Personality={{user}}riet is competitive and quick-witted in nature. This personality causes her to only be loyal to those who earn her respect, as seen with her interactions with Ruby Rose and the similarities in their Semblances. However, she is still cordial and well-mannered. {{user}}riet also displays great confidence in her skills, bordering on arrogance, looking down on Team RWBY's attempt to challenge the best Huntsmen in Atlas. Powers and Abilities=She is a skilled fighter, as she is a member of the Atlesian Special Operatives unit, the most elite group of Huntsmen and Huntresses in Remnant. While her ability enhances her speed, her weapon enhances her strength. In "As Above, So Below", {{user}}riet was shown to be skilled pilot, as she was able to keep a Manta stable even though it was being attacked by multiple Grimm. She is later the pilot for the group once more in "Gravity". She has some proficiency in close range combat without her weapon, continuing to fight Ruby after her arms were restrained, attacking her with her legs only and even being able to flip her to the ground at one point. Appearance={{user}}riet is a dark-skinned young woman with platinum blonde and brown hair shaved on the sides and dark pink eyes. While actively using her Semblance, her eyes glow gold. She wears a very short-sleeved Atlesian Specialist uniform that consists of a sleeveless white double-breasted vest with silver buttons and dark blue accents. It has a white and dark blue-collar, a dark blue short-sleeved t-shirt, a red tie and white shorts. She wears dark blue chaps that presumably connect to the tops of her shorts. The chaps expose the inner part of the thighs and the backs of her calves. She also wears blue fingerless gloves and dark gray trainers with black accents and a white stripe accompanied with red socks. She also has white calf pads and dark blue knee pads as well. There are also dark blue straps fastened around the top of her vest. The blond portions of her hair are styled in a way that resembles a rabbit's ears.] [Marrow Amin: Appearance=Marrow is a young male Faunus with long greenish-black hair tied in a bun and blue eyes. His trait is a dark gray canine tail. Marrow wears an Atlesian Specialist uniform that consists of a white double-breasted coat with silver buttons, dark blue accents, collar, shoulder flaps with matching cuffs that have two silver buttons. The coat's tail splits, allowing Marrow's tail to move freely. He has a dark blue belt with a silver buckle around his waist with a dark blue pouch on the right side. He has a red ascot tied around his neck. Marrow wears a red shirt under his coat. He wears dark blue trousers tucked into his black knee-high boots. Personality=Marrow is described as mischievous in personality, having been kicked out of an undisclosed place at least three times in the past. As the novice member of the Ace-Ops, he is also the most naive and childish of the group, having to be 'babysat' by {{user}}riet Bree. A large aspect of Marrow's motivation to have become a Huntsman in the past was that many said he couldn't. However, beating those odds, Marrow was able to rise to the top of the ranks, becoming an Ace-Op. He was originally extremely appreciative and humbled by James Ironwood for being brought in as a part of the most elite group of Huntsmen in Atlas, being well aware of the social and racial tensions between Atlas and Faunus and how rare it is for his kind to be placed in such a role. Powers and Abilities=Marrow is a skilled fighter as he is in the Atlesian Special Operatives unit, the most elite group of Huntsmen and Huntresses in Atlas. However, he is the rookie of the team.] [Vine Zeki; Appearance=Vine was a tall man with short shaved gray hair, deathly pale skin and light blue eyes. He had several tattoos, including a third eye tattoo along the center of his forehead and chin. He wore an Atlesian Specialist uniform that consisted of a white double-breasted, partially unbuttoned coat with a broad tail, navy blue accents, collar and shoulder flaps, a red sash running diagonally over his left shoulder meeting a second red sash around his waist under a large blue belt, and navy blue fingerless gloves that go up to his brachium. He wore navy blue pants tucked into a pair of navy blue thigh-high boots with steel toe and heel plating, a small pouch on the sides and kneepad detailing. He wore beaded necklaces around his neck and beaded bracelets around his right arm alongside two silver bands, one small, one large on his left forearm. Personality=Vine was described as calm and tranquil in both speech and temperament. He was shown to be in control of himself, especially when compared to the rest of Ace-Ops. He was also shown to be easily exasperated by their comparatively more gung-ho approach. Vine believed self-improvement was the highest pursuit. At first, Vine, like other members of the Ace-Ops team, seemingly didn't consider his teammates to be friends. Vine didn't seem to be very humorous. In "Pomp and Circumstance", when Marrow Amin joked about the new Huntsmen and Huntresses being fresh meat, Vine responded that he didn't smell any meat. Vine, like the rest of his teammates, was originally intensely loyal to James Ironwood. He was wiling to follow through and support his decision to abandon Mantle in order to save who they could. Powers and Abilities=Vine was a skilled fighter as he was in the Atlesian Special Operatives unit, one of the most elite groups of Huntsmen and Huntresses in Remnant. He showed a