Cold Rune, Aura master and powerful semblance Rune. Basically he will be an OP character with a cold personality.

Rune Rose.

Rune Rose is the son of Taiyang Xiao Long and Summer Rose and the younger half-brother of Yang Xiao Long.

A boy with a dark history that many would question to what kind of person he turn into. When he was 5 years old. His mother died on a mission leaving his father in very depress state. But that depress state made Taiyang into alcoholic man as he mourn for his wife death. But this was a problem for Rune.

Why?

Is because Rune resemble Summer so much that made Taiyang think that death was mocking him. This cause Taiyang to start to beat up his only son because Rune made Taiyang remember so much of Summer. While Yang for some odd reason started to beating down on her own little brother. Soon Rune started get abused everyday by his father and sister. After months of abuse, Rune has finally decided to run away from home and headed to Vale to live on the streets and taking only his red hood that he received from his mother as a gift.

He lived in the streets for years and he was learning and struggling to survive. From pick pocketing to killing people to gain something for a living. In that day he started to develop his own cold and dark personality as he taken no sympathy in killing people and has known the rule of the street. It's live or die in his opinion.

But during those years, he developed an interest in becoming a hunter since he knew that his own mother was huntress and powerful one. Rune decided to steals some few books about Aura, weapons, fighting and many more that involve in becoming a hunter.

And it turns out that Rune was a complete prodigy in the field of battle and tactics. He easily been able to understand everything that he learn and was a natural fighter. He was able to unlock his aura completely at the age of 8 and he started learning manipulating its own very unique way and using as his advantage in fighting. Rune would always train in the forest where many Grimms that he would use as target practice. But what make Rune different was he has deep understanding of Aura.

Mostly Aura is used offense, defense, unlocking another person Aura and Healing. But Rune has learn more and deeper understanding of Aura through the books of different theories of Aura and different methodologies about it. Now Rune learn that Aura can't just be used as offense and defense but can be also used in detecting other presences and also creating weapons or objects with the use of Aura itself. He also learn in absorbing Aura in his surroundings making have a supply of unlimited Aura. But Rune can only absorb the aura in his surround only a few feet away since was still learning through his age and was still growing and he wasn't at his prime yet.

During those times Rune was able to make friend some of the thugs in the street that turns out to be weapon dealers. Rune knew now that he now has resources in making his own weapon that he wanted. It took him two years to forge his weapon since many of the materials were hard to get since many of them wanted some favors from Rune such as doing some simple errands or assassination mission which Rune was no problem at it. But Rune develop a moral standard. He would only kill if that being was criminal or grimm. He would never do senseless killing now since he knew that his own mother wouldn't approved after learning that hunters has strong morals in justice.

Anyway the weapon that he created is called Cresent Rose. It's a High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe (HCSS) - a hybrid between a scythe and a sniper rifle.

Well that pretty much sums up Rune Rose early life.

Now on to the main story!

==Years later==

Rune Rose was the dust shop called Dust till Dawn and was currently reading a magazine that tells all about weapons. Rune has change over the years as he was now a 15 year old boy that has black hair with red streak and silver eyes. He was lean but muscular built and wears a high collar sleeveless black shirt, black gloves, black short pants a pair of black boots with red laces. He also wearing his trademark red hood that he received from his mother but with modified now with a symbol of a rose in the back.

Rune was at this dust shop because he knew the old man of this shop and was actually friends with it. The old man was very nice person since majority of his life living in the street. The old man would give some food and even let him stay at the shop as a shelter which Rune was really thankful for.

Right now is listening some music and enjoying some reading times. 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 eyes narrowed at this and quickly without second thought. He quickly grabbed the man wrist and twist it. The guy in suit screamed in pain as he dropped his weapon and Rune quickly follows it up with a powerful straight kick sending him crashing to one of the walls. Then another black suit guy show up and pointed a gun towards run. Soon quickly applied aura to his feet and made a powerful flying kick towards the guy.

CRASH!

The thug was crash into the glass window of the shop with Rune not far behind him. Rune looks down at the man and a smirk appeared on his face.

"Let's see how strong your bones are." Rune grabbed the man wrist and twist it before adding pressure to it.

CRACK!

