Jaune go's to a monster school au. He is a Human aloud to go because his family His ability and his abundance of Mana. He was never that how to use it the So, despite getting similar results to other students, he uses absurd amounts of manna on stuff that really should abuse that much. Weiss is a vampier, rwby werewolf, yang a dragon, penny a golem, Blake is a werecat, Ren a ghost, Nora a Valkyrie, pariah is a demigod daughter of Aries.
Jaune: Hi, I'm Jaune. Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, and rolls of the tongue. The ladies love it~.
Jaune: ...Okay, maybe they don't now, but they will! Anyway, that's not what I wanted to talk about. See, I kind of need to vent, and this is the only way I really can.
Jaune: But what do I have to vent about? I have a great family, a lot of great friends, and a bright future ahead of me! I just... have to survive until I reach it.
Jaune: ...Let me start over. My name is Jaune Arc, the only son born to the Arc family, who are one of the few families on Remnant with access to mana, or magic. I'm not very good at it, but I'm good enough to not be allowed to go to normal, regular people school.
Jaune: So that's why I'm attending Beacon's Light Academy of Magic, which was explained to me at one of the four "Great Mage" academies in Remnant, along with Atlas's Might, Haven's Garden, and Vacuo's End. It's not so bad so far, since I'm learning a lot at Beacon with my best friend, Ruby Rose.
-------------------------------------------
Jaune: What's for lunch, Ruby?
Ruby: (Sniffs) Mm... Beef...
Jaune: What else?
Ruby: Uh... I don't know. Why? The only thing you need to eat is beef, pork, and chicken, right?
Jaune: Uh...
-------------------------------------------
Jaune: See, Ruby is a werewolf. Yeah. You heard me. Half-human, half-wolf. I don't really know what the story is, since I don't really pry into her business, but Ruby basically has what's called "primal mana," which is magic based on tapping into your most base instincts and emotions, like fear, anger, and hunger. She's usually cool, except on the days that have full moons later that night, then she gets super irritable. She can still go to day classes, but she has to go to the safety bunker before... Well, based on the claw marks I see getting fixed the next morning, it's something super bad. Like, so bad, Weiss can't go to her night classes.
Jaune: Oh, speaking of Weiss, she's also my friend, and I kinda have crush on her. ...Okay, she's not really my friend yet. More of a friend of a friend. But I'm getting there, I think. But it might be best for me to keep my distance from her because the reason I can only see her so few times is because...
-------------------------------------------
Jaune: Oh, uh, h-hey, Weiss!
Weiss: For the love of... Good morning, Jaune.
Jaune: So, uh, how... How were your classes?
Weiss: Fine, Jaune.
Jaune: Cool, cool... So, uh... Do you... wanna get some... blood?
Weiss: (Puts her book down)
Weiss: (Slowly turns to look at him, Bewildered)
Jaune: ...Is that a no?
-------------------------------------------
Jaune: Look, if someone as flat and uninteresting as romance novel teens can get vampires, why shouldn't I try my luck? You know, besides the fact that I'm Type-O and probably a better meal than a friend to her. Nevertheless, I will keep trying... until she tells me she wants nothing to do with me. Which she hasn't. Yet. But she won't! Maybe.
Jaune: Anyway, being a vampire is kind of a double-edged lottery sword. It's part of something called "genesis mana," or "Blood Magic". Only people of a certain bloodline can access this, but it also curses your family to become some kind of monster, like a vampire, a wendigo, or even a werewolf. And that's why the Schnee family is so picky about who hangs out with who. My dad used to tell me that some families turn away suitors because "certain blood dulls the mana". He also tells me it's stupid, but also stupid to try my luck. Thankfully, he's not here to judge me, and I have friends who're willing to support me, like Ruby and...
-------------------------------------------
Penny: Sal-u-tations~!
Jaune: Oh, hey, Penny. What's going on?
Penny: I have heard about your recent failures with friend Weiss and have been instructed by friend Ruby to cheer you up!
Ruby: W-What?! N-No, I didn't!
Jaune: ...
Jaune: (Writes on a napkin) Ruby, I have a command written on this napkin. The command is, "Show me every command Ruby gave." You either tell me the truth, or I ask Penny to eat this.
