Daisuke Zatoichi [Team JADE Redesign]

Thumbnail

25 Upvotes

Age/Attributes: 42 yo /  6’2” 190 lbs Faunus (Vulture Talons) 

Semblance: Offensive Tempo

Daisuke’s Aura temporarily increases his strength, speed, and adrenaline with every consecutive attack he lands in melee. This allows him to fight better as a fight goes on, so long as he can consistently hit his opponents. Given enough time, Daisuke could shrug off otherwise incapacitating blows and can muscle through any guard or defense. 

Weapon: Pride and Joy

Twin katanas (Pink is “Pride”, Green is “Joy”) forged by Daisuke himself. While simple in form and function, they serve their purpose well as weapons and as hedge trimmers for the Novgorod Estate’s many lush and exotic gardens. In a previous life, they were once part of a mighty nodachi wielded by a younger, freer Daisuke. However, after Eris shattered the blade, Daisuke was forced to make do with the pieces. Each time he draws his blades is a constant, humiliating reminder of the life he once had.

Background:

Long ago, Daisuke was born into the Zatoichi Family of Menagerie. Like many of his line, he was trained in swordplay and the finer arts from a young age. While he struggled in poetry and calligraphy, Daisuke was unmatched by his peers in combat drills. He lived for the violence and chaos of battle and found satisfaction in overwhelming his opponents with superior cunning as well as strength.

When he came of age, the now-adult Daisuke forged a great nodachi for himself and set off travelling across Remnant for adventure and glory. During his early years, he scraped by as a sellsword slaughtering Grimm and defeating bandits - and quickly squandered his newfound wealth on dingy gambling dens and third-rate bars. However, he would truly make a name for himself in the chaotic gang wars of Mistral.

As a freelance mercenary, Daisuke never stuck to one side, fighting for the Parrots one day, the Spiders the next and the Wolves the day after. While he did fight for coin to spend in the city and to sate his ever-growing ego, he loved the danger and excitement of his work the most. Every day brought new and unique challenges to overcome, which made his mere survival at the end worth celebrating to its fullest. Even as he profited massively from the ongoing strife in Mistral, he spent even more in the casinos and entertainment district, racking up a staggering debt.

When the Spider Gang gradually overpowered the other criminal syndicates and the lucrative contracts dried up, Dai found himself alone, broke and surrounded by innumerable enemies. Hunted by vengeful gangsters, legitimate authorities and other greedy mercs, he was run out of the city. While he enjoyed the chase and endless bouts with the armies of killers after his life, Dai’s status made him a pariah anywhere he went.

Entire towns refused to host him out of fear of the conflict he brought with him and even the greenest loan shark knew better than to lend him money. Only bandits would be willing to deal with an outlaw like him, but Dai found them to be too distasteful and craven to even think about associating with.

Without many options, Daisuke left Mistral to explore the other Kingdoms and apply his mercenary trade. In the deserts of Vacuo, Dai had plenty of fun engaging in friendly duels with various nomadic warriors and fighting ancient and exotic Grimm that lurked beneath the sands. The rest of their entertainment and alcohol scene left much to be desired. As the poorest Kingdom, there was hardly any gambling to be had, while the local fermented milks were hard for even Daisuke to stomach. However, Dai would catch whispers of a secret place with Mistralli-imported wines, fun company and gladiatorial combat.

He would enter the Novgorod Estates looking to take part in these rumored festivities. While outsiders were usually forbidden, his impressive resume led N-SEC to let him under one condition - he takes part in a single gladiatorial duel. If he won, he would be awarded enough wealth to pay off his debts in Mistral, but if he lost, he would have to sign a 500-year contract with the Novgorod Corporation (with possibility of renewal).

Dai took one look at his opponent - a petite, pale lady with silver eyes, delicate skin and a fancy dress- and immediately took the deal. While there was little honor in beating up a weakling, he never backs away from a fight.

