Sooooooo. Let's recap. I died, which is a strange beginning to any story that you are trying to tell, I was brought to a void like place and given the powers of the gamer, which makes my life like a video game and is super freaking awesome! Got transported to the world of Remnant, and when I did almost immediately got eaten by some beowolves, ran for my life, and met Qrow Branwen…. This is why I passed out as soon as I got the chance after I met the huntsman.
After he killed the beowolves we began to walk through the forest. The sun began to shine above us as it just started to become around noon. Qrow was actually quite the story teller. He told me about how he slayed a Nevermore with his best friend Taiyang, how he was launched off a cliff while wearing a skirt, and about the countless girlfriends he had in the past. Every story was a joy to listen to. But then he changed the subject to me.
"So. What about you kid? I have been telling you about myself, what about you?" He asked. My brain began to think quickly of any sort of backstory that could be used for this life. Robin…. Robin…. Robin Hood! I could take inspiration from Robin Hood!
"My parents were simple farmers. They lived not far from here actually. One day a group of bandits came and stole all of my parents belongings and they told me to run…. I was able to take out one of the bandits by sneaking up on them but the others found my parents. I got scared…. And I ran. I couldn't save them." I started to "tear up" to sell my story. "I have been wandering the forest for about two months and stealing from anyone who looked rich enough to steal from and sharing it with anyone who was poor or couldn't afford to get by."

I technically wasn't lying. I was….. stretching
Qrow looked down at me and blinked. He kneeled to my height and sighed. "You've been alone? Hmmm…. I think I have an idea." He said, to my knowledge, completely buying my story. This had to be the best lie I have said yet! Qrow stood to his feet and began to walk some more. "You aren't safe with me, but I think I have a place where you can stay until we can find you an actual place to stay."
I rubbed my eyes and nodded, giving a small smile. "T-Thank you! This helps so much!" I said, jogging a bit to catch up with him. He nodded and looked forward, not saying a word after I told my story. Told you Charisma was a good pick.
We continued walking in silence for about 2 hours until we reached civilization. It wasn't big at all, most people living in small tents or very cheap looking houses. Their was a lot of shading looking people in this village, so I kept near Qrow. I don't feel like getting robbed when I don't have a single dolla- Lien to my name. I also took this time to check out Qrow's stats.
"Observe." I thought as a small, translucent box with white letters appeared in front of my face. His stats were… geez he is so freaking powerful!
[Name: Qrow Branwen]
[Level: 66]
[Species: Human]
[Title: Bad Luck Charm]
[HP: 750]
[STR: 154]
[LUK: -30]
A a hundred and fifty four in strength!? Just how strong is this guy!? I have a five in strength! What is this bull crap!?
Well he is level 66 and I am level 1. So that checks out. After I saw Qrow's stats we arrived to a very run down looking tavern. He looked at me and went to open the door. "You are gonna stay here. I have to finish up this job and then we are heading off." And then he walked into the door.
I blinked and nodded, sitting on the step of the porch as I drummed my fingers on my legs. My fox ears could hear the conversations in the tavern and good god I wish I didn't. It was just a bunch of grown men talking about stupid stuff and shouting. Most of them had to be drunk. I covered my ears and sat in the corner. The door swung open, revealing a very large, man that looked to be drunk off of his ass. I blinked at him and he began to turn.
"Y-You can't kick me out! Hic! I'm leavin'!" He exclaimed and then turned to me. He stared at me and I stared at him, then he saw my ears. A devilish smirk spread across his face as he stumbled towards me.
"Well lookey what we have here." He picked me up by the neck and pinned me against the wall. "What is a fuckin' animal doing all alone?" He asked, beginning to squeeze tighter. For being a drunk man he was so FREAKING strong. I began to kick and squirm to try and get out. I tried to yell for Qrow but nothing happened. I AM NOT BEING KILLED BY A DRUNK!
"Put the kid down." I heard a familiar voice say behind the Fat Bastard. It was Qrow. The fat man flared at Qrow and put me down. "And why are you defending this animal?" He asked, to which Qrow just simply answered by punching him in the face. I swear I saw a tooth fly out of his mouth as he was sent toppling down the stairs of the stairs. I looked to Qrow wide eyed and smiled. "You are the coolest person I have ever met." I said, regaining my breath for now. I need to get some sort of weapon soon.
"No problem Kid. We're gonna need to get you something to protect yourself." Qrow shook his head and began to walk through the city. I quickly followed him and looked around the shops. I saw a small shop in the corner of my eye. I quickly activated Shadow Stealth, and stole a bright red hat with a feather in it. I knew it wasn't a good thing to do but it would help me not get attacked by racists for now.
The next thing I saw would probably be the coolest thing I have ever seen in this life or the life before. I gazed at a real life bullhead, my eyes went wide as Qrow just walked forward. "You gonna come inside or are you gonna just admire the thing?" He asked. I laughed lightly and followed him in. The interior wasn't much. It was just a dark grey room with seats and a few tables. The only thing that I was really interested in was looking out the window.
