Remember, this is not an actual chapter. This is something that I like to call "Fact list", as you already know, there is not chronological order in this story and the things in this list are things that are going to be mentioned in future chapters. But I ant everyone to know them beforehand because in that way I can work with the world building of this AU better, also there is an update about which characters and information of Vol. 4 and 5 are canon in this AU.

Canon update: As you may remember I said that Blake's parents, Ghira and Kali, plus Weiss's butler, Klein, were going to be the only Vol. 4/5 things that I was going to count as canon in this universe, well there is an update about this. Ren and Nora past and Sienna Khan existence and assasination are also canon in this universe. The first one is because of Noren, since those events are going to explain the origin of his name and help to give more meaning to a scene that him and Ren are going to share in a future chapter. The second one is canon just because until now I did not have a single clue of how the White Fang was organized.

I repeat aside for the things previously mentioned, Vol. 4, 5 and 6 are not canon in this universe, any character or information given to us during those volumes doesn't exist here. Now I can start with the fact list.

Birth and rise of the Black Fang (these events took place during Beacon reconstruction)

After being defeated by Blake and Yang, plus the fact that he never heard of Cinder and her group ever again. Adam decided that it was time to do things his way. With the ideology that humans should be faunus' slaves and with the fact that a big part of the White Fang already saw him as the future leader, Adam killed the current White Fang leader Sienna Khan, told everyone that the culprit was a human hunter and become the leader of the White Fang. For his surprise there were a considerable amount of faunus that did not share his ideology and were tried of all the violence. This led to the creation of two factions, Adam's followers and the faunus that were done with the violence. The two factions were later known as Black side and White side respectively.

A fight between the two factions was unavoidable since Adam wanted to hunt down the ones who were against him. He did not want to kill them, he just wanted to capture and make them change their minds…by force.

Blake found out about all of this when one of her friends, who was in the White side, send her a letter explaining the situation and asking for her help. Of course Ruby and the others decided to help her and so Team RWBY traveled to Menagerie and joined te White side, meeting Blake's parents in the process. Although Ghira and Kali had stopped being White Fang members a very long time ago they had decided to help the White side. Several faunus agreed with the help that Ruby, Weiss and Yang were giving to them, since there were humans, and thought about the irony of how now faunus were fighting against each other.

The fight between the White side and the Black side took place in the White Fang base, during this fight Adam received his second defeat at the hands of Blake and Yang. Shortly after that Adam and his followers fled from Menagerie, the next time that RWBY heard of them, they were calling theirselves the Black Fang. A more darker and violent version of the White Fang that did not hesitate to kill innocents to show their power, the Black Fang began to be know for they terrorists acts. Ironically thanks to them, people quickly learn the difference between the faunus that wanted to coexist with humans and the faunus that did not wanted this.

This made the White Fang to gain support for a lot of people around Remmant while the Black Fang was put into the "Most wanted" list of Remmant.

The White Fang/Atlas Army/Schnee Dust Company Alliance origin and current state (WF/AA/SDC Alliance for short)

Since RWBY had played a big role during the White vs Black battle, there were several faunus that wanted Blake as the new White Fang leader. Knowing that his daugther would never accpet that offer, Ghira decided to become the new leader, there was no objection about that. Thanks to Ghira and Kali the White Fang become the White Fang that every single person pre-RWBY era knew. Still, Blake could not help herself but worry about her parents safety, after all they could be attacked by the Black Fang. Weiss noticed this and she did not think twice, she called Winter with the hope that her superior, General James Ironwood, could help.

Ironwood decided to help, since he owed SSMR one for helping him. The help that the Atlas army gave to the White Fang was, in Ironwood own words, not the big thing. They just investigated the current and future members of the White Fang just for make sure there was no a Black Fang member trying to work as a double agent and providing Ghira and Kali bodyguards for keep them safe. Surprisingly Ghira and James become good friends.

By the time Raven, Mia, Summer and Silver were five, four and three respectively, Jacques decided to give his support to the, at that moment, White Fang/Atlas Army Alliance. Things like giving money and inviting Ghira, Kali and some members of the White Fang to every single SDC's event become something really normal in a matter of months. There were rumors amout the press about how Jacques Schnee had decided to do that just for make himself and his Company look good. People that knew him knew the real reason for that suddenly support, he wanted his granddaugthers to grow up in a safe world, Silver kind of encouraged him to do that but that is something that only Klein and James know.

