Honestly, Torchwick would have been trying to get out of working for Cinder constantly. He's a gentleman thief, he can't be a crime lord and boss over GRIMM, now can he? I just hate how they took his character, making him into the Joker when he was far more interesting as a long suffering debonaire criminal mastermind forced to work for terrorists.

What if that's on purpose? Make them robust enough to survive Grimm attacks. But make the system fragile enough that any big human on human fight near them could be a risk.

People rely on those things so they're definitely not gonna want to damage them..so it might cut down on conflicts a bit around them.

I bet it's simpler than that, I think initiation is way easier than we are shown.
Think about it, if Jaune hadn't woken up the ancient Grimm Stalker team jnpr wouldn't have fought anything stronger than a Beowolf. Usra Majors are just much stronger than the Grimm beacon allows to stay in their initiation. RWBY got attacked by a flying Grimm who was over the level cap and Jnpr woke up a Grimm that beacon missed.

 

[CountvonBarnOwl]

So, on the NSFW and on SB I was kicking around the idea of cyborg Whitley for Whiter Rose purposes. To reiterate here, my premise follows the idea that the White fang target the Schnee family car/limo/motorcade/convoy/whatever and Whitley suffers a near/direct impact or two from their rockets. Jacques, being himself decides to have the Atlesian taxpayers foot the bill for getting Whitley a new body that isn't 97% charred hamburger by threatening the Army/public infrastructure's Dust supply. Ironwood agrees, but he attaches a condition. Either A) Whitley works for the Atlesian army as an R&D contractor or B) completes a tour of duty. Jacques agrees to the former, thinking it will earn him inside knowledge of what goes on at Atlas DARPA.

Ironwood then goes to Pietro (or whichever other scientist that Atlas DARPA keeps on for their projects that are either questionably military or questionably ethical and tells him to cram as much crap in as he possibly can. Whitley comes out as a cross between Raiden from Metal Gear and Adam Smasher from Cyberpunk - at least in his Ice Dragon frame ("Yeah, real creative there, Count"). His non-fieldwork frame is a bit more 9S-sized. And I kind of based all of his weapons off of Adam's kit. Concealed guns in the arms, shoulder mounted missile battery, and Hagelsturm - A 4-gauge gatling autoshotgun with a modular side-mount that can take a dust cannon, AGL, or rocket launcher. And of course the whole thing mechashifts; becoming a rocket-hammer with a three-cone drill on the head in place of the solid mass like what the Crushers have in MGR:R - Yeah it is literally most of Adam's weapons put together. He can still one-hand it in his bishounen frame, it is just that said frame is only 5'3" (160cm) and the gun is 4'9" (145cm) - and that's gun form, hammer form is closer to eight feet in length. His sidearm, the thing he's more likely to carry in... well I shouldn't say that, both of his frames make Ruby lick her lips and think devious thoughts... is an HF version of the functional, real-life conversion of Fire-Emblem's Armorslayer. And of course, it mechashifts into an anti-tank revolver that fires something between 14.5x114 and 23x152mmB. Haven't decided a name for it yet. Other weapons on the Ice Dragon include superheated throwing knife holsters and maybe a chainsaw mount like Blade Wolf and a Stroheim abdominal machine gun.

Ruby, of course, finds Whitley's human frame cute and his eight foot+ tall killing machine frame with all of the hardpoints handsome. And of course, because Talon's Iron Man idea got me thinking, the Ice Dragon has thruster units in the arches of its feet (they're those high-heel/toe-claw feet Raiden has in MGR, Ruby very much approves). Nothing in the hands, but he can recoil launch himself by unhinging them and firing, maybe some shoulder thrusters like SPARTANs in Halo 5 too. He does a brief stint of field work with Clover & co. And in the run-up to the Vytal festival, Ruby unlocks his Aura. His personality is not exactly like in canon. His sense of self-assured superiority and entitlement was vaporized by the 4.5 kg OKFOL warheads. And I can see him using affected personas in training exorcises or actual combat. I picture his first meeting with Winter (a training exorcise for her and a test for him shortly after his conversion to see how a Specialist-Colonel squares up with Atlas' most advanced cyborg, it is also how Winter finds out about the attack) with a visor like Raiden's shunked over his face and giving her the LQ-84i bit. At the same time I can see him fighting the White Fang, and when they break and start to run he yells "None leave the slaughterhouse. Not alive." Whereas, off the clock he comes off as a bit more... whimsical... perhaps like not so much as a stuffier version Iron Man 1 Tony Stark (pre-borg/non-borg timelines), but a more juvenile Tony.

