Semblance Showcase: Icter Goldman's "Gild"!

Pretty much everyone who's got a Midas-based OC probably made this their semblance too, so sorry for unoriginality!

On touch, Icter can slowly cover anything in an unbreakable gold-colored layer. Not only is this useful for immobilising enemies, but it also helps fortify his weapons. He can only use it on one object per hand and the effect disappears immediately when he takes his hand off of it.

The newly-formed Team BISC! (Bisque)

Several months after Team RNBW was split up from the Vytal festival disaster, Brandeis was put in charge of a new team!

Icter Goldman is a well-trained fighter with a vendetta against the White Fang for attacking his family. He's drawn outside of his combat armour to help humanise him a bit more. His weapons are a shield and double-sided collapsible spear, and his semblance will be revealed later.

Sandra O'Dile is an energetic and flighty girl from Mantle- unlike the other members of her team, she hasn't had much experience in the field, nor has she unlocked her semblance yet, but she still has considerable skill in bo staff combat and gymnastics!

Ciel Soleil was put on Team BISC after Penny was put out of commission at the Vytal festival. Penny's repair was top-secret so at this point in time she still thinks Penny's dead too. Since she doesn't appear in RWBY Vol7 I hope I have enough freedom to write interesting stuff for her here!

RNBW Vol 3b Episode 6

· In the dead of night, Brandeis sneaks off the campus. She doesn’t realize Icter and Ciel are stealthily tailing her.

· In prison, Nappa is using a cobbled-together laser to carefully slice through her anti-semblance collar.

· Before she can finish, some of the guards start to walk towards her cell.

· Nappa’s neighbour sees this and causes a distraction to help her.

· The guards rush over to the neighbour’s cell and threaten to assault him.

· Nappa slices off the collar and gets into her makeshift exo-suit, sounding the alarm.

· As the guards turn to see what’s going on, Nappa bursts out of her cell and swiftly takes out every guard in her way.

· She takes out the prison security system and hijacks a Bullhead to escape.

· Ori is minding her business at home when her drones detect an intruder.

· She directs them to the door and Nappa stumbles through exhausted, asking if she and her family can hide out here.

· Icter and Ciel follow Brandeis to a warehouse. “Brandeis” then shapeshifts into Yuki Sarugami, covert ops Zodiac admin.

· Icter leaps out to fight her, but she swiftly dodges. He asks who she is and where Brandeis is.

· Ciel stays back to film this for evidence.

· Yuki laughs at him while shifting between disguises saying that it was a piece of cake to take Sandra’s place before orientation, even though she had to swap her out to disguise herself as Brandeis when she got caught a few days ago. Turning into Atlas politicians to frame them was no problem either- they had it coming since they were already exploiting Faunus to begin with.

· She also taunts that there’s people out there willing to pay big money for someone like Brandeis.

· With a huntress position, it was very easy for her to screw with team communication, frame Atlesian public figures, and spread chaos in the country as a whole to allow for a stronger White Fang foothold.

· Icter, Ciel, and Yuki fight, and while both sides fight furiously, Yuki has the upper hand. She takes out Ciel, evading Icter’s attempts to stun her and eventually breaks his aura first.

· During the fight, they each blame the other for being part of why their families are so damaged.

· Before Yuki can land the killing blow, she is blown back by a burst of minigun fire.

· She gets up to see that LMNS have arrived to help, thanking Ciel for calling them earlier

· Yuki quickly darts off into the shadows.

· Icter sees that Yuki dropped Brandeis’ communicator in the scuffle and calls RNW.

· Will and Nappa pick up, asking where Brandeis is, and Icter recaps them on what happened

· Will tells the others where the Zodiac base is.

· Nappa says she’ll try to contact Rusty before heading there.

· Icter says it would be wise for many of them to stay and fix the tense political situation in Atlas.

· The next morning, Rusty is walking through town when an angry Goliath bursts through the forest to attack.

· Taking extra care to avoid collateral damage, Rusty brings it down by herself.

· The townspeople’s congratulations help her feel a bit better.

· When she gets home, Rusty’s mom tells her that the communicator that arrived in the mail has been ringing nonstop.

· Rusty finally decides to call Nappa and hears about what happened to Brandeis, which finally snaps her out of her funk.

· Nappa tells Rusty to head for the airport asap- and to take the other, much larger package with her.

· Rusty opens up the package.

RNBW Vol 3b Episode 5

Episode 5

·        Flashback to 8 years ago. A young Icter and his little sister Xan are waiting for their parents to come home.

·        Instead, the police arrive to tell them that their parents were killed in a White Fang attack.

·        The kids are devastated, and Icter hugs his sister to comfort her.

·        More images of Vytal and BISC flash by and Icter wakes up in a cold sweat.