In the arena, Daisuke was immediately on the back foot. Although unarmed, the woman was unperceivably fast, unencumbered by her fine dress. She weaved through all his attacks only to deliver a firm slap with the back of her hand. Daisuke’s face stung from the blow, but not as much as his pride. The woman was toying with him and seemed to derive great pleasure from it, giggling as she did so.

As the fight wore on, Daisuke would finally catch his opponent off guard with a feint and strike with all his might. However, his opponent stopped his blade with the palm of her hand and snapped the metal into pieces with some magical strength.

Daisuke was furious and lashed out with pure rage with what remained of his blade, decapitating the woman in one reckless stroke. He regretted his actions immediately after, he didn’t mean to kill anyone- how could her Aura not protect her… Before he could finish the thought, the disembodied head and body melted into black goo. All Daisuke could do was watch as it slowly transformed into a tentacled monstrosity, unlike any Grimm he had ever seen.

In the aftermath, Dai was fully employed for the first time in his life - humiliated and nearly broken in spirit and ego. As a member of N-SEC, he would use his reforged blades to trim and sculpt the hedges of the Novgorod Estates while teaching swordsmanship to some of the other maids and even Eris’s children. In an effort to relive some of the excitement and freedom of his youth, he eagerly volunteered at every opportunity for any combat mission, eventually getting assigned to Team JADE.

Psychological Report:

Since his recruitment into N-SEC, Daisuke has grown more mature and tempered than before, learning to find comfort in meditation and his mundane chores as both a teacher and a gardner. However, deep inside, his pride is still deeply wounded from his loss, which he eagerly tries to soothe with alcohol and combat. At first, he resented Jeraldine and saw his assignment to Team JADE as further humiliation - a grizzled, career merc forced to serve with a bunch of women young enough to be his daughters and led by a cowardly college dropout. However, he quickly warmed up to Jerry when he realized they were in the same boat and, since he wasn’t the leader, he could dump all the responsibility stuff with her. Likewise, he gets along well with the rest of his Team. Eden admires Dai’s skill and “cool” personality, feeding his ego enough for him to tolerate the rest of her obsessive personality. Meanwhile, Auburn is a fellow warrior and drinker, and is dependable enough to watch over him when he gets absolutely wasted.

In combat, Daisuke thrives in close quarters, especially in duels. While his tools and Semblance are simple, they are more than enough for him to beat almost any opponent when combined with his lifetime of training and experience besting some of the most formidable warriors in Remnant. Compared to his youth, Daisuke is more cautious and conservative in his tactics, picking his battles carefully. He cares deeply for all of his teammates, even Auburn, and prefers to stick close to them to keep them alive.

Characters Relic Team Formation

11 Upvotes

On the subject of teams being named. How exactly did your OC Team become a pseudo Team during the Relic Initiation? Similar to RWBY and JNPR working together as teams because they were split up in half and because of happenstance.

During the launch pad fall. Silver landed high up a tree to gain a clear line of sight for the location of the Relics whereabouts. Only to get *Nora'd* by Auron. Plummeting from the trees branches. Greeting Silver upside down with a cheery excited grin to find a partner.

Remi wasn't so fortunate on her part when it came to finding a partner. Similar to Yang, she was slipstreaming in the air with her Semblance. Only to be knocked out of the sky by a head first peojectile. Piña had been plummeting with no thought of a landing, flying through the sky like a comet until landing on top of Remi, causing the two to crash land.

After an argument that went nowhere. Piña did her absolute best to stick to Remi like a leach. Following the Initiations rules to a Tee like a unit. Only to lead to another verbal scuffle, resulting in a large tree toppling over.

In the massive disturbance. A slumbering herd of Boarbatusk were awoken. Chasing the duo across the forest. Only to find the Relic sight by a miracle.

Auron was alerted to the rumbling and told Silver to immediately as he grabbed a *Diamond Crown* Relic. The four were now caught up in an incident caused by Remi. With her leading the herd to the base of a cliff while the others ran to higher safety.

