Emerald is a thief.
Thieves are rogues.
Critical Hit Classes are usually rogues and assassins.
Therefore, Emerald can easily perform Critical Hits.
Which would also mean Mercury can, too.
Nah, Mercury would be a kick-based Brawler
if we're going by classes. Though him having the Assassin Prestige Class
makes sense.
... Damn, now I want to do that combo in a game of D&D/Pathfinder

You know, Looking back on the various teams we've met, Ozpin really is quite lousy at picking leaders. Either that or he's doing it on purpose, because honestly, Jaune and Ruby seem like the last logical choice to appoint leaders of their respective teams; Jaune is extremely inexperienced, and clearly incompetent when he's starting out. Ruby just isn't very assertive or ambitious, snd she's also prone to playing lone wolf; none of those qualities tend to mix well with authority.
It's on purpose. Because honestly, of the two team leaders we've seen and been following, they might not have been the best choices, but they grew into their role.
Hell, of teams RWBY and JNPR, the only one who'd be a good choice of leader off the bat is maybe Pyrrha.

Ruby is The Heart of team RWBY and in terms of developing skill/bringing out the team's potential she's the best pick. I think the ability to bring out potential of not just themsevles but the other team members is a qualification for squad leader. Blake and Weiss are total non-choices for that while Yang probably doesn't have as much growth room as Ruby does in development.
Admittedly Pyrhaa would've made a better pick than Jaune for leader, but Jaune not making use of leadership skills would've resulted in him being The Load of the team and pretty useless, so I can understand having him be leader in order to develop that since he's weak otherwise.
They become co-headmasters of the school.

Edit:eh that racism accusation is kind of overblown.

Hyped for Hyperdimension Neptunia V 2Back on the 4chan generals (Before those bastards shut it down) someone theorized that Ozpin usually has the weakest member of the team be the leader, both to give them confidence, and to teach the stronger people some humbleness by having them forced to defer to other people. And it also taught the leaders who tended to be immature, responsibilty. Ruby spent the first day of Beacon screwing around and not focusing on school at all, but she started losing sleep to study harder because she realized it was costing her Weiss's respect. Where as a non leader Ruby probably would have kept goofing off.
This is most obvious with Jaune who was much weaker than everyone else in the school, but Ruby while pretty strong was still possibly the weakest of her team flat out, typically needing rescue if she was alone. Same with Cardin. If you note Pyrrha's fight against his team, he's the worst fighter on his team, where as one of his flunkies actually manages to keep up with her fairly well for awhile. It's not clear how Coco ranks in CFVY, because Fox and Yatsuhashi haven't really gotten to do much, though it seems like Velvet is stronger than Coco, albeit with a flaw of only being able to use a picture copy for a few short time.
Where as the other academy's, tend to make the strongest guy the leader and have them carry the team. Even SSSN seems to be like this, as Scarlet and Sage were pretty useless and Sun's put on a much better showing than Neptune.
Although there's also the darker believe that Ozpin put Ruby as leader to put more stress on her so her eyes would awaken sooner.

so actual racism
Ozpin seen to have a thing for seen peole true potencial, Jaune maybe be weak but he is so far the only one who actually understand people or try his best to get, after all he become close to Phyrra without carrying of her reputation and become friend of Ruby right of out the bat, it also a men who compromise not matter what(after all he go with a dress to the party) Phyrra is to shy,Nora to wacky and Ren to quiet, he manage to get near them and balance out.
Granted is not perfect seen he manage to not see Phyrra feeling but well.
Ruby have a thing: she is the only one who wants to really help people and being a hero, Blake is there to run way, Weiss to being out of his controling father and Yang for the thrill of it, them move forward she is the only one who stand bright and focus while all other run,get back or are left there.
Granted the fact that Ozpin can see so well into the chararter potencial and whatever shady thing he did make cast doubt on him...
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"
Well, there have to be a reason he trust into a cyborg who have ket distance of him, a teacher who dosent seen to understand why Ozpin seen so interest in the teams and drunkest guy of all remanent, if Raven have any interaction with him it could be explain that way: he could see something that other not...
Granted both salem and Cinder seen to twist that, saying he is a manipulative bastard that go into Playing people expectation, so far both are valied
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

His breastplate is in the shape of a heart.
If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.
