Would that really work? It was established that Hex is even more of an asshole than Cardin was. So that means Hex has been an asshole for long enough that people recognize him as an asshole.

That tells me, that Hex is just an asshole.

Hex did it because he knows whats going to happen to poor cardins hips. He gets good boy points with the women of the rabbit community and help some random humans pelvis get crushed. A win win

Interesting to see that Cardin's hindbrain is the smart and tolerant one, while conscious Cartin is the idot and (ex-)racist.

I have... not an idea for a story, but rather an idea for a species of Grimm.

The Goblin:

The Goblin is a three foot tall bipedal humanoid Grimm. Relatively unarmored, barring the ever-present masks. Armed with sharp teeth and claws, with nothing else. Overall, an extremely weak Grimm. What makes them so dangerous is that they are surprisingly intelligent for their size and age. Even young Goblins can plan ambushes and traps, and work together with other Goblins.

The Goblin takes the human strength of society and team work, and turns it against humanity.

Goblins are tribal, living in communities that can range from hundreds of individuals to hundreds of thousands. As Grimm don't need to eat or drink, the only thing stopping a Goblin tribe from increasing in size is the space available to them.

A Goblin Alpha is four feet tall and has more armor. Other than being a better version of a Goblin, there's not much difference.

The Goblin Nest:

This Grimm is created by Goblins. It is their method of reproduction and how they refill their ranks. Normally hidden away in caves, in large trees, or other places within the Goblins' territory that is difficult to find or reach.

It takes the form of a 10 foot tall tree, but the size can vary. A tree made not of bark but of Grimm flesh and muscle. It has no leaves, but many branches.

It is mostly sedentary, remaining rooted to the spot. However, if the tribe moves their territory, the Goblin Nest can uproot itself and move with them. However, it is slow and cannot defend itself. Unlike other Grimm it does not act to attack humans. If unrooted it will retreat when faced with humans. If rooted, it will push its productive capabilities into overdrive to spawn as many Goblins as it can as fast as it can.

To create more Goblins, a Nest will form fruit-like pods across its surface. Both the trunk and branches will form these pods. The fruit will fill with the Ichor that makes up a Grimm, and that Ichor will form more Goblins. Once it is ready, the pod will simply drop off and pop open upon hitting the ground, freeing the Grimm inside.

Each pod can form up to a certain amount of Goblins. A single pod can birth up to a dozen Goblins at once, with at least one being an Alpha. Greater Goblins can be formed in groups of up to six, with an Alpha in every two Greater Goblin pods. Goblin Shamans are formed in groups of up to four, with an Alpha in every two pods. Hobgoblins can be formed in groups of up to two at a time.

Goblin Kings are formed only in very large pods, and only one per pod. Only very powerful Goblin Nests can make them.

A Goblin Nest can, on average, drop a few dozen pods a day, but when threatened it can form and drop pods a couple dozen a minute. Though keeping this rate of production going for long periods can and will kill the Nest.

A newly born Goblin Nest will have a lower production capacity, while the oldest and biggest Nests can out-perform an average overdrived Nest with its normal production. Ancient Goblin Nests are SSS-Class threats because their reproductive power outclasses every other Grimm.

A Goblin Nest is formed from at least 10 Goblins, preferrably more, coming together and fusing. This fusion will form the Goblon Nest. More Goblins can fuse with the Nest to increase its size and capabilities.

When a Goblin tribe gets large enough, they will form a second Goblin Nest. Though even small tribes will sometimes form more than one if they have the soace and hidden spots for it.

An Alpha Goblin Nest has never been documented, but is hypothetically possible were one to be made solely from Alpha Goblins. The hypothesized capabilities of such a Grimm have caused the hypothetical Alpha Goblin Nest to accrue a danger class of SSSS+. One of very few Grimm, even hypothetical ones, to receive such a rating.

The Greater Goblin:

A Variant form of Goblin. These Goblins are as big as Alpha Goblins, but are more armored. Their arms are covered in bone armored plating, with a hole present on the top of the arm.

This hole is their weapon. A Greater Goblin has a "horn blade" that is present within their forearms. The hole in their armor is to accomodate their horn blades. This gives them far greater reach compared to their lesser counterparts.

Greater Goblins act as the "knight" of a Goblin society. They are almost always the first into battle. They will defend the tribe and Nest with their whole being. To the death.

