I prefer Itachi-reincarnate Jaune...and a very familiar shark faunus OC who shows up at Beacon and derails canon. Maybe have him replace Dove?

Click to shrink...

You could have Neptune be kisame.
Be also why stop there why not have more akatsuki members be reborn. Also dont know why but i think it be funny if they are listening to a reborn orchimaru telling them about the events of boruto and how they are aliens.
With them thinking that he is even more nuts for that

Click to shrink...

Welp know i NEED Orochimaru!Jaune
Jaune having the memories of or a ghost mentor of a character works best in my opinion [Orochimaru would just make a new body to jump into and make Jaune his student/new son]

Spoiler: or just Orochimaru lite

or AJT Canon were his mom his an education mama and caused him to snap and go full Orochimaru in different ways
Full Naruto Orochimaru to bandits and terrorist as they are 'acceptable' targets
Full Boruto Orochimaru with people he likes like Ruby and _NPR
and then there is Shippuden Orochimaru which is between horror monster and chill monster teammate when he wants has a target [revenge for Pyrrha, beacon or Tyrian attacking early and says to much]
that way we get a medic with gallows humor to his friends and to his enemies an eldritch monster that wont stop ...[so canon RK!Jaune]

How would the rest of Akatsuki reincarnate to Remnant?
Like the idea of Kisame being a Crocodile kid or even Menagerie Navy or someone that see's the White Fang a problem, but him being Neptune or a ghost mentor to Neptune would be hilarous
If Neptune ever got over his phobia he'd be whipping out jutsu like Kisame

Itachi either Crow or Weasel Faunus and if you wanna go further Qrow Son Crow

Which do you like better?
Full Reincarnate or Ghost Mentors?
i just want Deidara to be Nora Mentor some how

Here's a twisted AU idea:

Jacques Schnee is supposed to be influential, charismatic, intelligent and ruthless. In other words, good at building connections as you would need to be in business. What if he tried to connect with Ozpin... And ended up joining Ozpin's Cabal to oppose Salem? After all, what good is money if Salem destroys the world?

Peak late capitalism.
Also make him not opposed to other progress in terms of alternate energy.

He just hates that other people have their hands on it not that he hates alternate fuel.

 

[Sliverhero]

Here is part 4 of my ff7 inspired idea

Atlas Command Spire — High Council Briefing

The council chamber was all glass and frost. Below, the city of Atlas gleamed like a jewel buried in ice, a fortress of progress suspended above the world.

General Aldren Vale stood stiffly before the central dais, the sigil of Atlas embossed on his chestplate. He was not a man easily impressed, but even he could not deny the spectacle playing out on the holographic display before him. Footage from Facility S17, a boy, surrounded by light, tearing through steel restraints as though they were smoke.

Jacques Schnee's reflection shimmered beside the projection, his tone calm and rehearsed. "Project DAWN represents a leap forward in Aura synthesis. Imagine, General, soldiers empowered not by Semblance, but by science. Atlas could be untouchable."

Vale's eyes narrowed. "You're asking for unrestricted access to our recruitment pools and you want SDC oversight on research directives?" Dr. Merlot stepped into view, smile sharp as a scalpel. "Think of it as collaboration, General. The Schnee Dust Company provides the materials, you provide the soldiers. Together, we perfect the weapon."

Jacques' gaze slid toward Vale, voice lowering. "Of course, such vision requires funding, and discretion. Certain channels can be arranged… privately."

The gleam of credit chits flickered across the holo-table. Vale hesitated, pride warring with greed and lost. He pressed his hand to the table, sealing the authorization. "You'll have what you need. Atlas will see this through."Jacques smiled. "Atlas always does."

Weeks Later — The Fall of General Vale

It was supposed to be a routine Grimm-clearing operation.A convoy of armored transports moved through Mantle's lower districts, Vale riding at the head, confident, oblivious.

From the shadows above, Merlot watched through a surveillance drone, voice cold over the comm. "Release the pheromone dispersal. Let them come." The first Beowolf struck before the soldiers could react. Then a dozen more. Then the sky darkened with wings.

Vale's panicked calls for air support went unanswered.In the chaos, SDC security forces arrived — pristine white armor glinting under the flames. Leading them was a figure in experimental combat gear, a faint golden glow pulsing from beneath his collar.
Subject DAWN-1, Jean.He moved like light itself, cutting through Grimm in arcs of pure brilliance.Beside him, another soldier in red and black, Adam Taurus, his mask glinting, blade flashing with crimson Dust.

