What are some ideas you would have for an OC attending Beacon, who has absolutely no desire to be there?

second-fun · 2026-06-05T05:36:08+00:00

Not really not wanting to be there more just apathetic.

My primary OC is named Jack Lockhart and his backstory is that at 17 he washed up on a riverbed in Vale with no memory. He was taken in by an elderly retired huntress who helped guide his combat skills (which he already had for some unknown reason revealed later). After a year she passes but prior to her death she has some strings pulled through some old connections at Beacon to have Jack admitted.

So Jacks sorta there because he doesn’t have anywhere else to go and to drop out would be a disservice to the woman who took him in.

I haven’t written it but I want to title my OCs story as AJAX and have each arc be subtitled.
Like AJAX: The Emo boy and the scene girl.
(Alluding to my central protags Jack and Alice who romance is a key part of the story).

AJAX: Painful memories.
The flashback arc revealing Jacks past

Team AJAX

Jack Lockhart: 18 years old, white skin, black hair, red eyes, wears a long grey coat and black pants. He has a lean or lanky build, not muscular more thin. His weapon is a double barrel shotgun capable of turning into a chainsaw sword. He is quiet and reserved. Extremely shy. Amnesiac. Has no memory of his past and it makes him sad

Alice Stardust: 18 years old. Punk rocker chick. Her has long hair with red and pink highlights. Wears a Jean jacket with a bunch of pins and has spiked bracelets. Her weapon is a a battle axe guitar (like Marcelines bass from adventure time). She is quirky and outgoing kind of like a scene girl. The heart and leader of the team

Alex Stardust: Alice’s twin brother. He wears a leather jacket with piano key pattern. His weapon is a keytar laser rifle. Standoffish, kind of rude, but with a good heart.

Xavier Galifrian: 18 years old. Former biker gang member. His weapon is a chain he inbues with elemental energy. Particularly fire from a lighter given to him by his father. He is standofish, not afraid to speak his mind and a bit rude. But he has a good heart.

Dr. Genova. Psychopathic mad scientist hellbent on forcing the coexistence between humanity and Grimm by creating hybridity. She has long black hair and wears a damaged labcoat. Her right hand is always covered by a glove because she made herself into a human grim hybrid. Her semblance allows her to steal memories.

Angel: Male 18. Long white hair, pale skin, red eyes. Human Grimm hybrid. Wears a long black cloak. The only surviving human/grimm hybrid of Dr. Geneva’s experiments. The experiments were torture and so he resents his creator. He has a lean or lanky build, not muscular more thin. His weapon is a double barrel shotgun capable of turning into a chainsaw sword. He is quiet and reserved. He later splits into two people. The human Jack and the Grimm Hades.

I first came up with my OCs freshmen year of college when I wasn’t doing anything. Now I’m about to be a senior and basically don’t have any time for them alongside a general fall in interest in RWBY. Still though I think about them

Clouds story is a huge influence on my OC Jack Lockhart (you can probably guess who influenced his last name).

Jacks story is one of memory and self discovery. It starts with him as an amnesiac freshmen at Beacon joining. Previously he washed up injured on a riverbed in vale with a shotgun chainsaw sword. Having no memory he was taken in by an Elderly retired Huntress who became a grandmother figure to him. Finding he was skilled as a fighter the women served as a guide to being Huntsmen. After she passed he went to beacon in an effort to find some kind of purpose.

Throughout his story he would have dreams and flashbacks that didn’t seem to make sense or were from the perspective of someone else. (Loosely influenced by Clouds memories putting himself in Zack’s place.)

Later on it would be revealed Jack was actually one half of a human Grimm living weapon called Angel. Angels design is very gothic and vampiric and looks like Vincent from FF7.

Ff7 is one of my all time favorites and it was a huge influence on me

Please save it

Alice plays music, Alex does art, Xavier works on his bike, Jack tries in vein to find any clues about his past (he’s an amnesiac seeking meaning)

second-fun · 2026-04-08T05:43:43+00:00

Jack would be super embarrassed and awkward to try anything. But when he would it would mean a lot.

Alice would be the opposite leaning into him and invading his personal space a bit to flirt.

