Just remembered to pull this off of my profile. Enjoy, I guess.
Rise of the Cybermen
(Inspired by Doctor Who... Obviously)
Okay, so here's the scenario:
In Atlas, Doctor Pietro Polendina, the one who created Penny, has engineered the Cybermen as a sort of long term project. A built up series of experiments and tests that have run alongside the still running creation of Penny and the development of robotics within Atlas. Polendina intended to use the Cybermen as a sort of last resort measure against the Grimm, and as a last act of desperation if all other factors and plans had been spent: Specially selected humans and Faunus would be converted into Cybermen, and sent out against the Grimm as the ultimate warriors, and since the Cybermen have no emotions, the Grimm won't target them, and they'll be able to survive against them.
However, for obvious reasons, when the idea is broached to the council, they immediately shoot it down, and take measures to ensure that the project is shut down, as it is extremely unethical, and the whole idea of humanity no longer being human and being turned into nothing more than machines is an unsettling thought. However, Merlot, who at this time hasn't gone rogue, indicating that Mount Glenn hasn't fallen, is incredibly interested in the Cyberman project, and when he goes rogue, he takes all of the information and research into the project with him, and goes underground.
Cut to the present day, and Cinder is meeting up with Merlot about his progress on the project, as she is very intrigued by the idea. Having taken several White Fang members to their base within the ruins of Mount Glenn, they are fed into the newly created conversion chambers, and the first Cybermen are created.
However, of course, the Cybermen begin to evolve beyond their initial programming and directives, and reason that if humanity were to truly survive, then it would need to become like them. Soon, the first Cyberleader is created, and Remnant is faced with a new, terrifying enemy...
From here, the story would go on to become about team RWBY, JNPR, and their allies as they try to stop the Cybermen, and would encompass all of Remnant and its inhabitants as they came under threat of being converted into the metal hordes. Many of the cast would end up being converted, regardless of who they are, and perhaps even a few of the main cast ends up getting converted, just to raise the stakes even more.
Ultimately, the free people of Remnant would win, of course, and the Cybermen would be defeated, but not without great cost to the world and it's inhabitants, and the conflict would leave a scar across Remnant for the rest of it's existence.
As always, feel free to use this idea. Just PM me about it, and you will be good to go.
Anyways, see you all later!
