#rwby fic idea

[one-real-wrimonkey]

I feel like there are shenanigans/good jokes/fic premises for Qrow and Yang both being heirs to the Branwen Bandit Tribe but also that neither of them want it.

Someone: wait Yang your mum runs a bandit tribe

Qrow: yeah and she’ll inherit it

Yang: me? Shouldn’t you inherit it?

Qrow: no I was very much disowned and disinherited. That said if I really wanted it I have a claim and I could fight for it.

Yang: well I don’t want it

Qrow: well I’m not fighting you for it so tough it’ll be yours.

Everyone: uhhhhhh

Like I just see comedy potential and angst potential in this. Also I want to explore the dynamics of the tribe more (and will do at some point).

FIC IDEA!!!!!!

[anthurak]

I feel like one really fun yet oft-overlooked idea for RWBY crossovers, specifically the ‘Team RWBY interacting with a more mundane setting’ is what I like to call the 'subtle and casual superhuman status of Team RWBY'.

As in, even ignoring the weapons and semblances, our four girls essentially have ‘super-solider physiology’, with strength, speed, stamina, reaction time and more that are generally, at minimum, at the PEAK of what a ‘normal’ person can achieve, with some traits clearly MUCH greater than that. Though at the same time, they also clearly aren’t at the ‘juggling cars/boats/buildings’ or ‘cross a city in a blink’ level of physical feats.

As in, Team RWBY is generally/casually just at the ‘upper limits of what is physically possible for a normal human’, and it’s only when they’re putting in real effort that they hit the really obvious super-human physical feats.

And I think this has potential for really fun antics if Team RWBY is interacting with/hanging out in a more mundane setting with more ‘normal’ characters. For example, most magical girl settings where the characters only have their own superhuman abilities while transformed and are otherwise ‘normal’ kids.

Like Ruby and Blake will just casually do insane parkour tricks, Yang will casually move a few hundred pounds of weight one-handed and even Weiss will casually do nutty acrobatics of her own. Which of course for them is pretty normal, mundane stuff, but for EVERYONE ELSE it’s this totally insane shit.

harbinger has gears. def something qrow picked up from ozpin, so if he already had harbinger before attending beacon, it would have had to look different.

thinking about younger qrow, hearing stories about the grimm reaper and wanting a weapon similar to hers. maybe he had a sword similar to omen at first ( hence the hidden red blade that is only seen in harbinger's scythe form, cut into parts to account for the curved blade ), but after scavenging enough parts, he starts to build up from it. with lots of trial and error, he finally succeeds in creating something... workable, though the mechanism he has in place still jams more often than not.

just... the thought of harbinger that looks more like scrap put together that still works but isn't quite what he expected it to be, just because qrow wanted a scythe and that's not something you just find laying around, so he did himself with what little he had.

and then he gets to beacon and can upgrade harbinger to his heart content, taking inspiration from around him; harbinger finally becoming how he always imagined it to be.

RWBY Fanfic Idea

Long time no see, huh? Hope you are all doing well.

So, it's been a while since I watched RWBY Vol9 and we got those epilogue bits and pieces, and I'd like to propose an idea, that for me might have made the show a tad more interesting (Nothing wrong with it essentially, I am just dying for some time travel angst. But that's what fanfics are for).

Because our main heroines find themselves in a journey of self discovery in what seems to be an alternate sub-dimension within the world of Remnant. And then they return to the exact point in time and space where they were supposed to be, missing for a few hours or days pretty much.

So what if, and I say what if, that wasn't the case? What if time flowed differently in the Ever After?

Well then, we have three delicious angst and drama filled scenarios.

Case 1

It works pretty much like Narnia did. I don't rly care much for Salem I must admit, but let's say our heroines get stuck there for a few years. A decade or so. They learn to adapt to the Ever After and its ever-changing tumultuous nature, they make a life for themselves (Perhaps as 4 guardians, each for a season, or a point in the horizon) and become more a family than they ever were. Because all they have from their world is each other. And they learn to function as a unit, never far from one another, always knowing, always caring, always pushing each other to new heights, becoming better and more in sync. And they form this deep intrinsic knowledge of each other, with each duo (and I mean all duos, not just the partner pairs) having its own quirks and habits. So yes, they are a team, yes they are partners or teammates, or girlfriends, but at the same time they are something more, something you cannot exactly put in words.

