#Commissar Arc

[patriot2525]

A Private Lesson

Commissar Arc: *Raised an eyebrow* You wish a private audience with me, and gain additional training lessons from me?

Commissar Arc: Very will, I'll shall grant you your request. *Narrows his eyes into his infamous Commissar glare* but know this, once we start your training, I will break your spirit into pieces and then rebuild it from scratch. you shall submit to every order of my, and I in return shall Mould you into a true warrior of the imperium.

Commissar Arc: So I shall ask you once again, *leans down, with his face mirror inches from your OTP own face* Are you ready to submit to my orders, guardsmen/guardswomen?

(Imagine your OTP)

[patriot2525]

Commissar Arc: *Turns his head* Guardsman.

Random Guardsman: Yes sir?

Commissar Arc: informed guardswoman xiao long to arrive to my personal quarters for- *pulls out his boltpistol, and puts a new magazine into the chamber* interrogation.

Random Guardsman: *gulping nervously* Y-yes Sir. *Gives a suit, before slowly walking away* May The Emperor spare that foolish poor soul.

a few minutes later

Commissar Arc was chasing after a fearfully running Yang Xiao Long, that was desperately to run away from the furious shooting Commissar Arc.

Commissar Arc: *Chasing Yang* GET BACK HERE YOU WOETHLESS SCUM!!! *madly shooting at her, but missing all of his shots* FACE YOUR PUNISHMENT LIKE A TRUE WARRIOR OF IMPERIUM!!!

Yang: *running for her life, while also doubting the multiple boltrounds that flew past her* IT JUST WAS A PRANK!!! IT JUST WAS A PRANK!!!

This chased continued for out the entire day, with Commissar Arc being stopped from chasing Yang by dozens of guardsman that manage to calm him down.

As for Yang, instead of getting executed, she was punished by cleaning the latrines for the next month. To which she soon a great whole life choices, when she learned that she will be cleaning the Ogryn’s latrines.

They say you can still hear her cries of pleading for forgiveness to Commissar, With the only answer she receive is the mocking laughter of Commissar Arc.

Say My Name

Jaune: Almost there!

Arc Baby: Vomit Boy!

[novankenn]

for your return i love to see some stuff for your "Jaune Gets a Gun AU" and your "Jaune Gets An Upgrade AU"

(In the Spirit of @howlingday's RU-JA-GUN-CON, and my own Jaune Gets a Gun Au I present... )

"Jaune Gets An Upgrade AU" Day One - (Chainsword)

????: Jaune is that you?

Jaune's gaze instantly switch from being accusatory of Ren being a potential Heretic to utter elation at the sight of the newest addition to the gathered group.

Jaune: AUNTIE BOBBY!

Ren: ... are those booths on fire?

(Imaged sourced via Google. No rights implied by this author)

Uncle Sam / Aunt Sally: Bobby....

Aunt Bobby : Sam and Sally...

Ren: ... seriously... are those booths on fire?

Jaune: (ecstatic) Impromptu Family Reunion!!!

Aunt Sally / Uncle Sam / Aunt Bobby: ...

Jaune: Come on now. Can you guys leave work out on the fringe? I mean we're family, and Mom is going to be so HAPPY to see you all!

Aunt Sally / Uncle Sam: Sorry Jaune.

Aunt Bobby : My apologies Jaune. It's been a rough couple of years.

Jaune: You having problems with Heretics as well?

Aunt Bobby : I wish. I'm dealing with Orks.

Ren: ... are we totally going to ignore the fires? Wait Orks? What's an Ork?

Aunt Sally: Ouch. Are you okay?

Aunt Bobby : I will be after a little R&R. Are you and Sam on leave as well?

Aunt Sally: Yep. Figured we visit the family before going back out.

Aunt Bobby : So who else is here?

Uncle Sam: Just Jaune.

Aunt Bobby: Just?

Aunt Sally: He has some explaining to do... and a call to his mom he BETTER make.

Jaune: I will. I will.

Aunt Bobby : Jaune, what is going on?

Jaune: Ah... um...

Aunt Bobby : I'm waiting.

Ren: ... I'm totally lost...

Jaune: I ran from home with Crocea Mors to join Beacon and become a Huntsman.

Aunt Bobby : What was that? Speak up. Arcs do not mumble!

Jaune: I ran from home with Crocea Mors to join Beacon and become a Huntsman.

Aunt Bobby : ...

Aunt Sally: Bobby, deep and slow breaths. Deep and slow breaths. He's you're nephew, and not a guardsman... so you can't execute him.

