Ozpin

<tabber>
|-|Ozpin=
==Summary==
Professor Ozpin is the headmaster of Beacon Academy, first seen in Volume 1 inquiring Ruby Rose about where she learned how to fight, her future goals, and her desire to join his school. He is frequently seen with his cane despite having no visible motor impairment.
Though he appears to just be a headmaster, in secret Ozpin runs a group that consists of several individuals whose goals are protecting the people of Remnant from Salem and her forces. Known members include himself, Glynda Goodwitch, Qrow Branwen, James Ironwood, Leonardo Lionheart, and others.
During the Battle of Beacon, Ozpin was killed by Cinder Fall, the newly ascended Fall Maiden, and Beacon Academy became overrun with Grimm. Months later, a farmhand named Oscar Pine began hearing a voice in his head, eventually turning out to be Ozpin, who explains to the boy that their souls have combined and that they need to leave. Though reluctant, in the end, he heeds his advice, leaving his home with the two making their way to Haven. There, he joins up with Qrow Branwen and others, reclaiming The Long Memory from him, and from there resumes his fight against Salem. 
It is later revealed that he is an incarnation of the ancient warrior Ozma.
|-|King of Vale=
==Summary==
The King of Vale was the ruler of Vale during the Great War, and an incarnation of the ancient warrior Ozma. He was most known for his creation of the Huntsman Academies, institutions that would train Huntsmen and Huntresses to battle the Grimm, and whose allegiance would not be tied to an individual Kingdom. 
Nearly a century before the events of RWBY, the King was involved in a significant conflict that would later be referred to as the Great War, which pitted Vale and Vacuo against Mistral and Mantle. In the years leading up to the war, the King, in an effort to avoid conflict decided to share the small islands on the east coast of Sanus with Mistral's settlers, but his citizens disagreed with this choice. A riot broke out between two bands of settlers and devolved into the first battle of the Great War.
It was finally resolved in Vacuo, when Mistral and Mantle attempted to take the Kingdom's Dust mines to cut off Vale and Vacuo's supply. In the ensuing battle, the King of Vale personally led his army alongside Vacuo's, where he laid waste to countless men, thus earning him the nickname the Warrior King. In the aftermath, the leaders of the four kingdom gathered on the island of Vytal to discuss the future of Remnant. It was here that the King founded the Huntsman Academies, which were designed to train warriors that would solely fight the Grimm. He also placed his most trusted followers in command of each school. In reality, their actual purpose was to safeguard the Relics, which he distributed to each school.
After his death, his next incarnation would be Ozpin, the youngest headmaster of Beacon Academy.RWBY: World of Remnant, Episode 16: The Great War
|-|The Wizard=
==Summary==
The Wizard is a central figure in the fairy tale The Story of the Seasons, and the one who gifted magic to the Maidens. He is an incarnation of the ancient warrior Ozma.
Before the start of the fairy tale, the Wizard had isolated himself in a small, fragile home in the mountains in utter isolation, being so depressed that even the creatures of Grimm avoided him. There, he is visited by four sisters, who each in their own unique ways are kind to him. The first, Winter, encourages him to meditate and reflect; the second, Spring, brings him fruit and flowers and revitalizes his garden; the third, Summer, convinces him to step outside and embrace the world; and the fourth, Fall, urges him to be thankful for what he has. Moved by their kindness, the Wizard gave the four sisters great powers so that they may travel throughout Remnant continuing to share their gifts. The four sisters promise to return and visit him yearly.RWBY: World of Remnant, Episode 8: The Four Maidens
After his death, Ozma's soul eventually reincarnated as the King of Vale.
|-|Ozma=
==Summary==
Ozma was an ancient warrior born during the original age of humanity, where humans lived alongside their creators, the God of Light and God of Darkness, and all could wield magic. One day, Ozma saved a lone woman named Salem, who was locked away in a great tower. After the two escaped together, they fell in love and planned to spend the rest of their lives with each other traveling the world. However, Ozma soon fell ill and succumbed to his sickness. Salem couldn't accept this and sought out the Gods hoping they would undo it. But when she attempted to deceive them after being refused, she was cursed to live eternally as punishment.
Afterwards, Ozma was eventually given a choice by the God of Light before he abandoned Remnant; he would be able to return to the land of the living to act as a guide for humanity and protect the Relics, powerful items that when brought together would summon the Gods back to the world.
To accomplish this task, the God of Light gave him the ability to reincarnate, joining souls with another in a constant cycle of death and rebirth. After returning, Ozma reunited with Salem and the two acted as gods, ruling over the world with a massive following and creating a prosperous kingdom, eventually even starting a family. However, due to their different ideologies in uniting humanity and Salem's increasingly more brutal methods, they eventually turned on each other. Their children were killed in the ensuing battle and Salem murdered Ozma, beginning the long and intense feud between the two.RWBY Volume 6 Episode 3

