He didn't know the first thing about running a school, nor fixing a political disaster spanning all of Remnant. Hell, he didn't even know how to deal with the world-ending conspiracy in the background, let alone a former-headmaster-possessed child. Yet here he was, leading Beacon Academy into a new age of glory. Or ruin. Definitely a fair chance of the latter…

Jaune had always wanted to go to a school to learn to battle the creatures of Grimm. But as a boy with no huntsmen training, no huntsmen knowledge, and no huntsmen transcripts, he had absolutely no chance of getting into a school like that legally. After scouring the darkest corners of the CCTNet, he finally found a lead. A place called Grimm Academy. Cover art by RKS-Kogiro.

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.

Although taken in by Raven and her Tribe as a kid, Jaune never saw eye to eye with the Spring Maiden, for both practical and moral reasons. When Raven sends him to Beacon to spy on Ozpin, Qrow, and Yang, Jaune must decide what lines he is willing to cross in order to become his own master. What good is being a better person than Raven if you're too weak to break free from her?

Something unexpected happened to me. I'm stuck inside the body of the (future) greatest thief in Vale, with the power of The Gamer given to me for some unknown reason. All in all, it could be worse. For now I have given myself a mission, actually being the greatest thief in Vale! I also need to screw over Cinder, save Pyrrha and Penny, and not end up dead in the process.

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.

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 always wanted to be a hero, that's why he enrolled into Beacon hoping it will give him the chance to do so. What he got was a rejection letter for his troubles. Now living in Vale with no direction Jaune asks himself if he will ever have the chance to be what he dreamed to be. Turns out his question was answered with a spider bite.

Ash Ketchum has been determined to become the best since he was a toddler. He has his eyes set on a charmander, but a twist of fate led him to the humble Nidoran. Note: Mix between anime and the games.

Jaune Arc is the four-time Vale Tournament Champion - an accomplished fighter. The fans love him - he's a star, a prodigy. In real life? He's a socially awkward dork who couldn't talk if his life depended on it. Maybe, though, things will be better at Beacon. He'll find a team, make friends, get a girlfriend, and save the world!

Jaune Arc succumbed to an explosion that was a mixture of feline DNA and Dust—Nora's fault—and it ended up turning him into an extinct Faunus. News traveled fast of the newly created Faunus, the Saber-Tooth Cat. The Faunus community and The White Fang were undoubtedly shaken up, none more than Sienna Khan and Blake Belladonna. One wanted to recruit him. The other wanted to help.

Everyone but Jaune Arc failed the initiation. Ozpin was speechless. He knew the boy's transcripts were fake, indulged the act, but never foresaw this outcome. Now the numbers were skewed, and a team wasn't possible. Exploiting his forgery would backfire. No, he reluctantly folded the hand Fate bestowed upon him. The Arc must explore Beacon Academy alone.

Combat schools spend millions on creating the newest generation of Hunters. They had forgotten the old way, the hard way...the right way.

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?

She was a harbinger of darkness, a killer, a monster...and she was happily married to a man who had no idea.

Pyrrha was good at reading people. It was the result of years of combat training. In a battle, being able to predict what move an opponent is going to make just by looking at their eyes and body posture is the key to being a great warrior. So when Jaune started acting differently when it came to her, she noticed almost immediately. Cover art (and inspiration) by mrk50 on tumblr.

Gamemaster Ruby only wanted to get her players out of their rut and playing something different.

Jaune Arc was a sweet and innocent boy, who wouldn't harm a fly. So no one would ever suspect him of murdering a team. That's just impossible...right?