An Alpha Greater Goblin is five feet tall, with much more armor. They are heavily protected brutes who will throw themselves in the way of enemies, letting themselves get battered and thrown around. Their armor affords them the luxury of taking powerful blows that would kill even a Hobgoblin, and leave an Alpha Greater Goblin unharmed.

The Goblin Shaman:

A Goblin Shaman is almost exactly like a normal Goblin. The only visual differences are a third eye, and two antler-like horns.

Goblin Shamans are one of the few Grimm species with unexplained abilities. Like an Apathy which can drain away the emotions and wills of those near them, a Shaman is capable of "magical" effects.

Goblin Shamans can control elements like Dust can. Though they are not that powerful. A Shaman can shoot a fist sized ball of flame. A dart of sharpened ice. A palm-sized stone. A small blade of focused wind. A bolt of electricity. And more.

However, Goblin Shamans are more noted for their other abilities. They can create zones, or bubbles, around the battlefield that will slow their enemies movements. They can create hard-light barriers to close off potential routes for retreating. They can turn the ground beneath a huntsman into sticky tar to trap them. They can even create an obscuring mist that only Grimm can see through.

They will act intelligently to use their abilities. They will hide within the tides of normal Goblins, or outside of a huntsman's sight. They will create small ankle-high walls of dirt to try to trip a huntsman and get them swarmed. They will use gravoty to throw enemies off balance. They will create flashes of light to blind and disorient.

Alpha Goblin Shamans are even stronger. An Alpha Shaman's other abilities are also stronger. They can lock down a lone huntsman by increasing gravity's effect on them, letting its allies slowly whittle the huntsman down. They can apply "curses" onto an enemy, making aura harder to use, or temporarily sealing off a huntsman's Semblance. They can also apply "blessings" to their fellow Grimm, giving them a temporary "Pseudo-Aura" shield or making them stronger and faster.

It's highly recommended that Huntsmen and Huntresses seek out and kill any Goblin Shamans, especially Alpha Shamans, before facing any other threat. Even if a dozen Alpha Hobgoblins are bearing down on you, the Shamans are priority number one.

It has been said that even Veteran Huntsmen find Goblin Shamans, especially multiple at once, infuriating to fight. One even described a fight against a Alpha Shaman and two other Shamans as "the most difficult fight in my life", not because they were particularly powerful, but rather "because I wanted to fucking kill myself instead of fighting them."

The Hobgoblin:

The Hobgoblin stands at ten feet tall, though is normally close to seven feet as they prefer to walk in a quadeupedal fashion like a Gorilla or Beringal.

A Hobgoblin is vastly different in appearance to a Goblin. For one the Hobgoblin has hair. A mane of spikey blood red hair pokes out from behind their bone mask, two long horns flowing up and back, almost framing its mane.

Hobgoblin legs are short and stubby, but are well muscled to allow for them to move bipedally for a short time. But their arms are much longer and just as built, allowing them a surprising reach advantage over most weapons other than firearms. Their tails, a bodypart no other tyoe of Goblin has, allows them to strike at flanking opponents, or to use it as a prehensile limb to facilitate mobility.

They are smaller and weaker than Beringals, but are more intelligent and will work with their tribe to take down their enemies. Multiple Hobgoblins will focus on attacking a single target. Provoking them to attack separate targets is difficult, but can be done. For example; if a Hobgoblin's ability to perceive and communicate or hear its fellows is disrupted, they are unlikely to target the same individual, allowing them to be fought and killed separately.

Hobgoblins will almost always come in groups of two or more, but lone ones are not unheard of.

The Goblin King:

Also known as an "Alpha Hobgolin".

A Goblin King dwarfs every other Goblin species of Grimm. In fact, it dwarfs most Grimm in total. It's easily as big as a Goliath.

It is, in appearance, similar to its lesser Hobgoblin variety. But it has more hair growing all over it. On its arms and legs, its tail and its back. All are covered in blood red hair. It also has an extra two horns.

Similar to a Goblin Nest, the King can spawn more Goblins to help it. Specifically, it can spawn Hobgoblins. By vomiting out a wave of black Ichor, around a dozen or so Hobgoblins will be formed.

In a way, the Goblin King embodies Goblins as a whole. They can even use the same esoteric abilities as the Shamans and Alpha Shamans. The Goblin King can freeze huntsmen in place with a screech, and its gaze can incinerate a huntress from the inside out. It can fill the area in poisonous clouds, or create elemental walls and cubes to trap people.

