~ Vale ~
Near the outskirts of the City of Vale, was the Sapphire Orphanage, recently opened just twenty years ago by its founder, Hilda Sapphire. At its front door was a baby in a basket, clothed only in a snow-white cloth, that seemed to be enough for the baby. And though it was night and even snowing lightly, the baby didn't seem to be even slightly cold.
In fact, one could even say that the baby's eyes were colder. They were just like the eyes of a Hawk, sharp and powerful, and it was as if one stared at them for too long, they would find their very souls being looked at, bypassing any defence.
Other than that, the baby seemed rather normal, though the eyes meant that he was-
"My, my, who left you outside here?" A young woman, with sky blue hair and a cat tail, said, surprised that a baby would be left in the snow.
Picking him from the basket up to give him warmth, she began to observe the eyes, "Aww... Your eyes are so cute!"
Instantly attracted, she decided to give the baby a name, "I think I'll name you-" Before her eyes met with a piece of paper, written on it was a name.
"Roger Silvers? Hmmmph," She commented pouting slightly, wanting to have named the child, but she did relent as the baby began to cry a bit upon hearing it, "Fine, Roger Silvers, it is!"
First Person
Come'on same age as Yang and everyone else...
Huh, where am I?
Oh right...
So... I'm stuck here, for now.
Hey, there's a lady!
Please, don't be racist to Faunus, Please don't be racist to Faunus.
"My, my, who left you outside here?" She says it in the tone of a mother, or, elder sister. Kind of both. And, she as a... tail?
Oh thank god, otherwise, I'd be screwed.
I just hope my eyes-
"Aww... Your eyes are so cute!"
Well... Better than the opposite.
"I think I'll name you-"
Look at the name tag, look at the name tag, wait it's a piece of paper. Same thing, right?
"Roger Silvers? Hmmmph,"
So she did read it. Wait, what's that reaction? Roger Silvers is a great name. At least I think it is...
"Fine, Roger Silvers, it is!"
Yes!
Age: 1
Being a one year old is strange.
All you do is eat and go to the toilet, well, not the latter, but, you know what I mean.
You might also ask, wait, you didn't talk about crying!
Well, I don't cry. I don't have much reason to, normally I just stay still and don't do anything.
Whereas my fellow one year old's are crawling and forgetting to do so every few minutes or so, lightly banging their hands, causing them to cry.
Yeah, none of that happens to me.
What can potentially make me cry, however, is the rocking bed.
My god, that is terrifying.
Age: 2
Same old, same old.
Diaper, pacifier, and a rocking bed. The banes of my existence, though the last is also my greatest foe.
Also, I've noticed that the orphanage, is terribly built.
When I mean terribly, I mean... Any adult that's reasonably fit could come in here, and within ten minutes, he or she could destroy it with nothing, but, their hands.
The only thing that's really structurally sound is the roof. Pillars fall down sometimes, though, thankfully, the main four pillars are still going strong.
Though, I wonder, why is this place built so terribly...
Age: 3
Alright, it's been a good year. Well, other than the same old, nothing new has happened.
Ah right.
I found that why this place is built so terribly.
It was made for and by Faunus. Surprisingly, it was hand-built by a single Faunus woman, and without any government assistance or anything like that.
Actually, that makes me wonder. If this place wasn't built by or assisted by the government in any way, does this place even have the authority or legal status of an orphanage?
Like, I might not even be in the statistics or technically have citizenship, to where I have discovered to be Vale, and thank god, not Atlas.
I'm just going to hope, that this place does have the legal status of an orphanage.
If it doesn't.
Oh boy...
Age: 4
Dear diary.
There's this boy named Alex, he's my age.
And he's annoying as hell.
He has light blue eyes and blonde hair, and for some reason, I can't forget him.
Probably, since he's a dog Faunus, has a tail, and is the cutest thing I have ever seen.
And, for some reason, he's afraid of the orphanage lady. Who, I kind of stupidly, only found out this year, that her name is Anna Sapphire, or as we all call her, Ms Sapphire. She's also apparently the daughter of the orphanage's original founder, but, I don't know more than that.
Also, when I mean that Alex is afraid of Ms Sapphire. I mean he is afraid of her, like... Uh... Blake is afraid of Zwei.
Yeah, that's a good comparison? But, instead of a cat Faunus afraid of a dog. It's a dog Faunus afraid of a cat Faunus.
Age: 5
It took long enough, but, the other children in the orphanage, finally know fear.
By that, I mean that they were freaking out whenever they see my eyes.
Though, Alex, on the other hand, finds them quite cool.
Calling me lucky for having them, which is, kind of true.
I was rather lucky for finding them when I was changing my appearance.
He's still annoying though, but, he does have one redeeming factor.