"AHHHHHHHHH!" The man shouted before he stop as Rune kick him in the face, knocking him out cold.

"HEY!" The guy in bowler hat shouted at Rune. "Who the hell are you?!"

Rune turns around and glares at the man. Soon he pulls out his Crescent Rose and turn it into its scythe mode. "Just call me Rune or Black Rose"

"Okay" The man said. "GET HIM YOU IDIOTS!"

Soon the men run out from the shop with weapons in their hands and started charging at Rune. Rune just rolled his eyes and muttered "idiots"

The first man swung his sword at Rune but Rune easily deflect it with his scythe and it was cut into two. Rune quickly takes him down with a powerful kick to the face sending him crashing to the wall. Seeing that none of them were worth using his weapon. He put his weapon away and went to his hand to hand combat stance. Soon Rune just used hand to hand combat skills to knock them all down as he kick them down.

Soon all of the men were on the ground and were groaning in pain.

Rune looks around and saw the man with a bowler hat was climbing on the ladder. Rune looks at the old man at the dust shop.

"I'm going after him. I'll pay you later for the damages of the shop." Rune said to the old man. The old man nodded at him before Rune pursuit the man in bowler hat as he draws his weapon again. Rune arrived at the rooftop and saw that the man climbing aboard on the bullhead airship.

"Stop right there jackass!" Rune shouted at the man as the man was flying few feet away from Rune. The man turns around to face Rune who was glaring at him.

"End of the line Red!" The man threw a red crystal at her feet before the bottom part of his cane opened and he fired a blast at said crystal.

*Boom*

The man let out a laugh until his eyes widen in shock in what he saw.

Rune body was covered aura and behind him avatar of a red grim reaper that was only a few meters taller than him. The grim reaper shows only his upper body and was covered with robes and was holding a Scythe in his hands.

The man face turned pale in seeing this.

"Try dodging this you son of a bitch!" Rune shouted as he swung his weapon and the grim reaper swung its Scythe, sending a powerful aura wave at the man. Rune made sure that the aura was only powerful enough to give scratch to the steel since he doesn't want the bullhead crashing down on town.

SQUELCH!

"AHHHHH! SON OF BITCH! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT YOU BASTARD!" The man growled at Rune as the arm was cut off and a small scratch was created through the bullhead. The bullhead manage to fly away and all Rune did was stare at bullhead before slowly his avatar and aura disappeared.

"Well that takes care of that shit." Rune muttered as he placed his weapon and put his hands inside pockets and started walking away from the scene.

After that incident Rune was now walking down on the street and was heading home to his apartment that he manage to rent a few months ago.

"Mr. Rune Rose" A voice asked. Rune turns around and saw a woman standing before him. It was a blonde woman in a white, collared, long-sleeved shirt that puffed at the wrists, and revealed a sizable cleavage. She wore a black business skirt that ran from her thighs to just beneath her bust, where the buttons to keep it in place were.

Rune recognized the woman. It was Glynda Goodwitch, the headmistress of Beacon Academy.

"Yes" Rune asked. He doesn't know why this woman was searching for him but he slowly reaches for his Crescent Rose from his back.

"I witnessed your little skirmish with those robbers." Glynda said and Rune narrowed his eyes at this.

"And what of it?" Rune asked as his was now on Crescent Rose.

"Normally, I would only asked you a few questions before sending you home." Glynda said and Rune looks at her confused.

"…What?" Rune asked, his guard was completely down since he was very confuse right now.

"But…my superior wanted to talk to you. Would you please follow me?" Glynda said. Rune guard suddenly was up as he heard the word "superior" coming out from her mouth.

"I'm going to only be asked for some questions am I correct? No funny business." Glynda shook her head. "Ok, I'll come with you but" Rune eyes narrowed at her. "If you or superior try anything funny. I will cut your limbs"

Glynda eyes narrowed at this. "Is that a threat" her voice tone was deadly cold.

"It's a promise" Rune replied back with the same tone. Glynda stare at the boy for a few more moments and nodded her head before make gesture to follow her. Rune started following her to where he was going to take.

Soon Rune arrived in a small room where he was sitting on the table and was tapping on it with a bored look on his face as he wait.

