Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY.

This is an SYOC. Looking for lots of main characters along with my own. Also accepting submissions for professors and/or a Head-Master figure. Side characters are also well appreciated. I'll put the form on my profile.

First of all, let's discuss where this story takes place in the RWBY timeline.

So, none of the main protagonist of RWBY will be appearing in the story (sorry). Although, some Professors and/or the Head-Master may appear in this story (If I don't get any submissions for teachers and a headmaster of course.

It'd be nice if you showed this story a lot of support, it really helps.

Also, I'll be taking a lot of the OCs by PM. If you feel like putting your character in the reviews, go ahead. But it does pose a chance of getting deleted or it might pass by my eyes.

If you have any questions, leave a review or PM about it and I'll be sure to answer it for you personally.

Chapter 1: Beacon

I slipped on my clothes.

Dark grey jeans, gold colored t-shirt that matched my eyes, white pullover hoodie, black high-top converse.

Pulling black gloves over my hands, the one on the right being fingerless while the left covered my hands completely. I grabbed my weapon from my desk. Collapsed, it looked like a short pole, being a foot long and 2 inches wide. In it's collapsed form, it looks like a regular metal pole, just with a few lines in it. I'll save the explanation for later.

It clicked onto the magnetic clip I had on the back of my belt.

I prepared to walk out of the door, turning around, only to remember that there was no longer anyone to say goodbye to. I turned back towards the door and left. I raced towards the edge of the city, where the Bullhead was waiting. At 17 years old, I've made it into Beacon. I'll finish my studies and become a full-fledged Hunter.

I gave the guard waiting outside of the Bullhead my ticket that was mailed to my door. The guard nodded at me and I was aboard. I quickly found a seat near the back of the Bullhead, back, meaning closer to the pilot, farther from the exit.

The seat wasn't exactly comfortable, but I wasn't one to be picky. I closed my eyes, hoping for a bit of rest before orientation.

Of course, Monty wouldn't give me that peace.

"Hey! Akita! Is that you!?"

Oh crap, don't tell me...

I opened my eyes to see huge pink eyes staring back at me.

"Sarah. Hi there." I said awkwardly.

"Yep. Who knew we'd end up at Beacon together? It's been a while." She ruffled my black hair, messing it up, knowing I wouldn't care. My hair reached just past my eyes and often covered them. Although my hair was cut neatly, I always leave my bangs long enough to cover my eyes, I don't know why.

"Yeah. 4 years is a pretty long time."

Sarah, my friend from middle school, we were really good friends until I had to move, since my parents died. In high school, or, combat school. We lived on complete opposite sides of the city. I didn't go to traditional combat school.

Since my father was a high ranking general in the Vale Army, I was sent outside the walls for first-hand experience, going out there for 3 days every week before going back to the military base. The outside world is a living hell. Not only Grimm, but humans and faunus would attack. The ones living outside the walls were complete savages. Doing whatever they could to get their hands on food and supplies.

"Um, Akita? You're zoning out."

"Oh, sorry. What were you saying?"

"Well, we just landed, for one. We don't wanna be late for orientation."

"Alright, alright, just let me grab my bag. I'll be there soon."

"Ok, I'm going on ahead."


"And that will be all." The professor finished.

We all headed to the auditorium that we were all going to sleep in until we complete the exam tomorrow, then we'll be assigned a dorm, and a team.

I've never been able to work very well with other people.

This is going to be a difficult year, and possibly 4 years.

But it'll all be worth it, I'll become a hunter and protect those in need.

Starting with the outlands...


I open my eyes, finding myself in a familiar scene. It was my old house.

I was a foot shorter than I was in the present. My mother approached me, crouching down to talk to me. I'm only 4'9" for some reason.

Is this a flashback?

"Honey, what's wrong? You're just staring into space."

"Oh, sorry Mom. It was nothing." I reply, suspicious of my own intentions.

Maybe this isn't a flashback, maybe everything that happened was just a dream. Yeah. I'm only 9 years old and I have my mom and dad with me. My sister didn't die in a grimm attack, everything is fine.

"You seem troubled. Do you want to take the day off of school today?"

I shook my head, "No, I want to go to school."

"Alright then. Off you go my little huntsman." She patted me on the back, gesturing me towards the bus waiting for me.

The scene shifted, I was coming back home after school. What a short day. I was in the back seat of the car with my sister Himeko. But suddenly...

*Screeech*

*Dink*

*Beeeeeeeeeeeeep*

The car swerved to the right, my dad was unconscious, slumped against the wheel, my mom was panicking. My sister was trying to stay upright as the car spun out and finally collided with a street lamp. Unfortunately, the engine couldn't handle the impact.

*BOOM*

Next thing I knew, I woke up in the hospital with my sister crying beside me.

Mom and Dad are gone, and they're never coming back.


That'll be it for the prologue. I'm looking forward to all of your submissions, and I'll see you later!