Goblin Kings have been given a definitive SS-Class Danger Rating. Luckily, they are rare.

However, there is one particular Goblin King that has survives ages and grown much, much stronger.

The Goblin Emperor, is one of the roughly 30-ish Grimm who have been given an SSSS-Class Rating.

> Even without being a Hunstman, Jaune; 's natural talent for being one shines through (what else would you call someone who became skilled enough to match family-trained huntsmen in a year or two from nothing with some one-on-one training?) and he saves villages and towns off the cuff by acting as a tactical general and directing militias to repel Grimm and bandit attacks.
> In this way he saves settlements that would have otherwise been wiped off the map and becomes a Folk Hero.
> Ozpin tries to entice him into becoming a Huntsman, but Jaune refuses.
> He refuses to become a huntsman, only saying that his parents didn't think he had what it took, and he believes them.
> He's not bitter about it, just a quiet sadness and acceptance.
> Ozpin sees Jaune as promising enough that he goes to Jaune's house and ends up yelling at them for whatever nonsensical reasoning that would cause them to conclude that leaving someone isolated from a threat and utterly unprepared to face it while unintentionally sabotaging their self-confidence and tearing down their dreams could make any sense.
> Meanwhile, Isabel and Nick start to argue over whether they handled the situation properly, as they begin to feel bad for how they may have hurt their son, in spite of their original intentions.

I'm imagining somekind of small monkey Grimm (a bit like a spidermonkey but without a tail).
Not very strong, but much more intelligent by Grimm standards (though not as smart The Hound), and almost always work in gangs/groups.

The arc Clan do not turn their back on family. But some are looked up on more fondly than others. Most Arcs would happily lay down their lives to defend others. But there is one Arc who will happily sacrifice the lives of others for his family.

Franklin Arc was different from a normal arc. The great great great grandfather of Jaune Arc loves his family more than anything. More than pride, more than honor. Franklinn Arc is the shame of the arcs.

And he's still alive. As he got older he began replacing parts as needed. Sometimes with flesh, sometimes with metal.

Many times has he offered to make his family safer, just a small surgery here or there, a subdermal armor plating, maybe a hidden blade.

Jaune was not allowed to be alone with him until he was almost 12 because they had to make sure he wouldn't accidentally agree to surgeries.

When he shows up at beacon many are confused. This man is 232 years old but he looks barely 30.

The room chosen for the meeting was known as the Serapis Room. It was in the same administrative Manor as the throne room, but had gotten a lot more use for diplomatic and business meetings. It was called the Serapis room because all the ornate wooden furniture was carved from the hull of the VMS Serapis, a formidable warship of the once globe-spanning Royal Vytalian Navy. Several cabinets filled with priceless china and golden and silver vessels lined the west side of the room, while large green curtains parted to reveal the balcony outside.



Not that Blake could appreciate the fine surroundings much-Not with how hard her mother was hugging her.



"Oh Blake, Blake, Blake!" Kali sobbed, "I'm so glad you're okay! I'm so happy~!"



"I-I'm really happy to see you too, Mom, really!" Blake insisted, hugging her mother back. Ghira had hugged her as well, but he was now giving the two space with a warm, fond smile.



"Oh I was so worried, I was so scared...!" Kali kissed the top of her daughter's head and nuzzled her between her ears, "Oh Blake...!"



"Easy Kali, you're going to smother her," Ghira chuckled. Kali pouted at her husband, still clutching tightly to Blake.



"It's been over two years, I think I'm entitled to shower my daughter with affection," she huffed. She beamed, and sniffled as tears came to her eyes yet again. "Especially when she's getting married and becoming a queen! OH BLAAAAKE!"



"URK! M-Mom...!" Blake gasped, as Kali again cuddled her relentlessly. "Dad, please...!"



Ghira sighed and shrugged.



"She's right, you know," he said with a little smile, "You owe us a lot of affection."



Blake looked down, the guilt rising hard and fast. Ghira, seeing this, shook his head.



"What's done is done, Blake," he said gently, "You can't let your guilt haunt you. You do have to deal with it but don't let it consume you."



"Y-yes Dad," Blake managed.



"So!" Kali said with a big grin, "How is our son-in-law?"



"He-He's wonderful, really," Blake insisted. She winced. "Despite um... The circumstances, and-and all..."



"Have you two...?" Kali prompted, waggling her eyebrows. Blake blushed deeply.



"M-MOM!"



"What? You two are engaged! And don't tell me all that erotica you've been reading has gone to waste!"



