Like I said Rune back story will completely different which I won't reveal much yet. but will also make a good theory about Rune powers
Chapter 1
Fly cam footage
The footage reveal a small forest and a boy that was around 15 years old that had short black hair with red streak and he had silver eyes. The boy had a lean but muscular built and was around 5'6 feet tall and wears a high collar sleeveless black shirt, black gloves, black short pants a pair of black boots with red laces. He was wearing a red hood with a symbol of a rose in the back.
"Everything good, droid?" The guy asked. The machine that was recording everything just made some beeping sound that made me give it thumbs up.
"Nice, anyway its day one of my video journal and its July 5th, 2013. Anyway I'm Rune Rose, brother of Ruby Rose, who is my twin sister and Yang Xiao Long, who is my big sister." Rune said as he introduce himself before taking a deep breath.
"Anyway I'm recording this future reference or to have some few laughs on whoever ever discover this" Rune said with small smile on face.
"Well anyway there's some things you can't know about me...not just yet. All I can say that had different childhood. Different any average hunter kids and such." Rune said with weak laugh that which made it a little awkward before continuing. "Well I'm not like my sister's or my family. I'm not sure that anyone could relate to me because I'm do one of a kind. Most people only have one semblance but very rare cases have at least 2 or 3. But never in history has that somebody had 5 semblance." Rune said.
"I'm already picturing that whoever find my scroll and unlock it would be shock or not believing it. "I'm already sure that all of you are either shock or not believing what I just said and thinking that I was just bragging about it but sorry I'm not. Because what happened to me in that past had made have that kind of power. Which I won't reveal now. Anyway my semblances are Panmnesia, Enhance Calling, Reality Perception, Marking Teleportation and...well I won't tell the last one until my later videos since my last semblance is very dangerous and-." Rune said but he was cut off when another voice was heard.
"RUNE! WHERE ARE YOU! YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD COME WITH ME IN TOWN TO CHECK THE NEW WEAPON MAGAZINE!" A female voice was heard.
"COMING RUBY!" Rune shouted before returning back to camera. "Well sorry to cut this video short but I need take Ruby into town." Rune grabbed the camera and said. "Well, everyone. Welcome to Rune Rose life"

"Ruby, how long are you going to read that magazine?" Rune said with an annoyed tone. He and Ruby were currently at the 'Dust till Dawn' shop in Vale. Rune is completely bored right now and wanted to leave but his sister Ruby doesn't want to yet.
"Come on, just let me finish this first." Ruby said to Rune. Ruby is a fair skinned young girl with silver eyes and black, neck-length hair that gradates to dark red at the tips cut in an asymmetrical style.
She wears a long sleeved thick black blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a black skirt with red trim. She also wears a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trim around the top and red soles.
Her outfit is topped by a red hooded cloak fastened to her shoulder by cross-shaped pins. Her emblem appears as a large silver brooch and is pinned to a wide black belt slung around her hips on an angle, which also has bullets and a pouch attached.
Rune rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. "Fine but a few more minutes." Rune said before placing back his headset. Ruby did the same with her own headset and continue on their business.
But they failed to notice that someone entered the shop. Rune heard some noises but decided to ignore it read some of the magazine of the store.
Then suddenly he felt someone just grabbed his shoulder. He turns around and saw a guy in a suit wearing a red sunglasses and he had a sword in his hand.
"Put your hands in the air!" The guy said. Rune look at man with bored look on his face. Rune tap on Ruby shoulder to make her look at him.
"What?" Ruby asked. Rune just pointed at the guy in front of him. Ruby turns around and saw the guy that who was pointing his red sword at them. Ruby remove his headset and Rune did the same.
"I said, put your hands in the air, now!" The man said. The twins look at each other before looking back.
"Are you…robbing us?" Ruby asked.
"YES!" The henchman said before Rune suddenly grabbed the man wrist and twist it causing the man to scream in pain. Rune and Ruby quickly did a double flying kick to the man
CRASH!
Sending the man crashing into the shop glass window with the two not far behind.
"Now to break this little bone." Rune said before he snapped one of the finger bones of the man.
