From Shadows(RWBY + Time traveling OC) Vol-1

Summary:

They lost. Despite everything that happened, and everything they sacrificed. RWBY JN_R STRK Oscar Ozpin everyone. Lost. Dead. But there remains a glimmer of hope. In the desolate wasteland, humanity has somehow managed to survive and keep a single relic at a time out of Salem's grasp for over a century. But resources are few, their numbers dwindling. Time is not in their favor. But maybe it could be. In a last ditch effort, they use everything they have left to build a time machine in the ruins of Atlas. But Salem finds them. Left with no means of escape or survival, they hastily send a team of their best fighters to change the past. The time travel is successful, but they miss the target time. Armed with a surprisingly detailed knowledge of the future, he embarks on a journey to change the future. But it's not so simple. There's only so many events he can change, a certain number of actions he can take before the Salem suspects something, and changes her plans entirely, rendering his knowledge useless. But can he do it alone? Can he push past his past trauma and recent loss to complete the mission? Is he prepared to do, or not do, whatever it takes to save humanity? Funnily enough, only time will tell...

Chapter 1: Character Details

Chapter Text

So, this is technically my first Fic, or at least the first one I'll finish. I started a warrior nun fanfiction on Archive of Our Own called "Half the man (Or whatever-the-ever-living-fuck-he-is) which was supposed to be the first part in a vast multiverse crossover story. Not doing an RWBY + Warrior Nun crossover (but now I'm curios to see how that would go) but rather it's one of the first worlds my main OC's visits. Enough rambling. I haven't finished that one because I not only lost my password book for the account(I don't save passwords on technology so no one messes up my stuff) but I broke the computer I kept all my notes and drafts on. Luckily I had the original written copy of it at hand, so I could keep working on it. Besides, only the screen broke and I got it fixed! But apparently the world hates me because now I also forgot the password to the computer itself. I did, however, have about half a notebook full of notes, story ideas, and a draft for another fanfiction I wanted to write. This one. Yes, I was writing two fanfictions at once, and at one point considered starting up a third one I had been wanting to do for a while, but I was smart and refused to overwork my brain. I just write the story and plot I ideas I get and sort through them later, so I don't miss out on creative thinking. Also, as I said, this is my first time writing, so I don't want to juggle too much at once. While I could just finish Half the man on this platform, I have a bunch of notes and research that I couldn't back up to the cloud, so it's just stuck in my hard drive. Plus I'm impatient, and my creativity cannot stop! For now... Anyways, here's the basics of this guy.

 

  Original Character:

Report: 23453455443334

Security code: 4DR3EW353E

Name: Unknown

Age: Unconfirmed, believed to be in his teens

Family: No known biological relatives, although it is believed he has an adoptive family, this remains unconfirmed

Alias/Nicknames: Carl, Grimm, Grimm exterminator, Grimm magnet, brother(only people he respects or little kids), weirdo(only people he cares about), robot, heartless machine/bastard

Hair color: Chestnut Brown is easily to be mistaken for black for some reason, although it does turn black in certain circumstances

Eye color: Dark Brown, also changes color in certain circumstances.

Ethnicity: Hispanic with a small tan

Facial Hair: Changes between clean shaven, stubble, clean goatee, goatee + stubble, rumored to have had a full beard, although unconfirmed

Semblance: Grimm

       -can do: Mainly either attracts or repels Grimm, absorb their ashes, and imitate their abilities. It's effect are so powerful that it is rumored to have an initial radius of a few miles, causing any Grimm within that radius to completely ignore any source of negativity. Making them either flee or mindlessly attack the source himself, depending on how he uses the main aspect of his semblance. Absorbing the ashes of fallen Grimm appears to augments his physical abilities, especially in an aspect from whence the ash came, and boost the intensity and range of his semblance's main function and his aura, as well ass healing any wounds sustained almost instantly. This means that if a Grimm had particularly good hearing, it would not only augment everything else, but especially his hearing. A side effect of absorbing the ashes of Grimm is that it appear to cause him to be more emotionally unstable, with tendencies to violence and destruction, seemingly causing him to act more and more like a Grimm the more ashes he absorbs in battle or stores without utilizing, as it was shockingly discovered to be a passive aspect of his semblance. In everyday life, or when fighting other humans, the behavior does not manifest itself or appear to affect his life in any way. However in regards to battles with Grimm, it becomes very clear, almost as if it were another personality altogether. This was disproved, however, when it was noticed that the Grimm-like behavior was only shown towards Grimm, and that even while under heavy influence of his own semblance, he showed clear protectiveness and concern towards anyone caught it the crossfire, even animals, in the heat of battle. But in the heat of battle, and under his semblances influence, the behavior becomes more severe(only to the Grimm, as previously stated), preventing himself from either stopping or realizing that he is using another aspect of his semblance, which, thankfully, was determined to not be an passive aspect. He begins to attract more Grimm. Although any Grimm caught in the spreading range will completely ignore any Human or Faunus no matter how much negativity they radiate, they are still in great danger of being caught in the crossfire. Although even in this increasingly worsening condition he still actively protects, sustaining injury appear to aggravate him less so than an injury to someone he is protecting. With the ashes somehow replenishing his aura, healing him, and augmenting his physical abilities (including stamina) he becomes nearly unstoppable. He imitates Grimm not only in their behavior but also in their skill and attack. For example, he rolled like a Boarbatusk and pounced like a Beowulf on two separate occasions. It appears as though the only way to revert him back is if there are no more Grimm in an area that pose a threat to either himself or the innocence is unknown, but it is believed to be the former. He begins to calm down and inverts his effect on the surrounding area, causing any Grimm still within range to flee, as can be noted when his eye color changes. When attracting grim the white of his eyes turn slowly turn black the longer he fight(completely losing control of the attraction when it becomes all black), his irises turn into a glowing red similar to that of a Grimm's eye, the outline of the irises and pupil seem to glow a brighter fiery red, and his pupil seems to turn into a darker shade of black. When battling a Grimm, his veins become noticeable as the blood inside appear to turn black, but when injured, the blood comes out as red as a humans. He also seemed that his body began to change, but could not be confirmed as he was very dirty after the battle and appeared to have reverted rather quickly. When repelling Grimm, his sclera turns white again (although bloodshot, presumably from fatigue), but the outline of his iris and his pupil both turn into a glowing Grimm red while his iris itself turned white. After reverting, his veins also stopped being visibly black or visible at all within seconds. After following up on the town a few months later, it turned out that there hadn't been any problems with the Grimm, and they had only recently been seen, although very rarely. Despite an extensive show of power, the true limits of his semblance are still unknown, and it was suggested by the subject himself that that was not his true power. His meaning is unknown.

Abilities: Skilled fighter, analyst, tactician, imitation, acting, copying, learner, naturally stronger and faster than others his age group, good aim.

Weapon(s): Prefers gauntlets, grappling hooks, knives, and pistols, although he is proficient with a sword and rifles

Personality: Closed off, doesn't show emotion, hyper aware, always thinking logically, rarely speaks, but it was reported that he may talk more with his adoptive family, which remains unconfirmed. Hyper sensitivity and lack of communication enables him to control any physical or vocal tells, inhibiting a proper phi. or behavioral analysis. It was determined that he has amnesia, or some form of memory loss, and some form of depression (most likely caused by it). There were also some signs of a recent loss, and a troubled life, although this delves more into speculation than analysis.
