Taiyang shouldn't be some loser who does nothing. We don't even know what his Semblance or Weapon is. That's just ridiculous. He's crucial to the backstory of the fucking plot involving Summer! Which is integral to the entire fucking story! So I gave him some awesome.
It's bothered me a ton as well. Taiyang is supposed to be a member of one of the most renowned teams Beacon has ever produced, and yet, he's the only one who lacks a weapon, a Semblance, and the only parent character that lacks an allusion. In fact, it bothered me so much, I went insane and made my own allusion, weapon, and Semblance concept for.

Hou Yi (后羿) is the legendary Chinese mythological "Lord Archer" who saved humanity by shooting down nine of ten scorching suns with his bow and dragon-tendon arrows. As a divine hero sent from heaven, he left one sun to provide heat and light, becoming a legendary figure often associated with his wife, the moon goddess Chang'e.

It always bothered me that Team STRQ was missing a proper long-range member. Taiyang fulfilling that role would not only explain why we don't see his weapon, but also why he prefers martial art for close combat and why he retired in Patch, so that he could still hunt with his bow.

The Myth: When ten suns appeared in the sky simultaneously, scorching the earth, crops withered and people died. Hou Yi, possessing immense strength, was ordered by the emperor to stop this destruction.

Taiyang's Semblance would be "Ten Suns", which manifests as literal Solar Power Aura Arrows that explode after they are shot from his bow. Elemental and Construct type Semblances are a thing, so this wouldn't be out of universe of the setting.

The Act: Hou Yi shot down nine suns, which were actually three-legged crows residing in the trees of the East.

The Crows would allude to his relationship with both Qrow and Raven, as well as implying some feats of Taiyang being capable of shooting down Nevermores with his bow.

Legacy: Hou Yi is also renowned for slaying numerous beasts that plagued mankind. Later in the myth, he obtained the elixir of immortality, which his wife, Chang'e, drank to flee to the moon.

This would not only allude that Taiyang knows about Salem, but also of Taiyang's own tragic love life with Raven and Summer. Remnant's shattered moon is the cherry on top.

Depiction: He is sometimes portrayed as a divine being or a tragic hero who eventually loses his immortality.

This last bit would allude that Taiyang is still a well-known and respected Huntsman, while also implying that his early retirement was a tragedy.

And my final point, Hou Yi being Taiyang's allusion would explain why both him and Yang have Chinese names, despite Yang alluding to Goldilocks, a German figure. Much better explanation than both Tai and Yang being references to Bruce Lee.
 
Taiyang's Semblance would be "Ten Suns", which manifests as literal Solar Power Aura Arrows that explode after they are shot from his bow. Elemental and Construct type Semblances are a thing, so this wouldn't be out of universe of the setting.

Isn't he a brutalist? That's why Yang is one? He taught her?

Then as the two reconnect and she tells she is expecting. To her shock the connection to yang comes back.
 
Isn't he a brutalist? That's why Yang is one? He taught her?
He taught her hand-to-hand combat, but there's nothing that says that that was his preferred style or if it was his only style. That's why my idea have him using a bow, it's exclusively for long-range combat, like a mechanical heavy artillery bow meant to take down large prey. But when he's in close combat, he switches to using "THESE HANDS!"
 
For an idea that may be interesting, what if Jaune had to build a city? In the vein of the Anno games. It would certainly be an interesting thing to think about. Especially since islands may be better able to defend themselves against the average Grim.
 
The Arc Clan: "Uncle" Discord (Final) New
The Beacon cafeteria was supposed to be a safe zone. Food fights, yes. Nora stealing everyone's pancakes, absolutely. But full-scale romantic territorial warfare? That was new even for them.

Weiss Schnee sat ramrod straight, fork stabbing her salad like it had personally offended her lineage. "Honestly, why can't your families just leave you alone? Like mine! We—we have proper decorum! No random cousins popping out of the woodwork, no fox goddesses kidnapping proxies, no—"

Ruby, perched quite comfortably on Jaune's lap (because the benches were "too hard" and his thighs were apparently memory foam), tilted her head. "Weiss… are you all right? Do you need a hug?"

"NO!" Weiss snapped, cheeks pink. "I do not need a hug! And stop sitting on Jaune's lap!"

"But it's comfy!" Ruby chirped, wriggling for emphasis.

Jaune made a strangled noise. "Ummm…"

Yang leaned over, blonde mane cascading like a golden waterfall of smug. "He's my fiancé, Ruby!"

"Good sisters share!" Ruby sing-songed.

Blake's ears flattened dangerously. "He's my fiancé! Get your own blond disaster!"

"No!" Yang shot back.

Pyrrha, ever polite, still managed to radiate quiet menace. "He's my partner."

