Ruby Rose (Dragon Ball Z)

	“	I tried to he perfect as well, bottled up my emotions and trauma and the crushing weight of being a leader to save the world when everyone looked to me for guidance, me never worrying about myself without screwing up everything, me forcing the group stay positive. I felt like my burdens were too heavy for me to bear anymore and I briefly considered starting over with Ascension to abandon my problems, kinda like what you are doing right now with being majin, but that wouldn't solve anything and it would be me living a lie, instead I accepted myself as enough and came back stronger then ever before	„
		~ Ruby to Majin Vegeta

Summary

Ruby Rose is the 22 to 35-year old leader of Team RWBY who attended Beacon Academy two years early, due to her abilities impressing the headmaster. Trained by her Uncle Qrow, Ruby wields a unique weapon named Crescent Rose, a cross between a scythe and a high-caliber sniper rifle that is able to fold up into itself. Her semblance is speed, enabling her to run at rates that are too fast for the eye to catch. As she is the youngest of the group, she can be a bit childish, naive, and weapon-obsessed, but displays leadership qualities and an understanding of people that ultimately led her to be chosen as Team RWBY's leader. She was inspired to become a Huntress by the fairy tales her half-sister Yang read her, wanting to become just like the heroes in the stories. She is determined to make the world a better place for others and try to stop the forces that conspire against it.

When she was younger, she can fight hordes of Grimm for a day straight before tiring and can fight on and off for two days straight with minimal rest, as well as being comparable to the likes of Clover, Winter, Yang, Weiss, Blake, and Adam, who can continue fighting even after their Aura reserve has been drained.)

Universal with Teleportation (Traveled from The Sacred World of the Kai's and to Remnant)

Standard Equipment: Crescent Rose, Dust Ammunition

• Optional Equipment: Senzu Beans

Intelligence: Gifted, Genius regarding combat and weapons (Ruby is extremely knowledgeable regarding weapons, having designed and built Crescent Rose from scratch during her time at Signal Academy, and being able to name every individual part of her weapon. She is capable of analyzing a weapon she's never seen before down to the function and the material it's made of just by looking at it once, even when suffering from severe stage fright. She also possesses superb combat prowess, having received training from her uncle Qrow. She is capable of taking on entire hordes of Grimm on her own and walking away without a scratch and utilizing the different functionalities of the Crescent Rose, such as the massive recoil from the rifle aspect of the weapon and the weapon's transformative capabilities, in tandem with each other and her Semblance in order to maintain an edge over her opponent. Ozpin himself has stated that it would take someone with skill comparable to that of Qrow in order to wield Crescent Rose to its fullest efficiency. Is able to not only learn how to use Ki during a short semester break, but becoming skilled enough with it to mimic the attacks of others using Ki after seeing them only once, such as Penny's sword beams and Jaune's ki disks, and her skill with Ki is such that it even impressed the likes of Pyrrha, Qrow, and even Tyrian during their fights. Ruby also received additional hand to hand combat training from Bann and Ozpin, enough that she and her team defeated the likes of the Ace Ops with ease, with the Ace Ops begrudgingly admitting that they had been going all out during their fight. In the 5 years between the fall of Atlas and Z, Ruby has trained with Korin, Mr. Popo, Kami, and Bann to further hone her Ki and martial skill, and after an additional year of training she helped Bann and Penny fight off Vegeta despite him being stronger than them separately, even devising a plan to counteract Vegeta and Raditz' Great Ape forms utilizing everyone's semblances to their advantage in order to cut off their tails. She and her teamwork was seen as enough of a threat by Frieza that he was forced to go into his third form despite only at max being as strong as his first from, and after getting killed by Freiza in his final form she ran snake way with Piccolo and trained under King Kai, learning the Kaioken, Spirit Bomb, and Fusion Dance in just 2 months, as well as sparring with Pyrrha, who had been training with the best fighters of the afterlife. Ruby continued training in the 10 years after her revival, becoming powerful enough and skilled enough that Shin saw Ruby as a strong ally to help stop Buu's revival just by seeing her son fight against Lime, as well as matching Dabora in combat and completely outmatching him immediately upon using Kaioken x50. She was skilled enough to fight on par in skill against majin vegeta despite them being on par in power and speed. She then trained with the Z-Sword for a day under the Kais, with Elder Kai then unlocking her potential to give her the power to beat Buu, who had already absorbed quart, piccolo with both Elder Kai and Shin agreeing that her skill and power post-potential unlocking would be sufficient to defeat Buu.)