"Don't pester the girl, Kali," Ghira gently admonished. Kali pouted.



"I'm just saying! He's so handsome and tall and blond! Can you imagine the kittens they'll make?"



"MOMMM!" Blake groaned. "It... It's a little sudden!"



"It's also kind of vital to your political future, dear," Kali said kindly, "I mean, given how precarious the situation is and all."



Blake blinked quickly.



"Huh? What do you mean-?"



Jaune entered the room then, Doctor Oobleck at his side. He smiled apologetically.



"Sorry about that, Sir, Ma'am," he said with slight inclination of his head, "I'm ready to begin when you are."



"Of course, of course," Ghira said with a nod and smile. Kali reluctantly let go of Blake. Jaune smoothly walked up to her, and took her hand. She accepted it gratefully, and they sat together on a green lined couch. A matching couch sat across from them, where Kali and Ghira took their seats. Oobleck stood behind and to the right of Jaune, a supporting presence if ever there was one as he sipped his coffee.



"So," Jaune stated, activating a holoscreen, "This is the documentation of the old Laws of Alliance for the Valean Constitution. Under Section 4, paragraph 9, we initiated an Alliance of Mutual Defense. A temporary alliance between us based on some... Pretty outdated language."



"Which did require an engagement between myself and Jaune," Blake supplied quietly. Jaune nodded.



"Yeah... So... The treaty is made in an emergency, and lasts about thirty days under the current framework. Basically you give us military aid and we grant your troops as much local support as possible."



"And the engagement essentially gives you a hostage in the form of our daughter so we behave," Ghira stated bluntly. Jaune winced.



"I-I mean... In not so many words but-"



"It's okay, Jaune," Blake said quietly. She squeezed his hand. "That's how these old laws worked. It let us save Vale... I don't regret it."



"But," Ghira pointed out, "Backing out of a marriage alliance would be a bit of a disaster politically speaking... Not that this whole thing hasn't been a clusterfuck to begin with."



"Ghira," Kali gently admonished. Ghira snorted.



"What? Am I wrong?"



"Nope," Jaune sighed, even as Blake winced and Professor Oobleck smirked slighty behind his coffee cup. "I-I just... I'm not going to hurt Blake if things go wrong. Not now, not ever."



Blake squeezed his hand again. Jaune slowly nodded. Ghira smiled.



"Good. Now, we were aware of the old treaties. This current treaty needs to be replaced with something more modern and workable. I've worked with my advisors and diplomats on such a treaty." He inserted a datachip into the holoprojector. "Here is our proposal."



Blake could sense Jaune's tension. She really couldn't blame him. She knew her father was a good man, really, truly. She also knew politics was a cuthroat game, and Menagerie had Vale over a barrel. Menagerie's forces were the only thing keeping Vale from collapsing under the chaos of the Grimm right now. Sure, the Valean Rangers, Militias, Hunters, and even regular police were doing a lot better, but until some kind of defense force could be established, it was all on Menagerie.



She read the treaty proposal with Jaune in silence, occassionally reaching out to flip the page. Jaune frowned deeply, as Oobleck leaned over to read with him.



"Something wrong, Your Majesty?" Ghira asked.



"I uh..." Jaune looked over at Oobleck. The professor too was frowning in confusion. Blake read a bit more, and blinked rapidly.



"It's... Generous," Oobleck stated quietly. "Very generous. Extremely generous."



"Is it?" Kali asked with a small smile.



"Yeah," Jaune said with a nod, "I mean... Lowered tariffs on Menagerie goods is fine, but... You'll barely be making any money with these rates! An embassy? Assistance in creating your own Hunter Academy? And a standard mutual defense pact when we don't even have a military yet?"



Ghira smiled softly, and nodded.



"Indeed."



"I-I mean, it's barely thirty pages!" Jaune blurted out. "I thought this stuff was hundreds of pages long!"



"Usually, yes," Ghira said, "And there is a provision in the treaty to renegotiate it in two years' time."



At Jaune's continued disbelief Ghira sighed.



"Allow me to be open and honest with you, Your Majesty... Jaune. If I were in your position, I would be suspicious of any diplomatic overture I made. I can't blame you. Menagerie has been getting by finding loopholes and aggressively exploiting them. That, and Kali and I did found the White Fang. I imagine your advisors have been wondering if this is all a long con with the use of my own daughter to facilitate a better position for Menagerie."