Ruby: She can say no, though, so there!
Jaune: Penny, would you like to eat this napkin with a command written on it?
Penny: Yes, I would!
Ruby: NOOOOOOO!
-------------------------------------------
Jaune: She's also a really great lie detector. I mean, except for when telling her own lies. That's just how golems are, I guess. Penny is kind of a... experiment Atlas is testing out at Beacon. She's going to be attending here as a way to test if golems are sentient and capable of safely interacting with other people. Why a school full of young adults would be considered safe, I have no idea, but I'm glad to have a friend like Penny around. And as far as I can tell, whether you were born or crafted together with "creati mana," you're still human to me!
Jaune: Uh, I mean people! You're still people to me! Hah... Sorry... Last time I said "human," I got on the bad side of...
-------------------------------------------
Blake: You were late to class.
Jaune: Sorry, sorry!
Blake: Being sorry doesn't excuse you showing up late.
Jaune: Right, sorry. I was up late last night, reading a really good issue of X-Ray and Vav.
Blake: ...You stayed up late. For a comic book.
Jaune: A really good one! You like reading, don't you?
Blake: ...
Blake: (Digs claws into the table)
-------------------------------------------
Jaune: Yeah, Ruby isn't the only one who can access "primal mana". In fact, it's a lot more common for faunus to access it than humans, for obvious reasons. But unlike Ruby, Blake seems irritated all the time when it comes to hanging out with me. Honestly, she feels more like a friend of a friend than Weiss does with me. Almost every word that I say seems to piss her off, and I don't know why.
Jaune: Hah... Guess I'm just unlucky with girls as friends, since I get along really well with...
-------------------------------------------
Jaune: Yo, Ren!
Ren: Good morning, Jaune.
Jaune: Any luck last night?
Ren: Not yet. But I did rearrange the recipe in the cafeteria for a healthier meal this afternoon.
Jaune: Oh... Uh...
Ruby: WHERE'S THE BEEF?!
-------------------------------------------
Jaune: Ren is a ghost, and he's been haunting this school for the past... I don't really know. But what I do know is how Ren got to where he is now. See, he was human, like me, and before he died in school, he cast a spell that bound his soul to the school.
Ren: Wrong.
Jaune: AGH!
Ren: I was attuned with "psyki mana" and could manifest my soul so I could find my best friend after I died. We were supposed to graduate, but when I finally came to life, she'd already left without me.
Jaune: Wait, you didn't cast a spell or anything?
Ren: In order for me to cast, I would require access to my aura, which was lost in my final moments. But my soul is still present, though it requires time and effort to manifest.
Jaune: ...
Ren: You can just say you don't know.
Jaune: I don't know. But, uh, were you able to get into the office?
Ren: No. Access to the office is protected from every mana variant known to Remnant. Nothing magical in nature, including a ghost, can enter.
Jaune: Geez, that's rough. You know who might be able to help?
-------------------------------------------
Nora: Alright, alright, what's going on now?
Jaune: Uh, well, I was just making my way to class when suddenly-
Nora: Were you attacking this poor girl?!
Jaune: What?! No! It's the other way around!
Nora: HA! Yeah, right! Look at you! You're twice her size and SHE attacked you?
Ruby: You stole my comic book!
Jaune: I did not!
Nora: Oh, really? Hand it over, kid.
Jaune: But-
Nora: HAND. IT. OVER.
-------------------------------------------
Jaune: ...On second thought, nevermind. Valkyries aren't really that helpful, are they?
Ren: It depends on what the situation is. If it's in response to a violent crime, they are merciless and will do whatever it takes to protect the innocent in the magic realm.
Jaune: But if it's a petty crime?
Ren: They... can be a bit biased in who they assist. Unless their opponent is a hostile monster with a weapon, they're not good with delegation and diplomacy. But they do care.
Jaune: Well, you could always ask one, right?
Ren: Unfortunately, no. Valkyries are protected by a specialized armor that prevents the effects of mana. A ghost like me can't even be seen by them, let alone get near one.
Jaune: Dang... Well, best of luck to you.
Ren: Thank you. Also, before I leave, I was asked to find you.
Jaune: Really? By who?
