You are Shirou Emiya. This is Remnant. Will this combination work to make a hero and a bright world, or will it make a dead man and a doomed world?

The ship's noises were easy to get used to. You hadn't expected it to be, when you've never been on one. However, it reminded you of your father far too much. Ah, look at you thinking away, when we haven't even figured out the most important thing yet! Who exactly are you?

[ ] You are Shirou Emiya. The adoptive son of Kiritsugu Emiya, with no other known family. The only thing that your father left you was his dreams and a gun. You're starting your dream lacking even an aura.

[ ] You are Shirou Emiya. The adoptive son of the Emiya family. Recently, your sister Illyasviel, your cousin Chloe, their friend Miyu, and some classmates: Rin and Luvia, went missing. Your dad left some notes that state 'Ozpin knows something', so you decided you might as well join his school to try and find them.

Whatever goals you have, the first step is actually getting into the school. Which means getting through the airship ride. However, it is extremely boring waiting on the ship to get to the school when you're just sitting by a window, staring out of it. So, you decide to-

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
One-This is my first time writing on Sufficient Velocity, so hi. Two-I really wanted to write this idea I had for a quest, so I did. However, now probably isn't the best time for me, so updates may have long waiting times between them, and I'm truly sorry for that. I will be trying my best to keep updating as quickly as possible, but as said, that might not be very quick.

Hello there! I wish you the best of lucks when it comes to questing, I know that it can be hard.

Also, Artoria!Lily or we riot (Ruby is also a good choice, just not as great).

Personally, I think that using Prillya Shirou is basically the same as our own semi-OC. I for one would like to mould a character into someone different from the others. Maybe like a true neutral to the alignment as shown in the core of shirou video

Right, I already wrote this but I accidentally lost it and ojfgosjg.
Anyways, Voting's closed, the winning choices were
-Normal! Shirou
-Talk to Someone
Then there was a tie on who, I flipped a coin and-
-Blonde girl in white dress won
I'm going to have the next update either by the end of the day today or the start of tomorrow. Character Sheet for Shirou shall be posted right after this own message.
 
Shirou's Sheet

Budget: 4,999,500 Lien with +200,000 each Month
Physical Statistics:
Strength: E
Endurance: E
Agility: D
Intangible Statistics:
Will: A+
Charisma: E-
Aura: E-
Semblance Use: UNKNOWN
Luck: E-
Skills:
Dust Reinforcement: D+-A Technique Shirou learned from his father. It uses Dusts' essence to reinforce the body, similar to Aura's own effects shielding a person in combat. Takes a lot of energy.
Firearm Proficiency: D-Shirou was taught some of what his father knew before he passed.
Explosives Proficiency: D-Shirou was taught some of what his father knew before he passed.
Kendo Training: D-Shirou's guardian after his father taught Shirou some of the art of Kendo.
Archery: C+-Shirou is naturally proficient with Archery and joined the Archery club in his school before Beacon.
Cooking: A+-Shirou has had to cook for himself for multiple years and took pride in his cooking.
Semblance:
UNKNOWN
Perks:
Hero of Justice-Shirou Emiya has faith and determination in his dream, as such, will rolls that have to do with his dream are allowed to be rolled again.
Only Cook in the Household-Shirou Emiya was the only real cook in his house. Due to this, he has become pretty damn good when it comes to cooking. So, Shirou gets to roll twice when he's cooking food for more than just himself.
Archery Prodigy-Shirou Emiya is naturally good with Archery. With this natural proficiency, Shirou gets an extra x2 to any rolls with Archery as long as he has time to properly prepare his shot.
Flaws:
Heroic Idiot-Shirou Emiya really, really, wants to be a Hero. With the high amount of Hero syndrome inside that boy, he gets a -5 to rolls that go against his dream.
Socially Inept-Shirou Emiya has not talked to many people. As such, he isn't really good with social confrontations. He finds issues when talking with people, getting a -2 to any Charisma rolls.
Aura Locked-Shirou Emiya's Aura has never been unlocked, as such, he can't use his Aura or Semblance. This also means that his Aura does not protect him from damage.
Bad Luck-Shirou Emiya has notoriously bad luck. He gets a -2 to any Luck rolls and ends up stuck in situations with people he doesn't like, over and over.

General Katana
General Wooden Bow
Thompson Contender
12 Aura Bullets
Calico M950 (10 Cases)
Walther WA2000 (10 Cases)

EDIT: @BlankIsNotHere, could I ask how does the Parameters and Ranks work?

Yes, you can, because I had a note in the sheet originally, but I must have accidentally gotten rid of it :p.

Normal humans have E- for showing that they have an average amount of prowess with that skill. An E starts with a low amount of proficiency within hunters, and EX would be the best there is at it.
Mechanics wise it's something like this
E-+2
D-+4
C-+6
B-+8
A-+10
EX-+15
+-+1 to Multiplier
Minuses- -1 to Multiplier

Not like the most innovative thing, but it's something

Well, in that case I can assume that Shirou is at the very physically fit, considering that he has that at E rank.

Talking about that, why is that Shirou doesn't have his Aura unlocked? I'm pretty sure that's an important part the training academies.

