Coeur Al'Aran

***The Beacon Civil War (TBCW)*** is the 16th literary work by Coeur Al'Aran in syndication for 13 chapters from September 2, 2017 to February 24, 2018. The work depicts a "war of the sexes" from the perspective of Jaune Arc as a wartime journal written by Jaune with further details, annotations, and commentary provided by the author of "The Beacon Civil War", Lie Ren.

## Background

According to Coeur, the idea for the fictional work originated in 2015 while *The Writer Games* and *Professor Arc* were still being written, with inspiration derived from Ciaphas Cain in attempting to emulate its writing style and PUBG for certain "gamey" aspects.

 The piece he is referring to is likely "Ren: Beacon Civil War" from chapter 26.

## Synopsis

*For details on the war itself, See Beacon Civil War (TBCW)*

After the declaration of a "war game" by Professor Ozpin shortly before the Vytal Festival, the entirety of Beacon Academy is split into two factions of the men and women, consisting of students from Beacon, Haven, Shade, and Atlas Academy as they struggle for territory, resources, and victory of 2,500 Lien per person to furnish their dormitory. It is up to the sole leadership of one Jaune Arc to lead mankind to victory against the outnumbering and outclassing female faction.

## Quotes

> "*War comes without warning. Without mercy. I hope you'll never have to face it, but if you do - a word of advice. All you need is a little confidence, that and- oh wait, I think your mother's calling me.*"

## Literary Devices

*Allusion*

*Dramatic Irony*

In spite of Jaune's insistence on the opposite both through textual and dialogue-based resources, the other men see him as a quality figure to lead them in outmaneuvering the female faction.
