Draconeelans here with another story everyone! My mind just won't stop thinking of new things, won't even let me work on my other stories. Ah well, I'm sure I'll think of something eventually.
Anyway, I recently finished volume 1 of RWBY and I gotta say, I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to write a fanfic with an OC of mine thrown in. I still plan on having the other teams make an appearance, so you all don't have to worry about that.
This is going to be a crossover with the Gods Eater Burst game. I read a fanfic a short while ago by AncientSpiritKnight. It hasn't been updated in quite some time, so I decided to write one that was kind of my own version. I will say that the inspiration for this story came from reading AncientSpiritKnight's first chapter, which was more of a history type thing than an actual first chapter.
As with all my stories; I DO NOT own anything from the RWBY or Gods Eater Burst series, those rights belong to their respective owners/creators. I only own my OC.
What follows is a short prologue for my story, followed by a bio for my OC (who is basically my Protagonist from the GEB game).
To AncientSpiritKnight or anyone who might know him/her: I apologize if my prologue sounds a lot like yours. I tried my best to make it original, but I'm only so creative. Your prologue was what inspired me to write my own version of the RWBY and Gods Eater Burst crossover, I can only hope I do well.
Many years ago, on the outer edges of the four kingdoms, numerous beasts prowled the land. If you found yourself within those regions, danger was everywhere you looked. Many at first, thought that these beasts were the creatures of darkness, the creatures of Grimm.
But they were wrong.
These creatures were not cloaked in shadow like the Grimm. Rather, they were of certain color patterns, unique to most of them. Several teams of Hunters and Huntresses went to find out what exactly these creatures were, and if possible, slay them. The results were tragic, to say the least. Many teams were killed and eaten by the beasts. Only a small group of Hunters managed to get back alive, though with injuries that were almost too horrible to describe. Most of the survivors were severely traumatized by the bloody fight.
Those amongst the survivors that could, reported back to their superiors, who in turn were horrified about the reports they had received. While the beasts could be injured, they couldn't be killed by Dust, the very source of power and magic that had proven so effective on the Grimm. The beasts could also regenerate any wound inflicted upon them. Though this process took time, it was still a fact that further terrified the Hunters.
In order to protect themselves, a huge barrier was constructed around the inner regions of the four kingdoms, closing it off from the outer areas. The citizens were not told anything about these beasts, in order to prevent a panic from occurring. The government that made these decisions hoped that the barrier would last for a long while, while a method to combat these beasts was developed. During that time, a name was given to these creatures, a name that was very fitting: the Aragami, which translated to 'malicious' or 'vicious god'.
While the barrier kept the Aragami at bay, researchers and military personnel were hard at work creating a weapon that could deal with the Aragami, while they also dealt with the Grimm, which were returning, stronger than ever. Something that had been discovered, was that while the Aragami would eat, or devour, almost anything, be it organic, mineral, or synthetic, they pretty much ignored the Grimm.
To help further their attempts, the military decided to capture an Aragami, dead or alive, so the researchers can study its biology and develop a weapon to counter the Aragami defense. It was an extremely dangerous mission, and many Hunters and Huntresses lost their lives trying to get an Aragami, all for the sake of developing a weapon that could finally kill the creatures. After a long struggle, they managed to kill one Aragami, though it took an exorbitant amount of Dust and bullets to finally take it down effectively.
The Aragami in question was two-legged, with no arms, a large, flat tail that somewhat resembled the head of an ogre, and an armored head with plating that resembled large fangs. This one was given the name 'Ogretail'. By experimenting with its body, they were able to find out how it was made and how to counter it. However, in order to counter it, they had to inject the beast's cells into a willing human.
These cells were eventually called Oracle Cells. Due to the unique nature of the cells, and how hard it was to bring down the Ogretail, the researchers came to the conclusion that all Aragami were composed of the same Oracle Cells. Though it seemed like a farfetched idea, many of the researchers agreed.
Once the procedure to inject the Oracle Cells into a human began, a weapon was designed of certain materials and then coated with Oracle Cells. After both the procedure and development, they brought the subject in for a test run. Everything seemed to go smoothly, until the subject began screaming in pain. A dark mist began coating his arm, followed by a rapid mutation. It continued until he transformed into an Aragami. Luckily, the Oracle Cells comprising this Aragami had yet to fully bond, allowing it to be killed quickly and easily.
