with blond hair and a sword and shield standing in front of her.



"Jaune?!"



"Blake! RUN!" Jaune shouted. He shoved Thanh's spade aside and thrust his blade for his stomach. His sword pierced through, right to the hilt. Jaune looked up in shock. Thanh just smirked, and laughed. He then swung a great arm and backhanded Jaune, so hard he went flying.



"JAUNE!" Blake screamed, as Jaune slammed into some nearby crates with a loud crash. Thanh cackled as the wound healed.



"Another simp trying to help you, huh?" Thanh laughed. "You only attract the weak, just like you..."



She could hear gunfire nearby: Familiar gunfire. Ruby and her friends were storming in, she could hear it. But Thanh was already stalking towards Jaune, twirling his massive weapon around. Blake struggled to her feet and dashed after the brute. She leaped up onto his back and wrapped her arms around his throat. Thanh's tail cracked like a whip, several times, beating Blake on her back as he reached up to grab her. She tried to evade, but a tail whip forced her down and Thanh gripped her arm. He pulled her over and held her up and away from him, laughing at her. She struggled to get free, kicking and punching and biting, but Thanh just kept laughing.



"End of the line, princess!" He snarled. He slammed her to the ground, cratering it under her body. She yowled in pain, and shrieked when he stomped down on her chest. He leered down at her as he reached out for Jaune.



"First, I'm going to eat your little boyfriend," he sneered, "Then? I'll see about you~..."



No... No, please, Blake prayed, please... Someone... Anyone...! PLEASE! Don't let him pay for my mistakes! PLEASE!



Thanh's terrible face leered down at her. He licked his lips, his sharp teeth glistened in the moonlight... And then a fist met the side of his jaw.



His eyes widened in shock. His jaw deformed from the force of the blow. Teeth and blood flew out of his mouth as he was knocked off his feet. He went flying right into a forklift, breaking it in two and making it explode.



Blake stared at the fiery wreck, before slowly looking over at their savior.



Doctor Knowall stood there, cracking his knuckles, his face a stern mask of pure, cold rage.



"Belladonna," he barked, "Look after Arc. I'll handle this."



"Y-Yes sir," Blake managed, too shocked to disobey. She got up and checked on the groaning Jaune as Knowall walked in front of them.



Blake pulled out her Scroll and linked it to Jaune: His Aura was regenerating, and he was conscious. Relief filled her as she squeezed his hand. He opened his eyes and blinked away stars.



"Ugh... You okay, Blake?" He asked.



"Yes," Blake insisted, "How did you-?"



"Heard about White Fang operating here," Jaune wheezed, "Called in everyone to come here when I heard gunfire... I-I'm sorry I couldn't-"



Blake smiled and squeezed his hand, fighting tears.



"There's nothing to apologize for," she whispered.



Thanh burst out of the wreckage, roaring in rage.



"Who has the fucking balls?!"



Knowall eyed him with a bored look, the wind from the ocean making his white coat wave slightly.



"Thanh Qingquong, aka Thanh the Immortal?" Doctor Knowall asked. Thanh sneered.



"That's me!"



"You possess a Regenerative Semblance, correct?" Knowall asked calmly, his sensible shoes making barely any sound as he walked towards him. Thanh cackled.



"YES! I can regenerate from any injury, no matter how severe, little man!"



Elsewhere, she could see the rest of RWBY and JNPR appear, fighting through the White Fang members. She could even see Sun: Unconcious, but being carried by Nora. Relief flooded her.



He's okay... He's okay...



Thanh cackled again and pointed his monk spade at Knowall.



"So you have no chance, little man! No matter what you can throw at me, I'll just keep coming back!"



Knowall nodded.



"Well, that's great news!" Knowall said cheerfully.



"Oh? And why is that?" Thanh sneered. "You happy to die to an immortal, foolish ape?!"



Knowall calmly pulled his labcoat off, and tossed it aside. Weiss caught it, flushing bright red, as Knowall next pulled off his jacket and then unbuttoned his sleeves. He rolled them up, loosened his tie... And grinned the most terrifying smile Blake could ever remember seeing.