He so goddamn reminds of me Luffy.
Also, he's adorable.
Third Person
Anna Sapphire. She was a twenty-seven-year-old woman, sky blue hair, light blue eyes and a tail of the same colour.
She always had a smile. She was that type of person. Strong, helpful, resilient, and could take a punch, and stand back up.
Some might say, that she was unlucky. She had the traits of a good person and was like one. But, was simply born in the wrong species, as they said.
But, that was they were wrong.
She knew she wasn't unlucky. She didn't have the traits of a good person, and she wasn't like one. She was a good person and an actual person. She wasn't born in the wrong species, and she knew.
But, not everyone else knew.
The world, Remnant, was a cruel place. The greatest enemy to both Human and Faunus was the soulless entity or monster known as the Grimm.
Despite it, Humans and Faunus chose to tear at each other, extort, rape, kill, and in time, they would destroy each other.
She looked upon her children, or so she decided to call them.
Alex, Roger, Alice, John, Raymond, Mai and Jade.
Seven children in total, and though she wasn't meant to have favourites.
She did with Mai being her favourite followed by Alex, the two of them were simply the best.
Though Alex was afraid of her, both him and Mai were always optimistic.
Always to see the best in people, never the worst.
Anna didn't know if Roger knew it, but he was different.
Very different, he was anti-social. Never the type to begin talking to people, always the one to finish his food first, then leave straight away.
More so, he was respectful, odd for a five-year-old. Also smart, like a prodigy. And strong, not like a child.
He never did smile either, and with his eyes, everyone was afraid of him.
Everyone except for herself, and Alex...
First Person
"Achoo!" It's cold, or someone must be talking about me.
Though it isn't snowing, it is rather cold outside, so it's probably the former. Hopefully.
Uhh... There's nothing to do... I've read all the books they have here since there's no television or anything.
There's another caretaker apart from Ms Sapphire, whose name is unknown to us, but, we call him Grandpa Jack, or Old Jack. I'm pretty sure that he is crazy, and is apart of the White Fang, which is according to Ms Sapphire a peaceful organisation.
Meaning that I'm at least born five years before the series...
Well, that's relieving to hear, I guess?
"Roger!" There's Alex right there.
Short, well, everyone is short as a five-year-old, though granted also, I'm the only other one that's five years old, two of the other kids are older and the rest are younger.
Currently, he's right into my face, invading whatever privacy I had, not that I cared.
But, you could really see his eyes from being so close.
Light blue, complements his hair.
Anyway, I should probably get him off me.
Moving my hands, I begin to try and push him off, as he reacts pouting, but eventually gives up and falls down gently.
You know, if he actually tried, I wouldn't be able to push him off.
Why? Well, let's look at my stats first.

He's a strong five-year-old.
That's all I got to say.

"Let's go play with the ball!"
"No," Looks, like I had more to say.
"Come'on!" Alex begins to complain and to be honest, it's hard to deny him when he does.
The main reason, he doesn't stop complaining.
He can go on for hours and hours, and the moment he does stop?
The crying begins, and every other kid in the Orphanage is against you for making him cry.
Well, they're mainly against me.
You know we also have a play that we do.
It's a small play, and it's about how an evil Grimm overlord takes a princess, and the father of the princess, the King (of course), tasks for a group of four warriors to take back his daughter.
Does this sound familiar?
If it doesn't, you were probably never read a storybook as a child.
Anyway, it's pretty much just like a fairy tale from my old world, just in this case, it's a Grimm instead of the evil king, or necessary bad guy for the plot to work.
And, guess who gets to play the evil Grimm overlord?
Probably, the guy that has scary eyes.
Yep, me.
...
...
...
It's with great reluctance, that I have made this choice.
To play ball with Alex.
By ball, I, of course, mean basketball.
With a soccer ball.
It's odd how we have a basketball court, but no basketball.
Also, odd, in that we have a soccer ball, but no soccer field.
Anyway, while we attempt to play basketball, there are a lot of the other kids staring at me.
Yeah, come here and try and fight me.
You won't, you're afraid of-
SFX: "Ooomph"
-my eyes.
"That was really fun! Throw it back!"
Alex says as he just threw the ball to my face.
Thus, the laughter begins.
You're laughing now, but, just wait.
Twenty years, no, I only need ten, and nobody will be laughing at me.
My name will be known as far as from Mistral all the way to Vale.
That's essentially east to west, right?
I think.
...
...
...
"Quick run, he's glaring at us!"
"He's going to hit us!"
"Run!"
Alice, Raymond and John.
I will remember you three.
"You will rue-"
"What are we playing now?!"
Oh fuck.
Alex is chasing me now as well, thinking it's some sort of game.
