Basically. Normally her good nature only works on animals (Possibly why she has a Faunus boyfriend, kukuku), but in her Grimm Hybrid state she can command Grimm, too.

Look to be fair to my girl vasha she's had a damn bad for the colonel for ever and hey this way there might be a chance to get her pregnant by said colonel. So she's not going to pass that up ever and if she has to get Mr shovel to deal with a couple people so all they notice about the colonel is a new hairstyle some sacrifices for the greater good must be made

 

[mgl1206]

Oooh I have a headcanon for why aura exists, humanity returned, and Faunus appeared, what if when humanity was remade by the Brother of Light he couldn't remake them fully as they were born of both light and darkness.

So, knowing that his brother wouldn't help, BoL used some of the remaining essence of destruction (Grimm pools) that the BoD left behind to remake humanity. But because this was at best a stop gap measure it was never enough to rebuild humanity to their full potential and left a crack in their soul that would later become their aura.

During this process he'd also experiment on making different versions of humanity to see if he could fix the crack in their soul but seeing that it was impossible without his brothers powers the BoL gave up and let his experiments roam free.

And now with a reborn mankind, he'd resurrect Ozpin to reunite humanity. But the BoD furious at his brothers actions makes so that his creations would perpetually hunt down this new humanity to reclaim the darkness his brother stole.

And then BoL could have made the Silver Eyes in response as well.

 

[Bommel]

Personally I do hope the lore bit of Nick being Ozpin's and Salem's son doesn't stick around after Halloween.
It makes the world feel too small and make anything and everything connect back to those two, even such incredibly minor things, rather than just people living their lives and being able to become strong without some uber-magic and/or gods infuenced lineage.

I'd always liked it when Nick's lineage was either unknown and likely completely normal, but he still turned out into an monster of a fighter, shounen series hero and was possibly a protagonist of a harem series.
Because great things don't need to come from those exclusive and special places, they can come from anywhere and from the normal places (it's kinda like why hobbits and halflings from D&D are so much fun).

[SharkCultist]

Sorta a big AU idea.

After killing her daughters Salem was horrified by herself and what she was becoming.

She couldn't stop the taint of a. God, so she made herself harmless.

She becomes the wanderer. A obviously insane woman who's hair and skin are dyed and colored a chaotic rainbow of colors.

She travels around with a few cats black as night with red eyes and white bone collars.

She's mostly harmless, she does magic shows (really good ones it's almost like she can do some real magic) and tells stories. When she can keep her attention focused long enough.

She never stays in one place, always moving. She can't remember why but she knows if she's found it'll be bad.

Meanwhile OZ is looking for her to finish his mission (he hasn't had centuries of losing friends fighting her or betraying him so he's still pretty devoted to his cause).

And others have heard of the immortal woman and want her secrets. It is a very bad idea to let that happen.

"You were so scared of being a monster that you'd rather break yourself into a million pieces. Well we're here to put you back together. We don't want the woman we want the witch!"

(Her Grimm cats with her are sorta seals. One contains the bulk of her magic. The other holds the majority of her knowledge and cunning.)

Idea:

- The idea that Glynda, a very successful careerwoman, Huntress, incredibly well put together, is still considered incredibly beautiful, and still relativly young for someone so successful, would have never dated or have had feelings for anyona and is still pining for Jaune's father Nick from back of her student days is pretty rediculous.
She seems like someone who would have moved on with her life.
So she would have dated, had other relationships, and maybe even have been married for a while. What kind of people would she have been with?
Thinks might not have worked out, sure, but that's also an opportunity to give her character more depth.

- Related to the idea above, but what if Glynda kinda recognises what's going on and is wrong with Blake mentally, because she has had a similar experiance?
Glynda sees that Blake has been dealing with the trauma of the aftermath of a very abusive relationship (Adam), because she herself has been through a relationship of a boyfriend/husband who was also incredibly abusive and was constantly manipulating and gaslighting her.
Glynda knows what it's like, because while she was physically capable of defending herself and absolutely destroying him, his manipulations and gaslighting means that he made her think that it really was all her fault and deserved it (she did retaliate when she was able to mentally get over that, but that took time and effort).
So Glynda pushes Blake towards therapy to deal with it and heal all of the mental scars she's gotten from it (like her constantly running away from everything), perhaps Glynda is even the one who gives her the therapy herself.

