Now I want to see Penny get offended when someone calls a Roomba a clanker.

because of the slur or because it's her word?


... sorry it's been an odd day.

Clanker is a "slur" used most often in the context of Star Wars from the tv show "The Clone Wars". They're used to reference the droid army of the separatists in a deragotory manner that is pg for children.

 

[SharkCultist]

Just had a weird but funny idea.

The group (outside of Ren) find out that Nora actually has a bunch of hammers.

Magnhild is of course for huntress stuff.

But she's got hammers for everything from smashing watermelon to fixing a wobbly table.

But the reason the teams find out about the excess hammers is because a girl is flirting with Ren so Nora reaches into her hammer storage and pulls out a beast of a hammer.

Covered in rust, what appears to be lemon juice, barbed wire, and lightning dust the teams are introduced to the Protect Ren from Hoes Hammer. Also known as Bitch Breaker.

 

[Ardrianian]

First, it's telling that one must be well versed in multiple Fandoms to even know the memes and then make a coherent argument about a character using those memes.
Secondly, Nora needs to have a manicial grin frothing at the mouth when she pulls Bitch Breaker out. (Lovingly known as BB in Nora's mind)

Dragonslayer Week really wiped me out. Hell, I have another half dozen fics I just didn't get done in time for it! And another half dozen that are but are still on my Patreon. So I'm just chilling.

I did have a silly idea. Jaune has a passion for gory horror movies. Being a farmboy, he's seen way worse slaughtering pigs and cows and chickens, so he's basically immune to such movies. Nora, Ren and Ruby have similar non-issues when it comes to gore in movies for various reasons. Blake, Yang,Pyrrha and Weiss are all wusses when it comes to horror movies. So you see how things go on movie night when there's some extra gory horror films.

*Jaune sees a horror movie about a murderous hillbilly on a farm killing huntresses. He's visibly annoyed.*

Jaune:....so this is what it's like to be Blake. Not a fan.

*Blake, Yang, and Weiss remember he's a farm boy and scream bloody murder. Pyrrha fainted half a hour ago*

My brain immediately went to "alright, now which one is gonna mistake the found footage splatter film for real and have a freakout when none of her friends call the police? Especially since all of her friends will be too surprised by her conclusion to tell her otherwise."

*Jaune sees a horror movie about a murderous hillbilly on a farm killing huntresses. He's visibly annoyed.*

And the second place my brain went was to have Jaune express his disgust - cut to Jaune having a Gunnar Hansen style chainsaw tantrum - right as a couple of plainclothes White Fang spies, or maybe even Ilya, get eyes on the guy that Adam and Cinder told them to be in the lookout for and to track. Jaune twigs to their presence and the idea of having someone to talk to improves his mood. Unfortunately, his body is still stuck in the incandescent. And the spies see this smiling, eye and lip twitching, man with a chainsaw in a white-knuckle grip casually trotting towards them, seemingly oblivious to the way he keeps revving the weapon. (Jaune wants to wave but every time he tries to let go of the trigger his hand slips slightly before locking back into place and revving the chainsaw again).

Penny and Ruby

Spoiler: Nuts and Dolts

Ruby decks Blake if she even thinks the repeat racist calls Penny a Clanker

---

Jaune gets stereotyped for being a farm boy and wine raised past noble by the movies Blake brings to Team hangout night

And calls Neon a fake cat girl as well as demean Velvet as submissive for being a Bunny Faunus [Cardin broken hip would dissagree]

Does she insult Sage Flynt and Emerald? Like in step-sibling war were she assume Arslan would wear either harem clothes or gyaru

 

[zMADLAXz]

If you really really want a Power Fantasy in RWBY, Ren is the best choice to self insert.

Assuming you self insert into him at the start of series, you have a lot of advantages.

Why is that now you may ask? Well settle down and let Big bro tell you why.

1) As soon as you insert into him you have the best possible hand to hand arsenal someone could ask for.

