"Mom! Mom! Please get up!"

"Shade...You will be a great hunter one day…"

Tears fill my eyes as I can see she will not make it.

"Just remember,"

She takes off her necklace and hands it to me.

"I will always be close to your heart…"

As her body falls limp, I can feel the aura leave her.

"I will get them, Mom. Every last one of them! Not just for you, but for everyone!"

I walk out of the house, take one look back, and just keep walking towards a new life...a better life.

Hello! Dark prologue huh? Well don't worry! Later in the series it will be a mixture of feelings. Sadness,joy,anger and love...even though there are plenty of RWBY love fanfics out there, this one is different. This is about my own character that me and my friend created. I will show you the character now actually…

Name: Shade Darkwater. Nickname: Corporal. Only person in the academy who doesn't have a team because he has all da ersome skills, can physically use aura like Lucario and has an aura sensing thing that can sense emotions as well.

Age:Just turned 16

Appearance: Leather jacket, blonde hair, blue eyes, physical aura is blue, katana blades are silver (duh) while the hilts are a cross of blue and black, blue jeans, combat boots (not combat skirt), hairstyle is like mine so longer than a buzzcut. Has mother's black necklace which is shaped like crossed swords. Mostly skinny with barely any muscles but can easily run faster then most people. Is the only faunus in family therefore most of his family disliked him except his mom,dad and sister. His faunus traits are hawk-like eyes that improve sight. He can switch from "regular" eyes to hawkeyes when chosen to but when enraged the hawkeyes will always show.

Vehicle: 1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop, silver blue paint, front and back seats match colour of the outside and is made of leather, and HER NOT ITS name is Joy.

Personality: Shy especially when around girls but if someone does become friends with him he will protect them from anything. He tends to stay away from crowds and is almost the quiet type in a conversation with people he barely knows. If he is in a conversation with a person he knows or is friends with that person, you could almost compare them of a mix between Ruby and Jaune. (so loud and humorous but will let the others speak first). If someone is sad or needs help they know he can help. Goes "fangirl" whenever he sees a classic muscle car and is a huge fan of racing.

Combat Abilities/Weapons: Dual katanas which can join together at the end of the hilt to become "double bladed". the blades can retract when put away or to knock someone out. The blades are as if you are staring into a mirror while the hilts are blue but with a black cross weave. The names of the katanas are, Harmony and Chaos. Shade uses quick, agile movements with his body and sword in combat, if swords are not ideal in the situation he will use his aura physically in the form of aura "spheres". He also has the ability to hide in any shadow coming visible only when he wants to or if direct light touches that area. Is a great military strategist.

History: A very dark history. Family was killed by a group of beowulf's, father died protecting them, mother and sister brutally murdered while he was hiding in his room. Also enrolled in Military. As a pre-teen he started to race on a track and also on the street. His car number was #17. Now he has devoted himself to become a Hunter and to also teach a special someone his family gift. (Aura abilities)

So yeah. When you read this story think of this description of the character. If you can please leave a comment on how I can improve because I'm making this for the RWBY fans. This will most likely take a good year or two to finish so please be patient. Hate to be rude. After a few chapters my other friend will give me some cover art and a big thank you to all my friends and family for supporting me on this.

Content Warning: This whole story is really damn sad. So keep some tissues handy. This story contains some-scratch that-A LOT of romance. It might also include some adult language and some slight sexual themes. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

On one last note, this is only the prologue and character description. It is a small vision Shade has before arriving at Beacon. It will get better! I promise!
