Author's Note: Not another chapter but please do read. It contains some nice info about Allen.
Character Profile: Allen Rho
Gender:
Obviously male
Age:
About 17
Backstory:
Besides the description nothing will be explained here, stay tuned.
Powers:
Control over the elements fire, ice, earth, wind naturally. This is unlike how Weiss creates elements via glyphs. He only has slight control over these elements creating a small part of the element.
This is enhanced by his mechanical suit, as it courses with dust, i.e. why a change in light occurs when he changes, this changes the type of dust.
Dust enhances his elemental strength allowing him to actually use the elements to fight.
Weapon:
Revolver/Blade combo, self-explanatory
Mechanical Suit powered by an aura reactor, the glowing thing in the chest plate. The suit is designed specifically for using the elements in battle, it gives him various passive enhancements when he changes dust types in conjunction with using his elements. Unfortunately he can only maintain the elemental states for a while before reverting back to normal as it puts incredible strain on his aura to maintain it. Due to physical limitations he can only maintain it for a good half an hour.
White is default form, first appearance shows jet thrusters instead of projectiles. The jets can be used in all forms.
Fire element to Red colour, gains all rounding enhancements, these are not as strong individually.
Ice to Blue colour, gains enhanced speed
Wind to Green colour, gains enhanced agility
Earth to Yellow colour, gains enhanced physical strength
Lesser important info:
A few neat facts about Allen's weapons, I decided to give him a revolver long sword type weapon as A, I find revolvers to be the pinnacle of coolness, B long sword katana like things are cool, C transforming weapons be awesome.
If you can't already tell whenever Allen transforms into an elemental state the watch says a voice. I myself took this inspiration from Kamen Rider, I'm a big fan of their shows especially Kamen Rider Wizard's rings with the phrases. Another thing ripped from Kamen Rider is the idea of teleporting armours.
Enough about Kamen Rider, as much as I would love to talk about it I have another thing to point out. I took after Iron Man's armour assembly and how it all creates itself from individual parts.
You might be wondering why I chose all of these mechanical / masked hero inspirations besides the fact that I mecha-based heroes. Well, I find it cool when you have crossover type characters with similar powers but are not directly related. I love it when other characters from different series use their various powers to fight against other characters. I myself find that I love the idea of two heroes just duking it out on the battle field with different powers and I find that the world of RWBY is the perfect place for these powers to duke it out. This is going to occur a lot in this fanfic, quite a bit of fighting will take place between the cast of team RWBY and JNPR with Allen.
This is meant to be semi-canon to the main plot of volume 1, I might do something when volume 2 is released but, I probably will go my separate path at some point.
Why'd I choose Rho for a last name? Well, besides being a physics thing i.e. resistivity of a resistor being read as Rho, I find that Rho sounds cool in my head. I'm open to opinions at this point for a last name, but, I kind need of need them before Allen returns with the artefact (chess piece).
Hint of trivia, Allen (Tale of Fate) and Andrew, (Detectives and Law Breakers) from my other fanfic, were originally supposed to be alternate versions of the same characters. But I've decided to change the name to Allen from Andrew in Tale of Fate as it would probably make more sense.
Now, if you've read down to here I have a question to you, the viewer.
What defines a fanfic as a crossover or as an inspirational crossover? What I mean by inspirational fanfic is what I'm doing by taking ideas from other heroes, i.e. Iron Man, Kamen Rider … .
