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

Intro part 1: Arrival and establishing the backstory
'Finally, I am at Beacon about to become a student here after I beat everything Remnant could throw at me.' Lux thought to himself. 'The grimm that destroyed Mountain Glenn couldn't take me down, as I broke through my limits, gained my aura and slaughtered the ones that dared to attack me before getting out of there on my wings.'

'I admit, without the weapon of that huntsman I had found I likely would have still been finished off by the Nevermore that tried to chase me, but finding it is just more proof of how favored I am by fate.' a smug smirk showed on Lux's face confident in his superiority. 'I survived on my own in the wilds after that killing any grimm that came after me for a few years, before ending up ????'

vote for where Lux ended up:
[] In vale surviving whatever the streets could throw at him. (??? gained, +relations with ???, Thievery, moving silently and hiding skills gained!)
[] On Patch being taken in by a small family and befriending some of the residents in the area before being taught a bit by the father of his new friends who was a teacher at the local combat school. (??? gained, + relations with ???, increased stats, Hand to hand combat skill gained!)
[] at a small hut in an isolated valley (??? gained, + relations with ???, dustcasting gained, several new spells learned, all spells go up to level 3!)

'Truly I am beloved by fate itself to grant me so many opportunities.' Lux finished his thoughts on his past before continuing forward taking the final step off the ramp of the Airship that brought him to Beacon with a wide smile on his face. 'Hmm the campus is truly magnificent, well I still have plenty of time before the introduction starts what should I do? Help out one of my lessers like the poor blonde fool puking his guts out over there? Talk to one of the few people who could arguably be as beloved by fate as myself such as the schnee heiress and see if she has the same opinion as her father on Faunus? Go and chat up one of my fellow Faunus in the form of the cat lady up in that tree reading in the hopes of some fun in the future? Oh wait, do I recognize that girl jumping up and down with the red cloak and hair? Or I could just explore the campus I mean none of them are truly worthy of my great presence. hmmm so many choices, what to do indeed.'

Vote for who Lux goes to talk to or not to talk to anyone.
[] Juane ( gain trait ???, + relations with Juane!)
[] Weiss ( gain trait ???, + relations with Weiss!)
[] Blake ( gain trait ???, + relations with Blake!)
[] Ruby ( gain trait ???, + relations with Ruby!)
[] Explore ( gain trait ???, gain knowledge of beacons campus, gain skill ???)

AN:
so there you all go, you have arrived at Beacon get to choose your past and boost your character just a little bit more and then you get to choose who to make as a friend! now fair warning, This trait effects your personality and future interactions! its a big deal! also the amount of + relations can vary depending on who you talk to.

NO PLANS!
 
Okay here's what I'm picking and why

[X] at a small hut in an isolated valley (??? gained, + relations with ???, dustcasting gained, several new spells learned, all spells go up to level 3!)

We have high aura control plus having extra spells to use that would be nice.

I almost went for exploring however I believe Weiss would be more beneficial
Explore ( gain trait ???, gain knowledge of beacons campus, gain skill ???)
The knowledge of the beacon campus would be nice so I almost went for that however compared to the possible benefits of being in contact with Weiss it does not measure up

[X] Weiss ( gain trait ???, + relations with Weiss!)
First of Weiss uses a lot of dust so we have something to use as talking point also,
I also think she would be interested about discussing aura magic theory.
Not to mention if we become her friend she might be able to offer us some political contacts eventually.
Also I think it would be in character to talk to the most politically powerful figure as an equal (thinking anyone else is bellow him)

ok dude as I said in the AN.... be EXTREMELY careful with what you pick and the ??? traits are gamechanging!

basically you can consider the ??? rewards to all be EXTREMELY valuable things and you need to take your OOC knowledge into account before picking anything!

as for IC stuff, the who to talk to choice GREATLY effects your character going forward. Like as in adds a whole aspect to your personality. these traits will determine options and relationships going forward too! Like for example picking who you talk to here could ruin any chance whatsoever of having any kind of truly positive relationship with certain characters! Whereas other traits could boost relations with many characters going forward! Heck some traits could even result in you being more inclined to join Cinder and wreck the world!

so I repeat, whenever you think you have something chosen? go back, consider the possible rewards the ??? marks could be and base your choice off those more than the secondary things.


EDIT: no choices are bad don't get me wrong, but the who you talk to choice at the very least defines who your character is going forward by providing them with what they value most.

The other choice of your background provides VERY large rewards going forward. (like literal gamechangers)

we need to stop the conflict from our team and juane

not a fan of this build but we can be a dragon and raise our stats other ways so it not that big a deal.

Draconian Presence level 8: Can alter up to 4 targets moral within 50 feet of you by 40%. Or can alter 1 primary stat on up to 2 targets by 15%.

we can change the moral up and down right and stats what about at level 8 how much dragon can we become and another question how do we raise or semblance and can semblance change since they are a reputation of who you are I know this is stretch i just want to buff up the semblance because it is similar to bio drive but one works on stats and the other works moral?

they work in completely different ways, I am sorry but Bio Drive can't happen. The most a semblance can change is the specifics of what it can do and how well it can do something.

as for dragon stuff? no too early to get any changes.
 
I just want to know are we hiding that we are a Faunus or not?

thats cute, you think you can hide that. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Dude... 1st you have a dragon tail.... a dragon tail aka the giant thicc long tail? 2nd you have dragon eyes which with the slit pupils I don't think contacts would help. and 3rd? you have Dragon wings.... big giant scaled leathery wings on your back.... even folded they are pretty obvious.

look at the picture of Lux lol. The tail alone makes hiding impossible. This is the downside to having all the power of a Dragon.

hmmmmmm I may end the vote tonight if I get a couple more votes and there is no tie.

If I do I will almost certainly get another update out tonight.

ok everyone, we have 2 ties at the moment!

Lux's background is either making his way to patch or the cottage.

And what you do before going to the assembly is tied between exploring and talking with Ruby! 1 more vote or someone changing their vote will be enough to break the tie!

ummm your not meeting anyone with explore you are specifically viewing everyone around you as worthless humans or normal basic pathetic faunus and ignoring their presence.

As for the vote now only 1 is tied.

in that case this the final change
[X] at a small hut in an isolated valley (??? gained, + relations with ???, dustcasting gained, several new spells learned, all spells go up to level 3!)
[X] Ruby ( gain trait ???, + relations with Ruby!)

she is a person nice who can hopefully stand his arrogance

edit sorry for so many changes

lol I thought that might have been the case XD

welp, if no one votes or changes theirs in the next 20 minutes I am closing the vote and rolling a 1d2 to see which background wins. (I can finally roll! yay!)
 
Now people that voted pach allow me to make an argument against it:
First we have minimal use for hand to hand combat due to our aura magic and weapon
Secondly our stats and weapon are not built for brute force combat which hand to hand combat is

Now allow me to make an argument for a small hut:
First we have a high ac this we will get a lot more benefits from the spells.
Second dust casting will be useful as our semblance is not a directly offence one.

Those are my arguments for voting for small hut.
Those that voted for pach what are you reasons for doing so? (If I find them to be better reasons than voting for the small hut I will change my vote)
