User blog:Zathronas/Analysis by an author: Beacon Ozpin

Hello and welcome to author analysis. Today's topic: the mysterious Ozpin.

I love mysterious character, you just know they could answer most of your questions but they just won't do it! Ozpin is such a character and when you factor in his position at Beacon. You have one of the most important role early on in the serie. I'll try to pierce through some of his mystery through analysis.

First time we see Ozpin, the second phrase coming out of his mouth tells us a bit about his character. "You have silver eyes". This is more than just an affirmation, it establish his character as someone who knows a lot but feels he cannot reveal them just yet. Note at the end of the conversation before he accepts Ruby in the academy he turns to Glenda who seems to reluctantly agree with him. This is I what I was saying about his character. But again who is Ozpin?

He was someone who used to be important, you just need to see how the cloak of authority suits him to know it isn't the first time he wore it. He used to yearn for action but no more. He is constantly saddened about something that profoundly changed him. This I believe has a direct connection with Ruby, I do not speculate on individuals here, I prefer broad strokes on the story but Ozpin certainly has an intergral role to play before the end.

Now what's to come of him? Nothing good I'm afraid, in the immediate future he will continue helping the student and specifically Ruby to grow. Later when the darkness finally shows itself, I can almost guarantee one thing. He will die saving Ruby. Why do I say this? When the darkness arrives we will need a "crap! What will they do now?" Moment. Usually it comes from the defeat of the strongest character or the one who has all the answers. Ozpin is both, he will not have time to give crucial info or it will be incomplete to Ruby and RWBY will have to find it another way. One thing is for sure, until then we need to watch carefully all his movements because he will be the one who gives us the little hints we need to figure out where this is all going.

Next time on analysis: the teacher who packs a punch: Glenda Goodwitch.
