Because him walking around with a big ass shield and just casually drops a "oh I do have a ranged option!" Before making ozpin & ruby wet themselves (for seperate reasons) as he transforms his shield into the black barrel.

Yes. Well not all of my fics but a LOT. I also directed it to scan "Dragonslayer" entries in my Spacebattles thread.

@LordofBones Any thoughts on Mash Kyrelight as the clone of Galahad and Jaune's sort-of cousin? Because it would be fun to have a Shielder around.
 
The Arc Clan: Cardin's Cousin Lara (Rough)
Something I may work on later. As said, a lot of the main characters of RWBY shouldn't have big families because that's crucial to their characters. Taiyang and Qrow not having anyone to intervene when they fell apart after Summer's death is crucial to Yang and Ruby's development. Ren and Nora are orphans and couldn't have anyone else. Pyrrha is socially isolated and awkward: We do get that one lady in Volume 5 at the memorial but she's never confirmed as a relative. But she could be, so there are possibilities there. Weiss, again, needs to grow up isolated but there could be a few other people in her family tree, and Blake might also have more family. So yeah, Jaune, being canonically part of a large family, is the go-to.

However! Since I have explored Yoruichi as Blake's aunt, we should expand things out more. So, how about Cardin's cousin Lara Colt? Essentially a Lara Croft expy but the pun was too good not to use.

She takes Teams CRDL, RWBY and JNPR with her on an archaeological expedition. Ruby fangirls HARD over her and is in disbelief that she's related to Cardin! Yang is very jelly. CRDL... Goons over her.

Cardin: Is the only one to show up

Ruby: "Uh... Cardin? Where's the rest of your team?"

Cardin: deep breath "They're in the infirmary. And I'm not answering any more questions."

Jaune: "... Violated the Bro code, huh?"

Cardin: "Yep. And I swear Jauney, if your stupid Harem powers get my cousin after you, I will END YOU!"

Jaune: "N-NO! NO! It's-I don't-They won't!"

Cardin: "GOOD."

Later, after a rip roaring adventure fighting ancient horrors and dealing with lost magic...

Lara: "You're not a half-bad bullet shield, Jaune!"

Jaune: "Urgh... Thanks..."

Lara: smirks "You single?"

Jaune: "Huh?!"

RWBY+P: "WHAT?!"

Cardin: "DAMNIT JAUNE I WARNED YOU! NOW YOU DIE!"

Jaune: "NO I SWEAR I DIDN'T-!"

Cardin: "JAAAAUUUUNNNNNE!"

The Arc Clan: Cardin's Sister Argentia (Rough)
As further expansion to Cardin's Family, in White Knight Errant we did have Argentia Winchester, his elder sister. Her name means "Silver". She would be VERY tall, almost as tall as her brother, and an Ace Huntress. Very much an Amazon and VERY strong. Think Makoto Kino as a redhead.

She's very good at Hunting but she tries to avoid the spotlight. She wants to live up to her family name and legacy and set a good example for her younger brother. She's also a very pragmatic fighter and not above "cheap" tricks to defeat Grimm or bandits. Her main weapon is a poleaxe. She calls it Striker, and it does have Dust Slots to enhance her blows. But she also carries Dust pistols, a rifle, and grenades. She was taught in a rather old school kind of way.

She could be friendly rivals with Winter, and unfriendly rivals with Qrow.

Cardin looks up to her and wants to live up to her example.

... And then she meets Jaune Arc.

Argentia: "You know, you should carry a side arm and grenades. It would give you a lot more options in battle. You're very strong but without mobility, you need to be more flexible."

Jaune: "Really? I mean, uh... I also want to learn how to do Aura Slashes."

Argentia: "Also great! And with Aura like yours, you should learn it! The more options you have, the better. I only got where I am because I learned to play the support role as well as the front line role."

Jaune: "Huh! That's a good point."

Argentia: "Do you have medical training?"

Jaune: "I do, actually."

Argentia: smiles "That's great! Everything you can bring to the table is good. Hunting isn't just fighting, it's every way you maximise the chances of survival."

Jaune: "Well, yeah... I guess there's just so much emphasis here on fighting ability..."

Argentia: "Ugh, I hated that. They've really cut down the curriculum to just the basics lately. You've got a lot of skills that Hunters would kill for out in the field! And having a tactical mind is also great! A lot of Hunters can't lead, they just fight. A good leader maximizes everyone's chances of winning."

Jaune: "Well... Thank you."

Argentia: smiles "Don't mention it!"

Argentia walks away, meeting Cardin nearby.

Cardin: "What was that about?"

Argentia: "Just getting to know your friend Jaune."

Cardin: "I... We..." sighs "I guess he is."

