In the context of *Forged Destiny*, **Jaune Arc** is a blacksmith who attempts to take control of his destiny by becoming a knight instead. Unlike other works by Coeur Al'Aran, *Forged Destiny* is entirely described from Jaune's perspective, so there is a substantial bias for his interpretation of events. The work features Jaune and crew going on adventures, leveling up, and fighting major antagonists such as Salem while also dealing with interpersonal drama. The following page is periodized based on the list of book titles from TV Tropes.

## *Forged Destiny* from Jaune's Perspective

### Book 1 - Becoming A Hero

Jaune desired to become a "Hero", and pondered the philosophical requirements to be one. As Jaune made his considerations, he checked his statistics, and noted that the distribution did not align with conventional Heros, rather they aligned more with Blacksmiths or Shopkeeper Classes.

Jaune visited the city of Vale, concerned about whether he would have a chance with the number of people applying to Beacon Academy, and encountered Ruby Rose, a member of the Reaper class. After Ruby left to find her sister, Jaune continued on and found his first Quest, determining he would be best suited as a tank while letting others conduct damage. Jaune went off to find a Healer or Mage class, and eventually discovered Weiss Schnee, who rejected his offer to form a team. Jaune also discovered Pyrrha Nikos, from the Champion class.

Later on, Jaune was attacking the local Grimm, particularly the "Canis." Jaune engaged in an epic battle, eventually killing the first Canis. He was eventually ambushed by multiple other Canis. Jaune eventually realized that the Canis had higher Agility, but lower dexterity, and used this advantage to dispatch Canis by baiting them in and dispatching them. As Jaune continued on, he practiced skipping rocks, reflecting on his family life. Jaune observed a Grimm spawn in a pond, realizing it was a Beowolf, but tried to relax since it was not an "Elder Grimm." Jaune soon encountered a mysterious black figure, who told him to run from the scene, and died from being impaled. Jaune made a seeming last standagainst the Beowolf, but fortunately, Pyrrha came to the rescue and decided to ehlp him fight it. Jaune also encountered Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren, part of the Barbarian and Monk classes, respectively. After killing the Beowolf, the group decided to be friends. Jaune also realized the mystery woman killed earlier was part of the Assassin class, but did not catch her name. Following the first Quest, the Warlock proclaimed all who passed were admitted into the Beacon Academy for Heroes. Jaune also encountered Ruby again, who introduced him to her sister, Yang Xiao Long from the Brawler class. The group eventually dispelled to sleep, as Jaune enthusiastically awaited the next day.
