World
Choose world changes, no limit, but not recommended to select all:
· [Shifted Ages]
Change: Character ages and timelines are altered, leading to different team dynamics. For example, Ruby is now the older sister, taking on a protective, more experienced role, while Yang is younger and more reckless, eager to prove herself.
Impact: This shift changes the mentor-student dynamics among characters, with new tensions and rivalries. Teams may form differently, and established relationships take on new depths as characters navigate their altered roles.
· Successful Faunus Integration
Change: The Faunus have achieved better integration into society, with more representation in government, education, and military. Discrimination is at an all-time low, and Faunus and humans work closely together.
Downside: While overall relations have improved, there are still pockets of resentment and extremist groups on both sides. Some humans feel their opportunities are being taken away, while radical Faunus factions believe the changes are too little, too late, causing underground tensions to simmer.
· Vale's Expansion and Prosperity
Change: Vale has entered a golden age, expanding its city limits and becoming a beacon of culture, trade, and technological innovation. The city is safer, cleaner, and more prosperous, attracting talent and resources from all over Remnant.
Downside: Rapid expansion has created a divide between the wealthy and the less fortunate. While the city center thrives, outer districts struggle with rising costs of living, crime, and a growing black market. This disparity breeds discontent and occasional riots.
· Academy Alliances
Change: Huntsmen academies have formed alliances, sharing resources, training programs, and missions. This cooperation has led to stronger teams, better-prepared students, and a united front against Grimm.
Downside: The increased collaboration has led to increased competition and politics among academies, with some students feeling pressured or overshadowed. Rivalries between academies can spill over into conflict, and the focus on unity sometimes stifles individuality.
· [Emergence of Healing Dust]
Change: A new type of Dust has been discovered with potent healing properties, allowing injuries to be treated quickly and efficiently. Huntsmen can now recover faster, reducing downtime and improving mission success rates.
Downside: The high demand for Healing Dust has made it extremely valuable, leading to smuggling, theft, and price gouging. There are also ethical concerns about over-reliance on this Dust, as it's expensive and in limited supply, often unavailable to those who need it most.
· [Reformed CCT Network]
Change: The Cross Continental Transmit System (CCT) has been upgraded and reformed, making communication between the kingdoms faster and more secure. This change boosts global cooperation, trade, and response times to Grimm attacks.
Downside: The increased connectivity also makes the kingdoms more vulnerable to cyber-attacks, espionage, and misinformation campaigns. The reliance on the CCT network means that any disruption can cause widespread chaos, and maintaining the network becomes a constant, costly effort.
· Civilian Huntsmen Program
Change: A new initiative allows civilians to be trained in basic Huntsmen skills, providing more local defenses against Grimm and empowering smaller communities to protect themselves.
Downside: This program has led to a rise in unlicensed, inexperienced "wannabe Huntsmen" who often bite off more than they can chew, leading to accidents, property damage, and sometimes making situations worse. Additionally, professional Huntsmen feel undermined, leading to conflicts over jurisdiction.
· Dust-Powered Transportation Boom
Change: Advances in Dust technology have made transportation faster and more efficient. Airships, trains, and personal vehicles powered by Dust are more accessible, making travel between kingdoms quicker and safer.
Downside: The rapid expansion of Dust-powered tech increases demand, leading to over-mining and environmental concerns. Dust accidents, from power failures to explosions, are on the rise, posing new risks in highly populated areas.
· [Unified Huntsmen Guild]
Change: A Huntsmen Guild has been established, creating a unified body that sets standards, provides resources, and represents Huntsmen interests across all kingdoms. This organization helps coordinate large-scale missions and offers support to struggling Huntsmen.
Downside: The guild's power and influence sometimes clash with local governments, leading to political disputes. Some Huntsmen feel that the guild's bureaucracy stifles their independence, and there are concerns about corruption within its ranks as it grows in power.
