**Jaune Arthur Pendragon Arc** was a Valean huntsman and a member of both the Arc and Pendragon Families. He was the version of Jaune from Farran Emiya's original timeline.

In this timeline, Chaldea was completely destroyed and Salem had virtually won the war. Jaune was one of the few surviving members and he mostly traveled Remnant attempting to help where he would. Jaune would sacrifice his life to ensure that Shirou could make it to the past.

## Biography

### Early Life

Jaune's life was identical to that of the prime Jaune until the battle for the Holy Grail.

## Personality

Jaune is a generally kind, altruistic, friendly, and extroverted though he also is a bit of a bumbler, can be quite awkward at times, and can appear somewhat goofy. Jaune is loyal to his friends to a fault and often tries to act exceptionally confident. Jaune is often compared to a golden retriever and is considered endearingly dorky.

Jaune can be rather charismatic, though he also has a habit of putting his foot in his mouth by saying something weird or otherwise awkward. According to his friends he is naturally charming and exudes charisma without trying, however, the moment he does start trying everything falls apart and he has really no one to blame but himself. Despite his awkward nature he never had trouble making friends and is always eager to make more.

Jaune is not easily embarrassed about most things and will willingly put himself into embarrassing or awkward situations for the sake of his friends. Jaune has a good sense of humor and will roll with the punches when a joke is at his expense. Jaune privately jokes that he might be the universe's punching bag, though he takes it all in stride. Jaune is also rather accident prone, which combined with his luck and uncanny ability at attracting trouble often leads to bizarre scenarios.

Jaune is idealistic and tries to see the best in everyone. Despite this, he knows that not everyone can be saved and believes that some people are so far gone in evil that there may not be a point in trying to reach them. Jaune will still make an attempt (or several attempts) to get someone to repent, but after so many failed attempts he will default to doing his best to protect others. It could be said that Jaune sees morality not in black and white, but rather a grayscale.

Jaune is intensely protective of others and especially toward his friends and family. Jaune is the type of person to disregard his own needs in order to cater to the needs of others, even strangers. Even if someone does not appreciate his assistance he would still offer it because it is simply his nature to help others. Jaune will even go as far as to save criminals or general "bad guys" because it is simply the right thing to do. Jaune's semblance can be seen as an extension of this, he will use his own aura to protect and bolster that of others sacrificing his own to do so. This attitude originally caused Jaune to have a habit of neglecting himself in favor others to the point of being self-destructive, however his many friends, family members, and mentors have tried to drive this out of his head to some success. A more comical extension of his protectiveness is towards his sisters and later his children. Whenever his sisters or children expressed interest in dating, or someone expressed interest in them, Jaune's protectiveness would ramp up increasingly. Jaune's family (either his sisters, mother, or later his wives) often had to reign him in.

Jaune is generally a smart person, though he was moments that make him seem somewhat dumb. Jaune is admittedly not the greatest student, and Merlina often had to keep stringent watch over him to make sure that he was following along. By the time he reached Beacon, he was getting better on that front but was not at the level of some of his friends. He is also not the most book smart person which he readily admits and his street smarts aren't the greatest either (though they both developed as he got older). Despite this he is quite creative and is a good critical thinker, which often lends itself to his talents in strategy and tactics. Whenever someone called Jaune dumb, Jaune would often give a furious defense of himself which was often undercut by something proving the other person right (usually him either saying or doing something foolish). Jaune has a tendency to overthink things. He comes up with several plans for operations (to the point that he jokes that he doesn't labels plans using the alphabet because that implies that he only has 26 plans) which often causes him to overlook the obvious solution. If Jaune were to ever run out of plans, he generally comes up with something on the spot to buy time for a proper plan to be made. Qrow says that he is really good as "bullshitting" and "pulling shit out of his ass". Much like Jeanne, Jaune has a distaste for math and the logistical parts of leadership are something he isn't very fond of.

Jaune has a lot of "geeky" or "nerdy" hobbies like playing video games or reading comic books. He is shown to be a fan of Anime, though he denies being an otaku or weeaboo. Jaune maintained these interests for practically his whole life. Jaune is also shown to be a big fan of swords and medieval history, especially story about knights. A large part of this is because many of his ancestors were knights and a lot of famous stories of Valean knights were about them. Jaune grew up reading chivalric romances and other such stories which helped developed his sense of justice and ideals.

