The time has come for the anime convention and I was dressed as my own of RWBY character, I was wearing a white long open trench coat with a dark blue trim and three gold button on each side just over a pocket, and on my chest was a chest plate along with armor covering my hand and then all the way to my elbow, and more armor from my feet to my knees as for my pants I had pure white dress pants and shoes I had wore white oxford shoes.

As for my hair I got a silver haired wig that reached my waist, I would have went for a shorter one but this was the only silver one they had. Lastly for my face I had fairly pale skin I wasn't much of an outdoors person, and finally my eyes were a light blue.

I was walking around looking around each stall, seeing if there was anything interesting to buy.

Just when I was about to give up, I got an weird feeling from a certain stall, and at the counter their was a guy dressed like the merchant from Resident Evil 4.

I walked up and looked over his items there wasn't anything of interest then he asked. "How may I help you?" He asked but I rubbed my chin.

"No it doesn't look like there's anything that fits my character." I told him and just as I was about to walk away.

"And what is your character I might have something in my boxes you might like." He said so I turned back towards him.

"He is a character I made he is a RWBY character his semblance allows him to create, and control ice, he doesn't really relay on man made weapons, and preferences to make weapons made of ice, such as swords, daggers, spears, or he can just launch spikes of ice." I explained as I continued. "He is many times call the emperor of ice due to this ability but due to his power his body is always cold and he has never really felt the warmth of the sun, he always told how it's like, so he has a deep longing to feel the warmth of the sun even if it's just for a moment." I said telling him a bit of his back story I made for him.

"I think I might have something that might catch your interest." He said as he rummaged through bags and boxes looking for something then he pulled out three weapons the first was a blue revolver with a blade that looked like it extended next was a rather cool pistol blade, and finally was was another gun blade but the gun had a longer barrel and shorter blade.

"I said my character does not like man made weapons." I said.

"Well he can't always rely on his soly on his semblance." He simply said and he was right but if I was going to but one of these I was going to look over the details. I first picked up the blue one, while blue went with my character, Im looking for a practical weapon.

"The weight us nice but since the blade a retractable it means it'll be rather weak, not good for long fight how to fight grims with tougher skin." I said placing it back down to pick up the longer pistol sword. "Little off balance and the blade is rather thin giving it the same problem as the other." I muttered to myself.

"You have an eye for detail." The merchant told me as I went for the last weapon.

"Long barrel good for longer range, and with the shorter blade makes it easier to weild and it's rather strong, but there is also one problem these all share in common." I told him.

"And what is that?" He asked.

"Ammunition with my armor and clothes I don't have anywhere to store ammo, and for many grims it'll take more than six bullets to put them down." I explained as I flipped open the cylinder.

"True but maybe you could use your ice to make bullets." He suggested.

"Then what would serve as the propulsion for them?" I asked him as he was about to say something but stopped to rub his chin.

"I don't know I was just saying what popped in my head but maybe the hammer of the pistol could trigger something to launch them." He suggested.

"I guess that could work I'll take this do you have sheath for it?" I asked, so he handed me it then I played him the money as attaching it to my waist careful not to get my wig stuck, then I got another idea.

"Hey do you have any hats one that matches my clothes?" I asked as he brought out a white Trilby with a dark blue ribbon tied around it.

"I'll take this as well." I said and after I paid for it I put it on.

"Have a good day." I said tipping my hat at him before walking away.

"You too and have a safe trip." He told me and I turned around to see his entire stall was gone scaring me a bit as I looked around for any sign of him, but there was none.

I just decided to forget that happened and carry on with my day. "Our costume contests will begin shortly participants come to the stage." A voice said over the intercom, I had forgotten I signed up for that, i rushed to the stage to see five other people there as well.

I got in line and each of them told everyone about their oc's powers, and back stories then it was finally my turn.

"Contestant number six would you please explain your character's powers or abilities before going into the backstory." One of the judges said so I cleared my throat.

