Massive population decline. France used to be the most populous nation in Europe. Which gave them the biggest industry and manpower pool in Europe. But fighting all of Europe several times let Germany combine and catch up. Then WW1 was fought almost entirely inside of France and devastated them.
 
Ruby the Rat New
  • Threadmarks
    • Beacon academy is widely considered to be the best huntsmen school in remnant, not just because it produces the most exceptional huntsmen but also because they offer huntsmen support courses for people who want to help but just aren't combatant material.

    Engineers, medics, lawyers, even camp setters. If it can help a huntsmen beacon probably has a course or class for it.

    Up until attending beacon Blake had no problems with any of this. Then she met her.

    Ruby The Rat. A (in)famous engineering student who is well known for her oddities.

    She'll take any junk and scraps you offer as payment for her services. Her workshop is a mess full to the brim with broken weapon bits and spare parts (some of them Blake is pretty sure don't even go to weapons).

    That wouldn't bother Blake (well not too much, that blue stuff in the corner doesn't look safe.), no what really bothers Blake is Ruby is a racist.

    She has to be right? Why else would she have a mechanical mouse tail and ears? Makes her wonder what kind of person raises a 15 year old racist.

    (It wouldn't be until much later that Blake would learn those are actual prosthetics that Ruby has had and upgraded herself since she was a small child who was in a vicious Grimm attack. And her name of Ruby the rat is because of her packrat tendencies, not anything racist.)

    (Blake never did apologize and Ruby never knew she deserved one.)


    Yep it's another world where Yangs Forrest trip went bad. This Ruby had some spinal and skull damage along with losing most of her hearing. The tail and ears are fully functional, they didn't originally look mouse like but Ruby figured leaning into the theme was better than just having unshaped hunks of metal on her head.

    She still wants to help people but her early encounter has left her terrified at the thought of fighting so instead she's become a huntsmen engineer, weapon repairs, upgrades, even vehicles and prosthetics (she's really good with those).

    Also just throwing it out there, some of her personal projects would definitely be of interest to Atlas. (Possibly Penny ship?)

    The second one is closer, except Yang's in her V4 outfit and the drunk, depressed & tired kind of horny.

    A small detail that can work - she is known as "Ruby the packrat" around her hometown, but it was too long for a gamer handle on older console generation.

    Alternatively, in this setting Yang herself might have a lot more metal in her body as well - a whole metal arm up to her shoulder, for example.
     
    The Arc Clan: Visiting the Crimson Demons New
  • Threadmarks
    • JNPR, RWBY, and KDAM were making their way to a small village in Mistral.

    Ruby: "Wow! A mission all the way to Mistral! This is so great, huh Yang?!"

    Yang: "I mean... Mostly, yeah. At least Kazuma's keeping Aqua on a tight leash."

    Aqua: eating some pickles and ice cream "Om nom nom... We wouldn't even need you if I wasn't pregnant!"

    Kazuma: deadpan "Yeah, that's why they came along."

    Aqua: "UWAH! Kazuma! How dare you be mean to the mother of your first child!"

    Darkness: "How dare you not abuse me, your fiance! Oh, but this is also an abuse of sorts~!"

    Megumin: "Seriously Kazuma, you scumbag!"

    Kazuma: sighs "Anyway... Jaune? You can handle the heavy lifting here, right?"

    Jaune: "Sure thing!"

    Pyrrha: "Heavy lifting? You've been here before?"

    Jaune: "Sure! And I've met several Crimson Demons before, not just Megumin!"

    Ren: "The Crimson Demons are renowned throughout Mistral for having powerful Semblances and incredible Aura techniques... Among... Other things."

    Weiss: "Like what?"

    There is a burst of light ahead, and a small explosion. A group of four people with black hair in dramatic outfits appear. They pose, also very dramatically.

    Crimson Demon 1: poses with glasses and a shiny employee ID badge "BEHOLD, WEARY TRAVELER! I am called CHARLIE! I am the most powerful HOTEL MANAGER OF THE CRIMSON DEMONS, AND MY DREAM IS TO ONE DAY BECOME A FIVE STAR HOTEL!"