• You have one of the best Aura Manipulation capabilities in the world
• Your semblance allows you to escape grimm handily if for the rare chance you can't fight them
• Amazing hand to hand and weapons skills together something that we see rarely in the series.

2) You have Nora who is always a plus to have in life. Whether platonically or romantically, if I Man up and say I want a single waifu then it is Nora.

• She is Strong.
• She is beautiful.
• you won't face the typical downsides of dating any of the other female characters(excpet for Pyrrha)

Now the rest of the points are assuming two things: You are cunning and you are a little patient. And buckle up because I am fully embracing my inner chinese noble who would handle the decisions of the court of the emperor from the shadows.

The Ideal scenario would be to still let Jaune be the team leader so you can do your own thing without much scrutiny whenever you need to execute any of your schemes that you come up with by leveraging your meta knowledge.

3) You have an incredibly potential rich team leader who is also naïve as fuck whihc means that within reason you can direct him towards his super op semblance early which you get to reap the benefits of.

So explaining it like I am a complete bastard- You get your own personal heal slut that can also buff you just as easily(this is me assuming that the SI Ren is an absolute bastard that they would see Jaune this way).

Because a good schemer understands that the more desperate your pawn and the more capable you make'em? The more Loyal and useful they are.

Not only that you are on the team with the strongest person in the entire student body. You are never unsafe.

Through some creativity you can bag Pyrrha if you want to(the eventual clash between her and Nora is gonna be bloody so you might have to choose between them), or you can again train Jaune as her handler for you by subtly directing him towards her and how he needs to act.

The best thing is, he is gullible and stupid enough that if you point out Pyrrha's self destructive mindset early enough you can use that as a wrench to turn her even more loyal towards the team and chose life over stupid Noble Sacrifice.

Heck you also score a Maiden on your team if you a) Train Jaune propoerly so that Pyrrha has higher chances of Survival and b) make him realise that Weiss is absolutely shallow and not worth it by subtly comparing her with Nora and Pyrrha during random talks and pointing out in minute ways how she is lacking as a potential girlfriend.

You can also score another Maiden by killing Raven.

Ok so this one is from the left field a bit but let me cook here.

If you manage to save Beacon then you can still direct the team a little towards Haven by using your childhood as an excuse to visit Kurogiri.

There, instead of being all passive and everything you actively look out for Salem's agents as they come for the Relic. There you maintain constant vigilance around Raven's camp.

You convince the team that killing Raven and the rest of them is the best thing because the Vault for the relic can only be opened by the Spring Maiden. The team believes you because you have been a good teammate and somebody who's opinion everyone looks for.

By leveraging some portion of Maiden power that Pyrrha got(possibly at least of it since Jaune could constantly use his semblance to buff her during the transfer which could make the transfer smoother), your own vastly improved team and your own meta knowledge of Raven's abilities.

As Raven is dying you mention Nora's name and voila! Her last thought is of Nora and hence she becomes the new Spring Maiden.

Now congratulations you sociopathic schemer you, you have successfully attained two maidens and an op white mage that also buffs you and acts as another combatant as part of your loyal minions.

Then if you use this strategy here that I mentioned in the temporal step sibling war

Spoiler: Easy solution to the V8 problem

Honestly the whole problem of V8 is stupid, Atlas has the best Technology and if they really used the staff of creation then using the brilliant scientists of Atlas with advanced computers to run simulations, they could have drafted the plans to make Mantle and Atas as veritable fortresses with all the infrastructure they would need to not only make it into an a heavily defended place and provide all the necessities of the people.

Seriously the one drawback of that staff is that you need to have a clear picture to what you wish to create which could easily be solved by the above proposed method.

Fix the infrastructure for both Mantle and Atlas and the only thing they need to do is use their advanced German Atlas technology and make plans.

Congratulations, you have won RWBY. Now your next objective is to survive coitus with Nora.

I can only recommend copious amount of fluids, Good amount of buffs from Jaune, hopes and prayers.

Godspeed soldier.

So I finally caved and watched the hbomberguy's video on RWBY and since I had never watched Cowboy Bebop I was blown away.

