New art of Chae-Yeong, this time by @lizardinkart! She looks so lovely in their style, and I love getting to see her come to life like this. Plus, look at all those gorgeous little details!

Tonight I’m doing an early birthday celebration with my family since my dad goes out of town tomorrow, and they gave me this pretty ring I’d been wanting! It’s the one on the ring finger, and it’s made with vermeil, so it’s the perfect wedding ring for me and Chae-Yeong

Poll 27

Chae-Yeong Vermeil (@eumenidaes) vs. Connie Andes (@sixofshadowandbone)

501. Chae-Yeong Vermeil (@eumenidaes)

she/her

Chae-Yeong a milf that has a background in ballet and can kick your ass. She’s also the ethical mythical billionaire, still being rich despite the fact that she is constantly giving money away and trying to make life easier for everyone. She’s very focused on justice and rehabilitation for others, and even though most people see her as being pretty airheaded, she’s very well regarded by others and known for her kindness. She also is a little bit traumatized and mentally ill and decided to become a vigilante called the Scarlet Shepherd about it. And she has fangs. Basically she’s queer autistic milf Batman      

Chae-Yeong is a 6 foot 4 woman in her mid forties with a square jaw and some visible muscle on her arms and legs. She has pretty light skin and while she’s a quarter Korean, she looks completely white. She has thin red eyes, thick eyebrows, and she has some crows feet around her eyes. She usually wears a dark wig with white streaks framing her face, and her real hair is about the same color but with more gray streaks and styled mostly short. She has snake fangs that are retractable and her left arm from the elbow down and left leg from the mid thigh are prosthetics, though she usually hides that. She dresses in a dark red button up tucked into her pants to show her bra and big boobs and wears a white coat with space patterned trim over that. She has on heeled boots designed to resemble ballet slippers in reference to her past as a ballerina, and she wears some gray gloves

Meet Connie, the product of my incessant need to create opposing character traits. she's got it all: the oversized unconventional hammer, smugness only an overpowered short girl can carry, and an unparalleled protective nature. What else would you need from a character?

[eumenidaes]

Would you like some more propaganda for Chae-Yeong Vermeil in the @original-character-championship? Well do I have the almost 150k ongoing fic for you!

Art by @choco-bunni/@choartsu on here (also Choartsu on twitter!)

Chae-Yeong is one of the main characters of my rwby age swap au (read it here!), which basically lets her be a little more unhinged than usual bcs she's not as mature and in her control of herself at 18 as she is in her 40s. She gets to be in a fight club and also go stop crimes to avoid addressing her trauma. And she gets to have a little bit of female bonding and a guy thinking she's the most incredible person in the world too <3

Remember to vote Chae-Yeong here!

[aceironwood]

I just got a commission of Miss Chae-Yeong Vermeil for my RWBY age swap AU done by @thesmolbean3 (also on twitter at @/thesmollbean3)! Thank you so much to them for bringing my beloved OC to life

The students’ field trip may be drawing closer, but classes are still in swing and so are sparring matches. Chae-Yeong and Tyrian face off, and plans grow closer to being set in action

[aceironwood]

With this most recent chapter being very centered on Chae-Yeong, here’s a character sheet that I made for her.

Spoilers for Volume 1 - Chapter 11 of OCIN: Beacons of Hope under the cut!

Amber can't sleep during Team OCIN's first night in Mountain Glenn. So instead, she, James, and Chae-Yeong have a chance to reflect on their talks with Professor Scarlatina earlier in the day

[aceironwood]

Hi again! You're a fan of Ironwood, yes? Do you agree with the direction CRWBY had taken him on in the show? What made you so interested in IW in the first place, and how would you have him grow beyond the Atlesian mindset that had him stagnant in the show, in your fic? I'm worried about the allusions you gave him and Chang, as at the end of that story, both the ballerina and the soldier both died, even if they are together in death. Will you give them a kinder ending? Are there any romance You're planning in this fic, and how much are you going to show it? I don't mind romance, as long as it's done well.

Yeah, I am a huge fan of Ironwood, and I honestly think the direction CRWBY went with him in the show was great. Part of the appeal for me of him is that he’s a character who could have done the right thing, but he ended up screwing himself over because of his extreme loyalty to Atlas and all of its ideals. In many ways, I feel like he exemplifies a lot of what we see of Atlas (tho I am a firm believer that he’s not racist), and that culture of repression, celebration of military strength, and the general valuing of the kingdom over its common people is what doomed him. Then I got even more into him when I was running a RWBY based TTRPG that was set in Atlas, with him being a major player there (and that’s also what Chae-Yeong was originally made for!). He’s a tragedy, and I love that about him, even if I do like to sometimes think about what would have happened if he had managed to overcome his own ego and ask for help

also i think he’s attractive

The rest will go under the cut bcs I love talking lol

But that then also leads some to the differences that will come in OCIN from his show counterpart. I think that part of why he’s Like That is because he’s so deeply emeshed in Atlas and it’s culture, so going to Beacon rather than Atlas starts putting him down a different path. There’s also the factor of time-- since he’s only 17 when the story starts, he hasn’t had nearly enough time to get stuck in his ways in the same way his canon version is. And then there’s also the major factor that is him not being the leader of OCIN. I know it’s not canon, but imo there was no way he wasn’t his team leader back when he was a student at Atlas, so him not being team leader here puts him in a different direction. He doesn’t have authority, and instead has to learn to operate in more of a support role than as the hero rushing in and saving the day. And based on what we see of him in the show, him working in a support role is when he helps people on a broad scale the most

And yeah, the Steadfast Tin Soldier doesn’t have the happiest ending lol. Not to worry for this story though-- those allusions definitely are more accurate for how I invision them in the canon timeline. I think that when Ironwood goes down with Atlas, Chae-Yeong would too. Like the Tin Soldier and the Paper Ballerina, they both die, but they do it together there

In this, though I think their ending will be much happier. I can see them one day settling down and having a family together (tho of course not until Salem is dealt with)

And that leads into the romance question. The players in my rwby ttrpg already know, but in that I have Ironwood and Chae-Yeong as a couple, and I am deeply invested in that relationship. It will happen eventually in the age swap too, tho it won’t be appearing as a full relationship for a good while. There will also probably be some other relationships, but I generally speaking romance will not be the main priority here and like in the show, I want to make sure that everything feels naturally built up to

The Beacon dance is here, and Amber’s more than ready for a night of fun after everything else that’s happened this school year. Turn out for the dance is great and there’s plenty of opportunities for students to get some time alone with their crushes

[aceironwood]

Some fun facts from the newest chapter of OCIN, “Burning the Candle”

Ozpin, Amber, and STRQ playing Remnant Quest was a reference to how RWBY played a board game together back during Welcome to Beacon in canon and the DnD themed merch for the show

Amber was playing a sorcerer, Summer was playing a cleric, Taiyang was playing a paladin, Raven was playing a rogue, and Qrow was playing a fighter

James is lactose intolerant, which is why he always gets almond milk with his coffee. And his preference for peppermint mochas is in reference to how he’s canonly said to like mint chocolate ice cream

Remember how Chae-Yeong was protective of her music box way back in chapter 9? That’s the same music box she mentions this chapter as being a gift from her dad
