Hello everyone!

This is the first story I've ever posted, so please go easy on me!

I own nothing from RWBY. The only things I own are the ocs and their stuff.

Enjoy!

It Begins

Daien sat in a metal chair at a metal table waiting for Professor Ozpin. The room was lit from a single light hanging above the table, making it seem a lot like an interrogation. "Sorry to keep you waiting, business and all that." Ozpin said as he walked in and took his seat, setting down a Scroll that was playing back clips of Daien's activities that night. "It's fine." Daien said leaning forward in his chair. "I'm Professor Ozpin, but you already knew that, didn't you?" Ozpin said. "Yes, sir, I know who you are. I'm Daien, sir, it's nice to meet you." Daien said politely. "Please, drop the formalities Mr..." "Just Daien, sir." Daien clarified. "I see."

After a short pause Professor Ozpin got down to business, "I'm told you want to go to my school, is that true?" "Here we go." Daien thought. "Yes, sir." "Why?" "Because, sir, I've heard your school is the best." Daien said. "Well, Daien, I'm a Huntsman, so I'm used to being called by the police. But Imagine my surprise when VCPD calls and tells me that they have a young man in custody who single handedly apprehended twelve armed thieves. And that that same young man had asked for me by name." Ozpin said. "Why Should you be accepted to Beacon?" "I'm highly qualified, sir." Daien said. "Lots of people are." Ozpin replied.

"Sir, I was born and raised just outside the kingdom of Vacuo. we were just close enough so that we weren't wiped out, but far enough so that life was hard." Daien started tapping the table with his index, middle, and ring fingers like it was a musical instrument. "And ever since I can remember I've had to fight and watch people die." Tip, tap, tapidy, tap, tipidy, tap, "I made a promise that I would do everything I could to keep that from happening to anyone else." Professor Ozpin nodded a few times.

"Why don't we start over, and you tell me the truth." Ozpin said. Daien stopped tapping, "I'm sorry?" Daien asked looking confused. Professor Ozpin looked at him knowingly. Daien chuckled, "What gave me away?" Professor Ozpin motioned to Daien's hand, "Nervous tick?" Daien sighed, "Figured out my tell in no time flat, and I thought I was being clever." Shaking his head, Daien sat up in his chair.

"I'm gonna tell you the truth now, and it's gonna sound a lot like the lie because the best lies are half truth. I was born just outside of the kingdom of Vacuo in a small village. We were just close enough so that we weren't massacred but far enough so that people died." Daien started tapping again but this time used all five fingers on his right hand, "When I was little I idolized Huntsmen, they could walk through hell and not get burned. But one day, when the Huntsmen were away, the Grimm came for us."

"I ran, and they chased. And they gave me this." Daien lifted up his shirt the reveal a jagged set of scars that snaked their way from his left shoulder to his right hip that were obviously claw marks. "I want to become a Huntsman so that I can use the skills and talents I have spent years honing to save people from a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy." Daien lowered his shirt, "I want to be a Huntsman because even monsters need something to fear."

"Poetic" Professor Ozpin said simply. "Thank you." "You want to come to my school? Alright, but you'll have to pass the entrance exam." Professor Ozpin said. "Professor Ozpin, I will do whatever you want me to if I can go to Beacon Academy."

Aaaaand that's the first chapter! now before anyone starts thinking that I'm stuck up or something, Daien is a recurring character name in stuff I've done in the past.

favorite, follow, review and all that. I would really love some input!

Thanks!
