This is a fanfic, to introduce a RWBY OC I made. I'm going to do a one shot for each of the four members of the team to give you an idea of who they are when I continue to work with them on another fanfic. Each one shot is inspired by one of the the four RWBY trailers, but the characters are very different.

"I once heard that a world without villains, we would have no heroes. What would happen in a world without the Grimm?"

A swordsman investigated a crashed ship. An army of beowolves approched the lone swordsman. He wore brown pants, and a hooded green jacket, to camoflage himself in the trees. His undershirt was yellow, he wore silver kneepads and gold shoulder armor above his right arm. His eyes were filled with determination. His aura had a green glow, lighting his position.
He drew his weapon, Jaded Edge. The sword was a shortsword, and light enough to wield with one hand. Several serrated teeth near the bottom of the blade gave it a darker appearance. The handle was covered by faded white cloth, to allow for an easier grip on the sword. Jaded Edge's name and appearance reflected the grim personality of it's weilder: a twisted personality, transformed by his experiences.
A lone Beowolf charged first, only to be sliced in half with a single slash from the blade. More would come, but the swordsman slashed each one as they approached with precision. But for eavery Beowolf he slashed, two more charged. If this continued, he would soon be overrun.
A Beowolf leaped above the swordsman, as he was slicing another. The swordsman transformed his weapon into a crossbow, which he used to shoot down the Beowolf. Jaded Edge transformed back into sword form after firing, as it was unable to reload manually in crossbow form. He charged forward and slashed several Beowolves. However, the swordman was now surrounded, as several more Beowolves got behind him.
The swordsman changed strategy, returning the weapon to crossbow form. He changed his grip on the crossbow, now holding the string and part of the crossbow's barrel, where it's ammo was held. The crossbow mode was designed to also function similar short bow, however it maintained it's ability to automatically cycle ammo, allowing more shots without having to pull out more arrows.
The swordsman jumped into the trees and began firing at the individual Beowolves. While many tried to jump to reach him, he shot each of them down with remarkable speed. He fired a grapple hook to pull the last Beowolf towards him, and stabbed it's head with the blades on his crossbow, using it similarly to a pickaxe.
An Alpha Ursa knocked down the tree he stood on, forcing him to jump to the ground. He returned Jaded Edge to it's sword form. The Ursa swung it's claws at him. He held the blade of the the sword as he blocked the attack. The Ursa charged again, but the swordsman leaped backwards and vanished. The Ursa began searching for his scent.
The swordsman reappeared behind the Alpha. He held the sword with two hands, and thrusted it into the Ursa's back. He transformed Jaded Edge into it's crossbow form, and fired. The recoil from the shot forced the blade out of the Ursa, while doing some internal damage from the shot.
The swordsman sheathed his sword on his back. He jumped back into the trees and vanished.