·        An energetic Brandeis tells Icter and Ciel that they’re going on a Grimm hunting patrol while Sandra recovers.

·        Before heading out, Icter asks Ciel if she thinks something suspicious is going on. She replies that she’s unsure, and more concerned about Sandra’s condition, but Brandeis calls them off soon after.

·        As they patrol the city outskirts, Icter flashes back to 2 years ago, back in his old combat school. While sparring with his instructor, his instructor teaches him that heroes and villains aren’t clear-cut. Even ideologically, people on “your side” can be much worse than those on the “enemy side”.

·        Icter returns to reality just as several large Grimm attack, and Brandeis commands her teammates well in taking them down.

·        Back in prison, Nappa has almost finished working on what seems to be an exosuit. She chats with her neighbour, a Faunus, about what they miss about being outside, their family, and recent politics. They build a good rapport through quips and genuine sentiment.

·        Icter and Ciel go to check on Sandra’s recovery, despite Brandeis advising that she needs more time to recover.

·        Surprisingly enough, Sandra does recognise her teammates from early application forms and the opening ceremony, but has no other memories beyond that.

·        Her teammates try patiently to help her recollect.

·        Soon after leaving, Brandeis gets a call on her communicator from Will

·        He updates her on how his team has been doing, saying that they’ll soon head out to the Zodiac base right after more repairs and first aid for his team.

·        Brandeis acknowledges this, but seems weirdly stressed about this revelation too, hurrying off once the call ends.

·        Later on in the Atlas dorms, Icter is fiddling with a pendant, forlorn.

·        Ciel asks him what’s wrong, and he explains to her via flashback.

·        Back at the Vytal tournament, Icter and his sister Xan are enjoying themselves.

·        Xan asks Icter when he’s getting into Atlas Academy, and he replies that he will once he gets off the waiting list.

·        When the White Fang and the Grimm invade, Icter and Xan get separated.

·        Icter finds Xan being chased by the White Fang and tires to fight them off. In the ensuing conflict, a nearby house collapses on top of them.

·        Using his Semblance, Icter is able to keep Xan alive, but not fully unharmed.

·        We then see Icter by the bedside of a comatose Xan wrought with despair.

·        The story ends and we return to the present. Ciel is sympathetic with Icter.

·        Brandeis storms into the room angry about something, confusing them.

·        In Wulfric Manor, CAPA are helping Will and his mom recover physically and emotionally.

·        Will’s mom hands him a new Donnernblitz revolver for the coming fights.

·        In Vale, Rusty’s parents tell her that several packages have arrived from Atlas via drone.

·        Rusty says she’ll open them later.

RNBW Vol 3b Episode 4

· In Vale, Rufus sneaks around the warehouses until he finds Roman’s old Dust cache. He, Adam, and Narange steal all the fire Dust they can.

· They take out security and get away.

· The next day, Rusty hears gossip from old ladies in town about how Adam is now a violent criminal. When Rusty asks them about this, they mention remembering how cheerful he used to be back when he visited the village as a kid.

· As the sociopolitical situation in Atlas continues to decline, Team BISC is keeping an eye on a Robyn Hill’s rallies when the White Fang strike again.

· Once again, Team BISC heads off in pursuit off Cliff and Dusty.

· As they’re getting away, Cliff and Dusty receive a call from someone who sounds like Sandra that “(she) can’t keep BISC off them for much longer. Toss the girl out and get ready.”

· Brandeis turns the corner to see Cliff, Dusty, and a tied-up Sandra at their feet by the getaway van.

· In her shock, she doesn’t notice another “Sandra” sneaking up behind her.

· When Icter and Ciel arrive, they see Brandeis holding an unconscious Sandra as the White Fang van drives off.

· Brandeis says they were outnumbered and Sandra got hurt, that they all need to get back to school and make sure she gets medical attention.

· We see Nappa discreetly building something in her cell.

· WCAPA take down another White Fang outpost in Vacuo. When they unmask one of the grunts, William recognises him as a Hunds employee.

· Aurelia reads the grunt’s mind and finds out that Hunds actually has been the one arming the White Fang this whole time.

· William is mortified and initially in denial, but Agnes helps him rationalise and calm down.

· Steeling himself, he tells CAPA what the plan is.

· Back in Atlas, Winter is reprimanding BISC for their mistakes. Brandeis is oddly nonchalant and suave, managing to convince Winter that things will be okay. Icter is confused by this.

· Later that night (I should keep timezones in mind for all of this) WCAPA return to Wulfric manor, where they are greeted by Mrs Wulfric.

· Aurelia scans her mind and tells Will that she isn’t involved, much to his relief. He tells Agnes to get her to safety. As she is being escorted out, Will tells his confused mom that he’ll explain more eventually.

· When they reach Buck Wulfric’s office, Will asks his dad about the White Fang.

