Author's Introduction:
Hello. This is a RWBY fanfic that I thought I'd try out to make. In this one, I'm going to introduce a whole new character: Silver, full name Sylvester Harrison, Huntsman in the making and thrill seeker, slayer of Grimm. My own OC.
I wanted to try and make a character that hasn't been made, and is unique in his own way. Also, the events might follow some scenes from the original RWBY, but some other scenes might be different. In fact, as the story progresses, it might diverge off the Rwby main story all together, sometime around the Vytal Festival tournament.
RWBY is owned by Monty Oum (Rest In Peace) and Rooster Teeth.
Characters:
Many (if not all) characters from RWBY will be present, but Silver is a whole different person, made by me, so I'll explain.
Sylvester "Silver" Harrison is male, approximately 17 years old. He is also extremely tall and buff for his age, almost a head taller than most people, and is just a bit taller than Cardin Winchester. He actually has three weapons.
One is a very powerful rifle, a combination of the M82 .50 Calibre sniper rifle and the Halo franchise's sniper rifle (similar to a .50 cal sniper), except that it can fold into a more compact form and can fire many dust cartridges. Some have fire, others have ice, but he is mostly armed with armor-piercing that leave a very clear vapor trail in the air. He gave it the name Magnum, a clear reference to its weapon class. (I was originally stuck between a .50 calibre sniper and an AWM type sniper, but the .50 calibre is more for power, while the Arctic Warfare types are more for covert/silent use).
The other is an extendable Rocket Launcher, a mix between the SMAW rocket launcher, the Javelin guided launcher and the Stinger homing launcher. It can fire rockets conventionally, but also with the help of a built in tracker that can guide them with laser guiding and heat seeking means. It has a small screen attached that can be folded to act as a guiding system for guided rockets. It can also hold multiple rockets at a time, especially useful when rocket jumping, which is Silver's main mean of quick travel and an effective mean of escape. The rockets are normal ones that do cause damage but have a large explosion radius. Other rockets involve incendiary, ice and airburst. This one he calls Patriot, a reference to the Patriot missile as well as it's American inspirations. (I know that Junior used a rocket launcher in the Gold trailer, but this idea came to me before I watched the trailer. I was really annoyed, but I spent enough time deciding on a weapon for him, also Junior's weapon doesn't really appear in the actual RWBY story).
Both can latch on and seemingly become part of his armour, being attached to his back. His third is the armour itself.
His armour is a very advanced model loosely based off the Atlesian military standard issue uniforms. His helmet does cover his head, only leaving the bottom half of his face visible and hiding his eyes. His helmet contains almost all feats of technology from night vision to heat sensors to video recorders and facial recognition software. All the armour itself is made of Silver metal. His chest piece and arm guards are made of silver, and his combat pants are black in colour, as well as his boots being silver and leg guards.
He is essentially a One Man Army - a new term for this AU.
OMAs are special warriors whose skills are so great they can best entire teams of huntsmen and huntresses. For comparison, Soldiers are Army, Huntsmen and Huntresses are the Marines, and OMAs are the Navy Seals. However, Silver doesn't only make it through his technology alone. His suit has many, many abilities, which will be revealed later, but it's also his strength. He can be argued to be one of the strongest individuals in the whole of Remnant.
For now, I hope this goes well. I sometimes have writers block sometimes, so updates might range from days to weeks. It becomes increasingly hard to continue stories after a certain number of chapters for me. I can't promise frequent updates. Leave a review if you like the idea, if you don't, and if so why. Just… no hate comments. Please? But in the meantime, enjoy!
