The Boy King AU

So... recently I watched "The Sword in the Stone" the animated movie and then I watched two other movies "King Arthur legend of the sword" and "The Green Knight" and then I went down a rabbit whole of Arthurian legends and then I thought how this would work with RWBY and my first thoughts were to make the like Arthur but then I thought back to the Sword in the Stone and thought how Young Arthur became king in that movie and that got me thinking...

What if Oscar was Arthur and he too pulled the sword at a young age?

So, I started going down an insane path of making up a story woth Oscar as King Arthur, Ozpin and Merlin (of course), and other RWBY characters as other Characters from Arthurian legend and... uh... I even made a family tree for the whole story...

Yeah, I kind of went off the rails with this one.

So basically the whole story goes like this:

Oscar's father, the King of Vale (the one who ended the great war) never disbanded the monarchy of Vale or the other kingdoms, and became a great king, (His name is Alexander you know, aver Alexander the great) however, Alexander's half brother, who is Watts in this story, made a deal with a Witch (Guess who) for the power to take Vale for himself, and so he killed Alexander and his wife, a woman named Victoria Soleil (Hint, Hint), and also killed Alexander's firstborn daughter, her wife, and most of the Wife's family, Watts even killed his own wife. The only surviving members of the royal family are Ciel, Carmine, Oscar, and technically Jaune.

Ciel and Carmine escaped to Atlas with the help of a loyal knight, Jaune survived the slaughtering of his family by escaping with Ozpin, who also managed to escape with baby Oscar.

Oscar was then given to Tai and Summer to raise and instead of growing up as a Pine, he grew up as a Xiao-Long.

The events of the story happen when Oscar's 15. Ruby's 17, and Yang is 19.

Here's the whole family tree:

As I said, Oscar is Arthur in this story, but the family tree is a bit different.

Ciel is Morgan le Fay and remains the Older sister. Carmine is Mongause and instead of being Oscar and Ciel's half-sister, is actually their cousin. Instead it it s Terra who is their Older half-sibling

Jaune is only related to Oscar and Ciel by marriage, but Jaune is supposed to be Gawain only instead of being Oscar/Arthur's nephew, he's Oscar's Brother-in-law. It's Adrien who's Oscar's nephew and the two are actually around the same age in the story. Adrien represents Mordred, however, no one knows what happened to Adrien during the killing of the Royal Family, so it's possible the whole "Mordred" Storyline doesn't happen(?).

That's pretty much all I have as of now as I am still working on it, but man does this get my juices flowing!

[sir-adamus]

one thing i haven't seen brought up yet re: the Crown is Jax and Gill's claim of being royalty is because of their father's story about how once a generation one person in their family has the crown shaped birthmark (them both having it at their father's insistence is later questioned when Coco notes Gill's looks like a brand, implying she wasn't born with it and her father put it there, or neither of them actually were born with it and it's complete crap) and that they're descended from Vacuo's royal bloodline

well now we have someone in Vacuo who actually knew the last Queen of Vacuo and could confirm/deny the veracity of that claim

[weebsh-t]

I had a WIP of an old VERY angsty pre-merge Ozpin comic just burning a hole through my pocket since 2022, is it worth finishing and uploading?

[maripr]

yeah man

[pedanticat]

It's poetic how the final battle of the Great War where humanity was divided because of Salem orchestrating the events ended in Vacuo but now humanity stands united against Salem in the very same location.

[incorrectozfamily]

King of Vale, hungover: Please tell me I'm imagining that I claimed I was king of the ducks.

Ozpin: I would, but then I would be lying to the King of All Ducks.

[makiruz]

I just had an idea, not necessarily a good idea but I have an idea. In RWBY it's never been confirmed that Oz was the King of Vale, but we all agree that he was; what if this was in universe too? Everyone who knows about the reincarnation has figured Ozpin was previously the King of Vale, but he has never confirmed it

[bowl-of-shortness]

For the young leaders AU 👀

"What did you just say to me?"

Sure! :)

This is a small one so bear with me here, anyways Eira go offfffffffff

An Ember

After a while of putting up with Ozymandias’s constant ridicule, Eira finally works up the nerve to say something after the king let’s a particular comment slip.

They were walking back from another training session in Mr. Rose’s class. Or, well, he was walking, Ozymandias was floating alongside him.

He was scowling, Eira was looking away from him.

Once they reached the quieter side of the school is when Ozymandias started in on his usual tangent.