And somehow, someday they find a way out. The tree finally accepts them or idk what. And when they return to Remnant, they end up in Vacuo, when they left and...they are kids again. They are 18 and 20, instead of 30 and 32. Their bodies feel wrong. Too awkward, too small (R:Ugh, do I have to be the shortest one AGAIN?) cause they aren't theirs anymore. And Yang might find herself tracing across a scar that Blake doesn't have anymore, Weiss' eyes lingering on the missing chunk of an ear that magically is whole again, and rejoicing at looking in Ruby's eyes. Both her eyes. And Ruby can see her teammates, her family, whole again without any scars to show for what they went through, but for those engraved in their souls.

But for the people outside this neat little arrangement, RWBY fell to their deaths, and miraculously returned a few days after, but they came back wrong. There is something stiff and worn in he edge of their expressions, like they have seen too much, like they know too much, and have lost what little innocence they had left. There is danger glinting in their eyes, steely and cold, and downright unsettling. They are different, there is no denying it. They seem more mature, as people and as huntresses, knowing things only experienced huntsmen faced with impossible odds would.There is this aura following them too, one that screams danger and demands respect.

Weiss seems more authoritative than ever before, comfortable in her own skin and creativity, not measuring her worth by her achievements. Ruby is still her optimistic self but she is more confident and sure of herself, like something within her has settled, and finally found its place, nothing like the lost girl hanging by a thread before the fall. Yang's temperament has evened out. No longer fueled by anger and hurt, but by an unbreakable resolve to persevere and will to protect what matters the most to her. And that's not the past that is long gone, not the old grudges that have no worth left in them, but her team, her family. And where Yang has learned to let go, Blake has learned to hold on, to chase for what she wants, to grasp it with both hands and not let go. To face her fears, the trials and tribulations of growing and changing alongside someone, trusting they will stay, and not run away from the monster. And she has learned to face overcome her own shortcomings, and stay. Even when things get rough .

And then there are their interactions with each other, as if they cannot bear to breathe when one of them is not near, eyes frantically searching for their mirror, for the reassurance that it's all okay. The impossible training regimes and semblance evolution. They complete each other as if the four are one, and anything less than that would be incomplete. The constant whispers, and wary glances, the countless inside jokes, and meaningful smiles, only they can interpret. The silent communication, the wordless gestures of comfort, gestures too intimate to be discounted at first glance. But they are oblivious to the raised eyebrows, and the questions hanging from the edges of people's lips. What matters is that they are back and they are together.

They are back, and they look the same, but they are not the same people they were before, and while everyone sees it, no one really dares to say anything. Because there are nightmares. And more often than not, a scream will echo in the desolate camp in the dead of night, followed by a gun shot, or the sound of sth tearing, and the four will huddle together, comforting each other with soft words and sweet nothings that make no sense.

They are the same and yet different, and Winter knows it, because there are times Weiss seems impossibly older in her eyes, so much so that she feels like the little sister instead. Qrow sees Summer in Ruby's steely gaze and rueful smile, and Tai's unbreakable resolve in Yang's smirk. (The sharpness at the edge of it reminds him of Raven a few years back, when the girls were still young, and his sister was the biggest Grim-slaying force this side of Mistral, but he doesn't want think about it.) And when Blake meets her parents again, they think she looks worn and tired, her soul too old for the body it's occupying, but she will always be their little girl, and she has come back and she loves them, melting into their embrace as if she was ten years old once more...

Case 2

They are stuck in the Ever After for 10 or 15 years again. Only this time when they find a way out, they don't change back. And then suddenly in Vacuo, a few days after Atlas falls, while Winter, Qrow Oscar, Nora, Ren and the rest mourn all those they have lost, four strange women appear. (The outfits will have obviously changed, unless somehow they wanted to wear the same thing for 10 or 15 years).

The strangers are huddled together, and check each other for injuries first and foremost before even thinking of facing the other people. And when they do, their breaths hitch and they all collectively freeze. Because the strange travelers, those peculiar women dressed in unfamiliar fabrics, covered in a million and one little scars, look like team RWBY.