Of course, Whitley's prowess in company management grows exponentially, thanks to all of his additional processing power and his ability to interface directly with the SDC's electronic systems and databases.

Jacques feels the pressure as even his youngest, the one most emotionally dependent on him, slips through his fingers. Because it seems that, no matter what he does, the boy just marches ever closer to ousting him from the SDC (how much of this is in his own head I leave to your imagination). Now, where did he put Watts' scroll number?

Another prompt idea I had thanks to me being myself on the NSFW:

Either somebody cocks up with a really powerful Semblance or Ozpin and Glynda try to match Qrow drinking, and now everybody's weapons have become people. Crescent Rose is the only one thus far whose personality I've settled on, and complimenting his size, he's basically Jason Voorhees. Huge, implacable, muter than Neo, and stab-a-guy-in-the-spine-so-hard-he-closes-on-your-arm-like-a-beartrap strong, the sniper scythe has decided that the criminals of Vale look a bit too much like camp councilors for his liking. And one bit is that Ruby takes on the Pamela roll a bit too well.

Moving on.

- Neo and Cinder being part of the Fall should never have left the Spiders alive!

Click to shrink...

The only explanation that I can think of is that none of the Spiders actually knew specifically who Cinder was or what she looked like. Like they must have known somebody had commandeered Roman, but not who exactly that person was. Now that begs the question why wouldn't Neo try to signal to them that Cinder is solely responsible for tanking their Vale operation before attacking her, so she could try attacking Cinder with dozens and dozens of gangsters worth of fire support (in Cinder's weakened state I believe they'd pull her down eventually).

Honestly, Torchwick would have been trying to get out of working for Cinder constantly. He's a gentleman thief, he can't be a crime lord and boss over GRIMM, now can he? I just hate how they took his character, making him into the Joker when he was far more interesting as a long suffering debonaire criminal mastermind forced to work for terrorists.

Click to shrink...

I know there are some fanfics that have tread the path of Roman betraying Cinder, but I don't think I've found a one where exactly when he fucked her over sits well with me. A good betrayal, I think to maximize efficacy, and minimize Cinder's ability to retaliate should she live would have to take place right before the Breach. Best idea I have is that he somehow signals Ozpin or Ironwood to something unspecific by leaving a note in the wrecked paladin (they'll probably see it first) then have an "accident" handling the Dust in the tunnels and making it look like he died with the countless White Fang grunts he left buried in Mountain Glenn. Then scooping up Neo hopping the next flight to either Mantle or Argus (Vacuo would probably be where Cinder would expect him to run, if ever he had to run, and he's too well-known in Mistral).

Of course there would be the problem of re-establishing himself. And I honestly haven't thought that far ahead, so I open the floor to anyone with suggestions.

This sounds like a whole lot of fun. A lot of people have made their own weapons so I could see a very close familial Bond with the incarnated weapons. I just have an image of Crescent Rose as you said being this absolute Hulk of a man who is fully capable of Ultra violence is a absolute Mama's boy. Crocea Mors could also be another fun character. They've been through a lot, they've seen Wars and shaped history and here's their beloved stupid little boy who wants to be a hero. Well, if that's what they want, that's what he's going to get.

So I don't know if anyone has ever watched this anime (C control) but I feel like it could be a interesting semblance for Roman.

Basically you can end up in fights with people and if you win you take....pretty much everything from them. Like yes you take their money but you also retroactively change their fate and destiny along with your own.

Win a fight against a CEO? His company never got off the ground. Meanwhile you might find out you had a distant wealthy relative you didn't know recently pass away and left you a inheritance exactly equal to that CEOs net worth.

Never heard of the anime, but this opens the door to a broader question. To what degree can Semblances effect fate? Like how powerful can they get. For the sake of my own writings I personally hard-cap the limits of all Semblances within the realms of the possible. No Semblance can achieve the ends of - for want of a better term - True Magic. So no creation ex nihilo, no separate worldlines, anything effecting the soul must come from a soul already in being and so on. Count's meditations on the nature of the souls on Remnant have led to some pretty dark assumptions about the nature of the soul, and the nature of Dust, on Remnant.

But where was I? Oh yes, Semblances, though of the soul, are not what the people of Remnant would call supernatural. Raven can open quantum tunnels or wormholes from one point in spacetime to another so long as the endpoint is anchored by an individual that she feels a deep bond with. She does not - in a sense - violate the rules of space and time, she manipulates and uses them. The same can be said of even Qrow and Clover. Their Semblances (I am guessing) manipulate the Wave Functions (the basal equations that dictate the movements of each particle in reality) to solve for worse, or better, respectively. Even their Semblances do not break the rules of reality. I am assuming magic, being just that, magic, can.