-------------------------------------------
Jaune: Uh, h-hi...
Pyrrha: H-Hi...
Jaune: ...
Pyrrha: ...
Jaune: So, uh-
Pyrrha: DADDY, NO!
Jaune: Wha-?
Jaune: (Sees giant boar barreling at him)
-------------------------------------------
Jaune: Ugh... Great... You ever heard of helicopter parents? Well, with someone like Pyrrha, her helicopter dad comes equipped with a rocket launcher and twin machine guns. And a hatred for any boy that gets close to his daughter. Kind of expected since her dad is the God of War. And when I say god, I mean ALL the gods of war to have ever existed. It's part of her "deity mana," where a very lucky few are literal descendants of the divine. And hers happens to be the embodiment of war, violence, and combat. So not only can her dad kick my ass, but SHE can kick my ass!
Jaune: I don't know how I'm going to survive this school, but hey, here's hoping I can at least make it to graduation!
Jaune: ...Er, no offense, Ren.

Are Pyrrha and Ren demigods in the PJO AU?
Ren is, son of Iris. He’s claimed but he doesn’t have a cabin so he stays in the Hermes cabin with Nora, who also doesn’t have a cabin
Pyrrha is… a special case
Athena, goddess of strategy, is able to read the signs of the coming war better than any of her family, and unlike Ares she actually wants to do something about it
The Three Brothers try to make a pact to subvert the prophecy, but Hades, god of the dead, knows that trying to avoid fate will only bring it screaming down around your ears
The gods need a mortal champion, one born from the Sons of Kronos, one who is strong enough to fight the King of the Titans, one who wouldn’t hesitate to die if the war called for it
They need an Achilles
They both come to this conclusion separately, and with a dream from the Fates giving tacit approval, the two of them set to work
And within a few months, Pyrrha Nikos is born and arrives on the doorstep of the Big House in a golden cradle. Daughter of Hades, Blessed by Athena, Rebirth of Achilles. Destined to burn as bright as her hair and die just as tragically

Jaune and Ruby Moment
Jaune walked in the moonlight.
The only sound was the sound of his footsteps crunching on the leaves. His hands were in his pockets.
He walked slowly, lost in his thoughts.
Back when he had joined Beacon... the only goal was to become a huntsman.
Just to honor the line of huntsmen that had come before him. His father, his grandfather, who fought in the Great War for Vale, his father before him, and his father before him.
To become a hero, destined to help those in need. That was who he had wanted to be, back when he had foolishly joined Beacon without even aura.
And now...
They were waging war against the Queen of the Grimm.
Oh, and she was immortal too. With nigh-instantaneous regeneration...
The fate of the world rested on their shoulders.
And, with that reminder, Jaune’s shoulders felt like they were holding up the very definition of responsibility.
It was insane, stupid, crazy! He definitely wasn’t cut out for this.
It was incomprehensible.
They couldn’t do this. He would have backed out of this entire thing long ago...
But...
They had the best allies on their side.
Perseus Jackson, or Apollyon. His team leader, and his good friend. The most powerful demigod of his age, who held too many titles to count, and had already saved the world twice over. This was nothing new for him.
Qrow Branwen and Taiyang Xiao-Long were members of the famous Team STRQ, and experienced, powerful huntsmen in their own right.
Pyrrha Nikos, the Invincible Girl of Mistral, his partner, who was also a quarter maiden.
Oscar Pine, formerly Professor Ozpin, or Ozma. A reincarnating wizard, who had been holding Salem off for thousands of years.
It seemed like he couldn’t be relied upon, though. After what had happened... Ozpin, or Ozma, just didn’t appear anymore.
Jaune, just like everyone else, wanted to punch his face out. Qrow and Tai had both wanted to cave his skull in.
What had happened in that story fractured what little trust they had left in Ozpin.
Lying to them, keeping things secret, and even causing the entire situation in the first place. It was...
He clenched his fist. It was unacceptable.
Only the presence of Percy had helped them change things up and allowed information between them to flow more freely. Teamwork.
Even so, their two groups weren’t shabby at all. They had all come a long way since Beacon.
But they could lose. They weren’t infallible.
Despite everything, they were just first-year huntsmen trainees. What if something happened to one of them?