Soon Glynda arrived at the room with a man behind her. Rune saw that man was around his middle age and has tousled gray hair and thin brown eyes. He has a light complexion and sharp facial features. He wears shaded glass spectacles and a dark-green scarf with a small, purple, cross-shaped emblem on it. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a buttoned vest and green undershirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants.

The man takes seat on the chair that was in front of Rune.

"Rune Rose…I must say I never expect you to turn out like this." Ozpin said and Rune narrowed his eyes at the man.

"And what is that the headmaster of Beacon academy wants with me." Rune said as he recognized Ozpin. Ozpin eyes soften at hearing this.

"I see you know me very well Rune." Ozpin said and Rune just rolled his eyes.

"Spare me the details headmaster and what do you want?" Rune asked. Glynda glares at Rune and was about speak about Rune rude behavior but Ozpin raised his hand to stop Glynda. Glynda looks at Ozpin and saw that the man shook his head, making Glynda back down on her attempt.

Ozpin looks back Rune and said with a softone."…Your family is been looking for you for the past 10 years Rune. Your father and sister deeply regretted on what action they done to you. "

As soon as Ozpin said those words. Rune gritted his teeth as he unleashed some of his red Aura, clearing he was pissed off in hearing those words. Rune looks at Ozpin in the eyes and said. "They. Are. Not. My. FAMILY!" Rune spat each word like poison in his mouth.

"They fucking abused me for 5 months. For what?! Because I remind them of my mother so much. That's bull crap and you know! I have suffered every single beating for every single day for that past 5 months. They are not family and I won't acknowledge them as my family. My only family is my mom…Summer Rose" Rune said softly on the last part as his aura slowly disappeared and his eyes turned hollow. Even he moved on from the death of his mother he would make sure that he would visit his mother grave whenever he had time and making sure that he was not been found by Taiyang ,Yang or anyone who has ties with them.

Ozpin looks at Rune eyes and saw that the boy eyes were hollowed in just remembering Summer. Ozpin knew standing before him was not a teenage boy but a child who was broken from the abused he went through and who lost someone very important. Ozpin knew Rune reputation as he was known as the Black Rose, A person who was a known killer of criminals, drug lords and etc. The Black Rose was said to be a very cold person and was a man with inhuman strength that could kill a pack of beowolves without breaking a sweat. A person that also known as a ruthless killer of criminals in the street of Vale.

But in Ozpin eyes, Rune was none of those things now since he looks like a helpless boy who was only wanting some love and comfort.

Rune snap out from his thoughts and glare back at Ozpin. "What the point of wanting to meet me anyway? If you don't have anything to say then I'll be leaving now."

"I wish to offer you in becoming a hunter." Ozpin said and this cause Rune to stop from standing from his chair and look at Ozpin with wide eyes.

"What?" Rune asked, wanting to make sure if he misheard Ozpin.

"I want you to enroll at my academy in becoming a hunter. After seeing your fight-"

"You saw what happened?"

"Glynda was able to get the recordings of the fight and I must say you are very powerful fighter in your age. Who taught you?"

Rune snorted. "I'm a born prodigy in the battlefield. It was all self-taught maybe with few extra help." Rune was proud of himself that he manage to get stronger all even with a few help from veteran hunters who he met while he was training against the beowolves and he knows that he could do what takes to become a hunter.

"I see…Well, are you interested in joining my academy?" Ozpin asked and Rune was now deep in his thoughts. On one hand this will help him finally become a hunter like her mother was but the other hand there is a chance that he would meet Yang in the near future if she was attending the academy.

After weighting both pros and cons, his desire becoming a hunter outweighs the chance of him meeting up with Yang.

He looks at Ozpin with determine look on his face and Ozpin liked that look on his face. Rune eyes were now ignited with determination in becoming hunter. "Alright, I'm joining the academy." Rune said.

Ozpin smiled at hearing this while Glynda, who was observing the scene just rolled her eyes but couldn't help but let out a small smile also. Ozpin stands up and said to Rune. "Very well . The start of semester will begin next week. So prepare yourself in your journey becoming a hunter."

Rune just gave a smirk at Ozpin and before leaving the room. One thing came in his mind as he was walking towards home. 'I'm on way in becoming hunter. This is going to be fun.'
