If you watch the Rooster Teeth web series known as RWBY, then chances are you've heard of Team SLVR, a popular fan made group created by Mark Zhang. In my first ever fan fiction series, this story (which takes place in the main series/timeline of RWBY) will follow the lives of Simin Megistus and his team (Lycan Arcadia, Vella Moisia, and Ragora Cinarum). Where huntsmen and huntresses aren't enough, these vigilantes will take things into their own hands as they try to change the world the only way they know how: by fighting it.
(was that a good description? I had never done one before)
Quick heads up:
-expect strong language and graphic violence. I won't be holding my punches, but I also won't be going all out either.
-Although I said this will take place within the main timeline, I will be ignoring the comics, manga, anthologies, light novels, etc. (pretty much anything that isn't the main series or World of Remnant). This is mainly because I simply don't have the money or the time.
-Yes. I did get Mark Zhang's permission to write this fanfiction and use these characters.
-The timeline in this story is one that I constructed based off a lot of close and careful analyzation in the main series of RWBY
-The type of pacing for the story I'm writing is going to be a sort of "slow burn" approach, so if it feels a bit slow in parts, that's why. (However if it starts to get to the point that I'm dragging my feet, don't be shy to speak up. Pacing is something I'm still trying to work on and get better at)
-Lastly, no I will not be doing any shipping. Any and all interactions between all characters that is even remotely intimate or affectionate will be 100% platonic. This is mainly because I don't want to accidentally start a shipping war (and because I don't completely trust myself to write romance and make it good)
This is my AU that I dot. I don't have a name for it yet. So I'm giving it the placeholder name of the butterfly effect AU. This is an AU with a slightly planned out timeline of events. The cast is massive, with the beginning having 4 teams take up the main cast at the start of the story. Instead of 2 like in the show. The teams being RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, and CMSN. CMSN being Cinder Fall, Mercury Black, Emerald Sustrai, and Neopolitan, who's stories went slightly differently. Ending up with them coming to beacon legitimately and to become huntresses and huntsmen. This project is kinda massive. But I can hope to finish it and to write it well.
Also I do expect those reading this to be familiar with RWBY up to Volume 8. This is the first Volume/book.
Any criticisms should be expressed in the comments. I will read any and all criticisms.
