I know only the basic story of Far Cry 5, but strike me down if I didn't get this idea outta my head. Enjoy this (possible change in future) one-shot of a Seed in Remnant. Beware for some OOC from Joseph, as I tried my best to get his personality down.

I do not own either RWBY or Far Cry 5, or any of their characters. This is simply throwing the two together and hoping for amusement.

Joseph Seed, one name in Hope County that would either be praised or shunned. He was the Father, he was a bastard. Whatever your view of the man, he was one charismatic fella. His family, the Seeds, all followed and helped with their brother's beliefs in their own ways. John as a lawyer and baptist, buying land for more Bliss and bunker building and indoctrinating new members while punishing the sinners. Jacob as their protector, creating warriors and soldiers through harsh brainwashing. Then there was Faith, who supplied the family and their fanatical cult Bliss.

Bliss. Such a simple name, one that sums up the drug quickly as well. It gives powerful hallucinations to those who use it, though if one were to overdose... they'd join the Angels. Bliss was used in one way or another by the family, John during his baptisms, Jacob used it to train his wolves while Faith uses it to communicate with the cultists and to, put simply, screw with people. Now, their family and cult grew within Hope County, but it did not go unnoticed. The locals grew worried and soon a few deputies appeared to arrest the Father, soon everything went to hell.

The Project at Eden's Gate was cut down, the Seed family slaughtered and towns were freed. Only Joseph remained, and even then, he wasn't alone. The Deputy, the one who first came for the man, appeared to finish the bloodline. They fought against their own friends, who the Father had in his control with the power of Bliss for a time, freed them and almost finished Joseph... if not for the nuclear attack.

Explosions, death and destruction everywhere as the Deputy and their allies and Joseph raced towards the closest Bunker. Then one distraction sent the truck tumbling, flipping over as flames licked at the air itself. It was there that fate was changed for two of the vehicle's trapped passengers, for only one would live. The Father watched as the world around him grew to a blinding white, engulfing him peacefully.


Birds were the first thing Joseph heard, as their beautiful song raised him from his slumber. He groaned and opened his eyes slowly, sitting up and rubbing his head. He felt his face, finding no injuries from the fight not even ten minutes ago. The Father got to his feet hesitantly, looking around the green forest with interest. He was dressed in his white, buttoned shirt and vest, with a pair of black pants that are held up by a thick belt with an empty holster on his right thigh. His other hand nudged something, a copy of the holy text that the Project at Eden's Gate used, with its unique cross symbol emblazoned upon its face.

"This... is this Eden's Gate?" He wondered aloud, his voice calm. The Father looked around as he held the text under his right arm, deciding this place would be dangerous at night. Joseph started towards the sounds of water, his yellow sunglasses glinting in the sun. He heard the faint sounds of explosions, stopping him for a moment. His gaze turned to the sky as the sound of screaming grew louder. Suddenly a body flew over his head, only to be flung to the side and disappear into another part of the forest. Joseph changed directions and walked towards the deeper brush, now very curious about the flying body.

He soon found himself next to the massive trunk of an ancient oak, when he stood to take in the peace that may or may not be Eden's gate. Joseph heard a struggle nearby, with grunts of effort. He turned and looked around, then upwards. Above him, hanging from a red and golden spear, was a boy. He couldn't have been not much older than eighteen from a glance, or even younger, but what caught the Father's eye was the white armour over the boy's upper body and shoulders. Besides that, the teen wore a black hoodie, brown gloves and blue jeans. The blond boy was trying to free himself from the spear, but soon gave up and looked down. The Father and the boy locked eyes, causing the blond teen to grin slightly.

"Hey." He greeted, with a small wave. Joseph thought for a moment before answering, because his eyes drifted over the sheath on the boy's hip, one for a sword.

"Hello." Joseph said in return looking up at the boy, both staring back at one another.

"So, uh. Can you help me down?" The blond teen asked, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. "I'm sorta stuck here, because of, you know?" He gestured to the spear, the Father blinked and shook his head.

"That looks like it's lodged too deep, my friend, and too high to climb." Joseph responded calmly, looking up at the boy. "I would help you, but I am afraid that I cannot." He said with slight regret, it was wrong to not attempt to save those who were doomed. Then a voice behind him spoke up.