Who exactly is this? Did he somehow remove himself for existence trying to undo what had happened?

-Another possible twist with Raven? She is deep undercover so she would get recruited by Salem and be Ozpin's agent right in Salem's court.

Tai doesn't know, since Raven was never supposed to be a maiden, maybe Raven nudged Qrow to be able to save Yang and Ruby when Yang went looking for Raven, and maybe she would have saved them if Qrow hadn't been able to? Her "you get one" thing was to justify her going in and saving Yang without breaking cover. I'm not sure that this is my favorite way of explaining Raven, but it works and could be done pretty well.

"Here," Cardin grunted again, "I got these stupid flowers and chocolates from... From my sister, and I don't know what to do with them. So... Here. You have them. They're your favorites... Right?"

Now she understood what was going on, and her other rabbit instincts came forward.

R.I.P. Cardin Wincester, age 18
He died of a disintegrated pelvis.

"Wait, so when you were bullying Jaune-?"

"That was different!" Cardin growled, his face an even brighter red, "He's a weakling loser who needed to know his place! You I uh... Um..."

Click to shrink...

Ah, but was it? Seriously though, I kinda want to see something where Cardin was trying to bully Jaune out of Beacon because he thought Jaune was just going to die in the field, and the reason he immediately backed down after Forever Fall is because he realized he was wrong, and that Jaune was capable of being a proper hunter.

Jaune Arc has always felt out of step with the world.

It's something he's tried to ignore, even get therapy for but nothing seems to work, despite all the progress Goodwitch says he's making.

She's lying to us.

He still sometimes sees the shadows flicker with hints of white and baleful red on his lowest days, and sometimes at his most peaceful he'll see a weak glow of white or gold without a clear source.

Trust your instincts. You know the truth.

But regardless of his issues he's on his way to college. Beacon academy the best college in Vale.

There's still people to save.

He's got his stuff together, got his Nikos sneakers and his Valkyrie headphones packed up and ready to go.

Your friends need you.

He's on his way to living the dream (a bathroom without seven sisters!)...so why does it feel so wrong?

You need to break free Jaune.

Click to shrink...

Ooh! I really like this idea, and how everyone he loves has a presence there, even if in subtle ways.

Yeah they totally have sex. A LOT of it. But I can't say that on Spacebattles, just heavily imply it.

Click to shrink...

Isn't this why you have the NSFW thread? Will there be anything from this series posted there ever, or will it stay SFW?

Good writers would have leaned into this: Into the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams and how Ruby and Jaune were learning and growing. Just accept that we have two protagonists in Ruby and Jaune and focus on that dynamic. Ruby is the eager young prodigy with great skill but who lacks real world experience, Jaune is the goof who just unlocked his Aura but has enormous potential, learns fast and has practical real world experience. These contrasts are fantastic for dramatic purposes and great character work. We needed Ruby to have some failures, just as Jaune did. We needed her to be overconfident. We needed her to be cocky and way too eager more. We needed her and Jaune talking more about their issues. Ruby's friction and frustration with her team should have been an ongoing issue, not something thrown in at Volume 9. Because that's organic drama and that makes things interesting!

Click to shrink...

I think one of the things they should have focused on is that all of RWBY are prodigies, and aren't used to taking orders, and they're used to being the best around, which makes their teamwork suffer. JNPR, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. Pyrrha is absolutely a prodigy, but she's not used to leading, and in fact actively wants to avoid the spotlight, so she's not a challenge to Jaune's leader. Ren and Nora… it doesn't matter if they're prodigies or just have way more real-world experience than the others, because they haven't been compared to others like RWBY+P have been, and so don't have the same arrogance. And finally, Jaune is absolutely a prodigy, but he's years behind the others, which means he's not on the same level as any of the others yet. All of this combines to make JNPR weaker than RWBY in individual performance, but much more effective at working together.

They also should have played into the idea that while Ruby calls all these combo attacks, Jaune doesn't, because he doesn't typically need to. He sets goals and tactics, and his team knows how to work together to achieve them. Maybe RWBY's combos could be a response to JNPR absolutely destroying them with superior teamwork?

