| Against Despair (Fanfic) | comment |
Imagine what would happen if a shy red-hooded aspiring Huntress and weapon nut found out that she'd spend the next four years of her life with a natural-born leader with charms and a manifestation of the Shinto God of Creation as his partner, a moody teen who can manifest a sword which can cut through anything and a foul-mouthed ex-bounty hunter armed with the ability to devour souls and trained by a legendary hero as they all trained to become Huntsmen. What would you get? Not the plot of RWBY.Against Despair is a Fusion Fic written by d3alora set in the world of RWBY but with heavy influences from the three other franchises it had crossed fates with. The premise is simple in that it seems to be a retelling of the RWBY story with one major twist: many of the original team compositions from the canon are not formed, and in their places are brand-new teams that make use of the crossover - one key example is Team HRRN (Heron), comprised of Ruby Rose, Hyde Kido, Yu Narukami and Ragna the Bloodedge. As they and their classmates brace for the challenges ahead as the future defenders of Remnant, the mysterious Cinder Fall has assembled allies of her own to help bring Salem's vision of a collapsed society to come.According to Word of God, the story is a Dead Fic.In mid-July of 2022, a reboot was published, titled ADR: Megami Tensei (ADR standing for "Ascendent Divine Reboot"). A work-in-progress timeline can be found here. | |

Age Lift | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: Ragna, Noel, Tsubaki and Makoto are in their mid-to-late teens as opposed to being in their mid-20s at best, making them much younger than in their home canon. Justified in that they're supposed to be high school/university-level students. This also applies to certain Under Night characters as well. Enkidu, for example, is now the same age as the other Beacon students instead of being a fully grown man like he was in the game. The Black Beast was only around 100 years old in the series lore. Here, it's almost 1000 years old. | |

Villain Team-Up | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_169d22e6 | comment |
Villain Team-Up: Cinder's group here expands beyond her original group of herself, Emerald, Mercury, Roman and Neo. Hazama is Cinder's equal as a spy inside Atlas' Bureau of Intelligence, Tohru Adachi is a mole within the Vale Police Department, Gordeau is a hired gun and Azrael is the team's bruiser. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Beacon's initiation was completely skipped over in the original version of the story. Here, it's shown in full and given a lot of focus in early chapters. In addition, the initiation is now one large camping trip between the different teams with more focus on them bonding over the course of a few days rather than occurring across a few hours. | |

Kanji is this for Team MNYK. He gets forced into a bet against his will where he has to wear a dress if he loses against Tsubaki and Pyrrha(which he does lose pretty easily, though he gets Yu to take the fall and wear the dress), and has to eat Noel's cooking. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: While Ragna was the protagonist in canon, he did start out as a vengeful mass-murderer who killed countless soldiers to get back at the one guy who ruined his life. Here, his occupation prior to coming to Beacon was a bounty hunter and not a violent criminal. Not presently, but in Terumi's past as Susano'o, he was a benevolent god who aided in the creation of mankind. In canon, he was a complete prick from the very beginning. Unfortunately, being cast out by his siblings and disobeyed by Osiris (which caused him to be casted out) left him exceedingly bitter. This built up until he is now the monster we know him as. Jin is confirmed to be slightly less of a dick than he was in the games. He also completely lacks the psychotic yandere side of his personality. | |

Demon of Human Origin | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_438e4dd6 | comment |
Demon of Human Origin: If the story that Ozpin told Ragna is true, then the Black Beast was originally the son of one of the Maidens who bore an immense amount of anger within him. This rage grew as he became more sociopathic and sadistic in nature, warping his body and mind until he became the monster that the world fears; The Black Beast. | |

Butt-Monkey | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Every team in the story has at least one fall guy: Team HRRN has Hyde. At this point, he's lost a bet and was forced to be tutored by Tsubaki and Pyrrha and lost an off-page fight against Ruby. Ragna jokes that people will start to think he enjoys getting beaten up by girls. Kanji is this for Team MNYK. He gets forced into a bet against his will where he has to wear a dress if he loses against Tsubaki and Pyrrha(which he does lose pretty easily, though he gets Yu to take the fall and wear the dress), and has to eat Noel's cooking. Jaune is this to Team JMPR, much like how he was in canon. This even applies to the villain's side with Roman Torchwick. He doesn't really get a lot of respect despite his reputation as a high profile mob boss. Then again, considering who he works with, he can't really do much to stand out. He may not be a student at Beacon, but Yosuke sure ain't slacking off on his duties. His parents prevented him from applying for Beacon in favor of maintaining the family business. On his date with Blake, he was promptly stood up when she noticed a White Fang member going down an alley. | |