Jaune is a firm believer that legality does not equal morality and is extremely willing to break the law if he thinks that it would be the right thing to do. While Jaune is generally bound by the rules of Chivalry, he is willing to bend or even break them if need be. While Jaune despises killing, he is willing to do so if there is no other choice. As a general rule, he attempts to talks things out first or if he needs to resort to violence he will attempt to capture or injure before considering killing. If Jaune is forced to kill then he will choose the quickest and most merciful option that he can. He is willing to work with criminals provided they haven't done anything that is too objectionable.

Jaune prefers and tends to stick to more honorable forms of conflict as he had been taught. At the same time as he grew older, he has shown a willingness to use more pragmatic methods if he truly has to. He finds those methods to be distasteful, but if he needs to be dishonorable to save someone then it is worth it in his eyes.

Jaune valued equality, liberty, and fraternity and is shown to despise prejudice in any form. He has a strong moral character and a strong will to back it up. He is respectful towards others by default and tries his best to be polite no matter a person's differences toward him. Generally the only people he tends to insult are those who are beyond redemption, not counting playful insults towards his friends as banter. Despite his politeness, he does have a sarcastic streak especially with those that he is close to. The best example is that he often trades barbs with Qrow, his sisters, and Astolfo, though it almost always in jest.

After the Fall of Beacon and Pyrrha's death, Jaune went into a period of depression as well as developing both a guilt complex and a martyr complex. Jaune was also consumed in vengeance and anger and became more cynical and blunt. Jaune put up a mask of being his old self, but was often still hurt. Jaune blamed himself for Pyrrha's death and showed signs of wanting to distance himself from his friends and family so that they were less likely to get hurt. Jaune's attempts to do this were very quickly thwarted and an intervention helped him realize that it was okay to rely on his friends. Jaune began working through these problems with his friends help. While it took time to move passed it, Jaune eventually came to terms with himself.

After his recovery, Jaune returned to form however his personality did slightly shift. Jaune was slightly more cynical and blunt, being a bit snippier and snarkier. While never to the point that he could be considered rude or belligerent, there was a noticeable change.

Jaune would have little trouble with being seen as "feminine". While not his preference (he solidly identifies as a male), he has no problems with wearing a dress or other stereotypically feminine clothes and when he was once derisively called a house-husband, he took the title as a source of pride in showing his dedication to his family. He apparently has some bad memories of cross-dressing because of his sisters making him a human dress-up doll, but is fine with it if it is his choice. Jaune cares little for traditional gender roles and standards.

While Jaune is royalty and has lots of experience with the upper crust and most prestigious and formal people in the world, it is clear that he it is not something that he personally enjoys. If given the choice between the greatest party of the Atlesian elite or going on a Grimm hunt in the wilds of Anima, he would pick Grimm hunting every time. Jaune seems more like a farm boy than a prince, but he can switch to a formal and elegant way of life on a dime if need be.

Jaune rarely swears, almost only when he is frustrated, enraged or occasionally for a joke or to needle someone. Jaune usually lets people swear without paying them any mind. Jaune tends to swear more around Qrow. Jaune also doesn't like smoking, but is okay with drinking in moderation. Jaune apparently has a crazy amount of alcohol tolerance, to the point that casually drinking doesn't have much of a point to him because it will take a lot to get him drunk. The few times he has actually gotten drunk he would usually get involved in something crazy or stupid. At one point Jaune got drunk in Vale and when he woke up he had somehow crashed an Atlesian bullhead in Menagerie and was in a cave covered in Grimm essence, no one was sure how he got there or what happened.

When it comes to love and sexuality, Jaune's views can be seen as somewhat old fashioned. Jaune tends to put his partner above himself to the point that he would want to give everything and not take anything in return. Jaune's views seemed to be shaped by his parents' marriage, the marriages of his two older sisters, and the story books he used to read as a child. Jaune is bisexual, though he has a preference for women. While Jaune has urges like most people, they do not drive him and he has him completely under control. When it comes to attraction, romantic attraction is superior in his eyes. Jaune is somewhat chaste, in that he never lets his desires consumes him and he always seeks an emotional connection first even if he is attracted to someone. Any perversions he might have are drowned out by his respect for others and focus on love. At the same time, according to his various partners Jaune is a generous lover.