The reason Zwei is a Corgi and is even named Zwei is because Cowboy Bebop had a corgi named Ein?!

They used German number names and I was thinking that RWBY had done something great.

TBH now that I watched this video I really don't understand why people shit on people who have watched this video and form opinions based on it.

I have watched the show and this guy is making good points. Though I might disagree on some points he told about the exposition but when he reminded that it took 5 seasons to finalise a name for the magic system of RWBY I realised that his criticism is pretty justified.

Naw, she's the one to call the roomba a clanker.

 

[AndrewJTalon]

RWBY and JNPR were walking through the courtyard, excitedly talking.

Weiss: "We need to maximize our training for Vytal! I won't settle for anything less than the finals!"

Yang: "Hey! I wanna win this thing too, Weiss-cream, but I think semi-finals is best we're gonna do with Pyrrha and Penny involved. They are crazy strong."

Ruby: "Yeah! I've been running the numbers and geez!"

Jaune: "Well now, don't count yourselves out just yet, ladies. After all, Pyrrha might not be up to it."

Pyrrha: gasp "Jaune!"

Jaune: grins and winks "Why, she might catch cold day of and only make it to the semis."

Pyrrha: pouts as the other girls giggle "That's not very funny, Jaune!" She's blushing brightly

Yang: "Still, least Stud can tease. You wanna try that with me, Cowboy~?"

Weiss: "YANG!"

Jaune: "Now that's a game I don't plan on getting in. Nobody wins."

Yang: "Or we both could~."

Weiss: "YANG!" She groans as there is a musical note in the background... And she then trips. "AH!"

She slams facefirst into the pavement. Yang is the first to pull her up.

A lower key variation of one of Weiss's songs is played nearby on a trumpet. Weiss frowns as she turns. A dark young man in Atlasian dress plays, and smirks at her over his trumpet. He lowers it.

Flynt Coal: "Sorry bout that. But it was worth it to see Miss High and Mighty faceplant."

Ruby: "HEY! You can't use weapons on other students outside of Combat Class!"

Flynt: "Who? Me? That was an accident."

Ren: "It was not."

Flynt: "Well, call it a small bit of payback for what her family did to mine. Flynt Coal."

Blake: "... Of Coal Dust Distribution?"

Flynt: "My father. Her father put mine out of business."

Ruby: "SO!? That was her father, not her!"

Flynt: "A Schnee's a Schnee."

Yang: growls "That's no excuse! I'm going to break your smug face-!"

Pyrrha holds Yang back. Yang growls. She looks around for support. She sees Jaune stepping forward, eyes narrowed.

Jaune: tightly "Mister Coal. I believe you owe this lady an apology."

Flynt: scoffing laugh "What? Like hell I do!"

Jaune: "Where I come from, Mister Coal, a man hits a woman he doesn't get to keep his teeth. However, I am trying to adhere to the rules of this institution. So once again, you owe her an apology."

Flynt: "Ah. Heard about you. Arc, wasn't it? I heard you've killed men."

Jaune: "That's right. I have."

Flynt: "You think you're tough, do you?"

Jaune: "Tough enough for you."

Ruby: "H-Hey! Let's chill out! Hang on... How about this? If Jaune beats you in a contest that doesn't involve violence, will you apologize to Weiss?"

Flynt: "Hmph... All right, pipsqueak. But I pick the contest. Music." smirks

Jaune: "Fine. We'll need a neutral judge."

Flynt: "Suits me fine!"

Jaune got his guitar. Flynt prepared his trumpet. Ruby brought in Glynda Goodwitch.

Glynda: "Well... I would be happy to judge this."

Flynt: "Sounds good, Professor."

Jaune: "Yes ma'am."

Glynda: "Begin!"

Flynt plays a sweet jazz piece that even Weiss could admit was very nice. It attracts a crowd that enjoy it. Flynt finishes with a flourish, and gets some applause. He smirked at Jaune.

Flynt: "Go ahead, redneck."

Glynda: "Mister Coal! Kindly keep yourself in check."

