Animorphs

***Animorphs*** is a science-fantasy bildungsroman series written by Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant between June 1996 and May 2001. It was one of the main influences behind the modern writing style of Coeur Al'Aran in the late-1990s and early-2000s.

## Literary influence

### Philosophy

Applegate demonstrates the philosophy of nihilism early on through the death of several main characters, showing their lack of significance in the long-run due to inevitable doom. Coeur's greatest demonstration of nihilism for a character was within *Not this Time, Fate.* Although several characters in his frame narratives are more skeptical of life than others, such as Weiss and Blake compared to Ruby and Jaune, it is not a center-point on the grounds of Coeur's interpretation of their character and cannot be considered "nihilistic" in nature.

In spite of this, Coeur has demonstrated nihilism within his author notes, such as general apathy towards American and British politicians blaming problems on convenient scapegoats. This is not enough to say Coeur is a nihilist, but according to Neil Howe and William Strauss, outlooks on life are formed during periods in early childhood and early adulthood, culminating in a 1991 text titled *Generations*.

### Point of View

*Animorphs* follows a first-person perspective that rotates between the main six protagonists.

Coeur often writes from a third-person limited point of view for each character, with the perspective of each character changing across or within chapters

Fleeting Dreams

**"Fleeting Dreams"** was the third FanFiction work that Coeur Al'Aran published under his Cavalyn account for the *Noir* anime. It succeeds *When a Job Goes very wrong* and precedes *War of the Gerudo*. It was published on 2005 May 16.

## Background

Since May 12, Coeur had a recurring dream surrounding the *Noir* anime/manga franchise. He states that he had nightmares about it but believed that writing it would help it leave his mind. He expressed his dismay at publishing the work but decided he would not write a tragedy again by the chapter's end.

## Plot

The chapter opens in a quiet house from the perspective of Kirika Yuumura. Kirika plans to confess romantic love to Mireille Bouquet but fears rejection. However, after shooting three men, Kirika finds that Mireille is dead. This revelation disheartens Kirika, who undergoes a grievous denial, conversing with Mireille's corpse about their first encounters in Japan and promises of mutual defense. Kirika, in her depressive state, kills herself.

## Reception

Immediately after publication, affiliated writers from the Noir community commented that the work was sad and empathized with Coeur having the bad dream for four days. Despite the sadness, the work was generally received positively, though some reviewers remarked that consistent tense would improve the work. On Coeur's comment of never writing tragedy again, sparklef0x comments that Coeur may have another horrible dream to turn into a wonderful tragedy.

Council of Vale

The **Council of Vale** is the component of the Valean government intended to represent public interests. Coeur Al'Aran  has frequently alluded to the Valean council in various literary works, often applying modern government and civics principles.

## Modern Details

Within the context of *Headmaster Arc*, the Council of Vale are elected officials from the "upper echelons" of society. This implies the council is selected through either a direct or indirect democratic process, though it is not currently known whether there are political factions, parties, or coalitions.

According to Jaune Arc, the gender distribution of the Council of Vale was half and half, though there were no council members either below the age of 50 or a Faunus.

게임

게임 문서는 여기로 넘어옵니다. 다른 뜻에 대해서는 게임 (동음이의) 문서를 참조하십시오.
**게임**(Game)은 사전적 의미로는 "놀이, 오락"을 말하지만 한국에서는 좁은 의미의 게임인 **비디오 게임**(Video Game)과 **컴퓨터 게임**(Computer Game)을 말하며 해당 항목도 비디오 게임을 중심으로 서술되어있다. 고로 비디오 게임으로 넘어올 수 있다.

## 비디오 게임의 정의

말그대로 사용자가 전자기기의 스크린을 보며 정해진 규칙에 따라 조작을 하면 컴퓨터, 비디오가 이를 인식하고 결과를 발송해주는 오락 데이터를 말한다.

## 비디오 게임의 역사

### 1980

1980년은 빼놓을 수 없는 아타리 쇼크가 터진 해(1983년)이다. 아타리 쇼크의 악영향으로 게임 시장은 큰 타격을 입고 게임의 인식까지 안좋아지던 찰나 닌텐도와 세가가 시장에 뛰어들게 된다. 이 영향으로 게임 시장은 일본 시장으로 넘어가게 된다.