Weaknesses: Continual damage to her Aura will cause it to decay to the point where she can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack she takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain aura by a small amount and without aura they cannot be used until the user's aura is recharged. Kaio-ken strains her body, causing her intense pain and exhaustion if she overuses it. her Spirit Bomb requires a long charge-up period, during which time she is vulnerable. She cannot survive in the vacuum of space and needs to locate a ki signature to teleport using her evolved semblance.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Ki: The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in a number of ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts of energy or used to create defensive barriers. Learning how to use ki at an early age, Ruby is now very skilled in its use, and has been called the strongest human on Remment, something that doubtlessly stems from her training under many martial artists and the potential she had unlocked by elder kai.
• Masenko: Gohan's original signature technique from trunks timeline, which Ruby learned from Future Trunks. After placing both of her hands above his head with her palms facing towards her opponents, she fires a powerful blast of ki. By charging it longer, she can also throw it as an explosive sphere of energy.
• Beams and Roses: a move that is inspired by Penny's beam attack she used when she was a Android. Where ruby cups her hands just like the Kamehameha, but she fires it out with her hands more spread apart then a Kamehameha to fire out a massive green beam of ki. She can even fire it out in one hand
• Kienzan: Jaune's signature technique that he made, which Ruby copied from him. Raising her hand above her head, Ruby creates a razor-sharp disc of ki with incredible cutting power, and then throws it at her opponent. It should be noted that the Kienzan can cut through opponents that are several times stronger and more durable.
• Telepathy: Ruby has the ability to telepathically communicate with others, presumably learned from King Kai during her time in the afterlife, and she shows the ability to read Neo's mind by putting her hand to her forehead or talking in her head from a distince.
• Spirit Bomb: Ruby's ultimate attack, taught to her by King Kai, performed by gathering a vast amount of energy from all the lifeforms in her surroundings to create a massive, incredibly destructive sphere of ki. To use it, one must have a pure heart, and so Ruby is a perfect user of the technique due to her obliviously simple soul. While it is incredibly powerful and can prove capable of completely destroying an opponent when used with sufficient power, it takes a very long time to charge and is therefore very difficult to use, though the charge time can be sped up by gathering energy from those who willingly and knowingly provide it. It is noted that if Ruby makes even the smallest mistake using it, she could easily destroy Remnent.
• Kaio-ken: A technique developed by King Kai and taught to Ruby during her time training on his planet. It greatly increases Ruby's ki and Aura for just a moment, boosting Her strength and speed and auras durability significantly for that time. However, this heavily strains her body and aura, and if she overuses it, it will leave her in intense pain all over her body, leaving her incapable of moving without causing herself further pain. Currently, the strongest Kaio-ken Ruby can utilize is x50.
• Kiai: The ability to project an invisible burst of force with ki, which Ruby can perform with her hands and even with a glare.
• Fusion Dance: A special dance created on planet Metamor, learnt by Ruby from the inhabitants of said planet. This technique allows to beings to fuse and become a much more powerful entity. To ensure an optimal result, the two must perform all poses correctly, otherwise the fused being will be weak and goofy. The more similar are the height and personality of the two, the better the new being will be, but it will always last only for 30 minutes, with this time limit becoming shorter if the strength of the fusion increases too much.
• Crescent Rose: Ruby's weapon, a large Scythe/High-Caliber Sniper Rifle hybrid that she wields with expert proficiency. The Crescent Rose possesses a converting frame, allowing Ruby to transform from a compact storage mode, a rifle mode, and an expanded scythe mode. The weapon's rifle mode takes the form of a medium-length, bolt-action rifle. In this form, the absence of the scythe makes for more effective use of the rifle component. In its fully expanded scythe mode, Crescent Rose makes for a deadly mid-to-close-range bladed melee weapon. This form also doubles as a long-barrel sniper rifle for long-range shots without giving up the melee capabilities of the scythe. The Crescent Rose's rifle has a massive recoil, but instead of compensating for it, Ruby harnesses it to enhance her mobility in combat, firing shots to propel herself short distances, simultaneously attacking and evading opponents, and using it to launch herself through the air. In melee combat, Ruby can fire a shot immediately before a swing, using the recoil to increase the force and speed of her attack. She can also embed the scythe's blade into the ground to prevent the weapon's recoil from throwing off her aim with the sniper rifle component, allowing for rapid, accurate shots. If needed, the bottom of the shaft can unfold to add more cutting power in a close-range fight while also rotating the barrel of the rifle, enabling the recoil to rotate Ruby instead of launching her forward, increasing the slicing power drastically. After arriving in Atlas, James Ironwood has Pietro Polendina upgrade Crescent Rose, giving Ruby the ability to activate a trigger on the upper handle that will then rotate the scythe's blade 180 degrees, giving her more control and ease of use of the weapon in cramped spaces.
  • Dust Ammunition: Crescent Rose is able to use different kinds of Dust ammunition, as first seen in the "Red" Trailer when she used Gravity Dust after reloading it with the said magazine, and later demonstrated again in RWBY: Grimm Eclipse and Volume 4.
    • Fire Dust: Shoots fire from the muzzle of Crescent Rose.
    • Ice Dust: Allows Ruby to fire ice projectiles from Crescent Rose capable of encasing foes in ice.
    • Gravity Dust: Increases the recoil effect when firing the Crescent Rose, propelling Ruby at increased speeds.
    • Electric Dust: Fires an electric projectile that briefly paralyzes the target. The discharge from this type of round can also create chain lightning which spreads to surrounding targets.
  • Crescendo: Ruby spins her scythe in a circle and damages enemies, pulling enemies closer with each hit and smashing enemies back with the final strike.
  • Reap: Ruby jumps into the air and spins downwards with her scythe, damaging the ground and using the debris as projectiles to damage enemies.