My power is finite, and if I'm being honest, dwindling. The amount that I gifted to Qrow and Raven was, all things considered, rather minuscule.

Standard Equipment:
<tabber>
Intelligence:
Genius. Ozpin has eons of experience due to his countless reincarnations, which he has used to continually combat the plans of Salem and keep her from acquiring the Relics. He is a capable strategist and leader, having the ability to persuade even volatile personalities to cooperate with his plans. He is also the head of a secret group, consisting of various important individuals such as the headmasters of the Huntsmen Academies, which aid him in his goal of protecting Remnant from Salem. In the event he would die, he had contingency plans that the group would follow, such as holding on to The Long Memory until he would return. Due to his soul being merged with countless others, he has a variety of different viewpoints and expertise gained from them. In one life he created The Long Memory, which is capable of storing kinetic energy that can be released as magical power. He was also in another life the one who raised Atlas in the air using the Relic of Creation. As the Staff can only create something if shown a blueprint or explained, this means that Ozpin had thorough knowledge on infinite energy in order for the Staff to generate it. 
He is highly analytical, able to study his opponent in the middle of battle and best them. In his original life as Ozma, he was one of the best warriors of his time, able to defeat any obstacles in his way and rescue Salem from her imprisonment even as all others failed. This skill only strengthened throughout his reincarnations. As the King of Vale, he personally ended the Great War and was so through that everyone expected him to rule the world, though he denied and instead founded the Huntsmen Academies, which were used as safeguards for the Relics and placed his most trusted followers in charge. Against Cinder Fall, even though she was a Maiden, he was able to hold his own against her for a while and even injure her, though ultimately perished.
Weaknesses: Aura has a cumulative durability and will leave the user open to more significant damage if broken (A user's Aura will deplete with each attack they take and can be brought down by characters of similar strength or even characters significantly weaker than the user given enough time, and constant exposure to extreme temperatures can also drain the user's Aura). The time it takes for him to reincarnate is not combat applicable and can vary anywhere from a few weeks to several decades.

-
Strike Flurry
One of Ozma's signature physical techniques with The Long Memory, a series of rapid, close range jabs dealt with such speed that his movements generate afterimages.
-
Afterimages
Ozma is able to move fast enough to create multiple afterimages simultaneously.
-
Kinetic Blasts
The Long Memory has the ability to store kinetic energy, which can later be used to release immense magical power. This output can be freely controlled, allowing for a small burst enough to break through layers of steel, to a large explosion capable of wiping out an entire storm. This ability was also used to destroy Monstra.

-
Forcefield
Ozma can generate a spherical protective force field around himself for protection. This field gives off violent arcs of energy and is able to temporarily withstand Cinder's use of the Fall Maiden's power as well as a blast of kinetic energy powerful enough to annihilate Monstra. He can also create one using The Long Memory.
-
Magic Blasts
Using his staff, Ozma is able to channel blasts of magic powerful enough to Salem's own magic. He can also fire them from his hands as well.

-
Attack Reflection
Using his staff, Ozma is able to redirect attacks back at the attacker.
-
Magic Bestowal
Ozma is able to bestow others with portions of his magic by splitting his own power, granting them an array of magical abilities at the cost of being unable to use them himself. Thus far he has granted the Maidens their elemental abilities as well as the Branwen twins their ability to shapeshift into birds.

Note: The body Ozpin takes during Volume 4 and onward is that of Oscar Pine.
Note 2: As the appearance of the Wizard's cane is vastly different to The Long Memory, it is unknown if Ozma possessed it during this incarnation. As such, both the abilities of The Long Memory and it's AP are not applicable in the Wizard Key.