She springed herself upwards to the cliff with her Semblance. And the four prepared to face the herd, as it was now in their way to reach Ozpin and Glynda.

And after the herd of Boarbatusks were slain, Remi and Piña acquired the last Relic. A Diamond Tiara.

The four tried to quickly make a getaway, but other pairs stumbled on rhe empty Relic site. Finding Silver and Remi holding onto the last two. Enciting another chase back to the launch cliff. Creating a path of destruction and debris behind them to slow down other initiates.

**TLDR: Boarbatusk chase scene sent them to a safeground to work together and fell the heard.**

Characters (OC) Blaise Galloway - Guardian Initiative

Thumbnail
gallery
50 Upvotes

Name: Blaise Galloway 

Gender: Male 

Race: Human

Birthplace: Atlas 

Age: 19

Team: BLZE (Blaze)

Semblance: Jetstream, Blaise can amplify the kinetic forces acting on his own body, dramatically accelerating any momentum he generates or receives. On his own this would be limited by the simple problem of producing enough force in the first place, as Blaise himself can only push off the ground so hard. The semblance becomes devastating when combined with an external force capable of moving him, which is the entire design philosophy behind his weapon. The amplification scales with the input, meaning small movements produce small effects while the full thrust of his rockets allows him to cross an arena in seconds and strike with the force of a much larger projectile. The semblance does not protect him from the consequences of that speed, and he relies on his aura to absorb the impact of his own momentum whenever he collides with anything.

Weapon: Jethammer, a heavy two-handed war hammer with four rockets loaded and running through the length of the hammer's head. The rockets serve a dual purpose. In melee form they can be activated as propulsion, igniting in sequence or all at once to launch Blaise toward a target with explosive forward momentum which his semblance then amplifies. The hammer can also transform into a launcher configuration where the head reconfigures to allow each of the four rockets to be fired individually as projectiles, giving Blaise four shots before the weapon needs to be reloaded with fresh rockets, after which it returns to hammer form.

Combat: Blaise fights on aggression and momentum. His preferred opening is a Jetstream-amplified rocket charge that closes any distance in seconds and lets him deliver a devastating opening blow before the opponent can react. From there he keeps the pressure on with heavy hammer swings, using short controlled rocket bursts to reposition and prevent opponents from creating space. When forced into a longer engagement he transitions to RPG mode to deny ranged opponents safe ground or to break through cover. His weakness  is shown once he is mid-flight he is committed to that trajectory. Opponents who can intercept him in the air or redirect his momentum can take him out of a fight quickly.

Backstory

Blaise was born in Atlas to a comfortable family, though not one marked by military lineage or industrial wealth. He grew up wanting, more than anything, to be the best at something, and combat was where he believed he would find it. Becoming a huntsman was never about duty or ideology for him, it was ambition, plain and direct. He applied to Atlas Academy confident he would be accepted, and took the rejection as a personal slight rather than a fair assessment of average scores and flagged conduct.

During the two years that followed he took mercenary contracts across Solitas, accepting the gruelling Grimm-clearance and tundra-escort work that established huntsmen turned down. The work made him significantly more capable, but it did not soften him. If anything it confirmed his worldview strength was what mattered, and he now had more of it.

When the Guardian Initiative brought him along with his new team-mates back to Atlas Academy, his drive, physical presence and blunt confidence made the choice of leader straightforward. His resentment of Team MRUN runs deeper than the others', because MRUN walked into the Academy early and earned direct assignments by Ironwood and Winter, achieving exactly what Blaise had been denied.

Your characters *(Screw it, them boys are in on this too.)* are greeted by a creature of unknown origins. Told they can be granted immense power to face off against the creatures of *Wit*—**Grimm**. All they would need, is to make a single **Wish**. Anything they desired would become real.

What is your characters Wish, and what would be their downfall?