Flynt: "Yes ma'am."

Jaune then plays a song, and begins to sing.

Jaune:
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to ol' Hentucky
The place where I was born and raised~!"

He pours a great deal of passion and even pathos. And soon attracts a crowd that begins to clap and dance along. Jaune finishes with his own flourish, and is greeted by cheers.

Glynda: "Well... If it comes to technique, then Mister Coal has won. When it comes to passion, I believe it would be down to Mister Arc. I believe you two should resolve this yourselves."

Flynt: "..." sighs "Not bad, cowboy." He smiles in respect to Jaune

Jaune: Modest as ever. "Me? Nah. Just an amateur. You have a lot of talent."

Flynt: "..." Looks over at Weiss "Look, I'm sorry. That wasn't cool."

Weiss: glares "..." Ruby elbows her "... Thank you."

Flynt: "I thought he was singing just to simp for you... But the music carries the true heart of the musician. So... Thank you. Maybe we could jam together. You as well, Schnee-"

Jaune: clears his throat. Nora and Yang both punch their palms.

Flynt: "... Miss Schnee."

Weiss: "... It would be nice. It's been a while since I got to make any music."

Flynt: "I will admit, I have never listened to any of your songs... Out of spite. Maybe I should change that."

Weiss: "I... I would appreciate that. Though I will admit, the words were... Not mine. Or not as much mine as I would wish."

Flynt: "Well hell, we could come up with something, right Cowboy?"

Jaune: "I wouldn't mind it, Mister Coal."

Flynt: "Heh! Call me Flynt!"

Jaune: smiles "Thank you, Flynt. Call me Jaune. Please ladies, friends? If you'll excuse me?"

Jaune and Flynt headed off with Weiss. Yang, Pyrrha, and Ruby scowled after them.

Pyrrha: "I've sung with him... Why didn't they invite me...?"

Yang: "I can sing too ya know!"

Ruby: "I can make noise!"

Nora: "Come on guys! What's suggestive about Jaune-Jaune, Weissy, and Flynty going off to make beautiful music together?"

Ren sighs. Blake is already writing a new fanfic.

I remember reading something that had someone ask the devil about that story.

And the devil said the guys challenge was that "he could beat the devil with any instrument." So the devil gave him a solid gold fiddle to play.


And the guy beat the shit out of the devil with it and ran off. Devil let him go because of the sheer balls and technically because he did exactly what he said.

This reminds me of my own self-insert idea (or rather... Transmigrator I guess... That's what it's called when the person or people aren't you or anyone based on you right? - Seriously, I don't know.).

Dredged up from his whiskey cellar (Count generally is not a fan of wine) is What The Caterwauling Hell?! Four friends, being: a guy who spends way too much money on War Thunder, a guy who is way too easily influenced by media and bases his entire personality on the last show he watched/book he read, a small-medium time Vtuber/professionally degenerate e-thot with a gacha game addiction and obsession with the size of her own knockers, and a quiet mild-mannered fellow who I have admittedly not fleshed out too much, but he generally seems to do the most profusely disturbing and unhinged shit without any more than the occasional wry smile, find themselves on Remnant after getting intimately acquainted with Truck-kun's front bumper.

Of course, if you paid attention to the title, you probably already guessed who they end up reincarnating as. Which is diddly-damn fine by them considering their dissatisfaction with... certain seasons & elements of the show and the apocalyptic consequences that it can now lead to. In short, they're mad and Remnant's gonna pay for it.

Watts went from just having bought a virtual E-100 that cost roughly as much as a real car to not only having his funding cut and his project getting canned, by the Atlesian higher ups, but having the size of his genitalia directly insulted by Ironwood (this exists purely in his own head, but if you all probably know enough about how my mind puts things together to believe me when I say that somebody could conceivably look at Due Process and take it as an insult about their reproductive viability) - Contrary to popular belief Count does not actually dislike Ironwood. Count likes Ironwood and finds him a sympathetic character, he just thinks Ironwood is dumb or at least guileless and incompetent.