CRACK!
The man screamed in pain.
"Rune!" Ruby said in scolding tone.
"What? He's a bad guy? He just tried to rob us." Rune said. Ruby was about scold him again but he was cut off by another voice.
"HEY!" a voice shouted at them that causes them to stop arguing and look at back. They both saw a man with bowler hat that was wearing a white suit, grey scarf and black pants. The man has slanted, dark-green eyes and bright, long, orange hair, with long bangs covering his right eye. Black eyeliner traced his visible left eye. The man also held a cane.
Rune eyes widen surprised in seeing the man and the man did the same but soon the man expression turned into anger.
"YOU!" The man shouted in anger.
"Yo Roman, how you been?" Rune said with cheerfully with a mocking tone that only made Roman anger grow.
"GET THE TWERPS!" Roman shouted. The twins pulled out their weapons. Ruby had a giant foldable red scythe while Rune pulls out a red and blue great sword with two dust barrel around the guard and two handles. Rune grabbed the two handles of the blade and separated it into two blades.
Roman henchman charges at them and the twins went into their stances.
"You take the right while I take on the left." Rune said with serious tone. Ruby nodded and Ruby charges at her enemies while Rune waited for them to come.
The henchmen run at Ruby, who spins around her scythe and kicks the first approaching criminal in the face. She gets Crescent Rose out of the ground and fires it off to hit another one with the butt of her weapon, sending him flying. She fires again and brings the side down on one attacker and dodges the next's gunfire with her rifle's speed, getting close enough to knock him into the air and follow him upwards so she can beat him away to Roman's feet.
Rune waited one of the henchman to attack him and quickly Rune block the attacks with his blade. Rune turns around and slash the man, who was behind and quickly did a strong kick to the gut to send it flying. Rune quickly combine his two swords into one great sword and quickly slam it to the ground, sending the nearby goons flying to the air before he swung it like a club sending two of the goons flying into the walls.
Roman looks around and saw every one of his goons were defeated. "You were worth every cent. Truly, you all were." Roman muttered sarcastically before turning back at the two twins. He dropping his cigar and crushing it with his cane as approaching police sirens are heard. "Well, Red, Rune I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around..." He raises his cane and opens the bottom to reveal a rifle with a cross grid. "I'm afraid this is where we part ways and I get back at you Rune Rose."
Roman unleashes a red blast at two, who quickly dodges away. When both of them land on their feet they looks up and saw Roman isn't in front of the shop anymore. The two turn and saw the roman was climbing up a ladder on a nearby building.
Rune looks at the shop keeper, who came out from the shop and said. "You okay if we go after him?"
The shop keeper nodded and the two quickly followed Roman towards to the rooftop of the building.
"HEY!" Ruby said as she saw Roman running towards the edge of the roof.
Roman turns back and saw the twin chasing towards him. "Persistent"
Ruby and Rune prepare themselves to fight him, but a getaway Bullhead rises up and opens the hatch to allow Roman inside. Roman turns around while holding a red dust. "End of the line, Red." He throws it out at their feet and fires it, resulting in a large explosion.
Roman let out a laugh when the smoke started to clear up he stop laughing at what he saw.
A woman with blond hair and green eyes and wearing in a purple cape is now appeared in front of the twins, casting a circle of protection over them with her wand. Ruby had an awe look on her face while Rune had calculated look, the woman waves her weapon and summons several streaks of purple at the craft. Roman is thrown around in the back until he goes to the cockpit, where a woman in red, is struggling with the controls.
"We got a Huntress!" Roman said. The woman gets up and heads toward the back as Roman takes the controls.
The blond woman glows purple for a moment and aims another blast above the craft, resulting in a dark storm-cloud right over the jet.
"The hell...?" Roman said in confusion
With a flick of the blond woman wand, large jagged hail starts falling that pummels the jet and even breaks through the window, narrowly missing Roman's head.