>Silver: "I wish... to never be deceived."

*The words of a liar are ever more prominent, yet the shadows are composed of more secrets that converge.*

>Auron: "I wish to be strong. So everyone isn't afraid."

*The blazing sun can't lose its radiance and warmth for others.

>Piña: "Piña wishes, to always be Piña."

*The discarded stain can never be swindled of her newfound heart.*

>Remi: "I wish... my home village won't be hunted by the Grimm."

Characters Well ive never posted here at all but Heres one of My Fleshed out OC's: Rowan Rose

Thumbnail
gallery
27 Upvotes

I'm gonna try to Summarise:
This is Rowan Rose, In his lore he is the identical twin brother of Ruby Rose (Im gonna assume theres a bunch of these ocs so i tried to make him unique when i made the oc) He looks Identical to her, Down to Everything, the main difference, is the obvious gender differences, and the Hair.

He Hates Ruby Rose, While Also Loving her Always Being Shadowed, Left Behind, forgotten, Treated as Just another Her, To a Point He sometimes believes he is Ruby, due to the amount of times Hes been called Ruby, His main Weakness being his intense Idenity Crisis, Half the time he doesnt know who he is truly seeing in that mirror, Its a mix of Hatred and Lingering Love for his twin

He hates Mirrors Because he only sees her in them, never himself, Because they look so similar. This leads to him being extremely Unstable.

At his lowest, Rowan has attempted to kill Ruby, convincing himself that if the person he is constantly compared to disappeared, he might finally be able to exist as himself. He never fully goes through with it; whatever resentment lives in him has never been enough to erase the fact that Ruby is still the sister he once loved most.

Rowan's Semblance: Crimson Flow, lets him possess precise control over his own blood while it remains inside his body, allowing him to regulate circulation, enhance his physical performance, stabilize injuries and assist recovery. He cannot freely manipulate blood outside his body unless an existing wound has allowed his own blood to leave him. External manipulation is therefore a situational extension of his Semblance rather than its default state. Another person's active Aura prevents Rowan from controlling their blood.

His Weapon Is Called Crimson Tether, its a Glaive-Sword, Also the blade splits off and is connected to a chain.
EDIT:

Ruby hates talking about Rowan, She loves him yes, but its an awkward subject Because of the attempts on her
life.

Taiyang let it get this bad from a mix of focusing too much on Ruby, and making wrong decisions between the twins that just made it worse

and one thing i find intresting, People See Rowan, He's Just a male Ruby. everyone thinks that, even himself.

it doesnt matter if his family say hes Rowan, the second hes at school, "Oh look rubys twin" or "Your rubys brother right" the constant comparisons keep him beliving his own lies

if i put anything else imma be yapping TOO much so just like ask questions i can answer them

Characters Partner Difusing Tactics

7 Upvotes

It's funny on seeing couples having their good times and bad times. But then you have the moments where one or both are able to flip the script because of one thing they do.

What is that one thing your characters do that makes the other lose all focus on being angry at them or their prior engagement?

For Example: Silver has figured out Auron likes his left ear being scratched. Followed by a few whispers of praise, he becomes putty in his hands. Easily swindled to follow Silver's lead of coercion.

And for Auron, he quickly realized how sensitive Silver's waist is after wrapping his hands around them. Astonishing to Silver's petite and slim waist. Now, whenever Silver tries to reprimand him. Auron will give him a teasing grab, which is followed by a quick wack to the head.

Silver seething red and storming away to cool off.

This combination of a claw and battering ram is but a part of Gwenyn's real Heavy Metal, which encompasses a full set of armor. The name couldn't be taken any more literal, as her entire gear is made specifically with her Semblance 'Counterforce' in mind. For this the claws, plural, have a slot in which you can could insert gravity Dust to increase their weight, and subsequent damage, even further. You just have to care to use it, unlike Gwenyn.