• Semblance: Petal Burst: Ruby's Semblance, an ability which allows her to move at a much greater speed than what she is normally capable of, appearing as nothing but a red blur leaving rose petals in its wake. She is capable of using this ability in midair as a means of flight, using it to repeatedly change directions in mid-air and attack at high speeds, and to create powerful whirlwinds that can suck in and knock away objects and foes caught by it and envelop her enemy in a tornado-like rush of air. She also exhibited the ability to seemingly transform into three separate clusters of rose petals, allowing her to flow around an opponent and their attacks before reforming. It is later revealed by Penny that Ruby's Semblance allows her to disassemble herself at a molecular level and reassemble at a chosen location. With practice, she has proven able to do the same with anyone she is in contact with. This allows her to go around obstacles or through paths that she would not otherwise fit. after getting her potential unlocked it made her Semblance evolve again, she can now teleport herself or others like Instant Transmission.

• Silver Eyes: A mysterious and powerful ability Ruby inherited from her mother, Summer. the Silver Eyes manifests as blindingly bright light emitted from Ruby's eyes. It was revealed that this energy originates from the God of Light, which is able to destroy the creations of the God of Darkness, such as the Grimm. Effects include petrifying them typically, but also sometimes disintegrates them or paralyzes them. as of the start of the saiyan saga she can use this at will even in stressful Situations. its latter revealed in super that she has Latent God Ki because of this.
• Potential Unleashed: The ultimate form that Ruby gains after having her potential unlocked by Old Kai's lengthy ritual, greatly increasing her power by unlocking her extremely high dormant strength. While this state must be maintained by steady, regular training, while Ruby has access to it, she can tap into its power by powering up, Its power eclipses that of her Kaioken multipliers by a significant margin, and in this state, Ruby is often known as Mystic Ruby or Ultimate Ruby.