· His father plays dumb until Will and Aurelia pretend to know much more than they actually do, a bluff that succeeds in getting him to confess on recording.

· Will threatens to leak the footage if Buck doesn’t tell him more about what the Zodiac is planning.

· Buck explains that he didn’t want Will to come out as Faunus yet because he wanted the White Fang to establish equality and create a safer environment for his family.

· When Will hesitates for a second, Buck grabs a pistol and shoots through Aurelia’s aura, calling Maple and Blaise over to back him up.

· Buck is them immediately shot in the back by Agnes through the window, who has taken position on a hill far from the manor.

· Ptolemy and Cutter burst through the ceiling as backup to fight Maple and Blaise.

· In the ensuing fight, Wulfric Manor gets badly damaged, and the three Zodiac admins get away.

· As Ptolemy heals Will, Aurelia tells him that she was at least able to scan the location of the Zodiac base.

RNBW Volume 3b Episode 2

·        William takes CAPA back to his home, Wulfric Estate.

·        He introduces them to his parents, Buck and Cherry Wulfric, who warmly welcome CAPA and invite them to stay at the estate

·        William catches his parents up on recent events and we see more interactions (including the Will x Agnes teasing)

·        In Atlas, Team BISC are practicing team attacks and other combat techniques against robots.

·        Icter explains his Semblance, where he can cover anything with an unbreakable golden shield on touch.

·        The team feels a bit down when they don’t flawlessly take down the robots. Sandra especially since she mentions not having an unlocked Semblance yet.

·        Brandeis tells them not to feel down and helps them with more techniques.

·        Icter and Sandra cheer up from her words

·        On top of that, Ironwood congratulates them on their latest missions too.

·        In Atlas prison, Nappa tells someone to get something from her secret cache and mail it to her friends.

·        This person is revealed to be Ori, who is visiting.

·        LMNS have just left Haven academy after checking sending Ironwood’s correspondence to Lionheart.

·        Sapphire and Nanday want to go touring but Lyme reminds them that they have one more stop to make.

·        They arrive at Soie’s manor and she welcomes them in to see Angelo, who’s been living with her for a while.

·        LMNS tells Angelo that he’s been queued for a foster family and scholarship in Atlas, but also that Loca can’t be here to tell him in person because she has passed on.

·        Angelo struggles to take the news, but LMNS says they’ll be there if he needs them once he gets to Atlas.

·        Ori finds Nappa’s secret cache, which holds a miniature satellite and 4 communicators. Ori deploys the solar-powered satellite, which shoots off into the outer atmosphere.

·        Maple visits a Vacuo fight club where Shamo chicken Faunus Blaise Katrice just won a match.

RNBW Volume 3b Episode 1!

Volume 3b takes place roughly around RWBY Volume 4, with the only actual time constraint being that RNBW Vol3 as a whole ends before Adam kills Sienna in RWBY.

Similar to RWBY Volume 4/5, the gang has been split up across the world and the villains are using that advantage to further their plans- get ready for a lot of major changes to the status quo!

· Over 3 months since Vytal. Back in her hometown in the Vale woods, Rusty gets up, grabs her old axe, and heads into the forest to work.

· In Vacuo, Will now works with Team CAPA in Ironwood’s AceOps training program.

· They intercept a White Fang convoy and find that they’ve been transporting almost exclusively Hunds weapons and fire Dust.

· Will starts thinking about what their next move will be.

· In an ancient temple far away, Narange has gathered the other Zodiac admins to discuss what they need to do. He asks why Artie and Yuki are missing.

· Cliff remarks that Artie got arrested and he never liked him.

· Olivine adds that Yuki is off on an important intel mission.

· A small squabble breaks out between the Zodiac over who should do what until Narange shuts them up and gives them their assignments.

· Rufus, Adam, and himself will go to Vale to locate and recover a large stolen Dust cache from robberies last year.

· Olivine and Violet will go to Mistral to negotiate with Sienna and other factions/clients

· Cliff and Dusty will go to Atlas and aid Yuki on her political disruption mission.

· Maple and another masked figure will go to Vacuo and continue finding more new recruits and weapons.

· In Atlas, a ceremony is being conducted to introduce re-formed hunter teams, most notably Team BISC, featuring Ciel Soleil, Sandra O’Dile, Icter Goldman, and their leader- Brandeis Cygnette.

· Team BISC get to know each other, but Brandeis says she has to go visit someone after a bit.

· Brandeis goes with Nappa’s family to visit Nappa in prison and updates her that Atlas’ closed borders make it difficult to contact or visit Rusty, and Will has been very busy too.

· Brandeis expresses genuine concern in trying to prove Nappa’s innocence, but Nappa replies that she shouldn’t bother since it probably wouldn’t work.

· Nappa returns to her cell and breaks down in tears.

· As the sun sets in Vale, Rusty returns home.