If assassins came in the middle of the night, or if one of them went down in battle... what would become of them?
He was still the stupid, foolish boy who had cheated his way into Beacon and faked his transcripts. He was the weakest of their group.
And so, if the day came that something would happen to one of them...
Jaune hated to admit that he would be too weak to do anything about it.
He was broken out of his thoughts by the snapping of a twig.
He whirled around, hand on Crocea Mors, drawing it. There was a flash of steel, and it was in his hands in an instant.
“Who’s there?”
A certain black and red-haired girl stepped out from behind a tree.
“Ruby?”
“H-Hey, Jaune,” she waved at him, embarrassed.
He sighed, sheathing his sword.
“Ruby? Why are you here?”
“I heard you get up from your sleeping bag,” she admitted, “You couldn’t sleep?”
Jaune thinned his lips, “No. You couldn’t either?”
“O-Oh... yeah...”
“Hey, Ruby.”
“Y-Yeah, Jaune?”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Sure!” she chirped.
“How do you feel right now?”
“What do you mean?” Ruby asked uncertainly.
“How do you feel about...” Jaune ran a hand through his hair, “I dunno, everything. How are you taking it?”
“I... I’m not super sure...” she admitted.
There was a silence that ran through the clearing. Neither of them really knew what to say.
And then, Ruby was the one to fill the silence.
“I-I always wanted to be a hero, a huntsman,” she started, “Kinda like you, in a way. I wanted to be one of the great heroes in the fairytales, and to help the people...”
“I never thought it would have turned out like this, though,” she continued, “With everything that’s going on... it’s almost too much.”
Jaune’s shoulders slumped, and he let out an exhale through his nose, “Yeah.”
“Is that why you’re here? Because you couldn’t sleep?”
Ruby came closer to him, looking into his eyes. Jaune drew back, and she pushed forward.
“A-Are you scared?”
Jaune drew in a sharp breath.
“Y-Yeah.”
His back hit the trunk of a tree.
“Why are you scared?” she peered at him, with those wide, beautiful, silver eyes of hers.
“I-I’m afraid. I’m afraid that something might happen to one of us. Maybe someone comes and attacks us in the middle of the night. Maybe one of us goes down to the Grimm...”
“And I’ll be too weak to do anything about it. I’m the deadweight of this group.”
“I’m not Percy. Despite all the training, I’m not even near anywhere you guys are. I’m still...”
He laughed mirthlessly, gesturing to himself, “At the end of the day, I’m still me. I don’t have that much skill or strength. I’m not like Percy, who has that much strength and power and skill.”
“I’m not like Pyrrha, who is a quarter maiden and can fight her way through anyone. I’m not like Yang, who can punch through whatever’s in front of her, or Nora, who can smash through anything she wants to. I’m not like Weiss, who can use dust to do almost magic, or Blake, who can clone around quickly. I’m not like you, who can speed around, or even Ren, who can provide us with support and shield us from the Grimm.”
“And, even if I had that much strength, I don’t think it would matter. Even Percy couldn’t save everyone. At the end of the day, I’m just...”
He closed his eyes. He let out a breath, shuddering.
A warmth was clasped around his hands. Jaune opened his eyes, looking down.
Her small hands, somehow warm, clasped around one of his hands. Silver eyes met his blue ones.
“You’re you, Jaune. Don’t be so mad at yourself. None of us are all powerful,” she said softly, “And like you said if even Percy couldn’t do anything about it, why should you worry? And that’s what matters.”
“You’ve come a long way. We all have. We have to be ready,” she insisted, pressing into him.
“And how are we supposed to be ready for an immortal Queen of the Grimm, with insane magical powers and equally insane instant regeneration?”
Jaune knew he was playing the devil’s advocate here, but part of him didn’t care. He didn’t care.
“I-I...”
“How are we going to do it? Isn’t this just the world’s most advanced suicide mission ever? What’s even the point? We might as well all die anyway,” he laughed mirthlessly, “That way we can die together!”
“J-Jaune... I-I don’t know...”
He realized that he had advanced towards her, and her back was against a tree now. She had her hands out, trying to placate him.
A silence permeated throughout the clearing. He took heavy, deep breaths. He took a step backward, and then another step.