Jaune managed to maintain his poker face at that. Blake blanched.



"N-No, I would never-!"



"I know," Jaune stated firmly. "So... Since we're being open and honest, what is your gameplan?"



Ghira let out a long, slow breath.



"It is because of those things and the White Fang we are doing things in this way," he stated firmly. "If we had not agreed to an alliance right then and there, then the last thing the rest of Remnant would have seen on the CCTnet was the White Fang brutally massacring innocent civilians and using Grimm to destroy a major city. The hatred and mistrust towards Faunus worldwide would skyrocket, which would increase Grimm attacks across the planet. I believe that was the intention of Cinder, and whoever is pulling her strings."



Jaune slowly nodded.



"I see," he said quietly.



"We still have a lot to make up for," Ghira went on, "My troops are on their best behavior but fights are still breaking out between them and Valeans. There are anti-Faunus attacks going on as well. The only way to thwart the plans of this puppetmaster, to save more lives, Faunus and human, was to ally with you. To offer you my daughter. And to ensure that the terms of our alliance were as beneficial to you as possible."



Ghira locked eyes with Jaune.



"I do want Menagerie to be recognized as the Fifth Kingdom. That goal has not changed. But I want to do it without destroying another Kingdom in the process. After all, in the end, the Grimm do not care if we are human or Faunus. They will consume us all."



Ghira sat back.



"That is the reason for this simple treaty," he said, "You can believe me or not, Your Majesty. That is your call. But I told you this because I believe you would see that there is very little reason for me to lie."



Jaune slowly nodded.



"True..."



He turned to Oobleck. He slowly nodded. Jaune turned back to Ghira and Kali.



"I'm going to have to talk to my advisors on this, and the final version will have to be ratified by the newly elected Council," Jaune stated, "We're organizing emergency elections right now but it's going to take some time."



Ghira was motionless, staring back at him. Jaune squeezed Blake's hand.



"However... I think I can authorize an extension of this emergency alliance," Jaune said carefully, "Especially since I will be marrying your daughter soon. That keeps it in play for a while longer as is."



Ghira looked over at Blake.



"Are you all right with this, Blake?" He asked, not as a politician, but as a father.



Blake swallowed, and nodded.



"I... I think I can do a lot more good for Faunus and Human relations... And-And the world... As a queen than as part of the White Fang," she said quietly, "And Jaune is a good man. We... We'll make it work."



Jaune managed to hide a blush at that.



"I'll see to the arrangements, Your Majesty," Oobleck stated, "I believe Glynda is on your wedding preparations, along with Port."



Jaune blinked in surprise.



"Professor Port does wedding planning?"



"I believe he will be handling the military side of things, a proper royal wedding requires battleship guns in the old Valean customs," Oobleck stated. He nodded respectfully to them all, "If you'll excuse me, Your Majesty?"



"Of course," Jaune said with a nod. Oobleck walked out, closing the door behind him. Kali sighed in relief.



"Well... If the work part of things is done for now," she looked intently at Jaune, "Jaune. I have heard you have seven sisters."



Jaune coughed.



"Ah, y-yeah. They're being brought here with my parents so I can update them on everything-"



"Is this common in your family?" She pressed.



Jaune stared at her. Blake winced.



"Mother..."



"Lots of kids? Yeah, usually," Jaune said, "I've lost track of how many cousins I have."



"Lots of twins and triplets?"



"Loads," Jaune agreed.



Kali beamed and clapped her hands together.



"Wonderful! I can't wait for the grandkittens! Oh they're going to be so cute! So blond!"



Jaune looked over at Blake for some kind of help. She sighed and shook her head, as she had none to offer.



"We'll work on it, Mom," Blake said, "Really."



"I mean, the best part of your royal duty includes needing to get laid and have kids!"



"MOM!" Blake groaned in exasperation, as Jaune blushed.



"Er, um... I-I mean, we'll... Definitely get to it..."



"It's just a... A little complicated, Mom," Blake said as she flattened her ears.



Kali stared at them, and sniffed.



"What? Other women in love with Jaune?"



Blake and Jaune blanched.



"MOM!"



"Ah, so there are!" Kali nodded, "I thought as much! Well, what have you been reading all those harem erotica novesl for if not for this moment?"



"MOMMMM!"

An idea for one more Arc relatives.
One or more Igor(s) transplanted from the Discworld series/setting.
It could be 1 uncle or a whole sub-clan within the arc family (or from Jaune's mother's side).
edit; If Jaune's mother is a doctor, it would make a lot of sense if she was a member of the Igor clan if they're part of Jaune's family.