"Because I don't have to hold back," Knowall growled, before he lunged.



Blake could admit to making many mistakes. She would deal with that. But it was somewhat comforting to know that Thanh the Immortal had made even worse ones.

Actually that does bring up a question.

You can't convince me that at least one sick fuck hasn't tried using faunus animal pieces as clothes, not necessarily the reptilians.

How would that work? That is to say, do they actually fuction as clothes? How well would they function compare to conventional materials

This is part of my world building to try and flesh out the racism a bit more.

What I came up with is that it depends on the Faunus type in question; so reptilian Faunus with scales are made into belts/boots, horned Faunus or with similar features are usually made into some form of necklace or wall mounting, and ones with 'soft' (think ears and the like) tend to be taxidermy'd.

Obviously the Faunus aren't perfect and they have their share of incredibly fucked up atrocities themselves, this is just what I've got for human on Faunus violence.

Thanh: "Simps are worse than women."
Sun: *shuts mouth*

Thanh: *looking at Pyrrha's death* "Typical woman, going for philosophy instead of shooting the dumb bitch."

Thanh: *at Ironwood and Atlas* "See what happens when you treat women like equals? Boom. Should have taught them the pecking order."

Thanh: *at Salem* "Typical woman, failing even at suicide. Even at the things you're supposed to be better than men at, you still manage to fuck up."

The Arc Clan: Sister Aqua 2
Jaune approached the infirmary, his heart heavy with dread. While he was not armed, he still felt like he should have girded his loins for battle. Because what awaited him in there was more dangerous than any foe he had yet faced.



His friends were behind him, but only physically. All of them were glaring at his back and pushing him along. He took a deep breath and looked back.



Jaune: "Guys? I am going through with it, promise."



Ruby: "You'd better!"



Jaune: "I will! I promise!"



Nora: "We'll make sure!"



Weiss: "Indeed!"



With a heavy sigh Jaune stepped into the infirmary. Aqua was sitting at the nurse's desk, dressed in a blue maternity dress, and eagerly talking on her Scroll.



Aqua: "Oh yes! Those will look darling! Diamonds? Oh, sure I'm good for it! I just need to take out a loan and-Hello? HELLO?!" She huffed "Must hate children. Oh! Hello Jaune!" beams "What brings you in? Do you need healing?"



Jaune: "No. Aqua, I need to talk to you about your activities."



Aqua: "What activities?"



Jaune: "Well frankly..."



Yang: "You're driving us crazy!"



Jaune's friends all gathered at the door and glared at Aqua. Aqua pressed a hand over her heart.



Aqua: "Me? What have I done?! I'm a single mother in distress!"



Jaune: "Because you ran away from Kazuma! Who would absolutely-"



Aqua: "-R-Reject me! He totally would! He called me the Goddess of Debt! Goddess of Uselessness! I'm doing just fine here as an assistant nurse!"



Jaune: "You bullied Pyrrha into buying things with her credit cards!"



Pyrrha: "It-It's not that big a deal! I mean, they're gifts-!"



Jaune: "What does a baby need with a 10,000 lien liquor cabinet?!"



Aqua: "W-We'll bond over our shared love of spirits!"



Weiss: "You blew the money I gave you at a casino!"



Aqua: "My baby deserves only the finest! I was trying to make more money for him! Or her!"



Blake: "You ate all my tuna!"



Aqua: "Baby has cravings!"



Nora: coldly "You used all my special syrup for your pancakes!"



Aqua: "Which just means my baby has great taste, like you, Auntie Nora?"



Nora: "Hmmm... I'll allow it!"



Ruby: "You pawned my tools!"



Aqua: "I-I just needed to pay off this one little debt-"



Yang: snarls, hair and eyes glowing "YOU WRECKED. MY. BIKE."



