History Fanfic / ServantsOfRemnant

** Arjuna's prophecy requires 'the Restraints of the Round' to be released, and Cu is carrying Add, who has these restraints on him.
** [[BladeOnaStick Durandal/Durindana]] is being carried as well, and Mandricardio has been summoned, who is capable of using the sword to its fullest if he is deemed worthy.

* DramaPreservingHandicap: While currently unknown, it would appear Nightingale and likely the other Servants won't be able to use their full power including Noble Phantasms for long due to what happened to them.
** Downplayed in the case of Mandricardio, who has been rendered intangible due to some quirk in his summoning, and therefore can't fight, when he's normally an amazing combat Servant.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: While most remains of the old world including Chaldea are lost, there ''are'' remains out there. Which means if one is lucky enough, they can find things as Jacques himself ''knows'' of the old world to an extent including Chaldea, the Servants, and even some of their adventures. This implies that other characters beyond Ozpin's circle knows of the old world.
** Robin Hood and Ozpin's conversation is rife with this, among those seen so far, Ren's Semblence, Weiss' Summoning Semblence, Ozpin's association with Yang and Ruby's parents and of course, anything involving [[BigBad Salem]].
** Another example is Ironwood and the Saint Quartz, of the six he keeps, one has been used, three have been locked in his office, but two were given to Pietro Poledina for the M374 project. Reading into [[AllInTheManual the setting]] you'll find that this number is significant. It's Penny's project designation.

* Chekhov'sArmory: The arsenal of weaponry Cu Chulainn is carrying seems to be this.

** The [[WeaponofX-Slaying Gram]] dagger is another probable example, being a piece of the Demonic sword Gram, which is used by a Dragon Slayer... now what was the creature that destroyed Beacon in the show again?

* MirrorMatch: The Servants often had to fight evil versions of themselves.

* SpiritAdvisor: Given he can't really do much as he is intangible and only Weiss can see and hear him, Mandricardo has become this to her. Thanks to his influence, Weiss is better at holding her temper and introduces herself to Ruby and Jaune instead of walking away.

* AdaptationalBadass: Faunus were made in Arjuna Alter's image, so they have the potential to develop magical abilities, though this is rare and most hide them as their Semblance.

* ExtremelyShortTimespan: By the author's own admission, most of the current chapters (7 out of 8 as of this writing) have taken place over the course of a single day, which also happens to be the exact same day that Ruby ends up being admitted, which means Episode 1 of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' isn't even over yet.

* ''The Pledge'': Beast VII and her followers invade Chaldea and slaughter everyone. In desperation, Berserker Arjuna Alter makes a wish on the 19 Holy Grails they collected, warping the only other, heavily injured survivors: the Master Gudao, Berserker Florence Nightingale, Archer Robin Hood, Caster Avicebron, and Caster Hans Christian Anderson to Remnant. Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch pick them up and Ozpin informs Nightingale, the only one still conscious at that point, that they are in the far future of Earth. Arjuna's wish erased Beast VII and remade what was left of the world, which eventually developed into Remnant.

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: While not said, the way Nightingale describes how some of the Servants and humans like Mash and Director Goredolf went out sounded awesome. The latter having taken out ''five'' Servants including an Alter of ''Cu'' himself. Captain Nemo reveals that Goredolf made it to the Throne of Heroes.

* IWillWaitForYou: Captain Nemo says Gilgamesh holds on to hope that he will be summoned and meet Gudao again.

* LostLanguage: Aside from amazingly, English, so far every other language is long gone by the time the world is re-made. Hans himself then lamenting that since Romani and Gudao wrote only in Japanese, then most people won't even be able to understand the journals.

** Robin Hood sees how a few students of Remnant remind him of other Servants like Jaune and Jeanne alongside Pyrrha and Achilles.

* {{Determinator}}: According to Mandricardo, being on the damaged Throne of Heroes meant one had to have determination and will. However, while everyone originally had this thought, one has to have it ''constantly''. A single falter is all it takes before the Servant is removed from the Throne for good. Thus why only a few are left.
** An even bigger, offscreen example occurs from Gilgamesh, who according to Mandricardio, is holding the Throne of Heroes together on "his own Ego, determination and willpower."

* IHatePastMe: Van Gogh, aka, Clytie, admits plunging herself into the Imaginary Sea was stupid where Nemo tells her had he ''not'' been there, she'd be trapped for eternity.

* TearsOfJoy: Nightingale cries while thanking Arjuna Alter when she realizes what his wish did.
** Van Gogh also experiences these when Captain Nemo and Benienmma come to rescue her from the Imaginary Numbers Sea.

* {{Determinator}}: According to [[spoiler: Mandricardo]], being on the damage Throne meant one had to have determination and will. However, while everyone originally had this thought, one has to have it ''constantly''. A single falter is all it takes before the Servant is removed from the Throne for good. Thus why only a few are left.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: While most remains of the old world including Chaldea are lost, there ''are'' remains out there. Which means if one is lucky enough, they can find things as Jacques himself ''knows'' of the old world to an extent including [[spoiler: Chaldea, the Servants, and even some of their adventurers]]. This implies that other characters beyond Ozpin's circle knows of the old world.