But this leads to Watts signing up with Salem and swearing to Operation: British Atlas into Vale - he calls it Operation: Vytal. "The Vytal Festival is all about uniting the Kingdoms, your Majesty, and I am going to bring Atlas and Vale very close together... Unfortunately, no matter how I do the math Operation: Vytal in, its present configuration, can only generate between 1/322 and 1/23 the impact energy to guarantee complete extinction of all life on Remnant, except for yourself of course."

Salem (who is internally screaming at the idea of being that kind of alone again): "That's actually better for me Arthur... I want Ozma to see his failure... And there it is again, seriously, why do you four keep staring at me wide-eyed and muttering 'Sasuga' every time I say something."

As you can see this fic basically follows the Overlord premise, kind of, with Salem trying to be herself, failing, and having to put up with four minions who far outstrip her in terms of villainy (it helps that the don't consider anyone on Remnant to be real people - play it for horror or play it for comedy Count is unsure).

The only joke I had thought of for Tyrian by this point is that he had been playing a lot of Warhammer Fantasy/Vermintide. I just imagine his first encounter with Team RNJR and the drunk uncle "By Salem, you've posted CRINGE! Prepare to be judged." Just after Qrow explains Ozpin's secret war. And there goes any shred of seriousness or legitimacy that he could impress upon them.

Cinder's rivalry with Watts seems mostly to revolve around their spending habits, but I do have it that they would actually be a very productive team (Watts recruits Cinder earlier on when he's staying at the Glass Unicorn - he's back in Atlas again a few years after faking his own death to get a read on their security updates. He spots Cinder and realizes that she'd make a useful puppet (if handled correctly - this is before he realizes that she also got isekai'd). So he kills her stepmother & sisters and leaves her to inherit the Glass Unicorn. Cinder goes through Atlas Academy and briefly lives as a Huntress before becoming a prolific Hotel & Casino mogul (a very useful cover for her operations and tracking down Maidens). A complete degenerate, and also the one with the most broken synergies in her abilities, if Watts is the Demiurge, she's the Shalltear of the bunch.

Hazel I haven't fleshed out too much beyond reworking his Semblance so any Dust he injects himself with makes him more like a Logia user.

And, of course, I imagine Watts and Tyrian rigging up a sound system somewhere to play literal Overlord soundtracks when Salem makes her debut, and subsequently cranking the volume and blowing her ears out.

A good inspired Idea count. I am not really fan of the Salem faction except for Arthur himself but a transmigration that considers the live people of Remnant as NPCs in their own playground is quite reminiscent of early Subaru from Re:Zero.

On a sidenote, does your name happen to be a reference to something or perhaps your own preference towards the wise owl?

 

[AndrewJTalon]

Yang was pretty quiet the whole trip up to northern Sanus. It wasn't like she had much more to say, after all.

She watched the world go by through the window of the armored train car, then the Bullhead. Radian looked pretty gorgeous, in a corny, fairy tale sort of way. A big white castle, a mountain with a waterfall, fields of green grass and forests around a cozy town enclosed by walls with banners-It could fit into any Wizney production easily.

Taiyang led them to the local hotel to prepare. Her father hadn't said much since he'd dropped this bombshell on them. He hadn't smiled a lot, either. Another failure from her father, what a surprise. At least he was quiet about it.

Ruby for her part wouldn't shut up. Not even when she was pulling on her beizi and other ceremonial vestments. She didn't wear them often, but she had to admit, looking at herself in the mirror in her golden and yellow dress, she did look beautiful in them.

Ruby: "You can't just get married! You can't!"

Yang: sighs "What do you want me to do, Ruby? Dad and Uncle Qrow said they had a debt to pay, and since we don't have the money, this is what we can offer."

Ruby: "You shouldn't give up your whole life for me! It's not fair!" She began to cry "Not anymore!"

Yang: "Ruby..."

Yang hugged her little sister tightly. She stroked her hair. She held back her own tears... Because she had to be the strong one.

