What if Semblances had a Bankai mode?

What if Semblances had a Bankai mode?

To maintain some Semblance (ha) of balance, this super mode would not only drain a massive chunk of Aura, it can also only be achieved when a Huntsman acts in perfect alignment with their core philosophy that they bury deep inside. Once the mode ends, the user's Aura is completely exorcised, which leaves them physically exhausted and vulnerable.

How would you feel if the team shadow dropped an Apathy Grimm horror short film?

With the whole partnership letting them do more projects thing happening I figured I would bring this idea I had up.

So we know what happened at Brunswick Farms with the owner, and the Apathy Grimm, sealing the water tunnel, everything, my idea is that this short film visualizes the story for us to see.

The first act could be the owner Bartleby seeing how the estate was hemorrhaging money, then him having the idea of using the Apathy Grimm to keep the farm peaceful so he could cut down costs on Huntsmen protection, and doing the idea of luring a couple Apathy Grimm in the water tunnels to get an effect without doing too much harm, then He leaves saying he’ll seal the tunnels tomorrow but then we cut to the middle of the night where we see the rest of the pack following the other 2 into the tunnels, and act 1 ends with Bartleby sealing the tunnels next day.

The second act could show the deterioration of the town over time with not immediate progression, after a bit Bartleby notices the town quieting down, so thinking his plan worked, fires most of the huntsmen/huntresses leaving 1 or 2 left, then we see the town deteriorating over time and eventually 1 of the 2 remaining hunters if Bartleby kept 2 hunters around, leaves, and the act ends with the town not having enough food to feed everyone and the infrastructure falling apart from lack of maintenance, and Bartleby realizing the mistake of his actions.

And the third act then begins with Bartleby using the last of his strength to inform the remaining huntsmen what he did, but not realizing the rest of the pack wandered in, tells the huntsmen there aren’t that many of them, then goes to lay in bed knowing if the huntsmen fails, he won’t have the strength to get out of be, then the scene shifts to the Huntsmen breaking open the seal to the tunnels and entering, only expecting a few Apathy Grimm, not knowing he’s walking into his death, only to run into way more than he can handle, after trying to fight them off to no real avail, he attempts to flee, ditching his weapon and other eq in the process, but eventually the Apathy Grimm get to him mentally and he just sits against a wall just saying, “this is okay…”, and we cut to black, ending the movie, right before the Apathy Grimm completely close in on him, then the credits play.

Then maybe or maybe not there could be a post credits scene where we see the corpse of the Huntsmen, now just a skeleton and clothes, as the camera pans or just goes to above ground, where we see team RWBY + Qrow and Maria arriving at the farm, maybe not going above ground and showing them, but just literally anything to signify that we are now at the time they were at the farm, or maybe just not have post credits scene at all, that could work to.

Also, I have seen some people be confused to why the corpse of the Huntsmen in the tunnel doesn’t have the weapon or any ammo near it, this could answer why that is, my theory is that like with Team RWBY, the Apathy Grimm made his weapon feel heavy, so when his objective shifted to escaping with his life, instead of keeping his weapon and ammo, he ditched them to maximize his chance of escaping.

Can current day team RWBY and JNR desear a herrscher?

for Those that do not know what a herrscher is (Down is copied from the wiki)

Herrscher — also known as a LawmanLawmaker, or Ruler — is an envoy, or rather apostle of the Honkai, who inhabit human vessels that are capable of adapting to it, manifesting out of the host's negative emotions. They are powered via a Herrscher Core, which is essential to their entire existence. In the Current Era, Herrscher Cores are in an alive state, so if the Core is not neutralized when the body is destroyed, the Herrscher can take over another person as a vessel, provided that vessel has the Core implanted. 

Herrschers, as their title suggests, have become more than human, effortlessly transcending human capabilities. They are capable of bending worldly laws to their whim and command entire armies of zombies and Honkai Beasts, to overwhelm and destroy human civilization, the goal of the Honkai. 

One Herrscher alone is quite powerful, but against humanity's technology, it often takes more than one of them to actually destroy the world. Additionally, as humanity adapts, the Honkai adapts, and the Herrschers adapt too. Two Herrschers of the Previous Era were able to bring destruction to civilization with abilities engineered specifically to counter them, while lacking the ability to contend with the destructive capability of other Herrschers.

rwby x Deadlock (adam and rem)

I know nobody cares, but I bought a cheap graphics tablet and tried drawing on the PC; it was... overwhelming.

