RWBY has potential for Nightmare Fuel (potential-not-used), so the good amount of horror AUs for RWBY is understandable.

So...a male, weak, shrinking, pre-Character Development Aigis? ...His arm turns into a sword, doesn't it?

@Jayhart

This thread was bordered more towards simply describing an AU version of a character instead of a downright AU story, though thankfully your (long ass) post gave me an idea of how different WBY would be to their Canon counterparts in such an scenario.

As for the idea, It sounds interesting, can be good, but I can't say the concept is the most original thing ever: RWBY has a tough mission, Ruby dies or apparently dies, WBY falls into some kind of despair. It's not the most original idea, but these days not many people use it so I guess you may as well give it a try.

That said, I suppose in that settlement there would be OCs. I suppose you know about how to make a good OC, or at least one that works for your story.