I don't see Shirou taking the Jaune route without knowing at least that Aura exists and attempting to get his set on.

First, by normal person standards, Shirou is quite physically fit. He's not the strongest in his year by any chance, but in the real world he'd be quite a person.
Second, Shirou does not have his Aura unlocked due to something that'll be shown in the story, but it's something that'd be important to mention before it shows in the story due to how important it is.

Shirou in this world comes from a small settlement, not a large town, and wasn't able to go to the training academies. Instead, he was more of homeschooled by Kiritsugu in combat. However, as we all know from original FSN, Kiritsugu doesn't have much time to tell Shirou anything.

More information on these kind of things, how Shirou's backstory and the RWBY world intertwine, will be shown after the initiation, but if anyone has any pressing questions, I'll answer as long as it doesn't spoil too much.
 
All the questions I have will probably lead to spoilers one way or the other, so I guess I'll be waiting then for how the story goes
 
Not sure if this is a spoiler but a few questions:

-Does Shirou knows that Aura exists?
-Has Shirou met any of the other FSN heroines (Sakura, Rin, Illya...)
-Finally, will Shirou have UBW as a Semblance (this is almost surely spoiler, so I doubt it's answered)

Those are my questions.

Those are my questions.

1-Shirou does know Aura exists, that is one of the main reasons he came to Beacon, to try to find someone who'd be willing to help him with that
2-Shirou has met Rin, as hinted at in the first post, but that's all
3-You're right, I can't answer that

I see, thank you for the answers!

I will be waiting for an update.

[X] Talk to someone
-[X] There's a girl with blonde hair in a very bright white dress and armor


Honestly, it's hard not to stare at the girl. With the gleaming silver armor and the bright white dress. Well, if you want to prove Taiga wrong in her assumption that you can't talk to anyone, might as well talk to obviously the bravest individual in the room.


"Uh, hi," Words come out of you upon walking up to the girl before you even have the chance to think. The girl turns towards you, and you now see exactly how much of a mistake you made. The girl looks almost heavenly with her emerald eyes and bright blonde hair. Her hair is pulled into a slightly messy ponytail with a black bow, and she has a particular strand of hair pointing up from her head.

"Hello?" She replies, her voice most definitely matching her face. However, at the moment, while she gives a smile she also has some confusion on her face. To be fair, you'd probably be confused if a random stranger came up to you as well.

"I, uh...Saw your sword! Yea, I saw your sword and thought it looked really cool, did you make it?" You decide to go to a familiar place for you, swords. To be fair, the bit of the sword that you can see sheathed on the girl's side does look ornate. Even the handle seems like it'd be more of a decoration than a weapon.

"Oh, well I should've expected people noticing Caliburn, even when sheathed," The girl replies with a brighter smile. Ah, a common point of interest, swords, stay on that Shirou. At least talking to this girl is not as bad as the few times you'd have to talk to Tohsaka due to Issei. "To answer your question, no, I did not make it. It is a family heirloom, and quite a powerful weapon," The girl states as she pulls out the sword from its sheath. The minute the sword comes out, your mind soaks up every detail. The blue and gold handle, the small circular rubies, the strange almost letters on the blade itself, and the gleaming silver of the blade. Something about the sword just makes you want to remember it for eternity. However, thankfully for you, your mind reboots fast enough to not be awkward.

"It's beautiful, but it seems like it'd be more of a ceremonial blade of some sort," You state. While she had said that 'it's quite powerful' you can't help but shake the feeling that it was made for events more than battle.

"Well, originally it was, but a trial for our family is using this and another artifact to be our starting tools of battle and then we gang our more powerful equipment. However, the other artifact went missing a while ago, so we modified Caliburn to be a bit stronger," The girl explains while she rubs the back of her neck. Seems she's a little embarrassed at having been called out by using a decorative sword. "If you don't mind me asking, what is your weapon?" The girl responds with a smile that definitely adds some red to your cheeks.

"Ah, I don't really have a set weapon. Just a bow, sword, and a couple of guns," You explain with a sheepish smile. Fuyuki doesn't have much in terms of combat anything outside of the Fujimuras. Even then, they helped you the best they could, but with Raiga dead they're focusing on dangerous weapons instead of tried and tested Huntsmen abilities.

"Oh, well being versatile is sometimes even better than being proficient with one thing," The girl responds, obviously trying to not hurt any feelings or anything like that. Before you can get a word in about that subject, the girl moves on. "Oh, I'm sorry for being rude, but I haven't even given my name," The girl starts, and your brain lags for a second. That's true, neither of you have given a name despite this. "My name is Artoria Pendragon, a pleasure to meet you," The girl states, holding her hand out.

"Nice to meet you, Pendragon-San, my name's Shirou, Shirou Emiya," You state, shaking her hand. However, as you do, Pendragon's eyes go wide in surprise. She brings back her hand pretty quickly.

"Well, uh, I have things I must go do before we land, uh, good luck," Artoria quickly states as she rushes away. You can only blink in surprise at the strange reaction. Before you can even process anything, the news suddenly shifts to something else. You