Mini-context: Adam kicks the bucket in Argus and wakes up in the middle of "Cursed Apple, ." Now, without really understanding what the hell is going on, he ventures into the ritual so that one of the patrons might send him back home—and allow him to exact his revenge.

Rem: Why does the girl of your dreams have four ears?
Adam: Buddy, don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong.

An explanation for why Salem can't just send Grimm rampaging over Vacuo like she did Atlas

Ever since Volume 8 had Salem royally beating the tar out of Atlas with what is basically a full-scale direct Grimm invasion, many have asked "Why doesn't she just do that all the time?"

It's a fair question; Atlas' military might has been recognised the world over as early as Volume 2 and Ironwood's ultimate goal has been to assemble a military force capable of destroying Salem and her Grimm no matter how many holes he has to leave in Mantle's walls to do it.

It stands to reason that, if Salem can defeat the world's mightiest military in a direct contest of force, she could just... do that to all the other nations and take their Maidens and Relics without all this subterfuge.

I argue that she indeed can do this and succeed... but bulldozing kingdoms doesn't get her what she wants.

According to Ozpin, Salem's plan is indeed to get the world destroyed by bringing the four Relics together to call the Gods to Remnant and show them that the world is divided and must be destroyed, and her along with it. A sound plan with a major hiccup; as Salem has personally experienced, the Gods are fickle and easily ticked off by being played. If Salem just flattens the kingdoms to get the Relics and then goes "Look, here are the Relics, humanity's divided, can I die now?", then odds are that they're just going to put her in a gacha ball and throw her into a gumball machine for being so transparently deceptive. For any plan, never bet on Gods agreeing with you.

So Salem's course isn't to win; it's to make Ozpin lose. She needs plausible deniability.

While Atlas has proven she can indeed dump Grimm everywhere and just take whatever she wants, the important thing is for humanity to be divided for the Gods to actually do what she needs them to do. If she kept steamrolling kingdoms, it's more likely they'd unite in the face of her overwhelming and destructive threat. Hence, her plans hinge on turning humanity against itself, such as how Cinder used the Vytal Festival to make hunters look brutal and bad.

I say that, however... if that was true, then shouldn't Salem have been unable to bulldoze Atlas like I just said? Well, Atlas is an exceptional kingdom by its own design; it has spent decades sabotaging the other nations for its own empowerment so that it was isolated on the international stage. Even the nation itself was beset by its own partisan politics because Atlas was leaving its own people cold to bolster its own military, nevermind other nations like Vacuo.

The fall of Atlas, having stranded itself, made Salem's onslaught feel more like an outlier and exceptional circumstance. That exceptional circumstance does not exist for Vacuo and, besides, Ruby's message has alerted the world to the fact that she exists and that Salem is organising the Grimm to destroy humanity. She can't hide behind Vacuo's vices to run roughshod.

So here we are. Humanity is holding out in Vacuo and relations are tense. Still, everyone's surviving together for now, fighting off Grimm and protecting whatever they can because there's nowhere else to go (one might say Mistral but, for the sake of discussion, let's just take the show's word for it). On top of that, they know Salem exists and is bearing down on them. If there's one thing humanity is at this stage, it's united, and an invasion is just going to reinforce that.

Enter the Asturias twins. Salem couldn't have asked for better pawns. How else to turn humanity's last stand against itself by brainwashing the close-knit community and literally making them turn on each other? If Salem can stir up distrust and despair by getting to key members of the resistance and making them fight the rest, then humanity will be divided while she finds the Maiden and the final Relic and gets ready to bring the set together to show the Gods her handiwork.

Salem does have the forces to bring Vacuo to its knees. She could destroy humanity herself. But that's not what she wants; she wants the Gods to come down and break her curse themselves and she's not going to accomplish that by force.

If you were to replace Pyrrha's involvement in Volume 3 with one of Team RWBY's members, who would you want it to be?

Ruby for me, especially with the drama it would bring between Qrow and the group.

Planned RWBY Headcanon Rewrite: New Semblance For Yang Part 2 (Image Courtesy Of RWBY Wiki)

A couple of months ago, I made a post asking for suggestions/ideas as to an alternate Semblance for Yang Xiao Long.

In my headcanon rewrite for RWBY that I am planning, Yang was a character that I wanted to make several changes to, and one of the main ones was her Semblance. I wanted Yang to have a Semblance that still made her the heavy-hitter of Team RWBY, but wasn't something that required her to take damage in order to power/charge it.

