After a few years of being on the fence about it, I finally decided to watch RWBY in its fullest rather than just clips. So far, I'm in the middle of Volume 2, but I know how the rest of the story goes, so no worries about spoilers
"This is so boring!" A being made out of purple mist whined, watching a globe displaying something. "They've been doing the same schtick for centuries! For my sake, Salem, do something! And Ozma, stop hiding like a little bi-"
"Brother, behave yourself." Another being made out of golden light interrupted, watching as well. "It is unbecoming of someone like you to act like a child."
"Oh don't act like you're not bored as well! I see you sneaking a glance at those books every five minutes!" The purple being, who we will nickname Darkness for convenience sake, said, pointing at the piles of books in the distance. "Where did you even get those!?"
"From the same place that inspired us to create humanity. I must say, they know how to make the simplest of plots interesting." The golden being, who will now dub Light in contrast, explained, floating a book towards it. "Like this one. A person is killed and is reincarnated as a vending machine."
"...You're joking, right?"
"No I am quite serious." Light answered. "You do realize you're also free to read any of them, right?"
"Yeah, I'm not touching any of that. Still traumatized by that healer one." Darkness said, shivering. "If there is someone like that in humanity, I will destroy them, our promise be damned."
"I am well aware." Light chuckled at his brother's antics. "Although, this does gives me an idea."
"I swear to Me, if you say to create someone like that, I will…"
"Heavens no." Light quickly dismissed its brother's concern. "What I'm referring to is something else. If you're so bored by the same routine, why not add something… exciting?"
"...I'm listening…"
Ozpin, headmaster of the prestigious Beacon Academy, one of the greatest founding Huntsman Academies, watched on as the newest batch of students for this semester were sent flying off into the greenery of Emerald Forest below. Some released startled screams, one such scream belonging to Jaune Arc. And dare he say... the scream was rather... unmasculine. But he digressed. Among others were whoops of excitement and thrill, and others were simply silent, focused on the task at hand. At his side was his deputy headmistress, Glynda Goodwitch, currently going over the student profiles and surveying the partner matchups.
"Professor, what did you use for the relics this year, may I ask?" The woman inquired, raising a brow at the silver-haired man.
Ozpin hummed, eyes focused intently on one of the cameras scattered around the forest. Focusing intently on one Ruby Rose.
While skilled, the girl still had much to learn. Well, she skipped ahead two years, after all. She'd have to catch up to the rest of her peers, but he wouldn't have invited her to Beacon otherwise. He believed she had what it took to be molded into a fine warrior, potentially even surpassing her mother, Summer Rose.
His eyes narrowed at the screen as Ruby and a white haired girl, Weiss Schnee, had partnered up. And they were off to a rough start, it seemed. It'd be mended with time, he was sure. And there was no better way to form a strong bond than on the battlefield.
"Professor?"
Ozpin blinked, glancing towards Glynda, who fixed him with a light glare. The man smiled and sipped his coffee, calm, yet apologetic. "Apologies, Glynda. I was lost in thought. What were you asking?"
"What were you using as relics for this year?" Glynda sighed and shook her head, glancing down at her scroll. "You used jewels for the last one. An odd choice, but I'm sure you've thought of much better-"
"Chess pieces."
"... Pardon?" Glynda muttered incredulously, looking towards Ozpin in confusion.
"I used chess pieces as relics this year." Ozpin smirked at his blonde headmistress, who shook her head with disbelief and sighed harshly.
Before any further words could be exchanged, a powerful explosion rocked the earth and kicked up a large plume of dirt and debris in the distance, mixed with streaks of golden and purple light. Ozpin and Glynda's eyes widened a fraction in surprise. The initiation had barely started and they were already blowing things to kingdom come?
Glynda felt her brow twitch. "This batch is going to be troublesome, I can tell..."
Ozpin let out a hum of agreement, though felt his eyes narrow at the direction of the explosion. His gaze flicked down at his scroll and he began shifting through the cameras.
That explosion was far from natural.
I groaned as I felt a sense of consciousness return. I opened my eyes and found myself in a forest.
"What happened, how did I get….Oh yeah" I questioned before remembering I had been hit by a car. I guess I died from the impact. I mutter with a blush because who gets hit by a car when they're sitting on the SECOND FLOOR OF A MALL IN A FOOD COURT!?
I looked around the area to see where I was, but all I saw was green.
"How in the blazes did I get here? There are no forests in my town and I seriously doubt that car sent me flying that far." I said
"Hey! Are you okay!?" I heard a voice behind me and-
Okay, so either that car sent me into a coma and my brain is trying to come up with something so it can keep itself alive... or I have been reborn in another world because in front of me were Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee, in their first outfits.
As in Ruby and Weiss from FREAKING RWBY!
"One moment, please." I said before slapping my face very hard. Ok, so not a dream. Add more fuel to the coma or the reincarnation.
"Why did you do that!?" Ruby asked in panic at my action.
"Just making sure of something." I answered. "Can you tell me where I am?"
Ruby let out a hum of confusion. "Eh? In Emerald Forest? For the initiation? Are you sure you're okay?"
So, I'm at the beginning of the show and not in some weird crossover like the Justice League one. Back when the show didn't have any issues besides bad animation, both in the show and outside of it.
"If the dunce wants to play the idiot, then he can do that. But we don't have time for this! If he wants to fail the exam, he can, but I'm not going to because he wants to lolligag! And I'm not tolerating you slowing me down, either." Weiss berated the two of us at once and whirled around, storming off deeper into the forest. Ruby looked miffed at the girl's attitude while I sighed. Volume 1 Weiss was a handful…
"... Sorry, about that." Ruby mumbled and sighed, shaking her head before giving me a reassuring grin. "But don't worry! Stick with us and you'll be fine. Then after we pass the exam we can take you to the infirmary to get your head checked up!"
Ruby was already moving before I could answer. I held back a sigh and shook my head, and quickly followed after the two girls.
I'll play along for now...
"Who is that boy? He wasn't here during orientation nor the start of initiation. I have no files on him either." Glynda's brows furrowed, a frown permeating her features as she watched the camera footage on her scroll. She turned to Ozpin. "Ozpin, what do we do? This could be a potential civilian! I don't know how he got in, but he is in great danger, even with other students around. If his Aura isn't unlocked..."
"We shall observe for now. This will be a good test for the students as well." Ozpin tapped his mug with a finger, watching the footage intently. "If this proves too much, we will send a group to pick him up. And then take him in for questioning."
"Observe?! Ozpin-!"
"Trust me, Glynda."
Glynda stared at Ozpin in silence before reluctantly nodding her head and watching the footage on her own scroll, her brows furrowed deeply.
Ozpin took a sip from his coffee and watched the cameras. He was near the explosion. Who are you?
A small introduction to the story so that we can ease into it and I can also see the response this gets. Now don't worry. The name and description of the OC will be revealed next chapter. The semblance has also been chosen, one that I hope people will like, as well as the weapon.
Now, let's move on to the important part: Who should my OC be shipped with? Instead of waiting for reviews, I will make a poll and people can vote. I will leave a list of characters there as well an option of no ship and harem. If Harem wins, we will have a different poll to see who should be added.
Don't worry, this will not affect the story. It's more if i should include certain scenes to make it more romantic rather than platonic. The poll will be in my profile.
If there is anyone would you like to add, let me know. My only refusal is Cinder and Salem.
