Prologue: The Unholy Birth

The world of Remnant is a world filled with wonders in every corner of the world. But there also lies a great danger in the world, creatures of darkness and negativity that cause death and destruction where they go, Grimm. If you were to ask someone where they come from you may get some vague answer.

That's because no one really knows where they come from, except for a select few. They come a woman named Salam, or rather her realm. Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon Academy, has secretly been at war with Salam for millennia. While Salam has any army of Grimm at her command, while Ozpin has his Huntsmen to counter act the Grimm.

While the Grimm are naturally stronger and more unpredictable, the Huntsmen are able to counter and in some cases even surpass them. Why you may ask, it's because Huntsmen are able to utilize there aura, giving them a protective barrier and even a superpower all their own called a Semblance. Well why can't use them as well, simple Grimm don't have souls and are incapable of producing aura by any means.

Salam knew this but paid it no mind, after all she had a seemingly endless supply of Grimm. But as the years went by Salam saw that each new generation of Huntsmen are stronger than the last. Salam saw this and began to think of new ways to end this war. While many of her ideas were the same as always one idea entered her head, the idea of what if Grimm had souls. She thought it was dumb and impossible at first. Grimm can't produce aura for they lack a soul. But the more she thought about it, the more she began to like it more. If she could create a working Grimm soul, then humanity will fall. Humans, that word echoed in her head until she had a terrible thought, "what if it could turn humans into Grimm?", she had a sinister smile on her face as she began to prepare her new creation.
