AN: Hello, I have a special chapter here. So, I am testing something for this series that I have done in others in the past. I have made this datasheet for a few of the characters in this fanfic. This gives the reader a basic overview of each character and what has happened to them throughout the story so far. I also included their win record, just so you can see how well they are doing in the series so far. For now, I made this only with the characters who had four or more duel scores in total. This means if they had a win-draw-lose or did not finish (DNF) during the time of this story. The second AN will go over more specific details, but please let me know what you think of this as a reading aid to the series. Since I know I take long breaks, something like this could help catch people up before checking out current chapters. I will also use this chapter to announce soon cool plans I have for this series. I will update it more when the tournament gets underway. That is all for now, thanks for reading, and hope to see you in the next chapter.
Also, I am working with a new artist to create a rotating cover for this series of the rwby characters in there duel academy uniforms summoning one of their duel monsters to their side. I have used the great art of Neo and Silent Magician By 203wolves on Twitter for a long time and want to expand the idea here like I did for Remnants in a New World's covers. You can check back here where I will update on the finished works for this series to post as covers.
Cover Arts: The new covers have been made. This amazing art was done by Stefv on twitter, where you can see other awesome works, they have done as well. We have Ruby with Eatos! I really like how this turned out, especially the duel disk looking like Crescent Rose. You can see how some elements of her design mixed with her Slifer uniform, and I do like how her Eatos is watching over her. Ruby may have redder hair here, but I always felt this was the better look for design wise.
Next, we have Yang, who does not play a monster, but is activating the spell Soul of Fir. It helps her stand out and really symbols her playstyle more than any of her big boss monsters. This one came out awesome with her uniform and the duel disk arm, which was modeled here after Rex Goodwin's one from 5D's.
We now have Weiss with her Ace of Gem-Knight Master Diamond. Even though she has had a deck upgrade, I still consider this to be her true go to monster for power plays. Of all the outfits, I really like how well hers works with the uniform. Wanted to go with the white colors over blue here, as well as hints of red throughout to references that color used in her original design. You also see her big combat skirt, as well as grey stockings. (I thought it would be cool to flip this for Ruby and Weiss's designs here). And all her duel disk needed was some engraving for it to look perfect.
To round out the four, we have Blake with her in the Obelisk Blue's design. For me, I think blue works well with her more than white, so which is why I like this jacket color for her instead of the white Weiss has or making it black like Chazz's. She technically is one of the few characters here to have had her original dorm outfit, and is I think the only rwby character to have been in another dorm with their uniform. However, it did not make sense to give her the Ra Yellow since she is now in Blue by Season two here. I also have her the V4 pants and boots because they fit the look better and are cooler than her other outfits. And as I have mentioned before, her cleaver has worked into her duel disk design. She has her ace as Lunalight Sabre Dancer, mainly because I think it fits her more (I mean, both technically have a black ribbon in their hair). As well, Sabre's pose is also a reference to the one Blake has in the BBTAG artwork.
Those are the four main girls done, so I will keep between them for now. Due to fanfiction image limit, I cannot make a lot more from this series to keep in rotation constantly. However, I do want to eventually make a few more of these, if possible, down the line. Again, thank you too Stefv on twitter for making these cool artworks.

Darkness Faction: Salem, Cinder, Yuri
…
AN: There you go, that is the basic breakdown of how this datasheet will be set up. Most of the information is self-explanatory. The Ace monsters are obvious, but some I could put another one for. However, I picked one to represent who the character is and is play more by them in this series to win. Speaking of which, flashback duels do not count in these records. Nor did any GX duels that canonically happened before chapter one of the series here. The duel puzzle counted as a win for Yang and the others, but not a loss for Bastion or Glynda. Keep in mind that some of Jaden's points are including his Supreme King duels, which are a win, a lose, and a DNF. Remember that Jaden did beat Nightshroud/Atticus off screen in this series during the Shadow Riders arc. Blake verses Bastion was not a DNF here because both agreed on what the outcome would have been if continued. With tag duels, they were a win for members standing in the end, like with RWBY verse Charmers, which was a point for each of the four girls. However, some gained wins even if they lost in the end. Like Neo, who beat Yang and Weiss, but lost to Ruby, got two wins and a loss from the raid duel. Yang and Weiss got a loss each, while Ruby got the win for being the last one standing. Please let me know if there are any duels I missed in a PM, as that would help me a lot. Leave a review if you have something you want me to include in these summaries, other than expanding the list to include more characters (Which I have done now with everyone I could think to add here) or a deck list (doing that would literally kill me to write out for the characters). That is all for now, thanks for reading, and hope to see you in the next chapter.
I have added a section for Genex Tournament so you can see the named people in the tournament. There are more than 36 participants, but these are referring to the characters who you will see full duels for in this series, (But some victories may be short lived). Like is said I will do chunks of the tournament. I have it set up to be in three parts, each with around a third of the total participants being taking out of the tournament before a break.
Now, the first act is done. Of them, all six of the top three pairs of the pro tad duelist league are down, including Coco. The bad guys lost two members in Mercury and Emerald, while the good guys lose Atticus, Blair, and most of all Ruby. She may have been the last keyholder standing in the shadow riders arc but was out in the first third here. Next chunk is going to see the more major villains making their moves, so be ready for those duels in the next chunk of this story.
The second act is now finished. Both the three-remaining ace duelist and proctor teachers to the event are eliminated. Half the Shadow Riders were taken out as Camula, Titan, and Adam lost. While Nora and Tyranno lost as well. Even Zane is out now despite his status as the top ranked pro duelist. Also, the Paradox Brothers were not in the tournament to start, so they are not counted in the first 36 in planning. The final act will be the last groups taking on their toughest challenges with only one duelist left standing in the end.