Yang: "Ruby... You can't fulfill this. You're too young. Besides, it's just a marriage meeting-"

Ruby: "Wh-What if he's an old creep?! A weirdo?!"

Yang: grimly "Then I'll do what I have to do. Hopefully if he's some old creep, he'll just let me finish school before we have to marry."

Ruby: "What kind of stupid debt are you supposed to sell yourself for, anyway?!"

Taiyang entered. He cleared his throat. Ruby glared death at him, while Yang looked resigned. Taiyang was smiling.

Taiyang: "Hey... He's here."

Yang: "... What's he like?"

Taiyang: "He's your age, actually. Goes to Beacon too. We know his parents."

Ruby: "Wait, we do?! Then why are they calling in this debt like this?! What friends do this?!"

Taiyang: sighs "Well... It's not just his family pushing it. Granny Xiao-Long and his granny are very old fashioned. See, his parents saved us, and we saved them... And uh... We had to ask for a few loans to build the house, and they were actually good with money..."

Yang: exasperated "Daaaad..."

Taiyang: "Relax! It's just an engagement for now. You two meet, if you hit it off, no harm, no foul. You get married when you finish school. If not? Well... We'll figure out a way to pay off the debt in a face saving manner."

Ruby: "What, like you killing yourself for a debt of honor?"

Taiyang: "Maybe."

Ruby: eyes wide "I DIDN'T MEAN IT!" She hugs Taiyang "I'M SORRY DAD!"

Yang: "He goes to Beacon? Who is he?"

Taiyang: smiles "It's tradition to keep that quiet until you meet. Come on Ruby, you gotta get into traditional dress too."

Ruby: "Hmph... Fine... But if he's a jerk, I'm gonna kick his butt!"

Taiyang: "Trust me, you'll have to get in line."

Ruby dressed in her own red and black Beizi, Moxiong, and Songku. Taiyang did up Yang's hair in an elegant brain with a hairclip, and did Ruby's with a similar hairclip. He stood back and smiled warmly.

Taiyang: "Your mothers would be very proud."

Ruby: "Aw, Dad..."

Yang: sighs "Let's just get this over with, huh?"

The party headed out down the hallway. Yang mentally considered who she knew from Beacon who could be the prospective groom. Couldn't be anyone from Team CRDL... She hoped. One of the other boys? Hm...

They finally entered into a private conference room. While the Xiao-Longs/Roses had opted for traditional Mistralian dress, the groom's party was in traditional Valean dress. A beautiful older blonde woman with blue eyes and a figure to die for was in a classy green gown with a simple golden circlet. A seven foot tall blondman with a beard, gray eyes, and a scar over his right cheek stood by her in light white and black armor, a blue cape hanging from his shoulders and a silver circlet around his head. A stately looking older woman in blue dress and a golden crown stood with the other woman, her hair white, her eyes with wrinkles, yet she still stood like a warrior queen with her sword and red and white furred cape. A tall, older, tanned man with white hair stood by her, in red vestments, light black and white armor, and twin swords on his belt. His eyes were a warm brown, and he smiled at them.

The old woman nodded to them, and Taiyang, Ruby and Yang bowed respectfully.

Taiyang: "Thank you for your welcome, Your Majesty, Queen Arturia, Consort Shirou, Lord and Lady Nick and Isabel of Radian."

Ruby: eyes widen

Yang: Wait, Queen Arturia?! The former Empress of the Vytalian Empire?! And Shirou, Master of Unlimited Blade Works?!

She'd heard of them, since Ruby was a fan of top ten fighters. Two of the most fearsome warriors in Valean history! Nick and Isabel also seemed familiar but she couldn't explain why.

Arturia: smiles "Well met, Taiyang Xiao-long of Patch. Word of you and your great deeds has reached me. Your grandmother is a mighty warrior, and despite our rivalry, she has my undying respect."

Yang: Granny Xiao-Long fought alongside the Lion Saber Queen?! Holy shit! Who IS this guy?!