"Maybe I can." Joseph turned and found a red hair girl behind him, arms crossed over her chest. Strangely, the girl also wore armour, consisting of a chestplate, a single gauntlet and leggings that were all made of bronze. Besides that, the girl also wore a short skirt with a red sash wrapped around her waist, a piece of armour covering her throat and a crown on her brow. Her eyes were a brilliant green, shining with amusement and curiosity. The Father remained silent and stepped aside for the girl, very much interested in seeing how this girl would get the boy down. To his surprise, she casually jumped up to the spear and yanked it out. Then she dropped to the ground to catch the blond teen, who smiled in thanks.

"Thanks Pyrrha." He said and got to his feet, rubbing his arm. So that was the girl's name, Pyrrha. Joseph looked at the girl, finding her looking back at him.

"Well done, the grace of God is with you." He said in a humbled voice, getting a raised eyebrow and small smile in return.

"Why thank you. I'm Pyrrha." She said and extended a hand, the Father took it and shook firmly.

"Joseph Seed, Father of the Project at Eden's Gate." Joseph introduced himself, proud and calm. Pyrrha blinked in confusion.

"Project at Eden's Gate? I've never heard of it, what is it?" That question brought a warm smile to Joseph's face, he grabbed his book and looked at it in his hands.

"It was a family, my family." He said softly, looking up at Pyrrha over his glasses. "But it was torn apart, by those who failed to see what was coming, what would become of them." He stated, voice ever calm. Then he looked to the sky, arms out wide. "But now, The Project lives, as God said it would." Joseph looked back at Pyrrha, who looked baffled, then he looked at the blond teen who had the same expression.

"I, um, I'm Jaune Arc." The boy introduced, nervously laughing. The Father put out his hand for the boy to shake, which Jaune took and shook. The Father felt something when he grasped the teen's hand, like a sadness and regret that weighed him down. He was about to ask about it when Pyrrha interrupted.

"We got company." She stated and pulled her spear from her hip, raising it and her shield. Jaune moved next to her and drew his own sword, then expanded his sheath into a shield. They looked at Joseph who remained unarmed except for his holy text, the man of faith had no weapons that they could see.

"Where's your weapon?" Pyrrha asked quickly, her attention returned to the sounds of growling that suddenly grew. The Father merely shook his head.

"I was not given one, as the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh, I was given life but my weapon taken by him. This is a test!" He suddenly exclaimed, extending his arms out towards the red eyes that stared at them from the surrounding bush. "This is a test from God, to see if I am truely worthy of his open arms!" He stated as a black beast emerged from the bush before his eyes, its face covered by a white mask with red eyes glaring at him. More appeared, though mostly around the pair of teens, only one targeted the Father.

"Joseph! Get over here, or run!" Pyrrha shouted as one of the beasts roared and charged at her, paw flying at her. Yet the Father remained rooted, his arms open towards the lone wolf in front of him. Joseph's breathing was slow, he awaited the Lord's judgment with dignity.

"No, I must serve God's will, for we must prove that we serve him no matter what he asks." Now the Father took a step towards the beast, whose red eyes held a spark of fear all of a sudden. Behind him, the sounds of grunts, screams and clashing of steel, before him, silence. His eyes meeting those of red, of anger and fear itself. The beast yelped and scrambled back, away from the hands that were only inches away. He exhaled heavily, looking at the cross that hung from his right hand. "Thank you, Lord." Joseph whispered and turned around, watching as Jaune and Pyrrha cut down the last of the beasts.

"That's the last of them, for now." Pyrrha said to the blond next to her, then she remembered Joseph and spun around. "Jo- huh." She blinked as she looked over to the suited man, finding him unharmed and staring back from behind his yellow glasses. The Father raised his book to the sky, smiling softly.

"God will not let them take me." Joseph said with confidence, getting a strange look from the red haired girl. The three soon picked a direction and started walking, with the two huntsmen in training on the lookout.

"So, Joseph, which academy did you come from?" Pyrrha asked with a sideways glance, spotting the confused look on the man's face.

"Academy? I didn't go to an academy, I did go to many schools though. It was... a difficult time for me and my brothers." The Father said quietly, looking at his book. Pyrrha's eyes softened and she looked forwards, pushing a branch out of her way. Suddenly there was a yelp behind her and she spun around, finding Jaune on the ground with a bloody line on his cheek.

"Jaune! I'm sorry!" Pyrrha said, catching Joseph's eye as she knelt next to Jaune, finding disappointment behind his yellow shades. The blond teen grinned at the red haired girl and laughed.

