A long bearded god sat in his realm inspecting the other pantheons with jealously in his eyes. "Hmph, why haven't I found a champion yet! Zeus just found someone who got to be Jon Snow! Not to mention Inanna and all her bullshit champions. That's it, today I'm picking one no matter what!" Screamed the god.
He peered down into the mortal world and found a young man sitting in a bar stacking up an impressive number of bottles. He scanned his surface thoughts and grimaces "that's rough buddy". This god is one of culture.
The young man is well built, bulky would be a better word. He has a decent mind but shit luck running for a job. Ended up landing one in a gym chain so he used the job to workout. After his body got in better shape he started dating a nice girl but she was only interested in the body. That's not necessarily a bad thing until she dumps your ass for your Chris Traeger like manager who is addicted to exercise.
At least you have anime! You thought but now your sitting in a bar drinking away some of your final pay check. The man mumbled about how bullshit rwby was, giving him a shock thinking yang died. Then he started grumbling about winter soldier and the falcon. Giving up the shield?!? What a joke!
As the man sat there enjoying his drinks and pondering about his hobbies he didn't notice the four armed men entering the quiet bar. They threatened the bartender for what's in the cash register so he complied.
One of them spotted the young man so went behind him and out a gun to his head looking for his wallet. The young man sighed, he had a lot to drink so he just thought fuck it!
He elbowed the guy in the nose causing a grizzly *squelch* to echo out. The man freaked out because of the pain so the young man wrestled the gun into his hands and shot one of the other assailants.
The other two didn't like that so shot back, the young man used the first guy as a body shield. When they emptied the clips the young man tossed the empty pistol hitting one of the men in the eye. He yelled and the other was distracted so the young man rushed the guy.
He tackled him to the ground and beat him with the leg of a wooden bar stool. He stopped when he head a "FUCKER!!!" So turned and saw the last guy was bleeding from his eye.
Both men heard a *bang* before their visions began to fade. The bartender pulled a shotty and fired at the guy. The spray hit the mc sending him straight to a gods foot step.
Our mc regained his bearing after a few seconds, a soul can't have alcohol in its system after all. The young man processed that he died, instead of panicking his cultural skills kicked in.
He span around searching for his Rob, instead he got Chris Hemsworth munching on peanuts looking at him. "Thor?" The young man asked hesitantly before the god stood up. "Aye! Tis I, the mighty Thor! I was impressed with you back there so invited you to my section of Valhalla. Let us have words!"
What followed was an exclamation about how the gods are on a recruiting spree for humans. The gods who do it get to expand and have their own pantheons but Thor just wants to be entertained, if I fail he gets to enjoy and if I succeed he gets a drinking buddy.
When asked about who else is in the running thor grimaced. "Inanna, Zeus, Sun Wukong, Amaterasu and uhhhhh Ristarte. That blonde bimbo lucked out with ryuuguuin seiya".
The mc also felt disgust about how an Aqua level goddess was somehow ahead of him. "You sonnova bitch, I'm in!" The man shouted and caused Thor to grin. He lead him to the wheels, one for world, one for method and one for powers.
The mc trembled seeing how Mickey Mouses club house was slightly larger than the rest on the wheel. Thor scratches his head "yeah the mouse is kinda worshipped so became a divine entity. He's scrambling for gods to make a pantheon. If you end up in a disney world he'll either try to poach you or kill you. Or both seeing as it's him".
Yeah that's not happening, so he clenched his non existent cheeks and said " I have the power of God (Thor) and Anime on my side! Rahhhhhh!" And spun the wheel.
It ticked along rapidly due to the force the young man put into it. It finally stopped on Rwby which made the young man flinch. He processed it and went over the options. Timeline? Au? How to handle Salem? Is Yang truly Bi? Questions for later. Thor heard his thoughts so checked the world out of curiosity.
"Yeah she's bisexual boi. You may have a chance depending on your next spin. So? Powers or transport next?"
"Powers!" Yelled the man as he spun the next wheel which blurred before stopping on: Steve Rodgers, Marvel! The boy didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The Super Soldier would normally be amazing to have, but in an anime verse he ain't that powerful.
Thor then spoke "yeah the serum would only give you a slight head start in rwby. Aura and the biology of the people there are a game changer. Not to mention semblances and Magic users~ on the plus side his experiences as a fighter in several martial arts, firearms and super natural combat would come in handy. All you have to do is adapt to your body and condition it."
"Can I get the shield?" The young man asked with puppy eyes so Thor grinned "you can build your own~" which caused the young man to click his tongue. He reluctantly went to the last wheel decided how he gets there.
Reincarnation, transmigration or something in between. Which character will he possess or will he be his own person. Meh~ if he becomes a female it just means he'll have to track down someone with a semblance to invert genders.
He spun the wheel which landed on reincarnate into Jaune Arc. Aww damn it! I'm a super soldier Arc. Cliche~ Also Jaune's background will make it hard to train with all those sisters running around and the over protective partners looming over him.
While Jaune processed his options he failed to notice Thor behind him spreading his legs and lowering his stance. Mjolnir was in his hands and he was swaying it back and forth. Thor licked his finger and raised it to test the wind before nodding to himself.
As Jaune kept thinking he was snapped out when he heard "Four!!!!" and turned just in time to see a lump of Uru smack him across the face sending him hurtling out of the realm into the void. Thor raises his hand to his eyebrows to see if he hit Jaune in the right direction before nodding to himself and getting back to whatever it was he was doing before.
Meanwhile the soul flew down towards remnant, it saw the shattered moon much closer than it would have liked. It got to see all the types of dust still within the moon as it barrelled down to Mistral?
Huh I assumed he would have been from Vale, well it was mentioned that his family had camping trips in Anima which is fairly close. The soul flew towards the outskirts of Mystral towards a large mansion in the middle of nowhere. The family inside looked fairly well off.
The soul passed through the walls and impacted a small boy who for some reason has scrunches in his hair making it look like he had twintails. That's not a good look on a man thought the soul as it assimilated into Jaune.
The original just fainted onto the ground suddenly so the assimilation could begin. Saphron, his older sister screamed watching Jaune pass out on the ground. The last thing they heard was heavy steps belonging to Jaunes father as he ran to check his son. What a caring family thought the soul as he compared the arcs to his previous family.
