There was a wild colonial boy, Jack Duggan was his name
A young man with reddish brown hair walks along the dirt path with a backpack slung over his shoulder.
He was born and raised in Ireland, in a place called Castlemaine
The young man passed along trees and grassy fields. Along the way, an old shepard with his flock of sheep waves to him and yelled "Hello Roy!" The boy waves back to the kind Shepard.
He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy And dearly did his parents love the wild colonial boy
The boy arrives at his house where he drops his bag at the doorstep. He walks into the kitchen where his father surprises him by ruffling his hair playfully. His mother also appears and lightly kisses him on the cheek, even though she's a bit shorter than him. There's a warm meal waiting for him in his spot at the table, as well as a birthday present. He looks back to see both of his parents smiling at him and saying "Happy Birthday, Roy Jackduggan".
At the early age of eighteen years, he began his wild career
The boy, now a teenager, stands at attention in a line full of soldiers. Despite being younger and shorter than most others, he was still one of the most focused and well trained.
Upon a horse he rode away, With a smirk that knew no fear
The soldier stood in the back of an assault jeep. He worked the mounted turret in he back, mowing down dozens of Grimm with a smirk on his face.
He robbed the rich, to help the poor, he stabbed James MacEvoy A terror to Australia was the wild colonial boy
At one point in his career, the soldier helped lift a Faunus child over a wall during an emergency evacuation in a storm. There was even a time when he and more soldiers were sent to stop a criminal and his organization. During that time, the soldier ran up behind Roman Torchwood and stabbed him twice in the side. It wasn't a fatal stab, but one that was remembered by him and his crew.
One morning on the prairie, as Jack he rode along
The young man was out patrolling alone on the borders of the forest one afternoon.
A-listening to the mocking bird, a-singing a cheerful song
As he patrolled, he noticed a bird in the trees. He watched it with a smile. However, his smile faded as the bird flew away, and he sensed the presence of someone or something else.
Up stepped a band of troopers: Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy, They all set out to capture him, the wild colonial boy
The soldier tuck and rolled out of the way as two bullets zoomed past him. They both missed his body, but one knocked his rifle off of his back. Before he could get off the ground, something from above nearly struck him down. He moved out of the way but received what felt like a kick to his chest. As he stood up, three figures approached him. They were known as Cinder Fall, Mercury Black, and Emerald Sustri. However, illusions blurred the figures of them all, leaving only colored silhouettes.
Surrender now, Jack Duggan, for you see we're three to one.
Mercury put his fist up and took a fighting stance, tapping the heel of his foot three times.
Surrender in the Queen's high name, you are a plundering son
Emerald grinned as she switched her dual pistols into their dual bladed Kusarigama form.
Jack drew two pistols from his belt, he proudly waved them high. "I'll fight, but not surrender," said the wild colonial boy
Although he couldn't see what they looked like, he could tell they were getting ready to fight. The soldier removed his helmet, and tossed it to the ground. After a few proud seconds, he reached for his guns at his waist. One was the standard Atlesian pistol each soldier received, and the other was an old revolver that was given to him by his grandfather. As soon as his guns were drawn, Emerald and Mercury rushed him.
Jack fired a shot at Kelly, which brought him to the ground
Even with a disadvantage, the boy shot and managed to nail Mercury in the leg. He must've hit him just right, as his mechanical knee gave out and Mercury fell onto his side.
And turning round to Davis, he received a fatal wound
The soldier hadn't forgotten about Emerald. However, he neglected to remember the third silhouette. As he turned around to meet Emerald, a sizzling noise entered his ears. Emerald's silhouette stopped right in front of him, as did the soldier.
A bullet pierced his proud young heart, from the pistol of Fitzroy And this is how they captured him, the wild colonial boy
He looked down to his chest where a fiery arrow stuck out from his heart. His eyes narrowed to the blurry image of Cinder, where she still had her bow raised. Everything seemed to fall and turn dark. The three villains watched as the soldier fell on his side. His body grew cold and limp as he collapsed. The darkness eventually overtook him, and the world around him was no more.
So this is something I wanted to do for my RWBY OC. I have his info written elsewhere, and I also RP him on Tumbler. The song I used for this chapter was "The Wild Colonial Boy". It had various versions to the lyrics, but I stuck to the Irish version, or at least the Irish version I grew up with. To get a feel for the song, look up the song "Wild Colonial Boy", by "Oliver Cane". Anyways, this character IS based off of the Wild Colonial Boy. I'll get to writing more about him in later chapters, and I'll use another song to help get a better feel for him.