Aqua: "H-Honestly, that was more your fault! I'm pregnant! Leaving a motorcycle where anyone might steal it is totally irresponsible!"



Jaune has to hold Yang back.



Jaune: "YANG! PLEASE! SHE DID SAVE YOUR LIFE BY HEALING YOU!"



Yang: snarls "That's why I'm only going to break some bones."



Aqua: "MEEP!"



Jaune: "Yang! Yang, please...? I will make this up to you, promise! Any way you want!"



Yang: "..." sultry smirk "Any way I want, huh~?"



Jaune: "Errrr..."



Pyrrha: "NO JAUNE! YANG! YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY PUMMEL A PREGNANT WOMAN!"



Jaune: "PYRRHA?!"



Pyrrha: blush "I DIDN'T MEAN THAT! SORRY!"



Jaune sighs and walks over to his cowering sister. He pulls her up to her feet and hugs her.



Jaune: "Aqua... Listen. You're my big sister, and I love you."



Aqua: "Really?"



Jaune: nods "But you're being completely unreasonable and you're driving us all crazy."



Aqua: "HEY!"



Jaune: "So I've decided to do the best thing I can for you."



Aqua: "... Convince your harem to send me to that fancy spa I've been eyeing in Mistral?"



Jaune: smile, twitch "Even better... Come on in!"



Kazuma enters with a scowl. Megumin and Darkness follow, with Chomonosuke sitting on Megumin's shoulder.



Aqua: "YOU TOLD THEM I WAS HERE?!"



Jaune: "Yes!"



Kazuma: sighs "Hey Jaune. Honestly? I gotta commend you. Growing up with her couldn't have been easy."



Darkness: "Oh! Hello Jaune! Aqua's told us a lot about you! You're such a sweet, kind boy... But with a hidden rage and sadistic side, clearly! Ooh~! How wonderful to-!"



Kazuma smacks Darkness's chest.



Kazuma: "Knock it off."



Darkness: "Ohh~! So possessive, you brute~!"



Megumin: "We tracked you for leagues and leagues, Aqua! Our journey was epic and perilous! We overcame many dangers, and had to face the darkest parts of our souls to overcome-!"



Kazuma: "We took a public airship. You owe us for the fate, by the way."



Megumin: "Where's the drama in that?!"



Jaune smiles tensely and supports Aqua.



Jaune: "Kazuma, Aqua has something to tell you."



Kazuma: "Pfft. What? You're scamming these people by saying you're pregnant?"



Aqua: "... No... I-I... I am pregnant. With your baby."



Kazuma: "HA! Like I'd ever believe that-!"



Yang: "Um, no, she really is pregnant."



Pyrrha: "Completely!"



Kazuma: "Pfft! Like I'd ever believe-!"



Aqua pulls up her dress and reveals her belly with a scowl. Kazuma stares.



Aqua: "No you idiot! I AM Pregnant, and it IS your baby!" She grabs his hand and sets it on her stomach



Kazuma: "I... I uh... I..."



Darkness: "OH! Kazuma, you brute! Leaving Aqua alone as a single mother after having your way with her... WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THAT TO ME?!"



Megumin: "You perverted scum!"



Kazuma: "I-There's no way-That's not my kid!"



Aqua: "What?! You think I'm loose?!"



Kazuma: "I-I think I wouldn't believe you if you told me water was wet!"



Aqua: "WELL I AM PREGNANT AND IT IS YOUR BABY, DAMNIT!"



Jaune holds up some test results and hands them over. Kazuma flips through them with wide eyes.



Aqua: "SEE?! WHAT REASON WOULD JAUNE HAVE TO LIE?! He doesn't like me being around any more than you do-!"



Kazuma faints.



Aqua: "AH! KAZUMA!" She drops to her knees and checks his vitals "KAZUMA! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?! SPEAK TO ME!"



Ruby: "Geez... That made him pass out...?"



Kazuma came to. He stared up at Aqua, who had tears in her eyes.



Kazuma: "So... We're... It's our baby...?"



Aqua: "Y-Yes..."