Taiyang: "Thank you. Your own deeds, and those of your family, are also legendary. It helps I was there for some of them."

Tall Guy in Armor: "Heh! It's great to see you again, Tai!"

Taiyang: "You as well Nick, Izzy."

The woman sighed.

Isabel: "Isabel, please. And you are Yang and Ruby. It's nice to see you again. You played with my son long ago, I don't expect you to remember it."

Ruby: "Wait, we did?!"

Nick: "Before Summer... I'm sorry."

Taiyang: "It's all right."

Yang: "Wait, we know him?! Where is he?!"

Shirou: "We wanted it to be a surprise." He calls out "Come in!"

A side door opened. In stepped a familiar tall blonde boy in properly fitted white and black armor, a long blue cape, with an equally familiar sword and shield at his side.

Jaune: "Yes Papa, I'm here. It's good to meet yo-Yang?! Ruby?!"

Yang: "Vomit Boy?!"

Ruby: "Jaune?!"

Qrow, who had been skulking outside, stuck his head in through the open main door and grinned.

Qrow: "Yup. Totally worth it for the looks on their faces."

The correct choice to make in this situation, Yang, is not to bite the bullet.

The correct choice would have been to grab Ruby and walk the fuck out of Taiyang's life.

Anyone who would sell their daughter to build a house is not worthy of being called family.

I remember reading something that had someone ask the devil about that story.

And the devil said the guys challenge was that "he could beat the devil with any instrument." So the devil gave him a solid gold fiddle to play.


And the guy beat the shit out of the devil with it and ran off. Devil let him go because of the sheer balls and technically because he did exactly what he said.

He was technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct. You ever hear the song that was made that is a continuation of that song?

Idea: Badass Normal Jaune

Like in canon Jaune didn't have his Aura unlocked, but he has gotten so much training in swordsmanship that it doesn't really matter, and it isn't until the second year that anyone finds out that he doesn't have Aura unlocked at all.

Sure he can't take a hit, but that only matters if they actually hit you, and good luck actually hitting him.
Jaune's gotten so fast and good at evading that he's dodged all shots fired at him and only been hit a couple of times he's been at Beacon (and always on his armor, which does trigger the low-Aura sensor).
This means he's a glass cannon and that Jaune needs to end fights as fast as possible, so his fights often last less than a minute (the only one's that don't are Pyrrha because she's just that good, and Ruby because they're basically in a speedblitz stalemate until one of them gets a hit in and it's over).

And Jaune's swordsmanship is so good he cuts someone with full Aura and armor with a single swordstrike, so tanking a hit from him isn't an option the other students have.
All of this has made Jaune incredibly annoying to fight, so he's not exactly popular from that, especially because Jaune fights really dirty (because not having Aura makes that a necessity) and means he still trains a lot with just Pyrrha.
The real scary thing about fighting Jaune is that he doesn't have any fancy or flashy moves, but he honed the basic sword fighting skills to such a level that any hit is a killing blow or KO to fast to even blink and incredibly precise, and nobody is sure what exactly his Semblance even does.
Shooting him also doesn't help when he just cuts the bullets, and if he's at a range he likely to blitz around and probably throw sand at their eyes or throw a small bomb or flashbang as a distraction.

Yang both likes fighting Jaune but also is incredibly frustrated by it, because he's a real tough challenge to overcome and become a better fighter, but she's also never been able to hit him.
Jaune is also still a healer, but that's because he still has all of that fanon medical training, which is an incredible usefull asset to any team.

Possible backstory for this:
Jaune became this good by learning from his parents and from his grandfather from his fathers side (I'm getting sick of constant Fate characters in every fanfic I come across, as I'm not a fan of the franchise and they're bloody everywhere, so lets use some other characters for this, jusst for variety's sake).
His grandfather is an impossibly good swordsman (think Mihawk, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Takamura from Sakamoto Days, or Miyamoto Musashi in any anime/manga), but also senile, so he can't really interact with the world all that well outside of things involving swordsmanship, so Jaune trained with him a lot to keep him company.