But they cannot be, they could never be, for Winter lost her sister three days ago, and the white clad woman looking at her with Weiss' eyes, tear-filled and wide, (so much so that the small vertical scar over the left one wrinkles), could never possibly be the little sister she lost.

Winter spares a glance to the rest of the strangers, never lowering her sword, eyes burning with the chill of a wintry fire, and feels more than hears the spring maiden - Raven Branwen, (the woman who had abandoned her family and then had flown in Vacuo as soon as she felt her bond with Yang snap), whisper a half broken "Summer", her first tightening over Omen's hilt, as she took in a sharp breath - the most unsettled Winter had ever seen her.

The strange woman with silver eyes, clad in red and black instead of white, her face so familiar and yet so different, gives her a small rueful, remorseful smile,

"Not quite." she responds and Winter recognizes that tone, different though it was from mere days before.

"Hey, Uncle Qrow." The golden one smiles and winks, and there's something lingering in her amethyst hued eyes, something like nostalgia 'long time no see' and 'I missed you'. She is impossibly tall, taller than the last time Winter saw her, and somehow broader and more muscular. She reminds her of Elm a bit if the other Ace Op was built like a bear and shone like the Sun. A strong hand was settled comfortably over the shoulders of the woman's black and indigo clad faunus partner, bringing her close.

Winter's head reels, and her gaze hops from one to the other, her mind trying to make peace with what her soul already knew. Blake Belladonna's golden gaze (because it could be no one else, standing tall and resilient, long black hair swaying in the hot desert wind, studded cat ears stiff and alert, long graceful fingers wrapped along the hilt of her obsidian colored blade) stays on her. It is sharp and inquisitive, curious, heavy with experience and knowledge, and it weighs on her shoulders, as she remains still with her sword extended, examining the unlikely band of not so strangers.

They were women now. Full grown, and different, nothing like the kids that fell into the void what felt like an eternity ago.

Qrow's half choked "Firecracker?" and Raven's disbelieving curses barely reach her ears as she hones in on the white-haired woman again, letting her gaze linger on the scar on her collarbone and the shoulder length white hair fashioned in a low ponytail not unlike the one she sported herself. Her eyes, blue like the summer sky, and so much brighter than her own were still wide, as if drinking the sight of her, as if she hadn't seen her three days before, Winter's visage being the last thing she saw before falling to the void.

"Winter?" it's barely more than a whisper, and Winter doesn't know how to feel because it sounds so much like her sister and so much like Willow (I hc that of the sisters Weiss is more similar to Willow appearance wise.) that she lowers her sword and collapses on the ground half sobbing her sister's name (I think it would make a great parallel to when she fell and Winter called it out so brokenly... top tier voice acting)

They'll probably call Robyn to verify their story and when they do there will be a loooot of tears and confusion and hurt and pain and anger and DRAMA, so much drama, I think I could right a book abt the Schnee family drama and trauma if that ever happened.

Things will be hard from then and on, because Winter's little sister is now older than her, and she can spy the crows feet starting to appear at the edges of her eyes, and the laugh lines around her mouth, her skin tanner than Winter could ever imagine it would be. She carries herself like a leader, like she never had to step from someone's shadow, much less Winter's own. She looks like she finally knows her worth and has another three people being there for her unconditionally when she needs it. I won't even start on Whitley who lost another decade from his sister's life without either their input, just when he had started bonding with her again, or Willow. Man, I think that Willow seeing Weiss as a thirty something grown woman (that looks so much like her before Jacques, before her own life started going downhill) would warrant a relapse. A big one.

Qrow is probably going to get himself hammered after all this and Raven will join him. Like imagine them looking at a Ruby that is now as old - if not older - than Summer was when she died. A Ruby that looks almost exactly like Summer, but has grown into herself as a huntress and a team leader, that has learned to bear the burden and share it when it gets too much. A Ruby Qrow can no longer call squirt - she is almost as tall as him now, and built with the lean hard muscle of someone that sprints for a living - and Raven cannot underestimate. A Ruby that reminds her so much of Summer, but is so different from her old leader, that has found her own brand of strength and settled into it in ways neither she nor Summer could.

