Legends tell of warriors who wield the light to drive away the darkness. But what of those who embrace the shadows, not to destroy, but to protect?

Onyx Thorn is not a Huntsman by choice-he is one by necessity. A wolf Faunus, a prodigy of combat, and the youngest professor in Beacon's history, he has walked a path carved from loss and survival. Raised as an orphan, trained by Qrow Branwen, and hardened by a life of solitude, Onyx was forced to grow up far too soon.

At just 11 years old, he made a choice that would change his fate forever-he became a father.

Finding a five-month-old baby girl abandoned in a river, he named her Hemera, the light to his darkness. In a world where Grimm roam and humanity teeters on the edge of ruin, Onyx swore to protect her, no matter the cost.

His Semblance, Total Darkness, allows him to forge weapons from shadow and shroud the battlefield in impenetrable black. But it is his Amethyst Eyes-a mysterious power akin to the legendary Silver Eyes-that makes him truly terrifying. A power that doesn't purify Grimm... but controls them.


Now, at 16, Onyx stands between Remnant and the horrors that lurk beyond the veil. As Beacon Academy's youngest professor and Huntsman, he hides his true nature behind a stoic mask, keeping the world at arm's length.


But fate is relentless.


Between guiding Team RWBY and Team JNPR, fending off Yang's jokes, useand somehow navigating his growing bond with Ruby Rose, Onyx finds himself pulled into something far greater than himself.


As darkness stirs and enemies rise, the question remains:


Can a man forged in shadows truly protect the light?


This is the story of Onyx Thorn.


The darkness that protects the light.

"You are special, but you just do not see it yet." "What do you mean?" "You were destined to be a huntsman from the minute you were borne to this world. You were destined to correct your father's mistake, and finish what he tried to do. "Father? What does he have to do with any of thi-" "I'm not talking about your caretaker. I meant your BIOLOGICAL FATHER." --------------- Apollo Carter was considered a prodigy amongst Remnant's huntsmen. He was unanimously the strongest, loved by all who bore a soul. But mysteriously, his status went dark after a mission and he was soon found dead. However, his legacy doesn't end there. There was still his offspring. This begins his story. I do not own RWBY or any of the characters except my Male and Female OCs. --------------- Started at: 1/09/2019 End: 28/03/2020 --------------- Re-Edited: 17/06/2020 Finished Re-edited: ???

The Return of The Phoenix (RWBY x OC/Male Reader) (Arc 2) by Carter-25

"You took everything away from me... The people I loved, the people I swore to protect with my life... And, to think that I was so foolish to not see this coming... You must be delighted." "But... That won't be enough to break me." "You may have taken away my loved ones and destroyed my school, but, you must be stupid to think that I'll simply turn tail and run. My pride demands it, I'll continue to fight and stand against anyone in my way!" "I will do what's best, and that is to protect what's left." --------------- After the Fall of Beacon, Remnant was left in a state of distraught. Now that the whole world has witnessed the destruction of an ancient force at work, it's all up to Apollo and his friends to stand up and fight back. It was up to them to protect what was left. But, with all the obstacles still in the way to break through, one must ask themselves... "Is this... the right way?" --------------- This book is the first sequel and the 2nd mainline story to my RWBY x OC series, "The Son of The Prodigy". I would highly suggest reading that book first to understand more of the original tidbits I've created in this series. https://www.wattpad.com/story/199058323-the-son-of-the-prodigy-rwby-x-oc-male-reader-arc-1 The 3rd story to this series, or the 2nd sequel, is also out now!

The Ashes of The Chosen (RWBY x OC) (Arc 3) by Carter-25

"After all this time... you still have the nerve to think I'd bend to your will!? Such arrogance... such foolishness!" "I'd be spitting on my ancestors, my origins, my BLOODLINE to back down now! I will stop you, no matter what!" "You've taken EVERYTHING away from me! My childhood, my father, my mother, my school, my loved ones, yet I continue to stand before you!" "I will NOT let you take ANY MORE! THIS ENDS HERE!" --------------- With each day that passed, the World of Remnant slowly descended further into turmoil. Now with Haven Academy out of commission alongside Beacon Academy, two beacons of light snuffed out, it was seemingly imminent that the rest would soon follow suit, that this ancient force will continue to wreak havoc until nothing is left. But, through the despair of it all, a new beacon of light was beginning to arise. A beacon full of hope, a beacon full of spirit, a beacon that continued to grow and had no intentions of stopping. Which... begs the question... "Can this light glow bright enough to stop this endless sea of darkness?" --------------- This book is the 3rd mainline story to my RWBY x OC series, "The Son of The Prodigy." I would highly suggest reading the first 2 books of the series, "The Son of the Prodigy" and "The Return of The Phoenix." Both books can be viewed in my profile. MAIN NOTE: Unlike the previous 2 books, this book will be written as an OC story narrative. This series will no longer be written as a Male-Reader narrative. I do not own RWBY or any of the characters except my Male and Female OCs. Book cover made by myself.

jaune the undead king (remake) by CharlesJacobo

Beacon Academy-a prestigious institution founded by the legendary Ozpina-stood as a beacon of hope for aspiring Huntsmen and Huntresses. Within its hallowed halls, countless students trained to protect the world from the ever-looming threat of Grimm. Among them was Jaune Arc, a kind-hearted young man whose cheerful demeanor and friendly nature made him well-liked by students and faculty alike. But as often happens with those who shine too brightly, envy began to fester in the heart of another. One student, consumed by jealousy, devised a cruel lie. Whispered rumors turned into venomous accusations, branding Jaune as a creep and a freak. What began as baseless gossip spread like wildfire, growing with every retelling until the student body was consumed by it. Ozpina, the wise and fair headmistress, refused to believe the lies. She saw through the deceit, her faith in Jaune unshaken. But the damage was done. The rumor had already escaped Beacon's walls, spreading far beyond the academy to the four kingdoms. The world turned its back on Jaune Arc. The Arc family, once his greatest source of strength, succumbed to the pressure of public scorn. Fearful of the damage to their reputation, they cut ties and disowned him, leaving him alone in a world that no longer saw him as anything but a disgrace.

The Third Sister (RWBY Fanfiction) by lyradavi11

Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long are sisters as you all know. They live under the same roof with Taiyang, only two sisters and a father. But what you don't know, is that there is another. A third. Something Taiyang has been hiding from his two daughters with him. Faye Rose has been travelling around the world, learning new techniques, fighting Grimm, fighting evil. She lived that sort of life ever since she left her home. Why she left her own home, you ask? Because she was afraid of her power. Her power to kill. The power that was dangerous to everyone around her. But what happens when she's called to the Kingdom of Vale by Qrow Branwen. Her life is about to be completely changed. Was it really the right decision to accept the offer of joining Beacon Academy? ~~ DISCLAIMER: I don't own RWBY, this is a fanfiction. I do not own any of the weapon designs in the pics, most of them belong to DenalCC1010 on deviant art. I also don't own any of the pictures unless I say that I do. CLAIMER: I own the characters and this book so I appreciate it if you do not use my ideas. Thank you!
