I feel a quick preface is necessary before this story begins. This is essentially fanfiction by a non-fan. RWBY was
initially quite interesting to me, the base concepts and trailers were certainly unique and Monty's talent dripped from every
frame of animation. However, I found myself unable to quite like the show itself, for reasons that I can't quite put my
finger on. The animation always seemed off to me, at no fault of the animators themselves. The plot seemed to ignore the
setting until it became convenient to reference it. The primary flaw I found was the overabundance of characters to an
almost comical degree. I stopped watching after season 2, and do not intend to continue. But I digress. I intend for this
story to be my attempt at making use of the setting and characters of RWBY, to the best of my ability. In order to better
facilitate this endeavor, I claim the right to change any element of the base material to my liking. Cities may move, grow,
or cease to exist altogether. Characters may act in ways that seem contrary to their canon counterparts. Make no mistake,
though I own none of the characters or elements of the world, from a writing standpoint this story is mine. I have the final
say, and the show will serve only as a base. In addition, though I have written several original stories in the past, this will
be my first attempt at fanfiction. It is an ambitious project I will admit, but I hope it is enjoyable both for me to write and
for you to read. However, if any of the above sounds like this is not your type of story, by all means click away. Read
"Remnant's Reclaimer" or some other demonstrably better work (Even if you do stick around read "Remnant's Reclaimer"
anyway, it's really good!) With that my monologue will cease, and the story begins. Thanks for reading!