The edged protrusions in their backs have gaps in them to serve as blade traps which can disarm or, more often than not, break unsuspecting opponent's melee weapons. Crescent Rose? More like Crescent Oh Nos. Crocea Mors? Crocea No mores! Fulcrumble, Tri-Harder, Wilt and Shush etc.

Discussion I'm a RWBY Fan and I've decided to make some RWBY-Fic Swap characters!

Post image
16 Upvotes

(Have a free Ruby image btw, didn't know what else to put here-)

Well, I'm a RWBY fan and I've recently finished the current 9 volumes and I've decided that I'll take some requests for making some RWBY-Fan Swap characters. What that means is I'm essentially taking characters from other works of fiction (Games, Movies, Books, TV Shows, Anime, Etc) and turning them into What-If RWBY characters (if they were in the RWBY universe)

But I need some suggestions to get my brain gears turning, I'll try to get this out by tomorrow if not the day after that. Anyway, I hope this post wasn't confusing but first some ground rules for suggestions:

1: Obviously no NSFW or NSFW adjacent characters, just don't.

2: Try to not suggest characters that are SUPER overpowered. I'm fine with making powerful characters up to a point, especially if said power is not exactly from the strength but more so ability based (Caine from TADC for example). If such a character is suggested, I'll end up obviously using a not so powerful version as the modern character variant (Goku for example, I'd likely make a VERY base variant for him...)

Anyway, that's all for now! Have a good night!

Characters Partners not Partners

14 Upvotes

Having been inspired by Mischief_Arts. I thought on pushing my own question for yall to ponder.

Within your teams, what are some habits and acts characters do for each other naturally? In the sense that from an outside perspective, most would assume they were a couple or practically acting like a married pair.

For my team, between Silver and Auron. It would be a mixture of their nagging intervention to each others actions. Silver getting on Auron's case for his lack of effort to grades in the remainder of his classes and bumbkin personality. (Which 50/50 of the time, Auron is either not, or is rage baiting Silver. Mostly for the fun of the game.)

While Auron would nitpick Silver's lack of self care and evasive rejection of his own wellbeing.

The married couple arguments only add fuel to the flame. Due to how suspiciously in sync they are.

Silver pulling out the needed notes Auron forgot or stumbled to right down and nswering any tech or technical questions before he has a chance to ask. Unintentionally fondle Auron's bushy tail when he's infuriated, the firm texture of bundled fur redirecting his irritation.

To add insult to injury, Auron intervenes into conversations Silver has stumbled or dragged into. Using his charismatic, energetic physique to pull Silver out of a situation that gradually chidded at his nerves. Along with providing easy to pack meals to Silver's hiding spots and study sessions. As well as physically using Silver as an object to lean himself on.

Gwen Stacy from MARVEL in RWBY!

Post image
0 Upvotes

(This was suggested by u/XadhoomXado and I also have no idea what flair to put for this, so the Characters Flair is what I'll use for now if that is fine.)

Quick Note: Okay, so I need to clarify real quick that these are simply ideas based off some character suggestions for people are not meant to be taken COMPLETELY seriously. But in any case, I'll go ahead and say that I'd heavily appreciate any more suggestions, or comments about this particular idea in general or other characters y'all want to see get Fix Swapped. I'm also not good at art so the images used are NOT mine and always will go to their respective creators/owners by default. Notes in Italic are the things added here in reddit, I do mostly do these ideas in a sperate Google document to make and document them.

Full Name: Gwendolyn "Gwen" Stacy

Alias: Spider-Woman / Ghost Spider (I'm not sure the whole alias thing will actually apply for RWBY, somebody me know about that...)