Kazuma: "Our baby?"



Aqua: "Yes... Um..." She looks aside "Y-You know, it's fine. Right? I mean... We barely get along as it is. I-I can just go back to Radian, raise it myself. You-You don't have to worry about us-"



Kazuma hugs her tightly and kisses her.



Aqua: "MMPH?!"



Kazuma: "Mwah... HAHAHAHA! I'M A DAD!" He jumps up and hugs Aqua tightly, swinging her around



Aqua: "EHHHH?! WH-WHAT?!"



Kazuma: "WE'RE GONNA BE PARENTS!" He's all smiles



Aqua: sniffles... Smiles... Laughs "W-WE ARE!"



Kazuma: "YEAH!"



Aqua: "YEAH!"



Kazuma: "Haa... So... Wanna get married?"



Aqua: "I-WHAT?!"



Kazuma: "Married. Right now. There are drive through chapels in Vale."



Aqua: "Buh-But-You-THAT'S HOW YOU PROPOSE?!"



Kazuma: "We can have an actual wedding later. Lalatina's dad owes us all one."



Darkness: blush "M-Making me pay for a wedding to your mistress while I'm your fiance! You-You wonderful brute!"



Megumin: "HEY! WHAT ABOUT ME?!"



Kazuma: "When you're legal. So? How about it, Aqua?"



Aqua: "I... A-Are you sure? I mean, um, we're... Still gonna fight and still gonna have issues-"



Kazuma: "Yeah... But I do love you."



Aqua: gapes "... Really?!"



Kazuma: "Yes. One hundred percent. You saved my life. And... Despite everything... I can't see myself spending the rest of my life with anyone but you three."



Aqua: "..." sobs and hugs him "YES! YES I'LL MARRY YOU!"



Kazuma: "HAHAHA! WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!"



Nora: "CONGRATULATIONS!"



Jaune: "YEAH!"



Aqua: "Anyway... Thanks for everything you guys! You're all invited to the actual wedding when we plan it!" She hugs and kisses every one, before returning to Kazuma's arms "Kazuma, let's rent an airship to take all the baby stuff with us!"



Kazuma: "Does it include a liquor cabinet?"



Aqua: "Yessss...? For when the baby gets older-?"



Kazuma: "No."



Aqua: "But Kazummmmaaaaaaaa-!"



Kazuma: "We'll try to get it as a wedding present. But we won't be too pushy about it."



Aqua: "YAY!" hugs and kisses him "Mmmm... I love you~!"



Kazuma: "I love you... Come on!"



They head out. Ren slowly blinks.



Ren: "... Your family is kind of fucked up, Jaune."



Jaune: sighs "Don't I know it..."



Nora: "Which is why we all get along so well~!"

Pyrrha: *looking at the fake fox tail on offer*
Fox faunus shop owner: "Darling, that just screams 'you'~"
Jaune: *nosebleed* *thumbs up*
Blake: "THAT'S CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!"

Would it be though? Maybe racial/blackface equivalent (furface? Faunusface?), but if Pyrrha saw Jaune not only approve but be potentially aroused by it, and then Blake tried to stop her, she'd give Blake a stare so terrifying that Kali would probably feel it.

"Ghira? Our daughter just did something unwise."

"Yes?"

"She's trying to clamjam a woman who may or may not twist her into a pretzel if said woman doesn't get her man because of Blake."

"Oh, like Izzie with that transfer student years ago?"
 
Hyde
Ruby Rose was not enjoying her current assignment.

On paper it should have been easy, team up with a randomly selected partner and hunt down at least one of the Grimm in the surrounding Forrest.

It got a bit difficult when she was paired with Jaune Arc. He's not a bad guy....at least she thinks he isn't. He doesn't really talk much to anyone outside of his team, heck sometimes people forget he's even there. He blends into the background surprisingly well with that massively oversized hoodie of his.

So communication with her partner is basically zero and to top it off they ran into one of the most annoying Grimm to fight.