Spoiler: Explanation of Discworld Igors/igorinnas (it's a bit long, so spoiler to safe space)

Most Igors are professional servants to mad scientists or (evil?) nobles, and despite their quirks are actually extremely efficient at accomplishing whatever task they are assigned (medical, mechanical, chemical, bioengineering, glass-blowing, you name it they can do it) but when instructed to make/do something for their master, they will follow their instructions to the letter, often taking it much further than their master intended.
While Igors are incredibly loyal to their masters, they're not suckers - one of their many talents is knowing exactly when the law, the angry mob, or the wrath of the gods is about to show up, and they'll make themselves scarce just before it happens .

Male Igors look like the typical mad scientist (Frankenstein) assistants and are covered in (cosmetic) surgical scars and stitches (because it's traditional), and despite their looks, Igors are somehow very popular with the young ladies.
Female members, typically called Igorinas, are always extremely beautiful, but will have a few fashionable cosmetic scars or a single imperfection (who would notice, otherwise? They view this as advertising).

Igor(s) is/are extremely good surgeons, especially when it comes to transplants, bordering on the level of impossible (in Discworld by law, if it takes an Igor to save someone's life, their attacker is tried as if they had committed full-on murder), and are entirely capable of making every scar left in patients completely invisible (which is pretty much with everybody except for themselves).
Igors use any intact organs they can get their hands on to help someone else down the line (if an Igor tells you he has his grandfather's, he means it literally).
There have a number of weird intentional quirks, coming from their strong attachment to "the traditional methods".
Things like noiselessly appearing right behind someone when called, walking with a limp, talking with a lisp, having a big lever, knowing when a thunderstorm is coming, all of them being called Igor/Igorina, and opening every door right before a visitor knocks (and there's always a creak).

Hmm. How about these.

Cousin Siegfried.
He's not really a cousin, but he's related to Nick Arc. Siegfried managed to track Nick down when he started looking for his surviving family.
Siegfried is a well-built (if a bit short) blonde man with a scar over his left eye and he's incredibly strong even without Aura.

His greatest power (and source of his troubles) is his Semblance. It increases his Aura reserves and strength the longer he fights, but at the cost of his reason. If he uses his Semblance for too long, he becomes nigh-unstoppable berserker who'd attack (and likely kill) friend and foe alike.

During one of his Semblance-induced rampages, Siegfried slain his own father and lost his right arm. This caused him to estrange himself from his family and he generally tries to stay away from people. He did try to track down his surviving family though and keeps tabs on them.

Siegfried right arm is replaced with deliberately noticeable prothesis – a large mechanical claw, which has warning light on the surface. If Siegfried uses his semblance for too long and his aura gets high enough to start suppressing his reasoning the lights glow red as a warning for anyone to stay away.

Siegfried himself is pretty nice guy who deliberately tries to avoid conflict (his luck is only slightly better than Qrow's though so he often ends up in one conflict or another). And much problem comes from Siegfried's friends (human are social beings after all and can't really isolate themselves for too long), as it takes a special kind of person to travel with a guy likely to go berserk in a fight. So the two dudes who follow him around – lizard faunus Aeon and the swordsman Heishiro are both pretty much crazy. Aeon's semblance gives him "stat boosts" based on traits of animals he eats, so he spends his time hunting endangered species or rare pets. Heishiro wants to become world's greatest swordsman and constantly challenges strong people to fights.

There's also Cassandra who makes Yang look cool and collected and stalks Siegfried to force him to return home and marry Cassandra's sister – his childhood sweetheart, because "horrible, horrible things will come to pass if Sophie marries her current boyfriend".

Siegfried immediately went to look for Jaune after he took off for Beacon and finally tracked him down to Vale. While Siegfried is perfectly willing to just report to the Arc family that Jaune is just fine, he now has to deal with Heishiro constantly challenging Pyrrha and Weiss, Aeon trying to eat Zwei and Jaune's harem misinterpreting Cassandra's intentions.

(There also might or might not be a chivalrous ninja-thief robbing both SDC and Roman).


Cousin Eddie.
Edward or Eddie to his friends and family is an investigative reporter who is normally a good and reasonable. Except when he believes people are hiding a story from him – and when he pursues the story, Eddie makes Blake look rational.

