@Xiphonic If you're happy with your character, you can slot them into the CS tab.

@Karos Okay I made edits to her skills. I took out Corruption and replaced it with Transfer and I edited her Mirror skill, giving it more limitations/restrictions because I really wanted to keep that aspect of her ability. My main idea was for her to be able to use someone's aura against them, and with Mirror gone, I can't really do that. Hopefully my changes are OK. Also, I'm nearly done with the history.

edit: All done with my CS now.

I'm toying with the idea of pulling a gender-swap on Brenin. Mostly because the imbalance would slowly drive me insane, but also because why not? Not much else would change, but it's going to take some editing and I figured I might get your opinions in the mean time.

@FateWeaver I think you should stick with what's most comfortable for you. I don't think it matters.

And I totally feel special for having the only girl character ^^

@OneWayOut Fair enough, no change then. It was mostly just an idle thought anyway.

@Karos I have to work tonight so I'm done for now, but let me know if you think I need to add more.

@OneWayOut Looks like you're all good to move to the CS tab, just keep in mind whilst you may steal a semblance you might not know how to use it safely. If you stole Brenin's semblance for example you might collide with something at high speed. If you stole Actus' then you might become quieter but still be noticeable as you haven't practiced with it.

@FateWeaver All good, move 'em over to the CS tab.

@OneWayOut I just realised something actually. I've been re-watching RWBY whilst sorting this out and I've realised that your aura draining ability might unbalance things quite a bit more than I previously thought. Mainly because aura is used to determine whether or not a person can remain in a fight. So as it stands all your character would have to do is touch the enemy and they'd essentially be able to win the match rendering all blocking methods useless.

Perhaps instead of any form of contact being able to drain the victim you have to make physical contact with the person in question. Not merely their weapons, so that way you can still use your ability, but its just a little bit more balanced.

@Karos I see what you're saying, but the thing is, if she were limited to only physical contact it would be more dangerous to her trying to remain up close and having to keep her physical hand on that person. It's a bit unreasonable.

I mean, for one, it takes time, a lot of time, for her to be able to drain aura from someone. She already will have to take it little by little, because how often do you see someone actually touch someone else in combat for more than a second? She wouldn't be able to win with a single toich. Fighting her over a long period of time would result in getting your aura stolen.

Does that kind of clear it up a bit? I certainly don't think it's any easy win as it may look

Whilst Understand that it limits the use of it, it is still possible. As it stands at the moment lets say you were fighting Cardin, you hit his mace. He blocks your attack, now all you have to do is stay there and drain him dry. If he holds his block he loses, if he tries to attack you you can quickly strike him repeatedly still drawing aura from him and damaging his aura with conventional attacks. It's the same if you fought someone with a shield like Jaune if he blocks you, you could simply stay and drain him dry.

If you have to make contact with a person however its a bit more balanced. Take yang for example, she has to punch people to do any major damage. That means getting in close getting around weapons etc even if just for a moment. This would be the same, you'd have to get under their guard and then all you have to do is touch them. That's before considering the additional bonus that the healing gives you in a competitive setting, especially as no other character has any way to heal.

I see your point, but I still don't think you're taking into account how fast typical battles go and why it wouldn't end up like you think. Forgive me, but I'm hoping we can come to some sort of understanding about this with us both being happy. I'm really urging this idea because I like it a lot and want to keep it as is. Hopefully I can explain it properly.

Whilst Understand that it limits the use of it, it is still possible. As it stands at the moment lets say you were fighting Cardin, you hit his mace. He blocks your attack, now all you have to do is stay there and drain him dry. If he holds his block he loses, if he tries to attack you, you can quickly strike him repeatedly still drawing aura from him and damaging his aura with conventional attacks. It's the same if you fought someone with a shield like Jaune if he blocks you, you could simply stay and drain him dry.


If you really think about it, attacks that are blocked are immediately followed by some sort of counter move. The idea that my character would stay there for any period longer than 3 seconds is unlikely. She won't just stand there and leave herself open to an attack just to try and drain his aura. If she were fighting Cardin, she'd have to keep hitting him, taking his aura in small bursts through her attacks, knowing he's a heavy hitter and one strike from him could do some serious damage. If her move was blocked, she'd immediately fall back to avoid getting hit. Block or not, there will be no point in time where my character is going to just be standing still long enough to drain someone to the point of them being in immediate trouble of losing. Her Semblance works gradually, not all at once.

If you have to make contact with a person however its a bit more balanced. Take yang for example, she has to punch people to do any major damage. That means getting in close getting around weapons etc even if just for a moment. This would be the same, you'd have to get under their guard and then all you have to do is touch them. That's before considering the additional bonus that the healing gives you in a competitive setting, especially as no other character has any way to heal.


You can't really compare my character to Yang because she can take a hit, where as my character is more like Weiss, one strong hit can knock her down for some time. As I said before, being restricted to physical touch is unreasonable because she literally would have to poke someone like a hundred times before getting anywhere. She strikes fast with her weapons, which, may I add, further restrict the physical part seeing as she'd have one hand on her Rapier at all times. Assuming she wasn't using her dagger in her other hand, i still cant see her attacking and then just quickly patting someone with her free hand. It just can't work that way in my opinion.

@OneWayOut Okay I'll give you a compromise then. I let you keep the ability as is, however if I feel it's becoming excessive or too overpowered, we switch to the other version. Does that seem fair?

@OneWayOut Okay good, I didn't want to be too harsh as I see why it'd be a cool ability and you seem keen to take part. I just don't want to get any situations where your character just takes out all the opponents just by draining them.
