As for her hair color, Ozpin's not the only one with that hair color. The Schnees do as well. It doesn't mean anything.

I think Ozpin attempted to merge with Cinder when they fought, but after merging Ozpin didn't have control over Cinder's body, and no features had risen because it was too soon. This is so much bullshit. There's not even any hints towards such a thing being possible, other than using the Aura transfer machine, which was clearly not used by them.

After Ruby weakened Cinder with her silver eyes, Ozpin was able to control her body and transported her to a different realm, which we see in "The Beginning Of The End". And why would he do that? Also, since you're pretty much theorizing that Salem = Ozpin+Cinder, let me ask you 2 things: 1) Where did s/he get the clothes? And 2) Why does s/he look like a Grimm person?

We don't know much about Ozpin's powers, so this could be possible. We know his powers are related to Time. Though not Time Stop. Nothing says they are related to Space, however.

His semblence could be realm traveling. On his wiki page, it says he can move his cane at inhuman speeds with time dilation. So his name is not rellevant to a colour because he was alive before the great war, and with his time dilation, stopped his aging. It was theorized long ago that his lack of aging is not purely for his power, but also because of Aura. Basically, Aura boosts the body's regenerative capabilities. This means, your body would decay more slowly as you age. Someone like Ozpin must have a powerful Aura, thus a bigger effect.

With the time between the great war and present, Ozpin would have A LOT of time to learn something like realm traveling or merging if it is not his semblance. Learn from where? Learn how? Would he even know such a thing is possible, and if so, why would he want to know?

He also confirms that some fairy tails are true, so my theory about him not aging would be supported by the fact that he can confirm these tales were true, because he was in that time period. Qrow and Glynda also know that some fairy tales are true. They haven't been around since the great war. They know Maidens exist, thus they know the tales about them are mostly true. Having been around for decades is not needed to know that.

For a minute, let's scrap this whole theory. Please.

Maybe his semblance is traveling through time and space? That would make sense too, he could have gone back to see the tales for himself AND travel through space to the realm we see at the end of "The Beginning Of The End". And why would he do either of these things? And if he can travel through time and space, then why not go back in time using his knowledge about Cinder and her group, not to mention Salem, along with knowledge of what they plan, to stop it all from happening?

This is why time travel theories on non-time travel-related works just fail. They create too many questions, yet provide no answers.

She also talks to him as if she is there with him at the end of TEOTB. A good amount of people do that, both in real life and in fiction. Nothing special.

They didn't gain eachothers powers, however, so the Oz/Cin hybrid Salem is now stuck in the realm, with Cinder's powers only. Why would she not have Ozpin's semblence? Because when they merged, Cinder's body was the vessel and her abilities were used by that body and not his You said they merged. This includes their Souls. Semblance is Active use of Aura, which comes from the Soul. A physical-only fusion would not work with this whole "theory".

If they merged, that means their Souls merged. Which means, she should have Ozpin's Semblance, regardless of who does the body belong to.

Maybe they merged by Oz going to the future with his semblence, and stealing some Atlas tech that could merge them. That's a big "maybe". Not to mention redundant and stupid. They already had such a thing in the same room.

Also, if he used Atlas tech, then how did he get Cinder to use it as well? His powers don't include Time Stop, otherwise he would have easily beaten Cinder. If he was able to trap her or something to prevent her from simply incinerating the machine and him, then there's no reason for any merging to be done.

Also, how did he get the machine? How was he able to use it?

Maybe it was prototyped so when they merged, only Cinder's body used her powers. That is way too convenient. Also, if Ozpin could travel through time to the future, why take a prototype, and not the more perfected machine from even later on?

This could also explain why she couldn't "unmerge". Considering all the made-up evidence-less bullshit in that wall of yours, what makes you think "unmerging" is not possible?

Sorry for the long text XD It would be much better if you used the Enter button. Separating long text into multiple paragraphs is basic, yet important.
