Well, I have decided and went ahead to make the RWBY/BLEACH where Ruby goes to Beacon. I'll use the IVORY story as a prequel to RWBY.
Here is the first trailer for my OFFICIAL RWBYxBleach Crossover story. The four chapters would be trailers for Ichigo and his team, along with a little bits of team RWBY.
I FINALLY found an orangy "I" word. Granted, it's a different language but I'll take anything. Izsir is Udmurt for 'amber'.
One last thing: Can someone help try to think of a title for this story? I couldn't think of anything better than RWBY: Ivory Moon...unless this one is golden and we can go with this one. Let's do a vote then. If anyone wants me to go with RWBY: Ivory Moon, then I'll do it. If not, then give your idea. I'll give credit.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach and RWBY. They belong to Tite Kubo and Monty Oum (RIP) respectively.
"Strength is the ability to overcome obstacles and protect those you hold dear. Even from yourself."
Silverwald Forest of Solitas gained it's name from the sheen of ice and frost that encases the trees and their leaves. In the sunlight, the ice shines like the metal. It's even more beautiful in the night under the shattered moon. Despite this, it is not wise to have a midnight stroll at the gorgeous terrain due to the dangers that hidden in the shadows.
Which is why it's seems odd to see two young sisters, hand-in-hand, running through the snow and trees. It became even more worrisome when a Grimm is chasing them. The older of the two, maybe about 12 or 11, is the one leading the two, her hand firmly grasping her little sister's hand. "Run faster!" She urged her little sister. The little girl of 7 whimpered but nodded. They hear the Grimm hiss, striking more fear into their hearts, urging them to run faster.
Unfortunately, the older sister trips on a root and stumbles down a ledge, taking her sibling with her. In quick reaction, the older girl shields her sister from the fall. Incredibly, both are unscathed minus few cuts and bruises. The older sister looks at her sibling. "Are you okay?"
The little seven-year-old nodded meekly before gasping, looking behind her sister. The older sibling follows her gaze, just when the Grimm lands a few meters away from them. It resembled a giant spider, easily as big as a Deathstalker. Bony protrusions on it's legs and on the large thorax along with an eerie red symbol placed in the middle. It's multiple eyes glowed an evil red at it's latest prey and it's fangs feel ready to bite into girls. It's a Weaver. The sisters were frozen in fear at the sight of their pursuer, unable to move. The youngest girl clutched at her sister's coat, tears filling up. The older sister holds the poor girl close, just as equally as scared but didn't want to show it, not wanting to give the Creature the satisfaction. It was proven fruitless as the Creature practically smell the fear off of both of them and charges at them with a menacing hiss. The younger one cries out and the twelve-year-old attempts to shield her beloved sister. She closes her eyes as she can hear her sister crying loudly over the sound of the Weaver coming.
This was a bad idea, she thought. She shouldn't have never come out here, especially at this time. She shouldn't have foolishly left the village without supervision or her father. And she most certainly shouldn't have allowed her baby sister to come with her. It's too late for such thoughts now. This is it. It's the end. They're gonna die.

When the older sister felt nothing, she dared herself to see what's going on. (I would start a song here) To her surprise, someone as blocked the Weaver's path. It's huge fangs currently biting down on a large sword that reminded the older sister of a butcher's knife and a flowing dark red cloth attached to it. The person wore a black coat and the girls can see the design of a white butterfly on the back. What got the girl's attention the most was the color of the savior's short, spiky hair. It was bright honey. The person turned, revealing to be a young male of age 19 with the look of urgency.
"Don't just sit there!" He exclaimed. "Hide!" Not waiting for him to say it twice, the girl looks around for a hiding spot before finding a hole in a tree trunk. She grabbed her sister and made a mad dash to the place. Seeing the girls now secure, he gives his undivided attention to the Weaver. With a heavy shove, he pushes the Weaver back and decapitates it. From their hiding spot, the girls smiled in relief that the Grimm was killed, but it was short-lived as more Weavers descended from the trees, all hissing furiously.
Ichigo rested the giant blade onto his shoulder, the dark red cloth flowing around and a hand on his hip, he smirks. The cluster starts to attack, but none were any match for the huntsman-in-training. Various slashes and blocks were enough to take down the majority of the cluster. As he fought, one of the Weavers spits out a blob of white towards him. He sees it coming and dodges it, allowing an unfortunate Weaver to get hit instead. He looks back at it, seeing it is struggling to get of the white substance, which seems sticky and gooey in nature. Then, the other Weavers started to spit out the same substance at Ichigo. He swiftly dodges the silk projectiles and then jumps to the trees where he continues to dodge. As he scaled the trees, a weak part of a branch broke from his weight, causing his balance to be thrown off and flail to steady him. Unfortunately, this made him wide opened for an attack by a Weaver, the sticky silk gluing him to the tree.