"It's okay, it's just a scratch." Jaune stated as he got to his feet, suddenly finding Pyrrha in his face.

"Why didn't you activate your Aura?" Pyrrha asked and Jaune blinked, as well as the Father behind him.

"Huh?" He asked, puzzled.

"Your Aura." Pyrrha repeated.

"Gesundheit." Jaune responded, Pyrrha stepped back and raised an eyebrow, noticing how both of the males seemed confused.

"Jaune, do you know what Aura is?" She asked first, getting a nervous laugh in response.

"Of course I do, do you know what Aura is?" He retorted, Pyrrha smiled at him then looked at Joseph.

"What about you Joseph, do you know what Aura is?" She questioned and the man shook his head, so the red haired girl got ready to explain. She spoke of how Aura was a manifestation of the soul, how it shielded them and how it carried burdens. Aura could apparently be used like a shield with training.

"What about monsters?" Jaune asked, but Pyrrha shook her head. Going on and explaining how the monsters they had fought have no soul, calling them Grimm and how the beasts were the darkness and they were the light. This confused the Father slightly, but he understood that animals this wild would not be able to be reasoned with. Jaune excitedly put his two cents in again. "Right, that's why we fight them!" But Pyrrha shook her head, once againing going on about understanding dark and light to use Aura. She spoke of how everyone had a bit of both, that hit Joseph personally, as he was one of God's Chosen, and he would never have sinners walk to Eden's Gate. After a bit more explanation of Aura and Jaune's imput, Pyrrha smiled at Jaune.

"Now, close your eyes and concentrate." She said and placed a hand against the side of his head, the boy seemed extremely confused but did so.

"Uh... okay." With that, the girl and boy had suddenly burst with light, Pyrrha red and Jaune a bright white. The Father gripped his book harder as he watched with wide eyes, he took a step forwards when the red haired girl stumbled back from Jaune.

"Pyrrha?" He asked, body outlined with the white light. The girl raised a hand, tiredly standing up.

"It's alright, I used my Aura to unlock yours. But the energy that protects you is your own." She said with a warm smile, watching as the red scratch on Jaune's face disappear. Finally the boy stopped glowing as he looked at his hands, then he turned to Joseph.

"Do you have your Aura unlocked?" He asked with curiosity, the Father looked at his own hand and blinked.

"It is God's will that I serve, he has protected me as I have served him." He finally said, looking over the rim of his glasses at Jaune and Pyrrha. "So far, I have not needed this Aura. I don't need it now." He finished, eye contact unbroken with Pyrrha, Jaune chuckled awkwardly.

"Okay then." He muttered and looked up at the sky, frowning as he did. "We should get moving and find those relics." He said and Pyrrha nodded firmly, Joseph followed after the teens. Now wondering if this place that God had put him in, had also become home for his brothers and sister. Soon the trio found themselves outside of a rocky cave, one that was dark and ominous.

"It's gotta be in here." Jaune stated and fashioned a torch out of some wood, then lit it and looked at Pyrrha and Joseph. "Shall we?" He gestured to the cave, Pyrrha nodded while Joseph shook his head.

"I will make sure nothing comes from the forest." He answered the pair's silent question and watch them walk into the cave, the warm orange glow of Jaune's torch disappearing. The Father took the chance to breathe in the air, tasting the cleanliness in it. Then he slowly started to sing, quietly at first but growing louder.

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound. That saved a wretch, like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found. T'was blind but now, I see." He sang, accent flowing through his words. Something caused the ground to shake, stopping the Father's song. He turned slowly as footsteps grew louder from within the cave, it was Pyrrha, who quickly grabbed his arm and dragged him back. Joseph was too surprised to ask where Jaune was, but it was answered when the cave entrance grew in size within seconds as a massive black scorpion thundered into the light, with the blond teen hanging from its golden stinger.

"PYRRHA! HELP! PYRRHA, THIS IS NOT THE RELIC! IT'S NOT!" He cried in fear, dangling off the tail as the beast shook it wildly. Pyrrha raised her rifle, one that Joseph hadn't seen before, and quickly called back.