He had been screaming at her. He had been yelling at her, like some child throwing a tantrum.
What kind of person was he?
Fuck, he was horrible. He had just blown up in Ruby’s face, all for nothing.
He exhaled.
“No, it’s fine. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for yelling at you. You didn’t deserve any of it.”
Jaune slumped, slowly lowering himself and sitting on the ground. His back leaned against the trunk of a tree.
After a split second, he heard Ruby come to sit beside him.
“Yeah, I kinda get it, honestly,” she chuckled slightly, “Sometimes I also want to yell and scream too. It’s like, super super insane that we’re doing this. We’re just teenagers.”
“And how do you deal with it?” Jaune asked.
“Everyone has different ways of dealing with it. Yang likes to put her anger into workouts. Weiss and Blake would become cold and distant... I would probably, I dunno, funnel my anger into training too, and burst into rose petals, y’know? I don’t really have time to sulk.”
“That... actually makes a lotta sense...”
Ruby sighed, “Yeah. We just need to endure this,” she shuffled closer to Jaune, their shoulders touching.
“We can do this! Believe in yourself, Jaune, believe in your team- Believe in us!”
The corners of his lips seemed to lift up ever so slightly at her words.
He cracked a smile, “Y-Yeah. Just believe.”
“Sometimes, you just have to believe.”
She laid her head on his shoulder, and he thought he could feel her smile. He smiled, too.
He didn’t want to see that smile ever fade away. More than anything.
He vowed silently to never let it happen.
Arc’s honor.

Which domain does Demigod Pyrrha belong to? And how badly is her patron/matron deity trying to steer her away from Jaune?
Pyrrha doesn't really belong to one Domain, but her mother, Thalestris, is the Amazonian Goddess of wisdom, crafts, civilization, and war.
Oh and she is pissssssssssed about the whole Jaune situation and Boldrei's continuing interference on Pyrrha's destiny.

I have a question: what made you completely change Pyrrha?
I know she dies in this AU but why change her personality if she is going to die still?
This is going to be a bit hefty. I've explained my issues with canon Pyrrha a bit before but I'm always willing to do it again so I hope this makes things relatively clear:
When volume 1 of RWBY was still airing, I used to tell anyone that would listen that I believed Pyrrha would either die or go through a villain corruption arc. I told people this not because something was setting it up, but because Pyrrha in canon has a personality that embodies the dead wives you see in videos husbands play. They're characters made not to be characters, but to be missed. To be loved and adored by the audience without the creator going in and giving them flaws or traits that make them anything more than a concept to be revered.
It's like the writers didn't trust that the audience could miss or mourn a character who wasn't completely perfect. They seemed so afraid of making her controversial that they barely made her at all. Canon pyrrha doesn't exists outside of Jaune and what she can do for other characters until volume 3. We don't start getting a pyrrha arc until barely a handful of episodes before she's killed off. And after she's gone she's almost never brought up in a context that doesn't include Jaune in some way. Volume 4 has JNR and Ruby traveling together but outside of Jaune's grief we get no hints or indication of the rest of the group dealing with the grief of her passing or avoiding the topic as they pretend they've moved on.
I don't even hate characters like Pyrrha, when handled well it can be a good way to add an emotional center to a characters story. But pyrrha is an actual character we know for 3 volumes who is supposed to feel like her own person with hopes and dreams.
I want her to be human. To be someone flawed and messy that is still growing because she's a person who can change. I want her to exist beyond this idea of being in service to others and instead exist with the idea that because she's been raised to believe she's so fantastic by everyone that she's started to believe it and it's negatively shaped her image of others and how she can connect to them. It gives her a character arc that can then be interrupted by the maiden, while also maybe giving us a reason that Ozpin wasn't immediately willing to speak to Pyrrha about them.
There's also the fact that she's based on Achilles but her personality lends much better to a Joan of arc type (Jaune) than to a demigod known for feats of brutality. There are countless stories floating around of Achilles being horrific and cruel, yet outside of her semblance, skill in combat, and visual inspiration drawn from ancient Greek armor, the writers don't really show any evidence Pyrrha is based on Achilles.