And then there is Yang. Yang that has Raven's face, but Tai's golden complexion and has grown into his strong broad built (I imagine her more like a strongwoman than a calisthenics type of muscular). Yang that does finger-guns at Qrow like she is sixteen, and looks at Raven with little anger in her amethyst hued eyes. Yang that looks so much tired when the chaos settles down, and embraces her team clinging desperately to them, whispering "we are home, we made it", when things get too much for them. That has taken to mothering Nora and the rest of the kids, because they are kids. What for them was 3 days for RWBY was 15 years. And they haven't been kids in a long time. She still has her playful side don't worry, the puns are being served with a Yang.

And last but not least Blake. Blake that has found her home with the others, that has learned to trust and be trusted, that doesn't hide who she is for anyone's benefit. A brilliant tactician, a creative bright mind, a spirit writhed in shadows. Lean, tall, positively feline, a stealthy predator at its best, she has fallen into her role with the others easily enough, and it's plain for all to see that she offers her quiet support, with soft words that cut at the edges and tender embraces with the undertone of protection and support. Blake who ran away from home at 12 (I think) only to come back at 18, and then disappear again at 20. And just the amount of pain the Belladonnas must have experienced losing her for a second time, and then having her appear again, only she has aged another 15 years since they last saw her. They probably feel like their daughter's life is slipping by them, and they'll never rly have enough time with her. Their little girl comes back an independent teenager and then a grown woman, with a bit of Ghira's imposing build and all of Kali's feminine guile. A cat Faunus that moves like a panther, sharp liquid gold eyes honing in every minute detail. A woman whose heart sings of pain and loss, and perseverance and love, a stranger with their blood in her veins they could not be prouder of.

Yeah, that family pain hits hard in this one. And lastly,

Case 3

The gang does stay in the Ever After for a few days indeed, but out in Remnant it has been years. Salem is over with idk how, and yeah our friends go to the blacksmith and everything but when they return to Remnant, everything is different. The world has moved forward and changed without them.

Menagerie is a kingdom now apparently, and has its own huntsmen academy. Ghira and Kali have thrown themselves into making this work, overcome as they were with the second and final loss of their only child. So imagine when they get a call or see Blake for the first time in more than a decade. But their little girl looks exactly the same as she did when she fell, and they are...old. Ghira's beard and hair has been going gray and he's lost some muscle mass, and Kali's proud stature is diminished, and the ever present smile on her lips has barely made an appearance in years. So I suppose it will be painful as heck for them to accept that Blake is back. They;ll never let her go when they do though...So angst, yeah.

Tai will have shut down. He has no one left apart from Qrow. And well I d like to give it a twist here and say that when Raven feels her bond with Yang snap, and realizes that well her daughter is not coming back, she does a bit of a reevaluation of her priorities and either completely loses herself, trying to keep that strength facade, or gets her shit together, cause her brother and ex need her, and STRQ kinda reunites. No Ozpin though, that would be too far. And then Ruby and Yang appear, as old as the day they left, and well... I think Qrow would get drunk, Tai would melt into a mess, and Raven would deny it all. Seeing Ruby and Yang reacting to their family being so old will be interesting. As well as Yang's relationship with Raven given the revelations that yes, her selfish, coward, asshole of a mother actually has a heart in there somewhere.

The Schnees will be again the most angsty I think. I say Willow managed to pull herself from the bottom of the bottle for Winter and Whitley,and took back the SDC and is now on the way to retirement. Winter is the new General, and even has a family of her own perhaps and Whitley is practically next in line for the company. And then Weiss appears. And its a shock. Because Whitley is now older than her. Taller, though still with the dancer's built he sported since he was a kid. Only he has activated his aura and semblance now and has a goatee. And a partner. And a kid on the way.

Winter on the other hand is head of the Atlas military has introduced a bunch of new policies with Robyn and they both work toward stabilizing Atlas and making sure to avoid the whole Ironwood thing. Or well ironwood 2 at this point. And Winter loves Robyn( It's mutual). They are all but married at this point, having spent too many nights with Winter drowning in her own guilt, paralyzed by feelings too big for her heart to contain. Too many desperate moments when things are tight, with Winter gripping Robyn's hand like a lifeline saying that she isn't turning to another Ironwood and that she is doing what she can with whatever supplies she has, visibly relaxing and melting in relief when it flashes green. With Robyn whispering sweet nothings to her ear and Winter encouraging her when things seemed dire, with them reminding each other to take it slow and relax for it to be any different.

