A cover I made for my upcoming RWBY rewrite. Called AAAFA for short.It is an Alternate Universe (AU), and the important thing to understand here is that it is not technically a "rewrite", because I am not interested in making a "fix-it" type fic where I try to fix the show. There will be some deviation and changes because my goal is to make characters, fights and plots interesting. Adhering to canon is something not very high on the priority list, but I won't disregard canon lore entirely either.The basic premise revolves around team RWBY coming together to take down the biggest organized crime family in Vale, the Torchwick family, with Roman at the head of the operation. Team RWBY must learn to work together to uncover Roman's secret Ability and learn how he has never been caught before. It is said that his Ability makes Roman invincible, and anybody who learns of it would die shortly after.It is a "villain/monster of the week" format with the scope of the show minimized to a significant degree, there is no world ending threat (not yet anyway), instead events and plots are in a more episodic format.

There will be some reworking of the magic system.

For instance, there are no Aura or Semblances in this Rewrite. Instead superpowered abilities are tied to each character's weapon. Each weapon are powered and crafted from Dust cores (basically batteries), and there's a limit to how much an optimized weapon can carry Dust.

Grimm also goes through a few changes. Firstly is that Grimm aren't actually monsters. They are a virus that can infect any living being, when in contact, it transforms that being into something more gruesome and powerful, so a wolf will be turned in to a Beowulf, and so on so forth. And yes, this includes humans/Faunus as well, humans infected by Grimm will be turned into a sort of vampire monster.

Grimm has one major weakness, in that they are allergic to Dust. The only exception is Ice Dust, because thematically speaking, ice represents the lack of movement, the lack of energy, or death. So these undead creatures are not affected by ice. This does mean that every human vampire will not be capable of using a weapon thus won't have an Ability.

I do not own RWBY, all rights goes to Rooster Teeth and the creator Monty Oum (may he rest in peace).