A Rafiki. Those damn things aren't even native to vale! Any time she tries to get away to line up a shot the damn baboon zips up to her and smacks her on the head with that bone club it has.

She swears that thing is laughing at her!

Poor Jaune was even worse off he didn't even have a speed semblance he just had to sit there and tank it.

Eventually however it seems like Jaune was ready to make his move. With surprising speed his hand lashed out.

And grabbed her?

Oh hell no she was not going to get betrayed like in the leopard emperor!

"It's time to hyde."

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

A small storm of rose petals picked up before collecting into a copy of Ruby.

Oh this must be his semblance. But it's not that great. The copy is all off.

Burning long red hair with black tips (not a bad look actually) and a sharp (literally) grin the other Ruby didn't even have crescent rose.

"Finally! I was getting so fucking bored of this keep away bullshit!"

She definitely wouldn't say that! She might think it but she definitely wouldn't say it! What the hell is wrong with his semblance?!

Evidently not it's combat power because the other Ruby sped forward using Rubys own speed. Unlike Ruby she started throwing hands with the Grimm.

And winning. Brutally at that. Brothers she didn't know Grimm could beg.

Eventually the Rafiki was nothing but smoke and the other Ruby shattered like glass.

Mission successful. Yay. Gods Ruby could use a shower. But maybe Jaune wasn't that bad.....shit where'd he go?!


So different semblance Jaune. Very different. The basis of this idea is jaunes family were a bit more overprotective.

They tried to teach Jaune of how dangerous the world is but kinda went too far. They forgot to tell him about the good in people.

He still wants to be a huntsmen though but he always thinks the worst of people.

He tries to hide away, hence him getting a oversized version of his hoodie. Like a security blanket (size 10x). He's also very quiet. His team is slowly working their way into his heart.

And that's his semblance. It drags out the worst parts of people and gives them a inverted form and personality without changing their semblance.

Jaune called them Hyde.

A few notes. Jaune can only summon one Hyde at once and their aura reserves are his aura reserves so if he's not careful one of them can bring him down to the red.

A Hyde will never willingly go against Jaune but they will always dislike their source.

If a Hyde is defeated Jaune can't summon that specific Hyde again for at least a week.

Jaune needs skin contact to summon a Hyde.

A few prompts:



-Turns out Adam's obsession to bring Blake back takes a turn when her parents make contact with her at Beacon: Ghira and Kali have been forced to fund the White Fang in order to ensure no harm came to Blake. So White Fang's funding is now hitting some shortfalls.



Blake: "Wha-What?! You threatened to kill me if my parents didn't pay you for your terrorist operations?!"



Adam: "Of course! Why do you think I had to work with that filthy human Cinder to keep going? But if you come back, we can rule over Menagerie, then the world, and I can finally get that brand new leather duster coat I've been eyeing! What do you say?"



Blake: "I WAS JUST A PAYCHECK TO YOU?!"



Adam: "A paycheck, a means of gaining rulership over all Faunus, AND a hot perverted catgirl waifu!"



Poor, poor Blake. But honestly, this would make a lot more sense for Adam and Blake's relationship than him just being a simp. He could have gone too far and become worse than the monsters he fought, advocating for genocide/enslavement of humanity, want to rule over all Faunus as a King with Blake at his side, held some true affection for her (in his twisted mind)... And also wanted financing for his terrorist movement. None of these are contradictory.



-Yang is deeply offended at being called a tomboy (This happened in RWBY Chibi). She thus resolves to act more feminine! And has Jaune Arc help her since who would know better about the feminine than a farmboy with seven sisters?



-More ideas for the teams vacationing in Radian! I might return to that idea soon given I'm about to update Sanctuary again!



-For Cowboys of Remnant: Flynt Coal has a grudge against Weiss Schnee. He starts a jam session with Jaune though since he plays a mean guitar and sings well. He then tricks Jaune into singing a protest song against the SDC in front of Weiss. How does it go down from there?



-For Cowboys of Remnant: Give me more ideas!
 