"Jaune, whatever you do, don't let-" But before she could say anymore, the scorpion flung its tail forwards and sent Jaune flying and screaming through the air. She finally finished with an embarrassed smile. "-go." Then she put her rifle on her back, took Joseph by the arm and sprinted after the flying blond boy. The Father started to sprint too, so that Pyrrha wouldn't trip if she was distracted by dragging the man. They heard the thunder behind them and pushed harder, the cross on Joseph's hand flying around as he pumped his arms. The Father never ran, but since this could possibly not be Eden's Gate, he'd prefer to live to see it.

Their sprinting paid off as they burst from the treeline and entered an open field, in the distance they spotted some ruins. That was their new target, running just a few metres before the scorpion behind them tore through the forest and roared. As they approached the small ruins, they saw the shapes of people forming from blurs. Lots of colours, distinctive even from a distance. Except for three, who wore darker and more dull colours. Unfortunately, from this distance, Joseph couldn't see any features. Suddenly Pyrrha flew past his ear, arching through the air towards the ruins, now the black scorpion had one target.

"God will not... let you take me!" Joseph stated as he ran, breathing heavily. If this was truely Eden's Gate, then God must be testing him for the final time. Yet when would the test end? The Father noticed a dark shape high in the sky, slowly approaching with stong flaps of dark wings. His attention was drawn back to the ground when someone shouted, immediately his eyes locked on the red blur flying at him. Joseph's perception seemed to slow to a snails pace, as he saw within the red the face of a young girl with silver eyes. She wore a determined look, though she looked past Joseph's shoulder. Then she gasped and was yanked off her feet, time flying back to normal.

The Father felt something inside him as the girl struggled to free herself from the strangely solid feather that had caught her cape, it was familiar. It was the instinct to protect his children, even if this girl wasn't one. So the Father slid to a stop and spun around, standing firm in front of the girl. The scorpion raised its stinger to pierce Joseph, who stood with open arms once more. Then something flew past him and froze the beast's tail mid thrust, his saviour was yet another young girl, this time with white hair and clothing.

"Ruby you are- wait, who are you?" The girl asked in a snobby tone, one that Joseph ignored.

"Joseph Seed." A look of recognition came over the girl, who narrowed her eyes.

"Seed, do you know a 'Faith' by any chance?" The Father's eyes widened with hope.

"She is here?" He asked and looked behind him, smiling softly as he saw what he could've only dreamed of. His Faith, standing next to his brothers John and Jacob, once again together. His sister waved and giggled, a noise that reached Joseph's ears by some miracle of God. John smiled warmly and did a 'come here' gesture, his sunglasses on his head per usual. Jacob merely nodded, his arms resting on an assault rifle. His family, here at Eden's Gate. He raised both hands to the heavens, book sliding from his grasp as he closed his eyes.

"Thank you God, we are ready." He spoke softly, feeling himself grow lighter. Soon even his blackened vison from his closed eyes was turned white. Finally, after losing his family countless times and serving God, they would reach Eden's Gate and be saved from the future that would crush the people of the world, be it the Earth or this one. Around him, hands of angels pulled him high, their skin flawless as they gently guided him towards Heaven. God was watching, and he had taken him finally. The last thing the Father heard before being welcomed into Heaven, was a wise voice of an old man.

"It is finished child."

Well I hope you all enjoyed this crossover that probably shouldn't have worked, but you know how humanity is. We just love to overcome challenges. So I'm not sure if I will do the perspectives of the other Seeds, depending on this one-shot the outcome will be revealed. Honestly, I'm pretty keen to do some more, but other stories call for attention. So unless this one catches the attention of a bunch of people, expect only one Seed in Remnant.

Review answers

-NewbieRead13, eh, what can I say. I write uniquely, most of the time.

-Raskor Devil Kell, good to know.

-Guest 1, I might make more, just thinking about it now.

-The Watcher, unfortunately, Eden's Gate has closed for the Seeds. Though their perspectives are still open, if that makes sense.

-Guest 2, Either you are referring to the start, in which God took Joseph and tossed him in Remnant, or you are talking about the end, in which God takes him from Remnant to heaven. Honestly, you could just say he was stabbed in the back by the beast and be done like that.

-Fizz, who knows, maybe I'll expand this further at a later time.

Anyhow, I've decided to make a second chapter, so look out for that. Thanks for reading.

Update: So I'm stuck for ideas, that means that don't have much inspiration to write anymore of this for the moment. Unfortunately that means either I leave this for the dust or update it in a few months after more inspiration. Sorry all.
