Hello there, guys and girls and other gender identifications! Welcome back to the idea pool!
So soon after the last one, I know, but hey, might as well get another one down.
Once again, if you want to use these ideas, then by all means, go ahead. Just PM me first, and you're good to go.
The Witches of Sin
(Inspired by the Witches of Sin from Re:Zero.)
Long ago, when the Brother Gods left Remnant behind, they left great plants- The Trees of Life- To grow humanity like ripe fruits on their leaves, so that they might grow humanity anew.
8 Trees of Life in total, spread across the world. And with each tree, there was a gardener.
A mother.
A Witch of Sin.
Each Witch of Sin was uniquely powerful, each one imbued with the power of magic, so much that alone, they were on par with Salem herself, so much so that they could even control the Grimm to an extent.
Each Witch was uniquely different to each other, each one embodying a separate sin.
Bree, the Witch of Greed. A seeker of secrets, with an obsessive want to know everything. She wished to know every truth, ever secret, ever single fact and piece of knowledge in the world. In order to do so, she could drain the minds of the people around her like a vampire, just to know everything about them.
Marionette, the Witch of Gluttony. A girl so hungry for aura that she ate everything around her, including herself, leaving her just a ghostly apparition, desperate for aura just to quench her hunger and pain for just a moment.
Rhea, the Witch of Lust. A young, lonely girl that was desperate for love, so much so that she would brainwash and coerce people around her into loving her, just to know the feeling of being wanted.
Demona, the Witch of Sloth. An incredibly hyperactive and energetic girl, whom wanted to do anything and everything that she wanted, but in order to get the energy to do so, she would drain the wills of those around her, in order to keep going on. She would be the one that created the Apathy Grimm.
Jashwi, the Witch of Pride. A humble and respectful girl, who takes more pride in others than she does in herself. Is able to coerce people to her side through appealing to their egos, and also through her sheer charisma alone.
Lwango, the Witch of Envy. An unambitious girl, merely content with what she already has. Has been known to lead entire armies of those whom are envious of other people's things.
Odysseia, the Witch of Wrath. An extremely shy and introverted girl, she is also the calmest and most friendly of the witches, due in part of a strange childlike innocence that she had about her.
And finally, there was Syriana, the Witch of Sin itself. A mysterious woman, the leader of the Witches, and as such, the most powerful of them all. Her ambitions are a mystery, but it is said that she has plans that stretch out to the universe at large.
With the coming of Ozma and Salem, the 2 of them are forced to work together, and are barely able to force the witches into magical seals that were then scattered across the globe, sealing the Witches of Sin inside, and making sure that their evil could never walk the world yet again.
Until the present day, where our heroes have been flung into Initiation, and have just about to defeat the Nevermore and Deathstalker, when-
In the distance, a white Grimm, with blue bones and bright silver eyes, in the shape of some creature that none of them knew even existed, trudged through the trees behind them, and into the open.
Both the Deathstalker and the Nevermore took one look at this Grimm...
And ran.
They were terrified of it.
The 2 teams looked at the retreating forms of these Grimm, and then back to the strange white and blue Grimm, only to find that it was gone.
What was that all about?
Ozpin knew as he looked over the scroll in his hand. His mug slipped from his hand and dropped to the floor.
The rest of the story, until the docks, would proceed as normal, albeit with a few differences and changes, mostly with references back to the white and blue Grimm, references to a rising cult in the underbelly of Vale, and the Arc family, and how they were incredibly prominent in what was known as the Dark Times of Remnant.
However, the docks incident would be when everything really begins to go to hell, as a new character is introduced to be working with Cinder and the White Fang, known as Abeloth, the Priest of Hunger, and leader of the Cult of Witches.
Soon, it becomes a race against time as Team RWBY and JNPR work to find out more about the Cult of Witches, and stop their plans- Whatever they are- From coming to fruition.
However, it soon becomes clear that there is something about the blood of an Arc that these cultists want, and they continuously go out of their way to try and capture Jaune Arc wherever they can, whilst the rest of JNPR and RWBY work to stop them.
Soon, it all comes to ahead in a massive attack on Beacon Academy during the dance, where almost every cultist storms the academy and gets themselves killed in the ensuing battle, but still rendered a victory for them as they are finally able to overwhelm Jaune Arc and capture him, the last of the cultists, being Abeloth, bringing him to Mount Glenn, where she and Cinder prepare to use the blood of the Arc to undo the magical seal and summon forth the witch in the tomb below:
Syriana, the Witch of Sin herself.
