Description
RWBY vs Persona 3''. In a fight between the male part in a tragic love story with a red head, who will join his loved one?''

Interlude
'''Wiz: Love is for everyone. Even a fool may find his perfect mate.'''

Boomstick: But sometimes fate is a bitch and the two lovers are seperated before they could do anything together. And two such lovers are duking it out in the ring today.

Wiz: Jaune Arc, huntsman in training and leader of team JNPR

Boomstick: And Junpei Iori, baseball fan and persona user

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapon, armor and skill to find out who would win a death battle.

Jaune Arc
Boomstick: Beacon academy. A place full of growing kids who wants to kill monsters.

'''Wiz: They all share the same dream, becoming a huntsman. And one of these guys in training is Jaune Arc. '''

Boomstick: This vomit boy...

Wiz: Boomstick!

Boomstick: Hey, that's one name he is called.

Wiz: But that doesn't mean you have to call him that.

Boomstick: I'm allowed to. I'm a professional.

'''Wiz: Anyway. Jaune was not only accepted in Beacon Academy, he also became leader of his own team, team JNPR. '''

Boomstick: Yeah, that's how I like it. You cheat and get far in life. If only that would work for me.

'''Wiz: During his time at Beacon he met the perfect girl, Phyrra Nikos. Like a soap opera the perfect girl and the slacker want to get together, heck she even trained him. '''

Boomstick: Even in his darkest hours, the red head girl stood to her leader.

'''Wiz: You see, Jaune snuck his way into the school, he never took any tests or anything like that. And still nobodys care for that little detail. '''

Boomstick: When you are strong enough to hold a weapon, you can fight against Grimm. Simple as that. And Jaune uses Crocea Mors, a sword and shield combo passed down in his family. Staying by the basics I call that.

Wiz: In a world where everyone has a gun and a melee weapon in one combination, that is a rare sight.

Boomstick: And besides their age, these weapons are still usefull. He can block blows from Ursas and even a Death Stalker without much problem.

'''Wiz: And if that isn't enough, he can turn the shield into a scabbard to store his sword. Multiuse indeed. '''

Boomstick: And next to his weapon he has his Aura. Some kind of invisible damge healing shield.

'''Wiz: Unlocked by his love interest Phyrra Nikos, his Aura will heal all wounds inflicted to him. '''

Boomstick: Like Wolverine.

'''Wiz: Jaune also has a Semblance, a unique power every living being with a soul has. But his is an unknown at this point of the story. It may be a protective semblance to reduce or even negate damage, but that is unsure. '''

Boomstick: As a huntsman in training Jaune can hold his own against diffrent kinds of Grimm, including a giant Death Stalker. He has lead his team into the finals of the Vytal Festival Tournament. He was able to defeat a giant Ursa by himself, a feat not many huntsman in training can copy.

'''Wiz: But he is not perfect. His aura is finite and like it was said, his semblance is mostly an unknown factor. He is incredibly clumsy and kind of a wimp. '''

Boomstick: He may be a decent swordman, but he is missing any ranged weaponry.

Wiz: But never underestimate this teamleader, because he will stand up for his team.

''Jaune: I don't care what you do to me... But you are not messing with my team!''

Junpei Iori
'''Wiz: Iwatodai. A manmade island in the middle of Japan with a high school for the high of society. And one student is Junpei Iori. '''

Boomstick: Junpei is the class clown of the class 2-F and sort of a casanova. He is also a slacker in class, even sleeping during a test. Hehe, good times.

'''Wiz: But this guy with a lucky attitude has also another side. A darker side.'''

Boomstick: He is Batman!

'''Wiz: Boomstick! He is not Batman!'''

Boomstick: But the dark secret.

'''Wiz: Junpei is a Persona User. A Persona is the physical manifestation of your soul, which the Persona user can summon using a device called an evoker.'''

Boomstick: That's a gun!

'''Wiz: No. It was modeled after a gun, but it is not a weapon. '''

Boomstick: Just sad. I mean, he shoots himself in the head with this thing. If this was the real deal, he would be unkillable.

Wiz: Junpeis Persona is Trismegistus of the Magician arcana, a fusion between his original persona Hermes and the persona of his crush Chidori Yoshino, who died in his arms.

Boomstick: Why? Why did she have to die?

Wiz: As a persona user Junpei is capable of operating during the Dark Hour, a time period between 12:00:00 and 12:00:01 and fight Shadows, monsters who feed on peoples mind.

Boomstick: Trismegistus brings a whole new meaning to the sentance "Burn, baby, burn!". His primary element is fire, which allows him to use spells like Agi, Agilao and Agidyne, which, well attacks the opponent with fire.

Wiz: But his persona knows also a wide array of physical skills.

Boomstick: How, I mean he is a magician?

'''Wiz: Don't ask. Trismegistus can use Cleave, Assault Dive, Double Fangs, Kill Rush, Torrent Shot, Blade of Fury, Gigantic Fist, Death Bound and Vorpal Blade to attack either a single target or a whole group of enemys. '''

Boomstick: And theres more. With High Counter he can redirect damage from a physical attack with a chance of 50%, Fire Break makes immunity to fire useless and Rakukaya increases his defenses.

'''Wiz: His most unique skill however is Spring of Life, a skill he inhereted from Chidoris Persona Medea. It heals every turn 8% of his HP. '''

Boomstick. Since most of his attacks relay on his physical health, that makes him a dangerous foe.

'''Wiz: His weapon of choice is a baseball bat. '''

Boomstick. A bat?

Wiz: Besides the well not so impressing sight, the baseball bat is able to damage mechanical beings like Aigis and Labrys, can hold his own against swords, and according to Junpei himself, he can even hit bullets out of the air with it.

Boomstick: What a player. And since he is one of the earliest Persona users in the game, he has tones of feats going for him. He is capable to dodge lightning, can stand up to beings like Nyxs Avatar and Erebus and even without much former training took out giant shadows.

'''Wiz: But he has also limits. He has only a limit amount of HP and SP, when empty his Persona looses much of his deadly attacks. And since most of his attacks costs HP, it is always a risky gamble in a fight. '''

Boomstick: He doesn't seem to take battling Shadow too seriously, with exception from the big ones, and he was deceived by his enemys once. Damn, another West Side Story. Can you imagine Junpei and Chidori sing?

Wiz: But it doesn't matter what comes, Junpei will stand by his friends side until the very end.

''Junpei: Damn show-off... If I don't do this, I'll lose my man card!''