    Crimson Demon 2: poses with brochures held like shuriken "I AM RENATO, MOST POWERFUL TOUR GUIDE OF THE CRIMSON DEMONS! I dream of making enough money to move out of my parent's home! BEHOLD MY POWER!"

    Crimson Demon 3: adjusts her tie, holds up a clipboard "I AM SENNA, MOST POWERFUL SECRETARY FOR THE CRIMSON DEMON VILLAGE'S CHAMBER OF COMMERCE! I WILL ENSURE A 3 PERCENT REVENUE INCREASE FOR THE VILLAGE WITH OUTSIDE INVESTMENT! HIYAH!"

    RWBY and JNPR stare in utter disbelief. KDAM is non-plussed. Kazuma walks up and does some posing.

    Kazuma: "I am Kazuma Satou, leader of team KDAM, adventurer and peerless rogue. My future wives, Megumin and YunYun, are the foremost archmage of the Crimson Demons."

    Megumin: "THAT'S RIGHT! BEHOLD, I MEGUMIN OF THE CRIMSON DEMONS HAVE SECURED A WEDDING RING FROM KAZUMA! OUR NUPTIALS ARE ALL BUT ASSURED WITH MY RIVAL YUNYUN JOINING ME AS SISTER WIFE!"

    Charlie: "WELL MET, KAZUMA SATOU OF KDAM! BUT WHO ARE YOUR COMPANIONS?! DO THEY REQUIRE ACCOMODATION AT OUR HOTEL?! DO THEY HAVE THE SPIRIT TO WITHSTAND OUR 24 HOUR ROOM SERVICE?!"

    Ruby: "... Huh?"

    Weiss: "What."

    Pyrrha: blinks "... Sorry?"

    Blake: scoffs "So melodramatic."

    Nora: "COOL!"

    Ren: sighs

    Jaune: "Like we planned, guys."

    Nora: "ROGER!"

    Jaune steps forward. He flares his Aura and poses with his hand in front of his face. Ren and Pyrrha follow suit, with Nora standing behind them on her hammer and spreading her arms akin to Captain Ginyu.

    Jaune: "I AM JAUNE ARC, LEADER OF TEAM JNPR AND NOT THE MOST POWERFUL STUDENT AT BEACON! BUT MY DREAM IS TO BECOME A GREAT HUNTSMAN LIKE MY FATHER BEFORE ME! THIS IS MY BOMBER NORA, FEARSOME AND UNPREDICTABLE! MY ASSASSIN REN, SILENT BUT DEADLY! AND PYRRHA, MY LANCER AND STALWART MENTOR, THE INVINCIBLE GIRL!"

    Nora sets off some Dust grenades behind them, sending a pillar of fire into the air. The Crimson Demons all clap and cheer.

    Yang: "... Seriously?"

    Jaune: "It's just how they do things. Go for it, Ruby!"

    Ruby: "Eh? OH! Um..." swings her sniper scythe around "I AM RUBY ROSE, LEADER OF RWBY AND MOST POWERFUL... SKIPPED TWO GRADES... HUNTRESS IN TRAINING AT BEACON! MY DREAM IS TO BE AS GOOD A HUNTRESS AS MY MOTHER AND TO EAT MY OWN WEIGHT IN COOKIES! ALSO I HAVE AN ADORABLE DOG!" She holds up Zwei, who woofs "THIS IS WEISS SCHNEE, MY BEST FEMALE FRIEND AND REALLY GOOD WITH DUST! BLAKE BELLADONNA MY NINJA GIRL WHO LOVES PORN!"

    Blake: "EROTICA!"

    Ruby: "AND MY BIG SISTER YANG WHO SHOULD REALLY BE BACKING ME UP NOW!"

    Yang: sighs, poses behind Ruby.

    Ruby: "WEISS!"

    Weiss: "..." rolls her eyes and salutes with her sword.

    Ruby: "Blake? Blaaaaaake!"

    Blake: Stands there and does nothing

    The Crimson Demons... Boo.

    Megumin: "Jaune's was way better!"

    Senna: "Yeah! Though we really appreciate your business!"

    Ruby: "GUYSSSS!"

    Weiss: "I don't care if it's for a mission, some things are not worth our dignity!"