The Smurfette Principle: Ruby and Blake have gone from being part of an all-girl team to being the only female members of Team HRRN and SKRB, respectively. The One Guy: The flip-side is that Kanji is the only male in the predominantly female Team MNYK. Ditto Enkidu and Jaune in their respective teams. | |

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_72ce3f54 | comment |
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Team RWBY's non-formation here means that, at first, none of the girls (barring Ruby and Yang for obvious reasons) really get to know each other like before. Ruby implies that she was still responsible for Weiss' luggage being destroyed, but not being in a team together prevented them from ironing those issues other with each other. Blake is now part of a separate team and is first seen applying for a job at Junes. This also applies to the Investigation Team, which once existed in this canon like normal. When Yasogami High got attacked by the Grimm, all were offered the chance to continue studying in Beacon, but only Yu and Kanji accepted, though Rise is also attending after leaving her idol career (which she returned to, though she is micromanaging both); Yosuke was forced to stay behind and take over Junes as he grew up with Teddie working as an employee, Chie entered the Vale Police Academy, Yukiko started travelling to help with the Amagi Inn and Naoto pursued her own private investigation practice. The attack seemed to have dismantled the Team for good. Team JNPR has also been disbanded as well. Jaune and Pyrrha have the benefit of being together in a team with Rise and Mika while Ren is now teammates with Blake in their own team with Seth and Ken. Nora is still currently unaccounted for. In this continuity, the church fire that forms Ragna's Dark and Troubled Past is absent, and Jin and Saya are adopted normally. Ragna still receives his mentor-ship under Jubei, and gets sent to Beacon on his recommendation. Rachel is now included as one of the members of Ozpin's inner circle. Ozpin himself is said to be connected with the Six Heroes: he likely knows Valkenheyn through their shared connection to Rachel, he accepted Ragna into Beacon on Jubei's recommendation and has Hakumen hidden away under Beacon to be called forth in a time of great peril. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Ozpin/Osiris falling in love with a Maiden and fathering a child when he was explicitly warned not to resulted in said child eventually becoming the Black Beast. Meaning that he is unintentionally responsible for almost every tragedy that occurs in Remnant. The gods passing through the Arcana allowed them to serve mankind, but it also left the world completely unguarded when Terumi and Izanami escaped the Underworld. Ragna getting too aggressive with Weiss. While he was doing it to protect Ruby, he also ruined her chance at making amends with Weiss. | |

Complete Immortality | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_91b5521d | comment |
Downplayed with Salem. In canon, she has Complete Immortality, to the point where an all-knowing relic stated that there is nothing that can kill her. Here, while still immortal, said immortality is tethered to the existence of the Black Beast. If it's killed, then she will die as well. The downplayed part comes from the fact that this is only a temporary solution and killing the Beast is a feat in of itself. | |

Adaptational Jerkass: Downplayed, but Ragna's notably more antagonistic with his teammates than he was in the original version of the story, even outright backhanding Hyde. This is due to the story starting off with them just meeting while the original version began well after they became an established team. | |

Cosmic Plaything | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_b15b6a35 | comment |
Cosmic Plaything: Combining BlazBlue with the other three should give you an idea... Ruby: She's one of the Silver-Eyed warriors who were created by the gods to aid in the destruction of the Black Beast. This basically means she's fated to protect the planet, which wouldn't be so bad except for... Ragna: He's the reincarnation of the Black Beast itself. Whether by his own, very unlikely admission or not, he's going to turn into a horrific monster that will bring about the end of the world. Just to kick that puppy even more, this means that Ruby may have to kill him when that time comes. Hyde: As the bearer of the "Indulgence of Insulation", he carries within him the key to opening The Great Seal that shall unleash Nyx, goddess of the night into the world, bringing about death and devastation. Yu: Being bonded to Izanagi, god of creation, means that he must destroy the "Indulgence of Insulation", and by extension Hyde, to prevent Nyx's return. | |

The Ace: Almost every team has one member who fits the bill. Yu Narukami is this for Team HRRN, being an experienced and intelligent leader as well as the most well-rounded fighter. Team TWNE has Tsubaki, whose skills in both academic and combative fields can only be matched by a scant few. Pyrrha is, unsurprising, the overall-best fighter and student of Team JMPR. Kagura is not only the best of the Vale Police Department, but one of the best warriors in Remnant. He's one of the few with both the power and martial-prowess to fight and defeat the Mad Dog in single combat. The Six Heroes were an entire team of aces who set the standard for Remnant's best warriors. In their respective fields, they stand unrivaled. | |

| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_c3bdfbb9 | comment |
Let's You and Him Fight: When Hyde is roped into joining Jaune and Kanji for a tutoring session with Tsubaki and Pyrrha, he opts out of it by directly challenging the girls to a fight with Kanji; winning would have them take care of their coursework for a month, and losing means Kanji is forced to wear a dress to class. Hyde and Kanji proceed to lose their fight, but the latter is somehow able to let Yu take his place as a very willing Wholesome Crossdresser. | |

