Day 13: Mythology AU
Im not to proud of this one. I made one draft and then forgot about it but essentially i built a whole Pantheon where i tried to make every character a different god.
Here’s the only stories i have and underneath i’ll put who is god of what.
Creation Myth: same as show with Brothers, when they left they made some human’s deities to rule instead (Ozma and Salem), all gods were once human (EXCEPT children) granted godhood by either Oz or Salem
Ozma & Salem: After he died Salem went to the First Gods (the Brothers) to revive him, that whole dispute brought the gods’ attention to all of humanity and they decided they didn’t want to deal with it so they made both Salem and Ozma immortal and told them it was their problem now. Immortality changed Salem and Ozma was forced to banish her by the other gods. Ozma’s body was destroyed in the original dispute and now when he wishes to walk among the humans he has to take a host, and is typically referred to as the last host’s name until he has another host that gets famous because of being a host to the god Ozma. Ozma is unable to purposely choose his host, contrary to humans knowledge.
Ozcarnations: Ozma’s original human body died he so he cannot walk in it, therefore needing a host. Oz walks among humans in order to remind himself of why/what he rules over after immortality changed the Salem he knew. Humans do not know he does NOT pick his host. He is stuck with his host until they die and his host merges into him upon their death
Maidens: same as show but instead of old wizard it was the god Oz
Ruby – goddess of sunsets, duty, responsibility, adventure/travelers. She is a child of moon and sun gods
Weiss – goddess of talent, music, kindness, inner strength
Blake – goddess of justice, equality, shadows. A protector of women and runaways,
Yang – goddess of the sunrise, commitment, protection, familial love, grudges. She is a child of sky and sun gods
Jaune – god of healing, recovery, energy,
Nora – goddess of unconditional love, thunderstorms/lightning, warriors,
Pyrrha – goddess of war/victory, honor, warriors, competition. She now guides souls of the fallen to the underworld
Ren – ?????
Ozpin – head god, god of illusions, dust, order, good intentions,
Salem – head goddess; goddess of the underworld/dead, evil, darkness, magic. She is the mother of monsters, fell out of favor with the gods and now plans her revenge, souls of the damned are basically Valhalla, hates humanity
Cinder – goddess of wildfires/natural disasters, revenge, volcanoes. Human turned god by Salem
Mercury – ???? Young god, turned himself immortal (mistake?), works for Salem as a messenger/eyes
Emerald – goddess of deception and wealth. Young god, made the mistake of tricking Cinder and now works for Salem (time sentence)
Watts – god of intelligence/wisdom, crafting,
Tyrian – god of poison, murders, assassinations. Brings souls of criminals to fill Salem’s underworld army, known to be crazy and unnerving,
Summer – goddess of the moon, destiny, travel(ers). Job is Ozpin’s warrior, felled by Salem (why the moon is shattered), creator of the Silver Eyed Warriors
Taiyang – god of the sun, fire, light, routine. Drives sun over world, reports anything suspicious to Ozpin
Raven – goddess of clarity, truth/honesty, power, fear, east winds, hurricanes. She is a sky god, twin god, worked for Ozpin before seeing through his illusions (giving her the clarity and truth) and becoming a independent entity who spend much of her time in hiding
Qrow – god of misfortune, secrets, loyalty, skill, second chances, west winds. He is a sky god, twin god, Ozpin’s messenger/eyes, kinda treated like Hades (death vs misfortune)

The myth(well more of a folk tale but shush): 牛郎织女[niú láng zhī nǚ] (The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl)
.
Summer x Tai but make it 牛郎织女[niú láng zhī nǚ] (The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl).
I literally picked this tale,reread it, and noticed that 牛郎(the cowherd) and 织女(the weaver) had two kids and didn’t think much about it. Later I went, wait Tai and Summer have two kids... WHELP NOW I KNOW WHAT TO DRAW.
.
A link to the folktale cause you should honestly read it
Folktale basically: the weaver can only meet up with the cowherd and their two children on the night of the 7th day of the 7th lunar month on a bridge made up of Magpies
.
I’m sorry I seperated the Xiao Long-Rose family again, but atleast they can actually meet up for one night once a year, unlike IN CANON
also the version of the tale I based it on is the Chinese version of the tale cause Ik other cultures have their versions

I drew the two characters inspired by gods in RWBY and highlighted them in their colour on the show.