* InconvenientSummons: When [[spoiler: Mandricardo]] is summoned by Weiss, he sees what Jacques really is. And while tame compared to others, tries to scare him off which works...to bad that whatever Jacques did with the summoning circle, has made the Servant transparent like and unable to physically touch anybody, let aside attack. The business man using this to his advantage and robbing him of all the info he wants.

* LaughingMad: Jaquess has this when he has [[spoiler: Mandricardo]] give him ''all'' the necessary information he personally wants. ''Including'' the location of the original [[spoiler: Chaldea]].

* YouRemindMeOfX: Robin Hood sees how a few students of Remnant remind him of other Servants like Jaune and Jeanne alongside Pyrrha and Achilles.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: While most remains of the old world including Chaldea are lost, there ''are'' remains out there. Which means if one is lucky enough, they can find things as Jacques himself ''knows'' of the old world to an extent. Implying other characters beyond Ozpin's circle knows of Chaldea.

* PowerCrystal: The crate has several pieces of Saint Quartz. Ironwood gives a few to Pietro Polendina for analysis as they seem to be more powerful than Dust. Jacques Schnee purchases one and surprisingly knows how they work, having acquired a book with the summoning spell. He forces Weiss to use the Saint Quartz to summon a Servant; she gets Mandricardo.

* SecretKeeper: While Ironwood reluctantly gives back the stuff he found belonging to Chaldea on Nightingale's request, he secretly keeps six Quartz. Three for him, two for Pietro, and one for Jaquess. The former two using it when they feel the time comes with the latter for Weiss.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Downplayed. Even when Gudao is injured and unconscious, Ozpin can sense that he has far more magical energy in his body. Though to be fair, Ozpin has lost most of his magic by that point while it is implied Gudao only ''has'' this much magic because of [[spoiler: Avalon]] in him.

* AfterTheEnd: [[spoiler: Accordint to Nemu, during the battle the Poisiden Son part of him gathered Servants and took to what is implied the Reverse Side to either save them or later strike back against the Alien God. After the world was remade, the Throne of Heroes became ''severely'' limited and after numerous years only a select few are now on it such as Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Okita Alter, Mash, Jason, Voyager and a few tiny others compared to the original amount the Throne had and only by determination they stayed. Abigail herself grabbed the other Foreigners who were willing to do something and Nemu states Van Goth/Cylide wasn't on the Throne as she was alive and how he knew she was alive.]]

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: A given since the survivors are in the distant future.

* IHatePastMe: Van Gogh, aka, Cylide, admits plunging herself into the Imaginary Sea was stupid where Nemu tells her had he ''not'' been there, she'd be trapped for eternity.

* LastOfHisKind: Poseidon's Son states he is the last of his kind, but was able to use that to his advantage as he could leave the Throne whenever. Something Nemu begged him to use to save Van Gogh.

* RealityEnsures: When Ozpin tells Robin Hood of his secret war, he assumes Chaldea will be able to instantly kill her and win quickly. Robin Hood sadly laments that only one Servant could actually kill her and he's gone. Not to mention that while they might be powerful Servants, they still need rest. And Robin Hood admits since they know nothing of Salem and her forces let aside much of the new world, they need time to actually deal with her.
* RemindMeOfX: Robin Hood sees how a few students of Remnant remind him of other Servants like Jaune and Jeanne alongside Pyrrha and Archilles.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Downplayed. Even when Gudao is injured and unconscious, Ozpin can sense that he has far more magical energy in his body. Though to be fair, Ozpin has lost most of his magic by that point while it is implied Gudao has this much magic because of [[spoiler: Avalon]] in him.

* PlotIrrelevantVillain: Ozpin thinks this a bit as according to legends, Fujimaru and his Servants have defeated ''far greater'' foes than Salem. Thinking that compared to what they face, Salem may not even be a problem in the long run.

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: While not said, the way Nightingale describes how some of the Servants and humans like Mash and Director Goredolf went out sounded awesome. The latter having taken out ''five'' Servants including an Alter of ''Cu'' himself.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Downplayed. Even when Gudao is injured and unconscious, Ozpin can sense that he has far more magical energy in his body. Though to be fair, Ozpin has lost most of his magic by that point while its implied Gudao has this much magic because of [[spoiler: Avolon]] in him.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Even when Gudao is injured and unconscious, Ozpin can sense that he has far more magical energy in his body.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Supposedly Gudao Fujimaru is no longer 'human' as stated by Nightingale.

* NotQuiteDead: Nightingale thought everybody in Chaldea was dead. Cu Chulainn [[DefiantToTheEnd proves]] otherwise, refusing to die and landing in Menagerie. He even rises from a grave in a shout-out to ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm''.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Supposedly Gudao Fujimaru is no longer 'human' as stated by Nightingale.th

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Supposedly Gudao Fujimaru is no longer 'human' as stated by Nightingale.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: Ozpin internally thinks that anything Remnant has, Chaldea had better. From unique technology to even greater warriors. While admittingly skeptic at first though considering these are legends he only heard, Ozpin and his allies Glynda and James instantly believe when Nightingale uses her Noble Phantasm.