So another idea I'd like for RWBY.

I'd like it if every academy treated aura different. Not just different techniques but entire different mindsets based off of the people and their cultures.

Like Atlas, the cold and scientific kingdom seeing aura as just another resource that's part of you, like muscles or brains. And having techniques that are cookie cutter. Simple, efficient, easy to learn, boring and rigid.

Mistral I guess would have the closest view to canon. The light of your soul and your inner strength made manifest. (I'm going with that since Pyrrha is Mistral and that's similar to the explanation she gave Jaune). Highly specialized and individualistic great diversity of techniques. Actual effectiveness varies HIGHLY. Many jealously guard techniques so they end up lost usually.

I could see vale ending up as sorta a middle ground of all of the ideals there could be, melting pot so everything ends up mixing and refining. It leads to better huntsmen but overall they have less of their own cultural identity or signature aura techniques.

I see menagerie ending up the most spiritual kingdom. Less analytical that Atlas on it's views of aura, more philosophy based. You have a shadow based semblance? What does that say about you as a person? They have the most introspective huntsmen making them the most stable (on average) but they also have the lowest amount since they don't have a official academy and they haven't been out to ground as long as the other kingdoms so their culture is still relatively fresh and new.

Thoughts?

Click to shrink...

I'd say that Menagerie would have the highest rate of semblance discovery and development on average, most notably in semblance evolutions, with Mistral tending to have, again, wild variance, with Atlas delving the least into them. Maybe the Schnee family semblance reflects those Atlesian ideals, and Atlas has other, less famous, hereditary semblances?

CRWBY said that Jaune's Semblance essentially made him key to victory. With him, RWBY could defeat Salem... So they just had him NOT USE IT.

It's not like it would have made him the primary protagonist. Just one of many, like how it seemed to be at the start-An ensemble show. He's the WHITE MAGE, and he facilitates everyone else being able to beat the Big Bad. He's a bit like Zelda, or Aerith, or Yuna-The point is, he's a key part of the party but he's NOT the most important one. He's key, but not a Gary Stu.

There are multiple ways to make this Semblance work without breaking the universe. It takes time to master it, there are side effects to your Semblance and/or Aura being boosted that have to be trained and overcome, Jaune is casting from HP and it takes a toll on him: But simply not using it is emblematic of the laziness and ridiculousness of RWBY's writing in the later Volumes.

So, let's think of ways to use it properly to rewrite Volumes 7-9 to make sense. Like we aren't hacks.

Click to shrink...

I'd make it less individually potent, but wider range, so he can affect many targets at once across a greater distance, but can't just refill his own aura (or the rate at which it fills is reduced by each active buff.)

Basically just lean into the white mage and tank role, while Ruby is the offensive specialist and the MacGuffin of victory with her Silver Eyes. Make him a deuteragonist and lancer for Ruby, use him to further her growth, make him the rock of the team while she's the driving force, all things RT has laid the groundwork for… and just never used.

Salem: I'm thinking the Salem Witch Trials

Click to shrink...

Definitely, but there's another thing I find interesting: Salem rather ironically means "peace", and Salem's ultimate goal is death, which is something I doubt RT planned, but is neat.

Velvet: Velveteen Bunny

Coco: Coco Chanel, wasn't a fashion name during 1930-40's Germany.

Click to shrink...

Huh. I thought there was a desert theming, with Velvet being red velvet and Coco being chocolate. I do not remember at all who their teammates are.

Take two female characters in that medium- they must have names and significant role in the story- and see if they have a conversation about any topic on screen and see if there exists a single cinversation where they don't discuss anything about a male character then they pass the test.

Click to shrink...

To put how inaccurate this is, I'm pretty sure Mulan fails the test. Once she goes into the army, I do not recall a single significant female character (because women aren't allowed in the army) and her conversations with her family are largely to set up the conflict between the traditional housewife life they think she should have and her own dreams. Or her father's injury and the war.

-Jaune runs into a disguises Weiss before the start of Beacon in Vale, and makes a much better first impression on her.

Click to shrink...

Her reaction to Jaune's "short, sweet, and the ladies love it" is to bury her head in her hands and groan, because it reminds her that Jaune can be incredibly smooth, but only when he's not actually trying to be. She will also recognize his terrible attempts at wooing her for what they are, and likely set him straight.