The two cut a path through the chaos while Atlas' own command was wiped out. Jacques watched the broadcast later, feigning sorrow before the cameras. "A tragedy. General Vale died a hero. But thanks to the Schnee Dust Company's intervention, Mantle still stands."

Applause filled the airwaves. Behind the scenes, Merlot's voice purred over the comms. "He served his purpose. Now Atlas is ours to shape." Jacques adjusted his cufflinks, smiling faintly. "Not Atlas, Doctor. The world."

Deep Within Facility S17 — Observation Chamber

Jean stood before the mirror, eyes distant. His reflection flickered between blue and gold.
In the glass, he saw not a soldier — but a ghost.
A whisper rose in the silence.
"Jaune."

He turned sharply. No one there. Only the hum of machines — and the faint, familiar ache of something human, buried beneath the Light.

 

[MetalHead]

A few ideas for the Councilman Arc universe:

-Robyn Hill is a minor government official from Atlas who comes out to try and connect with Jaune. It doesn't go well.

Click to shrink...

Robyn is a populist trying to pass as "Mantle's champion of people". In reality she knows nothing, her ideas are half-baked at best and do not account for consequences of her own actions.
Can offer Jaune to "undermine" Atlas concil. Done in a way that would increase tensions between Vale and Atlas with only superficial benefits for Mantle.

For example, trading with Mantle directly and avoiding Altlas customs tolls.

-Prunella Glocken needs to be shown to be more evil. How do we do it?

Click to shrink...

Cruella's villainy was based around her vanity. So, logically while Prunella won't join Salem (she's evil, not stupid) she can do things that make her look good in public's eyes while being actually harmful to Vale. Not just corruption, but sinking money into useless PR projects under guise of "keeping good spirits against the grimm".

Maybe even actually trying to work together with Robyn, after Jaune kicks her out.

Optionally, being involved in prostitution, specifically, faunus prostitition (she's Cruella after all), full on, like modeling/talent agencies doubling as "escorts", "available good pay jobs" for women.
Can even also try and justify it with "keeping the population happy".

-Rufus Winchester tries to set Jaune up with his hot older daughter. His friends and Cardin work together to keep this from going anywhere.

Click to shrink...

The daughter is actually sane(-ish) and has no desire to compete with a bunch of jealous huntresses, so she goes for Sun (who does need to move on from Blake) or Ren (can work with one co-wife) instead.

Alternatively, a bigger battle maniac than Yang - like Red Sonja or Scarlet el Vandimion. Has no interest in Jaune besides him being a good, tanky opponent she can fight

 

[SharkCultist]

Had a idea where someone (Jaune, Ruby, Ren, maybe cardin for a change of pace).
Is deaf but not.

They can't hear normally but their semblance is a always active one that interprets people's souls as sounds usually some form of music.

I also wanted them to be able to hear Grimm. Either as discordant notes or, in the case of Grimm under direct control of Salem, a funeral dirge.

Ooh, you are cooking with the funeral dirge idea.
Perhaps the semblance could give the characters their theme songs from the soundtrack organically.
Fox uses his semblance to "see" (to get around how he is blind). REN's semblance evolves to let him "see" emotions. They could work. Possibly, you could give that semblance to Sage from Sun's team (to give him some kind of character).

I'm meh but I have to admit that the problem is mostly on my end. FF7 is just not a fandom I've ever been able to really interest myself in, and I have tried. The only time it's ever worked for me was in crossovers that didn't assume much knowledge of the FF setting, so my one critique that isn't about me is that you are assuming knowledge of that setting that I don't have and don't want to research separately.

[SharkCultist]

Had some ideas for Huntsmen specific issues.

Aura poisoning and aura leakage.

Aura leakage is self explanatory. For some reason your aura leaks out of your control. Not fast enough to injure you or drain it but handling anything too delicate will inevitably break it as the aura builds up in it until it pops.

Aura poisoning however is the much more dangerous and insidious sickness. When you go a long time constantly channeling aura or go into high aura use situations back to back in a short period of time you can get poisoned by your aura.

A hunter is more than a normal person, they're more colorful, more expressive, more themselves. Aura poisoning takes this to the extreme. A small crush blooms into manic obsession, Annoyance into murderous rage, compromise and surrender in any form are forgotten.

A telling sign that aura poisoning is setting in is a glow to the eyes that refuses to fade. It is theorized that the glow is caused by aura collecting around the skull.

I think Aura poisoning would be the commonly used term, but technically inaccurate and not the official terminology. Aura-induced emotional disregulation, maybe? Aura disregulation for short?