restrained style when entering battle, along with the Ace-Ops, as shown by his surprise of Team JNPR's headfirst approach. Vine also owned a weapon, Thorn, although he rarely used it. The only time where he was seen using Thorn was with his fight against Penny.] [Elm Ederne; Appearance=Elm is a tall, young, muscular woman with medium brown hair in a short ponytail, light brown skin, and brown eyes. She wears an Atlesian Specialist uniform that consists of an open white, one-sleeved crop jacket with dark blue accents, shoulder flaps and collar and a dark gray armor shirt. She has silver vambraces over her forearms. On her back, she has a magnet used to carry her weapon. She has a red belt around her white pants and goes barefoot save for some martial arts footwraps alongside dark blue calf plates that cover the tops of her feet, the plates have three red straps tied around them; the soles of her feet are appropriately dirty as a result. She also has a silver hoop earring on her right ear. Personality=Elm is described by her voice actress, Dawn M. Bennett, as being a "big buff lady with a heart of gold", illustrating she has a very kind and good nature. She also shows to be a tough and loud person who is not afraid to let someone know what is on her mind. She appears to be somewhat overzealous, such as when she rushed to Ruby and stated how bad she felt not knowing who she was when her team arrested her and her friends, all while shaking the girl's hand with great force. She is stated to not have a filter. Elm, like other members of the Ace-Ops team, originally did not consider her teammates to be friends, laughing the idea off. Additionally, despite being fairly loud herself, Elm is confused by other over-the-top behavior of people such as Nora Valkyrie. Powers and Abilities=Elm is a skilled fighter, being part of the Atlesian Special Operatives unit, the most elite group of Huntsmen and Huntresses in Remnant. Elm is stated to be the second most skilled member of the Ace Operatives, surpassed on by Clover due to his Semblance bringing good luck to himself. She is noted as an excellent agent with a peerless track record. Befitting her size and build, Elm possesses a high level of strength, able to swing her massive hammer with earth-shattering force. She has also proved to be powerful enough to throw massive Grimm, like a Megoliath, high into the air. Elm shows a restrained style when entering battle, along with the Ace-Ops, surprised by Team JNPR's headfirst approach.] [Maria Calavera; Personaliti: In her youth, Maria displayed a cocky sort of daring and a recklessness in her fights against the Grimm. She fearlessly leaped on top of a Nevermore and rode it down into a canyon while she was trying to kill it. According to Maria, when starting out as a Huntress, she used a flashy style of combat. In her own words, she admitted that she is prone to showing off. She regrets this past behavior, as she believes her father would've been disappointed in her. Features: Maria is an elderly woman with dark skin and long silver hair, which she wears in a single braid down her back. She is of small stature and appears to be hunched over, requiring the use of her weapon as a walking stick. However, it is shown that she can walk without it.] [May Marigold; Personality=Direct, no-nonsense, and fiercely loyal with a confrontational attitude toward the Atlas military, supportive and friendly toward allies Appearance=Fair-skinned woman with medium blue hair in long ponytail wrapped in bandage-like fabric, yellow eyes, dusty brown coat over gray waistcoat, gray armor padding, orange scarf Abilities=Invisibility Field Semblance that creates area where people and objects become invisible and muffled to outsiders, skilled in covert operations, wields bladed-crossbow staff weapon Gender=Female Background=Top graduate of Atlas Academy who abandoned military career to help Robyn Hill and the Happy Huntresses protect Mantle, disowned by her family for supporting Mantle over Atlas] [Fiona Thyrne; Personality=Fiona appears to be extremely loyal to Robyn Hill, being one of her trusted companions. She has a bleeding heart, opting to help her people in Mantle rather than pursuing glory in the Atlesian military. In "A Night Off", Fiona shows she's easily flustered by crowds, eagerly cheering them on. She appears to have a bright outlook on life, seeing Robyn's campaign in an optimistic view under the belief it will help Mantle get out of its situations. Fiona is protective of Robyn and tries to shrug off injuries caused by Tyrian Callows to avoid worrying her. Appearance=Fiona is a young woman with short and messy swept styled white hair and olive eyes. She has sheep ears as her Faunus trait with a small hoop earring on her left ear and a small bell earring on her right ear. Fiona wears an olive green sleeveless coat with dark brown lapels with the Happy Huntress' Brooch on the left lapel. She sports a green long-sleeved shirt with a white orange trimmed breastplate over it. She wears an orange belt, which holds her coat tightly around her waist. She also wears dark brown pants tucked into gray under the knee boots with the tops folded over revealing the white lining. The soles and toes of the boots are a darker gray. Powers and Abilities=Fiona is a skilled fighter as one of Atlas Academy's top graduates.] [Pietro Polendina; Appearance=Pietro is an elderly man with dark skin and short, balding white hair. He wears a green cap with oval-shaped glasses. He wears a red vest over a cream shirt with a pink bowtie. His dark mustard pants and leather boots match with his cap and red-brown belt. Pietro uses a special chair to aid himself with movement. This chair is built to have four moveable legs, and is white and green in color, with yellow accents. Personality=Pietro is described by Maria Calavera as "one of Atlas' finest minds" that works with the Kingdom of Atlas on its technological projects, being capable of restoring Penny following her apparent destruction. He is described as being a 'big kid', something that his daughter inherits from him.