Eddie has short blondie hair and is usually unshaven. He is a very well built individual and he spends a lot of time working out (when he's not doing investigative journalism he moonlights as a fitness trainer).

Eddie has his Aura unlocked and his semblance is an …odd one. Much like his cousin Isabel is has to do with body control. But rather than directly giving Eddie control of his biology it manifests as almost separate entity acting on Eddie's subconscious thoughts and impulses. It looks like a living black goo, which Eddie wears as a "suit" which increases his physical strength and durability, heal himself and other people and attack with whip-tentacles. Unfortunately, it also makes him look like a Grimm, so he's often attacked by Huntsmen.

Tracking down his missing relative is a child's play for Eddie, but the story of the Raggedy Knight has triggered his "reporter mode". So, he would likely be intervening. A lot.

On a side note, Eddie really, really, really hates spiders for some reason.

-For "The Arc Clan": Come up with another Arc relative and how much of a headache that will be for Jaune and his friends.

Click to shrink...

Uncle Reinhardt Heydrich.
He is one of the Arcs born with golden eyes.

He is a retired General from Mantle. He has the Semblance "Longinus" that allows him to summon a golden spear anywhere on his body that can piece through anything and it can be used to channel other people's semblance so long as he is considered their leader. Resulting in many misunderstandings in his youth.

His best friend, Mercurius, may or may not be an actual god and an avatar of the Ever After.

His cousin, Helios, looks identical to Reinhardt but he has the blue eyes of an Arc. He is as smart as Jaune, so basically stupid.

Helios's Aura is considered so unfathomably large that it is like looking at a Sun. His Semblance makes him a literal personification of the Sun whenever it is used. Unfortunately, or fortunately, he has ADHD and a combat junkie, he often overlooks his Semblance for good ol' fashioned fisticuffs.

The two of them hates one another because of a noodle incident involving Mercurius, a bunch of chickens, and actual noodles.

Russell: "Er, Boss... The hell are you doing dating an anim-I-I mean, Faunus?"



Cardin: "Nice catch, Russell. And I'm dating her to keep some creep off of her."



Sky: "With no ulterior motives whatsoever, right?"



Cardin: glares "The hell's that supposed to mean, Sky?"



Sky: "I-I'm just saying... I mean... Uh... Dove?"



Dove: sighs "You're acting like you're smitten with her, Cardin."



Cardin: "N-no! I mean, sure, she's a super hot bunny girl and all... And a good cook... And has a cute accent when she slips into it... And is hot when she curses..."



Much staring.



Cardin: "... Okay fine! So I like her a little! What's the big deal?"



Russell: "I'm just saying, Boss, you're getting in the way of Hex Skvader. He's an asshole but he's damn good at what he does. Namely, kicking ass. You really want to cross him?"



Cardin: "What's the worst that could happen?"



Elsewhere...



Hex: "My Lord.. I wish to join the White Fang. For my heart has been crushed by human filth."



Adam Taurus, sitting on a throne, stares at the rabbit Faunus who has come so far to him.



Adam: "How so?"



Hex: "A human male... A filthy hairless monkey... He stole... MY WAIFU!"



Hex sobs and holds up his Scroll with a photoshopped version of his wedding to Velvet.



Hex: "IT WAS GOING TO BE PERFECT! BUT I GOT NTR'D!"



Adam is expressionless... Before he rises, walks up to Hex, and pulls him up to his feet into a hug.



Adam: "Brother... WELCOME! We too know the pain of getting NTR'D by those pitiless human THUGS!"



Hex: sobs "BROTHER!"



Adam: "BROTHERRRRR!"

Oh my God it all makes sense now.

The only fucking imports menagerie can get is weeb shit.

It's a entire island of weebs and the white fang probably think they're all protagonist.

> Even without being a Hunstman, Jaune; 's natural talent for being one shines through (what else would you call someone who became skilled enough to match family-trained huntsmen in a year or two from nothing with some one-on-one training?) and he saves villages and towns off the cuff by acting as a tactical general and directing militias to repel Grimm and bandit attacks.

An idea for one more Arc relatives.
One or more Igor(s) transplanted from the Discworld series/setting.
It could be 1 uncle or a whole sub-clan within the arc family (or from Jaune's mother's side).

Addendum to this post of mine (which I will edit in).
If Jaune's mother is a doctor, it would make sense if she was a member of the Igor clan.

Adam: "Brother... WELCOME! We too know the pain of getting NTR'D by those pitiless human THUGS!"