Given the American Old West inspiration, we've got to have at least one Native American expy that is also a Faunus. Maybe a rattlesnake or a similarly Wild West critter? Maybe there are Faunus tribes along the same lines that are pretty much only their 'style' of Faunus? A tribe was already mentioned I think once, there'd have to be more and they all probably greatly dislike each other, just like in our universe.

Or there's a Sacagawea expy that has worked with Jaune in the past. Or Jaune knows one who may or may not be a bounty hunter, tracker for hire, or similarly dangerous professional.
 
Dragonslayer: The Truth
RedReaper said:
I know this is supposed to be humor, but I genuinely think it wouldn't get off the floor. Yang would explain herself/her plan, and Jaune would basically explain the whole point of the Jaundice Arc—Manhood, and in her case, Womanhood, is not a "thing" that is "decided." It's not any more or less manly to ask for help despite traditional values, and it's not more or less feminine to prefer less traditional/more physical means of entertainment. If anyone can't understand or appreciate that, (or her) they're as much of an idiotic fool he was when he snuck his way into Beacon, nor should they have the right to be someone she confides in. Cue her being flustered.

Jaune Arc got up early. It's just what he did: Years as a farmboy had ingrained the habit into him.



It may have also been a combination of a few other things: The responsibility he felt for his team as their leader, the drive to improve so he wouldn't hold them back, wanting to encourage and motivate them by making them breakfast...



And it was kind of fun to see Nora cuddling up to Ren. No matter what, she always found his way into Ren's bed to sleep next to him. He always seemed a lot more relaxed, too.



Also, perhaps teasing Pyrrha a bit over her drooling?



He shook his head.



No... You owe too much to her to do that, he thought.



Well... Maybe a little. Once he made it clear he did respect her. Right? Right.



He headed out into the common room, silently shutting the door behind him. He yawned then... Sniffed. He smelled cooking eggs and bacon. He looked over at their kitchenette and blinked.



A shock of golden hair greeted him, attached to one Yang Xiao-Long. She was in a purple sundress and an apron, with her hair tied back. She was cooking up a storm. She looked up and smiled at him.



"Hey VB! Good morning!" She whispered loudly.



Jaune blinked.



"Uh... Hey Yang," he greeted, walking towards her, "What's the occasion?"



"What occasion? I just felt like getting dressed up and cooking breakfast," she said with a warm smile. Jaune blinked a few more times.



"You're wearing a lot of make up," he pronounced.



"Yeah? ... Does it look good?"



"I mean, yeah," Jaune said with a nod, "Little thick on the eyeliner though and the lipstick is uh... M-Maybe a little too dark?"



He blushed. Okay, up close she was a lot prettier. Honestly, her in a dress and apron was... Wow. He already thought she was a knockout but... Damn!



Yang frowned and paused in her cooking. She pulled out her makeup kit and examined herself in the mirror.



"Yeah, I guess I did go a little heavy on it," she admitted. She looked over at him with a raised eyebrow. "How do you know so much about it?"



"Seven sisters," Jaune deadpanned. Yang's eyes widened in disbelief. He pulled out his Scroll and flipped to the same picture he showed whenever anyone reacted like that: The one of himself with his seven siblings on a couch, and he was holding a sign that read "Help".



Yang snorted in laughter.



"Wow! You're not kidding!" She snickered. Jaune nodded.



"Yeah. Also? Turn your eggs."



"Ah!" Yang grabbed a spatula and turned them over. She looked over at Jaune with a speculative smile.



"So... You're probably a good judge of what's girly and what's not, huh VB?"



"I mean... I guess?" Jaune shrugged. Yang nodded with a beam.



"Then you're perfect!"



"For?"



"Helping me be more feminine, of course," Yang insisted. Jaune blinked a few times.



"What? Why do you need help with that, Yang?" Honestly, he felt like he'd walked into another universe with that statement.



Yang sighed and shrugged. She didn't meet his eyes.