## 트리비아

* 한국에서는 중장년층의 주적으로 언론부터해서 정치계까지 젊은 층의 탈선과 범죄를 비난할 때 비디오 게임을 들먹이며 비난하는 경우가 많다. 사실 이 문화 탄압은 예전부터 내려져오는 것으로 1800년대엔 소설책을 불건전한 것으로 여기고 탄압하려던 사례가 있었으며 19,20세기에서는 그 자리를 만화, 영화가 대체했었다. 게임은 21세기의 탄압 미디어라고 보는 것이 옳다. ~~아마 미래엔 새로운 미디어가 탄압 대상이 될 것이다.~~ 게임 시장이 커서 강대국으로 여겨지는 미국과 일본도 비디오 게임 취미는 좋게 보지는 않는다.

Cinder Fall in Professor Arc

Within the frame narrative of *Professor Arc* and the sequel series, *Headmaster Arc*, Cinder Fall is represented as the central primarily due to Salem not being revealed as the bigger antagonist at this point.

## Professor Arc

### Initial Introduction and Behavior

Cinder was first introduced in chapter 14 of *Professor Arc* as a fear-inducing woman, so much so that Roman Torchwick and Neopolitan expressed concern over meeting her. Jaune expresses concern,l but soon starts staring at her legs. The minor dialogue continues as Cinder begins to "act seductively" to Jaune, specifically an attempt to get a reaction out of him including some suggestive and minor threatening activities such as placing her hand on his chest while activating her semblance.

Jaune reported feeling incredibly hot just from her touch. According to Roman, this was Cinder's use of fire, though she was likely not trying to kill him at this point. Because Jaune did not back down, he ended up placing a target on himself, as Cinder started to believe he was a dangerous individual to be monitored closely.

### Scheming

After formulating her plans further, Cinder decides the best course of action would be to infiltrate Beacon as a professor rather than a student since she "looks older" than Mercury Black or Emerald Sustrai.

Coeur predicted that Pyrrha's family ran a criminal empire in Mistral and that she won many fights due to cheating or intimidation from her family's influence. This motivated her decision to go to Vale to escape her reputation and not use her semblance for fear of being called a cheater. He concludes by stating that Pyrrha needs some backstory.

## Biography

It is unknown when the dyslexic journalist was born, but according to Coeur, he was working at the same job, implying he must have been at least in his 20s.

In Your Wildest Dreams

***In Your Wildest Dreams*** (IYWD) is the 33rd literary work published by Coeur Al'Aran published on 2022 October 6 a few days after *The Second Choice*. The work focuses on Jaune possessing the semblance of dream immersion.

## Background

### Idea Exchange with College Fool

Coeur states that he came up with the story idea with College Fool years ago. It's unknown specifically when he and CF discussed the idea of dream immersion, but it is known that they were exploring the idea by 2015 during the publication of *From Beyond* and *Dead Man Walking (Or Something)*. The chapter 8 description for DMW(OS) features Jaune forcibly pulled into the dreams of other characters. While it is not a "semblance" as Jaune is dead, it serves as a critical plot point facilitating closer relations between him and the Sisterhood Who Murdered Jaune.

Miles Luna

Miles Luna captured by Racco726 in Shinjuku, Japan on December 3, 2016.

**Miles Luna** (April 24, 1990 - ) is a writer for *RWBY* and voice actorfor Jaune Arc. He is infamous for screwing up the *RWBY* universe and timeline to be dissonant from the conjectures of Coeur Al'Aran.

Miles has been in creative control of *RWBY* since February 2015, so all items listed are from 2015 and after.

## Things Miles has Screwed Up

### 2016

#### Velvet's Weapon

While Velvet's first weapon appearance predates chapter four of *Professor Arc* with the release of volume 2 episode 12 (*Breach)* in November 2014, Miles continued screwing up Velvet's weapon by revealing it was a Hard-Light Dust weapon in February 2016 rather than being fire-based as imagined by Coeur.

### 2018

####

#### Saphron Cotta-Arc

On December 8, 2018, chapter seven of volume six *(The Grimm Reaper)* was released, revealing that Jaune's sister is not named Sapphire Arc, rather she is named Saphron Cotta-Arc. Miles accidentally made her a homosexual with another female named Terra, leading to Coeur to change her character in chapter four of *A Rabbit among Wolves* on December 10, 2019*.*

Kali Al'Aran

*Not to be confused with Kali Belladonna*

Kali Al'Aran, captured with Coeur Al'Aran's sister and other dog, Parker.