Hex: sobs "BROTHER!"



Adam: "BROTHERRRRR!"

In the wake of the Faunus Revolution, the Valean Defense Force was slowly dissolved as the Atlasian military took up most peacekeeping duties across Remnant. However, it was easy to see that even Atlas' powerful military could not cover everything. Especially with the continuing, extensive efforts to expand out into the Valean wilderness and frontier.

As a result, many former Valean Defense Force soldiers were reformed into the Valean Rangers. The Rangers had existed in some form or another across Remnant, but this was the first federal-level organization of a police and paramilitary force. Valean Rangers were stationed across Vale, with Ranger bases and stations placed along trade routes, railroads, and roads expanding out into the frontier settlement zones. They were also put in as law enforcement at several establish cities and provinces for crimes that took place across provincial lines.

The duties of the Rangers included investigating crimes, culling Grimm numbers to ensure safe passage for travelers, dealing with bandit tribes and smugglers, and maintaining peace between various communities on the frontier. Their bases and outposts also served as safe rest spots for caravans, cattle drives, and other groups of travelers. Towns often grow up around Ranger bases due to the protection they offer.

Valean Rangers offered steady pay and training in a wide variety of vocations, so it was popular for men and women out of work. It also granted experience that allowed for former Rangers to organize militias to defend their towns, go into the PMC business, or even become Hunters/Huntresses. Aura Unlocking was also an option for Rangers of sufficient rank and potential, though was heavily restricted due to incidents of Rangers with Aura abusing their position and power on the frontier.

The Rangers of Vale wear distinct Green cloaks over their green uniforms with Cavalry Stetsons that come in black or white. Red or yellow bandannas are popular attire. Due to the issues of mechanical logistics on the frontier, most Rangers use horses for transportation, though there are airborne and mechanized divisions. They are issued sabers and cutlasses as standard melee weapons, with standard Winchester Firearms, Ares Armaments, and Caturix Ltd. firearms ranging from pistols to shotguns to semi-auto rifles, grenades, and other Dust enabled weapons.

A popular subject of films, comics, TV shows and other media, the Valean Rangers is an organization dedicated to protecting the citizens of Vale from enemies, foreign or domestic.

 

[Fusion Blaster]

going off the above and my own entry into the anneals of the greater Arc clan


One of the most famous Rangers was J.B. Reid-Arc. Who was the last survivor of a troop of rangers wiped out by a gang and went undercover as a masked bandit to bring down the gang.

He worked with a Horse faunus name Silver T. Kato

In Oobleck's class...

Oobleck: "As a Huntsman, while you belong to an apolitical system across all four kingdoms, politics is nevertheless a variable you will have to deal with at some point! Many prominent politicians were former Huntsmen or Huntresses, while others have a very negative view of us! You must be aware of the political situation as best you can! To ease you into this topic, we will be watching notable moments from the Valean Council minutes from the last session! Please make notes on anything that catches your interest!"

Yang: "Aw man... This is gonna suuuck..."

Weiss: "Pay attention! This is vitally important!"

Jaune: *sigh* "I hate to say it but she's right. My mom talked about politics at home all the time because of her job. It is important."

Yang: "So, can I bum some notes off you, Ladykiller?"

Nora: "Hey! His team gets bumming rights first!"

Weiss: "Shush! It's starting!"

The screen shows the Valean Council chambers... And several politicians are fighting furiously.

Weiss: "... I... Wha...?"

Pyrrha: "Is it the wrong channel?"

Oobleck: 'It is not! This is a brawl that broke out over Bill 204.9, over tariffs and the trading Treaty with Menagerie! As you can see, Councilman Winchester is grappling with Councilman Uzi over work permit limits for foreign nationals-OH! A RIGHT HOOK! A LEFT HOOK! AND-CAN IT BE? WINCHESTER'S GOT HIM IN A HOLD AND-YES! PILEDRIVER! PILEDRIVVVER!"

Cardin: "GO DAD!"

Councilman Winchester piledrives Uzi right through a wooden table. Uzi then gets up when Winchester's back is turned, and tackles him from behind right through another desk.

Cardin: "Oh, what?! BOO!"

Oobleck: "Yes, the Party Whip had to get involved for that one!"

Weiss: *staring in horror* "This is Valean politics?!"

Jaune: "Well they outlawed actual weapons in chambers but yeah, pretty much."

Yang: *grins* "I have a new career goal."