Argentia: "You should make sure. I think you two would be great friends." smiles "I'm only looking out for you."

Cardin: smiles "Thanks sis."

Argentia: "Still... Since you're friends, I was wondering...?"

Cardin: "What?"

Argentia: blush "... Is he single?"

Cardin: "GODDAMNIT JAUNE!"
 
Soooo....we gonna get anything with anymore sailor scout lookalikes?
Because Jaune's cousin Usagi and all her friends who moved away might be funny see

Argentia: Jaune?

Jaune: Big sis Arg?

Usagi: Jaune!

Jaune: Cousin Usagi!

Cue cardin getting a very stern "talk" about his bullying jaune from his sis and her friends.

Also be funny seeing jaune reminiscing and joking about how the girls would always say they would have to "keep jaune to themselves" and "agreeing to share". When they were younger all while they all nervously laugh and look at eachother.

Asia Argento? A beating would be too little. Snip snip!
 
Isekai'd Back, Motherf*ckers!
So... Some friends of mine who were in the military have a decidedly low opinion of how RWBY portrays such things. And as a student of military history, yeah, I agree. It sucks.

So, what would Remnant look like if, just for the hell of it, we isekai'd a few famous military commanders from our universe into it? They did it with the Justice League, so why not people who actually know how to lead, organize, and fight wars?

How about Julius Caesar?

Or Ghengis Khan?

Robert E. Lee?

Alexander the Great?

George Patton?

Napoleon?

Ulysses S. Grant?

Tran Hung Dao?

Put them into Remnant, grow up with their memories activating, and let's see how things go!

George "Ol Grimm & Guts" Patton
 
Not going to lie, Napoleon would absolutely dominate any and all of the other isekaied commanders and factions (yes that includes Salem's).

Napoleon defeated all of allied Europe, not once, twice or even thrice, but 6 times. All of Europe formed an alliance, tried 6 times and failed, when they did win they sent Napoleon to a certain isolated island with soldiers guarding him, he made the soldiers switch sides and came back to conquer Europe out of confinement, that's not the full story though, in all of his wars that he fought, his army was outnumbered every single time and once won a battle in which his army was outnumbered 1 to 10, but he won anyway.

Heck, the reason that Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo was because Napoleon was sick during the battle and left many commands that he ussually took to his generals.

Throw in a running gag of Dr Roman constantly foiling Ozpin's plans to recruit her. It drives Ozpin and Qrow nuts.
 
Leadership 1
Ruby was practically bouncing off the walls with joy as she headed to the first leadership class. Jaune himself trudged a bit.

Ruby: "Come on Jaune! Isn't this exciting?! Our first leadership class!"

Jaune: sighs "I know... Sorry Ruby, but given how hard everything else is? I'm not feeling the enthusiasm."

Ruby: "Aw, come on Jaune! This is awesome! We're our team leaders! And yeah, you kind of suck at, well, a lot of stuff-"

Jaune: deadpan "Thanks."

Ruby: "-But you're good at leadership! Come on! Be happy! For me?"

Jaune: sigh "I'll try."

Ruby: "YAY!"

They made it to the classroom. Professor Ozpin was waiting for them. Cardin winced when he saw Jaune. Jaune scowled back. Cardin sighed... Then gestured to two seats next to him.

Ruby: "Eh? Hey, what's your deal?"

Cardin: "I'm trying to be nice, pipsqueak. You got a problem with that?"

Ruby: "No! I guess? And I'm not a pipsqueak! I'm drinking my milk!"

Jaune: "Thanks Cardin." They sat down.

Ozpin: "Good of you all to join us. Siemen Magister, as the leader of team SLVR and one of our senior teacher's assistants, I leave the rest to you. I have other matters to attend to."

Ozpin headed out. A handsome young man in a long gray jacket, dark red hair, and tanned skin stepped up with a smile.

Siemen: "It's great to see so many new faces. Now, leadership of a team is more than just keeping it together in the field and fighting. There's a lot of hard work off the field too."

Ruby: "Ooh! Ooh! Like training?"

Siemen: nods "That is also important... But more importantly? Is paperwork."

Ruby: jaw drops "Paperwork?!"

Siemen: smiles "Yep! As team leaders you must account for your team's stores of supplies, types of supplies, finances, training room time, medical condition, and many other things! You must also demonstrate your ability to write mission reports and convey information properly that other Huntsmen, the police, the military and other organizations use when it comes to Grimm, the ground of your missions, and damages you cause or others inflict."

Ruby: "Well... Um... I-I'm sure it can't be that bad to start, right?"

Siemen: beams "That's the spirit!"

Siemen... Dumps several large stacks of paperwork on the various leaders' desks.

Ruby: "Wait, actual paperwork?!"

