So it seems I've been dragged over here to fill in a spot on one of the teams. My profile for one of the GMs to look over.

Name: Beryl Harken
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: Otter Faunus
Weapon: At the center of Beryl’s combat abilities is an elegant sword named Stream, a beautiful curved blade that appears to glisten in the light much like it’s namesake. With a golden hilt inlaid with aquamarine gems, every inch of the blade evokes the image of a current of water flowing through the air. The silver blade curves towards the very end and is inlaid in an archaic Mistralese script. As if to further evoke it’s namesake, strands of gold from the hilt crawl up the sides of the blade, blending into the metal blade like rapids in a stream.

However Stream is not just a pretty weapon, with the simple press of a button the blade extends into many small pieces connected by a thin string of carbon nanofiber. In this form the blade is akin to a whip, that Beryl is capable of expanding and contracting at will. If the sword form of Stream is a strong current cutting through the rapids, the whip form is a whirlpool of water devouring and capturing all that lies in its wake.

The final trick up Stream’s arsenal is the ability to infuse it with dust rounds adding an extra layer of versatility to an already formidable and beautiful weapon.
Specialty: The lack of a gun form consigns Beryl to a mid to close range assault on enemies. While for some this might be tricky, Beryl is capable of navigating the center of the battlefield with ease. Through the use of her semblance and weapon she is capable of manipulating the flow of enemies whether through ensnarement, redirection, or a myriad of other tricks. In this way Beryl keeps the battlefield more manageable for her team and ensures their continued success.

However if crowd control isn’t required, Beryl is more than adept at inflicting large doses of damage thanks to the lacerating effects of her blade or the dust rounds stored within. Thus if need be Beryl can quickly chop individuals or crowds of enemies down as she cuts through the battlefield. In this way her high damage output can make quick work of particularly troublesome opponents.
Semblance: Aqua Vitae - Beryl is capable of detecting water as well as controlling it in a telekinetic fashion. This flows well into her usage of Stream as she coats it in a thin sheet of water while in segmented form allowing for a much finer level of control than would otherwise be possible.
Personality: Like water, Beryl is one who goes with the flow of life, she tends to be a little laid back and easygoing allowing each day to flow on past. However while she may be rather relaxed, one should not confuse this with a lack of conviction, push too hard in one direction or another and Beryl will push back just as hard. The strength of her conviction can perhaps be best seen in her tireless crusade against injustice. Beryl is the first to fight for the oppressed and defend those she sees being trampled. The one thing that Beryl can not stand is injustice and engaging in such deplorable acts is the surest way to acquire her wrath.

Much of Beryl’s hatred to injustice comes from her upbringing as a rather devout follower of the Church of Mistral. She strongly believes in the church’s calls for charity, tolerance and courage. As such, Beryl often applies such teachings to her daily life and thus treats all people with the same level benevolence and kindness. In fact it is not uncommon to see Beryl praying before battles or looking towards her religion for guidance. Ultimately, Beryl’s religion is a very fundamental aspect of her core being.

Of course none of this should dissuade the notion that Beryl is deprived of fun, on the contrary Beryl greatly enjoys life and all the fun it provides. In terms of hobbies she greatly enjoys listening to music on her Sonee Strollman, which possesses a vast library spanning many genres. In addition she greatly enjoys swimming and spending time in the water, as well as travelling across many different locales. As one could probably surmise from the aforementioned, Beryl is a lover of the outdoors.
Color: Aquamarine
Emblem: A streak of aquamarine in a sort of thin "S" shape.
Appearance:


Somewhat on the taller side at 5' 10" Beryl is usually seen wearing loose athletic clothing, blue jeans and a black T-shirt being the most common. Instead of the ears that most Faunus have Beryl has a rather muscular tail extending from the base of her spine that is the same glossy black as her hair.


If @Prince Of Seraphs finds no issue, then you have my blessing.

@Silvan Haven Stream, Aqua Vitae, Aquamarine, whirlpool... I'm sensing a pattern.

I like the character and it all looks good.

One problem and @harinezumikouken correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we already have a character that had water control powers?

Eklipse's character: Krysanthe. I know because she's the one who just kicked my character's ass in the combat class. Though, I don't know the specifics of her water powers so it's probably best to look it up and see if there are any similarities. If I remember correctly though, her water powers weren't connected to her semblance.

Did a search, doesn't look like anyone else has a water-based semblance.

Lugubrious has a rule that states that no two active Player Characters should have the same semblance. We had a guy at the beginning of the new chapter rage quit when Lug pointed out that his semblance was almost identical to Blake Belladonna's and asked him to change it.

Yeah, no one else has a water-based semblance. Krysanthe has water based attacks but that comes from her weapons, her semblance is gravity.

My mistake. In that case @Silvan Haven I have no problems with your character. Since I think Lug is on hiatus I believe with mine and Hari's consent your in.

To be fair, even if there was an overlap visa vis water Semblances, being of the same type doesn't mean they're the same Semblance. Luke, Ben, and Lauren all have Semblances that enhance their bodies. They're also very different abilities. Something generic as "water manipulation" (which, as indicated, isn't an overlap here anyway) is kind of heavy handed to rule out when it's a basic powerset just because someone else has it.

That'd be like ruling out a character's weapon because it happened to be a sword, and someone else already had a sword. Versus ruling out someone having shotgun tonfa that combine into a sword because someone already has those. One's a ruling regarding an exact copy of a specific idea, and one's a ruling on duplicates of something basic.

Wasn't my rule, I would assume if there was an overlap Lug would look at them and make a ruling on whether they were too similar or not but again it's not my rule, I just work here.

No semblance overlap present. Silvan Haven's Beryl is fine by me. I would recommend checking out team R (Guess Who presiding).

I think the decision is more up to Lugu than I.