Winter has made up with May, and the Happy Huntresses are her own little family, a home away from home. They have probably adopted a bunch of kids probs from Mantle and raise them all together. And then Weiss appears. And it's one of the little ones that notices and asks, tugging at the coat Miss Winter is wearing, asking her why the girl in blue looks so much like her. And then angst I suppose. It would be interesting exploring their dynamic a bit more, especially if we go with the route that Winter helped raise Weiss quite a bit before she left for the military, and how that sisterly/motherly relationship changes- if it does at all - now that her sister is back from the dead. Seeing Winter grapple with her guilt, or her anger years after and all that jazz.

Well, that's the post folks! Let me know what you think! If anyone takes these ideas and actually writes a fic pls @ me so that I can read whatever wonderful things y'all come up with!

Till the next one! Take care and stay hydrated!

*starts another time loop premise* im sorry, time loops really are THE fic premise

[howlingday]

Fic idea: Comic Relief (Maybe? WIP)

Ruby and Jaune go to a con dressed as a cosplay couple. Ruby chooses who she wants to go as and wants Jaune to dress up, too. Trouble is, Jaune has no idea who Ruby wants him to dress up as, so he does a little character studying (watching quotes clips, listening to other character studies on them, looking at actor methods to get into the role) until the big day arrives. Everyone loves his costume! ...So much so that Ruby feels very inadequate compared to him. She's happy that Jaune's part of something she loves, but she was hoping to do everything at the con with him, too. Maybe there's a way to make herself look better?

[diaryofamadsunwukongfan]

Semblances

"All Faunus and Humans are not created equal" or some variation of is a saying that has been passed down by Renment 'traditionalists' for generations. When asked for proof, the first thing they point to are the nuemerous animal traits Faunus have. The second thing they point to is the Semblance: a unique power Human warriors have that Faunus don't.

When a human obtains 1000 AP (Aura Points), their Aura not only becomes strong enough to protect themselves, but they also gain the ability to develop a Semblance. Just like how max AP levels increase in deadly situations, Semblances can only be created by Aura during a secnario where if a semblance hadn't developed, something will die.

Three rules of Semblances to keep in mind:

1. Semblances are unique, but not unprecedented - Just like human personalities, each semblance is completely unique. Also just like human personalities, most semblances can be very similar to another person's semblance. The key here is that no matter how similar, two semblances always have at least one difference between each other. [SDC Advertisement: The Schnee family is the first family in the world to have the exact same Semblance, wow! Buy Weiss Schnee's new album, Mirror on the Wall, at a music store near you! Avalible now!]

2. Semblances drain Aura reserves - The price to activate a semblance is measured in AP, and all Semblances pay the price no matter what they do. Some semblances pay this price more than others.

3. Semblances cannot create matter - The most important rule for understanding Semblances as a scientific concept, everything created by Semblances is made of Aura, not matter. Because using a Semblance drains Aura, everything created by a semblance eventually fades away into nothingness after being created.

Semblances are divided into two main catergories: Active Semblances and Passive Semblances.

Active Semblance types

Active Semblances are by far the most common catergory of semblance and the most typical. Renment's scientist define active semblances by what they do, not by what they are used for. Also, the categories are less hard rules and more like guidelines, which is why most semblances are hybrids.

Transportation - A formerly outdated but now revived semblance subclassification that describes semblances that are used to get from point A to point B. They do this by using the Aura shield as a vehicle to move at superhuman speeds. Associated with temperamental and breezy personalites.

Generation - A semblance that produces either an Aura construct or uses Aura to produce a type of energy. Associated with creative personalites.

Deception - An outdated semblance classification that describes semblances used to deceive humans, animals, and Grimm. No longer used in official Aura studies because it describes how the semblance is used instead of what it does, however there is a certain stigma against people with the semblance type in the modern day. Associated with criminal behavior.

Empowerment - A semblance that grants the users body or another object an beneficial ability that they would normally be physical unable to perform. The ability needing to be beneficial is a cause for much discussion in Aura studies. Is the most common type of semblance.

Disempowerment - A Empowerment semblance subtype that grants a harmful affect to the user or to others.

