To change the subject from Anons:

RWBY x Shaman King.

A storyline similar to the one from Shaman King (not a complete retelling), but with the cast of RWBY and taking a few cues from the canon series (not a complete retelling).

Ruby, Yang and the rest would all be Shamans, some specializing in a particular form of Shamanism (ie: Itako, Daoshi, Necromancer, etc.) The Guardian Ghosts for most of the cast would necessarily be OCs, which simplifies the process since they can be tailored to complement or foil the cast.

Now, the reason I said that the Guardian Ghosts would be OCs for most of the cast was because Ruby's partner-spirit could be Summer. It'd make sense in-context and I think it'd be an endearing dynamic.

Also, Jaune wouldn't be the "Manta" of this story. He'd still be the rookie, the character whom the exposition is being told to. That is the same role Manta had in the original Shaman King, but to be honest, Manta is more useless than Jaune.

So, does this boat float?