"My character is from the RWBY series his semblance allows him to control, and create ice at will, he usually doesn't like using man made weapons, and prefers to use swords, dagger, and spear made of his ice, but he has a weapon just in case his semblance fails him." I explained showed them the gun blade.

"Ok off to a good start now the backstory." A female judge said.

"My character was born in the atlas kingdom in the north he grew up on the outskirts of the city he was five when his aura unlocked and his life changed because of his power his body was always cold and he could never feel the warmth of the sun. By the time he turned six was the first time he showed his potential by accident freezing the entire house showing his growing power but also his lack of control at first." I said before one of the three judges said.

"And does your character have a name or is this not complete?" He asked.

"Oh sorry forgot to thank you for reminding me, his name is Winter I know not very original because of his powers, but once he joined the academy at 15 he was given the nickname frost by his friends, and later when he graduated at age 17 because of his intelligence and power he was called the ice emperor or emperor of ice however you want to say it." I said finishing the back story.

The judges looked at each other and nodded before the female judge said.

"Would all the proticopents please come to the stage." She said as the other five walked onto the stage, and the judges started talking before they turned back to us.

"Now we will proclaim the winner of this contest." The female said before a drum roll started playing.

"And the winner is contestant 6." She said then the audience started clapping.

Soon they brought out the award that seemed to be a medal but then my vision blurred and it turned into a necklace with a silver chain and at the bottom a pendant with several small diamonds surrounding a blue gem.

"Hey you ok." I heard while being shaken, it was the female judged but I looked back at the necklace to see it turned back into a medal.

"Yeah yeah I'm fine just a headache making me see things." I told him and she gave me a worried look but then took the medal, and put it around my neck.

"Here you go but maybe you should head home you look exhausted." She told me and I was starting to feel it.

"Yeah, thanks I think I'll do that." I told her as I rubbed my forehead.

After that, I headed to my car, I took off my new hat after sitting down, and starred driving luckily I didn't live far away only a three maybe five minutes drive.

I quickly got home almost falling asleep at the wheel multiple times but after I got home I collapsed in a chair, and my entire body started to feel like ice making me shiver, as I breathed out to see my breath was visible.

"Did I leave the AC on or something." I said as I got up to check the temp. It was currently 74 degrees inside the house right now, leading me bewildered as my legs nearly gave out, I got back to the check after grabbing a blanket.

I covered myself to try to get warm but it didn't help at all before I fell asleep.

'So cold.' I heard in my head and reloaded it was a child's voice.

I then realized I was standing up in a dark void but when I turned to my left it was my of but he was a child and around him I could see a wooden floor and a bed he was leaned up against.

'Am I dreaming about my character.' I thought as I approved but then I heard a door open, I turned to my right to see an open door, and a woman standing in it.

She stood up 5 foot 7, with silver hair, green eyes and she wore a long blue dress that went to her knees, her face was smooth and the moment I looked at her I was hit with memories but I knew they wanted mine they were my character's.

"Sweetie what's wrong?" She asked as she rushed over to comfort the child.

"My goodness your freezing." She said as she wrapped him up in a blanket but he still shivered as he breathed out a visible mist.

"Honey come up here please." She called out and soon a man walked through the open door. He stood at 5 foot 9 he had dark brown hair and a beard, his eyes were light blue while dirt was visible on his face he looked over to his wife and child.

"What's wrong is Winter alright?" He asked in a gruff voice.

"No he's freezing.' She told him as he looked around i didint know what but I guessed windows.

"But the windows are shut, keeping out the cold air, and it's warm in here." He said animating the situation.

"I know but look at his breath." The mother said worried as the man looked at his son as he struggled to get warm as he breathed out mist.

"I'll get a doctor, you do what you can to keep him warm." He said as he rushed out the door, and I could hear his hurried footsteps fading away.

"It's alright winter it's ok." The mother said as she hugged him tightly.

About maybe ten minutes later the father came back with a moment she wore a winter coat and glasses, her hair was raven black and her eyes Brown.

