    In the void between worlds, in the time between consciousness and dreams, the legacies of the five beasts scatter in shame. Consumed by the teachings of their Master, those who were once siblings in all but blood turned on each other in distrust. What has been said many a time, across many a world holds true:

    "When banded together, unified by a common enemy, they are a noticeable threat. But divide them, place doubt into their minds, and any semblance of power they once had will wash away."

    But then, as is always the case:

    "Perhaps… Victory doesn't require Armies, Monuments or Great Philosophies, but merely a Smaller, More Honest Soul."

    Those with powerful abilities, years of training and experience would fall to the exact same trappings as their predecessors. If disaster was to be averted, this could not be allowed to pass.

    And so, the scattered beasts sought out simpler souls to wield their power and blind The Devil's Eye.

    Of all the potential candidates it came down to these five. They were young, inexperienced and each with their own insecurities yet each held within themselves a solid core of conviction:

    A young girl with a mirrored gaze, born and raised by fallen legends. Latching onto the tales uttered to her in her youth, she runs ever onwards to drive back the encroaching and immortal Darkness. The Power she holds is blinding to behold.

    A girl who bathes in the glory of the sun. Abandoned by one wife and the second dying soon after would leave any man broken, yet with two daughters, it fell to the eldest to both care for the family and seek answers. The Power she holds shall burn away the shadows.

    A girl without a past. Running the streets of a small village from birth is tough. When that village is later erased by Darkness, all hope seems lost. Yet so long as someone walks besides her, she can shake the earth. The Power she holds will shift the world itself.

    A boy who wanders the earth. Torn from his once happy life at a young age by the forces of Darkness, many would break and shatter in such a crucible, yet he found comfort from the void within and the life without. The Power he holds is as silent as the void.

    A young boy destined to be eroded by the past. A simple farm boy is all he is right now, but when the Emerald Wizard falls again, he will assume the cursed mantle and be crushed once again by the sins of the Golden God. The Power he holds is as sure and steady as the march of time itself.

    [] Ruby Rose
    [] Yang Xiao Long
    [] Nora Valkyrie
    [] Lie Ren
    [] Oscar Pine

    The choice made, one of the legacies pulled the slumbering soul into the void.

    But which one did so?

    The Unicorn. Leader of the Five and the driving force of all the group's actions. Although they are the most respected of the lot, that is a double edged sword. Favours the soul crushed by time.

    The Snake. Impartial spy and judge of the group, charged with the most distasteful of roles, they drowned in the word of the law, entirely forgetting the spirit. Favours the soul who walks in silence.

    The Bear. Arguably the most important member as the lynchpin it was nonetheless their call for trust that finally shattered the group. Favours the soul who will move the world.

    The Leopard. Charged with solving the last puzzle left by their Master, their constant questioning drove the others away. Favours the soul who shines like the sun.

    The Fox. Tasked with preparing the next generation, they lost touch with their siblings and thus couldn't head off the brewing disaster. Favours the soul who sees the light.

    [] Unicornis
    [] Anguis
    [] Ursus
    [] Leopardos
    [] Vulpeus
    GM Notes: Ok, if sections of this seem familiar, it's because it's an altered mirror version of the quest "Once Upon A Kingdom Hearts" by @LordPanther14, with their permission of course.

    Now; a few words of warning;

    First off, Volume 6 is canon for this quest, with all that entails for Ozpin and Salem. So think carefully if you want to choose Oscar. Just because this is the Volume 1 timeframe doesn't mean Ozpin won't be taking up residence early.

    Second, I have 5 active RPs, so this quest will only be updated every few weeks. To compensate for this, Updates will be longer after the Dive To The Heart to tide you over.

    Third, the "Legacies" have other synergies, so even though I revealed one for each, feel free to experiment and theorise, who knows what great powers are hidden by which combos?

    Finally, this narrative jumps off the Union X story even if the quest is AU to KH, so at least know that plotline, otherwise the second vote will mean nothing to you, hell, the whole plot won't make sense.

    Goldilocks and a Bear teaming up is humorous to me, will come back and try to do some analysis later.

    Either her or Oscar.

    [X] Vulpeus

    On account of her being the one who favors Ruby, although I can probably be convinced to switch to Unicornis.

    I'm holding off on V6 until it finishes so I watch it all in one go, so I'm not entirely sure what your talking about (and trying to forget what I do know). That said, I'm going to ask people to not give me spoilers (pretty sure spoilers are still going to get mentioned, just, please, not on my account unless it's really necessary).

    *sigh of relief* That's fine. Gives V6 more time to finish before spoilers crop up here.

    I know I read the Tropes pages for it several months ago. Does that count?

    At a guess:

    Vulpeus will mean we have something to do with the Dandelions (unless this is around the time of the main series instead of X).

    Unicornis will probably lead to Ruby emphasizing her leadership role more, and maybe more emphasis on Oscar being Ozpin's successor/reincarnation.

    Ursus will probably lead to Ruby emphasizing her status as The Paragon, and Yang would probably emphasize being The Heart, but I'm not sure why he favors Nora.

    Not sure about the others.

    Also, @Xalgeon, why is the text in the first and second posts grey?

    [X] Vulpeus

    OOC: This is going to be one hell of a ride.
     
    I should also mention that whichever RWBY character you choose effects your party, they each get one "Angel* and one "Devil"
     
    [X] Yang Xiao Long
    [X] Ursus

    Yang's officially described role as the Heart of the group is as, if not more, important to her character than her desire for truth and answers. Also Goldilocks.
     
    Any ideas who everyone will get? They're all RWBY characters
