So, rather than naming the shield, I was thinking we could instead name the entire armor/equipment set. Since that's how conventions tend to work in rwby. You have a piece of equipment that serves two/three or more different purposes, and you give it one fancy name.
For naming conventions, something simple/direct involving colors and in latin seems appropriate. As that's where Prok was going with Pala Victoria, and since that's the Arc tradition we know about, with Crocea Mors.
[X] Candidus Praeventores. Most literally, the bright vanguard. But also, the candid commander. The white cavalry. Radiant, kind. Anticipating, preventing. For the protective armament of the developer and representative of an advanced idea that is now become humanity's protector and future- yes. It fits.
And if we chose to break the name down into parts, "Praeventores" could refer to the shield and "Candidus" to whatever offensive weapon we choose to be in the mechashift armor. (Nothing more candid than a bullet/sword to the face).
I feel this name fits for a lot of reasons. Some of it explained above, some of it simply because Jaune will be part of an ambitious hunter team, and of course there's also all the stuff where the armor's color is reminiscent of the Process, Jaune's role in that, its role in Remnant, etc. It doesn't need to be spelled out too much. People here are good with words, themes, connotations. Pala Victoria's description provides context as well.
For the main resources used for the words' meanings and connotations, these three links: Candidus Praventores Vanguard.
Though of course this is pending Prok's approval, since we don't yet know what ideas he might have had about the mechashift armor, and if this might interfere with that.
On to the rest of the vote! I don't understand computer terminology so advice and clarification/summarization of QPU vote would be welcome, as would ideas on Ozpin/data vote, and confirmation on if redshirt's is valid.
