<Snipped quote by Ryonara>
Generally speaking a semblance is supposed to aid in a huntsman's fighting style, not be the fighting style. Now obviously I'm not you and I'm not making your particular character choices but this might be something to keep in mind. Aura has been around for as long as humanity, criminals have been constantly using it and getting bested by hunters who use it. So you have to imagine that at some point someone has figured out a way to negate it. I'm not saying this as a definite but it wouldn't surprise me if at some point we end up in a situation where aura and by extension semblances won't function. That'll be a loss to most characters but to someone like Ebon it would be a complete disaster as his entire fighting style is based around his semblance.
If I may ask, Ebon's R-Types were obviously designed to work specifically for him for his own purposes given how they only operate when exposed to his semblance so if he has no engineering expertise whatsoever where did the R-Types and indeed the Kingdom come from? Both are marvelous feets of engineering (if a bit limited given there reliance on Ebon to function). I don't see a way someone else could understand Ebon's semblance so completely that they could construct an entire weapons system to function with it so if Ebon didn't design his weapons himself were did they come from?
I appreciate the work and symbolism that you attach to Ebon's weapons. I think it is well thought out but if the only reason that you are refusing to change them is because they correlate to a certain personality trait maybe you should take another look at your character. Weapons would of course be a personal choice and obviously reflect the character of the ones who wield them but while that symbolism is nice to have it shouldn't be the focus of having these weapons. The Focus of the weapons should be fighting with them. The R-Types could very easily be self sufficient drones there is no explicit reason why they would need a semblance to make them function.
I'll take that risk. If nothing else that's one sure fire way to shut down Ebon if anyone needs to make a hard counter against him. Though didn't you make a character who's semblance is essentially an anti-semblance anyways?
Ebon did attend Signal and would have designed his weapons there. He knew enough to make the R-Type and the Kingdom, but he wouldn't have gotten all too interested in tricking them out. He built the R-Type first, and created the Kingdom after he figured out how to make R-Types. If a machine could create and measure Aura, there would likely be machines that can react to one's semblance. Ebon did design his weapons himself, and generally speaking they should be unique to him. But that doesn't mean he has any fanatical interest in them that would manifest itself as a technopathy semblance. To him everyone is a tool, not just his weapons.
At this point I guess there's nothing else to do but make his semblance into drones. But the reason he uses telekinesis in the first place is because he's possessive: he's the kind of person who doesn't want his kids to ever leave him and grow independent. To reveal more about Ebon's past, he used to be an orphan. He made the mistake of trying to call the other orphaned kids his family: They got adopted when he didn't, and they would later forget about him. He tried to keep the others kids to stay with him, but they kept getting families while he stayed behind. When his orphanage caught on fire, Ebon was content to die in the orphanage with the other kids, who were begging him to help him somehow. He survived however, thanks to the other kids who gathered around him. They shielded him from the worse of the fire.
This twisted him: One on hand he wants to take care of people he calls his friends. But now he doesn't want them to ever leave him alone. But he hates the idea that they won't be faithful, and thus he challenges them to make the effort to befriend him. Obviously Ebon isn't right in the head, and his weapons reflect that. He doesn't want anyone to be able to use his weapons; they're his weapons, and they ought to be usable in his hands only. Making them reliant on his telekinetic Semblance was one way he did this. That's the reason why I've been trying so hard to keep his semblance as it was. But I guess now he'll just have some other reason to justify why he uses drones.