In a panic himself, but not wanting to cause a panic in the general populace, Opzin allows Team RWBY and (J)NPR to head off to Mount Glenn, to try and stop Abeloth, and Cinder, and the White Fang, and to make sure that their plans never come to fruition.
They fail.
Ozpin makes a horrible decision in regards to this, and they fail, horribily.
The seal is undone, the Arc blood does its work, and Syriana, the most powerful of the Witches, is free.
Revealing that a tiny crack that had been made in the seal by a very young Abeloth had allowed her to slink her mind into the young girl's and manipulate her, and had also created the white and blue Grimm from in order to throw Ozpin into the panic that allowed her to be freed, Syriana thanks Abeloth for her service...
By giving her loyal subject exactly what she wanted: A seat in her new order.
Cinder, thinking that she could reason with, and perhaps even manipulate the Witch of Sin, begins to try and bargain with it, to try and be of service to it, and possibly obtain its power for herself.
The Witch of Sin, unamused by the woman, simply killed her by popping her head, and lobotomising Mercury and Emerald into her services.
Then, with a single wave of her hand, she enthralled Adam Taurus and his entire faction of White Fang present at Mount Glenn into her services, and then did the same to Teams RWBY and JNPR, invading their minds, and adding a new component to their personalities: A complete and utter loyalty to the given Witch that they are to be enthralled to.
All except Jaune Arc, who, for some reason, is still immune to the magics of the Witches. The same as everyone who carries the blood of an Arc.
Syriana, more amused by this than anything else, sees Jaune and his bloodline as inconsequential, and of no threat to her, and simply allows him to be buried alive under Mount Glenn as she collapses it on top of him.
Ozpin and Salem and their own circles try to stop Syriana from freeing the rest of the Witches of Sin, but it is too late. The Witches are freed, Ozpin and Salem's inner circles are all killed off, and the 2 of them are forced to go on the run.
And so, the Witches take control of Remnant, and seize control of the Grimm, turning them into their personal armies, and using them to establish their power over the entire world.
Lwango, the Witch of Envy, is given Pyrrha Nikos as her thrall, and the entire kingdom of Mistral as well, and she begins to rally armies out of envy, to wage war against everyone else in Anima, out of envy for what they have.
Bree, the Witch of Greed, takes Blake Belladonna as her thrall, and takes over Mistral's criminal underworld, so that she may spread herself into every criminal syndicate in the world, and gather all of the knowledge that they gain.
Marionette, the Witch of Gluttony, with Nora Valkyrie as her servant, takes over Menagerie, and uses it as a giant feeding ground in order to sate her always gnawing hunger for aura.
Demona, the Witch of Sloth, with Lie Ren as her thrall, takes over Mantle, and uses her Apathy Grimm to drain the wills and the life energies of all of the people in the wasted city on the ground.
Jashwi, the Witch of Pride, with Weiss Schnee as her thrall, is crowned the Queen of Atlas, and has the kingdom produce an entire army for her, so that she may take control of more of Remnant.
Odysseia, the Witch of Wrath, is given Yang Xiao Long as her caretaker, and is gifted the kingdom of Vacuo to play and be happy with.
Rhea, the Witch of Lust, takes Ruby as an extremely devoted, and extremely fanatically loyal concubine, and takes over the entirety of the kingdom of Vale, brainwashing all of the people in it into becoming her worshippers and lovers, all so that she can feel wanted.
And finally, Syriana, the Witch of Sin itself, retreated underground, as she moved to conduct her own plans in secret.
But, all was not lost for Remnant, as Jaune Arc was able to somehow survive an entire mountain collapsing on him, and he reunited with the entirety of the Arc family, as well as a colourful bunch of background characters (Team CFVY, SSSN, CRDL, FNKI, NDGO, ARBN, BRNZ, Ciel Soleli, Olive Gashley, Maria Calavera, Qrow Branwen, the Schnees, and even Ozpin and Salem themselves, or whomever you would like).
And then, that's when the story would finally move on to stopping the Witches of Sin, as this motley band of Huntsmen and Huntresses and more travel across the world and act to defeat the Witches of Sin one by one, encountering many challenges and adventures along the way, as the scope of the true threat of Syriana's plans becomes realised:
The Witch of Sin itself would seek to completely rewrite the laws of the universe itself, and place herself and the other Witches as an entire universal law unto itself, effectively taking over all of reality.
What happens from there, is best left up to you.
And there's another one! I hope that you've enjoyed this idea as well.
As said before, if you wish to use this idea for yourself, then just PM me first and feel free to do so.
And as always, I shall be seeing you all next time!
