When the rest of the family dies in a sudden Grimm attack, Saphron and Jaune are left to fend for themselves. Grimm attacks, bandit raids, near death experiences... In the end, they only have each other.

Being reincarnated is tiresome, especially into a world like Remnant. With the story being a good decade away there isn't really much to do... or at least that's what most people would think. I have the experience of an adult, the power of my soul, my mother's heritage and a peculiar Semblance due to my world skipping status at my back. Remnant better watch out because here I come.

When Jaune's forged transcripts were rebuffed, his only option was to return home in disgrace or forge a new life in Vale. Opening a diner was an impetuous decision, being good at it a stroke of luck. Becoming the favourite haunt for students, teachers and criminals alike…? That was neither, but it sure did keep things interesting. Wasn't the civilian life supposed to be easier?

Jaune had always dreamed of being a Hero, of being someone. But dreams were just that; for in the world of Remnant the Class you are born with determines your fate. Jaune was born a Blacksmith, and thus that was his destiny. But when a strange opportunity allows him to change that, can a simple Blacksmith become something more within the Beacon Academy for Heroes?

Jaune was only worried about two things in life; graduating from high school and dodging his hated bully. He didn't care about the supernatural, nor believe in it. But a chance encounter with a mysterious girl in red will open his eyes to a world that lives beside our own, a dangerous and deadly secret. But beware, child, for eyes once opened to the truth may never again be closed.

My name is Jaune Arc and I'm cursed. At least once a week, I am turned into a monster, a beast so horrifying tha- "Guys, Jaune turned into a little puppy again!" "Arf!" Yeah... what she said. (Coverart by KegiSpringfield)

Victory can prove bitter, especially when you're the only one alive to see it. With the world in chaos and everyone he ever loved dead, Jaune Arc makes a deal with the devil for one last chance to go back and change it all. But devils don't play by the same rules as humans, and Salem never did say how far back he'd go. Or how much deeper the war between her and Ozpin really went.

The Dust Eater Jaune Arc stands between two worlds. On one side is his people who are desperate and on the edge of extinction. On the other side is his duties as a student of Beacon. Can he find a way to balance out his responsibilities? Or will it come down like a house of cards. Also how can he make it through school when his partner is the daughter of his people's greatest foe?

Jake Fletcher wasn't always himself. Then he was Spider-Man because he can't keep to himself. Oh well, he always wanted adventures anyways. At least he still has friends by his side and an encyclopedic knowledge of tropes. (OC-SI story)

Born into the shady side of Vale, fighting since young, upholding high morals in an unreasonable world filled with malice and vice, one wonders what kind of power a man must have to not succumb to the dark side of the world. And yet Kazuma Kiryu is nothing short of the man who'll stop at nothing to protect those close to him. Even if Goro Majima wants to tag along.

-For the Record- Surviving a plane crash? Not enough. Being hunted by super predators? Not even close. Hopping worlds? Why not? I'll see that, and raise getting recruited by a woman who fashions herself a goddess. OC/I

Jaune Arc woke up in his hotel room. His head hurt, he was cuddling with Miss Goodwitch, and he…. wait a minute. What! Why was he cuddling with Glynda? Why do they have wedding rings on their hands? What happened last night? (Coverart by KegiSpringfield)

Kazuma Kiryu didn't think he had much left to do in his life in regards to fighting. But as it turns out, he still had a lot more work to do. But this time, he'll be the one to help share the burden with a broken hero. (SPOILER ALERT: Yakuza 6 endgame spoilers)

After her failure at the battle of Haven, Cinder Fall is stripped of her power and left to die in the depths of the Havens underworld. With only hate and spite, Cinder endures and through unlikely guidance, she begins her road to recovery and vengeance. Post Volume 5 AU

Getting murdered while trying to kill yourself is bad luck. Getting reincarnated after that is just a bad joke. But Toonami reruns and cheap commissions info have taught her this world has plenty of chances to get yourself killed. It can't be that hard. "So you're actually trying to die?" "Yes." "You know you're his nakama now, right?" "So?" "...Good luck with that." Oc/?

After spending nearly a decade in the underworld, the youngest son of Sparda accidentally stumbles his way out. "Pirates, Marines and Devil Fruits!...Sounds like the makings of a party!" Rated M for blood, violence and sheer badassery.

