2	-->--Alcatraz's thoughts on Aura in action
3
4	After beating back the Ceph in New York, Alcatraz blacks out and finds himself in a crater in Remnant, where he is found by (in his own words) "Little Red Riding Reaper and the Terminator's awkward teenage daughter". With no way to get back, Alcatraz has to come to terms that this new land is very different from his old one.

8	----
9	!!This fic contains examples of the following tropes:
10	* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Alcatraz makes one out of a Ceph blade when he realizes he has no useful close quarters weapon.
11	* AppliedPhlebotinum: Dust as per ''[=RWBY=]'' canon. It allows for designs and engineering feats that simply aren't possible on Earth. [[spoiler:Alcatraz has lightning dust implanted into his suit which gives it enough power to last for years.]]
12	* ArtificialIntelligence: SECOND and Penny. On several occasions, they even directly communicate.
13	* BigBrotherInstinct: Alcatraz has this towards Ruby, who reminds him of his little sister, and, to a lesser degree, the rest of team RWBY.
14	* BodyguardingABadass: After a sniper attempt on Weiss' life, her father hires Alcatraz to guard her. Who is more badass is up for debate.
15	* BodyHorror: Alcatraz's nanosuit isn't pleasant to look at, and multiple times people are disturbed to see Alcatraz's "blood" get sucked back into his body.
16	* BoringButPractical: Rather than go with the transforming weapons on Remnant, Alcatraz just uses his Majestic, a reclaimed Ceph blade, and a Gauss rifle.
17	* CutenessProximity: Despite being a hardened warrior from a hellish world located in another universe, Alcatraz has zero defense against Ruby's adorable puppy dog eyes. He caves like a bitch whenever she breaks them out.
18	* DamselInDistress: Discussed. Weiss's father is distinctly unimpressed by Weiss's performance [[spoiler: when the White Fang kidnaps her and the rest of Team RWBY out of their room at Beacon and tries to have them publically executed, forcing Alcatraz to stage a rescue mission.]] Alcatraz retorts rather frigidly that there's not a lot of people who ''wouldn't'' be caught off-guard by [[spoiler:having a canister of knock-out gas shot into their room in the middle of the night.]]
19	* DeadpanSnarker: Alcatraz sees plenty of snark bait in Remnant ranging from the names to the power of Aura.
20	* DramaPreservingHandicap: [[spoiler:WordOfGod states that Alcatraz will ''not'' be able to unlock or use Aura for himself. So stop asking.]]
21	* GoodParents: Dr. Polendina, whose response to suddenly realizing that he had just created a new life form and having it ask if he's its father was to say yes.
22	* KiManipulation: Aura, as per ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' standard. Alcatraz frequently curses it as bullshit soul magic.
23	* NormalFishInATinyPond: Inverted. On ''Crysis'' Earth, Alcatraz was the most powerful soldier Mankind had. On Remnant, even basic Grimm mooks and {{Squishy Wizard}}s like Velvet give him a run for his money.
24	** Not entirely. He's still vastly more powerful than any normal human and many of the low tier Aura users. [[spoiler:He was even able to off an Ursa in melee and kills Beowulfs by the dozens. Mostly only some named characters are able to match or surpass him.]]
25	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
26	** Ozpin, while initially skeptical of Alcatraz's story, accepts it once Al gives him proof and offers him a place to stay.
27	** Ironwood, much to Alcatraz's surprise, isn't like the military generals from Earth and actually listens to Al's advice on the Ceph bodies that have been recovered.
28	* PublicExecution: [[spoiler:The White Fang capture and attempt to do this to team [=RWBY=] on live television. Fortunately, Alcatraz rescues them.]]
29	* RunningGag: Bullshit soul magic.
30	* StealthExpert: While Alcatraz can't compete with the Remnant natives in a straight fight, he is an infiltration expert [[spoiler:capable of sneaking into a White Fang rally.]]
31	* TrappedInAnotherWorld: The premise of the fic.
32	* {{Troll}}: Alcatraz has a ''unique'' sense of humor. Even more so in the omakes.
33	* WeakButSkilled: Alcatraz in comparison to the citizens of Remnant. Because he lacks Aura he is very squishy and can't fight people one-on-one. However, he is an expert at covert ops due to his training as a Marine.
34	* WhatTheHellAreYou: Alcatraz has this reaction to Blake, noting that she has a different [=DNA=] structure than humans.
35	* WhatTheHellHero: Ruby's reaction to Alcatraz [[spoiler:killing every White Fang member [[IDidWhatIHadToDo he came across]] while sneaking in to rescue team RWBY from being executed]], especially since he didn't even ''try'' to spare any of them. While Alcatraz tells her that [[IDidWhatIHadToDo he did what was necessary]], as just [[TapOnTheHead knocking them out]] wouldn't guarantee that they wouldn't wake up and raise the alarm, and that [[spoiler: everyone he killed deserved to die for kidnapping teenagers, he actually starts to question himself, wondering if he ''could'' have done a low-casualty mission, and wonders how much of his actions were him and how much was what SECOND wanted him to do]].
36	** While the two of them agreed to work together to hunt down [[spoiler:Adam]], Alcatraz doesn't really like Qrow, especially when he treats Penny as if she is [[JustAMachine just another Atlas robot]], pointing out that that ''he'' is more robot than human at this point.