Ren: EXECUTE!?!

Jaune: Don't over react Ren. That's not happening.

Ren: ...

Aunt Bobby : So... Jaune...

Jaune: Yes?

Aunt Bobby : I will be talking to your mom before the end of today. I SUGGEST you call her prior to that... understood?

Jaune: Understood.

Uncle Sam: So back to the original discussion. So Jaune do you want to swap Crocea Mors for a Munitorum Mk III?

Aunt Bobby : Wait? What?

Aunt Sally: Jaune is going to return Crocea Mors so he's shopping for a replacement.

Aunt Bobby : I see. Well why not...

Aunt Bobby unsheathes her weapon and holds it up for everyone to see.

Jaune: Really a chainsword? That's so METAL!

Aunt Sally: A suitable alternative to the Munitorum Mk III.

Uncle Sam: It is. So Jaune? Do you... where did he go?

Aunt Bobby : Over there!

Aunt Bobby points past Uncle Sam and Aunt Sally towards Ren who is physically dragging Jaune away from them by the hood of his hoodie.

Jaune: Ren?

Ren: No.

Jaune: Ren?

Ren: No means No.

Jaune: Fine.

Jaune smiles and waves at his family as Ren continues to pull him further away.

Aunt Sally: That was rather rude of Jaune's friend.

Uncle Sam: I think he may be a Heretic.

Aunt Bobby : Wait! Jaune is friends with a Heretic?

Uncle Sam: Possibly.

Aunt Bobby: Possibly?

Aunt Sally: We were going to press the issue but then Jaune saw you... and well...

Aunt Bobby : There is no... well! We have to pursue this. Jaune's honor, life, and chastity are at risk!

Ren shivered as a chill travelled down his spine.

A/N- It's been awhile since I've been in this AU. I hope I've kept to the spirit of it. Let me know if I hit or missed the mark. Enjoy.

RWBY Idea:

Mortal Enemies

What if Jaune and Tyrian have a similar relationship to Commissar Yarrick and Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka? Jaune lives in constant fear of Tyrian and everything he represents, while Tyrian will drop whatever he's doing, even if he's doing something for Salem, to fight Jaune.

*peeks through the door*

What delightful thing have you found here, lord inqui----*Gets side punched out of frame by the grey knight*

"I would really appreciate not having anyone unprepared exposed to our guest. And by that I mean that it is vital to restrict his exposure to anyone else on this ship, for all of our safeties."

[patriot2525]

At the medical room that was on board one of inquisitorial ship, was young Commissar Arc. Who was pacing around nervously, as he was waiting for the Apothecary to come out.

finally after what feels like eternity, the Apothecary walks out from the surgical room, while she was making sure to be careful at whatever she was holding in his hands.

Apothecary: Commissar Arc.

Commissar Arc: Yes! *tried to held his usual Commissar composure, but he was unable to hide his anticipation*

Apothecary: *Gives a gentle smile, before handing to the commissar something that was wrapped up in blanket* Congratulations, it's a boy.

Commissar Arc carefully takes it from the Apothecary’s hands, before gently moves the blanket to reveal a newborn child face. The Commissar stand down at his newborn child, as smile began forming on his face and a small tear began falling from his left eye.

Commissar Arc: Hello my child *said the Young Commissar with shake voice, as he was filled with the immense emotions*

???: My Congratulations Commissar Arc.

The young Arc Turn around to see that inquisitor alongside the black Templars and sisters of battle has come to visit him

inquisitor: May we please know the name of your newborn child?

Ask the inquisitor, as he approached the new father, accompanied by the black Templars and the sisters of battle who surrounded young Arc. The Sisters and giving prayers of gratitude to the God Emperor for braining a new life to this world, while the the Templars Remove the helmets to take a better look at the child, with some of them even having a gentle smile on their face.

Commissar Arc: His name shall be… Adrian, Adrian Arc *said the Commissar, as his child finally opened its eyes.*

The small Adrian opening his eyes for the first time, he looks up at his father with his big brown eyes. As glancing at the Inquisitor, the Black Templars and the sisters of better that were all surrounding him and his father

Adrian: *smiles and begins making happy baby noises*

Commissar Arc alongside the Inquisitor and his friends and companions all smile at the little happy Adrian, as the all enjoyed these peaceful and happy moment in theis dark cruel galaxy.