*remembering that ruby's eyes glow when she uses her sliver eyes*
that make so much senses.

 

[AndrewJTalon]

A few fun ideas:

-Yang says she's felt trapped by her family and wants to be out and free of them... Within earshot of Ruby. Ruby, hurt, runs off and it takes all their friends working together to get the two sisters to talk again-Jaune especially, who has experience with this sort of thing.

-Pyrrha's deadbeat dad Peleus comes to Beacon to try and reconcile with her. He says he's had an awakening, realized what a piece of shit he was, and is trying to make amends with his daughter, and then his ex-wife Athena. Can Pyrrha accept this? Can she rebuild her relationship with her family with the help of her friends?

-Pyrrha gets dragged into a Girls Only Night with Yang, Nora, and Arslan. What kind of chaos ensues?

-Blake attempts to understand how normal, non-terrorist Faunus live and so gets closer to Sun, Arslan and Velvet. How does it go?

Peleus as a shit dad but a reasonably good guy. If he'd stayed would've been the kind of dad who puts zero effort into raising/educating his kid but plenty in being the kid's buddy. He's basically Sun without the NTR or the tail.

-Blake attempts to understand how normal, non-terrorist Faunus live and so gets closer to Sun, Arslan and Velvet. How does it go?

Click to shrink...

All three of these people are still weird. Velvet is probably the closest to a normal person, and the fact that she has a non-faunus parent still makes her not a normal faunus. Sun is normal IF you account for being from Vacuo, but by the standards of Vale/Atlas/Mistral/Menagerie he is NOT - see wandering off to Vale without his team because he felt like it. Arslan is much more religious than most faunus, which colors her experiences.

So Blake THINKS she has the beginning of a grasp on how normal faunus live. Then Jaune introduces her to the Sith family, and she still can't relate to them properly.

Here is part 5 of my ff7 inspired idea.
No one is safe

Mantle Outskirts — Operation Dawnlight

Two Months Before the Fall of General Vale

The call came at midnight. Atlas Command was stretched thin; a Grimm pack had breached Mantle's outer district. No Huntsmen were available for immediate deployment. Taiyang Xiao Long didn't think twice.

He'd been teaching at Signal, restless, missing the field. A last-minute mission from Atlas, a chance to make a difference. He said yes. The convoy arrived at dawn: two armored transports, four Atlas soldiers. Too small a team for a Grimm surge, but they said the rest were waiting at the site.

When they reached the refinery ruins north of Mantle, the snow was untouched. No Grimm tracks. No movement. "Something's off," Tai murmured, hand on his weapon.

Then the comms cut.
From the ridgeline above, white-armored figures descended, rifles crackling with stun charges. No insignia. No unit codes. Atlas soldiers didn't move like that.

Tai fought hard, aura flaring gold through the storm. He dropped three before they brought him down. A dart hissed against his neck.
The world tilted — light folding in on itself.
The last thing he heard before blacking out was a voice, smooth and clinical: "He'll do nicely."

Facility S17 — Sublevel Theta

White light burned his eyes.
Tai woke in restraints, cold metal biting into his skin. Machinery hummed around him; the air smelled of ozone and antiseptic. Dr. Merlot stood beyond reinforced glass, flanked by lab techs in sterile coats.

"Welcome back, Mr. Xiao Long," Merlot said pleasantly. "You've proven… stronger than most." Tai struggled against the restraints. "What did you do to me?"

Merlot smiled faintly. "You volunteered for service. We simply gave you purpose." He gestured toward a console pulsing with pale golden energy. "Atlas recovered traces of the Pool of Light — the raw essence of creation itself, beneath the northern mantle. We've learned to refine it, to bottle the divine."

He stepped closer to the glass, voice lowering. "Most subjects couldn't withstand direct injection. Their Auras fractured. Their bodies tried to contain the power… and failed." He tapped a button. A side wall shimmered to life — a holographic projection of containment pods.

Inside them moved things — shapes once human, now distorted. Pale flesh threaded with veins of radiant white, eyes glowing like lanterns. Their movements twitched, unnatural, almost insect-like.

Merlot's tone was calm, clinical. "They were weak. They let the Light consume them — became beasts made of brilliance and pain. Marvelous, in their own way." He turned his gaze back to Tai. "But you… your Aura resists it. Adapts. You're not burning — you're becoming."

Tai's breathing quickened, gold light flickering from his veins. "You turned them into monsters."
Merlot smiled. "No, Mr. Xiao Long. They turned themselves into proof."