**Kali Al'Aran** is a border collie adopted by Coeur Al'Aran on May 13, 2018. She is rarely mentioned, although the status of her health has been brought up by Coeur in chapter 54 of *Relic of the Future.*

## Biography

It is unknown when Kali was born, but based on the size of the dog shown in Coeur's Imgur account, it is presumed that the dog is fairly young at around 4-5 months.

### Health Crisis

*See: Health Crisis*

On April 20, 2019; Coeur mentions in an Author Note for chapter 54 that Kali has been refusing to eat, which is unusual given her "usually greedy nature." According to Coeur, they took her to the veterinarian to perform an x-ray and blood test to ensure nothing was wrong. The issue continues to persist as Coeur dictates what is happening with Kali through the Author Notes of separate canons.

The Health Crisis has concluded, but it took a toll on his writing, particularly in the comedy division for *Headmaster Arc.*

Kali was briefly mentioned in an author note for Relic of the Future.

Nicholas Arc in Not this Time, Fate

**Nicholas Arc's role and characterization in *Not this Time, Fate*** is one that features him in a more active and present role compared to other literary canons. While he made appearances and provided quotes in *One Good Turn Deserves Another* and *Professor Arc* beforehand which imply his motivations and character, *NTTF* is the first instance where his character, broader behavior, background, and motivations are clearly demonstrated.

> "*For it is in our passing that we achieve immortality, by our example we become a martyr for the glory of others. Selfless in sacrifice, bound by duty, I release your soul, and by my hand… place this burden upon thee.*"

## Biography

### Jaune's Previous Lives

According to Jaune, he had attempted to get Nicholas to train him in previous lives, but he initially refused to do so because Jaune "was not fit enough." His excuses morphed into something else when Jaune gained enough body mass.

In one of Jaune's earlier lives, he attempted to make Nicholas and Juniper win a prize from a "so-clearly rigged" claw machine, which Nicholas later took as a personal challenge until Juniper dragged him away from it.

### Jaune's Current Life

According to Jaune Arc, Nicholas keeps hiking backs in a cupboard pre-packed with tools and camping equipment if surprise missions occurred. He kept it by the front door, due to threats from Juniper Arc that she would kill him if he kept bringing dirty equipment into the house.

On the day Jaune Arc happened to be sent back in time, Nicholas was on a mission, and would be for two more days according to Juniper. He returned managed to return early the next day,

It is the most technologically advanced Kingdom and contains both the largest and strongest standing military against the Grimm. The kingdom was formerly called Mantle, but following the events of the Colour Revolution, power shifted over to Atlas instead while Mantle was left in the dust.

Atlas was first mentioned in chapter 14 of *One Good Turn Deserves Another*, and has frequently been mentioned in other microcanons.

## History

### Mantle

Around 200 BB, the main hunter academy "Shelter", changed its name to Atlas Academy, much to the disappointment of Ozma.

Beacon Academy Examinations

The **Beacon Academy examinations** are a series of exams given to students during the Beacon academic year to test their aptitude in conceptual and practical applications of knowledge. As interpreted by Coeur Al'Aran, students are tested on a variety of subjects ranging from mathematics and history to Grimm studies and combat.

## Final Exams

### Mathematics

As indicated by Ruby Rose, one of the subjects that third year students need to take an exam for is mathematics. It is not fully known how many math classes are required, or how advanced they become, but it is known that students at least have to apply trigonometry. The following list catalogues known math exam questions from the history of Beacon academy.

#### Bullhead Trigonometry Problem

The **Bullhead trigonometry problem** originates from the 3 AB Beacon academic year from the final examination on mathematics. It was discussed by team RWBY in chapter 62 of *Service with a Smile*, and proceeds as follows:

"If a Bullhead travelling at sixty miles per hour is losing altitude from six thousand feet to ground level with an angle of descent of twenty-five degrees, what angle should the nose be dipped to avoid collision with a settlement two hundred and fifty metres ahead under siege by Grimm."

The following information is provided:

* Speed of the bullhead: sixty miles per hour
* Initial height of the bullhead: six thousand feet
* Final height of the bullhead: zero feet
* Ahead distance of the settlement: 250 meters
* Angle of descent: 25 degrees
* The nose has to be dipped, therefore the angle of descent must be greater than 25 degrees.
* The goal is to solve for the change in the angle that the nose of a bullhead has to be dropped from 25 degrees.

