RWBY: fixing the world (or ruining it, up to you)

AN: Ok it is time for me to come clean a bit, all the choices you have made so far have been affecting your character's skills and abilities. The choices here will be far more blatant though. You have just been gaining skills and abilities overall after the character creation and background choices. The character you started with would not have been skilled enough for beacon lol! I will show the skills and abilities you gained after the whole intro process is over.

In any case, your choices in the forest and right here affect you more than anything so far! So be warned and consider everything going forward carefully!

Also rolls fort he chapter are above.

Author out! (enjoy the update!)

'Hmm, it is still a bit early. You could go ahead of your classmates and talk to Ozpin and Glynda for a bit. Or you could wait in the locker room after you were ready and talk to the students as they arrived, see what happens and all that. Or finally you could grab a bit of extra dust from your room to be extra prepared for initiation.'

'I probably should go see Ozpin. It has been a bit since we were able to talk and he might have an update on the Salem situation.' Lux thought with a determined expression as he continued walking to the locker room. 'Besides, it would be good to know what Grimm to expect in the Forest.'

Arriving at the locker room ahead of everyone, Lux quickly goes to his locker and begins to take out the equipment you had stored in there in preparation for initiation. In it was your blade as well as an assortment of goods for you to use, they were....

Vote on what your locker contains! Votes must be in plan format!

First, What dust crystals do you have inside to fuel your Dustcasting? choose 3 (4 if you choose to have 1 less dust vial.) Crystals are all small crystals
[] Fire crystal
[] Lightning crystal
[] Water crystal
[] Wind crystal
[] Earth crystal

Secondly, what kind of dust vials are in the locker? choose 3 (Cannot be used to power your spells)
[] Fire dust
[] Water dust
[] Wind dust
[] Earth dust
[] You only took 1 vial, and instead took an extra crystal.

Thirdly and finally, you recently made and trained in some extra equipment. What were they? choose 2
[] A set of armor made by you with the highest quality materials you could buy that you infused with dust with the aid of a Beacon professor skilled in it. (Novice Steel chainmail infused with dust, +45 armor, some minor extra effects, +dust infusion skill, +blacksmithing skill, +new teacher relation.)
[] A set of Dustweave clothes you wove yourself with he aid of a Beacon professor skilled in it. (Novice Dustweave clothes, +20 armor, significant extra effects, +new teacher relation, +Dustweaving skill.)
[] A new Pistol you built and trained in with the aid of a Beacon professor. (Novice Pistol of your choice, +Gunsmithing skill, +marksmanship skillx2, + new teacher relation.)
[] A new 'Rifle'* you built and trained in with the aid of a Beacon professor. (Novice 'Rifle'* of your choice, +Gunsmithing skill, +marksmanship skill, + new teacher relation.)
[] A new bow you built and trained in with the aid of a Beacon professor. (Novice Bow of your choice, +Bowyer skill, +marksmanship skillx2, + new teacher relation.)
[] A set of adjustable dust weights you made and trained in with the aid of a Beacon professor. (Dust weights adjustable up to a weight total of 80 lbs on each limb plus twice that for torso, +extra agi and phys, +Dust infusion skill, +hand to hand combat style of your choice, + hand to hand combat skill, +new teacher relation.)

*Rifle is basically anything heavier than a pistol but lighter than a grenade launcher in terms of firepower. Think of it as any two handed gun thats not an explosive based weapon.

"Hi Ozpin, it's been awhile." You state as you arrive at the cliff overlooking the Emerald Forest. "With initiation starting soon I figured you would be here with a touch of free time. Thought I would ask if there is any info on the Grimm currently in the forest that you are willing to tell me about."

"mmmm" Ozpin begins taking a sip of his coffee as he considers. "Currently in the forest the only notable Grimm we have found are an Alpha Beringal, an Alpha Deathstalker and an Alpha Nevermore. Though there has been signs of something a bit more threatening in the forest. Though we have yet to confirm any direct sighting of it, it is likely there is an Alpha King Taijitu in the forest, possibly even a lesser Hydra given the number of trails. I would watch yourself out there young Lux."

"I see... sounds pretty bad, I assume you will intervene if the Hydra factor is true and it attacks?" You inquire. "Also has there been any news about the Queen and here group?"

"Of course we will intervene if that happens. However we cannot get there instantly and you and the other students will have to hold it off until we do if it happens." Ozpin gives a mild look of recrimination for doubting him. " As for the Queen, there has been some minor news, but the students should be arriving at any moment. I will call you to my office in a few days and we can update you on the whole situation then."

"Thank you Ozpin." You state as you ready yourself moving away as the first students begin to arrive.

_______________________________________________________Scene Change________________________________________________________________


After all the students arrive Ozpin and Glynda begin to instruct them on what will happen going forward.

"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today, your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest." Ozpin begins

"Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of "teams." Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... today." Glynda continues

"What? Ohhh..." You hear Ruby groan.

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well." Ozpin informs everyone smiling as he sips from his coffee"That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years."

"Whaaaat?!" Ruby Screams out.

"See? I told you-!" someone else says

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... or you will die." Ozpin finishes. "You will be monitored and graded through the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, as well as your standing, and grade you appropriately. Are there any questions?"

"Yeah, um, sir?" Jaune asks raising his hand.

"Good! Now, take your positions." Ozpin orders ignoring Juane.

Everyone begins strikes a pose on their tile. Nora crouches low, Ren wields his weapons, Yang raises her fists, Ruby readies her body, and Jaune is still raising his hand. You however have your wings tucked in but ready to spread as needed with a feral grin formed on your face.

"Uh, sir? I've got, um... a question." Jaune states not noticing Weiss being launched into the forest. "So, this landing... strategy thing... Uh, wha-what is it? You're, like, dropping us off or something?"

"No. You will be falling." Ozpin answers

"Oh, uh, I see... So, like, did you hand out parachutes for us?" Jaune asks completely oblivious to students being launched out one after the other.

"No. You will be using your own 'landing strategy.'"

"Uh-huh... Yeah." Jaune falters confused just before he flies off. "So, what exactly is a landing strategYYY!..."

Finally your turn comes and you are launched, however unlike everyone else you can choose exactly where you land thanks to your wings.

Where do you go? This is not part of the Plan and will be counted separately!
[] East Quadrant: Russel, Yang, Blake and Pyrrha landed here.
[] West Quadrant: Cardin, Nora and Ren landed here.
[] South Quadrant: Dove, Weiss, Ruby and Juane landed here.
[] North Quadrant: No one landed here that you saw but it is much closer to the relics letting you pick your partner easier.

AN Note_____________________________________

The final vote here determines your starting teammate, how long you spend in the forest and gives 1-2 skills based on where you pick. IF you pick north your teammate will be given based on a 1d6 roll where each choice has 2 chances of being picked. Your skills gained in the North will instead boost your current skills slightly and give you a survival based skill.