What does jaune ship say to their child after they’re born?

companion piece to @vossn's crime lord zlatko. meet originswap cosmas, aka commissar emmot hyde.

you should pull them up side by side, they're mirrored :)

ramble under the cut. will make a lot more sense if you're already familiar with cosmas lore lol

kept the outfit pretty close to the commissar outfit in game, but i made two decisions that made it still feel like cosmas. the belt goes under the coat rather than over so it doesn't cinch the waist, and the collar is opened up a bit to frame his neck augment (though you can't really see cause it's covered by his hand). i still wanted him to have his mouth scars, but he would've gotten them some other way so i thought it'd be cute if they looked different, arcing down from the corners of his mouth rather than going directly up. he does also still have his metal fingers, but they're covered by his gloves. all his augments look different :)

he lived a different life, he found a different name. the big divergence point is that instead of being thrown into the underhive, he joined the imperial guard in hopes of something better--or maybe he just really wanted to kill things with guns (state-sanctioned style). i think he ends up being a pretty good sniper.

he never would have been able to become a commissar as a regular grunt, so how did he do it? identity theft. he seized an opportunity to better his status by impersonating a dead commissar. he stole his name, stole his title, stole his deeds. stole his gender too. he didn't steal his life in the sense that he was the one who killed the og emmot, but he stole it in another sense of the word.

emmot's life since then has been a constant performance. it's a lie, but it's the kind he's lived so thoroughly it's become true. for all intents and purposes, he is commissar hyde. he's had to think fast and play it extremely careful. instead of cosmas' constant need to prove himself, emmot's existence depends on convincing others.

emmot doesn't have the same freedom as cosmas. where cosmas shaped himself in the chaos of gang wars and shifting allegiances, emmot lives in a rigid hierarchical structure. he's a servant of the imperium, carrying out the emperor's will. he has to conform, he has to follow orders, he has to be a lot more stealth about a lot more things. he's modeled his behaviour after hardass military types rather than criminals, but at his heart he's still a rulebreaker, he's a liar, and he's scum. he just hides it well.

when it came to naming him i wanted something kinda punchy like gaunt and hark's names. going to be repping gaunt's ghosts forever btw. 2 syllable first name, 1 syllable last name, something with a t or a k at the end. i ended up choosing hyde because it was funnyyyyy, like, yeah, guy with something to hide, guy with some strange things going on with his identity, lol. emmot stuck cause i really liked the mouthfeel, it has the hard ending while not being that harsh in sound, and i like the slight letter change from a more common name, very fitting for the setting i think. emmett (possibly) means "truth" lmao. my very trustworthy commissar named truth hider who has never lied to me. i also think emmot still sounds close enough to cosmas, since it keeps the o and the m, while still being distinct.

if you've made it this far. here's the black & white version

[redstairs]

first time tavia experiencing rogue trader court intrigues?

Janris saw the Lord Captain blink twice, and then she stared at him like he had just grown a second head.

"Why would the late Tabor Drivestem have killed his wife?"

Cassia answered in his stead, putting her teacup delicately back in the saucer.

"Lady Tavia, remember that Yerena Sauerback had been rumoured to entertain a liaison with no other than his own father."

"I..." The Lord Captain rubbed her forehead, incredulously, sitting back in her high seat behind the desk. "I think I'm getting a headache. Nothing about this makes sense. Who even are these people? Why do they act like conscripted twelve year olds without their commissar?"

Janris smiled at her while he threw a subtle look at his Horlogium. A quick briefing on the main families her Ladyship would meet at the Magnae Accessio had become a long, drawn-out conversation. She seemed unable to memorise even a basic family tree with its usual affairs and bastards and was somehow constantly astounded by court politics. In the meantime, the daily expense reports was waiting on his deck and would not write itself. 

"If I may, Lord Captain?"

The Lady Navigator placed the cup in front of her on the Lord Captain's deck. Janris was pleased to see her Ladyship respond according to the etiquette and enquire if more tea was desired with all the necessary forms. The two young women had bonded over overly complicated cutlery and during mock official dinners. 

"It might help to approach this like a holodrama." Lady Cassia's face was graced with a small smile. 

"I hadn't taken you as someone who watched any of them." The Lord Captain raised what would have been an eyebrow, if she had any hair.

"Well, my entertainment isn't as monitored here as it was on Eurac V. I really like The medicae's wife," Lady Cassia answered with a little colour in her cheeks.

"Oh I love that one!"

"Well, Lord Captain, it's a story not that removed from Tiphaynia's arc in the last season." 