Mathematically speaking, the framing of the question does not appear to apply to Earth-based units. Based on the provided information, using sin(θ) to solve for the distance, the bullhead would travel approximately 4,327.3 meters before crashing. This corresponds with a travel distance of over 17x the village's stated position before crashing.
Fate in Arc Royale

Fate depicted with Atlesian jacket by Sa-Dui (published 2017 May 22)

In *Arc Royale*, **Fate** is the Jaune Arc from *Not this Time, Fate*. He is linked to Pyrrha Nikos, and is the most cynical and critical of the Jaunes' in Ozpin's faction. In his universe, Fate lived the same timeframe at Beacon Academy for about 2000 years according to Jinn, making him the most experienced Jaune on Ozpin's faction mentally, but not biologically.

## Fate in *Arc Royale*

### Background

In his first life, Fate was distraught over the loss of Pyrrha Nikos, and committed suicide by Grimm. He later realized that he was not dead, but transported to the past, and opted to use his ability to try and save his friends knowing the later events of the Fall of Beacon. Despite his efforts, they did not work, but he persisted, testing large changes and small variations, collecting intelligence by working with Roman Torchwick and Cinder Fall, and trying to tell Ozpin and James Ironwood about his abilities, but stopped after they tortured him believing he was a spy. To mitigate boredom, he engaged in smoking, alcoholism, and casual sex with Beacon students. He formed known relationships with Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna, Lie Ren, Nora Valkyrie, Coco Adel, Winter Schnee, but later stopped since the pain of losing them and having them forget him was too much to bear. After 2000 years, Jaune entered his most recent life after making it to 3 AB, the furthest into the future he had gotten, before being burned alive by Cinder and being sent to the age of 14 in Ansel. While he considered stealing Crocea Mors and venturing out again, he opted to not do this, and decided his present life would be a vacation so he could collect more information on Cinder's strategy following the Fall of Beacon. At some point, he was unexpectedly pulled from his reality to the *Arc Royale* continuity, where he expressed confused frustration.

	+ The 2016 United States Presidential Election takes place
	+ Coeur posts in the "Music to listen to while reading Coeur's stories" thread sharing a song which he considered the practical theme song of *Not this Time, Fate*. Coeur remarks that the extended version has loops, analogous to the situation Jaune faces with time loops and how he strives to push forward for the true ending regardless of the situation he faces. The video has been removed for an undisclosed period, so it is unknown what song Coeur is referring to.
	+ Coeur complains about Sword Art Online, noting that it was a "gary-stu, over-powered, no-personality show with 2d characters. He also coins a term, "the gamer effect", referring to a great volume of terrible gamer works amidst a few good ones. He later remarks that every aspect of SAO felt like a parody, but was disappointed that the work was trying to be serious, and served as a good image for terrible self-insert works. Coeur later disclosed that he did substantial research in preparation for *The Entertainer*, but could not disclose what it was since it may reveal spoilers.

Jaune Arc in "The Equalizer"

**Jaune Arc** (17 BB —) is a main character in "The Equalizer." He learns to manipulate dust for combat purposes, and brings his skills to Beacon Academy.

## Early Life (17 — 1 BB)

The Arc family had been well known but was less prominent in the modern era, to the point that Weiss could vaguely recognize the Arc name but needed additional research to confirm. Jaune Arc was born in 17 BB to Nicholas and Juniper Arc in Ansel, Vale. According to Jaune, he had little outside of a large family, a large collection of crossdressing photos, and a driven dream to become a Hunter, inspired from his father's stories.

Jaune was disgruntled about his lack of aura or semblances, but shortly before he turned 13 in 4 BB, he considered a way to level the playing field against the Grimm using dust. Its not known how Jaune discovered dust, but he realized it was his best tool to place him on comparable footing with other hunters. Jaune gained experience over the next four years practicing his craft by mixing random dusts together to create explosions, and likely used his self-proclaimed title as a "dust specialist" for admissions to Beacon Academy. At some point before the Beacon semester began, dust prices increased due to robberies and supply shortages, must to Jaune's frustration.

