So, possibly against my better judgement, I've started thinking about writing a new fanfic.

I was thinking I'd make it about a guild of Valish mercenaries, made up of Signal grads who didn't go to Hunter schools, former Atlesian Army personnell, and some unafilliated fighters. It would probably just be a collection of one-shots, at least at the beginning, either just to introduce characters or until I come up with a more far-reaching plot.

Possible involvement with RWBY characters are most likely going to be limited to Roman, the White Fang, one of the Schnees (either Winter or her father) and Ironwood. Less possible are Qrow and Ozpin, but they may become relevant at some point. Breach might be a factor in

So far I came up with one team of from said group, keeping with the four-person party format because, hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Crystal Luminos: 22, Team Leader, female cat faunus with light blue hair, 6'0". Daughter of the leader of the mercenary guild. Uses a double voulge that is capable of being broken down into four pieces, the blades and staff being seperable. Said blades are infused with Dust, though what kind I'm still debating. Also entertaining the possibility of allowing her to carry multiple blades, similar to Raven's sword.

Nathan Flint: 24, Former sniper in the Atlesian army, 6'5" with tanned skin and short cut brown hair. Uses a kopesh that can turn into a crossbow. Carries a small supply of special Dust arrows for special circumstances, and has field medic training from his time in the army. Switched away from sniper rifle for the same reason he left the army: Looking for a challenge.

Robert Ashwood: 17, recent Signal graduate uninterested in the Army or Huntsman training. 5'11", pale with shoulder length black hair. Uses a pair of robotic arms gained from a childhood accident modified for combat with hardened and sharpened fingertips, as well as a hidden blade in his right arm and a gun in the left. Has extensive skill with computers and robotics.

Amber Sahara: 20, three year veteran of the guild, trained by her parents who are senior members. 5'10", olive skin and waist-length auburn hair. Uses tonfas, one of which is also a submachine gun while the other is cabable of firing small explosives. Trained in demolitions and able to pilor a Bullhead.

I'm looking for any feedback on names, weapons, and team roles if anyone is willing to offer it. Also any advice on directions I could take the actual fanfic would be greatly appreciated. Not sure how long it would be before it'd be ready to write.