Domination - A semblance that controls real world phenomena (matter, energy) by using Aura to puppet it. Associated with commanding personalities.

Redistribution - An outdated category that describes a semblance that activates in response to absorbing a type of energy. It stopped being used officially because all semblances in this category are a hybrid with one in another category. Associated with aggressive personalites.

Mental - A semblance that directly interacts with and changes the brains functions. Debated if this should be a main category or a sub-category of Domination. Associated with introspection.

Passive Semblances

Every 1 in 100 hundred people are naturally born with a Passive Semblance, a specialized variation of the regular Active Semblances that various warriors learn to unlock.

As the name implies, a Passive Semblance is always active, beginning from birth, and the user has zero control over it. This fact is confusing for most people that are aware semblances drain the users aura, however, Passive Semblances are the exact same. Passive Semblances do drain Aura, but the rate at which they do so is so slow that the Semblance itself will never be able to fully drain a users owner by itself.

Because of their rarity and power, Passive Semblances have captured the imagination of all cultures of Renment far and wide. Children born with a PS that have a helpful affect, like removing pain and bring joy, are said to be Blessed. Likewise, those with PS that naturally hurt the people around them are said to be hexed and are seen as inherently evil. Worst of all are the Cursed: children born with PS that hurt both themselves and the people around them. Said to be bad omens, many cultures across Renment have gone as far as to leave Cursed children to die. The ones that avoid this fate are the real unlucky ones...

[eviltomb]

Cinder and Salem are two sides of the same coin. they both desire the same thing, Comfort. but their solutions are opposed to each other.

Salem's idea of comfort is death. but her immortality forces her to endure that pain. She seeks the relics to force power to strip all life away, her pain with it. The end of Pain.

Cinder's Idea of comfort is Life. Power is a means to an end for that.  Enough Power to live life freely however she desires. To overpower Pain.

RWBY x Maleficent AU concept:

Salem as Stephan

Ozpin as Maleficent

Oscar as Aurora

Qrow as Diaval

Maybe Summer and Tai as the fairies

Idk what else this is a very vague concept haha. If people less tired than me wanted to expand on this go ahead. I’d love to see what ppl come up with.

[soundkiller0017]

How about if RWBY was more like the Marvel universe, in how alot of charecters can have stand alone projects without always needing to bd tied up to the another major charecter. For example a universe where you can expand stories of other charecters like Mercury, Emerald, Adam, Sun, Neptune, Neon, Ciel and Penny where they are not always tied to Team RWBY and Co.

[unofficialadamtaurus]

I couldn't decide which one I liked better, so you get both

[ashyybees-art]

The show never delved to much into it, but with Weiss being known as a singer, it is funny to imagine that not only did she do some music albums, but Jaune has a Playlist consisting of Weiss songs on his scroll.

YESSSSSSSS

Weiss had songs actually recorded and put out to the public with being a Schnee and the heiress, though she doesn't talk about it much to everyone, but Jaune knows already/finds out. Weiss is shocked and a little embarrassed when she finds out about Jaune's playlist of her songs (maybe even a little comedic moment of her warning him to not tell the others about it or she'll freeze him by his feet to the ceiling of his dorm room).

Moreso-

In the Ever After while waiting for the others all that time, Jaune still had his scroll and he'd listen to Weiss' songs just to hear one of their voices again (especially Weiss' though as time went on). He'll sing them for others or quietly to Juniper by the fire and at home. He'd fall asleep a lot to Weiss' songs, letting them lull him to sleep, or listen to them for comfort when/if he has nightmares.

RWBY/X-Men crossover thoughts

So, I've been thinking recently about a "What if Magneto was Pyrrha's dad?" fic, what with the magnetism. And then I started wondering about just bringing all the X-characters into RWBY. (possibly in the wake of whatever shitshow the end of the Krakoa Era turns into.)

Now, on the one hand, it'd make sense to have all the Mutants be faunus, but I don't wanna go that route. So instead, various mutants have been appearing for all of Remnant's history. Some of them remember their past in the 616 universe, most don't, only having vague feelings of deja vu sometimes when meeting another mutant. Not that they're technically "mutants" here, as the X-Gene is replaced by semblances. So on the one hand, mutants are no longer hated and feared. On the other hand, they're living on a death world with an immortal being who controls an army of monsters. (It's honestly kinda nostalgic for the Arakki mutants).

