His Semblance, Aura Amplification, boosts healing and durability, though it remains unconscious and only manifests under extreme stress in Volumes 1-2. Jaune is kind-hearted, deeply loyal, and has a natural talent for leadership, but he lacks confidence and feels out of his depth.

Her weapon, Magnhild, is a massive war hammer that transforms into a revolver-type grenade launcher, firing pink Dust canisters. Her Semblance, High Voltage, lets her absorb electrical energy to vastly increase her strength and speed — she discovered it after surviving a lightning strike.

Ozpin is soft-spoken, patient, and deeply wise, preferring to observe and guide rather than interfere directly. He has a habit of sipping hot cocoa from a metallic mug during conversations. He sees potential in unconventional individuals, having accepted Ruby Rose into Beacon two years early. Alludes to the Wizard of Oz

He is a tall, broad-shouldered man with black hair streaked with silver at the temples, stern blue eyes, and a commanding presence. The right half of his body—arm, leg, torso, and part of his neck—is cybernetic, replaced with metal prosthetics hidden beneath his crisp white military uniform. He carries twin revolvers named Due Process, one white and one black. Ironwood is blunt, arrogant, and prefers direct action over subtlety, believing his methods are always justified. He is deeply loyal and genuinely cares about protecting people, but his military mindset puts him at odds with Ozpin's more cautious approach. He struggles with trust—he asks others to trust him but rarely returns the favor. His character alludes to the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz.

Oobleck is strict, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about history, believing it's essential to prevent repeating past mistakes. He respects Faunus and disapproves of discrimination.

His Semblance, Water Attraction, lets him control water through hydrokinesis, but he refuses to use it due to severe aquaphobia — a trauma from nearly drowning his brother with his uncontrolled Semblance as a child. Neptune is calm and tries to project a cool image, but is deeply self-conscious about his fear of water and his inability to dance. He flirts often but values his reputation to the point of being inconsiderate. Alludes to the Roman god of the sea.

Her weapons, Thief's Respite, are dual revolvers with collapsible sickle blades that extend into chain kusarigamas. Her Semblance, Hallucinations, makes targets see and hear things that aren't there — she can affect one or two people at a time, with strain on multiple targets. Emerald is affable, quick-witted, and short-fused. She is fiercely loyal to Cinder, who gave her purpose, and she is easily annoyed by Mercury's antics. Alludes to Aladdin — her name means "thief" in Basque

He wears a red-lined white suit, black gloves, and a black bowler hat with a feather. His weapon, Melodic Cudgel, is a cane that fires explosive Dust rounds and has a grappling hook.

Her parasol, Hush, conceals a rapier-like blade and is durable enough to block gunfire. Her Semblance, Overactive Imagination, creates physical illusions visible to everyone — she can disguise herself, others, or objects, though illusions shatter like glass when struck. She is fiercely loyal to Roman

20. #20White Fang

    Keys: Adam Taurus, Faunus, White Fang

    Enabled · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The White Fang was founded as a peaceful activist group advocating for Faunus rights and equality between Humans and Faunus . However, after Ghira Belladonna stepped down as High Leader roughly five years before Volume 1, a change in leadership transformed the group into a violent, extremist terrorist organization . They wear white Grimm-like masks and uniforms to hide their identities and intimidate opponents . The Vale branch, led by Adam Taurus, entered a "joint business venture" with Roman Torchwick, conducting Dust robberies across Vale in exchange for weapons and supplies . The organization established a base in Mountain Glenn and participated in the Breach, which failed prematurely due to Team RWBY's interference . They later took part in the coordinated attack on Beacon Academy during the Vytal Festival. Many moderate Faunus view the group as a cult, while others like Sun Wukong call them "holier-than-thou creeps that use force"

His weapons, Sharp Retribution, are orange bladed gauntlets attached to his arms with blades that pivot like a mantis's arms. His Semblance, Telepathy, allows silent communication with teammates and sensing nearby people, though maintaining multiple channels strains his Aura.

The capital city, also called Vale, is divided into multiple sectors including commercial, industrial, agricultural, and residential districts. The kingdom is protected by natural barriers: steep mountains to the east and shallow waters to the west, which have helped it endure Grimm attacks. Vale is home to Beacon Academy, and the island of Patch lies to the west. An attempt to expand to the southeast resulted in the failed settlement of Mountain Glenn. The Kingdom was a key player in the Great War alongside Vacuo against Mantle and Mistral. Following the war, the King of Vale founded the Huntsman Academies.

    Atlas is the youngest and most technologically advanced Kingdom of Remnant, located on the frozen continent of Solitas . It was originally the Kingdom of Mantle, but after the Great War, Atlas Academy was built north of the city, and the Academy's campus quickly overshadowed the original capital, leading to the Kingdom's capital being moved and the entire Kingdom being renamed Atlas . The capital city itself floats above Mantle, kept aloft by the Relic of Creation hidden beneath Atlas Academy, though publicly this is attributed to Gravity Dust . The Kingdom is a military state where the government, military, and Huntsman Academy function as a single entity under General James Ironwood .

Skilled users can unlock another person's Aura with training, though doing so takes a toll . It can be measured and displayed as a percentage, with tournament matches halted when it drops below 15-20% .

    Entry settings

    Huntsmen and Huntresses are the best and brightest warriors of Remnant, ranking above police and military in strength and skill. They are licensed protectors whose primary duty is to battle the Creatures of Grimm and uphold peace. The occupation was established after the Great War, alongside the four Huntsman Academies—Beacon in Vale, Haven in Mistral, Shade in Vacuo, and Atlas in Solitas. Training requires graduation from a primary combat school (like Signal or Sanctum) before entering an Academy at age 17, completing a four-year course to earn a license. Students are grouped into teams of four to foster teamwork and cooperation. Once licensed, Huntsmen are free to choose their work via mission boards and are meant to remain independent of Kingdom allegiance—though Atlas pressures graduates into military service.