...I have something we could add on to make it funner.

By the time Jaune learns about aura he sees it as nothing but a crutch and flat out refuses to have it unlocked.

Goodwitch and Ozpin tried to forcefully unlock it (because he'd be a much more efficient tool for fighting Grimm in their eyes). But he's so fucking stubborn that his soul refuses to budge unless Jaune makes that choice.

Yeah usually Andrew has really good Ideas, but this one is something I really hate.

I cannot discern why go with this kind of setup?

Besides if you actually have to then make a sort of Medieval AU where you could justify it as a marriage contract between nobles rather than selling Yang.

I am not a big fan of that as well but it would have been magnitudes better.

That's actually a fantastic idea, and not just for the sake of comedy.

A small addendum to that; They actually literally can't forcefully unlock Jaune's Aura, because it's a process that involves literally opening up you soul, which isn't happening if you try to force something upon someone.

When unlocking someones Aura there needs to be some emotional give and take, both have to be willing to do it and open up their hearts on some level, and the least of which requires free will and feeling like you can.
Trying to force Aura on someone who doesn't want it will literally only make them more closed off, making it even more impossible than it already was.

So when Jaune's friends ask him if they can please unlock his Aura because they don't want him to get hurt, despite it being a crutch, because they're his friends and they love him, they will actually be able to unlock his Aura.

Loads of story potential and themes about opening up right there with that idea.

 

[ThunderBasilisk]

So many shenanigans with a marriage scenario between these two

 

[SharkCultist]

So a idea to twist up rwby a bit. It also makes Ozpin more morally ambiguous.


Salem broke into the gates of the afterlife to retrieve her husband.

Enraged the gods trapped her inside the gateway to be tortured for eternity by the flood of demons coming out the doorway and souls coming into it.

Oz sets up huntsmen to quell the demons. While looking for a way to free Salem.

What he isn't telling anyone is that the gods told him flat out that he can close the gate himself, Salem will die and the demons will stop.

But oz can't bring himself to kill her

Maybe let me post the second bit before you jump to conclusions? Honestly you Zoomers, so impatient and always leaping to the most ridiculous conclusions. Have some chill. You'll see what I have in store.

 

[CountvonBarnOwl]

A good inspired Idea count. I am not really fan of the Salem faction except for Arthur himself but a transmigration that considers the live people of Remnant as NPCs in their own playground is quite reminiscent of early Subaru from Re:Zero.

On a sidenote, does your name happen to be a reference to something or perhaps your own preference towards the wise owl?

Click to shrink...

While I do admit I have a particular fondness for owls as birds, and I do prefer them for their wisdom, majesty, and mystique, and they're always the first birds I tried to hold or interact with whenever the bird person came to school, it does come from somewhere. Funny story actually, but there is a reference behind it. I needed a name for this site, but I didn't want it to follow any of my normal patterns. Of course I succeeded in ducking every pattern save one. I didn't come up with a name, I came up with a whole character. But to understand that, you have to understand my love of the Sly Cooper games which I played like there was no tomorrow as a kid. 1 & 2 are my favorites, vying for primacy even now, followed by 3, which I played the stuffing out of, and then four. From that I got the idea for the animal guise. Now, one thing I'm amazed that I have not yet actually done, I think, is working a joke - for those familiar - into any of my posts about how my sentiments toward the direction of Seasons 7 and beyond have probably extended my lifespan by a century or two. Of course, if you ever see pictures of teenage County you'll see him as having more in common with Arpeggio than Clockwerk. Yes I made an AI art of teenage Count too.

Oh we can go even farther down this road if you want. He could be like the Chosen Undead of Remnant. Every Huntsman/Huntress is a boss and he's doing a no-hit run. He's good enough to dodge everything thrown his way, and he mostly wears his shield on his back. The real agony with fighting Jaune in this form is the slow beating he hands out. Chipping his enemy down one hit at a time before rolling out of the way and coming back in again. Then can come the moment, where he pulls a parry or gets behind his opponent and lands an impossibly nasty blow.
