GREETINGS, RWBY FANS! This is my first fanfiction in a very long time, and I'm glad that a RWBY fic is the first.
DISCLAIMER, SON: I do not own RWBY or its content. I only own the characters and the story that you have decided to read. RWBY belongs in the hands of Monty Oum (RIP), Kerry Shawcross, Miles Luna, and Rooster Teeth.
*Ahem* This is Headmaster Rime, introducing the first of many character/team profiles of the many members of Kastle Academy. Today, we're going to take a look at:
Team GDTR (Godtier), the graduates turned teachers of Kastle Academy.
Its members consist of:
Gio and Dia, the excavators of Heaven and Hell, as they're called. Twins raised by a renowned family of archaeologists and geologists, cold and calculating Giovanni and Dianna Hawkins split into different interests. Gio prefered getting his hands dirty, going out of his way at a young age to pick and brush away the rock and dust to find priceless fossils and occasionally an antique or two. Dia, on the other hand, wasn't into "times and topics long overdone" as she put it, and simply enjoyed the sight of crystals and gems of all kinds, raw and just recently mined, or polished so perfectly it shined best at any angle. There was, however, one thing they had in common. While they made names of themselves in their respective businesses, Heaven and Hell arose from their skill in fighting Grimm. They graduated from Kastle years ago, receiving awards for outstanding performance on the field, and now teach the next generations in classes to achieve the same. Their weapons, Gio's trusty crossbow/shovel, Grave Robber, and Dia's dust-fueled chakram, Crystal Waves, devastate the battlefield.
Next is Tania Madeleine, the older sister to Tiler Madeleine. Graduating on the same team as Gio and Dia, Tania likes to believe that she acts like they do, when really, she's just good at keeping her emotions in check when she needs to. She's a really cheerful person, and loves getting close to people, whether it means being someone's friend, or having them stare down the barrel of her shotgun tonfa, Goddess' Smite. Trust me when we say it hurts. A lot. Her good friend Rein tends to make sure she softens the blow at least a little bit. Hopefully that's the case. After graduating, Tania spent some time working missions for the Grimm Investigation Forces (GIF) before turning to teaching, though ready to move at a moment's notice.
Finally we have Rein Alenko, a close friend of the Madeleines. A quiet man, he isn't one for opening up about personal stuff and whatnot, not because he's got some dark twisted past, but he really just doesn't talk much. He and Tania became friends as teenagers as they both entered Kastle and joined Gio and Dia through the years. Miraculously, Rein is able to calm down Tania whenever she gets too excited, much to the twins' relief. Other than her brother Tiler, Rein's the only person who has been able to do so. Rein's razor-sharp threads, which he dubbed Bloody Orchestra, eliminates or incapacitates any target without noise or warning. According to his reports from teachers, he wasn't much for studying in class, though his grades remained remarkably high. Could it be that he's a genius…? Or is he just that lucky…?
Regardless, these four brilliant students have taken their positions as teachers at Kastle Academy: Giovanni teaches Geography and History of Remnant, though no one really enjoys those. If it were up to me, I'd have the classes removed entirely, but the laws have powers. Dianna stubbornly refers teaching as "Enlightening," but really, she teaches Geology and History's Use of Dust. Tania takes care of our Strategy and Recon classes, making use of her time in the GIF, while Rein is in charge of the physical training, meaning hand-to-hand, weapons both melee as well as ranged, using Dust in combat, and self-defense.
Though teaching isn't the only thing that brought the team back. Something's coming to Kastle. I know it. They know it. We can only hope but prepare these students for the worst.
Uh… *ahem* excuse me, I got distracted. This concludes the Team GDTR character profiles. Next will be Team SRRU, aka Team Starstruck.
There might be a little homage bonus chapter to Monty somewhere in the future, but again, please enjoy.