Ren, the only island of calm in this estrogen tsunami, sipped his tea. "Jaune, you need to make a command decision to resolve things."

Jaune looked like a man staring down a Death Stalker with a pool noodle. "I—I can only order Pyrrha around!"

Nora slammed her fists on the table, syrup flying. "Ruby! Accept a demotion so Jaune can order you to do stuff!"

Ruby's silver eyes lit up. "That might be fun!"

And then—

"AH! Such delicious, wonderful chaos!"

A flash of pure white light exploded in the middle of the cafeteria. Trays rattled. Milk cartons toppled. Students yelped and ducked.

When the spots cleared, a lanky man in a patchwork suit hovered three feet off the ground. Mismatched wings—one feathered, one bat—flapped lazily. A goatee curled with malevolent glee, and his eyes sparkled with the kind of mischief that could derail planets.

Jaune shot to his feet so fast Ruby nearly face-planted into mashed potatoes. He glared pure Arc fury. "Uncle Discord! You promised you wouldn't pop in at school!"

Discord clasped his hands to his chest, mock-wounded. "But it's a surprise! And this chaos—how could I resist? Oh, hey Nora!"

Nora waved enthusiastically, syrup still dripping from her fingers. "Hey Discord!"

Yang's jaw dropped. "Wait—you two know each other?!"

Nora and Discord answered in perfect unison: "No, we've never met in our lives! But it's more fun to pretend!" They dissolved into identical giggles. "JINX!"

Jaune pinched the bridge of his nose hard enough to leave marks. "Look, we're really not in the mood—"

"MOOD?!" Discord floated upside-down, suit defying gravity. "Mood is for music and foreplay! Things you clearly need help with! How about a mind-bending game of wits—"

"No."

"An epic adventure across dimensions—"

"NO."

"A quick jaunt as Robin Hood and his merry band—"

"NO!"

Nora bounced in her seat. "But Jaaaaune! It would be so much fun!"

Jaune threw his hands up. "It'll have some stupid twist at the end, or he'll change the rules halfway through, or Aunt Fluttershy will make him knock that shit off! No!"

Discord pouted, actually pouted, lower lip trembling theatrically. "Awww… you're no fun anymore."

Jaune narrowed his eyes. "Did Aunt Fluttershy kick you out of the house again?"

"What?! HA! Please! We adore each other! We couldn't stand to be apart—"

"So that's a yes. Go bother Picard."

Discord shuddered. "But he's so boring now! All wine and Shakespeare and cheese—"

"Janeway."

"Bah! She's worse!"

"The Cerritos crew?"

Discord's eyes lit up like twin supernovas. "Hmmmm… lower-decks chaos? Now that could be delicious." He snapped his talons. "Toodles!"

Poof. Gone.

The cafeteria fell silent.

Weiss's fork clattered to her plate. "…Who… what…?!"

Jaune slumped back into his seat, Ruby automatically reclaiming her lap-perch. "He's my aunt's husband. He's… a bit much."

Nora grinned maniacally. "He's lots of fun!"

"I'm not in the mood," Jaune muttered.

Weiss looked like her entire worldview had been tilted ninety degrees. "But… I… you…!"

Pyrrha, curiosity overriding Nikos composure, leaned forward. "I… will admit I'm curious, Jaune."

Yang propped her chin on her fist. "Same! Spill, Vom—er, fiancé. What's his deal?"

Jaune sighed the sigh of a man who'd explained multiversal chaos spirits one too many times. "It's… complicated. Maybe we can do one of his weird adventures later—"

FLASH.

White light swallowed everything.

When it faded, the cafeteria was gone.

They stood on the bridge of a starship—sleek consoles, humming warp core visible through a viewscreen showing starlines. Everyone wore crisp Starfleet uniforms: Ruby in red command with lieutenant pips, Yang in gold engineering, Blake and Weiss in blue science, Pyrrha in security red, Ren in medical teal. Nora bounced in ops yellow. Jaune himself sported command red with captain's pips.

And lounging in the captain's chair—now wearing a sharp Starfleet red uniform, dark hair slicked back, goatee impeccable—was Discord. Except now he looked… disturbingly human. And smug.

"It's later somewhere!" he declared, spreading his arms. "LET'S GO!"

Jaune groaned so hard it echoed off the bulkheads. "Uncle Q! I knew it!"

Discord—Q—grinned wider, snapping his fingers. The viewscreen flared to life, showing a Borg cube dead ahead.

"Captain Arc," Q purred, "your ship is about to be assimilated. Your crew is arguing over who gets to sit in your lap. Your family tree is a tangled mess of gods, spirits, and interdimensional refugees. What. Are. Your. Orders?"

Ruby squealed, spinning in her chair. "SPACE! We're in SPACE! Captain Jaune!"

Yang cracked her knuckles. "If anyone's sitting in the captain's lap on the bridge, it's me."

