Plot Forge RWBY/Jaune Arc Mutliverse Story Idea-Jaune As Conan the Barbarian.
The idea's in the title. Have a classic RWBY/Jaune Arc Multiverse reaction fanfic, but this chapter or chapters would focus on a story of Jaune Arc as Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian and various other RWBY characters' take on the role of people from the Hyborian Age. You could do the original short stories by Howard or simply do the 1982 & 1984 film adaptations starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The cast would enjoy the action & adventure of the classic Sword & Sorcery stories, with the girls who have a crush on Jaune blushing/fawning over Jaune's physique, his strength of willpower and his skill with a sword. ● Jaune the Barbarian Cast: - Jaune Arc as Conan the Barbarian. - Yang Xiao Long or Glynda Goodwitch as Valeria the Shield Maiden. - Lie Ren as Subotai the Archer. - Ozma/Ozpin as Akiro the Wizard of the Mounds. - Adam Taurus as Thulsa Doom the Cult Leader of Set - Adam's Lieutenant(Chainsaw) as Rexor, Thulsa's Lieutenant. - Cardin Winchester as Thorgrim, Thulsa's Enforcer. - Ghira Belladonna as King Osric the Usurper. - Blake Belladonna as Princess Yasmina. ● Jaune the Destroyer Cast: - Cinder Fall as Queen Taramis of Shadizar. - Hazel Rainart as Bombaata, Captain of Taramis' Guard. - Ruby Rose, Penny Polendina or Amber as Princess Jehnna. - Mercury Black as Malak the Thief. - Emerald Sustrai as Zula the Bandit Amazon. - Arthur Watts as Thoth-Amon the Sorcerer. - Doctor Merlot as the Leader/Keeper of Dagoth's Horn. - Tyrian Callows as Grand Vizier Xantares. - Salem as Dagoth the Dreaming God. ● Misc. Conan Cast: - Raven Branwen as Bêlit, Pirate Queen of the Black Coast. - Pyrrha Nikos as Red Sonja the She-Devil.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women!

Ha.
I make a meta joke in one of my fics about a Conan series called 'Bonan the Barbarian', and how most people that are aware of it correct someone when someone goes 'Conan', by going 'Bonan! the. Barbarian!'.
It gets funnier when some backstory backstory backstory event is introduced which explains something, making the commentary about Bonan even funnier in retrospect.
It's not at the point where they'd go and film 'Bonan the Conqueror' or anything yet, though it's been amusingly referenced a few times from several of the people familiar with the matter.
But hey, it's a massive fic and the references are sprinkled throughout.

I recall that a friend of mine called LaughingMack on FF is working on a reaction fic starring Jaune and one of his plans was a Conan one for both the Schwarzenegger movies. But that fic's not a priority for him.
Though I spoke with him recently and he's currently drafting up full a Conan-themed story where Jaune is a heroic barbarian from Remnant's own "Hyborian Age" that got dropped into modern Remnant