My favorite excuse for instance as to why Salem hasn't fucked up the rest of Remnant yet is because she's been sitting in her castle in Evernight watching telenovelas, eating ice cream by the gallon, and crying over just how bad her last break-up/divorce was. Of course, Evernight doesn't get any CCT reception so Salem has to magically conjure up her own TV, magically hook it up to the CCTnet with the force of her will (she doesn't have to, she can watch IRL K-dramas on that TV if she wants to and in timelines where I'm feeling particularly goofy, she has). The ice cream she also creates ex nihilo, being as like the unmoved first mover, (and of course since it is Count's idea, the mascot on the ice cream tubs is a RWBY Chibi Salem wearing a dress colored corresponding to the flavor).

This thought kind of popped into my head because I was watching on Youtube an episode of The True Thoughts of RWBY Characters. Oscar takes on look at Salem at the end of V7, it pauses, the screen goes grey, it zooms in on her cleavage cutout and Ozpin says "That's the 'Fuck you for leaving me' dress. She might really mean it about wiping out humanity for good this time."

That aside, Count had more ideas for 'Everybody's weapons become people' (Name still pending) Myrtenaster (who is bald and extremely self-conscious about his diminutive height) would otherwise essentially be a copy/paste of a Red vs Blue character's personality (whichever one would be most embarrassing to Weiss, I'm not sure). Gambol Shroud would be either an outrageously chuuni obnoxious BL shipper, or a morbidly obese ugly bastard with the worst gooning problem on Remnant. In either case, Gambol Shroud is a weapon that only a Woman of Culture can wield. Everybody else needs a shower after just being in the same room. Still no dice on Ember Cecilia.

Amiable to the idea. The rest of Team JNPR ideas aren't character ideas so much as they are one-off jokes. But here I go.

Milo and Akouo as being a pair of neurotic nervous-wreck kids who act like they've just lost their mom in the grocery store. Nora still uses Magnhild as a hammer. And I think that Storm and Flower are both lying to themselves about their chamber/caliber sizes.

 

[AndrewJTalon]

Sienna Khan was a bit tense as she waited in the Menagerian Embassy in Atlas. For James-General Ironwood to go to such lengths to summon her personally... It was unheard of. Her spies hadn't given her any indication as to what could have brought it about, though the Atlasian Council was potentially going to try to lift some sanctions on them in the coming session.

The door to the private conference room opened. James marched in, slamming the door behind him. Sienna stood up out of habit.

Sienna: "James, what's going on-?"

James glared. He slammed some photos down on the table. Sienna looked at them... And sucked in a very deep breath.

They were pictures of a young man with dark skin... And familiar blue eyes.

James: "... How could you hide him from me?"

Sienna let out her breath in a resigned sigh. She shook her head.

Sienna: "I... I didn't know I was pregnant until I was with the White Fang. By then... I couldn't just tell you-"

James: "You should have! He's my son-!"

Sienna: "I WANTED TO! Don't you think I wanted to?! But what was I supposed to say? That I had the child of James Ironwood?! Do you think that I could have kept him safe if the rest of the White Fang knew the truth?!"

James: "I could have protected him-I SHOULD have protected him-I should have known-!"

Sienna: "And if you had, what then?! You couldn't leave your post any more than I could have! This scandal would destroy us both!"

They glared at one another angrily, breathing hard. James grit his teeth.

James: "... He's my son."

Sienna: "And he's also mine. And I did what I could to keep him safe. I am sorry, James... But what was I supposed to do?"

James: "Tell me! At least let me know!"

Sienna: "I couldn't risk it, James!"

James: "Is that the truth? Or did you just want to hide him to use him as a weapon against me? Against Atlas?"

Sienna: "If I'd wanted to, I would have done it already, James!"

James: "I don't know that!"

Sienna: "You do! You do..."

Sienna fought tears. She had tried so hard to stay calm and collected... But against James? She couldn't be.

Sienna: "He... He doesn't even know I'm his mother. I left him with people I could trust."

James: clenched fists "Sienna..."

Sienna: "... We could never be together, James. We know that... But I did what I could so that our son would be safe. What else... What else could I do? But to keep him out of our war?"

She sobbed. James was silent, still... Before he pulled her into a hug. She collapsed into his embrace, crying softly.

What else could either of them do?

Remnant has ways of telling faunus from normal humans even if they don't have visible traits from the animal.

So during the yearly physical exam everyone is shocked when Cardin pings as faunus.

So turns out his dad wasn't just being racist and dumb and drunk when he said they were "more human than any other humans!"

Because cardin is a human faunus.

That's right. His faunus traits come from homosapiens.
