By the way, if it becomes a big smart cape thing that turns into a suit, it'll be from Sakanade Textiles. Just saying.And god. If that Semblance works on physical, emotional attraction as well, I'm guessing he's had some nice, warm nights with BB.

I was just thinking about whether BB would like him or not, I'm still debating which would be funnier. If, like, he was BB to BB, or if BB saw him as a rival, or if they were just regular friends and not creepy at all, which is creepier 'cuz it's BB, oy. XD

Hmm, interesting idea for a Semblance. The mechanical specifics of the weapon can be whatever, I get the intent of the bullets are to have an electric based ammo and an explosive based one, you don't have to get bogged down in the details for that. I think I understand what the retracted armor looks like, like big orbs or cylinders over major joints? It might be difficult to say he'd walk around like that, if I'm thinking of it properly, why not have a big smart cape thing that conforms to the suit and keeps itself from getting caught on stuff when not in use? Might could be fashionable and functional. :PAnd the specifics for the Semblance in combat don't need to be completely explained, we can say some sciency-wiency thing with mass/magnetism/vacuums/whatever, is it also possible to use it to slingshot projectiles too? What I'd mainly want to know more about is the attracting actual attention, I'm assuming it's a ranged thing and involves his Aura mingling with other's Auras like Rose and B.B.'s does, but is it just noticing him more or do people actually find him more attractive? And what's the, I guess, rate of attracting? Like did the teachers single him out as a favorite early on, or was it over months/years? And how likely is it that people notice it affecting them? Sorry for the barrage of questions, it's just that Semblance can affect other characters very easily, just wanna know all about it 'fore I approve it. :P

I was thinking orbs or cylinders but the cape sounds more awesome, I was just trying to make it as reasonable and realistic as possible. (note changing to cape, like in image)
As for slingshots yes, he could attract them to him.
On the attracting attention part, I just went back and edited this actually because I realize I didn't specify, no it does not make him more attractive it draws their focus to him. Their temperament at the time of drawing focus stays the same, in other words he has to pick and choose his moments. It does involve some aura interaction similar to BBs and if he over exerts the pull it someone could easily notice it. As for becoming teacher's favorites he used the semblance to pull their focus to him anytime they asked a question he knew the answer to (which in the ordinary classroom wouldn't really register with the teacher) so teachers began viewing him as the student that always knew the right answer. But he wasn't like a favorite from the get go, he had to earn his way their, it was just easier because he had the teachers' attention whenever he knew he could shine.

The main thing on detecting the semblance in use would have to be the situation, if someone was incredibly angry at someone else and then found themselves angry at Nic it would draw attention and they are much more likely to notice. Now if someone is handing out party invites and Nic used his semblance to get them to hand one to him, it would be almost impossible for them to tell.... it really depends on the situation.

-----------------------edit-------------------------

I realized I didn't address rate of attraction. The rate is almost instant when activated although this is what it makes it most likely to be caught. Activated in such ways as to draw praise intended for someone else or ire that isn't meant for him will almost be caught, again this comes down to him picking his spots.

The material may be from Sakanade but the design would still be Nic's.

[ERode]

Oh yeah, all things considered....if students can make crazy ass things by themselves, from weapons to vehicles to armor, does that mean that every school generally has metalworking/programming/gunsmithing/automobile classes and such?

design, not hand crafted... that would require someone more like Morella or Tarkus. But I assume that they'd have to have classes for that seeing as Ruby made her own weapon (though that could be special circumstances)

[Asura]

I assume, at the very least, students are taught machining and engineering, since Ruby mentioned making Crescent Rose and was surprised Jaune hadn't made his sword and shield, but inherited it. Kinda implies everyone handcrafts their own weapon.

[ERode]

Hm, and from Alistair's cryfest poorfag backstory, they need to get the parts using their own money and such, right? So there's no specific class where students go make their weapons themselves, during class time? Trying to figure some things out at the moment.

[Asura]

Idk. I assume the parts are provided, as we don't know how wealthy most Signal/Sanctum/Beacon students are. (They never mentioned admission prices in the anime, only transcripts, so I assume it's free to enter Beacon).

There's also the fact Ferrous and other companies donate to Beacon and I assume other schools, to provide students with the basics I assume.

This makes me really want to make my boxer character.

[ERode]

Hm, but if that's the case, then Alistair shouldn't actually have a crappy weapon, right? They probably have funds/scholarships for poor students....

And yea, Panda. If I had Cororo this RP, I'd totally agree.

And then, as if from another universe, Pyron and Original Psycho Cororo emerge from the Vortex and fulfill the prophecy of the Jupiter Impact.
And we all had steak,
