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

The problem with hiring Marcus, is that I don't think that he would not try to take the semblance of a Schnee. Stealing one of those semblances would grant him a great amount of prestige and it would increase his power. That is something that I don't think that he would just leave it.
Kay, well we have no clue he can even use the semblances he has, as far as we know, he just disables his opponents by taking them away from others.

Though should be noted he could just steal from Weiss or another Schnee instead. It would give a bad taste he stole from his client

THe thing is, he would need to know if we had it. If we don't show it, he dosen't know we have it, and despite wishing for such a thing...

He won't steal from a client, unless he gets betrayed.
Odd question but what would happen if wiess and the others found out we hired Marcus.
They would wonder what the hell we were thinking, but also think that we had a good reason.
Though should be noted he could just steal from Weiss or another Schnee instead. It would give a bad taste he stole from his client
He could try, but doing something that violating would be against contract...

Also even his son might say "Fuck you dad!" and fight with you.

Something doesn't look right here.

What on Remnant...?
 
Well, Mama Schnee Truly is something.

...Well, now I'm really curious.

She is a true Train wreck that needs help but is too stubborn to get help, or rather before Whitley forced her to relive some...bad memories.
...Well, now I'm really curious.
Well you are going to remain that way for awhile.

Nana Schnee could have given you some answers, but this sheet was not ready yet.
Awww shit! Look at Willow's summoning description and remember who her father was an expy of.
Think again.
Nick very likely became Krampus...and Whitley might be following the same path.[/SPOILER]
If Nick became Krampus, Salem would have gotten to him... or at least a part of him.
 
I don't think we should bust all our money on the fucking MERCS I put it out there since its a bit more conspicuous than the other options also choosing the Blacks might put us at risk with semblances
 
His last words was a man who lost everything and could not see the world in a more common sense so was lashing out on everything right
No... Even more tragic then that.

Screw it, An omake is coming, from willow's perspective.

Let me put it to you this way. Most mercs are expecting you to sit on the sidelines and just let them do all the work.

They will not expect you...

Joining them.

The only qualm I have with Cima is that her airship and her mech will be quite conspicuous and potentially recognizable. And since we know Papa Schnee and Ironwood are planning a rescue attempt, I don't want to accidentally complicate things or have them mistake us for the enemy. Especially since pirate tactics usually rely on speed and the element of surprise, not stealth.

Marcus reduces that risk since his option involves a total of two people and as an assassin, his approach will be naturally more sneaky. So he has a smaller chance of accidentally ruining someone else's plan.
 
The Last Minutes of Nicholas Schnee
The Last Minutes of Nicholas Schnee:

(Willow POV)

Whitley had just been sent to bed as you tucked your father in. "It's time to go to sleep father." You said with a quiet, kind voice as your father wheezed and coughed.

He had become so frail, his white hair less wispy and firm, but now it was weary, like a torn cord that had been picked apart by hand, frilled and squeezed together. His magnificent beard, once trimmed, and proper, was now long, whispy, and unkempt, he had long given up trying to shave or keep it clean on his deathbed. His frame, once an envious sight to the Atlesian Elite and… your mother alike, was frail, skin and bones. His brilliant blue eyes dull, his sight almost all but taken from him by the dust mines.

"Oh come now my dear, there is no need to hide what troubles you. My condition is getting better… Ho ho-'' He hacked, coughing up blood into his mattress as you walked over to help him. "I'm so sorry my dear, that you must continue to see me like this."

"Father, it's not your fault." yes it was. He chose what he did with his life and he's suffering the consequences. "Age always gets to us eventually."

But you saw your father turn away. "I have failed you, my dear." His words struck you hard.

"No you haven't." you protested as you held his hand, feeling the tears well up into your eyes.

"No, I have." He replied, squeezing your hand, but looking away from your eyes. "I have quested out on adventures and projects that have kept me away from my home, from you. I have let you make assumptions about me, about my work… about if I love you."

"Father, I know you love me." you stated firmly. Whether it was for him, or yourself, you did not know.

"But I never showed it. I was too blind to my own ambitions to see you needed me." He replied, letting go. "And now it is too late… far too late for that to change."

"We can still try another doctor." you begged.

Nicholas Schnee was many things to many people, but to you, he was always the man whom you never could get approval from. You wanted so hard for his approval, that you tried to emulate him. Even when you married Jacques, falling for his grace and nobility, charm, you worked hard to be a Huntress, a wife, and a true Heiress to the Schnee name.

But nothing you could do could net you his approval.

Nothing you did could make him say, I love you to your face.

"Willow, my sweet child, I must ask you something. Something that only you can do."

You raised an eyebrow. "What is it?" You asked.

"Kill me." He begged.

"What?" You stammered. Had he just asked?

"Willow." He held your hand before he put it on his neck. "I know you are strong, but this pain is so horrid, so horrible, that being stuck with it, tormenting my body and destroying it from within."

"Father, I cannot." so many things could go wrong.

"DO AS I COMMAND!" He raised his voice, booming in the way that he had done so on expeditions so many times before his strength failed him. He saw the tears in your eyes and whipped them with his hand, before moving your face towards him.

"Willow… I love you always." He said with softness.

You looked defeated. He knew how long you wished to hear him say those words.

He let go and laid back, tears in his eyes, knowing what needed to happen.

And you granted his wish. The Coroner said he died in his sleep, blood blocking his airways.

How you wished that was the truth.

What Whitley said was cruel…

But he didn't know the truth.

He didn't know how much you loved him by locking him away, to prevent him from trying to emulate his grandfather.

Now it was far too late for him to change.

AN: Enjoy.

Also, this entire thing is told from a biased perspective.

Some of it is truth. Other bits are fabrications of Willow's Guilt and memories.

Well... damn.

I didn't knew that it was possible, but now, I feel even more sorry for Willow.

Hope that she can eventually move on.

Willow, if she can recover from her issues, is an absolute powerhouse, and an ally and person, worthy of the Schnee name.

Problem is... she's traumatized as hell.

*Gives a dry look*

I can see that. It's rather obvious that she's got major daddy issues.

It almost reads as if this was a Weiss interlude (but if her father didn't actually give a shit about her), but that can't be right?

*Snorts*

Keep telling yourself that. It doesn't excuse treating your son like that. Like he's his asshole of a father reborn. My disdain for Willow continues to increase.
