History:Edward Gawain is the son of Richard and Jennifer Gawain. Richard Gawain was Schnee Corporations top scientist, revolutionizing the safety of the Dust mines. Richard was on Eiss Schnee's, Weiss's father, team at Beacon. Because of this, the two families were very close, and Ed and Weiss grew up together as best friends. Over the years, they started looking at each other as more than friends, and when they were 13 Ed got up the courage to ask her out. One day, when Ed was 15, Richard was working on a way for miners to be able to survive hostile environments using nanites. Ed was visiting his fathers work with his mother, and on that day Roman Torchwick attacked, Edward was badly burned by fire, and Jennifer was shot by one of Torchwick's thugs. Richard had been badly wounded, and right before he died, used the only working batch of nanites to save Ed's life. Wracked with survivors guilt, Ed went around traveling, protecting mines for two years, and earned a reputation as 'the Emerald Knight'.

A man walked through the frozen tundra, wearing a green hoodie, blue jeans, and gloves with two pistols, one white and one black, crossed in an X shape and a golden sword in the middle, embroidered on both of them, and on the back of the hoodie. He carried a sword sheathed in its scabbard strapped to his back. He saw a settlement nearby, and knew this was his destination. Walking into a nearby inn, he laid a few bills on a table. "I'll take a room and some food, please." He said, and removed his hood to revealing a boy of about 17 with a mop of green hair and stunning green eyes. A lady came forward and placed some soup on the table, and she took a few of the bills.

"I'm sorry sir, but we can't give you a room here. Our poor town is having trouble with bandits, and if we give anyone room here they'll kill us all."She said, and the boy looked at her, mouth full of soup.

"mfff, Im nfnef hei." He said, and then swallowed the soup. "Whoa, that's nice and hot. Anyways, don't worry, I'm here to save the town!" He said, and the woman looked startled."Don't be shocked. Mr. Schnee would rather die than see his employees terrorized by bandits." He said, and her eyes widened even more.

"Y-you work for Mr. Schnee? But you look around the same age as my son!" She said.

"Well, my parents tried to make life in the mines easier, and I'm continuing their work in my own way." He said. "So don't worry, after tonight, you'll all be free to go about your lives without having to worry about any more bandits." He said, and her face turned serious.

"You're going to get us all killed." She said, and the boy smirked.

"You know, that's exactly what every town I've saved has told me." He said, and the woman left without another word. "By the way, the names Edward-Edward Gawain." He said, and turned back to his soup, pulling a picture containing a white haired girl. 'One day… one day I'll come back to you, and we can be together again, but only when I can look at myself in the mirror again.' He thought, and noticed a small girl, no more than seven or eight, looking up at him.

"Mister, are you really going to save our town?" She asked, and he smiled at her.

"Of course I am. After all, I can't let a few lowlifes run your lives." Edward said, and she noticed the picture in his hand.

"Is that your girlfriend mister?" She asked, and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Yeah, but I haven't seen her in a long time. In fact, the only thing that keeps me going every day is the thought of seeing her again." He said, and he heard the door swing open, and in walked four men in black suits with red ties, all wearing red sunglasses and black bowler hats.

"All right lady, time to pay up." The one in the lead said.

"B-but I paid last week. I barely have enough to keep the inn open." She said.

"Yeah, but Mr. Torchwick wants next month's payment in advance. Says he wants it now incase someone notices your towns little 'recession'." The leader said, and Ed clenched his spoon even tighter at the mention of Torchwick's name. That name brought up bad memories, the blinding pain he felt as the flames devoured his body, the ache in his right arm…

"Hey, boss! I ain't ever seen him before." One of the goons said, snapping Ed out of his thoughts, and the leader turned to Ed.

"Who the fuck are you?" He asked, and Ed just ate his soup. "Hey, I'm talking to you." He yelled, and Ed looked up from his soup.

"Oh that was you? Sorry, I thought that was a fly." He said, and the man got pissed and turned to the woman.

"What the fuck is this? The boss told you that if anyone set foot in this town, you were to chase them out!" He yelled, and drew a large red machete out of his belt. "You know what happens when you don't do what the boss tells you says!" He yelled.

"P-please don't. I needed the Lin for medicine for my son!" She said, and the man grabbed her by her shirt., and Ed slowly unzipped his jacket and reached into it.

"Do I look like I give two shits lady?" Leader yelled, and raised the machete and brought it down over her head...

BANG! BANG!

Only to completely miss her head. Confused, he then saw the blade of the machete on the floor, and turned and saw Ed standing there, smoke pouring from a pure white pistol with a 10-inch barrel with 'White Queen' engraved on the side next to the corresponding chess piece in his right hand. "Well well, looks like we got ourselves a hero boys." Leader said, and one of his goons handed him another machete. "You know how we like to treat heroes, right boys?" He said, and the rest all drew red machetes. Ed simply smirked, and pulled out an identical black pistol with 'Black King' engraved next to the corresponding chess piece.

"Good. I was getting bored just sitting around." He said, and the four all charged him. One slashed downwards, and Ed blocked with White Queen and shot the man in the chest with Black King, sending him flying back into the wall. Another slashed at his head, and he ducked under the swing and swept his legs out from under him, and knocked him out with a blow to the head using the butt of his pistol. Leader grabbed one of the fallen goons' swords, and slashed with both of the swords in his hands. Ed dodged and put White Queen back in its holster, and drew the sword from its scabbard on his back to reveal a green ninjato with 'Arbiter' engraved on the blade. Ed blocked Leader's next slash, and then let go of Black King, grabbed Leader's arm, and threw him into a table, causing it to break under the weight. He then turned to the last remaining goon, sheathed Arbiter, slammed his right first into his hand, and rolled his neck. The goon dropped his sword and raised his hands.