After she fell on the Grimm pool, Salem's spirit left her mortal body.

Instead her mortal body became a host of many horrible types of Grimm but due to the curse of God Of Darkness, her body never erodes, maintaining full bodily functions but now a myriad of Ancient and potent Grimm piloting her body while her Soul wanders the EverAfter/Underworld, as she never really got closure.

She comes across a wounded warrior with fragile soul and a broken blade.

Perhaps this time, she can do something right.

After all, what is a Knight without a Maiden to give his oaths of chivalry to.

Click to shrink...

I love this idea! Does Ozma know? I imagine that Salem might watch over him, and maybe each time he reincarnates she offers him the choice to stop fighting, but he refuses to let go until she can come with, or maybe she could move on, but refuses until Ozma is free, since she blames herself for his state. Maybe she watches over his shoulder when she can, and maybe the reason the Silver Eyes are so important is because they can strike through Salem's immortal body to the Grimm inside. There is so much you can do with this idea, and it expands the whole Salem/Ozma conflict in interesting ways. Ozma began fighting Salem when the Grimm finally couldn't keep up the facade anymore. Maybe the Grimm were so interested in their daughters because they had aspects of Grimm to them, and they wanted to use that, which inadvertently revealed the truth to Ozma.

Think of it as a automated timeline correction system. Anyone who messes with time travel it erases their memories, corrects the timeline and pulls out the bit of them that led to them discovering a path to time travel.

But it can't just throw away those pieces so it integrates them into itself. Which has given it a identity of sorts but it's not actually a person.

That's also the reason Ruby got so many chances. The echoes all hoping that this time it works. But eventually it had to do its job.

 

[Ash Craig]

So, the Schnee family semblance is weird. Semblances are supposed to be a unique representation of the user's soul, so a hereditary semblance is kinda odd. My favorite explanation is that it has a tie to the concept of "legacy," and that's how the semblance gets "passed down". However, that got me thinking: Winter and Weiss grew up in stories of their grandfather, but what if Whitley didn't? Then the only Schnees he sees would be his mother, a woman who drinks her awareness away, his father, who is a manipulator that explicitly cares about his wife and children only as a means to more power, and his sisters, who as far as he's concerned want nothing to do with him. So, if Whitley has no legacy he wants to carry when he awakens his aura, what semblance does he get? You could do a crossover/expy, something entirely new, or you could make something based on the old hereditary semblance. Maybe instead of creating glyphs that produce any effect imaginable, he imbues materials with unique properties. This could make an interesting comparison with Ruby as well, where she uses engineering to make mundane materials do exceptional things, while he makes mundane materials have exceptional properties. You could make this reflect a desire to create something, to make the things around him into something more, or you could make it reflect a belief that the only things he can rely on are the things he makes himself. Alternatively, you could mirror the summoning aspect, and let him channel the skills, power, and maybe even the semblances of those who meet certain conditions. Maybe they have to be loyal to him, maybe they have to live him in some way, maybe their needs to be a strong bond of trust, or whatever else you want. This sets up parallels with Jaune, where Jaune empowers his team while Whitley is made more by them. This could reflect a perceived duty to represent those loyal to him, a belief that a leader should be capable in all ways, or a desire to be like the people he admires. On the darker side, it could reflect a fear that he needs to be the best, a lack of faith in himself, believing that someone else would do better in his place, or a fear that he will be left all alone, depending on how you do the details. In terms of strength, I think his semblance should be a step down from the traditional Schnee family semblance, as it doesn't have the same "weight" of legacy or the generations of people exploring every last aspect of it. What other directions could you take this, how might you use this to drive character development and the greater plot, and more specifically, how does this affect Whitley and his relationships with his family?

On another note, there are a lot of potential parallels between Yang and Winter: both had a mother that abandoned them (Willow to alcohol, Raven to her tribe, and Summer to death), a father who was absent (Taiyang because of his grief, Jacques because of greed and apathy to his family), and both likely ended up in a parental role to their siblings. However, while Yang stayed by Ruby's side, Winter left for the military the first chance she got, and as far as I can tell, never contacted her siblings after that, and Yang would absolutely tear Winter a new one for that. She probably wouldn't be too happy with Weiss, but she might not be as ruthless.

