I propose a VERY interesting turn of events where VIZ quietly cancels Volume 10 and forces CRWBY to focus on producing RWBY Chibi for awhile. THAT series was actually good even under CRWBY. Maybe after milking RWBY Chibi they'll try to release Volume 10 late, tank the ratings, and go back to milking RWBY Chibi.

I... would not mind that. Only good thing in 9 was RK Jaune and the concept of the Ever After. Really didn't like the fixation on certain things and yet more suffering for Jaune.

I am half convinced with how CRWBY are that Weiss will end up with Jaune only for Jaune to die due to rapid aging or something, like Aang but worse, so Weiss ends up with Ruby.

there doesnt have to be a hero and a princess, I mean Jaune could have pointed ears and people guess what faunus feature is that and he says hes is a hyrulean, some of the tools and weapons could appear like the hookshot or deku nut, so many possabilities

Mombi- Could mentally organize everything perfectly.
Ann Green- Could be able to go unnoticed.
Mulberry- Could have some kind of infinite storage.
I can't really think of anything else.

Yeah the RK Jaune and the Ever After itself are very good ideas and the inhabitants of the EA been this weird creatures that funtion on a logic foreign to Remmant is also good, i mean the paper pleaser trying to died because that how they live cicle work is inspired and curious cat im suprised they manage to screw that one up because i can so many ways to make it a better characther.

Another crack idea: Jaune is secretly a blood knight on par with Cu Chulainn. It's not a split personality or a mental issue, it's just that he's somehow both a blond goof and an utterly terrifying warrior in the ring. He's just not used to fighting like a knight.

Which Pyrrha comes to find out when she disarms him in a school spar.

Jaune: "Hey...hey Pyr? They call you the Invincible Girl, right?"
Nora: "Why is Jaune-Jaune smiling? What is this feeling? It's like...like I want to stand beside him and...and...CLOBBER SOMEONE."
Jaune: swings Crocea Mors like a greatsword and shatters the floor when the tip hits it "THAT JUST MEANS NOBODY'S MADE YOU BLEED YET!"
Pyrrha: *heart goes doki-doki*
Nora: "BATTLE BROTHER!"
Ren: "Nora no."
Pyrrha: "That just for show or are you gonna show me a good time~? I...I mean - EEEEE-"

Yang: "I heard Cereal Girl let ya win, VB! I may have missed the last match, but this isn't even going to be a warmup-"
Jaune: "I heard I was supposed to fight a dragon! WHY DO I ONLY SEE A PUNY LIZARD?!"
 
This question is mainly directed at AJ Talon, but I'm curious: if Jaune had to describe each member of his family using just five words or short phrases, what would he say about them?

Yes, they're his family, and he loves them, but I'm sure their relationships aren't always sunshine and rainbows. I'd be interested to hear how he actually sees each of them, including their annoying habits, flaws, and the things that make them difficult to live with.

Also, I still find it absolutely hilarious that one of the main reasons people seem to use Jaune so much in fanfiction is that he has so little established backstory. It's funny that having so little information about his family and personal life has made him such a convenient character for writers to build their own ideas around.

It's more than that for Jaune. Thanks to CRWBY's sheer incompetence he is basically the only fully realized character. He has an arc (heh): He changes over the course of the show. He does actually show moments of growth and competence and realizes his Semblance by Volume 6, saving Weiss. And then they try to undo that through Volumes 7-9 because they listened to the most insane part of their fanbase.

(CRWBY literally said in interviews they had Jaune stop using his Semblance in Volumes 7-9 because they realized it was Easy Mode and were too incompetent to figure out how to manage it so he wasn't a gamebreaker. Off the top of my head: his Aura pool is not infinite, the technique takes a lot out of him, he has to keep boosting his friends or it wears off so he's a target, etc. But addressing this would also mean Jaune isn't the butt of jokes anymore and is a key part of victory, so of course they couldn't have him do that).

Then, as the Rusted Knight, him being in the Ever After and guiding RWBY around gives them the key to victory: The God Tree that can kill anything. If they'd actually put some thought into it, Jaune's ordeal and Ruby at her lowest point can give them the means to save Remnant. All the sacrifices they have made weren't for nothing if Jaune and RWBY can put together that ending up in the Ever After isn't them being stuck, but an opportunity. And having a means of opening the portal back up and Jaune being the guide (after RWBY and their allies beat up Salem so she'll listen) means Salem could go on to her final rest and SAVE REMNANT.

In short, RWBY can be the front line, Jaune can be the White Mage who helps them win. Everyone is useful, nobody is disrespected. Indeed, this would show Jaune coming full circle: He started as weak and prideful and wanting to be a hero all on his own. Now he is the strong support and helps the rest of his friends, also heroes, save the day. It would work great.

But again, CRWBY was too incompetent and too focused on yuri bullshit and supporting MAID for Ruby to think this through.

In all these ways, Jaune is the closest to a traditional boy protagonist in a genre that is generally male dominated. He has room to grow, he has a lot to learn, he's hit the stations of the Hero's Journey more reliably than Ruby or any other character, and he isn't obnoxious (in the later volumes). Where RWBY got worse and worse, he got better. It's a strange paradox but why he's so popular among non-insane RWBY fans.

As for Jaune's family? A few thoughts:

Isabel: "Mother, love her but frustrating."
Nick: "Dad, love him, admire him, why is he such a dork?"
Lilac: "She's basically a goddess but she never spoke up for me to Mom and Dad."
Saphron: "My favorite."
Aqua: "Hilariously exhausting."
Tangy: "Scary at times."
Coral and Verdy: "Terrifying but not on purpose."
Orchid: "Cute and nerdy."
