- Fanfic Idea Start-
Dude dies, spins a wheel, and gets reincarnated into RWBY.
He has no idea what a RWBY is.
He spins another wheel again.
He gets the Nasuverse version of Excalibur.
He gets no other boosts or advantages.
He just has Excalibur as his semblance.
And the story rolls from there.
-Fanfic Idea End-
I absolutely adore the Nasuverse version of Excalibur, it's fuckin amazing. I've seen many Artoria/Arthur inserts, but here we get a no-combat experience Reincarnated OC, who just lucky rolls the sword.
He has no other boosts whatsoever. No Arthur's stats or memory. But the sword is still dumb broken in RWBY.
And a sword forged by the planet as the crystallization of the wishes of mankind seems like the perfect glove to fit on the hand of a messed-up world like RWBY.
Honestly, It's the best world that's messed up enough with an interesting world-building that could fit an Excalibur insert as I've managed to think of.
I'd wanted AOT, but that'd be stupid. Maybe? I doubt I could make that work.
Can't think of other well-developed and rough worlds that lack hope or so to insert an Excalibur-wielding reincarnated pleb, That'd make interesting premises.
But hopefully, this gave you some ideas!
With a Character such as this, who wields the literal hope of a broken world you can do some high-stakes pressure stuff, the fate of the world on a random pleb's shoulders, and being the world's literal savior/hope is hard etc...
It's not that big of a problem if the OC is overpowered due to Excalibur if you come up with those internal and perhaps external struggles he has to face! Remember he's a random reincarnated pleb. Not your classic Insta-Messiah Kirito-kun.
Hell, who says he'd be a good guy?
Anyways!