As the Hunts-Man, Jaune was used to getting into tight spots while fighting the forces of evil. When he found himself caught in the clutches of his foe Neo, he knew that he had to endure and take all the punishment she could dish out on him. Cover art by Exvnir.

Being reborn in the world of RWBY means that the Grimm are your natural enemies. My case is the complete opposite. I'm not really sure who I pissed off in my previous life but being reborn as a Beowolf was definitely not something I expected. (SI)

When Jaune Arc was just a small child, his mother gave him a tiny seed to grow and nurture as a way to learn responsibility. His father gave him a useless Dust Shard to study power and focus. Only problem, the little Arc had wrongly misinterpreted their lessons and ended up creating Remnant's one and only Dust-Dust Fruit.

Inspired by Coeur Al'Aran's Professor Arc story, this asks the simple question: What if Jaune had actually attended the Vacuo Academy for Gifted Youths as he claimed? Between a fake resume, a sociopath for a partner, criminal contacts, White Fang agents, and overall bad luck... it's going to take everything he's got keep his cover at Beacon.

Yang lost more than just an arm at Beacon. She lost her partner, her team and even her career. But more than that, she lost her dreams and the will to keep on fighting. But when old enemies reveal themselves, and a plot spanning Kingdoms starts to unravel, Yang will soon have to decide just how far she is willing to go to protect those she loves.

Weiss needed a significant other for a meeting between her father and some powerful business people. Sun needed a way to convince Blake to go with him to the school dance. Luckily, Blake has a solution to both problems. Sun pretending to be Weiss' boyfriend wasn't what he or Weiss would have ideally wanted, but how hard could it be? It's not like there were any feelings involved.

Every family has its odd member, the one that doesn't fit. Jaune was just that, the black sheep. He had always wanted to be the hero, to be a Huntsman. But when your name is Jaune Salem Arc - Prince of the Grimm - and your mother is understandably against the idea, what is a young man to do? Why, run away to attend Beacon in pursuit of a dream, of course. What could go wrong?

Jaune wasn't a very skilled individual, often in the shadow of his talented seven sisters. Yet despite his lack of ability, he was desperate to contribute to his family name in some capacity. It was then that he discovered another role on the battlefield against the Grimm - as a field medic. In his second year at medical school, Jaune is handpicked to follow a team at Beacon.

One day, a young student of Signal Academy receives a package from home, containing the journal of a long dead relative. But what is Jaune Arc going to do with said journal, and how will it change not only his world, but that of those around him?

Yang Xiao Long has been expelled from Beacon, a powerful new weapon is unleashed upon the world, and the flames of conflict fuel one lost soul's thirst for revenge. Leaving her friends and family behind, Yang must find a new path in a Remnant on the brink of war and come face to face with a fate written into her very genes.

This series may be over, though you can still read the rewritten version of this story under its new name. "RWBY: New World Hope" I hope to see you all there for this new redux of a familiar story with a familiar character.

Dante and Vergil dove towards the depths of the Demon World for Sparda's last relics. But while diving towards the portal, the two brothers were unaware that the portal they dove into didn't lead to the inner depths of the Demon World. Will the brothers set aside their differences? Or will they continue fighting for the sake of power? (DISCONTINUED SINCE OCT 27/18)

It was said one met their Destiny on the road less traveled. For Jaune Arc this road led away from Beacon Academy and toward a path of mystery, adventure, friendship, and secrets itching to be unearthed. What legends lied over the next horizon? Only by taking that first step forward would he learn and find out. And maybe, just maybe, end up becoming the hero of his story.

Jaune Arc, Field Agent of the VSS - Vale's Secret Service, or at least that's what he's been told. All he knows is that they found out about his faked transcripts, and now he works in the interests of the Kingdom. With terrorists on the horizon, not to mention a shady organisation and an even shadier group operating under Ozpin, what's a bumbling teen turned secret agent to do?

Yang wasn't used to leadership, but she wasn't going to accept Ozpin's suggestion of mandatory rest either. Not when it meant losing her spot on Team RWBY. If she had to lead a rookie squad of police officers against the White Fang to prove she could still fight, then so be it. Too bad no one told her the VSPR was made up of Vale's worst criminals, many of which she knew by name.

His genius and hubris nearly got his faithful assistant Pyrrha killed. Now Jaune Arc will have to clean up his act in order to save her and together with her save the world. Iron Man Fusion but not in the way you might think.