The two women started sharing ideas and observations. Janris listened to their back and forth for a while. He didn't know the holodrama, but the Lord Captain's interest was sufficiently piqued, and she finally seemed to be able to remember the names and events without stumbling over them. He decided it was an apt time to take his leave. 

Later that evening, on the bridge, Janris was running through the last overview of cargo contents. The Lord Captain and the Lady Navigator were walking side by side, a dataslate in hand. Pricking up his ear once they got closer, he discovered they were trying to cast the officers into the roles of the nobles that her Ladyship would soon meet. 

"What about the second one over there, by the auspex console, with the moustache? Doesn't he remind you of..." The Lord Captain hesitated for a moment, flipping through the dataslate. "Here. Vincent Gaprak."

"Oh, good call your Ladyship!" Came a giddy answer. The two women laughed and moved further, leaving Janris to repress a smile at their blossoming friendship.

Jaune: That’s what I thought pussy.

Qrow: Aye kid you-

Jaune: *demon voice* DON’T TALK ME QROW! GO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR NIECE BEFORE I MAKE YOU SEE CLOVER AGAIN!

Qrow: Okay. Okay. Calm down. I'm out.

Jaune: F***** bum ass- man I-I miss my family. When can I go home?! Damn. I have no partner. No money. No respect. Damn, I- I got nothing. Shit! I might need make a new friend or something because at this rate I'll be a villain.

[sapphim]

My Lancers! (Build a bastard picrew)

Gene "Heck" Hecklinger (callsign "Echo") is a geneticist turned hacker. People and computers are the same; it's all just code execution. She was sent out on a Union Science Bureau far-field team expedition in the dying gasps of the Second Commission and returned back to the find the utopian-minded fully automated luxury space communism Third Commission in charge some several hundred years later. (Thanks, relativity!) Subjective age she's like 90, which is like the equivalent of our 45. Smokes like a chimney. Stubbornly unwilling to give up facsimile cloning, which is a big no-no in ThirdComm. God forbid women override the subjectivity of their own bodies which they grew themselves in a vat!

Our last campaign arc ended with our unit going abruptly AWOL from our Union handlers and teaming up with a rogue AI for reasons that would involve too much explanation of the alien nature of AI in the Lancer setting, which to be honest neither Heck nor I are entirely clear on. (I was going to re-read that section, and then decided not to. For the bit.) What matters is that ANANKE has a stern demeanor and a concerningly laissez-faire approach to human experimentation, and one of our pilots is down outrageously bad. Heck has raised concerns about the ethicality of said experimentation and has numerous notes but, knowing Heck, the results will still be ethically dubious!

My new girl, Vaike, is a young local in a homebrew distant diasporan system largely cut off from blinkspace and the omninet, the vibes of which I am lead to understand are potentially articulated as Roman Empire meets Soviet Union meets northern/eastern European folklore meets 1990s-esque sci-fi magitech? There are space dragons. We kicked off the first session by killing the local commissar. Vaike has recently become aware of her ability to psychically connect to blinkspace (and thus the... internet, kind of?) with her mind, which has plagued her with weird fucking dreams. Her piece of shit old mech is always threatening to overheat and melt down spectacularly so she's constantly fighting to vent her reactor before she cores out. Into a flamethrower, mainly. :) (When the adrenaline from the last fight wears off she is going to be very upset.)

[kaaragen]

All righty, my thoughts on Ahsoka!

I think it's okay. I enjoyed watching it, and I like being around the characters again. There are a lot of things that have 'cause for concern' but I'm going to withhold final judgement until I see how it plays out. Filoni is definitely Lucas' Padawan - in that he can't direct actors for shit, pace a scene or write dialogue that feels like something people would actually say.

Things I liked:

Chopper was great, as was his little banter with Hera. And, contrarily to seemingly everyone, I actually like Hera. Yes, she looks like the porn parody version (the flat lighting is not helping), but she does feel like the character, and also a natural evolution of that character as someone who has been both a general and a single parent.

The visuals are actually quite good - couldn't spot any ropey CGI or Volume work so that's a plus.

The story is set up nicely, Morgan works as an effective villain. Baylan and Shin are a bit one-dimensional, but we're two episodes in and I like their vibe.

I liked The Phantom Menace homages. Less enamoured with the homage to it's wooden acting and flat place.

The other galaxy - a neat way of expanding the Universe. Though now my mind is filled with the idea of it being the 40K galaxy, and thus images of Commissar Thrawn and Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Ezra XD

(...I'm going to have to write this fic now aren't I? -_-)

My minor annoyances:

Just do a proper opening crawl for God's sake!