To me her being imperfect and unlikable, only to be killed before she fully grows and changes is far more tragic. Someone with the capacity to be a better version of themselves never getting to grow into it but clearly trying to do so. It would also add emphasis to the fact that Pyrrha was a child when she died, she was 17 maybe 18 if we're being generous. That's so young.
TL;DR: canon pyrrha felt like the writers were shoving a character at us and telling us to love her/miss her then tying her to a man she'd never be separate from.

Pyrrha?
Due to her semblance, I'd say she would be a Roman demigod and a Pluto kid. But we're also talking about the most Greek allusion in the show: she's literally based off Achilles, the Aristos Achaion, the best Greek warrior of his time. Therefore I say she's a Greek Demigod from Camp Half-Blood, not Camp Jupiter.
Pyrrha is a character that was always feeling a lot of pressure and people looked up to her. Therefore, I say she'd be a Big Three kid, specifically Poseidon (Achilles' mother was a sea goddess, so another wink at him).

RWBY/Arkos AU where Jaune is a Vampire Exile, who decides to protect the innocent by feeding on monsters and villains....
Only he is bad at the fighting thing, and after a few bad fights gets rescued by Pyrrha (legendary moster hunter), who takes pity on him, helping him gain "Sanctioned" Vampire status, and eventually inviting him into her monster hunter Warband (after Jaune stabilizes/trains).
They fall in love and live happily.
...
Nora and Ren are already part of the Warband. Nora a demigod (The Storm) and Ren a mind-mage Tiefling.

The problem with liking to do worldbuilding and put things in nice order so I have a good overview and arrange the details so they make sense is that trying to do that to Greek myth and its timeline is like...
Impossible.
And yet here I am, again and again, as I think of something or am writing and my brain goes "ok but when did this happen. where is it" and I have to stop and at least TRY to make something of it.
(I have an original world that basically is only elaborate scaffolding and worldbuilding. It could have stories to it! It basically does not! It's just me with my timeline in that world and species and world info etc and so on.)
My timeline of my Greek myth 'verse is by now sprawling and beautiful, but there are things that just doesn't make sense. (Tydeus' "official" genealogy simply doesn't work for how many people need to be in it in a too short span of time, for example, so that has to be straight up ignored.) Lots of demigods (especially early ones) simply must have longer than normal human lifespans, because it doesn't work otherwise.
And if you really are into putting a huge gap between the earliest mythic events and everything happening involving mortals, you'd get trouble when it comes to Deukalion, son of Prometheus. Fortunately I do certainly not have the Greek gods creating humanity, nor have they been around for millions of years lol so that's not a problem (but Deukalion and Pyrrha still have lifetimes in the excess of two hundred years. Glaukos, son of Sisyphus, ends up ~150 years before he dies at the funeral games of Pelias, for another example).
And yet I can't help myself and keep poking at the timeline and staring at wiki pages or the Bibliotheke etc as I try to make sense of how/where to add something new to what I've already settled on. (':

Sorry I'm late to this but what is the Rwby monster school au? I've always been interested in potential aus that lean into some of the characters being mythical creatures like yang being a sunny little dragon or nora being an actual Valkyrie. Is this what it is?
First / Previous
No worries on being late. You're here now, and that's what matters, right?
Anywho, the Supernatural Superschool AU (crappy name, I know), is a RWBY AU created at the request of @greatkittydream and is looking to be the next big AU of the year, or at least the first of the new set.
The story so far is that the world of Remnant is filled with magic users wielding mana, instead of huntsmen and huntresses using weapons. Jaune Arc is one of the few humans attending Beacon's Light Academy because he access to Mana. His friends include Ruby, a werewolf, Weiss, a vampire, Penny, a golem, Blake, a werecat, Ren, a ghost haunting Beacon, and Pyrrha, a demigod of the god of war. Other characters so far include Professors Goodwitch and Ozpin, though whether or not they're really human is up discussion, and Nora, who has graduated Beacon and become a full-fledged Valkyrie and basically acts as campus security.
Other characters have yet to be introduced, so it's still on the table for who might show up as what. Though, maybe Yang will be some form or shape of a dragon in the future?
In the meantime, enjoy the works thus far and keep up the good work!