He pressed another command. Needles lowered from above, glinting like glass. "Now… let's see how much further your soul can stretch before it breaks." Tai's scream echoed through the chamber — a raw, golden howl swallowed by the machines.

Observation Log 41-B — Project REVENANT

Subject 07 (Xiao Long, T.) exhibits stable Aura retention under direct Pool-synthesis exposure. No critical degradation observed.
Previous test subjects displayed Light-induced monstrosity — uncontrolled aura crystallization and neural collapse. Terminated for containment safety. Subject's emotional triggers remain anchored to family identifiers. "Summer" elicits rapid energy fluctuation.



Merlot's private annotation: He is more than a vessel. The Light recognizes him, bends for him. The others begged for death. He fights. It's… inspiring.

Patch — One Month Later

Snow drifted quietly through the trees.
Summer Rose sat on the porch of the Xiao Long home, cloak wrapped tight around her shoulders. Yang ran in circles chasing Ruby's giggles through the snow, while the forge light flickered behind them. Qrow Branwen leaned against the railing, flask in hand. "So Atlas finally sent their story?"

Summer nodded. "They said it was a Grimm ambush. No body recovered." Qrow frowned. "That's it? Just… gone?" Summer's gaze stayed on the horizon. "It's Atlas. That's all they ever say."

Qrow shifted uncomfortably. "You don't buy it, do you?" Her voice was soft but steady. "I don't have the luxury not to. I've got two girls to raise. I can't keep hoping every time the door opens."

Atlas — Facility S17

Deep beneath the city, the Pool's synthesized light shimmered through the glass floor of the containment lab. Tai hung suspended, golden veins glowing faintly beneath his skin. Monitors flickered with erratic patterns. His heartbeat was steady, too steady.

Merlot stood before the tank, a faint smile ghosting across his face.
"You've surpassed the others," he said quietly. "Even the monsters envy you now." He placed his hand on the glass. "You will change the world, Mr. Xiao Long, whether you wish it or not."

The glass pulsed beneath his touch. Tai's eyes opened for an instant — bright gold, filled with fury, the monitors screamed. Merlot only smiled wider. "Ah. There it is. The Light remembers who it belonged to."

Patch — That Night

The fire was low, the wind sharp.
Summer tucked Ruby into bed, smoothing the blanket across her small chest. Yang's laughter had faded into steady breathing in the next room. The candle flickered — then went out.

A crimson shimmer split the air, scattering feathers across the floor. Raven Branwen stepped through, her cloak trailing frost. Her eyes darted around the room before fixing on Summer. "Where is he?"



Summer blinked, startled. "Raven? What are you..." "Tai," Raven said, her voice edged with panic. "Atlas says he's dead, but something's off. I've heard whispers, disappearances, sealed convoys, missions no one comes back from. What did they tell you? Even some of the tribe have gone missing?"

Summer swallowed hard. "They said it was Grimm. He died protecting a transport." Raven's expression hardened. "Atlas lies. Always has. And when they lie this big… something's wrong."

Summer's voice cracked. "If you know something." Raven shook her head. "I don't. Not yet." She looked toward the distant glow of Atlas, a storm flashing behind her eyes. "But I can smell blood on the snow , and Atlas is knee-deep in it."

The air shimmered again as she opened a portal."If he's alive," she whispered, "I'll find him." Then she was gone — leaving Summer alone in the dark, clutching her cloak as the wind howled through the trees.

Repost from Spacebattles by K9thefirst1:

Gentlemen... We cracked it. We figured out how Yang and Ironwood dropped off the cliff.

Spoiler: Observe

Now, notice the patch on Ironwood's right temple? Apparently that's an implant meant to help his brain manage his cybernetics.

So in RWBY limb replacement prosthetics of the kind we see in the show require neural links.

Meaning potentially direct links into the Brain! Especially since the Frontal Lobe is where the inhibition centers are.

So.

Yang puts her arm on the Mantle WiFi, giving Watts almost direct access to her brain.

Watts seemed a little too happy about being captured. It wasn't about Salem approaching, it was being able to more easily access James and his Previous gen implant!

He scrambled their brains! That's why Ironwood went evil! It's why Yang suddenly got the hots for Blake despite her abandonment issues and Blake hitting all of them!

That makes more realistic sense then canon. Especially since there would be no real reason for Salem to send a massive Grimm army like she did or even to show up herself.

After all, why not use the tech tied to your enemy to fuck them over?