Well, time to run.
...
...
...
Alright, I've been running for about ten minutes.
Oi, don't judge me.
Also, I'm surprised my five-year-old body can even run for this long.
You know what, in all this running, some thoughts have been coming to my head.
Where the fuck was Alex in the anime?
What about this orphanage?
Everyone in the orphanage, where were they?
And, what were they doing? Surely not nothing?
I'm not in the wrong time, either, I'm pretty sure.
Unless the TVs on the window-side of the shops were lying.
Though I couldn't compare the years, I at least knew that White Fang was still a peaceful organisation and that Beacon was still standing.
Good enough for me, especially since there aren't a lot of things to compare with.
There was that RWBY game, but, can't remember it.
Anyway back to the point, where was Alex?
I mean, someone like him, could he even die that easily?
No. With his stats, he would have eventually probably just by growing to an adult, become rather strong.
Maybe, not as strong as a Huntsman, or enough to kill a-
Grimm...
Ah right.
I get it now.
The reason why Alex and everyone else at the orphanage never appeared in the anime?
It wasn't that they simply weren't doing anything.
They were probably dead.
Fuck.
It must have been an attack from the Grimm.
We were always on the outskirts of Vale, but still...
I suppose they didn't make it.
Well, it could have been humans as well.
I don't know. But.
Who knows, and who cares?
Oh wait, I do.
I suppose I could save them or something.
After all, they are my family.
Chapter Notes:
Differences with Original Prologue
1. Gave Ms Sapphire a different name. Also, she's the daughter instead of the granddaughter.
2. More development to side characters. Yes, they actually exist. I was surprised too.
3. Adam and Tukson. They don't appear in this chapter, and they probably won't for quite some time. Though there will definitely be mention of them, especially of Adam's 'incident'. Also, I've recently been on RWBY forums and etc. and it also appears that Adam's eye colour may soon be revealed, so I might have to wait a bit before I have him in the story. Or I could always give him the mask as a child.
4. Years will also be spread out more. Meaning that the next chapter will probably only be one year or something, maybe more, I don't know yet. At most, it'll be five years.
Notes in General
1. Roger is basically an adult in a baby's mind. He is without realizing, acting as he did as an adult, so not really playing with the other babies and kids his age.
2. Does it snow in Vale? It does now.
3. Roger will become crazy overtime. Don't worry.
4. I have foreshadowed as much as I could, so be on the lookout.
5. That moment, when you realize after 40,000 words of writing, and attempted emotional scenes, you still can't get write one, but you still try.
6. I was extremely tempted to put down an 'I am five and this is deep', near the end, but I chose not to...
7. Doflamingo's quote may not be the best, but... It was either that or Jaguar D. Saul's, which I was going to use, but am saving for later.
8. I MUST GET EXACTLY 3500 WORDS.
Important Note
1. Actually may not be important, but I want to make a point on how quickly Roger accepted his family. You actually see this a lot with Self-Inserts, in how they do quickly accept their new life and don't really cry too much about dying. Or is it just me? Anyway, the reason for Roger accepting his new family so easily and quickly is due to him seeing being reborn into Remnant as a sort of dream, something always desired. If you don't understand what I said, just remember Roger is crazy.

Reviews:
January 25th, 2019 (Chapter 1) [adislt]: Yes, the story is still Shounen Ai/Shoujo Ai. And following your advice, I did add a note in the summary. Though, I may get rid of it soon. I don't see any particular reason as to keep it if the audience dislikes Shounen Ai/Shoujo Ai, then they can stop reading. Also, RWBY has its own small hints of Shounen Ai and Shoujo Ai, the latter is obviously more prevalent and is virtually established. Ahem, White Rose, Bumblebee, Monochrome, Enabler, Ladybug, Freezerburn. The former, however, is also hinted, though, never established. According to RWBY Wiki, Michael Jones and Kerry Shawcross, the voice actors of Sun and Neptune respectively, have made it official that the ship name for their characters is "Sea Monkeys". That's probably as official as we'll ever get for Shounen Ai, but, it's good enough. There are also other, Shounen Ai pairings, of which, shall not be spoken off. At least not this early in the story.
January 25th, 2019 (Chapter 1) [CD123505]: As the name suggests, 'Charm' is a skill based on charming someone. It's not easy to charm someone when they're afraid of you. Also just to put it out there, Roger's eyes, are meant to be the same as Mihawk's, simply terrifying, and capable of freezing the enemy in their tracks with fear. So, it's unlikely that Roger's eyes would ever be alluring. Though it does sound like a good idea, and you aren't wrong, that it probably is a bit much, and I could've in hindsight, perhaps, scale it instead. Regardless, thanks for your feedback!