When discussing sexuality, Jaune is able to discuss it without any problems. Jaune posits that this is because he has gone through "the talk" about eight times (once for each of his sisters and himself) and so he does have the necessary knowledge to explain what is going on and to understand what to do. Few would call Jaune a prude, with most calling him "innocent" or naïve, though he prefers the term chaste. While Jaune does have technical knowledge (having seven sisters which lead to some accidental situations, lack of privacy, and two parents in a very "happy and loving" relationship) and jokes that he is desensitized to nudity and sexual matters because of his family, most innuendo goes over his head. Unless something is so explicit that there is no way to misinterpret it, Jaune would probably miss all double entendre and instead take the least suggestive meaning of the words. While his friends initially thought he had to have been playing it up, it's apparent that his head really is that far out of the gutter that it just doesn't register to him as a possibility. Once he does realize he tends to get very flustered. Jaune does not judge others for their tastes and he respects opinions of others on the matter. As long is no one is hurt by what they are doing it is not his business to know or judge.

Additionally, Jaune can be someone what thickheaded and clueless when it came to recognizing when others were attracted to him, mostly when he was younger. Jaune is described as being incredibly dense, as he is was generally unable to tell whenever someone was interested in him. Many people have shown to be attracted to him, but Jaune never notices.

When looking for partners, Jaune typically looked for a person's personality over their appearance (though he did consider a person's appearance to be a bonus and was a self-described "thigh guy"). Jaune's attempts at courting are often cliché or old fashioned and depending on the person can be either endearingly dorky or somewhat cringey. Jaune can not flirt to save his life and his attempts to be charming have the opposite effect. Ironically enough, when Jaune stops attempting to seem charming he actually becomes charming and attractive, in the eyes of certain people. Jaune attracts a lot of attention from people of all genders, but unless someone actively and unambiguously shows that they have feelings for him he will never notice. Jaune has been described as being "denser than a black hole" and as having "a skull so thick that a brick would break against it and he would be fine". As an adult, Jaune would take any opportunity to gush about his wives or his children. Some people find this habit to be annoying, though others find his love of his family to be admirable.

Jaune is a devoted husband and loves his wives with all his heart. Jaune is a loving father and cares for his children deeply. He tries his best to be the father his children deserve and it seems that he succeeded. His children adore him even as adults as much as they might hate to show it. He also desperately wants to be a cool dad, in addition to being a good one. While some of his kids think he's cool, a lot of them simply say that dads can't be cool which is like an arrow to his heart. He supports his children in all their pursuits without question and encourages them to do what makes them happy. Jaune is very good with children, often taking on an attitude of an older brother or sometimes even a father when interacting with young children.

Jaune's personality is apparently very similar to that of Arthur Pendragon when he was younger, at least according to Ozma who actually was Arthur's closest advisor, Myrddin Wyllt.

Jaune is a very big eater, something that many members of his family share. Unlike most of his sisters however, Jaune is an amazing cook who learned from his father and grandmother (his mother's attempts to teach him were not very successful, owing to her own lack of skill). Jaune can cook cook a good meal even with limited supplies or from gathering stuff in the wild, but it won’t be as good as in the kitchen. Mostly knows Valean and Atlesian dishes. He and Ren share the duties of cooking for the team. He is also a pretty good baker, but not as good as Ruby. Jaune, Ren, and Shirou often have cooking competitions to see who is the best cook out of the three of them.

As an adult, Jaune is said to embody the very spirit of the classical prince charming and knight and shining armor. Jaune is a truly virtuous and heroic man who stands above and beyond the standard of heroism even in an age as proliferated with people of similar standing and bearing.

## Appearance

Jaune looked like a significantly older version of the prime Jaune. He was a tall male with golden blond hair, dark blue eyes, and fair skin. Jaune grew his hair long and it was very messy, he still had his ahoge. He wore his hair in a ponytail that was bound in a red fable, his ponytail reached to his upper back. Additionally, a combination of stress and age caused him to gain several white streaks in his hair. He also grew a beard, though he did not have a proper mustache. Age did little to take away from his good looks and he appeared to be more ruggedly handsome than he had been before.

In terms of clothing, Jaune wore a black tunic with brown, steel-toe boots that reached his knees. Over all of this, Jaune wore armor. Jaune's armor consisted of a full cuirass, spaulders, couters, gauntlets, black gloves with gold-colored metal armor plates over his fingers, tassets, poleyns, and greaves. Jaune's armor was rusted and worn-out as he was constantly moving and working, leaving him with few chances to properly maintain his equipment.