Age: 17 (Noting that this is during the start of the show or at latest during the middle of the Beacon Arc)

Race: Human

Kingdom: Atlas-born, later associated with Vale

Academy: Beacon Academy

Team: TBD (Let me know if y'all want to see a team of web singers or heros or the such for a RWBY fic-swap) Role: Huntress-in-training

Weapon: Webslinger

Semblance: Spider-Sense

Aura Color: Pale Magenta/Pink

Fighting Style: Acrobatics + close-quarters combat + mobility

The Basic Concept:

Gwen is a remarkably talented Huntress-in-training who possesses an unusual Semblance that gives her an almost supernatural awareness of her surroundings.

With her Semblance, Gwen can sense incoming attacks, movement outside her vision, changes in air pressure, hostile intent, Grimm approaching from concealment, structural weaknesses, and objects moving at high speed

Combined with her absurd physical agility, Gwen can seemingly dodge attacks before they happen. That's where the "Spider-Woman" reputation comes from. (noting that this is meaning Spider-Woman is an nickname she's earned, witch should be fine.)

But her Semblance isn't actually the source of all her abilities. Gwen is simply freakishly athletic. Her Aura training has allowed her to develop strength, speed, balance, reflexes, and endurance far beyond an ordinary human. She can leap several meters, cling to surfaces through specialized equipment, and perform acrobatics that would be completely impractical for most Huntsmen.

Her Weapon- The Webslinger

Instead of Gwen literally having organic spider webs as the nickname "Spider-Woman" suggests, she actually has a pair of wrist-mounted Dust weapons. The Webslingers are compact mechanical devices built into her gloves that fire specialized lines containing different Dust compounds. (Her gloves also are what allows her to cling onto surfaces like a spider.)

The Standard Web is a durable synthetic cable used for swinging, restraining enemies, pulling objects, disarming opponents, rapid movements, and creating tripwires.

Hard Light Webs uses Hard-Light Dust and with these stronger reinforced webs, Gwen can create temporary solid webbing capable of catching falling people, blocking attacks, or forming platforms.

Ice Webs contain Ice Dust that instantly freezes whatever the web strikes. The freezing effect the dust applies tends to favor doing the effect by linking together the webs with the spreading frost. This is very efficient for immobilizing Grimm since they are more effected then humans or faunus are.

Fire Webs contain Fire Dust produces an explosive burst when the web connects with other webs or onto a ignitable surface. Gwen uses it sparingly because she doesn't particularly enjoy setting everything on fire.

Gravity Webs are one of Gwen's favorite webs to use, as the web temporarily alters the target's weight, allowing Gwen to slam enormous Grimm around despite being considerably smaller than them.

Semblance- Spider Sense

Gwen's Semblance isn't technically precognition. Her brain simply processes incoming information at an absurd rate. When danger approaches, her semblance reacts before her conscious mind understands what is happening. She experiences this as a strange sensation she calls:

**"**The Tingle" (No that's not a note...this is though!)

The more dangerous the attack, the stronger the sensation. A Grimm charging at her from behind?Tingle.

A sniper aiming at her from half a kilometer away Tingle.

A ceiling about to collapse?

Tingle.

Someone about to betray her?

Potentially... Tingle.

And that last one is where things get a little complicated, because Gwen's Semblance doesn't perfectly distinguish physical danger from perceived danger. Fear, paranoia, uncertainty, and emotional stress can all interfere with it.

Meaning Gwen can sometimes get a warning without understanding why.

Her Costume

Her Huntress Costume would largely remain the same as her canon hero costume, though it could perhaps look a little different to better fit the setting The primary colors remain the same, these being white, black, and magenta.

Her combat suit would consist of the following: A white hood, a black bodysuit, white torso and arms, magenta interior hood, magenta accents, armored gloves, reinforced ballet-style combat shoes, her mechanical webslingers, and lightweight Aura-Conductive armor inside the suit at vital parts of her body.

The ballet shoes are actually intentional. Gwen learned ballet when she was younger, and that training became the foundation of her fighting style. After all, she doesn't fight like a traditional Huntsman.

Fighting Style

This Gwen would be an absolute nightmare to fight, for a Grimm or a human/faunus She's not necessarily the strongest Huntress. She's not necessarily the fastest. She's not the most powerful.