    Given Mistral's lawless and divided nature, there should be room for a village of super powered weirdos like the Crimson Demons around who are good but very... Eccentric.

    Even she's not dumb enough to willingly attack a village known for a people that will and have carpet bombed an area or their village if it means the bandits die. She's never lived down the shame of being chased away from them.
     
    Didn't the Crimson Demon village, canonically in canon, have a shrine/museum full of stuff from other worlds? I'm pretty sure I remember a knock off of the Master Sword from Zelda, if I'm remembering things right. Which gives me an idea....

    What if there was some Rooster Teeth Team RWBY/JNPR merch in it?
     
    Debts New
  • Threadmarks
    • You know, it occurs to me that Isabel would have been the most well off of teams STRQ and AARN. Arjun and Saia were refugees, Nick was an orphan raised by a hermit, Taiyang was not the most well off, Summer was the last member of her clan, and Raven and Qrow were from a bandit tribe.

    Meanwhile, the Arc Clan wasn't in the best of financial straits but they were definitely better off than all of these people. So Isabel DID provide them with loans from time to time. And favors with her various family members.

    Naturally by the time they left Beacon, the majority of these debts were unpaid... And quite large.

    So when the children of her former teammates begin attending Beacon with her son, Isabel decides it's time to collect. Politely, but firmly.

    • Isabel: "DAMNIT TAI, RAVEN LITERALLY TOOK AN ENTIRE HERD OF COWS! AN ENTIRE HERD!"

    Taiyang: "That doesn't mean we need to have a beef, does it?"

    Pause. Isabel lunges for Tai, while Nick holds her back.

    Isabel: "Let me go, Nick! I'm just gonna break his arms!"

    Nick: "He needs those to sign things!"

    Isabel: "That's a good point."

    Nick: *sighs and lets her go now that she's seen sense* "I'm glad you-"

    Isabel: "But he doesn't need his legs!"

    Taiyang: *running away* "I need my legs!"

    Isabel: "Get back here Xiao Long, your kneecap privileges' have been revoked!"

    Qrow and Ozpin intervene and everyone settles down.

    Qrow: "All right. Look, so Raven owes you a lot. It's not like you're gonna get it out of her-"

    Isabel: "Why not? She'll just run away, is that it?"

    Qrow: "Well... That and she doesn't exactly have anything worth... Ummm..."

    Isabel: "And how exactly do you know that?! Are you keeping in communication with your criminal bandit sister or something?!"

    Ozpin: sip "He's not at liberty to say, Isabel. In any event, I'm sure we can work this debt out with a fair compromise. It can't be that-"

    Isabel slaps the bill down on the table. Ozpin reads it. Taiyang and Qrow look at him hopefully.

    Ozpin: sip "... Oh would you look at the time?" flees

    Taiyang: "Wha-?!"

    Qrow: "OZ! SERIOUSLY?!"

    Isabel: glares, cracks her knuckles

    Nick: "Woah woah woah! Now I'm sure we can work this out. Come on Izzy, these are our good friends! Comrades in arms!"

    Taiyang and Qrow: smile

    Nick: "Sure they're terrible with money... And parenting... And planning for the future..."

    Taiyang: "Seriously dude?!"

    Qrow: "I have a retirement pension! ... Maybe? I should check on that sometime."

    Nick: "But they are our dear friends!"

    Isabel: sighs "... Fine. We'll work out a better way to pay off the debt. First off though, we should be better friends. Jaune, Yang and Ruby don't even know they used to play together as children!"

    Taiyang: "That's true. They are... Childhood friends..." He grins "I think I just thought up a way to pay off our debts, Izzy!"

    Isabel: "And that would be...?"

    Taiyang: "Your son can marry both of my daughters!"

    Isabel and Qrow: "WHAT?!"

    Nick: "Wait, you can do that? Aw man. I've been paying off my loans like Grandpa George told me to! You can marry off your daughters for debt?"

    Isabel: punches him "NO YOU CAN'T!"

    • Arjun and Saia actually have set up a monthly payment system now that Pandu is thriving.