"I, well... What's wrong with wanting to be more feminine?"



"Nothing," Jaune said with a smile, "But it's a little sudden, you know? And I don't think a purse is great for combat class."



"I would have set it down," Yang grumbled. She sighed and looked back at breakfast, flipping some pancakes off the griddle. Jaune dutifully grabbed a plate and caught them all in a stack. Yang raised an eyebrow and grinned.



"Not bad," she said.



"Thanks," Jaune nodded, "So... What brought it on?"



Yang sighed again.



"... It's stupid," she said, "Neptune said I was a tomboy."



Jaune bit back a growl. That freaking guy that Weiss was mooning over?



"And, well..." She shrugged, "I dunno... I wanted to prove him wrong, I guess." She smiled at him. "So! You wanna help me prove him wrong?"



Jaune held her gaze for a time, before he slowly shook his head.



"Yang? Why do you care what he thinks?"



"I... I dunno," Yang muttered, glancing away again. It felt very familiar.



Jaune sighed and flipped through his Scroll. He held it up to her. Yang stared... And snickered in disbelief.



"I-What?! You're in a dress?!"



"Yup," Jaune said with a nod, "Seven sisters and I was their dress up doll. I also did plenty of sewing, cooking, and other 'girly' stuff."



He flipped through a few more pictures.



"I also helped my dad fix the tractor, put in fence posts, and wrangle livestock," he stated. Yang flushed. Jaune frowned in confusion and glanced at the photo: What was the big deal? He had lost his shirt wrestling that pig in the mud. What was embarrassing about that?



"I guess that, well, what I'm trying to say is: If you want to dress up, cook, and all that? That's great," Jaune said with a smile, "And if you want to be a bruiser with a bike? That's even better. You clearly know how to dress and cook and take care of Ruby."



"I..." Yang looked at him curiously, "How much did she-?"



"A lot," Jaune said with a nod, "It couldn't have been easy."



Yang sucked in a tight breath and glanced out the window for a moment. She returned her gaze back to the food cooking on the stove.



"It... It wasn't," she whispered.



"But that's how I know," Jaune said with a smile, "That you'll be a great mom and wife someday. You don't have to be this... This image of yourself in your head. You just have to be the best you can be. Truly."



Yang glanced at him. Her blush was a bit more pronounced.



"When did you stop being such a... A goof?" She asked quietly. Jaune shrugged, his memory going back to the fight in Forever Fall.



"Let's just say I realized I was trying to be something I wasn't, and I needed to be honest with others and myself," he said softly.



"Well..." Yang sighed. "I... Thanks."



"Any time," Jaune replied with a smile. It made her blush harder for some reason. Weird.



A thought then occurred to him.



"Uh... Why are you cooking in here?" Jaune asked.



Yang coughed.



"Weiss uh... Weiss kind of destroyed our oven when she tried to bake a cake... Wanna join us for breakfast?"



Jaune grinned.



"Would love to. Maybe I could impress Weiss with my cooking? What do you think?"



A flash of annoyance appeared on Yang's face, before her smile returned to normal.



"I don't think she'd appreciate it, Stud... But hey. If it doesn't work out, wanna go blow off some steam training with me?"



"'Stud'?" Jaune asked, confused, "What happened to 'Vomit Boy'?"



"You got promoted," Yang grinned, "What do you say?"



"Sure," Jaune agreed with a smile. Man, did he have great friends.
 
Prompt Ideas

1/ When Jaune ran away from home he met the Barbarian from Dungeon Soup, who took him under his wing and taught him his ways, a very different but horrifyingly effective Jaune joins Beacon, also Ozpin is the Wizard King.

2/ Qrow decides to keep an eye on his nieces while they settle into Beacon, his back luck keeps hitting Jaune who ends up into "interesting" situations, basically Jaunes life turns into a romcom and wins the girls affections, the more Qrow tries to stop it the more it escalates.