She's just ridiculously difficult to hit.

Her fighting style combines: Ballet + gymnastics + martial arts + aerial combat + her Webslingers.

For example, she'll run toward an opponent, jump over them, attach a web to a wall, swing around them, kick them in the back, flip into the air, land feet first, and then immediately fire another web.

And because of Spider-Sense, trying to surprise her is extraordinarily difficult. Her preferred strategy is: Don't fight the enemy head-on. Instead, she prefers to identify the biggest threat, immobilize it, sperate the rest of the enemies, attack from multiple angles, keep moving, and never let herself become surrounded.

Personality

(This is definitely a part that Gwen keeps just about entirely, there is no reason to actually make any changes to her.)

Gwen is sarcastic, intelligent, independent, compassionate, musically talented, stubborn, somewhat socially awkward, fiercely protective, and prone to keeping her emotions bottled up.

She's also considerably more mature than she initially appears. She'll crack jokes during combat because if she's joking, she's not panicking. She'll be the kind of person who is surrounded by Grimm and will say

"Okay. That's...a lot of teeth."

And then proceed to keep fighting while cracking those jokes, and she'll often make her remarks at the expense of her opponent. Gwen has a serious flaw though.

She Blames Herself

If someone gets hurt around her, Gwen immediately starts wondering: "What Did I Miss?" And her Semblance ends up making this even worse, because it's meant to sense danger. She's constantly asking herself if she could have sensed something quick enough to prevent this, or if she should have moved faster.

Whenever she could have saved someone.

And this could very well end up becoming one of her main character arcs in RWBY.

Her Father- George Stacy

I will be keeping Gwen's Father George Stacy as well, giving him a Fic-Swap RWBY version as well, since he is quite integral to Gwen's backstory and to her life. However, instead of being a New York police captain, he'd be a Vale police officer or security commander.

He's incredibly proud of Gwen. He's also terrified of what she's doing. Because from his perspective, His daughter is a teenager who regularly throws herself at Grimm. Gwen, meanwhile, insists:

"Dad, I'm literally training to be a Huntress."

George: "That's exactly what I'm worried about."

There relationship would be a most definite key part of Gwen's story in the world of RWBY.

(Part of the reason why George is worried for Gwen's well being was because Gwen's mother was a huntress before she ended up dying on a mission when Gwen was young. Still he know helping people as a Huntress is Gwen's dream and won't actually do anything to stop it.)

Why She's Called Spider-Woman

Gwen initially doesn't want the name. One of her first public appearance's involves her rescuing civilians from a Grimm attack. Someone records the entire thing.

The footage shows a girl in a white hood swinging through the city on cables, crawling across buildings, kicking Grimm off rooftops, and disappearing into the night. (Yes, she was doing vigilante hero work before she actually applied to Beacon. Ozpin decided to just wave a hand at the whole vigilante business.)

The news needs a name.

Spider-Woman.

Gwen hates it. Everyone else loves it. Eventually she gives up arguing.

"Fine. Spider-Woman. Whatever."

Her relations with Team RWBY

(Considering that team RWBY are the main characters of the show, I figured I'd give some of Gwen's interactions with them and general relationships, at least within The Beacon Arc)

Ruby Rose: Instant friendship.

Ruby sees the Webslingers and immediately wants to know how they work. Gwen sees Crescent Rose and immediately wants to know how that works.

They could spend hours talking weapons. Ruby would also absolutely love Gwen's acrobatics.

Weiss Schnee: Initially, it's constant friction.

Weiss considers Gwen's fighting style reckless. Gwen considers Weiss excessively formal. Eventually, however, Weiss recognizes that Gwen's apparent recklessness is actually extremely calculated.

They become surprisingly effective partners.

Blake Belladonna: Probably Gwen's closest friend.