    Mistral is one of the four Kingdoms of Remnant, located on the continent of Anima—the largest landmass on Remnant.

Haven Academy, one of the four Huntsman Academies, sits at the top of the city. Mistral is known for its diverse ecosystems, including forests, swamps, and snowy northern regions where the port city of Argus is located. The upper classes are world-renowned for contributions to architecture, theater, and fashion, while the lower classes are notorious for thieves and assassins. Mistral is home to the largest black market in Remnant, making settlements like Wind Path and Kuchinashi havens for those on the fringes of society. The Kingdom was allied with Mantle in the Great War and followed its suppression of the arts. After the war, the monarchy was dissolved. Mistral has the most spices of any Kingdom in Remnant.

    Atlas Soldiers are the armed forces of the Kingdom of Atlas. They wear white-gray body armor with helmets that cover most of their faces. Different colored markings indicate different roles: yellow soldiers act as security, red and blue are infantry, and green are airship personnel. They carry rifles, pistols, and collapsible swords. They serve under General Ironwood. During the Beacon Dance, yellow-marked soldiers guard the CCT Tower, while two soldiers (one red, one blue) are seen accompanying Penny Polendina at the dance.

    Entry settings

    A Scroll is a personal communications and data device used by citizens of Remnant, particularly Huntsmen, Huntresses, and students. It functions as a smartphone-like device capable of voice and video calls, text messaging, data storage, and accessing the Cross Continental Transmit System for global communication. Each user has a unique Scroll ID assigned by their local CCT tower. Students at Beacon are issued Scrolls upon enrollment, which are used to receive mission assignments, coordinate with teammates, and monitor Aura levels during combat. Atlas models are considered the most advanced, while Beacon students' Scrolls are white and fold open like a booklet.

    Entry settings

    Beowolves are wolf-like Creatures of Grimm, the most common and recognizable type. They stand on digitigrade legs with a hunched posture, covered in black fur-like hide with bone-white armor plating along their backs, shoulders, and limbs. Their faces are framed by a skull-like bone mask with glowing red eyes and red tribal markings. They hunt in packs of six to twenty, using coordinated tactics — flanking, cornering, and overwhelming through numbers. Their howls carry for miles and attract other Grimm. Young Beowolves are aggressive and reckless, while older specimens are more tactical and patient. Alphas are larger with heavier bone armor and greater strength. They dissolve into black smoke when killed.

    Entry settings

    Goliaths are massive, elephant-like Creatures of Grimm, standing roughly 20 stories tall at the shoulders. They have black bodies with giant white tusks, a white and red patch on their foreheads, and bony plates running down their spines. They travel in herds and are among the oldest and most intelligent Grimm — Oobleck notes they've learned that attacking Humans brings more Humans with weapons, so they only attack when victory seems certain. They are "waiting" for an opportunity rather than charging blindly. Even sniper fire is a minor irritation to them. When they move, it's with slow, deliberate steps that shake the ground. They are an omen of danger. Alludes to the biblical giant Goliath.

    The Atlesian Paladin-290 is a massive mechanized battlesuit piloted by a single operator. It is armed with Dust cannons, rocket launchers, automatic cannons, and mechanical fists. It is mobile enough to jump highways and outrun cars. Roman Torchwick stole prototypes and supplied them to the White Fang. The armor is tough but can be destroyed by sustained heavy fire.

    The King Taijitu is a large, two-headed serpentine Grimm. It has a black half and a white half joined at the center, each with its own head at opposite ends. The black half is primarily black with a few white speckles on its underbelly, large blood-red eyes, and a white bony covering with red markings on its head. The white half is the inverse, with a deep gray bony covering and a checkerboard pattern of gray and white scales toward the center of its body. Its jaws contain rows of fangs, and it has a long, black forked tongue. It attacks by biting and constricting.

    Entry settings

    The Nevermore is a large avian Grimm resembling a raven or condor. It has black feathers, a white bony mask over its head with four glowing red eyes, and a dorsal spine or fin on top. Two clawed "fingers" extend from its wing joints. They come in multiple sizes, from small bird-sized to the Giant Nevermore seen during the Beacon initiation. They attack by launching razor-sharp feathers as projectiles, dive-bombing with crushing force, or grabbing targets with their talons. Their feathers can pin prey to the ground.

    Entry settings

    Team RWBY’s Dorm Room (Room 301) is a heavily modified four-person suite located in the residential quarter of Beacon Academy. While originally standard student housing, the space was radically re-engineered by teammates Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang to maximize floor space and fit their contrasting personalities. The room is anchored by a central arched window with heavy crimson curtains, a communal bookshelf, and a large circular rug. Its most defining features are the chaotic, improvised sleeping arrangements that flagrantly violate campus safety codes: the left side features Ruby’s bed precariously suspended from the ceiling by ropes over Weiss’s neat setup, while the right side features Blake and Yang’s beds stacked and braced using actual pillars of hardcover books. Surrounded by stacked luggage and weapon cases, this structurally unsound layout serves as the team's cozy but crowded tactical and social headquarters.

    Enabled · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    The Emerald Forest is a dense woodland extending away from the Beacon Cliffs, serving as the primary location for Beacon Academy's initiation. During initiation, students are launched from the cliffs into the forest, where the first person they make eye contact with becomes their partner for four years. Pairs must retrieve relics from the abandoned temple at the northern end and return to the cliffs to complete the trial. The forest is home to Beowolves, Ursai, King Taijitus, Nevermores, and Death Stalkers. Beacon has installed cameras throughout the woods to monitor both the forest and the students during the trial.