"Oh, no..." the older sister murmured, scared again for their savior. Ichigo struggles to get himself out of the mess before Ichigo closes his eyes as he activates his Semblance. In a split second, he was gone, leaving his ripped up silk prison. Confused, the Weavers hissed among themselves. The girls were equally confused. Where did he go? He didn't...he didn't leave, did he? The thought frightened the girls, which one of the Weavers picked up. Feeling peckish, the Grimm tries to go over to feast on the poor humans, but was quickly stopped by Ichigo via a stab in the head. The girls felt relieved to know he didn't abandoned them. They then noticed something. The large blade is now a long, black katana. Ichigo smiles at the girls and, in great speeds, he sliced through all the Weavers, occasionally using his enhanced strength to throw them around, even at other Weavers.
In the midst of the attacks, he feels another shot of silk goo on his leg, stopping him. He looks down to see his trapped leg. He looks back up to see the culprit charging at him. He growled under his breath. This is getting really annoying really fast. With incredible timing, he grabs his smaller blade from it's holster and stabs the Weaver in the head when it got closer. His yellow-colored Aura then swirls around his katana before he swishes, "Getsuga Tenshou!", a large crescent-shaped energy slash flies towards the remaining Weavers, bisecting all of them. Ichigo sighs. Finally done.
He heard a scream before he whirled around to see a lone Weaver climbing down the tree the sisters were hiding. Even from where he is standing, Ichigo can see the girls clutching one another, scared to death. Ichigo gritted his teeth as he seethed. This was one reason why he hated Grimm. A faint yellow glowed appeared from his eyes, but quickly fades as he calm down. Very quickly, his smaller sword reconfigure itself for a gun barrel to appear. He then replaced the dark red magazine with an amber-colored one. He points the gun at the Grimm and shoots, an ember like substance glued it place just as it tried to grab the girls with its front most legs. Putting the sword-gun back in it's holster, Ichigo uses the last few minutes of his Semblance to speed up to the Grimm and stabbed it. From below, the girls look on in awe.
With the last Weaver killed, he flips back to the ground and swished his katana, his coat bellowing in the breeze.
With the danger gone now, Ichigo put away his swords and turns to the girls, still hiding in the hollowed tree. He knelt down to their level and gives them a reassured smile in spite of his rough expression. "It's okay." He said. "It's safe, now." He extends a hand to the older sister, who graciously accepts it. "What in the world are you two doing out here alone at night?"
The younger sister, hiding behind her older sibling, answered, "To bring our mommy a flower." The older sister shoots her a look before looking back at Ichigo, who looks back at her with a scowl, waiting for her answer. The girls couldn't help but feel intimidated. They that they were in trouble. Their father probably called this person to get them. He must be worried sick...The older girl looks down in shame.
"I wanted to come alone, but she wanted come so I could get the right flower for mom, who died out here." she admitted. Silence fell around the three. The older sister glued her gaze to the ground as she heard Ichigo's heavy footsteps coming towards her. She then felt a heavy hand on her shoulder. She nervously looks up, expecting a much deeper scowl (if possible) and a stern talking to. Instead, Ichigo has knelt down to her level and gave her a soft smile.
"You did what any older sibling would do: Keeping an eye on their younger siblings." He glances at the younger sister with mirth. "Now matter how stubborn." He turns back to the older one. "But, I'm going to have to say that you can't do this again. You were lucky that I was patrolling around here. You might not be as lucky next time around. I highly doubt your mom would've wanted that, right?" After some small hesitation, she smiles at him and nods, which he returned with his own. He gives the girl a soft pat on her shoulder. "Okay." He stands back up. "Alright, since I'm here, I'll escort you two back to your village." Just before anyone else can move, the younger sister suddenly jolted from her hiding spot to block the path home, much to the surprise of the older two at her sudden bravery.
"Wait!" She shouted. "We still need to give mommy her flower!"
The shrine was small and simple, not all that far from the village. A few well placed rocks here there, a couple of dried up flowers, and a picture of the sisters' mother, smiling at the camera. The little sister gathered up all the dead flowers as Ichigo and the older sister watch her from a distance, near enough for safety. The older insisted on helping, but the younger one wanted nothing of it after everything that happened.