The woman in red reaches the back and her arms and chest light up like fire, aiming a burst of energy at blond. The Huntress blocks it, but the flame splatters behind her and glows hot with the enemy's raised hand. The blond woman back-flips out of the explosion, which destroys part of the roof, and magically gathers the shards to create a large arrow, which she throws at the craft. The fiery woman shatters the arrow with several blasts, but it reforms just in time to hit the side of the jet due to Roman's quick aerial lean. The wreckage separates and reshapes into more arrows that encircle the jet, but the woman summons several glowing rings around herself that expand and destroy the shards.
Ruby and Rune quickly decided to help. Ruby changed her weapon into a gun while Rune separated his great sword into two blades. Ruby started releasing some bullets while Rune building up energy from the blades before unleashing a wave of red and blue energy towards the fiery woman.
The fiery blocked all of Ruby bullet attacks with her hands before creating a powerful shield to block the wave of energy. The fiery woman creates several blazing circles around her three opponents. Rune quickly grabbed Ruby and rolled out of the way while the blond woman flip out of the way also before the radius explosion could hit them.
They look back and saw that bullhead was flying away, too far for them to reach.
Rune put his weapon back together before letting it collapse into smaller size for it to put away. Rune turns to the blond woman and inspect her and finally realized who she was. She Glynda Goodwitch, the head mistress of beacon academy.
"You're a huntress." Rune heard his twin sister. He looks at Ruby and saw awe look on her face.
"Can I have your autograph?" Ruby asked in Glee while Rune just face palm at this.
==Moments Later==
"I hope that you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, young lady. You put yourself and others in great danger." Glynda said to them. Rune and Ruby found themselves at local police station being interrogated.
"They started it!" Ruby said in defense. Rune just facepalm again.
"That a childish answer Ruby. You could said that they were trying to mug us and attacked in self-defense." Rune said to his twin sister.
"Or that" Ruby said nervously. Glynda continues to give stern look at the two but Rune was completely affected by it.
"If it were up to me, you'd be sent home... With a pat on the back..." Glynda said that cause Ruby to smile and Rune to look at her with a raised brow. "...And a slap on the wrist." Glynda ended as she demonstrates with her wand, which Ruby barely avoids as she gives out an "Eeek! While Rune just silently chuckle at Ruby reaction.
"But... there is someone here who would like to meet you." Glynda said before she moves out of the way so a surprised Ruby and Rune can see a man in green come through the doorway, holding a mug and a plate of cookies. Rune immediately recognized him. He was Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon Academy.
"Ruby Rose," he addressed the girl first, "and Rune Rose." He turned to the boy.
Both sat up in rapt attention.
"The two of you... have silver eyes," he spoke as if deciphering a puzzle. The twins looked to each other in confusion before turning back to Ozpin.
"So!" continued Ozpin. "Where did you learn to do this?" he asked Ruby as he pointed towards the woman's scroll, showing a recording of the street fight.
"S-Signal Academy?" she hesitantly answered.
"An entry level school taught you how to wield one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" Ozpin asked.
"Well, one instructor in particular!"
"I see," he continued. At that point, he set the plate down in front of her.
Ruby's eyes shot back and forth between Ozpin and the cookies. A pale hand slowly reached forward and took a cookie. She ate one, then another as her smile grew. In no time at all, she ravenously inhaled cookie after cookie, not even crumbs were safe. Rune just shook his head at Ruby obsession with cookies.
"I only know of one person who can wield the scythe with such ease..." continued Ozpin. "...a dusty old crow."
Ruby mumbled an affirmation through a mouthful of cookie.
"Pardon me?" Ozpin asked.
She swallowed and giggled nervously.
"Sorry, that's my Uncle Qrow, and he's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing, but now I'm all whooowaah watttchaaa!" Ruby described animatedly, complete with hand gestures.
"So I've seen," replied Ozpin with a slight smile. "And what is an adorable little girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?"
"Well... I want to be a Huntress."
"You want to slay monsters?"
"Yeah! I only have two more years at Signal and then I want to apply to Beacon. You see, my sister is starting there this year and she's trying to become a Huntress. I'm trying to become a Huntress because I wanna help people!" she rambled on. "Our parents always taught us to help people and I thought 'Oh might as well make a career out of it' heheh, and sure the police are good and all but Hunters and Huntresses are just so much more cool and romantic and exciting and gosh you know?" she squealed.
