@PyroDash888 interesting, interesting. And how do you feel this affects Skyra's abilities as a whole? Why change from a gun to a bow, and how would it be an upgrade for her? I imagine that go the route of Hawkeye and gain some mad aim with her bow as well as a variety of trick arrows to control the battlefield. Some CC stuff like smoke, flash, oil slicks, or even entanglement could be additional ways for Skyra to increase her strength and utility.

Hmm... Perhaps in addition to a weapon upgrade, a possible semblance upgrade? Or at least a bit of an elaboration on its effects. Right now her semblance allows her to effectively telepathically control her sword: what if we can do the same with arrows? Give them a bit more force when shot, and if she's sniping she can use her semblance to help her aim. This way Skyra has long range abilities and can serve as her teams' Sniper, taking out long-range opponents.

Hmm. Possibly, as part of Gren's own research into utilizing Aura as an energy source.

Mhmm, mhmm. I imagine that Skyra is a pretty strong girl, so I wouldn't be surprised if she's got a kung-fu grip for her composite blade bow. So, how does things look so far for Skyra's upgrade? Two blades that can connect at the hilt to form a bow, keeping her own quiver of dust-tipped arrows and such. Uses her semblance for long-range support. Oh, and I guess that since she can combined her two blades together, she can also use it as a sort of bladed staff if she holds it by the middle. Lots of twirls and dervishing me thinks. It'd certainly seem like a RWBY weapon.

@Prince of Seraphs

WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S FAVORITE FOOD!?

I may attempt to make it IRL and send pics. Or something. I have a budget and recently the market place where I could get tiger bones and shark fin is under investigation, so nothing too exotic either! Otherwise I'll just try my hand at a christmas cake or something.

The mattered has been sorted out. The new arrival has graciously agreed to back out for now, and Plank's character will take the empty slot as planned.

Maybe Team STRG and SASG ought to get together and do some team building. Gren, Grane, Abel, and Trad on one team, Sapphire, Shiro, Sand, and Robert on another. We'll call it Force And Fineness!

Aye, exactly like that.

@PyroDash888 - I think something akin to Simon's Bowblade would be perfect for what you're looking for.

Stylish, sexy, and lethal

_{Also one of the characters in the work-in-progress "Red Nile" story explicitly relies on Aura for weaponry. xD}

Just to be clear we're putting Shiro on a team nicknamed fineness?

Eeeeeh I mean, true that Grane might be a bit more precise then Shiro's more "Put everyone you got in it" type of style, but my true angle was Leaders + Their Problem Children vs Big Guys and their Responsible Sibling. Sapphire and Sand having to quickly figure out how to coordinate with their keet and emo members before they get flatten into paste by their bigger, tankier, generally more straight forward and less dramatic/emotionally stoic members of their party.

I already have plans for Ferris's upgrades. Yes...plans...eeevil plans... *rubs hands together and cackles*

"Evil plans!
We are making evil plans!
Evil deeds with evil hands!
We love making evil plans!"

@Lugubrious

Since Luu~ summed it up pretty good.

@Prince of Seraphs Didn't Sapphire once find Shiro's pills? Pretty sure the drugs are working, and his current self is simply his "watered" down hyperactiveness. As for Grane eh. Maybe he just needs to get laid again. We can use Pricilla's character as an NPC right? I think Grane needs a visit.