Luke, I Am Your Father | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_c83a589c | comment |
Luke, I Am Your Father: Both Ozpin and Salem are technically Ragna's parents, though he's unaware. For context, Ozpin, in his past life as Osiris, fell in love with one of the Four Maidens and they had an affair. The child born from that affair became the Black Beast, while the Maiden was corrupted and became Salem, while Osiris was cursed to forever reincarnate for his actions. Ragna is the reincarnation of the Beast itself, so for all intents and purposes, Ozpin and Salem are his father and mother. | |

Zig-zagged with Saya and the Imperator.

Adaptational Wimp | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: The Nox Nyctores, while still weapons wielded during the Dark War, aren't as powerful as they were in BlazBlue. Downplayed with Salem. In canon, she has Complete Immortality, to the point where an all-knowing relic stated that there is nothing that can kill her. Here, while still immortal, said immortality is tethered to the existence of the Black Beast. If it's killed, then she will die as well. The downplayed part comes from the fact that this is only a temporary solution and killing the Beast is a feat in of itself. | |

Action Girl: This being set in the world of RWBY, any female character qualifies. | |

Ship Tease | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Yang takes the time to make fun of her younger sister's supposed crush on Ragna. Rise uses Himiko to basically confirm it, and Ruby's reaction doesn't do anything to dissuade it. | |

Composite Character | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Both the characters and Remnant as a whole have combined elements from all 4 franchises: The lore and mythology of Remnant is set within Persona lore, specifically with the Shinto deities(and a few Greek here and their) taking the place of the "Brother gods". Though Susano'o is more strictly his BlazBlue counterpart while Izanami has elements of both Hades and Izanami-no-Mikoto/Marie. Ozpin was known as Osiris in his past life and his time as the unsung seventh member of the Six Heroes mirrors Bloodedge's. Kazuma and Hazama are the same person in this fanfic whereas in BlazBlue, they were completely separate characters. Ruby was slated to inherit Ragna's hatred toward Terumi, while Ragna would have gained a personal vendetta against an unrevealed RWBY villain. Atlas and the NOL are basically combined into The Imperium of Atlas. Yosuke is composited with Canon!Sun Wukong, having his affiliation with Blake. | |

Adaptation Origin Connection | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_e8dca77c | comment |
Adaptation Origin Connection: The Six Heroes still exist as the ones who defended Remnant from the Black Beast, who is now stated to be the very first Grimm. Murakumo units are now Atlesian Androids that were originally shut down years before the start of the fanfic, but a similar project based on the Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons from Persona has taken its place and is being backed up by the Imperator, who is now the ruler of Atlas rather than the entire planet. Zig-zagged with Saya and the Imperator. In BlazBlue, Hades Izanami was using Saya's body as a vessel to interact with the world.invoked Here, Saya is the prototype for "Project: Murakumo" and isn't Izanami's vessel, though Word of God does confirm that they still have an unspecified connection to each other. The Shinto Deities are the ones who shaped the foundation of Remnant as opposed to the "Brother gods". During the Dark War, Nine is known for having been the one to discover Aura and Semblance while Trinity is known for having been the first to discover Dust. | |

Jerkass | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Not presently, but in Terumi's past as Susano'o, he was a benevolent god who aided in the creation of mankind. In canon, he was a complete prick from the very beginning. Unfortunately, being cast out by his siblings and disobeyed by Osiris (which caused him to be casted out) left him exceedingly bitter. This built up until he is now the monster we know him as. | |

Adaptational Angst Downgrade | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_ec17dabd | comment |
Adaptational Angst Downgrade: Saya compared to both the BlazBlue series and the original version of the story. In both, she was experimented on to create the Murakumo Units. Here, she's a member of Licht Kreis and got to have a relatively normal childhood. | |

Great Offscreen War: Besides The Great War and the Faunus Rebellion, The Dark War where the Six Heroes fought against and saved the world from the Black Beast also happened in this timeline. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Against Despair (Fanfic) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
In this continuity, the church fire that forms Ragna's Dark and Troubled Past is absent, and Jin and Saya are adopted normally. Ragna still receives his mentor-ship under Jubei, and gets sent to Beacon on his recommendation. | |