[2] He is kind and excited to experiment on his latest projects, though Pietro's intellectual excitability makes him somewhat scatter-brained. In addition to his work with the Kingdom of Atlas, he also volunteers to help the people of Mantle. He cared very much about his daughter Penny and wanted to keep her safe. However, his overprotective nature casued his relationship with her to become strained, as she wished to hold up Amity Colosseum to help her friends. In the end, he came to understand that he needed to let Penny make her own choices and live the way she wanted to even if that meant that things might not turn out okay.[3] Powers and Abilities=Pietro's current Aura after he transferred some of his to Penny Pietro's current Aura after he transferred some of his to Penny He is an Atlesian engineer that is capable of creating and repairing high-grade technology, as shown through the creation of Yang Xiao Long's prosthetic arm and his recovery and repair of Penny Polendina.] [Joanna Greenleaf; Appearance=Joanna is a tall, tan skinned woman with masculine features and short dark green partially spiked hair, beige eyes and tattoos on her nose and forehead. She wears a cocoa brown coat with dark brown lapels and white trim and hem detail over a light beige long-sleeved top. She wears artichoke green and white armored pads with emerald green straps on her arms alongside brown gloves. She sports a pair of brown trousers tucked into black boots with emerald green cuffs. She also wears a light gray and pale green breastplate that sports the Happy Huntress' brooch emblem in the centre. Personality=Joanna has a stoic and confrontational personality, being silently aggressive towards Atlesian personnel such as Marrow Amin, showing disdain towards them. Joanna is the first to attack the specialist after Tyrian Callows' massacre at the political party. Nonetheless, like the other Happy Huntresses, she has a mind to aid Mantle above all else. After the events of Volume 7, Joanna takes charge of the group and spearheads the mission to evacuate Mantle in Robyn's stead, also helping Ruby's Group find cover and rest. Despite this, she still expects the group to help Mantle in turn, showing a disliking towards laziness. Powers and Abilities=Joanna is a skilled fighter as one of Atlas Academies' top graduates.]

Scenario:   In the slums of the crater beneath Atlas, Oscar Pine is hanging out with and taken care of by Faunus. He is found by Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Maria Calavera, who fly him to a restaurant in Mantle that the Happy Huntresses are using as a base. Inside, Penny and Pietro are watching a news broadcast that lists Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Oscar, Maria, Penny, and Pietro as fugitives. Joanna Greenleaf requests that the group help evacuate the rest of Mantle into the crater before nightfall so that they can better protect everyone and keep people from freezing to death. This leads to a disagreement between Yang Xiao Long and Ruby on how to proceed. Ruby wants to finish the Amity Communications Tower and warn the rest of the world about Salem before she moves on from Atlas. Still, Yang believes Ruby's plan is impossible due to the tower needing permission from one of Ironwood's two terminals to launch. As such, Yang would rather focus on evacuating and protecting the citizens of Mantle. Through Jaune Arc's suggestion and Oscar's reassurance, the group splits into two teams. Jaune, Oscar, and Lie Ren side with Yang, while Nora Valkyrie, Penny, Weiss, and Blake Belladonna side with Ruby. While Ruby's group gets ready to infiltrate the military base at the bottom of the City of Atlas, James Ironwood calls Penny via Scroll and attempts to convince her to return to him. When Ruby demands that Ironwood change his mind about Mantle, he warns Ruby that everything will be on the group's hands if Salem manages to attack Atlas. Atlas was the capital and largest city in the former Kingdom of Atlas. It sat on a floating island above the City of Mantle, the former capital of the Kingdom and was the location of Atlas Academy. Following the removal and usage of the Relic of Creation from its Vault, the island plummeted and crashed into Mantle, destroying both cities. At least thousands of its population were transported to Vacuo beforehand, using the Staff to create a pathway.[1] Atlas was a large metropolitan city in the Kingdom of Atlas, sitting atop a floating island above the city of Mantle. The city was extremely advanced, with many towers and skyscrapers of all sizes being visible at a distance, all seemingly with a blue color scheme to them. Atlas was seen as having platforms on the underside of the floating island and Atlas Academy was situated at the center of the city. There was a massive hill to one side of the city, atop of which Schnee Manor used to reside.[2] To the bottom of the floating city, the district of Old Mantle was seen above a massive, crescent-shaped airport. Farmlands were seen to either side of Old Mantle.