Now, I've filled out Jaune Arc's family myself because again... We've only met one sister. Never met his parents. And while a lot of fics like to fill out his other sisters with crossovers... I suggest we go bigger.
Every member of Jaune Arc's family is an expy, a crossover, and there are a LOT of them. And they just keep popping up all over Remnant! Because the Arc family is at least as prolific as the Duck family in the Milton Banks Donald Duck comics. Even more so!
So, to start us off...

"Uggghhh," Ruby moaned. She sniffled over the box, the coffin for her poor, poor baby. She was dressed all in black, and loudly blew her nose with one of Jaune's thoughtfully provided handkerchiefs.
"Dearly beloved," she announced to the six other people in the Bastinda Memorial Gardens, "We are gathered here to pay our final respects to my most beloved, trusted friend ever..."
"Gee, thanks," Weiss grumbled.
"Crescent Rose!" Ruby sobbed. Nora was crying right alongside her, and patted her on the back. Yang looked caught between deep concern and amusement. Blake was unreadable. Pyrrha was trying her damnedest to smile politely. Ren was using his Semblance so hard he was nearly black and white.
"Why can't she just fix it?" Blake asked.
"The part that goes with it is no longer produced," Yang sighed, "And Dad won't spot her the money to machine a new one."
"But he will spot her the money for a new weapon?" Weiss asked skeptically.
"Well the school will help with that, not the spare part-It's complicated," Yang sighed.
Ruby sniffled, as Nora patted her on the back.
"Why... Why must the good die young?" Nora sobbed.
"Where's Jaune?" Ruby mumbled, looking like her heart was breaking, "I-I thought he'd be here..."
"Wow, he finally found something better to do with his time," Weiss scoffed. Yang elbowed her. "OW! What?"
"He said he was seeing a relative-" Pyrrha tried, but the blond soon rounded a corner.
"WAIT! WAIT! HANG ON!" He shouted. Following close behind him was a very old man, much shorter than Jaune. Yet he kept pace easily with the teenager... Though panted just as hard as they arrived at Crescent Rose's "coffin". His hair was stark white and waved back in a tightly wound ponytail. His beard was neatly cut. His eyes were yellow, almost gold, and his chin was rounded on his strong jaw. He wore a simple white button up shirt, black waist coat, black slacks, and boots... As well as white gloves. One wrist was obviously flesh, but the other barely concealed metal.
"Haa... Haa... Sorry Ruby," Jaune said, "I told my Great-Great-Uncle Ed about it, and he insisted we come!"
"Haa... Haa... Haaa... Lemme catch my breath," Ed said. He stood up and groaned. "Ooh... Damn, not as spry anymore..."
"Come on Grunkle Ed," Jaune laughed, "You're spryer than any other one hundred and twenty-year-old man I know!"
"Heh, you're right about that, kid," Ed chuckled.
"ONE HUNDRED TWENTY YEARS OLD?!" Most of team RWBY and JNPR cried. Ed sighed.
"Yes, yes, good healthy living, activated Aura, and my wife makes me take yoga. Pain in the ass is what it is,"
He chuckled.
"Though it does let Winry and me have some fun in the bedroom-"
"GRUNKLE ED!" Jaune groaned. Ed cackled like a banshee.
"Aw come on! You know how are family is! Where do you think all your uncles and aunts came from? Now, let's see, what's the device in question?"
"Um... Here, sir," Ruby said, pointing down to Crescent Rose. Ed knelt down, and pulled on a pair of glasses. He huffed.
"Ugh... Hand me a screwdriver, will ya girly?"
"S-Sure!" Ruby said worriedly, "But what are you going to do?"
Ed worked quickly, and pulled out the component in question. Well, what was left of it. It had burned out. Ed examined it carefully, and hummed. He looked over at Jaune.
"Boy! You don't look like you're doing anything important!" He barked. "Get me a fork, some wires, and some tungsten-"
"Right here, sir!" Ruby said quickly, handing the components over. Ed raised his eyebrows.
"Hmmm... I like you, girly," Ed said. "All right..."
He carried the materials to a stone table, and set them all down. The teams gathered about, as Grunkle Ed clapped his hands together... And then held them over the various materials.
A red light shone from his hands as archaic symbols glowed on the back of his hands. In a flash, the raw materials were gone and a new component lay in its place. Ruby gasped.
"It... How...?"
"Grunkle Ed's Semblance is called 'Transmutation'," Jaune said with a proud grin, "He shares it with Uncle Alphonse! It lets him basically make anything he wants-OW!"
Ed had punched Jaune in the arm with a scowl.
"Hardly! It requires a lot of math, hard work, and studying!" He huffed. "You all from Arturia's branch of the family... Swords and more swords, bah! Ever thought about using your brains for once?"
"Fighting with a sword and shield takes brains too," Jaune grumbled.
"Feh! Should've come study under me," Ed harrumphed, "Would've made you fight like an Elric-Arc!"
Ruby installed the device, and held up Crescent Rose. It mechashifted flawlessly into its sniper mode, then back into it's scythe mode. With a happy gasp, she turned to Jaune and Ed, tears in her eyes.
"Oh... Th-Thank you! Thank you so much!"
"Thank Jaune, I'm married," Ed chuckled.
"Wha-MMPH!"
Ruby kissed Jaune right on the lips. Yang gaped, Ren stared, Blake blinked, Weiss gasped at the scandal, Pyrrha glared, and Nora whooped.
"WOOHOO! ONE OF MY SHIPS! YAY!" She beamed at Ed. "Wow! Great work, Grunkle Ed!"
"No problem," Ed grinned, "Anything for one of my favorite nephews... Even if he is dumb. Still! I suppose if he married Ruby, it would even things out for their kids-"
"M-Marry?!" Pyrrha gasped in horror.
"Well, um, it's very impressive that you can do that," Weiss said with a nod.
"Yeah, heh," Yang chuckled, though she was definitely shooting glares at Jaune, "You really didn't come up short!"
Jaune's eyes widened and broke the kiss.
"Yang, No-Grunkle Ed-She didn't mean-!"
Ed laughed.
"Aw, relax kid! I'm over that!" The ancient man waved a hand, "I'm not so sensitive anymore!"
"To what? Short jokes?" Yang asked.
"Yup," Ed said with a nod. "Especially when a beautiful young woman says it."
Yang blushed.
Jaune sighed in relief.
"Oh good, I was afraid your temper was still short after-"
Grunkle Ed shifted his mechanical arm into a gun and pointed the barrel in the terrified Jaune's face.
"WHAT?! ARE YOU CALLING YOUR BELOVED GRUNKLE A TINY LITTLE PIPSQUEAK THE SIZE OF AN ANT?!"
"N-NO! OF COURSE NOT!"
"GOOD! KEEP IT THAT WAY!"

Feel free to make your own!
And in case you missed it?
This is Jaune's Great-Great Uncle, though he just calls him Grunkle for short.