The narrative contrivances were...a bit much. I don't mind one or two, it's Star Wars they're all over the place, but them piling up to get the plot to work was annoying. From the captain 'calling their bluff' by...doing exactly what Baylan wanted instead of, you know, keeping their highly important prisoner safe by not letting them aboard; to a third HK droid just hanging about at Sabine's house, instead of, I don't know, self-destructing and killing everyone in Lothal?

The Imperial infiltrators stuff is starting to grate. Because it could be done well - there's something to be explored in the idea that leading rebellions are different from leading governments, there are different challenges and various ways cynics can take advantage of that and corrupt ideals etc. But the way it's done just makes the New Republic look stupid.

The episode one cliffhanger was daft. We know Sabine's not going to die; and if she's going to get stabbed it should have an actual impact on the plot but bacta means that didn't happen. I can see why they decided on a two-episode premiere as that would have been a really weak ending.

Things with question marks:

Sabine. I don't mind her being a Jedi - feels a bit out of nowhere, but the idea of a non-Force sensitive (or weak Force-sensitive) training to be one, and compensating through other means, sounds fine. But I'm not sure it's something that works for her character. Wanting to learn to better defend Lothal etc. I get, but actually being a Padawan? Seems odd. Especially as we already got this story with the Darksabre arc.

The petulant teenager stuff bothered me when I watched it, but I've mellowed after a friend pointed out that Sabine has had trouble with family. She got denounced by her biological family, then her found family broke up at the end of Rebels. Makes sense that she'd be a bit lonely, cling to Ahsoka looking to recreate that and then react badly when it went wrong. So regressing feels natural, though I'm hoping that's over with now.

I'm not keen on her relationship with Ahsoka. Having them be a failed Master and Apprentice duo feels a bit like trying to force a relationship that didn't exist into being because I don't they exchanged a single word in Rebels. I would have preferred it if they didn't have much of one and their journey together explored their characters.

Ahsoka. She's about what I've come to expect from the recent series. But the Paragon Jedi stuff really doesn't suit her. I don't mind her 'I walked away from Anakin' line - I can see how survivor's guilt would lead to look back on things that way and think 'I could have saved him'. But a pin in it - it'll depend on how this is explored in the show as to whether I come to like or dislike this.

So overall, cautious but not turned off yet.

[noosferik]

The house is unfucked now, I fixed the washing machine and fridge, we got a new fuse, I'm managing the trash since we cleared out with the skip, I would be such a good political commissar, place is livable, insanity arc is over... guys...

I have my own room now and everyone's actually putting in some effort I'm in charge... wait holy shit it didn't even dawn on me until now

To Regain Honor

/=/ 9 Months Ago /=/

Jaune sighed as he stepped through the opening elevator doors, and into Headmaster Ozpin’s office. The sigh became a growl when he saw his sister Saphron Cotta-Arc also in attendance.

“Mr Arc, or should I say Commissar Arc, thank you for your prompt arrival.”

“What is SHE doing here?”

“I am here,” Saphron cut in before the Headmaster could answer, “To correct your mistake.”

“Mistake? What mistake would that…”

“You are being charged with dereliction of duty, dear brother, and unless you return to Ansel with me at once… you could face charges of treason.”

“Father wouldn’t!”

“The Sky Marshall, our father, can not show favoritism. You know this. You are an ARC, we must be held to a higher standard, and you have been found wanting.”

“And if I refuse?”

“Then I will be forced to physically apprehend and restrain you.”

“Headmaster you…”

“I’m afraid Mr Arc that my hands are tied in this regard.” Ozpin sighed, “These charges being levied against you are also valid here in Vale, and as such I have to allow you to be taken into custody.”

“There has…”

“There is, Jaune.” Saphron reached into the pocket of her overcoat and pulled out a small object. She moved forward and placed it on the edge of Ozpin’s desk, in perfect view of Jaune. “You know what that signifies.”

“Administrative Punishment.” Jaune answered as he reached out and picked up the hand width sized tightly rolled piece of leather.

“Surrender yourself to me, now, and submit your self to Administrative Punishment, in addition to taking a demotion to rank, and this… incident will be forgotten.”

“And if I don’t?”

“I arrest you, and you face a Tribunal.”

 “Can I think about…”

“You’ve had ten months to think about the choices you have made. Make a decision, and make it now.” was Saphron’s cold reply.