I wanna give him something that both reflects his heritage and shows how toxic things in his life are.

So. He has no control over his life, he can't keep his family together, and for a bit his sisters saw him as a manipulator.

So let's give him a manipulation semblance. Glyphs placed down by touch that can manipulate things. Like reshaping the floor or making a shield float around him.

But their true messed up potential is when they're applied to people.

 

[LordofBones]

Blake is in a horrible bind when she comes to Beacon, thanks to her team. Not only is she a hidden faunus, but her team leader reveals red-black wolf ears under her hood and the Schnee has the long flowing tail of an arctic fox. Making matters worse, their sister team's star member is a red fox faunus with both the ears and the tail of a vixen!

Surely she can bear it. Just a little.

That is, until she accidently blurts out that Ruby's not so bad for a Fido in earshot of both her team and JNPR...

Blake: "I'm not racist! I don't care that Weiss and Pyrrha are Reynards or that Ruby's a Fido!"
Nora: *is actually stunned speechless*
Cardin: "Holy shit."

Making matters worse, their sister team's star member is a red fox faunus with both the ears and the tail of a vixen!

Surely she can bear it. Just a little.

That is, until she accidently blurts out that Ruby's not so bad for a Fido in earshot of both her team and JNPR...

Yang is also a faunus, and she has a dragon's firebreath.

Think of it as a automated timeline correction system. Anyone who messes with time travel it erases their memories, corrects the timeline and pulls out the bit of them that led to them discovering a path to time travel.

But it can't just throw away those pieces so it integrates them into itself. Which has given it a identity of sorts but it's not actually a person.

That's also the reason Ruby got so many chances. The echoes all hoping that this time it works. But eventually it had to do its job.

Interesting. Especially since

I agree with Yang being explosive and then I think she'd turn into a bit of a sad drunk. I also think that ruby would be kinda unaffected by booze

Blake gets super apologetic when drunk and Weiss gets cuddly.

Ruby seems unaffected but in actuality the booze removes her filter.

Everyone's drunk self would be fun to see.
Head canon - Jaune has SEVEN sisters. He knows how to handle drunk women.



Yang sobbing in Jaune's shirt "Don't abandon me" continues to sob hysterically.

Jaune - "I left for two minutes to use the bathroom"

Yang is a sad, but relatively functional drunk, Blake shows a shocking amount of self-loathing, Weiss is cuddly but also her own fear of being abandoned again come out (don't tell me this girl wouldn't have abandonment issues, even if not as bad as Yang), and Ruby acts similarly to normal,but without any filter, and has a shocking degree of nihilism to her (we're all going to die in the end, and probably not of old age, so let's have fun while it lasts type of attitude). Jaune begins to see how messed up all of them are, and is extremely concerned. Jaune himself can handle his alcohol with the best, and only gets slightly melancholic (post-fall) or nostalgic (Beacon).

Incidentally, I don't see Weiss getting anywhere near alcohol without something extreme, because of her mother, so this would either be after the Fall, a spiked punch situation, or after some other rough event.

(WHY JAUNE KILLING PENNY?! WHY IS TRAUMA THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO TO HIM?! JESUS!)

They didn't even really give a good reason for Jaune to not heal her. If she'd been torn in half or something, Penny could have told him that it would take to long, if he could do it at all, and that by the time he'd have even been able to stabilize her, Cinder would probably have beaten and killed Weiss at that point.

…I mean, this definitely doesn't help the "stop traumatizing Jaune" issue, it actually hurts it, since Jaune not only killed Penny, but completely failed to stop Cinder, but it does give a reason to not heal Penny beyond "he forgot".

You're absolutely right, Jaune would swing for all three. Although he just might beat Yang to the punch (geditt)

Continuing the saga of Racist Blake, just how bad are the slurs that she is using? Like, are they schoolyard insults in the vein of calling someone gay? Are they outdated terminology like the word Negro? (Not exactly slurs, but not something to just say like that). Are they serious enough to start throwing hands over? Killing insults? I know these are weird questions to ask, but I unlocked a world building itch that I need to scratch.