8 and 12 from the violence ask game
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
one of my least favorite takes has to be "the reason Cytherea is Like That is all John's fault". i elaborated more on why i dislike this take here but tl;dr 1) he did actually do something about it, he froze her cancer and made her immortal and 2) she's a demigod with human body altering powers if she seems sick it's because she wants to be. case and point she spent the whole book acting weak but when the mask came off she immediately was standing up and walking around no biggie.
12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them
Gideon the First!! listen. extreme loyalty kink? incredible kismesis with Wake? Resurrection Beast hunter? Pyrrha's other half? God's childhood best friend but only 3rd amongst his ranked sluts? the only one with enough sense to NOT engage in the insane lyctor polycule? i loved the elaboration of his character we got in the NtN dream chapters and think he's a cool character overall. I think he's often looked over, even in ships he is part of (ex: G1deon/Pyrrha/Wake), which is a damn shame. anyway forgive me for self rec'ing but i wrote a whole fic about him here
choose violence ask game!

I think I fell in love with Pyrrha you describe. Please indulge me more about her. Any more hcs on Pyrrha?
😍 I just love Pyrrha 💕
Pyrrha is a nickname. When Achilles first got to Skyros he was extremely angry and distraught. He didn’t want to talk with anyone and wanted to sulk in his room. The handmaidens nicknamed him Pyrrha (the myth says hair color, but we all know it’s moreso his personality).
Pyrrha was not a planned roleplay persona. She evolved (perhaps into more than pretend 😉). The handmaidens were naturally curious of newcomers to the island, and for sure the sulking/crying she was doing was certainly gossip fodder. what happened, are you ill, did you refuse to marry, are you being punished, have they separated you from your love, are you forced to marry another And of course when she let it slip that she’s been separated from her lover, the handmaidens got excited. They love a great drama. And so Pyrrha wove this elaborate tale of forbidden love, a secret marriage, and a kidnapping. (Deidamia was naturally jealous of all the attention being stolen from her)
Pyrrha came to Skyros under the lie that she was an Amazon warrior ready for marriage but requiring lessons first. Pyrrha’s “truth” she came to believe was that Amazon warriors cannot marry and when the Queen found out about her secret lover, she was sent away to prepare for a proper marriage. But it was a good cover to explain her strengths and weaknesses in the art of being a woman.
Pyrrha is actually good at weaving. She’s good with her hands. She HATED weaving class. BORING. She would spend most of it daydreaming of her husband and different ways he might rescue her. It got to the point where she told so many stories that she started to forget what the truth was.
Pyrrha is okay at cooking. Achilles learned to cook with Chiron, but it was more rustic/camping/bachelor cooking. She can’t bake, her bread never rises, but she can cook mostly everything when given a recipe. She’ll need help though. She often gets distracted by memories and daydreams of cooking with her husband.
She is good at household management, manners, and posture due to her princely upbringing. She still had to attend the classes as she had to learn the female verions. She didn’t care for the classes just as Achilles didn’t.
But she LOVES LOVES LOVES dancing. She picked it up quickly. She’s graceful and full of energy, so it was the perfect activity for her. (Deidamia was crazy jealous of Pyrrha’s skills)
Also due to her natural demigod skills, she picked up makeup and hairstyles easily. The handmaidens were happy to show her different hairstyles and whatnot. Pyrrha had great hair, so they loved to style it.
(not to sound like I’m feminizing Achilles, but Skyros was BORING) Surprising, or maybe not so, but Pyrrha loves to gossip. When Deidamia wasn’t around to bring down the mood, the handmaidens would share their own stories with each other. A few were having affairs with local fishermen. A couple girls had the privilege of going to the market in town. They would return with local gossip and news (Pyrrha was desperate for possible news of her husband).
But the real gossip happened at night 😈. Nighttime was for the unofficial “wife school.” Their favorite topic to gossip and giggle over? Sex. The non-virgins would pass on their knowledge of pleasing your husband. Pyrrha had a lot to share about handjobs whenever the topic arose. (I’m split on oral as at time and in certain city-states, oral was seen as dirty and something only prostitutes performed) (I’m also split on if Pyrrha leaned about anal sex from these gossip sessions. Part of me thinks they had progressed to anal back on Pelion -TSoA implied fingering in that first time! There is a really great fic that explores these firsts. But I think Skyros is also plausible as the handmaidens would discuss anal as “birth control”) And yes, they did practice kissing. Pyrrha was not a big fan as after her first girl kiss Iphis commented that her chin was “scratchy.”