3/ Jaune runs out of razors and keeps forgetting to buy more, soon he has a glorious beard and it awakens something in the female populace of beacon, something feral and needy, Jaune: "HAHA! I'm in danger".
 
Here are some more prompts for various characters:

-Jaune is assigned as Glynda's assistant as detention. He does a very good job for her, even makes her great food, gives her a massage and helps her with her paperwork! And now... She's trying very, very hard to remember he's her STUDENT... And not a potential love interest.



-Jaune is actually quite academically gifted and once Pyrrha starts training him, he rises to the top of the classes in terms of grades (save for Combat where he still struggles, albeit not as much). RWBY's reactions to this might be amusing, especially if Weiss is determined to be the Top in EVERY SUBJECT.

-Weiss wants to piss off her daddy. So she invites Sun Wukong to be her date at an SDC official function. However the rest of her friends crash the party out of curiosity, jealousy (Blake) or boredom. However it turns out, it's gonna be a Night to Remember.

-Sun learns that Arslan does not like him after a training mission involving their teams goes badly-Neptune is injured and in the infirmary. He decides to ask why. She states plainly that she feels he will get his team killed, and as she considers Neptune a friend, she is not fond of that. This could lead to Sun examining his leadership style and wondering if Arslan is right. If he is irresponsible... And try to fix that.

-Pyrrha is tasked to lead a random team for a training mission... And it's a disaster. No one is killed, but the rest of Pyrrha's team and Arslan's team had to save them. Arslan is in disbelief: How could her rival be so poor at leadership?! It leads to a confrontation between the two, where they learn a lot about the other and many assumptions are shattered.

-Neptune hits on May Zedong. The shy girl isn't really sure how to tell him no, and before she knows it? She's on a date with him! Her friends won't let this stand!

-Team Indigo is infamous for using civilians as bait for their missions. What would happen if this was revealed to Beacon at large before the Vytal Tournament? (Yes it's from the terrible light novels but it could be interesting to explore).

-Penny and Ciel are encouraged to get out and socialize. Penny is enthusiastic, Ciel is not. They end up in a buddy cop style misadventure.

Rattlesnake Jake expy? Bro of Jaunes after a needlessly complex series of events? Has an absolute hatred for a particular Hawk Faunus that recently joined Adams group?
 
On Arslan and Pyrrha
Also, I finally thought up a potential flaw for Arslan. I mean she is strong, kind, generous, religious, and a good leader and fighter. All good traits to have. She is also calm and wise beyond her years. Her Semblance required her to cultivate her calm, as Pneuma boosts and enhances her Aura and her Aura Control as long as she keeps control over her breathing. It's why she's so phenomenal at Aura-based martial arts (And in the game Amity Park, she can unleash Hadoken-like blasts of Aura).

But at the same time? She can make errors in judgement and misread people. For instance: She made the error that Pyrrha had no desire to be her friend. That she understood Arslan's entreaties for rivalry. As a Stonebreaker, or a member of a Warrior Order in the Church of the Broken Table, rivalries are meant to be friendships. To drive the other towards greater heights and to keep them honest. She thought that Pyrrha understood... But Pyrrha didn't get it. Never reached out or corrected things.

Arslan assumed it was because she was a terrible rival for Pyrrha. After all, she never beat Pyrrha once. And as a result, assumed Pyrrha didn't see her as a worthy friend, either. Which Arslan was very sad about. She found herself lacking and she didn't know in what.

Of course Arslan didn't know that Pyrrha was terminally shy, and that Pyrrha didn't understand what Arslan was doing due to a culture gap. Pyrrha's mother may have known about this but didn't let Pyrrha make friends with Arslan out of paranoia of Pyrrha being used by her.

So Arslan tends to assume that the fault is hers, and she must work very hard to overcome it. She withdraws and while she remains polite and kind, she also stays guarded. She does have a habit of trying to fix things on her own, even though the tenets of her faith demand fellowship. She can be stubborn and too introspective.

So! Other than time travel, how else might Arslan and Pyrrha learn of this misunderstanding and try to become friends?