Siemen: "It's so you can get used to the digital stuff first. Trust me, it will be a breeze after this!"

Some hours later...

Cardin: "Geez... I thought helping dad with his campaign finances was bad..."

Ruby: eyes spinning "Wha... What's an index?! WHAT'S A LEDGER?! WHAT IS ALL THIS?!"

Ruby slammed her face into the stack and moaned. She looked over at Jaune.

Ruby: "Jaune? You okay there budd-?"

Jaune was up with Siemen, handing in his paperwork.

Ruby: "Wha-He's already done?!"

Cardin: "No way... It can't all be done properly-!"

Siemen: "Very good, Mister Arc! Everything checks out! You can relax until everyone else is done."

Jaune: "Thanks, Mister Magister!"

Jaune walked over to the desk and sat down next to Ruby with a smile. He looked over at his best friend and Cardin, who were staring at him in disbelief.

Jaune: "What?"

Ruby: "Wha-How did you get all that done so fast and correctly?!"

Jaune: sighs "Well, I had to help my mom with paperwork at the hospital, help my dad with paperwork at the militia, help my sisters with paperwork for various reasons, did some accounting for my great-grandpa's restaurant..." shrugs "In comparison, this isn't too hard! Plus, Nora has to ask me for more money for Dust and she has to get the proportions just right, so she's pretty good at keeping track of things."

Ruby: "I... Wha...?!"

Jaune: "Pyrrha buys most of her own stuff but she still reports it to me, and Ren is very good at math too. So, we're pretty set." smiles "I'm sure you can get it too, Ruby! I mean, Weiss is rich: She must know something about business? And Yang was like your mom so she has to know finances? And Blake... Um..."

Ruby: "Y-Yeah... I'm sure they'll be fine... Totally fine...!"

Cardin: "Jauney-boy? I take back every bad thing I ever said about you. Mind helping me out? My team will train with yours... I'll carry your books? Set you up with my hot sister?!"

Coco: leans over "Like hell he will! Arc, you help me out and I'll let you take Bun-Bun on a date! And I'll make sure she's extra sexy for you!"

Jaune: sighs "It's just paperwork, guys. Don't be so melodramatic. But! I will help you all out... If!"

Ruby: "I get Weiss to go out with you?!"

Jaune: "What?! No! I want to do that myself! I know I'm wearing her down!"

Ruby: "Ummmm..."

Jaune: "But I'll just ask that we be friends. And I get some help with the stuff I'm not good at when it comes to Hunting."

Coco: "So... Everything then?"

Jaune: wince "... Yeah... Except for this."

Coco: "Sounds fair."

Cardin: "Seriously, offering him your teammate?"

Coco: "What? She's got a thing for big, dumb galoots! Maybe if you weren't a racist on top of that, I'd have set you two up!"

Cardin: blush "I-I would never be interested in her! N-Never!"

Ruby: "Well... I guess it's nice to have more friends..."

Jaune: "Yeah, see? We're socializing more already!"

Ruby: beams "Yeah! I... I think this is gonna turn out just fine!"

And then the fight with the White Fang at the Wharves happened, but that's another story...

Lately, a rather preachy theme pops up in his fics. The Arc Corp is biggest offender: there's a 4-time recycling of the same type of character. And the same preaching about "nice guys" popped up in Old Crow.

A few ideas I've had in between my fever and sleep:

-Ozpin was betting on RWBY to be his next generation troubleshooting team. Suppose Ironwood saw JNPR and tried to cultivate them as his? Jaune being an able tactician who can see the bigger picture would appeal to a general's sensibilities. Ren's stoicism and Nora's destructiveness would too, and Pyrrha's incredible overall abilities would complete the package.

Now JNPR and RWBY are in competition with one another, which could be very interesting.

-Jaune's family sends him a care package, with some alcohol right from their brewery. Since Jaune is based on a French person, he's been having wine with his breakfast since he was six. So he's the only one who has any sort of tolerance for alcohol... Chaos ensues.

-Team SSSN work with the police department of Vale, and are soon up to their elbows in cop show cliches!

-A more serious take on Eve Taurus. What if she was with Menagerie's diplomatic corps, serving as a diplomat and trying to smooth over relations between Menagerie and everyone else? She believed in the peaceful route, even if it took longer and was more difficult, as opposed to her brother taking the violent and easy path?

-Yang has to do community service, and Jaune is assigned as her minder. They bond as they work at an orphanage he volunteers at.

-Ruby unlocks the ability to see through clothing with her Silver Eyes. Hoo boy.

-Ruby's Crescent Rose is lost in a training mission gone wrong. She's absolutely miserable and blames herself. Jaune and Pyrrha go out to find it for her!