The woman fixed Ruby with a deadpan expression while Rune just shook his head at Ruby silly antics.
"Very interesting," chuckled Ozpin before he directed his attention towards Rune.
"Rune... you, unlike Ruby, I have already heard about and in great detail I might add."
Rune eyes narrowed a little and slightly stiffened at the remark.
"How so?" he questioned carefully.
Ozpin waved at the scroll, the recording now switching to one of Raine. This time, unlike Ruby who fought criminals, he was battling a group of grims in some forest and practically easily slicing and dicing every single one of them with great precision. Another video is shown Rune taking on a group of students, blocking and dodging everything and countering everything flawlessly. Ruby was awe on how Rune was easily beating every single student in the video.
"Well…that's a bit surprising that the head master of beacon has taken interest of me." Rune lean back to his seat and look at Ozpin with suspicion on his eyes. "Interest enough for me to be stalk and to watch on like a hawk. But the question is why headmaster?" Rune asked. Glynda didn't like Rune tone and was about to speak but Ozpin raised his hand to stop her while Ruby was getting nervous since her twin brother looks like about to bad mouth Ozpin.
"I reassure you Mr. Rose that this only for research purposes about you. Also to think why would you turn down the offer in applying to Beacon academy. A student is known as the one of the most powerful hunter in training in this generation didn't want to join Beacon Academy immediately." Ozpin said. Rune didn't detect any lies that causes him to relax.
"You got an offer to go to Beacon Academy?!" Ruby asked in surprised as look at her twin. Rune raised a brow at her.
"Yeah…I forgot about that. Sorry Rubes." Rune apologize but clearly he wasn't apologizing. Ruby just pouted at him. "Well it's really simple why I didn't accept Beacon Academy offer." Rune said and everyone looks at him curiously.
"And what is that reason, ?" Ozpin asked as he was curious why he turn down the offer.
"It's because I didn't want to leave Ruby behind. She my twin." Rune said and Ruby was surprised at this. "Sure I would be with Yang join to beacon academy but I didn't want leave Ruby behind besides." Rune turn to her and smirk. "I can't really leave you since you're very socially awkward."
"HEY!" Ruby pouted at him while Rune just let out a chuckle before the duo turn back their attention to Ozpin.
Ozpin tilted his head. "Do either of you know who I am?"
"You're Professor Ozpin, the Headmaster at Beacon," Ruby answered immediately.
Ozpin, who had seated himself, leaned forward across the table. "You want to come to my school?" he directed the question to the both of them. Rune was surprised at this but look at Ruby and saw awe look on her face.
"More than anything in the world," she breathed. He turned his gaze towards Rune.
"Well…since Ruby accepted the offer. I'll going to accept the offer now." he answered, still dumbstruck that this was happening.
Ozpin gave a questioning gaze to his associate. She scoffed and looked away, rolling her eyes.
With a broad smile on his face and eyes squinted shut, "Well alright."
==Time Skip==
"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister and brother is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!" The girl with blond hair said in glee as she bears hug Ruby and Rune. This girl Yang Xiao Long, elder sister of Ruby and Rune.
She wore a tan vest with gold piping over a yellow low-cut crop top with a black crest that resembles a burning heart. The vest has puffy cap sleeves with black cuffs. On the sides of the cuffs, there are two small golden buttons. She wears a brown belt with a buckle, a pouch, and a small banner-like object. The same burning heart crest appears on this banner, except golden in color. She wears black shorts under her belt, which resembles a pleated skirt in the back. Over the short shorts but under the belt is a white asymmetrical back skirt. Aside from an orange infinity scarf around her neck, she had no discernible jewelry. She wears brown knee-high platform boots that appear to be made of leather, with orange socks of different lengths. Her left leg also has a gray bandanna-like object wrapped around the top of her boot. She wears fingerless black gloves underneath her weapons, which resemble two yellow mechanized gauntlets with a black design. Long, messy gold locks cascaded down her back and past her waist.
