'''''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12305044/1/AQUA-The-First-Step AQUA: The First Step]]''''' is a ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' FanFic written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7334799/Anonymous-Jonin Anonymous Jonin]].
The fic centers on Alexander Wallace, a subject of the Jaeger Program, an attempt by Dr. Polendina to create a hundred of the greatest Huntsman on Remnant. Sadly, things go bad when he's replaced by [[GeneralRipper Commander Vasilyevich]], who devotes their efforts into killing Faunus and Faunus sympathizers. Alexander proves to be the sole survivor of the program, and personally kills Vasilyevich before being rescued by General Ironwood.
From there, the fic chronicles Alexander's life as he attends Beacon Academy, rejoins the Atlesian Military, and eventually gets involved in the fight against Salem.
!!''AQUA: The First Step'' contains examples of the following tropes:
-----
* BullyHunter: At one point, Amber comes across a group of people bullying a dog Faunus and beats the ever-loving crap out of them.
* TheDogBitesBack: After enduring Vasilyevich's cruelty for over a year, Alexander ultimately rallies the remaining kids in the Jaeger Program to fight back against him; he proves to be the only survivor, and personally kills Vasilyevich before broadcasting the outside world for help.
* FatherlyScientist: Dr. Polendina was beloved by all of the children in the Jaeger Program, visiting them once a week and teaching them social skills.
* GeneralRipper: Vasilyevich is noted by Dr. Polendina to be one of the ''worst'' commanders the Atlesian army has ever seen, known to [[WeHaveReserves unnecessarily sacrifice his own men to ensure a victory]]. Under his lead, the Jaeger Program is perverted and set up as an anti-Faunus assassin group, and all but Alexander are either killed after attempting to escape or commit suicide.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Alexander ends up partners with Amber during their Beacon Academy days, and eventually develop this kind of relationship. Amber even remarks at one point that she's Alexander's sister "in all but blood."
* TheMole: Blake ends up becoming one to Alexander for the White Fang as part of an immunity deal. When she eventually [[DefectorFromDecadence decides to leave]], Alexander pulls some strings to get her into Beacon.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: According to Dr. Polendina, the only reason Commander Vasilyevich still had a job in the army despite his GeneralRipper tendencies is because [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Jacques Schnee]] backed him up, bribing people and pulling strings to keep him employed.
* SherlockScan: Alexander is able to quickly deduce that General Ironwood is a {{cyborg}} due to his ConspicuousGloves, [[TheNoseKnows the smell of hydraulic fluid]], and the sound of gears when he moves.
