Jaune's currently got bubbling down, summoning his shield, and force shields. Shapeshifiting isn't happening yet nor is fusion but they are in the works I think.
As far as next steps -- most of what I have planned from his initial app are support based powers: healing aura and power enhancement. Eventually his force shields will turn into actual force fields -- but that's a bit in development too.
I realized after having him fight some gem monsters though that I don't really have a good offensive ability for him yet. I know eventually I'd like him to be able to upgrade his weapon summoning to involve a sword. But unfortunately RWBY hasn't shown much of Jaune's symblance or powers. He's not the best in combat in canon which is why most of the stuff I thought of was support based.
His namesake is Joan of Arc so something pulling from that wouldn't be bad.
