Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past.

Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness – creatures of destruction – the creatures of Grimm – set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void.

However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named "Dust".

Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life. But even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die. And when they are gone... darkness will return.

So you may prepare your guardians, build your monuments to a so-called "free world", but take heed... there will be no victory in strength.

But perhaps victory is in the simpler things that you've long forgotten. Things that require a smaller, more honest soul.

And yet... when one has forgotten their past, their history, then they have become a canvas that can be dyed any color; a color that can shape this as they see fit. A canvas that can be painted in small, honest streaks... or in dark, malevolent colors.

This story... is one molded by those who watch events unfold, those who record this story.

This is the story of one individual who's actions shall change the world.

Hello everyone, and welcome to my latest fic, "RWBY: Colorless Memories." First off, I would like to thank everyone that's supported me on fanfiction, and on various sites. My friend, Joshua, died in a drunk driving accident not too long ago. He was a great man, a best friend and a brother-figure. He was the eldest son of four, having two little sisters and one younger brother. He was a Senior, and he was the greatest person I've ever met. He was the one who got me into many games and anime series, and thanks to him, I was able to get into RWBY. First episode in, and I was already hooked.

This story, along with my other one, "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Revolution," are dedicated to him.

Now, before I go into full throttle here, let me explain. This story is unique, evident by the summary. I've posted a poll on my profile, which will determine which team Lyxus will join, and after that, I'll post another poll, asking for the gender. The reason for this is because I'll be posting another version of the story, with Lyxus joining the opposite team. For example, if Lyxus joins JNPR as a boy, then in the other version, Lyxus will join RWBY as a girl. Once those two are done, future polls will decide how the story flows from there, but I'll also post polls for love interests. Who they are, I will explain in time.

I hope you all will enjoy this story. I'll be posting another RWBY story, a crossover fic, which was the story me and Joshua were working on before the accident.

As always, I hope you all have a wonderful day, or night, wherever you live. Please, be safe!
