Ozpin and Cinder: I could see Ozpin taking a dive but wouldn't Salem know that he can do that. I'm pretty sure that Ozpin and Salem have crossed paths many times before. I guess it could have been so he couldn't be recognized by sight and could in theory be anywhere in Remnant upon his death. To me it seemed like Qrow didn't know because in my opinion it would have been a fair trade of information to his sister for the location of the spring maiden. So I guess that we'll have to wait and see.

Tyrian: I never noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out. That definitely merits another watch from me. I always thought that he let Qrow get to his weapon so he could do a surprise attack when Qrow was distracted while retrieving it but your idea makes more sense.

As for scorpions having bad eyesight the show has always insinuated to me that all Fanus no matter what animal part they have have superior senses. But as I said before your explanation is better.

Why would Tyrian's interest be a huge advantage to Jaune? Do you mean that it does mean that Jaune is special then?

Chess pieces: You have a point with the chess symbolism thing. Ruby would be the Queen as she is the most powerful pieces to Ozpin but what purpose is Jaune being protected for because you lose yourself queen you can still play but your lose your king and you lose.

Not to mention 4 maidens, 4 person teams, 4 relics, 4 kingdoms.

Are you thinking that the 4 that chose the school relics will be the ones to get the real ones?

A lot of songs hint at Ozpin being manipulative and quite possibly evil.

When it falls: The cost of trusting you is obliteration And Divide's second half sounds like Salem blaming Ozpin for everything And Sacrifice does a similar thing in addition to the line you mentioned from Time to say goodbye.

Arc Siblings: I'm not sure about them all being princesses but maybe. If so that would definitely hint at them being descendant of the king or at least someone important as the only princess we met so far I believe is Weiss and her family is important. By the way I'm talking about princesses that were princesses in their own right and didn't become one on marriage.

Speaking of big families I heard a theory saying that the family he speaks of is his family from an orphanage but I highly doubt it considering his family heirlooms not to mention that it doesn't explain the boy to girl ratio and he hasn't mentioned anything less that. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention though.

But why would they want a boy? Maybe just a preference by the parents but the Arc family seems loving enough to not care. It would seem odd to me if they wanted a son so bad just for having a son. So maybe there is some other reason that they needed a son. I think he was babied for being the odd one out but being babied for being the baby makes more sense.

But why would they baby and shelter him?

But if the sisters are named after the colors of the rainbow then why is Jaune also then? Why would there be two yellows? Unless maybe everyone in his family has a name that alludes to yellow. Personally I really like the rainbow names idea.

True about gender not really being important. If it's something about the Arc line then what could it be that would require a son and only a son? Maybe his family is the reincarnations of the God of creation and a son is necessary for each incarnation. That makes no sense though and is completely baseless as why would the God of creation have a reincarnation cycle.

So do yourself have any ideas on it because I don't?

About the color though a rainbow is just white light that is refracted which would explain why his aura is white. The rainbow theme of his family would also be interesting considering as due to the war people started namely kids after colors. So a family that names them selves after arguably the 7 most famous colors would be interesting.

As for the shield if the arcs were white we wouldn't be able to see them on a white shield and also most media depict light as being yellow due to association with the sun and that yellow has better contrast then white. So I think that the yellow arcs represent light. Or maybe it's actually golden arcs once again representing golden rays of sunshine. The sword is named the yellow death though so there is no way of getting around that especially considering Jaune's name. And the names of the Arc children represent the colors of light. Maybe that could even be a reference to the king who ended the war. Maybe his descendants are specifically named after the colors of the rainbow or white light. That's a long shot though.

I haven't heard so far of someone saying that Jaune's color is different from his family. What's that all about?

Are your suggesting that most Arc's have yellow colored aura but Jaune is different because he has white?

His parents knowing he's alive: I would think that they definitely know that he is alive and they they definitely don't want him going on this adventure. So I guess he didactic tell them where he is going but did tell them what he was did and that it was important. How would he run instead his family though? The smart thing to do in the times that they are facing is to problem stay put. Maybe a few go searching for him though. We don't really keep exactly what his family is like. Is his dad or mom a huntsman and maybe looking for him? Or if he is the youngest then are maybe some of his sisters already out of the house and he will run instead his family that way. Jaune sure isn't giving us any clues on his family despite the facts that it's big, loving and they vacation in Mistral.

Ozpin choosing the leaders: Ruby has silver eyes, was met by him, stopped a robbery and is the honorary niece of one of his most trusted friends. Ozpin has reasons to knowledge everyone on RWBY but only Pyrrha from JNPR. Not to mention Jaune was (probably) the only one there with fake transcripts so Ozpin could take all the other transcripts at face value and judge them properly. Jaune was the only one who was seeing action for the first time.

The process to get into Beacon: I think Ozpin was making a joke when he said that it's time to work on you landing strategies and just started chucking them off the cliff. I think he only explained this year or didn't make a joke for Jaune's sake. Also I don't think it's that everyone knew but more so that having been trained they were already prepared for moments like that.

Why would Jaune's parents let him go if they knew about the dangers? Ozpin can control many things but he couldn't have force Jaune's parents to let him go. Also the fake transcripts would only work if Jaune wanted to be a hero in the first place which he didn't have to nor did his parents seem to want him too either. How could Ozpin have made sure that Jaune would come to Beacon?

Also I didn't think that Ozpin meets with all the candidates especially became he can trust their transcripts.

It's beyond suspicious. Ozpin wanted Jaune there for something. Something that Jaune doesn't even have a clue about. In fact he didn't even trust Glynda with it and she's in Ozpin's organization thing.

Is it personal? Due to Jaune being the king's descendant? That's the only reason I see for Ozpin doing something as illogical as letting Jaune in but even that would be weird because if so then he almost killed his descendant then.

Getting RNJR together: Yep. Qrow did seem to take the accusation with acceptance and a little guilt. He's the only one who could have gotten them together.

The King giving up power: Maybe it would make sense. True but it's not like they work have been easy targets. We do know that the world turned to the king to lead though. Also people would see his family as more of a weakness of the king than a threat. We have no idea if the kids of a wizard would be strong. But I guess normal people wouldn't know that and assume that any of his lineage would be just as strong. Or maybe like I said before the wizard can't have kids.

The Arc family: The biggest problem with saying anything about the Arc family is that there is literally nothing to say. We don't know anything at all about them so everything on them is just conjecture. We have got to take huge leaps of faith with them at this moment in time.