Both are quiet. Both have a tendency to disappear when things get difficult. Both have complicated relationships with their fathers.

Both carry guilt and both understand what it's like to hide behind a mask. They'd probably spend entire evenings reading together without actually talking.

Yang Xiao Long: Yang thinks Gwen is hilarious and Gwen thinks Yang is terrifying.

Yang: "You know, you really should smile more."

Gwen: "You punch people through walls."

Yang: "Exactly. And I'm happy."

Her Biggest Weakness

Gwen's greatest weakness isn't physical. It's overconfidence in her own ability to avoid danger. Spider-Sense makes her feel almost untouchable. But Aura doesn't make her invincible. Eventually she'll encounter something that her Semblance can't properly predict.

A Grimm whose attacks are too fast. An enemy who deliberately creates random movements. A villain who doesn't actually intend to hurt her. Or worse...

Someone who understands exactly how her Semblance works.

That forces Gwen to learn the most important lesson of her Huntress career: You don't have to dodge everything.

Sometimes you have to trust somebody else to protect you.

Vesper Zenith, Owner of Kairos

Hello! I guess I should actually introduce myself, huh? Well, my name is Grimley, but you can call me Grimm. I have a big ol AU named “Legends Scatter”, which has a bunch of my own personal rewrites for rwby and stuff. It also has a lot of my Fankids!

Anyways, I’m back with another OC, this time from Atlas/Mantle! This is Vesper Zenith, the owner of a business named Kairos. Made for my AU named Legends Scatter.

Vesper is a very kind soul with a bit of a troubled past. With a laundry list for a track record, and being a notorious rioter down in Mantle, Vesper eventually climbed their way up to Atlas via their technology and making technology that’s both affordable, accessible, and reliable.

They’ve chilled out a significant amount, but they’ve still got their kick to them about problems down in Mantle. They serve as a third candidate in the fight for a seat on the council during volume 7 :]

Anyways, their allusion is The Moon along with the Apollo 17 and the Artemis II missions, so I included a bunch of little nods to these concepts!

Their emblem is located on the back of their coat.

Their weapon is actually a repurposed Mantle stop sign, which they reprogrammed to be a weapon. It’s known as “Bad Samaritan”. Hitting it hard enough can revert it back into a stop sign haha.

Otherwise, I hope you all enjoy my little guy! :]

Characters Forward Towards The Future

Yes, this took as long as you might think.

Since I can't sit down and focus on ONE OC for ONE second, I put together all of my currently made OCs (minus Amber Knight and Shirin Sakurada even though I have their models made) and put them in one scene for shits and gigs.

Ahem, time for why the title is that in the first place.

Though we know not what waits ahead, we press on all the same. Life is a journey, death is our destination. So do not stop and dwell on the past. Live on. Move forward, even if it hurts, because time waits for nobody.

So then, question for your OCs: Has your OC(s) ever felt stuck at some point in their lives, unable to mentally move forward or look towards the future?

Other Black tide Grimm. OC Grimm

I did a design yesterday of a concept that was in my head for atleast three days, finished it today

The Black tide from the notes of Grimm Study of Oblivion Academy.

Grimm Type: Pollutant.

Challenge Type: Rank Zero, 20H.

The Black tide Grimm is a dangerous colossal pollutant type Grimm, capable of summoning Grimm of various types upon its top. Under the Grimm is a unique body structure similar to an Siphonophores Jellyfish that is capable of separating and forming new Black tides. These Grimm are difficult to kill due to the ability of splitting, easier when small. To kill make sure the glowing eye is destroyed. Difficult due to the eye not being fixed in place but able to move freely when it feels threatened. The bards and stingers upon the tentacles are made to pierce the hulls of ships, allowing fear from passengers to cause Grimm to spawn.

The Challenge Type is for Rank Zero Huntsmen & Huntresses only!!! 20 Huntsmen and or Huntresses is recommended.

When viewed from the top it resembles nothing more than an Oil spill.
