Choosing what comes after Semblance of Emotion! (Patreon)

Poll time has come again, and this time you will get to choose which of these two ideas will take the slot of Semblance of Emotion when that story finally ends. Now that isn't to say that Semblance of Emotion is ending soon because it isn't! It still has a long way to go before completion, but I thought I'd get this out there now, so I have an idea where I'm going next.

These two ideas have some similarities. They're both complete AU's and have fantasy settings, though one is inside a game and one isn't.

Here are the options.

Option 1: Fantasy Remnant AU. Your typical monsters and knights and mages story, with adventurers and guilds, and potential world ending threats. May have very light RPG elements. Things like levels or classes, abilities, that sort of thing. I actually have a ton of different ideas for this one and may need a poll of its own to figure out which one I write, but here are some of them so you have an idea about what will be written.

Idea 1: Jaune flunks out of his prestigious adventurer school when he is unable to unlock his semblance(unique magic power/class) before graduation, so he gets left behind by all his friends. Story of Jaune finding his way in the world the hard way and clawing his way to the top despite all the obstacles that are put in his way.

Idea 2: A story of revenge. Jaune is taken under Pyrrha's wing when he is a budding adventurer but a year into their travels, tragedy strikes. Pyrrha is killed(?) before his eyes, and he almost dies too. But he survives and vows to avenge her death, and take down those who were involved. But it is a lot easier said than done, because there are powers and politics at play well above his station, and the only thing keeping him safe is the belief that he also perished that day.

Idea 3: Jaune Arc is a Paladin, though the deity he swore his vows to isn't your typical one. Salem, the Goddess of Love and Lust, Light and Dark grants him many blessings, and in turn, gives him the ability to bless the world in her name; be it through love, or through lust. A much more lighthearted story.

As of now, they would all be Jaune/Harem but could change for the first two.

Option 2: Modern AU/Game Fantasy World. Jaune has been playing the massively popular MMO 'World of Remnant' for years now, and the latest expansion pack is due to drop. But when the countdown reaches zero, he finds himself waking up in a foreign yet familiar world.

It's hard to say much more about it without spoiling major plot points, but I think I have some pretty cool ideas for it that will tie back into RWBY canon; Ozpin and Salem, and the Brother Gods. Obviously similar to many isekai ideas. If I had to point to the biggest inspiration, it would be Log Horizon. So think of that rather than something like Sword Art Online. A story where game systems begin to blur and even fall away as time goes on.