When I made that post, I received a multitude of very cool Semblance ideas (a very big thank you to all who sent replies). And after much deliberation, and using some of the ideas I was sent as a guide, I have finally settled on what Yang's new Semblance will be in my headcanon rewrite.

Yang's new Semblance is going to be called Critical Strikes. Critical Strikes has two effects. First, the more Aura Yang has (she has identical Aura reserves to Jaune), the more damage her strikes deal (the damage drop-off is why her preferred firearm attachment for Ember Celica is shotguns). Second, when Yang's strikes hit a vital area/weak spot on her opponent's body (i.e. their throat, sternum, groin, collarbone, joints, old injuries, etc.), she deals extra damage to her opponent's Aura and has a much higher chance of breaking their Aura.

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on the final result that I've come up with for Yang's new Semblance. As always, please be respectful when posting your replies.

Planned RWBY Rewrite Plot Angle: Jaune x Weiss x Pyrrha Love Triangle And Semblance Malfunction

FNDM, I'd like to get your thoughts on something I want to do as a possible plot angle for my planned RWBY headcanon rewrite.

Here's some major plot points regarding my planned RWBY rewrite:

-I plan to have the Fall of Beacon not occur until what would be RWBY and JNPR's final year at Beacon (Cinder launches her attack just as the graduation ceremony is about to begin). During this extended time at Beacon (which will cover all of Volumes 1-3), Jaune actually starts to return Pyrrha's feelings for him and they start to show the signs of becoming an official couple.

-Pyrrha will survive the Fall, but her Achilles Tendon will be shredded by Cinder's arrow, and she will need to undergo serious rehab for that injury.

-After the Fall, everyone (minus Weiss, who will still be kidnapped and taken back to Atlas by her father, where she and her mother will end up having their own adventures and perils) is staying at Patch, getting therapy, and training (and secretly gathering allies) for a planned assault to retake Beacon from the Grimm (this will be the climax of my Volume 4).

-Team JNR is throwing their full weight into helping Pyrrha with her rehab, but Jaune and Pyrrha's romantic relationship is now on the rocks because she sent him away in that weapons locker during the Fall. As such, his trust in her has taken a major blow and he starts having his feelings for Weiss come back (whenever Pyrrha tries to bring up the issue, he basically just blows her off and changes the subject, much to her chagrin).

-At the same time, Weiss, during their extended time at Beacon, started to develop feelings for Jaune as well, even though he was becoming closer to Pyrrha. Those new feelings for Jaune still remain after they are reunited at the Battle Of Haven.

-Here's the part I really want your opinion on, FNDM. During their rehab on Patch in my Volume 4, Jaune unlocks his Semblance (which is still Aura Amplification). However, because Jaune hasn't fully figured out what his feelings for Pyrrha truly are, his Semblance will often malfunction and quit working when he tries to use it on her.

-At first this issue is just limited to Pyrrha, but when Weiss rejoins the group, it starts to happen when Jaune tries to use his Semblance on HER as well. This becomes a major problem because it will happen again when Weiss nearly dies at Haven (in my version, though, she doesn't get hit by Cinder's spear because she's not focused and distracted after her fight with Vernal. Instead, Cinder's spear will be aimed at RUBY, and Weiss will shove Ruby out of the way and take the blow). At first Jaune's Semblance is acting unstable when he tries to use it on Weiss, but then Pyrrha takes Jaune's hands and uses her own Aura to help stabilize the process and heal Weiss.

-After Haven, Jaune's Semblance malfunctioning on Pyrrha and/or Weiss will become less frequent, but still sometimes happen. Ultimately, my endgame pairing for Jaune in my rewrite is Arkos. Weiss will ultimately realize Pyrrha is the best choice for Jaune and encourage him to repair and restart his relationship with her, but he will still be hesitant to do so. Jaune and Pyrrha will finally admit that they still love each other thanks to the Ever After, and then Jaune's Semblance will start working properly full-time once this confession is made.

So what are your thoughts on this love triangle plot angle I've created, FNDM? If you were to write a Jaune x Pyrrha x Weiss love triangle plot, how would you write it differently? If you have any tweaks you think I should make to this plot angle, I would truly appreciate any advice you can give.

As always, please be respectful when posting your replies.

Do you remember the subplot in volume 9 where the rest of the team reunites with Nymor?

I screamed with joy to see that Nymor was still alive

He previously appeared in volumes 2 and 3 and was always close to Team JNPR.

But after the attack on Beacon, she was only mentioned in volume 6.

In my opinion, regarding its origin, I loved "How Can I Have the Powers of a Nevermore," especially when she helped Weiss and Velvet.