So far, the only concrete idea I have for any of the mutants is Magneto being Pyrrha's dad, and Wanda, Pietro, and Lorna being her siblings (Fuck you marvel, Wanda and Pietro are his kids and they're mutants) I'm thinking that Charles actually was part of Oz's inner circle several lifetimes ago, and they tried using his telepathy (along with some kind of power amplifier) to tell a whole kingdom (or a chunk of one) about Salem. It went...poorly, and was a contributing factor in Oz's secrecy in the present day.

Other ideas:

Sebastian Shaw is one of Jacques Schnee's chief business rivals. Doesn't remember his previous life, other than the odd bit of deja vu, and having an instinctive knowledge of how his semblance worked as soon as it activated. Worked in either a dust mine, or a dust refinery, and his semblance activated during a workplace accident. Ghira Belladonna's chief competition in the "Remnant's Most Glorious Chest Hair" contest.

En Sabah Nur would be a relic of the early humans, before the gods wiped them out. He still sleeps beneath the sands of Vacuo (possibly along with his kids and wife). Could do something with the Crown from the two Team CFVY novels wanting to awaken him, rather than just restoring the Vacuan Monarchy.

Just realized that the Aura Transfer tech Ironwood was developing could've been developed by someone who studied Apocalypse's mind transfer stuff. Even though if this is krakoa era Apoc, he no longer needs to do that.

the O5 x-men would be contemporaries of team STRQ, along with the team from Giant Size #1. That's Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Bobby, Warren, Nightcrawler, Storm, Wolverine, Banshee, Colossus, Thunderbird, and Sunfire, which does make for 3 teams of 4, if we're assuming that all of them were students of the huntsman academies. Maybe they were all from the other 3 academies, with STRQ at Beacon? Though Rogue, Havok and Polaris throw those numbers off. Though Rachel and Betsy bring it up to 16, so i guess it still works out.

I personally would have Hank as part of Ironwood's inner circle after the fall of beacon, with both of them exacerbating each others negative tendencies. I like Hank's villain turn, and feel like it's a natural progression of his character since at least the 90s (Justice for Threnody, motherfucker)

I'd put the New Mutants as a bit older than team RWBY, probably around the same age range as Winter, Cinder and the Ace Ops.

That's Cannonball, Mirage, Karma, Cypher, Magik, Wolfsbane, Magma, Sunspot, and Warlock. Not counting Warlock (who I have no idea how to work him in) that makes 8. Kitty would probably fall into this group too

This leaves Generation X and Academy X as contemporaries of team RWBY.

this is the group I know the least about. But that would be Chamber, Jubilee, Monet, Skin, Synch, Bling!, Eye Boy, and Quentin Quire for Generation X. Maybe have them be upperclassmen to RWBY's freshmen

then Academy X is Elixir, Icarus, Prodigy, Surge, Wallflower, Wind Dancer, Dust, Hellion, Mercury, Rockslide, Laura Kinney and Wither. Anyone else from the X-Men training squads would fall in this age group too.

Deadly Genesis was obviously not a thing in this universe, and the only one of those X-Men I care about is Darwin.

Selene is...around. Honestly I think it'd be hilarious if she just hung out in the Land of Darkness, eating grimm and really annoying Salem, after they figured out that Selene couldn't kill her. She still busts down Salem's door to drain some of her life force occasionally, but honestly it's the closest thing to friendship either of them has.

Mystique predates the Great War, and does Huntress work occasionally, but these days she mostly stays home with Irene (At least that's the official story). No one knows if she's human or faunus. Her relationship with her biological son Kurt (we're going with Claremont's original plan here, Mystique was the 'father' and Irene was the mother) and her adopted daughter Anna Marie is...strained.

Fuck it, replace Glynda with Emma Frost, it's not like Glynda is that important in the grand scheme of things. (y'all know I'm right)

Characters I'm not sure what to do with:

Forge (combine him with pietro pollendina/have them be colleagues?)

the Stepford Cuckoos

Cable

Bishop

Sage

Toad

Dazzler

Boom-Boom

Stryfe

honestly, it might streamline things to have all the time traveler characters come from the same dystopian future