"I don't even like working for these guys." He said, and started to walk towards the door when gunshots sounded and his body thudded to the floor dead. Ed turned and saw Leader limping out the door, muttering and cursing under his breath. Ed then turned to the innkeeper, who was holding her daughter close to her. "You ok if I go after him?" He asked, and she nodded, and he took off after leader after he picked up Black King.

"Fucking idiots... Gonna teach that brat a lesson." Leader mumbled, and hobbled over to the vehicle he used to get there, a black car that resembled the Corvette of the days before the Dust War, and saw Ed walking towards him. "Gonna kill you... Gonna kill everyone in this piece of shit town!" He yelled, and Ed smirked.

"Now just tell me how you plan on that?" He asked, and Leader pulled out what looked like a massive claymore with a massive ammo clip attached to the guard. "Wow, you have GOT to be compensating for something with a sword that big." Ed said, and Leader yelled and brought the sword down, and Ed blocked with his right forearm. "Touchy about that, huh? Guess I was right." He said, and Leader turned the sword into a rocket launcher.

"I will kill you you motherfucker!" He yelled, and aimed at the inn. "But not before I send everyone in that shithole to hell!" He yelled, and fired at the inn. He watched with glee as it neared the Inn, but then saw Ed jump in front of the rocket, catching it with his right hand.

"No one dies here..." He grunted, and then steered it into the sky, watching as it exploded in mid-air. "No one dies here but YOU!" He yelled, and the right sleeve of his jacket burned away to show a gleaming arm made of metal. He then pulled Arbiter out of it's sheath and rushed Leader, plunging it into his chest. Once the life left Leader's eyes, he removed the sword and sheathed of, and turned to the crowd that had assembled to watch. "All of you are now free to return to your lives. If any of you wish to leave the employ of the Schnee Dust Company, you are free to do so without fear of repercussion. All damage done to your town will be repaired, and you will all be compensated for your troubles. The Schnee Dust Company apologizes for your problems." He said turned to leave when he heard the innkeeper call his name. He turned to look at her.

"Thank you, Mr. Gawain. I was wrong about you, and we can never repay you." She said, and he smiled at her.

"Don't worry about it. Though now that you mention it, I could use a room." He said.

The next day, mid-after noon.

Ed hiked over the last hill, and was greeted by the sight of an airfield, with a Schnee private jet waiting for him. A quick jog later, and he saw a female flight attendant greet him. "Hello Mr. Gawain. I trust this job went successful." She said.

"It did, thank you. Were are we headed next?" Ed asked.

"You'll find out once your inside." She said, and Ed followed her in. Once inside, he saw someone holding a Martini in their hand. "Mr. Schnee, he's arrived."

"Thank you Josephine." The person said, and he got up from his chair to reveal a man with blue eyes, alabaster skin, and grey hair. "Edward, glad to hear the job went well. Come have a seat." He said, gesturing to the seat across from him.

"Thank you, Mr. Schnee. Those guys were just a bunch of idiots." Ed said, and sat down across from Mr. Schnee, and saw a silver haired man in a suit with a green scarf and a pair of spectacles. "Who's our guest?"

"Hello Edward. My name is Professor Ozpin, the head of Beacon Academy. I'm here to invite you to join my school." Ozpin said.

"While I'm honored Professor, I don't think Beacons the right place for me. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, the second semester of this year is about to start. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to say-"

"Edward, please. You can't keep tormenting yourself." Mr. Schnee said, and Edward looked at his right arm, remembering the accident that took his arm, that turned him into what he is now. "Oz, can you give me and Edward a moment?" Eiss said, and Ozpin nodded and went into another room. "Why do you keep doing this Ed? I could understand if you travelled to clear your head, but it's been over 2 years. If you think you have any debt to me, you've more than repaid it." The Schnee company head asked, and Ed's eyes didn't leave his arm.

"It shouldn't have been me who survived that fire." He said.

"Don't say that Ed. Your father knew what he was doing. He was too good of a man to let his son die." Eiss said. "You know, I'm not the only one who wouldn't mind you going to Beacon." Ed looked up at this.

"You really think that? I mean, it's been two years after all. She probably doesn't want anything to do with me." Ed said, and Eiss smirked.

"On the contrary. After all, the first thing that Weiss does whenever she sees me is ask me how you are. And you should see her when she gets a letter from you." He said, and Ed's entire body language was saying was that he was starting to consider it. A little more prodding would seal the deal. "Please Ed, all I want is to see her happy, and when you started dating Weiss, that was the happiest of seen her since her mother died. She's my greatest achievement, even if she doesn't she it that way." He said. "If you won't do it for yourself, do it for her. Because I know that there is nothing either of you wants more than to see each other again." Eiss said, and a small smile grace Ed's lips.

"Well when you put it like that. His can I refuse?" He said, and Eiss chuckled.

"Good. Oz, I believe you already have a team in mind for him." He said, and said professor out with a tablet in hand.

"Yes. In fact, I believe that given Ed's skills and the skills of this team I have chosen, all five of you will benefit from this." He said, and handed Ed the tablet, and Ed started reading the files on the team.

"Ruby Rose... Blake Belladonna... Yang Xiao Long..." He said, reading aloud, but stopped when he read the final name. A small grin appeared on his face, and steadily grew in size as he read out the last name. "And Weiss Schnee. Can't say I have any problems with this line up. Glad to be aboard, Professor Ozpin."

"Thank you, and we are equally glad to have the famous Emerald Knight attending Beacon." Ozpin said, extending his hand, which Ed gladly shook.
