History Fanfic / RemnantsReclaimer

* WarIsHell: The war against Cinder is so bad that once it is over, Rose states the other three kingdoms will annex Vale simply because there isn't anything left. The economy, population, and infrastructure are completely destroyed. On a more personal note, the war costs Rose an eye, Future!Weiss one of her arms, reduces Future!Blake into a coma, and costs Future!Yang her life.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Cinder. [[spoiler: Her decade-long plan completely wipes out the Huntsmen of Vale. She kills nearly half the students of Beacon in one sitting by poisoning a graduation feast (of the staff, only Ooblek survives). She repeatedly unleashes Grimm on towns and villages in order to undercut faith in Huntsmen, then rebels with the support of much of the population of Vale supporting her. Then she prevents the other three kingdoms from interfering by declaring it a civil war, which ties them up politically. The only reason Cinder lost is because of Team [=RWBY=], who hold her off long enough to deplete her officer base. If they hadn't been there, Cinder would have won easily.]]

* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Future!Ruby and Present!Ruby bond over weapons and cookies.

* NotSoStoic: Happens twice to Ozpin. The first is when he mistakes Rose for [[StrongFamilyResemblance her mother Summer]], so shocked that he ''drops his coffee mug''. The second is when he learns the nature of Cinder's attack on Beacon in the future.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Cinder. [[spoiler: Her decade-long plan completely wipes out the Huntsman of Vale. She kills about half of them in one sitting by poisoning a graduation feast (of the Beacon Staff, only Ooblek survives). She unleashes Grimm on towns and villages to prove the Huntsman aren't capable of protecting the populace, then rebels with the support of much of the population of Vale supporting her. She then declares it a civil war, which prevents the other three kingdoms from aiding Vale for political reasons. The only reason Cinder lost is because of Team [=RWBY=], who hold her off long enough to deplete her officer base. If they hadn't been there, Cinder would have won easily.]]

* BadassFamily: As per canon, the Rose/Xaio-Long/Branwen family is incredibly badass. When on missions together, nothing but the [[HeroKiller Eldest Grimm]] even stand a chance.

* FutureMeScaresMe: Milder than most examples, but whenever Rose gets a murderous look in her eye or reminds RWBY that she is a cold-blooded killer, Young!Ruby shivers.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: As {{Adorkable}} as 15-year-old Ruby is, watching her future self's face contort with rage and hate at thoughts of Cinder Fall is particularly unnerving to her teammates and younger self.

** Apparently, huntsman and huntress get them if they get good enough. Rose is "The Crimson Harvester" with Qrow is "The Hewer".
** Any Grimm that lives long enough to get a name also gets a title. In this case, Izhar the Ravager.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Yang gives off several when she discovers she is lava-proof.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Tai-Yang and Qrow. They constantly rip into eachother, but it is clear they have been friends since they were teenagers.
* WarIsHell: The war against Cinder is so bad that after it is over, Rose states the other three kingdoms will annex Vale simply because there isn't anything left.

* EmbarrasingNickname: After getting an acid burn in the shape of a heart on his ass, [[spoiler:Tai-Yang]] is called Sweetcheeks.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Cinder. Her plan which spans a decade completely destroys the entire Huntsman base of Vale as well as gaining the sympathy from much of the population of Vale at the same time. If it hadn't been for Team [=RWBY=] being there, she would have won.

* TragicKeepsake: Yang's scarf.

** Almost becomes a FunnyAneurysmMoment in the wake of Monty Oum's death. One reviewer, however, suggests that the author keep using it, as a tribute to the man himself.

** Weiss' father. Rose flat-out calls him a slaver and the most morally repugnant being on Remnant, short of Cinder herself. Weiss doesn't take this accusation well.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10813469/1/Remnant-s-Reclaimer Remnant's Reclaimer]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6253787/Hysterical-Clerical-Hijinks Hysterical Clerical Hijinks]] is a ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' fanfic.

* AnArmAndALeg: Future!Weiss has lost an arm by the time Ruby goes back.

* CerebusSyndrome[=/=]DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the original series. Canon!Cinder Fall is certainly villainous, but her motives are still largely unknown. In this fic, her aim is to [[spoiler:become the queen of Vale, despite the fact that Vale hasn't been a monarchy for over 500 years]], and is willing to murder thousands of people in order to get it. She also [[spoiler:is responsible for the violent direction that the White Fang has been taking recently, having secretly killed the previous leader in a coup d'etat.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: As {{Adorkable}} as 15-year-old Ruby is, seeing her future self's face contort with rage and hate at thoughts of Cinder Fall is particularly unnerving to her teammates and younger self.

** MyFutureSelfAndMe: Rose lands in the past in the middle of Team RWBY's dorm.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Future!Ruby looks - and sounds - so much like her late mother Summer, that several characters mistake her for her at first glance, including Ozpin and ''her own father''.
** Slightly subverted, though, as Tai-Yang notes that Rose is much taller than her mother was.

* CerebusSyndrome[=/=]DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the original series. Canon!Cinder Fall is certainly villainous, but her motives are still largely unknown. In this fic, her aim is to [[spoiler:become the queen of Vale, despite the fact that Vale hasn't been a monarchy for over 500 years]], and is willing to murder thousands of people in order to get it. She also [[spoiler:is responsible for the new violent direction that the White Fang has been taking, having secretly killed the previous leader in a coup d'etat.]]

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldKnow: Tai-Yang tests Rose this way, to confirm that she really is Ruby.

* DeflectorShields: Taiyang Xiao-Long's semblance allows him to create force fields that can block any one specific type of energy.

* IShallTauntYou: Taiyang does this to distract [[HeroKiller Izhar]] [[RedBaron the]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Ravager]] at a critical moment, allowing [[spoiler:Glynda]] to land a crippling blow on the Grimm.
* MadeOfExplodium: Taiyang's weapon [[DropTheHammer Malwr]] contains what is known as a Reusable Kinetic Grenade. Without his [[DeflectorShields semblance]] to be able to shut it off manually, it would never ''stop'' exploding!

** Slightly subverted, though: Taiyang notes that Ruby is much taller than Summer was.

* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized

* CurbStompBattle: Rose takes on all of Team RWBY at once in a match. They don't even last a minute, or even land a single hit.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: As Adorkable as 15-year-old Ruby Rose is, witnessing her future self's face contort with rage and hate at thoughts of Cinder Fall is very unnerving to her teammates and younger self.