"Please stop" Ruby said as she was being crushed at Yang gripped.
"Damn it Yang, You're squeezing us too hard." Rune complained. Yang finally let go of them.
"But I'm so proud of both of you!" Yang said happily.
"Really Sis, it was nothing." Ruby said.
"Yeah, taking out Roman and his goons wasn't really that hard." Rune said as he waves off Yang compliment.
"What do you both mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you two the bee's knees." Yang said happily to her.
"Really Yang? Bee knees?" Rune said with a deadpan look while Ruby didn't seem happy with Yang compliment either
"I don't want to be the "bee's knees", okay? I don't want to be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees." Ruby said.
"What's with both you? Aren't you both excited?" Yang asked. Rune just shrugged in response while Ruby said nervously.
"Of course I'm excited... I just..." Ruby sigh before continuing. "I got moved ahead two years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything." Yang smiled and place her arm around Ruby shoulder.
"But you are special." Yang said to her while Rune nodded in agreement.
"Yang right, Ruby. You are special." Rune said as he ruffle Ruby hair which earned him a pout from her and a laugh from Yang.
The trio turned their attention to the holoscreen. A news report of last night's robbery was playing. Thankfully, there was no mention of the Rune and Ruby or their involvement, probably Ozpin's doing.
The reporter then swapped to an update on an incident with the White Fang, a Faunus Rights movement that had suddenly turned violent the previous year, but was interrupted by a recording of Glynda Goodwitch. Rune listened for a few moments but tuned it out when he realized it was just a stock greeting for new students. Instead he turned his attention out the port windows. He gazed in awe as the ship turned about to give its passengers a full view of Beacon Academy.
A cluster of glorious and intricate spires made up the heart of the grounds, flanked and surrounded by numerous smaller buildings. Leading up to it was a grand plaza of gardens, statues, and fountains all arranged in patterns to accent each feature. Two rivers, one on each flank, met in the middle of this plaza. Connecting that to the landing platform was a long causeway decorated with ivory arches and wrought-iron street lamps. The platform itself was fairly standard and situated on the edge of sheer cliff face. An additional stairway and elevator system wound its way down the cliff face to a small dock. Rune smiled in seeing at the beautiful view. He barely noticed Ruby and Yang join him at the window.
"Look! You can see Signal from up here!" Ruby said. "I guess home isn't too far off after all."
"Beacon's our home now," Yang assured her, putting an arm around her little sister and brother. The trio hear a passenger groaning and hunched over nearby, running to the back of the ship.
Their reverie was interrupted though when another passenger, a teenage boy with shaggy blonde hair, blue eyes, and wearing some novice combat armor struggled to hold his lunch. Rune moved away from the two as to give the boy a wide berth as he stumbled by, swaying dangerously close to Ruby and Yang because something disgusting is about happen.
"I guess the view isn't for everyone," Yang commented.
"It was nice while it lasted," replied her sister. The ship is seen approaching Beacon across a large body of water.
"I wonder who we're gonna meet!" Ruby said.
"I just hope they're better than Vomit Boy." Yang said before a barfing sound was heard.
"Oh, Yang, gross! You have puke on your shoe!" Ruby said as she moves away from Ruby
"Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross!" Yang said as she started to hop on one foot and following Ruby.
"Get-Get away! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me!" Ruby said as she was completely grossed out.
"Rune! Come on help me!" Yang said as she turns around and started to hop towards her little brother.
"Aw hell no! You better stay that away from me Yang!" Rune said.
Fly cam footage
The footage reveal Rune leaning against the wall of the airship as he was looking at the camera
"Well, I'm heading towards to Beacon. After impressing the headmaster of academy along with sister Ruby. I never thought that all of my siblings will be going to academy together. I'm happy and worried at the same time but I'm sure that I can handle what they can throw at me-"
"RUNE, COME ON AND HELP ME!" Yang voice was heard. The camera turns to Yang hopping towards Rune with barf on her boots from earlier.
"DAMN IT YANG! I SAID TO GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!" Rune said. The footage is shown that Rune was running away from Yang.