Ichigo leaned back on a tree silently his arms crossed. He looks around the area for any more signs of a Grimm. Finding none at the moment, he looks up at the half shattered moon. He stared silently at it until he notices something in his peripheral vision. Interestingly, there was a lone butterfly sitting on his shoulder. Weird.
"Do you have any younger siblings, Mr. Huntsman?" The older sister asked Ichigo, mildly startling him and scaring the butterfly away.
"'Mr. Huntsman'? I'm not a full-fledged Huntsman, yet. I'm still in school." Ichigo clarified. "And to answer your question: Yes, I do. Two sisters, twins." Silence fell between the two as the seven-year-old pray at the shrine.
"Was...was your mom a Huntress?"
"Yeah..."
"Was she cool?" she asked.
Ichigo merely looked at her in silence, taking in everything she said. Innocence...is such a fragile thing. All it'll take to shatter is just one single moment. He had seen such events take place right before his eyes during his years at Beacon while on missions, school approved missions for students at that. He had even seen the results of tragedy in the eyes of his teammates...no doubt that they had seen it in his eyes as well. He misses his mother, even now. He misses her stories about her missions, her cooking, her beautiful smile..."Yeah...yeah she was." He looks the shrine. This is why he wanted to become a Huntsman, to protect innocence. "She was really cool." Just like what his mother did.
His gaze lands on the newest flower for the shrine. A simple red rose.
Elsewhere...
A single grave marker has lay silently on a snowy cliffside, slightly covered in snow itself. A few snow falls on to the grave marker along with red rose petals fluttering in the wind as a girl in a long, red hood stands before it. There was a solemn silence, which is expected when a daughter visits her mother's resting place...When Ruby Rose visits her mother, Summer.
"Hey, mom." She started. "Just wanted to come visit you today." She gave a humorless chuckle. "I'm still having a great time at Signal. We're on break now, but next semester will Yang's last one and she'll be able to go to Beacon." She sighed. "I wish could go too. But I still have a couple more years left. Ugh, I really can't wait. I reallyreallyreallyreally want to become a Huntress like you mom. And I can help people and go on missions and-" Ruby grew silent as her smile crumbled away and unwanted resurfaced.
She had often dreamed about her mother and they all ended the same way. Her mother, eyes glazed over lifeless, red like roses. Ruby kneels down at the marker, placing her hand on the carved in rose. She looks down a the four words engraved right below the rose.
Thus Kindly, I Scatter
Oh, how she misses her. True, she was rather young when Summer died, but that didn't mean the hurt wasn't there. She...she truly misses her. Her warm smiles, her lullabies, her stories, her awesome cookies...
Tears dripped from Ruby's silver eyes as she remembered those beloved memories. "Uh oh, why am I crying?" She sniffled she attempt to wipe away the tears. "I'm sorry, mom. I shouldn't be like this. You wouldn't like it. You would want me to be happy." She cries to herself silently, trying to stop the tears but failing. She then felt something brush against her cheek. Through the tears, she sees the back of a familiar figure in a pure white hood and cloak, white rose petals mingling with the red. Ruby slowly stands back up. She can feel a sense of love and warmth coming off of this apparition. A maternal love and warmth. She smiles through the tears at the vision of her mother. "Okay...I'll keep moving forward, for you." Her silver eyes gazed to the half-shattered moon behind her before turning back her mother, who has disappeared. She looks down at the marker. "I'll see you later, mom." She turns back around and walks off into the snow covered forest.
While walking, occasionally skipping merrily, Ruby can't help but feel that someone, or something, was following. She'll pause for moment, listening or sensing anything. She can't sense any Aura Signatures, so it wasn't a living thing. But she sense a hollowness of sorts, a suffocating feeling that lacked any life what so ever. All there is, is a sense of pure evil. There was no doubt. A Grimm was tailing her, probably sensed her sadness over losing her mother. Despite this knowledge, she still kept going until she has reached an open area. Of course. The Grimm tailing her wasn't alone. Blocking her path is a pack of Beowulves, a big one. A few of them decided to go in for the kill and tries to strike Ruby. Thanks to her Speed, she dodged the Beowulf and leaped into the air. She smiles before brandishing her Crescent Rose.
She will become a Huntress. Just like her beloved mother was.

Okay, now that we got that out of the way, some notes about Ichigo in this story:
- He is 19 years old
- He is a 3rd year student at Beacon Academy.
- His emblem is his combat pass with swallowtail wings and crescent moons
- His weapon is based on his swords from the final arc; the smaller sword is called Tensa and the larger is called Zangetsu
- Zangetsu can transform into his Fullbring Arc Bankai katana (don't ask how it works) and Tensa can turn into a pistol
- His Semblance is called 15-Minute Power-Up, his strength and speed increases tenfold for 15 minutes
- His Aura is Yellow
- He's from Mistral. Karakura is a small town in the Kingdom of Mistral, just a train ride away from the main city.