I have always loved heights and never been on any sort of airplane so I was glued to the window as long as I was awake. The bullhead began to lift off and Qrow sat beside me, quickly taking a nap. I laughed and looked at him. "Hehehehehe. Sucker. He's gonna be there asleep while I enjoy this nice bullhead ride."
I was asleep in under five minutes after I said that. Give me a break, I died and got reincarnated and ran for my life all in under a day. Anyways, as I went to get some shut eye, I began to dream. Or in more detail….. I began to have a nightmare.
I was standing in the closet that I was hiding in before I died. I had no were to go and I heard a horrifying scream. A scream that came from the other side of the closet. My shaking and scared hand pushed the door open and there, laying on the bed, was my mom. She had a large open wound in her chest and was gasping from her breath. Blood poured out of stomach as she looked at me. I rushed over to try and stop the bleeding and but she just muttered. "You could have saved me….. why didn't you save me ****" The name she said was a name I couldn't understand, like it was some sort of different language. My mother's eyes began to go a crimson red as jet black veins spread across her face. She rose up from the bed, standing at a 15 feet tall and her hands grew crimson red claws. "YOU COULD HAVE SAVED ME!" She exclaimed as she stabbed her hand through my chest. I began to feel weak, like this wasn't a dream. I then felt a small shake and a voice beginning to call me out of my nightmare. I slowly began to reawaken.
"MOM NO!" I quickly shot up and looked around, feeling the sweat dripping from my brow. My tan skin was pale as I began to feel like I was gonna throw up. I was shaking and looked around frantically. I wasn't on the bullhead. I was on some sort of comfy bed, the interior of the room was a warm amber color, and there were three paintings near an open window. Two beds, one of them I was on and the other was empty. I looked around and looked at my hands. "W-Where am I….?" I asked, looking around. "S-Stats."

"Huh…" I looked at my stats increase. My agility was and charisma was really good and I need my Dexterity to be a bit better. I tried to keep my mind off of the nightmare. I tried to just focus on my stats but… it was hard. I don't even know if my mom is alive and my death was in vain. I….. I just want my family to be okay.
Then the door opened. And….. my god. A beautiful young girl, around the age of 16 walked into the room. She had lilac eyes and extremely long blonde hair. She wore a yellow tank top and brown pants. She stared at me for a few minutes and then looked out the door. "Daaaad! The guys awake!" She looked back to me and smiled lightly. She went to say something to me before a blonde man, probably in his thirties ran into the room and immediately looked at me.
"So! You are the kid Qrow brought in?" He asked, looking at me with a small smile. I was speechless right now! Taiyang and YANG XIAO FREAKING LONG where right in front of me. I didn't know how to respond. My head hurt like hell, I was still scared shitless from the nightmare, and now these two are right in front of me. Yang slowly looked at Tai.
"Uhh…. Dad? Are you sure this guy is alright? Should we get a doctor or something?" She asked. Oh god! I look weird! I can't just sit here and do nothing!
"I'm alright! Uh….. Hi! I'm uh….. Robin." I said, mentally facepalming at myself. Great going! Now you seem weirder than you seemed normally. The Xiao Longs smiled at me and nodded, Yang extending her hand out towards me. "Heya! I am Yang Xiao Long! Welcome to our house!" She said with a happy grin. I shook her hand with a grin and nodded. "I'm Robin! Wait I already said that….. Uh…. How did I get here?"
"Qrow brought you here after you landed. You seemed to be having some sort of nightmare so we put you in here." He said as a small black and white Corgi cake dashing into the room and pouncing on the bed, barking at me I guess happily? I never understood dogs.
"Zwei! Be nice to our guest!" Yang said as the dog began to climb on my stomach and lick my face. I laughed and patted the Doggo. "Hey he likes me!" I said with a giant giant grin. I may not understand dogs, but I do love them, a lot. This got a laugh from Yang and Tai, but then I heard something with my Fox Ears. A sound of a slow and quiet footsteps coming down the hallway as a certain silver eyed girl looked into the room.
The girl had short black hair with the tips of her hair dyed red. She wore a black and red battle skirt and a black and red cloak to match. She was very pale, which I found very strange until I remembered that Ruby was extremely pale in the series. Ruby Rose… Beacons Silver Eyed Warrior. We locked eyes for around 2 minutes straight before one of us said something. I was the first to speak.
"Uh…. Hi. I am Robin." I said with a welcoming smile, hoping my charisma would save me at a time like this. Sure enough, Charisma prevailed and Ruby stayed close to Yang but gave a smile that matched mine somewhat.
"I'm Ruby! It's nice to meet you."
That's the second chapter! Hope you all enjoyed it and continue to stick around for more of this fic because I have a LOT of plans for this story!
Tetsujinvinalay: Well you are not wrong! Yeah I guess that sounds creepy. Robin has background knowledge on the RWBYverse and knows he can trust Qrow. But yeah! That sounds super creepy…
SirMaou: Thank you for seeing my mistake! That was from a previous draft and I guess I forgot to change that small piece. Thank you for noticing it so I can change it!
One last question that I want you, the Fans, to decide! Do you want Robin to join an OC team, or do you want Robin to join a canon team like RWBY or JNPR?
Welp! That's all for now. Hope you guys stick around for when the next chapter comes out! Ciao!