## Beacon Academy (1 BB —

After making it to Beacon, Jaune witnessed a dust explosion incident from Ruby Rose. Jaune also interacted with Weiss Schnee, and was amazed when he encountered her. They conversed about his occupation, where Jaune mentioned he was a dust specialist in training rather than a swordsman. Jaune confided that the Schnee's dust was the best in terms of purity and results, but not price. After this discussion, Jaune accompanied Weiss to the opening speech by Headmaster Ozpin. During the evening, Jaune witnessed Ruby and Weiss interacting, but did not get involved due to his shyness.

Jaune was launched into the air into the Emerald Forest for initiation, but was fortunately saved by Pyrrha Nikos accurately throwing a spear in his direction. Jaune proceeded with the goal of finding and partnering with Weiss.

Gregory Sands-Sanson

**Gregory Sands-Sanson** (Date unknown, 22 BB - Date unknown, 1 AB) was a member of the Crimson Devils responsible for assaulting Jaune Arc and stealing Crocea Mors in *Service with a Smile*.

## Biography

### Early Years

Gregory was born in 22 BB to a respected family, although it is not known which kingdom he was born in. What is known is that he used to be in school, but dropped out, likely in secondary education.

### Crime Life

After dropping out, Greogry got involved in acts of crime, although his family paid for lawyers to keep him out of prison on two instances, likely for money to attain alcohol and other drugs. Hs family stopped helping him after he was sent to jail for the third time for theft, drug dealing, armed assault, and robbery.

## Legacy

Gregory was not an individual who focused a great deal on effort or ethics, the former detail led to mild irritation to develop within Roman Torchwick before his interrogation. He died in 1 AB by the hands of Neopolitan after being bricked too many times.

Banesaw

**Banesaw** is the informal name for the **White Fang Lieutenant** seen in chapter 2, volume 3 of *RWBY* on August 14, 2014.

## History

### Pre-Coeur

The first known use of "Banesaw" is by Maki Kuronami on October 27, 2014, though it is likely that other references could have been made on the *RoosterTeeth* after its premiere. Since then, "Banesaw" has been used as an informal colloquial in reference to the lieutenant across other media platforms such as Reddit, FanFiction, and Tumblr. The first known mention of Banesaw on Reddit was on May 17, 2015 by ChessedGamon.

The earliest work specifically tagging "White Fang Lt" was published on November 12, 2016.

### Use by Coeur

Coeur first used the monicker "Banesaw" on April 1, 2017, in chapter 33 of *Not this Time, Fate*. His most frequent use of Banesaw is within the narrative of *A Rabbit Among Wolves*.

Awkward Circumstances (Professor Arc)

*This page is incomplete and requires expansion.*

**"Awkward circumstances"** is the seventh chapter of *Professor Arc* published by Coeur Al'Aran on 2015 March 16 after *Just another criminal* and before *Lifestyle choices*. It would be the last chapter for any story that Coeur would publish for nearly two months until May 14 due to him facing medical and work-based circumstances.

## Synopsis

Glynda Goodwitch is curious as to why Jaune Arc needs a different office as a student counselor for Beacon Academy. Jaune elaborates that he does not need space, but beelives that inviting students back to his room would lead to unfortunate implications. Glynda concurs, suggesting she speaks to Headmaster Ozpin, which Jaune appreciates.

FanFiction

**FanFiction** is a website devoted to writing, sharing, reading, and reviewing pieces of literature created by other users on a public forum. The works are often derived from official pieces, which explore potential avenues through alternate timelines, character motivation, or pornography. In the context of Coeur Al'Aran, he has written stories that follow these sorts of avenues to varying degrees of success.

## Archive Analytics

### Factors Leading to Coeur's Success

#### Open Field

Before Coeur created an account and started posting on the *RWBY* Archive, there were few works posted. Between August 2014 and March 2015, there were between 3000 and 5000 original works created. As a result, when he started posting, his material could be seen for a longer interval of time due to decreased traffic allowing stories to stay on the front page longer.

#### Consistency

In addition to the slow nature of the early *RWBY* Archive, Coeur demonstrated consistency early on with his first work, *One Good Turn Deserves Another*, in which he posts one chapter per day for four consecutive days. After this brief burst of writing, he continued to update once every week until he released *Professor Arc,* when the schedule shifted to a bi-weekly schedule. By May 23, 2015; he acquired over 1,400 follows between *OGTDA* and *PA*.