Scientists and researchers both speculated that the Oracle Cells had already begun to spread, a process they called 'devouring', due to the instinctual nature they discovered in the Cells themselves. When the subject picked up the Oracle coated weapon, the process accelerated. To stop the same mistakes from happening, the researchers delved deeper into the study of the Cells. What they found was something they called the Bias Factor, a natural factor that would prevent the Aragami from devouring it's own kind. By utilizing this new factor, they crafted an armlet that would inject the Bias Factor into those that had the Oracle Cells injected in them. This would keep the Oracle Cells in the person's body under control, and allow them to control the weapon, which would later be given the moniker: God Arc.
Another test was performed on a volunteer Hunter, and this time, the test was successful. It was later discovered though, and the scientists consider everyone a part of the project to be lucky, that you had to be a direct match to the God Arc. If your DNA wasn't a match, then the Oracle Cells of the God Arc would 'agitate' the Cells in the person's body, overpowering the Bias Factor, and ultimately turning that person into an Aragami. The people who were able to successfully use the God Arcs, were given the title of God Eater, due to a function of the Arcs where they could devour the Aragami, killing it for good.
Numerous God Arcs were developed, all based around two types: Gun and Sword. The three main gun types were Sniper, Assault, and Blast. The three main swords were Short blade, Long blade, and Buster blade. The Sword Arcs had a shield equipped to them, ranging from three types: Buckler, Standard, and Tower.
Another type of God Arc was developed, but matches for these specific Arcs were extremely rare. These were known as New-type God Arcs. These weapons were able to shift between a sword and gun, as well as use a shield, allowing them to perform feats the 'Old-type' Arcs (only gun, or only sword) could never perform.
During the final testing and beginning recruitment stages, reports of attacks by vicious beasts were starting to occur along the wall. The scientists and military personnel knew what that meant, the wall had finally been breached. Sending the few God Eaters they had, alongside a large group of Hunters, the military began a counterattack, while the researchers looked for ways to strengthen the wall, to help keep the innocent safe.
The God Eaters proved successful, taking down the Aragami far faster than the Hunters ever could. Many people feared the God Eaters, since their skills were far above human or Hunter. But after hearing everything, as the government decided to come clean, they placed their hope in the God Eaters.
The wall was eventually strengthened with Bias Factor, which acted like a repellant of sorts to the Aragami. That didn't mean that the inner regions were safe however. The Aragami were still able to get through, and the Grimm proved to be a rising threat as well. Due to this, both Hunters and God Eaters worked together at several points, and new recruits for both sides came every day. People wanting to combat the threat posed by these two creatures of destruction.
Now, a young man is starting his career as a Hunter-in-training, and it's about to take a turn; for better or worse, only he can decide.

Special Notes:
Drake lost his family due to an Aragami attack when he was 5. The Aragami responsible was unidentified at the time. He ended up at an orphanage in Vale, where he was adopted by Yang and Ruby's family a year later. After unlocking/discovering his Aura and Semblance when he was 10, he eventually decided on becoming a Huntsman.
He attended Signal Academy alongside Yang, and eventually Ruby, and was eventually accepted into Beacon. He never forged his own weapon, having decided to utilize a special tattoo to control his Aura and Semblance.
While attending Signal, he befriended another aspiring Huntress who also lost everything because of the Aragami. This huntress-in-training was Alisa Illinichina Amiella. Unlike his tragedy, the Aragami responsible for hers was known. A powerful Vajra-type known as the Dyaus Pita. Alisa had made it her goal that, if she was one of the lucky few to be chosen as a Gods Eater, she would hunt down that very Aragami, and kill it.
After hearing her goal, Drake decided he would do the same, wanting to avenge his own family. Until such a time however, the two of them decided to work on becoming Hunters, so that they could help protect those who couldn't protect themselves.
Drake also has a catchphrase that he says to those who fight alongside him, and for those who would give up. He remembered hearing it from his father, shortly before he died. "Don't run away from living." It was something that has kept him going, and he hoped to inspire others to do the same.
Now, after being accepted into Beacon, Drake is about to embark on an adventure he has only dreamed of. Working alongside fellow huntsman and huntresses-in-training, he is ready to take his first step... as a Gods Eater.
And that's all for now! If I missed anything, I'll try and explain more later on in the story. Something I do want to point out: Almost every Aragami from the Gods Eater Burst game will be already known, only a few (mostly the DLC) will remain unknown, until they're encountered. I haven't played the Gods Eater 2 game yet (Mostly because I'm still waiting for it to come to the US) so don't expect any Aragami from that game to be featured in my story.
Please let me know what you think! In other words, please read and review! NO flames please!