“It was one singular punch! And you managed to screw it up somehow. You can’t even throw a damn punch right, what makes you think you can fight without me?”

“Leave me alone…”

“Yes, because that’s worked with me and with the countless others you let walk all over you.”

“I’m not in the mood. I already know what you’re going to say. I’m too weak, I’m too fragile, I’m too much of a doormat, too much this not enough that. Just save it, I’m already tired from class…”

He feels his wrist be yanked, and he’s spun around to face the man, whose now enraged.

“You have the audacity to speak to me that way you fool?! You will follow my guidance or you will get yourself murdered. And I wouldn’t so much have an issue with that if it wasn’t for the fact that you would merge with me!”

Eira yanks his wrist out of Ozymandias’s hand. He then turns around, and continues walking.

Ozymandias scoffs, “It’s no wonder you ran. You run from everything, just like this time. You probably even ran from your parents just because they said something you didn’t like. I hope they find you eventually.”

An image of a beaten and battered Eira, curled up in the corner of his room, shoots through his mind before disappearing as quickly as it came. Ozymandias is stunned into silence, not knowing where it came from.

“What did you just say to me?” He’s stopped walking.

Ozymandias stays silent as Eira turns around, a rage filled look on his face. He’d seen many negative emotions from the boy, embarrassment, fear, sadness, but never anger.

“You know nothing about how my parents treated me. You know nothing about how my life was before I ran.”

“. . .”

“But because I’m an actually decent person, unlike someone else I know, I’ll tell you, seeing as you apparently have the respect to not go digging through my memories. My parents only had me because they needed an heir to their stupid weapons company. Yes, I heard them say that, to my face. They permanently disabled me by fucking up my right leg, they beat me within an inch of my life any chance they could, and forced me into studying so debilitating and hard to do that I would pass out from exhaustion because they wouldn’t let me rest.”

“…I-“

“I don’t need your input. As you said, in your own damn words, I am in the same position that you and the others were in when they found out they were another incarnation. You’d think you’d have a little compassion to that. But no, you just are a sad pathetic excuse for a king who gets off on harassing a kid when you know nobody would believe him if he told anyone of the literal abuse you put him through.”

Ozymandias looks away.

“Leave. Me. Alone.”

Eira promptly begins blocking Ozymandias out of his mind after that. No emotional empathy between them, no memory sharing, nothing. He watches as Eira leaves, unable to discern where he plans to go.

It would be better if he didn’t follow him, that’s what he thought.

It would seem both of them have some thinking to do.

Ozpin’s age and Beacon

Questions asked by @angstandhappiness

Who do you think was the headmaster/headmistress of Beacon before Ozpin? 

Hard to say as crwby really hasn’t gone into detail about their lore and history so it really is impossible to say who was in charge of beacon before Ozpin, heck they still haven’t even named the King of Vale so I doubt we will ever get a line of succession and names of all of the other headmasters before Oz but if I had to say who as a character and why they were chosen it would probably be someone who was part of the secret group and thus a follower of Ozpin that became headmaster either before or soon after the death of Ozpin’s predecessor as Glynda would post fall of beacon.

What kind of initiation test did they do for newcomers, and how did they use it to sort out the teams? 

Same as the last question but as far as I’m aware it would probably have been the same initiation test that the main characters did in V1 as Glynda implies that this is more or less the standard by that time with the only difference being the choice of relics. Like there is nothing that implies that there was a different or other form of initiation prior to what we see the mains do in V1.

When was Ozpin chosen by the incarnation cycle, and at what age?

Hard to say but given key dialogue from Raven in V5 and the confirmation that Ozpin was Younger than Theodore who was stated to be in his mid to late 40’s (44-49) making him the youngest of the 4 current headmasters before the fall of beacon. And since Yang stated that he was the youngest ever to become a headmaster, implying that the average age is significantly older for someone to become a headmaster but would have to have been older than 21 years of age as he would have needed to graduate first.

But he would still be older than team STRQ as he was their headmaster during their time at Beacon so Older than 17 at the time by at least 4 years. And since it was confirmed that Ozpin spent some time traveling as the fairy tales of remnant book is a collection of stories Ozpin gathered from his journeys which he would later add them to Beacons library and academic curricular so at least a couple of years to travel and explore the known world (assuming he didn’t do much during his time as a student.)