Reconnected with his daugthers, be a grandfather, have accepted the fact the he was now slightly related to a fauns and knowing that Ghira and Kali were part of his family surely changed the man's attitude. He become good friends with Ghira and Kali, there was no much to say about his relationship with Ironwood since they already know each other.

Currently, the WF/AA/SDC Alliance is well know in Remmant. Jacques and Ironwood are currently helping Ghira and Kali looking for someone willing to be the next White Fang's leader, it's no like Ghira is going to leave the job any time soon, but the four of them want to have someone in mind.

Adam and Black Fang current status

By the time that Raven, Mia, Summer and Silver were seven, six and five, and after several faunus/human couples received threatening letters from the Black Fang, the WF/AA/SDC Alliance decided to start their "Capture Adam" plan. Jacques organized a false charity event in which the people who attended the event were Atlas soldiers and White Fang members in disguise, RWBY and JNPR were also there, disguised as bodyguards. The Black Fang soon attacked the event but they were surprised by such an elaborate trap, most of them were captured and as people were already expected, Adam was not with them. The captured members were subjected to an interrogation but none of them said the ubication of the Black Fang hideout or so they thought.

Surprisingly the seven years old daugther of a Black Fang couple was found in the scene, unlike the others Black Fang members the girl said everything she knew during the interrogation, the ubication of the hideout and where was Adam. After that the girl was put into foster care.

The attack to the Black Fang hideout was made by the Atlas army plus Blake and Yang, since they had fought against Adam twice. After his third fight against Blake and Yang, Adam was captured and sent to a maximum security prison. Of course this was not the end of the Black Fang, some members were able to escape and regroup in another place but the group's activities were weaker and no very often.

Adam is still in prision and there are some rumors surronding the Black Fang, one say that they are trying to make a plan to get their leader out of prison and other say that they are trying to find a new leader. None of them had been confirmed.

Penny current status

Sadly, Penny was not able to study in Beacon like she wanted. Actually some people in the army were against the idea of her leaving the base again, luckly Ironwood and Dr. Polendina were able to work something out for her. Penny completed her studies in the Atlas Academy and worked as a huntress for a couple of years until she found what she really wanted to do. Penny decided to become a teacher in Beacon, if she could not study there at least she could teach there. In order to do this some of her functions suffered a big downgrade and her apparence was slightly changed in order to make her look older.

She was more than welcome in Beacon, she's dreaming about the day in which she will be teaching Ruby's children. (Summer and Silver were seven and six when this event happened)

What the current generation knows about the Fall of Beacon.

For obvious reasons some information about the Fall of Beacon was censored, and by censored I mean the reason of why Cinder and her group attacked the school, as well as every single video of the Vytal Tournament of that time. The current generations don't know why the school was attacked but they know that the videos were censored because most of those fights were severely altered by the culprits, matches that should not had happened as well as tricks to disqualify other teams.

Two traits faunus.

As the name say, a two traits faunus is the one that is born with two animal traits instead of one. Normally this kind of faunus have ears and tail. The two traits were very common over 200 years ago, this was attributed to the large existence of pure blood families, families that were conformed of faunus of the same species. As the mix of faunus' species become more common the two traits slowly began to disappear.

Nowadays, pure blood families do not exist anymore but that does not mean that the two traits are extinct. They still exist but they number is less than 100 and thanks to the low number, people do not even known of their existence.

There is an old rumor surronding the two traits, a rumor that only the faunus know, if you have or are near a two triats you will be blessed with good luck. This rumor have turned the few two traits in good luck charms, think that annoy them because that make them feel like objects instead of actual living beings, this is also the reason of why the few of them had decided to no show theirselves and live in the shadows.

Just some extras.

In this AU, Jacques is Nick Schnee's son while his late wife, Ginko Ichigami, was the daugther of a most powerfull dust company, The Ichigami Company.

I may or may not write a story of how Jacques and Ginko met each other but in case I don't do it, this was Ginko personality: A hotheaded, carefree girl that always acted before thinking and she always said what was on her mind without carring for the consequences.

Well that's all about this fact list, I'll admit it, my undying love for the Laguz of Fire Emblem Path of Radiance made me create the two traits faunus and also the fact that I want to see a faunus with ears and tail in the canon but alas I'm more than sure that would never happen. Anyway now I can work with the rest of the chapters without any worry. See you next chapter, dunno what kind of story I'm going to give you next time but please wait for it.

Atte. Kaze-chan.