Jaune was a hunter, hunting animals from a young age. Not Grimm, and never people. Not like the so-called 'real' Hunters he wanted nothing to do with. But when an absent sister asks him to help rescue a missing student, Jaune Arc and Lie Ren will both have to put aside their differences and learn what it means to be true Huntsmen if they're to survive the Grimmlands.

Qrow: Kid you're not fast, not strong, and ain't got no semblance. So we're going to make you mean.

Jaune had no interest in Ozpin's latest training initiative, especially when it pit boys against girls across Beacon. Cowardice or not, he intended to hide and wait the whole thing out. Leading the male alliance wasn't part of the plan, nor was becoming mankind's final hope. He was a coward, an idiot and a weakling. It was just a shame no one would believe him when he said so!

Seasons 1, 2 and 3 of RWBY, told through the eyes of Russel Thrush and his team. Friendship, drama, (hopefully) some humour to build up some characters with a lot of potential who, at the moment in the show, are fairly 2D. CRDL-centric, but with plenty of interaction with the other teams. Russel/Yang ultimately.

Since the ascension of my Queen and her disappearance, I've taken the mantle of leading the Zerg Swarm. Now with the new age of peace and prosperity between all three races of the Koprulu Sector, I grew… bored, wishing for a something to happen. However, my pleas were answered as I find myself on another world. A world where champions are born.

It had started as a simple bet. Train the boy in order to prove her own superiority over her peers. It had all been going so well for Weiss. So how was it that Jaune became so entangled in her personal life, and she in his? And why did he seem to be the only person who understood just what she was running away from?

Ever since my Queen's ascension to Godhood and her disappearance, I've taken the mantle of leading the Zerg Swarm. Now with the new age of peace and prosperity between all three races of the Koprulu Sector. I grew... bored and wished for something to happen. Unfortunately for me, something did happen. Like the old Terran saying "be careful what you wish for."

It has been so long since I remembered who I once was. All I remember was when I took up my sword for the first time, pledged my undying loyalty to the Eternal God Emperor, and too slay each and every heretic and daemon that dare oppose his righteous rule. Now I find myself on a world embroiled in darkness. A world that was once my home.

Second Seat of the Elite Ten Rindou Kobayashi has always marched to the beat of her own drum. Unconventional, unorthodox, and with a playful persona - Rindou could never find the appeal of a rather boring, cooking school. Nothing held her attention for long, that is, until a particular transfer student came along…

Jaune Arc didn't know what to think when he got paired with Yang Xiao Long as her roommate. Granted, he didn't know what to think when he found out how loud she could be at night. Still, he was an adaptable guy and took it all in stride. So now why is it that she keeps stealing his jacket? And why does she hide in wait on his bed and beg him to have some fun?

Jaune's seven sisters are possessed by the swords passed down the Arc family lineage and it is now up to him to save them.

Alcohol is a presence in all aspects of Humanity and Faunuskind. It breaks, helps, and heals. The people who serve it find they're the people who can help. After a rejection at Beacon, Jaune finds his place to belong at a bar, hoping to recover from his past mistakes by helping others in need. Cover: Hanisu93

When Jaune woke up back in his house with his sisters and family, all he could do was sigh. Every time he died he was forced to start over again, and this was what... the one thousandth time? More? If it doesn't matter how hard he tries, doesn't matter how much he fights. Then maybe it's time to just kick back and enjoy himself. Fate can find someone else to be its whipping boy.

Yang knew better than to look for love in a bar. She was neither foolish nor naive. But when a chance encounter leads to a meeting with a mysterious dancer that has her heart racing, it can be hard to resist. For Jaune, the life he wanted was that of a hero, but such a life required training and the money to pay for it. What is a man to do, but make use of the few talents he has.

He didn't know the first thing about teaching, Hell, he didn't even know the first thing about fighting! A shame then, that his forged documents painted the picture of an accomplished and skilled warrior. Now he's trapped teaching students his own age how to be hunters, when he doesn't even know himself!

After experiencing a tragic event in his childhood, Jaune Arc wanted to become strong. He succeeded, perhaps TOO successful, but he did it. After traveling the world for years to use his incredible strength for good, Jaune Arc, 18 years old, will embark on a new journey, started by a fateful meeting with one Cinder Fall...
