The Life and Times of Whitley Schnee (A RWBY Adventure AU)

Reader mode
[X] Plan lonely snowflake
- [X]Grandfather's Coat: A Soft Red Wool Coat, made by his mother when he was a young man when his father died. It was a fixture of Nicholas Schnee, even more than his famous suit of armor that he wore on expeditions. It was something that many remembered him in, with a jolly laugh, a well-kept beard… a round belly… A warm smile. It was far too big for you to wear properly, but… you couldn't leave it here. It still smelled of peppermint… it still smelled of him. (Gain Item: Grandfather's coat)
- [X]Weiss' Scarf: A gift from Weiss on your birthday. It was a red scarf that was embroidered with the Schnee family Emblem. She made it for you… to celebrate how far you have gone to be better. To be worthy of your name. (Gain Item: An Embroidered Scarf)
- [X]Fake ID: Your Father was… paranoid for your safety, and always planned to travel as different people, so that you were never… targeted for kidnapping and ransom. It always worked out in the end. It may even help you stay away from your father. (Gain Item: Fake ID)
-[X]Argus: The Northern coastline, a beautiful city and home to Sanctum Academy and the Brilliant 300 man melee. A Place where legends are born… and a quiet enough town that no one ever notices it.

decided fuck it i'll make my own plan. basically all i'm doing is switching out the sword for the coat becouse i find it the more interesting option and i'd rather make our own weapon
 
Our Runaway Snowflake

Name: Whitley Schnee

Alias: None (at the Moment)

Reputation: The Runaway Snowflake: You have run away from home, with nothing but your name, and whatever you could grab… What kind of boy would run away from his safe, prosperous home?

Age: 12

Semblance: Glyphs: The Schnee Family Semblance: You have the ability to project Glyphs, and use them to enhance your speed-strength, stop targets attacks, and many more… creative options. (+40 to Aura Rolls. +20 to combat rolls)


Skills:

Fighting Ability: Incompetent: You have never had a chance to practice with a blade or a firearm before, and while you understand their mechanical function, you are woefully underprepared for using them the way they are designed for (-30 to all combat rolls)

Aura: Competent: You have wished to be the Heir of Nicholas Schnee, and you have inherited his great power. All you need to do is master it (No roll bonus)

Social: Incompetent: You have always been a shy, studious boy, always off and out reading about your hero, then interacting with people. You… really don't know how to handle being around people that well. (-30 to all Social rolls)

Command: Incompetent: You do not know how to get people to follow you out of genuine interest or loyalty. Only the ways your father does, through fear and intimidation. His ways are not your ways. (-30 to all Command rolls)

Stewardship: Skilled: You have a way with finances that are considered… well prodigious to anyone who knows your age. Some even called you the second coming of Nicholas himself on a few occasions… behind your father's back of course. Several times, even though your relationship with your father was strained… he asked you for a plan… even though he always ignored you. (+10 to all stewardship rolls)

Schemer: Incompetent: You despise people who are dishonest, untrustworthy, and plan old malicious. So pretty much, you hate your father, and the people he surrounded himself with within the SDC. (-30 to all Scheming Roll)

Traits:

The Heir of the Snow: You are the Heir of Nicholas Schnee, you will honor the Schnee name in the way he had, through determination, hard work, cunning, and love for Family. (Unknown Effect. You believe in being smarter, tougher, and Wiser than the enemy)

The Runaway Schnee: You are the one who ran away. You will never return home unless you are finally worthy of the Name Schnee. (Cannot return home baring… being forced back home, or… Unknown)
 
honestly i am not surprised at how bad we are at combat. and i don't think it will change by grabbing grandpa's big sword
 
Alright, I have switched Vacuo for Argus.

Hopefully everyone is ok with this.
 
[X]Plan Laying Low
-[X]Mother's Revolver: Once, a long time ago, when your mother was young, she dreamed of being a huntress. She stuck to a tradition where she would use only dust… but instead of a sword or dagger, she used a Mechashift Pistol she designed herself. She lost sight of those dreams when she married Jacques… and lost any hope of being a huntress when she realized that she was trapped in a loveless marriage. Now it just sat in a room. Unloaded… because if she had loaded it, Mother may have killed herself years ago in a drunken episode. (Gain Item: Schneefall)
- [X]Fake ID: Your Father was… paranoid for your safety, and always planned to travel as different people, so that you were never… targeted for kidnapping and ransom. It always worked out in the end. It may even help you stay away from your father. (Gain Item: Fake ID)
-[X]1 Million Lien: You were pretty sure that all these unmarked and untracked Lien cards were for emergencies only, like ransoms, or hostage negotiations with the White Fang, if they ever reached the house. Oh well, this counted as an Emergency. (Gain 1 million Lien)
-[X]Argus: The Northern coastline, a beautiful city and home to Sanctum Academy and the Brilliant 300 man melee. A Place where legends are born… and a quiet enough town that no one ever notices it.

Why people want the sword when we can't use it?
 
Also just for the future. I do accept omakes for bonuses for your rolls.

My policy on the subject will be posted tonight.

but you will not be able to bank them.

I want the sword, the fake ID, and some kind of connection to our siblings. The destination is largely irrelevant to me.
 
Only thing I will say is that destinations you choose will be very important to the adventures you can go on and how hard they will be.

;)

    - [X]Grandfather's Sword: Nicholas' Schnee's Greatsword, currently just gathering dust in the main hallway, overlooking the front door. Everyone would notice it going missing.

Gah... I don't really want the sword. If we're going for sentimental value, the Coat is a much more appropriate choice and if we're going for practicality, the Revolver or the Lien would probably be better considering our stats and the fact that we're a prime target for basically everyone with a grudge against the Schnee's. Which is a lot, last time I checked.

That being said, the image of Whitley carrying around a great big honking sword representing his family's legacy on his spindly little back is both hilarious and rather emblematic of how his character seems to be developing. I also find Atlus/Mantle a much more interesting place in general compared to Vale. So I'll bite the bullet.

I almost called it a Buster Sword in my previous post. :D

I'm all for Santa Claus Whitley, but the fact that the plan is made up of items that'll be useful in the future and not necessarily right now (The Archives, The Sword) and the highly recognizable coat makes me doubtful that we'll actually make it as far as Vale without being kidnapped, killed or dragged back home, especially since we have no funds.

Atlas and Mantle are going to be off limits for a little while, at least until it will be safe for you to show your face without getting arrested.

As for the sword… well I will throw this bone… it recognizes you as worthy… or does Whitley see himself as worthy and he just… lugs it around with pure fucking will.

But in the future, Whitley might even be able to lug it around.

and that will be hilarious.
