They need to be sent to the Warhammer 40k setting, and urgently there are hungry demons, and here are two appetizing souls with a backlit pointer, like from a thermonuclear reactor and a sound bait "we are here". All the demons of the galaxy, from the gods of chaos to a small demon, will be shocked - ordinary people hide from the gaze of demons, and these two Assholes attract attention to themselves (and this is how it should be in any fantasy setting). Since the aura is not a super shield with superpowers, but a soul on display that demands its price for use, for example, a shortened life span. About making a Sneak a magician - Dark Souls (elden rings) is ideal for this, since magicians there use souls for spells (miracles - if a cleric).
In other fandoms, this should be more difficult due to differences in the energy of the world and the approach to the manifestation of abilities (we recall super strong characters from any authors with different gamer systems who understand any magic and abilities in a couple of seconds and apply them at any moment). The author just showed that with the blessing of the god of Dishonored, Jon was able to use magic and amulets.
Yes, it's worth sending to cannon RWBY in season 9, I want to look at Jon's attitude to the RWBY team. Especially after Jon gets his memories and the company's phone gets information about all four of them.
- The RWBY - 1 team) They are the smartest and know what to do. 2) The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. 3) They are not the reason for the destruction of humanity's last hope (sarcasm).
Boy, there sure is a lot to unpack here. But hey, why not?
1. The Dynamic Duo vs 40k. I have said it time and time again: someone that is trained to use their soul as a shield is going to be
more resistant against the daemonic and the corruptive, not less than the average sap. They'll prolly draw more attention, yeah, but by the time they feel ready to pick a world that dangerous they'll be ready for it.
In 40k in particular, daemons aren't real, they're malevolent
ideas, stories given form by the thoughts and emotions of the people in that galaxy. They're
narratives, incapable of going against their natures. And every narrative in 40k is shaped by the strength of will of those participating in them. You don't beat a daemon by having more muscles than it or a bigger gun or by feeding its narrative, you might as well be boxing your own shadow for all the good that'll do. Instead, you beat a daemon by having more weight in the narrative/Warp; being more of a protagonist than it.
To give an example, Joe Guardsman shooting a daemon with a lasgun isn't worth shit because
he isn't worth shit, mass-produced fodder shooting a mass-produced rifle with no story, no legend, nothing in the narrative that says he matters, an extra meant to die in droves to set the tone.
Contrast that with Jaune Arc. The Fool. The Hero. The Knight. The protector of the weak, the disciple of heroes, the shield raised against evil, wielding an ancient sword passed down a line of warriors, girded by the brilliant light of his soul... That kind of character has some
serious weight in the narrative. And that's not even getting into the strength of his willpower. In canon, when Jaune and his team were storming the fortress-whale of the big bad, a man who can see people's emotions looked at him, and saw absolutely no fear in him. Almost two years of suffering and toil, and he stood unbowed. Then he spent over two decades in a fairy tale world with no one for company but some suicidal starfish and a giant jackalope, and he didn't break. Cracked, yes, but never broke. Jaune Arc, once properly seasoned, is
nothing if he is not willpower incarnate.
The path
this Jaune will take in his development is going to be different from canon, but the two are cut from the same cloth. Too dumb to feel fear, not when it would stop them from saving lives.
2. I don't know how to put this gently, so I won't try: you have huffed too much Ironwood propaganda, and you need to stop and go touch some grass.
2.1.: The
only reason a handful of plucky teenagers with attitude are having to shoulder the burden of trying to save the world is because
EVERYONE they were supposed to be able to rely on, for one reason or another, failed them. Ozpin? A deeply depressed paranoiac with no ultimate plan for victory beyond an endless holding action. Qrow? A hopeless alcoholic who only started clawing his way out of a bottle after his nieces nearly died due to his negligence. Lionheart? A coward, a traitor, and a murderer who sent his students to their deaths to save his own skin. Ironwood? A PTSD'd and stressed the fuck out authoritarian with trust
subscriptions, who swan-dived headfirst into insanity and heartlessness the moment the going got tough.
Given
all of that? No fucking wonder things are bleak. Children inheriting a war and a broken world fucked over by those flawed adults that came before them.
2.2.: We can play the blame game for who was responsible for the fall of Atlas all we like (it was Ironwood, Salem, and Cinder; Ruby keeping secrets from Ironwood has no bearing on his piss-poor response to crises, fight me), but the fact of the matter remains that while Atlas was destroyed, the plan the heroes put together saved the
people of Atlas and Mantle, and delivered them to the only place on Remnant with an intact army of Huntsmen to defend the refugees from the ensuing misery-induced Grimm swarm.
2.3.: While I'm sure James
thought he was Atlas, the titan holding up the sky and savior of the world, he was the furthest thing from it. All it took for him to throw away everything good he had done up to that point was the sight of a single fucking chess piece, and that rattled him so badly he sent off his right hand woman to murder a senile old lady and move to stop the evacuation of Mantle on the flimsiest of suspicions that there
might be more infiltrators among the masses. When all of his countermeasures and safeguards had already failed to do anything to stop Salem's most powerful agent from waltzing into his damn office. By the end, despite his good intentions, James Ironwood ended up turning himself into a heartless monster, willing to leave to die and then kill half of his kingdom, because he was too afraid to
try to do the right thing.
So you want to know how Sneaking Jaune would react to Canon RWBY? He'd want to help them. Because that's who he is. A hero with a heart of gold. Not some vindictive hatedom insert going 'take that, you pathetic loser bitches, you shoulda licked dictator boots more, you get what you deserve, nyehhh!!!'