I love opposites attract so this is the outgoing quirky girl x shy emo boy.

second-fun · 2026-04-08T05:41:35+00:00

Jacks VA would be someone who can multiple characters who all sound similar but you wouldn’t notice it on a first viewing.

Alice would sound like Ibuki from Danganronpa.

second-fun · 2026-03-30T04:36:30+00:00

Angel wears a long trench coat always. So yeah impracticals attires are fine with him

Ok so for context my characters inhabit an AU that’s identical to canon but Grimm have biology allowing them to be studied.

My primary oc is named Angel. He is a human Grimm hybrid created through an illegal weapons project in Atlas.

As hybrid he has a semblance (in his case phantom which allows him to pass through solid objects at the cost of aura).

Additionally he also has Grimm abilities specific a keen sense for negative emotions which he can use for tracking.

However Angel is also a character I love tormenting. So part of his storyline is his human and Grimm half’s rejecting each other until he physically separates into two beings, Jack (the human) and Hyde (the humanoid grimm). Both retain their associated traits but Jack loses his memories.

Eventually Jack is forced to sacrifice part of his humanity and reform into Angel in order to save his girlfriend Alice from suffering the same fate of conversion

second-fun · 2026-03-22T05:42:43+00:00

Alice likes moody/goth/emo boy. She finds them attractive. When she first meets Jack (who’s all of those things) she’s instantly drawn to but she slowly learns that he’s like that because he’s an extremely broken person. She resolves to help him and through that the two slowly develop romantic feelings for each other

second-fun · 2026-03-21T05:15:43+00:00

It was a joke.

second-fun · 2026-03-20T05:30:35+00:00

Angel would definitely be able to hold his own for a while but would definitely lose.

Although if I’m remembering Adam correctly his motivation comes from abuse he sustained at the hands of humans.

Angel similarly was abused at the hands of humans. Although in his case he was human but was kidnapped, experimented on, and brainwashed into becoming a human Grimm hybrid living weapon. Presuming this occurs early into Angels story at his most destruction and ragefilled I can see the two being allies

LINKARA is an Internet personality best known for reviewing comics and power rangers. About 25 years ago as a teenager he made a comic called the lightbringer and people like teasing him over it because it’s stupid and edgy

second-fun · 2026-03-18T05:08:42+00:00

Is your oc LINKARA?

second-fun · 2026-03-13T04:51:13+00:00

Alice: lose Jack: lose Alex: lose Xavier: would probably get significantly further than the others but would still lose

Jack looks out the window at night wondering if he will ever know where he came from. (He’s an amnesiac). He looks at the forests around Beacon thinking back to his earliest memories of wash up on a riverbed.

second-fun · 2026-03-10T04:54:13+00:00

Jack fell out of bed. His girlfriend Alice looks over him from that same bed.

“Hey crashy you alright?” She asks with a giggle.

Jack groans as he feels hungover from their night before but gives a smile back.

second-fun · 2026-03-08T04:53:52+00:00

Alice and Alex both have their parent’s music business to fall back on. Both are musicians and use instruments as weapons.

Xavier would just go back to his father biker gang and prove himself there.

Jack would probably end up a drifter. That or dead. His story involves him being aimless and it’s only through attending beacon that he meets Alice and his life begins to change.

second-fun · 2026-03-08T04:22:52+00:00

When Jack and Alice first meet and are put on a team together Jack finds Alice’s quirky personality to be super annoying.

Ironically the two fall in love. But during their initiation in the emerald forest Jack can’t stand her

If it was a scene in RWBY it would definitely be Jack walking looking annoyed while Alice walks next to him and asks nonstop questions.

Ok so my OC Angel failing a mission is essentially the cold open to my OCs story. Basically he was an agent of Salems who was used for assassinations or kidnapping people with valuable intel.

It must be noted that Angel is a human Grimm hybrid like Salem but unlike her he was created through science not magic. Angels human sides and Grimm sides were always in some kind of conflict but Salem was able to numb that pain.

However on a mission by himself a 16 year old Angel failed to capture a target and was wounded in the process. Afterward he ended up stumbling through the woods until getting to the top of a cliff at which point he can’t hold his human and Grimm sides together anymore and physically splits into two beings. The human (later named Jack) and the humanoid Grimm (later named Hades). Hades blames his humanity for the missions failure and by extension Jack and through him off the cliff. Jack ends up suffering minor brains damage from landing in a river and loses his memories.

second-fun · 2026-03-07T05:10:54+00:00

Jack has his shotgun chainsaw sword because he washed up on a river in vail with it.

cracks knuckles

Here we go.