She carried a bag with her as she walked over to winter. She out a hand to his cheek, and said. "He's as cold as ice has he been outside?" She asked the mother.

"No he had not been outside all day you know It's always cold here, especially this time of the year." She said as winter hugged his legs, and cover himself tightly with the blanket.

'He's six right now so this must be when he freezes the house.' Thought as the father yelled.

"I knew something was wrong when he turned five, don't you remember he said he couldn't feel the sun's warmth." The father yelled hut his fist on what sounded like a table, then suddenly the whole room came into view, as the sound echoed through the void.

The room was rather large with three windows on the walls, and the fact did in fact hit a table near the bed.

"Yes I remember, and we took him to every doctor we knew but they found nothing." The mother said making him calm down.

Soon after that the blanket started to turn to ice making all three of the adults get away from the bed.

"Winter." She mother said as the ice slowly spread.

"So cold." Was all he could say as the ice started spreading faster.

"We have to get out of here.' The doctor said as the ice was not longer just freezing the bed but was now freezing the walls at an alarming rate.

"She's right." He said but the mother didn't want to leave.

"But what about Winter." She said but then he grabbed her just as the ice almost got her then they both dragged her out as she kicked and screamed.

Soon I was no longer in the house but outside just as they got out, and the exterior of the house was icing up.

Several of the people walking by gasped at the site as they make sure to keep back.

"What's going on here?" Asked a soldier as he walked by.

"We don't know but my son is in there." The mother said as she pointed at the now frozen house.

"Has your son awoken his aura?" He asked but they didn't know.

After that I was moved to another memory but I had a sudden heach as I decided everything that happened from there to here.

They had gotten winter out of the house and found out this is his semblance, it turns out the would get was also a teacher at the academy and said he would vouch for him when he was old enough.

But now he was sixteen, and arguing with the soldier, winter was quite a bit taller now he stood at 5 foot 7 his hair had grown out quite a bit it reached the middle of his back my character licked his hair and preferred to grow it instead of keeping it short.

"I don't want a weapon you know i don't like them." He told the soldier.

"You have to have a weapon if you want to join the academy you can't always survive on solely your semblance no matter how strong it is." He told Winter as he touched the bridge of his nose.

"Ok fine what are my choices?" Winter asked giving up, as the soldier brought out three weapons the same weapons the merchant offered me.

"I noticed how you use mostly your ice sword so I have a selection of gun blades." He said as Winter liked over them and said everything I said about them and choose the third one.

"Ok now what now?" Winter asked him.

"Now we get you enrolled I already told the headmaster a lot about you and he expect much from you." He told Winter as he led him onto the campus.

I was then assaulted by more memories of his battles and lessons that he learned in the academy, and because of his skill in battle in and intelligence he graduated in two short years.

"Today we congratulate Winter for not only his achievements in school but for his contribution for keeping the kingdom of atlas safe from the terrors of the grimms." The headmaster James Ironwood said.

"For many many years they have brought terror to the citizens of every kingdom but now we are looking at an example that there is hope, with hunters like Winter our fight against the terrors known as grimms will be victorious." He. Said though the microphone as the audience cheered and he faced Winter his hair now reached his waist and though his battle he got a few scars on his chest and back but they were hidden under his clothes and armor he now stood at 5 foot 9.

"Today we welcome a new generation of hunters that will soon join the fight." He said handing Winter his diploma, then his parents soon walked up to him soon after he stepped off the stage.

"That's my boy." The father said as he patted Winter back hard, then his mother walked up carrying the necklace I saw before.

"Me and your father saved up enough money to buy you a graduation gift." She told him as she out the necklace around his neck.

"Thank you I'll always keep it close." Winter said as he admired the blue gem, and smiled at them.

I suddenly felt light headed as I fell to one knee, and the surroundings faded away.

My eyes felt heavy, and as my eyes closed I could feel my body become weightless then nothing.