The non-virgin handmaidens all had olisbos. Pyrrha at first refused when two of the others secretly got her one from the market. But eventually she had one too many daydreams and succumbed to the temptation.
Pyrrha was hit on by multiple men from the palace as well as several locals. She found it extremely flattering, but soon became annoyed due to the number of admirers she gained. Once at a feast a man grabbed her wrist and tried to pull her to an alcove. She beat him up.
At another feast she overheard a group of drunk men making licentious comments about the handmaidens. One of the men commented on her lovely hair and face. Another man responded that she was too flat chested to tempt him. Pyrrha was self-conscious about this ever since.
Oh, and the real reason Achilles died? As Pyrrha he attended a number of women’s only festivals. He sacrificed and prayed under false pretenses. Hera took offense to this mockery of marriage and fertility.
Anyways
Pyrrha’s life got unexpectedly complicated when Patroclus showed up. Of course the very first thing she did was show off her perfect, handsome husband to the handmaidens (they adored him). But it was tough. She didn’t like the way a few of them ogled her husband. Even worse was her schedule. Of course she wanted to go fishing and climb the cliffs, but there was also dance practice to consider and also Diomede had an update on if the eldest son of the pottery merchant broke off his betrothal and was now on the market (but husbands just didn’t get these things).
Pyrrha loves to call Patroclus “husband.” It’s an endearment, a pet name, and a substitute for “daddy” 😈. It drives Pat wild 😉.
It took Patroclus a while to get the hang of managing Achilles. You don’t just develop BDE overnight. But Pyrrha? Ha! Pat has zero defenses. She gets away with E V E R Y T H I N G. Coy Pyrrha is usually enough to do the trick (she gets close, slides her hands up his chest, wraps her arms around his neck, pressed up against him, runs her bare foot up and down his calf). But if there is some hesitance, she turns on the tears. Pat didn’t even stand a chance. And he has no idea he’s being manipulated.
Pyrrha did not get to say goodbye to the handmaidens. The palace guards would not let Achilles near the woman’s quarters after he was found out. This made him sad. The handmaidens were only confused. They couldn’t believe that Pyrrha was a man in disguise. They missed her a lot. A few prayed for her (also why Hera was mad).
After Skyros, Pyrrha only reappeared a few times. It was always in The TentTM. And it usually happened after Achilles won some more feminine items (once anklets, then lip paint, and once a dress).
That’s all I can think of for Iliad/TSoA HCs at the moment. I share a lot of the opinions of this great fic. Did you mean modern AU instead?

Phyrra Harrow Gideon
Nona Harrow Gideon
teacher john crux
alecto nona harrow
wow anon you know how to pick em!
for the first two: pyrrha is the obvious best fuck of this whole list, but i refuse to kill either harrow or gideon, because they have shit to work out and have died enough times between them. so pyrrha and nona have both gotta go, sorry babes. as a 10,000 year old demigod pyrrha has gotten much more of a full life than either of the demigod teenagers here, so i think she'd agree with my choice. nona is a sweet angel who does not deserve death but since she hypothetically would still live on in alecto, I'm okay with this. also, again, i will not kill gideon and harrow. i think they've managed that sufficiently on their own lmao
i'd only want to marry either gideon or harrow in order to ensure they have nice things like blankets and banana bread and emotional support, but i'd get along much better with gideon, so fuck harrow. FWIW i do think she would be a scarily observant partner and Absolutely Determined to be good at sex.
teacher/john/crux: CURSED. i do not want to fuck any of these men. teacher would be a great spouse though. teacher and i could chill in canaan house for a myriad, no problem. i want to kill john, but i want to avoid fucking crux even more, so i suppose i'd join the legion of people who have taken one for the team and fucked john. kill crux.
alecto/nona/harrow: nona is too baby to sleep with! i'd sleep with alecto just to see what it's like to fuck a planet. and marry harrow again for blankets and banana bread purposes :)