So, with that in mind our possible age range for Ozpin is at least 5-7 years older than STRQ when they went to beacon for the first time (STRQ; 17/Oz; 22-24) and assuming that Raven had Yang at 23 and STRQ were at least 40-41 by the fall of Beacon that makes Ozpin's possible age at death at or around either 45 or 46 and still be younger than Theo who is nearing 50)

With this in mind and since there's no age criteria in the reincarnation cycle it is likely possible that Ozpin was likely chosen during but most likely before his time at beacon. So at or around 17 years of age did he become the man with two souls.

Sorry for the delay but here is the first quarter of your questions let me know what you think

[bobauthorman]

Is it good to be the King?

Among the FNDM, there seems to be this general consensus that the King of Vale during the Great War was another of Oz’s lives, mostly due to the coloration of said king during the World of Remnant segment on the War, as well as Oz’s claims to having created the Academies. 

And while I cannot necessarily dispute these opinions, lately I have been of a different mind. Looking at Oz’s actions throughout the series, such as...

Atlas, of all nations that bears a Relic, is allowed consistent benefit from the Staff. This is explicitly a decision Oz made.

During the Great War, Mantle (The former capital of Atlas) made a point of outlawing artistic expression and enforcing repression, which in turn gave rise to the color-name rule. As stated by the CRWBY, Ozpin’s name does not follow the rule.

This is mostly symbolic, but a lot of what Ironwood does is seen by fans as an attempt to imitate Oz’s own policies and methods, with the failings a lot more evident than they were with Oz. And during the Beacon Saga, Ozpin’s only complaint about Ironwood’s militant methods was that he was drawing too much attention to it.

From this, I wonder, was Oz the King of Vale...or Atlas?

King of Vale and young Ozpin

[bafflement]

Immortality? It was never worth it.

All this time, it's pouring through the sand beneath my feet

Every life, I fight aganst that which I can't defeat

Every soul a burden, getting heavier each time

Will this version too be lost to the voices in our mind?

And am I me, this composition creature I've become

Can't ask for help, it's gone too far and I've become too numb

This destiny I never asked for, but I never can escape

The cycle starts again, must I face again this fate?

He is so young, but every version feels that way to me

Merely a child, shaking, as he asks to be set free

He's not a hero, not a warrior, at least he isn't yet

Just a boy left drowning in my ocean of regret.

My allies see him, maybe, but I cannot trust

They'll let him choose his ending, as each of us must

And maybe, somehow soon at least he'll rest

Of all my incarnations, he feels better, is it best?

To let him have control of that which rests within his reach

And learning from his own mistakes so maybe he can teach

Them to to the next, if next there is, if he is not the last

Oh child, I'm so sorry, this should still have been my task

I swore to end the cycle, I swore to stop the tide

That my breath and choices would leave all of them alive

But power though they offered it, could never heal this world alone

I regret, oh I regret it now... I should have kept the throne.

[nightmare-foundation]

Oh, I just realized I never posted my rwby fic here lol. It's pretty niche but it's about different AU Oz's showing up in the Canon universe! I try to update every Friday but rn I'm a little worried I won't be able to finish this chapter in time :')

Summary:

[TITLE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS]

Ozpin has lived many, many lives.

So, naturally, one would assume he's experienced literally everything the world has to offer, good and bad.

He thought this too, until a group of alternate versions of himself from different universes suddenly appeared within the Emerald Forest.

Ozpin supposed anything could happen.

[notmaplemable]

Since we might not get the last few volumes of RWBY, here's my totally original proposition for a scene that takes place before the final battle.

------

Jaune: *Riding Juniper wearing the armor of the old king of Vale and wielding the relic of destruction, speaking to the army of Remnant as they prepare to face a seemingly unending horde of grimm*

Jaune: Arise, arise, all peoples of Remnant!

Jaune: Fell deeds await; Fire and slaughter! Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!

Nora: I wish Pyrrha was here to see this.

Ren: Her spirit fights with us, as it always has.

Oscar: He does look cool in that armor...

Ozpin: He stole that speech from Lord of The Rings, you know.

Jaune: Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!

Jaune: Death!

Remnant: Death!

Jaune: Death!

Remnant: Death!

Jaune: Death!

Remnant: Death!

Jaune: Forward!

------

*Meanwhile with team RWBY, who are currently sneaking into Salem's fortress*

Weiss: Why did we let Jaune lead the army to save the world again?

Ruby: Because I already gave one speech to the world and I'd rather fight a thousand armies of grimm than do that again.

Blake: Fair enough.

Yang: I just want to punch Salem in the boob again.