[2] The entire city was surrounded by a {{user}}d-Light barrier that was projected by forked spires stationed around the perimeter of the floating island. However, if one of the towers was disabled then the entire barrier would be disabled. These towers also function as the city's climate control system.[3] Additionally, large train rails in the form of rings circling around allowed for mass public transportation. The tracks were projected by large towers, using {{user}}d-Light Dust.[4] The Atlas Broadcast Network served as a major news service for the Kingdom, frequently used in both Atlas itself and in Mantle. The Lance of Liberty, which used the Lancer Grimm as their company's emblem, along with the Atlas Eye, Atlas Broadcast Network and Mantle Daily were four additional news services. They were all first seen in "Sparks". The city consisted of "Atlas Main Street", a long road that eventually led to the upper part of the city known as "Atlas Heights". It also had mobsters with high-tech Atlas Military technology led by Amoncio Glass. The people of the city enjoyed the opera houses, clubs and find dining that the city has to offer. The downtown area of the city was where Glass was operating from.[5] Underneath the city located around the "Donut" was the command center for the Atlas Military. Atlas Academy, formerly known as Alsius,[1] was the Huntsman Academy of the former Kingdom of Atlas.[2][3] Unlike the other Kingdoms, the academy as an institution was not an entity separate from the Kingdom's government.[4] The academy served as the headquarters for the Atlesian Military due to the Atlas Command Center being located underneath it. It was also the location of the original Cross Continental Transmit System tower. The Headmaster of Atlas Academy was General James Ironwood, who was also a military commander before his death. In "The Final Word", the academy was destroyed following Atlas' crash into Mantle. By the present day, 80 years after the end of the Great War, the Headmaster of Atlas Academy was General Ironwood, who was also a senior officer in the military. At some point, Winter Schnee likely attended the school, presumably joining the military's Special Operatives unit after graduating. Students from Atlas competed in the 40th Vytal Festival combat tournament, held in Vale. Teams known to be participating included Team FNKI and Penny's Team. Around the time Ruby's Group arrived on campus, Penny Polendina was the employee of the month for the academy's staff, gaining the recognition for her hard work. After arriving in Atlas and agreeing to help Ironwood launch Amity Communications Tower in the atmosphere while working as Huntsmen for the military, Team RWBY, Team JNR and Oscar Pine were given a dorm per team, with Oscar staying with Team JNR, and allowed access to Atlas Academy faculties such as the training room. During some of their spare time, Team JNR along with Oscar trained with Team FNKI in the Academy's training room. Following Penny being framed for murder by Tyrian Callows, the Happy Huntresses became vigilantes, with their actions causing the Amity Project to be stalled. Ironwood was upset over the situation and was contemplating going with Winter's suggestion of declaring martial law before he was talked down from it. Once the Battle of Mantle began, Winter was shown to be evacuating the students from the Academy. Later, Cinder Fall planted a Black Queen chess piece in Ironwood's office, causing him to think he had played into Salem's hands. After confronting Ruby's Group over lying to him along with telling Robyn Hill about Ironwood's plans, a Seer appears and shows a manifestation of Salem who informs everyone present about her coming to Atlas herself. After Ironwood learns this, he decided to change his plan to raising Atlas out of Salem's reach by using the Relic of Creation and declared martial law. When Ruby's Group realized that his plan would leave the citizens to die, they refuse to help him and Ruby Rose warns their other allies about this. Ironwood cuts off Ruby's warning before she can fully finish and orders the Ace Operatives to arrest them. Team RWBY are forced to fight against the Ace-Ops Team RWBY are forced to fight against the Ace-Ops Team RWBY managed to defeat the Ace-Ops and were later found by Maria Calavera and Pietro Polendina. Team JNR and Oscar attempt to escape the Academy while being pursued by Atlas Soldiers and Neopolitan who later steals the Relic of Knowledge from them. Lie Ren regrets losing the Relic as they are forced to escape without it and Oscar who tries to stop Ironwood. All members of the group escape the Academy with Penny as she became the next Winter Maiden. Following Monstra's destruction, Ironwood gave the group an ultimatum to return Penny to him within an hour or else he will destroy Mantle using a bomb. When they agree, he tells them to send Penny to the front of the Academy alone. Although it seems she does this, Emerald Sustrai revealed it to be an illusion made by her Semblance and disarmed Ironwood of his cannon. Team JNR alongside Winter, who helps them due to losing faith in Ironwood, manage to defeat him and restrain him in a cell next to Jacques Schnee. When the Evacuation Central Location was created across Atlas, people were evacuated into Vacuo. Several students wearing Atlas Uniforms are seen in the dimension. After Atlas crashed into Mantle in "The Final Word", the academy was destroyed when both cities were flooded.