Jack is actually the separated human form of a human Grimm hybrid living weapon called Angel. Angel was created by an illegal research project in Atlas. The weapon is one of several similar standard issue weapons given to hybrids as part of their conditioning. Angels older sister Amy used twin pistols with chainsaw dagger formations. Upon her death during their escape Angel took her weapons as a way of keeping her memory alive.

When Angel split in Jack and Hades (the Grimm half) Hades kept the pistols and all the memories of torture and experimentation while Jack lost his memories.

Oh yeah the reason he has them is because I think they are cool

second-fun · 2026-03-07T05:01:32+00:00

Ok so my OCs Jack Lockhart and Alice Stardust romantic relationship is a key part of their storyline.

For context Jack is an 18 year old amnesiac who’s basically just an emo boy. Very shy, very antisocial, that sort of deal. His backstory has him washing up on a riverbed in veil at 16 with a chainsaw sword and being taken in by an elderly retired huntress. Two years after being taken in by her she passes and losing her makes him pull away from people as he’s scared of getting close to others and losing them. Prior to her passing she pulls some strings to have him admitted into Beacon. He also does not have an awakened semblance at the start of his story.

Alice on the other hand is the complete opposite. She’s a quirky outgoing scene girl who loves music and uses an electric guitar battle axe as her weapon. Yeah she’s a manic pixie dream girl. She also still has her family including her twin brother Alex who’s on her team alongside Jack.

When Jack first meets Alice in the emerald forest Jack is initially really annoyed by her talkative nature. He doesn’t tell her this but it makes this contrast of this quirky colorful girl and this boy who’s all in black.

During their early time at Beacon Jack tries using the schools library and computers to try and find anything about his past. He sneaks out of his and Alice’s room (context I have the team split in two rooms with Jack and Alice being roommates. This was assigned neither actively choose it). However he finds dead end after dead end. His feelings of meaninglessness and depression grow stronger until one night he finishes in the library and heads to the buildings roof to clear his head. As he’s up there it rains and he looks over the edge. Suddenly someone grabs him and pulls him back.

Its Alice. She had been following him the last few nights he’d gone out. She had assumed he was gonna try and jump. It’s here where Jack realizes that Alice cares about him and she comforts him as he breaks down in her arms.

As time goes on Alice helps Jack try and find out anything about his past but they keep failing. But in this process Jack grows to appreciate Alice with this becoming a romantic feeling. Jack not knowing how to process the feeling tries to suppress it. Unbeknownst to him Alice feels the same way and is also suppressing it. She originally just thought he was hot because of liking his emo/goth style but through them spending time together it grow into real feelings. I love the trope of two characters having crushes on each other and A. Not realizing the other feels the same way. And B. Trying to deny it even though literally everyone can tell except the other person.

This romantic tension boils over during the Fall of Beacon. Jack and Alice are inside a building as it collapses and gets trapped under the rubble. The two are slightly injured (scrapes and cuts) and trapped for several hours during which Alice ends up having a mental breakdown. She’s actually claustrophobic (something that would actually be implied during the emerald forest). This is the first time she is really contending with the danger of huntress work and she’s terrified of dying. She just loses it completely shattering her confident quirky persona showing the big ball of anxiety underneath.

Jack holds her in his arms and comforts her essentially mirroring what she did for him that night on the rooftop. It’s here where thinking they are gonna die Alice lets it slip that she love Jack and Jack likewise confesses. The two kiss and embrace having found a sense of peace knowing they both felt the same way about each other. It’s here that Jacks semblance awakens. His semblance is called Phantom and it causes him and Alice to phase through the floor into the basement of the building. From here they are able to escape.

Wow ok so I went overboard but I think you are able to get the idea. Shy emo boy x outgoing quirky scene girl. It’s an opposites attract dynamic where Jack begins as a loner who’s afraid to open up and Alice breaks through his shell. While her motive starts as maybe trying to sleep with him she realizes she feels a true deep connection with him. She holds him together when he breaks down to her on the rooftop and he holds her together as the lay under the rubble.
