[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

[SharkCultist]

The Arcs routinely send care packages to Jaune and his team, filled with food, drink and sweets including cultural dishes and favorite foods for Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora.

It's all fun and games until Team RWBY find out when Jaune offers Ruby a homemade cookie and a piece of pie during a midnight snack binge.

Just for some fun put in a bit of culture shock.

Ruby and Yang having vastly different opinions on finding out a hometown special is spicy candy.

Yang is a fan. Ruby thinks it's a sin against confections.

You know, having something sour and a bit savory, often enhances the candy or another sweet experience.

Even Spiciness can do that if paired up with above two mentioned flavors. Like the fruit street vendors of my hometown, cut up some Guava, sprinkle some red pepper and salt, mix it in a bag and that makes for a really good snack.

So I think Ruby is possibly missing out on some good stuff. Especially if it's like one of those sugary candy wrapped in some red pepper powder? Oooh that sounds good.

So funny thing...Miles admits that, with benefit of hindsight, he kind of regrets that they made Jaune the ignorant yokel at the beginning of Beacon in order to explain Aura and Huntsmen to the audience. Especially since Oscar would be added later on (at that point, Oscar was simply a theorethical concept as Ozpin's new host; not even a concept art or even name was in the works yet).

It gets even crazier that Miles also admits that if he would assign a specialty to Jaune or say what Jaune's greatest talent would be: it is Aura Manipulation. Especially since Aura Amp also gives an instinctive idea of how to move and harness one's Aura as a passive effect/required secondary superpower (hence why Jaune could instantly use it minutes after activation).

I'm one of those people who believes Remnant isn't too adventurous with its cooking.

There's plenty of pasta and sandwiches and pizza mostly because those things have a million variations and you can reuse ingredients across the board.

But some things they aren't willing to go out of their way for. So things like Mexican spiced chocolate? Nobody has really considered because they don't wanna waste supplies with experimentation.

Hell even stuff like fireball candies on remnant are most likely a accident when making a different candy. Too much cinnamon added during the process leading to the discovery.

Yeah, I am familiar with this. That was one of my inspirations for making Jaune's family backstory. It's possible Isabel and Nick both knew that Jaune would pick up anything Aura related very quickly once it was unlocked. Hence why Isabel was fine with waiting on unlocking it until he got to medical school.

But neither of them expected him to go to Beacon without his Aura being unlocked. They underestimated how crazy determined their son could get... Which they really should have seen coming, given the crazy stuff they did when they were his age.

You know, this story beat of Jaune being the Aura expert makes a lot of sense both in the later show writing and Jaune's character.

Vine hinted that Jaune should be able to extend his Aura, so we can possible see a situation where he can do

A) Long distance targeted boosting, healing of a person.

B) Do an AOE circle that acts not only as a healing spell, Boosting effect but also as a Shield/Barrier. Like Joan's Noble Phantasm from FGO.

If we think about it, he can truly take the tank position even against Salem and still retain his support role for Team RWBY.

Like constantly amping himself and taking all the punishment away from his team and when his team does go on the offensive he can cast basically long range super powered support spells or make an impenetrable barrier to protect them.

And if he gets really pissed? Like a real tank he could probably let off a really large damage attack by condensing his Amplified Aura in a single large scale attack.