Blake's ears twitched under her uniform cap. "No."

Weiss stared at the science console like it had insulted her bloodline. "This defies every law of physics I know."

Pyrrha's hand hovered near her phaser. "Jaune—Captain—what do we do?"

Nora slammed the ops panel. "PHOTON TORPEDOES! FULL SPREAD!"

Ren closed his eyes. "We're all going to die."

Q floated upside-down again, munching cosmic popcorn that hadn't existed a second ago. "Oh, this is going to be delicious."

Jaune dropped his face into his hands, even as he slumped into his captain's chair.

"Why is my life a crossover fanfic?" he mumbled.

Q leaned in, whispering loud enough for the whole bridge to hear: "Because chaos loves you, my boy. And so do an alarming number of women. Now—engage!"

Notes:
Naturally it's Discord/Q from "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation"-Both played by the incredible John de Lancie. And given it's a reality bender, the canonicity of this is always suspect...

Okay so diving a bit into the Fate series I'm realizing something Jaune qualifies to be a Heroic spirit. The Rusted Knight is literally his legend... And now I'm trying to think on how much his legend (The Story) Effects him.

Would he be a Rider (Juniper Mount) Or a Saber... I would suggest Ruler but from my understanding it requires one to not covenant to Grail which due to his regrets (Pyrrha, Penny & Alyx) I can't see Applying to him.

And finally what would be his Noble Phantasm? Thoughts anyone?

If we go by the Seven Standard Classes, he definitely will be a Rider with at least A+ in Riding (not enough to naturally mount a dragon, but giving Juniper is a mythological animal based in a logical animal this fits) but he technically fits in the Foreigner (he barely has the qualifications for Saber though)

Ruler is not possible, because Jaune still have a desire in his heart AND he doesn't fit the role of a mediator.

Now, about Noble Phantasm:

Juniper: The Mount That Brings The Light to Darkness.

Type: Anti-Unit (Summon)

Rank: A

In some tales, is said that the jackalopes can only breed during lighting flashes and their antlers have healing propierties, so that could give her lightining speed and powers, and also can cure many things as long someone touch her antlers.

Fairy Tale Bestiary: The Friends and Foes We Made Along the Way

Type: Anti-Unit (Summon)

Rank: E – A+

The sublimation of Rider's journey through the Ever After. Specifically, of his many encounters with the inhabitants of the realm. Rider can summon a select few Phantasmal Beasts native to the Ever After. The summons are limited to entities that Rider holds a particular connection to (whether be for good or bad).

This Noble Phantasm does not guarantee that the summons will cooperate with Rider.

(Juniper was in this one, but I felt she deserved to be her own NP with her own set of powers).

Alyx's Dagger: The Promise Waiting at the End of the Journey

Type: Anti-Unit (self)

Rank: B

Towards the tail end of her journey, Alyx (The Girl Who Fell Through the World) betrayed the Rusted Knight. She later had a change of heart, but the Curious Cat killed her before she could set out to undo her mistakes.

The Dagger is actually a part of herself that she left behind for Rider, as a wish to fix what she had broken. Rider originally used the Dagger to restore his youth. As a Noble Phantasm, it is a weapon capable of performing a single miracle. Upon use, the dagger will shatter and fade away.

The NP are from here: https://forums.spacebattles.com/thr...s-read-the-threadmarks-please.370875/page-638

OH man this is good!

Any chance of Doing the other legends of Remnant?

The Grimm Reaper - Assassin or Lancer?

The Infinite Man -Caster or Ruler?

The Girl in the Tower or Even The White Witch of the Woods?

and finally after V8 . The Girl with the Message

The Grimm Reaper wasn't exactly that knowed, yes, she was good, but not a legend in a matter of sense.

The Infinite Man is a little tricky, because there's barely any idea of how Ozpin fight.

Now THIS one really will let summon Salem, and mostly in her Grimm version, because the other one doesn't have any kind of legend or something to be useful (unless it works like with Medea and the normal variant be a healer).

Meh, Ruby works better as a standalone servant than being someone who made something important to receive a epitaph.

I argue that if paul bunyan can be a servant a then Maria was at bear minimum a folk hero if Qrow heard about her

Well there is the animated shorts for the legends of RWBY/Remnant so they may be like Jackie oh! the Silver Eyed Warrior is another idea, but ya no real fighting power for Oz since in his own legend he gets betrayed killed then abandoned..

Salem being Remnant Medea is hilarious though who would summon the girl in the tower and be her Kuzuki?

Ruby had a world wide broadcast were she revealed the Grimm had a leader and then vanished for 6 months only to return alive so her getting summoned by say Qrow only for the guy to have a mental breakdown over learning legends have to die to be summoned and how young Ruby is