-His 'inspiration' is the personification of death, the Grim Reaper. The theme for Team IURR is death.
-There is other stuff for Ichigo in this story, but I won't reveal them yet just for storytelling sake. Same goes for the others too.
- One more thing, you all noticed the iconic "Getsuga Tenshou!". Well, I was thinking of incorporating the calling out your attacks thing. Don't worry, nobody is going to explain what the attack does 100 million times or at all. Either that, or have named techniques. Meaning no one calls out their attacks but specific attacks have names.
Next, I'll go into detail about Ichigo's attire, combat or not, and his appearance for the story. I also kind of want to take a leaf out of the Persona Series' book in to terms of attire (p.s. I just wanted to have fun with this):
Appearance: Obviously, if you have seen/read Bleach, you know what Ichigo (and by that extension, other Bleach characters) looks like. But, how would he look as a 19 year old? What I imagine, not so different from his 17 year old self (Lost Agent Arc) except maybe a little bit taller (like 6 foot). On his right arm is a criss-crossed tattoo in black ink, like the markings Ichigo gained after Rukia gave him his powers back.
Combat Attire: For his combat attire, I imagine a long black coat with white fur tuffs on the hem of the sleeves and hood, his emblem in white on the back (like Akutabe Gamma), and the hem of the coat torn, like his bankai forms. He also wears an orange sleeveless kimono shirt with dark orange borders, black trousers, black boots, and a white belt that holds Tensa and his ammunition.
Uniform (Cold Weather): The only thing he'll ditch is the tie and vest. He'll leave his white dress shirt untucked and the first two buttons are undid and the blazer is left unbuttoned.
Uniform (Hot Weather): He doesn't wear the blazer and neither the vest and tie. The white shirt is short-sleeved and untucked.
Casual (Cold Weather): http colon dash dash gallery dot minitokyo dot net dash view dash 548495
Casual (Hot Weather): http colon dash dash gallery dot minitokyo dot net dash view dash 475621
(Casual attires are worn either during class, for lounging, or anything non-combat related)
Pajamas: A white muscle shirt with the roman numbers for 15 in black font and black/orange sweatpants
Okay, next I'll do his weapons:
Zangetsu and Tensa are both categorized as Dual Action Chain Swords (DACS). They are made of black steel.
Zangetsu: Looks nearly identical to the larger blade of Ichigo's final shikai. The difference there is a really long, dark red cloth is wrapped around the handle. Zangetsu can shrink itself into a katana, Ichigo's Lost Agent Bankai.
Tensa: Tensa is Ichigo's smaller blade that contains the inner mechanisms of a pistol. It's handle is dark red and it is the guns magazine, which Ichigo can swap for Dust bullets and a long chain is attached to the pommel with a swastika-shaped shaped hook that he mainly uses for grappling and Tensa can also be used as a flail. If he needs to, he uses Resin Dust (amber-colored Dust) to immobilize his opponents.
Last, but not least, his Semblance:
15 Minute Power Up: An active Semblance, it enhances Ichigo's physical capabilities tenfold for 15 minutes, which he mainly uses to increase his speed and agility. It is a reference to the Tiger & Bunny Hundred Power.
I would probably make RWBY profiles for him and the rest here and on DeviantArt and their weapons too. Don't expect any concept art though, I'm not good at it (except for the weapons; maybe). However, if there is someone out there who would do this for me, go right ahead lol. It would warm my heart. Please tell me though, cause I would love to see it. Of course, I'll make sure the credit goes to the artist.
Okay, very much like what I did for Ichigo, I'll go into detail for Ruby's clothing. Obvious exceptions are her combat attire and pajamas:
Uniform (Cold): She wears everything of the uniform. She also wears black pantyhose and brown school shoes. She wears her red cloak
Uniform (Hot): She doesn't wear the blazer and the white shirt is short sleeved. She still wears her red cloak
Casual (Cold): I'd imagine that Ruby gets clothes from Remnant's equivalent of Hot Topic to go with her Perky Goth. She wears a long black sweater with a dark pink ribcage design, a hooded red jacket with a black cross on the back, dark gray leggings, and black belt-buckle boots. Her emblem is the ankle sides of her boots.
Casual (Hot): Dark grey overall shorts, a red, hooded, short-sleeved shirt, black/white striped stockings and red high top converses. Her emblem is on the inside of the overall's pocket.
