Prologue

-Completely new fan-base with characters I hardly know. This should turn out fine right.

Being honest ,however, I wanted this story to be different from the other Team STRQ watch RWBY fanfics. The ones I read either had too many characters to follow or what seemed to me to focus too much on the the actual video of RWBY more then the fact that there are characters reacting to these videos. I disliked how the characters forgot about the lyrics to the songs played and how each character was the same in each fanfic. Taiyang is loud and protective. Summer is quiet and shy. Qrow curses and Raven is a little distant and angry. These were of course just the ones I noticed as the recurring theme.

Now don't get me wrong I loved the fics. In fact I want to say thank you to those who wrote those fics for giving me such a wonderful time while reading them. It's just that it seems as though they were forgotten or just aren't updating for along time. Now I'm no one to judge but I was just a little disappointed at how none of the fics got into volume 2 of RWBY as far as I could see. Like the Creators themselves said. They were setting the stage in volume 1 and volume 2 is were it gets more interesting.

I was a little hesitant to write this considering how it has been done before and I like to use concepts and charaters that people know and expand them into something the fan-base wouldn't have expected from the characters. As most characters in the RWBY world are almost set in their personalities and backstory, I have decided to use the characters who are theorized probably the most in how they act around each other and their relationships to each other, Team STRQ. In my writing I like the things I write to have very cannon or possible cannon traits in the characters while the story is in a very impossible cannon or unlikely cannon to the original. Seeing how we don't know much about Team STRQ as a whole right now, it gives me a lot of free range to theorize what their personality is.

That being said this prologue was so that I could figure out how the team would react to each other in everyday 'normal' life before I throw them into a scary and extensional nightmare where they are bound to act differently. It is also supposed to show you what they act like and how they are different from the other versions in them.

My idea was that since Raven would have had to leave almost immediately after Yang's birth and quickly be replaced with Summer for Ruby to be born, Yang would remember a little bit of Summer while Ruby wouldn't remember much of anything except for photos and the stories that her family told her. Ruby wouldn't have the chance to model her personality to be like her mother's. She might retain the want to be a huntress and looks from her mother but I personalty think her personality would match more with Taiyang and especially Qrows' personality and they raised and mentored her.

I also like to think that Summer enjoyed fairytales much like Ruby and that they are what inspired her to be a hunter, and so she would be much like Blake in that way. I like to think of Qrow as the groups weapon enthusiast and that's where Ruby gets her love of weapons because of her being mentored by him for many years. Taiyang is still the party hound in my mind, but I think Raven would act more like Wiess because of the fact that she ends up being the chief of her clan. That would mean she would feel responsible and fiercely loyal if snappy. Just like a certain Ice Queen. Because of Raven leaving and Summer dying early, Yang and Ruby wouldn't retain much personality from them but instead their dad and uncle.

In short how I modeled the personality was that they have a main personalty that will show through the most and and secondary that will show the for part of the rest. The rest consist of moments of the third dominant traits and one or two moments of the last.

To me

Ruby= Weapon enthusiast, Problem solving, and Energetic/Optimistic

Wiess= Regal, Practiced, and Responsible

Blake= Book lover, Calm/Collected, and Observant

Yang= Loud, Party Animal, and Protective

So

Summmer:

Main is Blake, She loves fairytales and is the calm one of the group

Secondary is Yang

Then Ruby

And she has one or two moments of Wiess' character

Taiyang:

Main is Yang, He is a party animal and the loud one

Secondary is Ruby

Then Wiess

And lastly Blake

Raven:

Main is Wiess, She is responsible and Regal. She holds herself high.

Secondary is Blake

Then Yang

And lastly Ruby

Qrow:

Main is Ruby, He loves weapons and is quite the problem solver

Secondary is Weiss

Then Blake

And finally Yang

Remember this does not mean Qrow is Ruby or Summer is Blake. I tried to make them their own person with similar traits and hobbies as team RWBY. My goal is to get to volume 2 of RWBY. But first we have to go through the trailers. Anyway enough of this HUGE ramble the next note will be at most a paragraph and the actually story will be much longer. I just needed to explain that first.

Hope you enjoy the prologue to this new series-

Team STRQ waits in their room. Summer the leader is reading a book in the top bunk located on the right side of the room. The Branwen twin, Raven stares out of the dorm window. She glances at everything from the people's unique clothing to the pebble they happen to step on. Her brother, Qrow Branwen, sits on the bottom bunk, located on the left side of the room, sharpening the blade of his weapon. The heavy hitter of their team, Taiyang Xiao Long, sits on the chair located next to the desk trying his hardest to study for the final test of the semester. Taiyang lets out a pitiful groan as he slumps back in his seat.

"I'm so bored!" He exclaims to his team looking back at them. Summer lightly chuckles as she turns the page of her book. Raven spares a glance before returning to her view. Qrow sighs and gently places his weapon on the bed.

"Well why don't you think of it like one of your pranks. Grimm knows you spend more time on one of those pranks then you ever have on your studies". Qrow suggests.

"But that's the thing! The pranks are fun and the studies not so much". Taiyang responds. Raven scoffs.

"Why are you studying anyways? You never study" Raven asks.

"Yeah. About that. If I fail this test I may or may not have to take extra classes". Summer responds this time saying.

"Well that doesn't sound so bad".

"With Professor Goodwitch as my personal tutor". At this all of them winced. No one deserved that fate.

"Well hey". Qrow says trying to lighten the mood.

"You're day of reckoning isn't for another few days. So just chill a bit. Take a break".

"That sounds like a great idea. It's getting kinda boring in here and we could all use a little bit of exercise". Summer exclaimed marking her page and jumping down from the bunk.

"It is getting stuffy in here". Raven agreed.

"So it's settled then. Off we go to the outside world!" Qrow yelled dragging Taiyang from the color of his shirt.

"Yeah!" Summer rejoiced .

"Woo". Raven said unenthusiastic before closing the dorm room behind her.