    But to make sure that none of the more volatile elements in the kingdom take it in a bad way and start a rumor that the new rulers are just as corrupt and embezzling funds for their own needs Saia came up with a brilliant Idea!

    Her Idea? Well why not make Arc's as the legally allied partners of Pandu that provide protection, Alcohol and Medical facilities to them.

    No one dare says anything against it , they saw the ferocity of Nick and Isabelle Arc in protecting their homeland, the medical genius of Isabelle actually creating the entirety of medical experts training and code of conduct(taking inspiration from Tsunade here)

    Plus no one wants to miss out on the sweet Arc Winery produce.

    Still some people have doubts that the Arcs will use it to their own benefits so Saia revealed her trap card.

    A legal matrimony of the heir to Pandu's Throne and any one of Arc children.

    But that thing became problematic when Maia/May went missing so now the rulers were facing a lot of pressure to marry Abhimanyu with one of the Arc children.

    So with a heavy heart the Parents on both sides(Arjun and Saia along with Isabelle and Nick) decided to make a sham marriage between anyone of the girls and Abhimanyu in which both the parties will be free to pursue whoever they wish to in secret and the conception of the next child will be done in secret via IVF and a secret Incubation facility at La-Arc-en-Ciel.

    Both sides were not happy to put this on their children until the good news arrives, our resident Sniper seems to have gained a taste for the resident Paladin and it seems the feeling is mutual(they meet in Vale festival and hit it off, but during the assault at Vale, Jaune signals his parents and they come with backup in the form of Pandu's royal couple)

    After the shenanigans(Pyrrha lives) there are still two main plots going on.

    1. Actively dealing with Salem's forces now that they have shown their opening hand.

    2. Making sure the next line of succession for Pandu's throne is ready for her ascension along with her prince consort(Both the families are trying their damn hardest to make sure May and Jaune tie the knot)

    The feelings are their but so is the conflict with Pyrrha still doing her "kiss you one last time" thing.

    Except now she can't conveniently die off and let Jaune comes to term with it.

    (Pyrrha has some royality in her due to her being descendant of the Myrmidions' last ruler The Invincible Achilles)

    It's a thrilling tale for a Saint's heart, two warrior Princesses and neither of them ready to back down.

    Whose mark shall hit true? Two descendants of Lightning and yet only one wire to their Hearts.

    Achilles was the son of Zeus and Arjun is the son of Indra.

    • Tangy is briefed by General Ironwood before she takes command of Vale's Defense Forces around Vale itself... And...

    Tangy: "... Why are we putting everything into mindless robots all attached to a single network? Forgive me General, but I'm making sure the VDF defense systems have multiple redundancies and back ups to ensure nothing goes wrong."

    Ironwood: "I assure you the system cannot be compromised-"

    Tangy: "And your assurances are not worth the lives of millions of people, especially since the security systems of Vale have already been compromised. How else would White Fang and Roman Torchwick be clowning on the police and your own security forces? Good grief, nobody was checking for unusual activity around Mount Glenn? It's a giant abandoned city, raiders and bandits would still be stripping it bare even with the Grimm and it has a tunnel right into the city rail network. A guard needed to be on it at least."

    Ironwood: "I see. You have the authority to do as you wish in regards to your own forces as long as they do not interfere with mine."

    Tangy: "Good. I will. Visha! Weiss! Start issuing all our troops the following." Hands out shovels and bayonets.

    Ironwood: "Shovels and bayonets?"

    Tangy: "Shovels mean fortifications, graves, trenches, ditches, latrines, camps, dams, roads, sandbags, bunkers, and can function as a weapon-In short, everything you need to wage war. And bayonets mean your gun is now a spear when you run out of ammo."

    Ironwood: "I see... Your approach is old fashioned."

    Tangy: "That is the nature of warfare, sir. Many things about it change, but many things about it will never change."

    That's basically the logic behind mechashift weapons, when the Grimm get close you can't just keep shooting them. Bayonets are a reasonable alternative.

    Honestly the real thing holding Remnant back from destroying the Grimm is lacking gunpowder. All their weapons use dust instead, meaning they are way more expensive. Imagine the damage an artillery barrage could do. Especially to ancient Grimm who are fairly slow.
