[OOC] RWBY - Only the "Finest"

[Chronothesis]

Ahh...I need help with my Semblance. Dx

It's called Shock Wave, by the name of the semblance I can guess that you already know what it can do...

Basically the semblance can enable any source of dust the user is touching to become lethal. Much like the first episode when Roman shot the Fire-Crystal at Ruby and then exploded, but at a larger and more area-effective state. Whatever dust the user is holding the affects may differ. So lets say that Albus was holding Red-Dust, the opponents are staggered by the force of this explosion and begins to feel a burning sensation. But after the usage of his semblance his aura weakens and is more susceptible to damage.

( I AM SO SORRY FOR THE BAD GRAMMAR DX )

@ChronothesisSo it's basically a Dust-Enhancer, right? I'd say that instead of making it auto-lethal, make just do more damage than normal. Other than that, seems alright with me so far.

[Forsythe]

Well given that some people can be FUSED with dust, I'd ban it from the tournament :P That has potential to end very very badly depending on how well aura could stop that.

@Forsythe

I would agree with this.

Okay, so given the amount of vale-born students that we have, it's probably rather likely that you all won't be a part of the same team. Let's see, there are what? Five, six, vale students? So, there might be two, or even three teams. If it's possible, could we get some people for the other kingdoms? Those of you who are accepted of working in progress, there's no need to change.

[Raijinslayer]

@ForsytheI hadn't thought about that, good point. However, looking at what they have so far, it might be limited to their weapon but. . . still something that needs a little reworking to avoid accidentally blowing people to smithereens.

@ChronothesisMaybe instead of weaponizing dust, the semblance allows the user to send out shock waves, which can then be augmented with Dust. It would give physical attacks more oomph, while also making for a decent mid-range attack.

@pyroman

I'm pretty sure I changed mine to Mistral a while ago

[pyroman]

@Larfleezeyeah, those who are already accepted are good to go, but we do have a rather large number of beacon students, which means that student-student fighting will be pretty minimal, maybe even avoided altogether if there are too many.

[greywolf375]

@pyroman I could change mine, and how does it look so far, also?

[Crimmy]

Don't worry, my WIP profile's Vacuo. As well as the rest of the guys joining me.

@Raijinslayer

Besides, the power to make dust explode is kinda of specific. I mean, a semblance is an outward expression of your aura, your very life force, it is a physical manifestation of who you are.

Jimmy's original semblance was going to be Teleportation but I decided that his personality, his ideals and his natural love of learning meant that the creative, yet pseudo scientific, power that was Alchemy proved to be a way better expression of him as a character.

Just a thought to have when thinking about your Semblance...plus, who wants something that only works ON dust instead of something that can be used WITH dust.

[Raijinslayer]

@greywolf375My only thing so far is that I want to know specifically what you're character is capable of with their Semblance. You don't have to be super-detailed, but I need a general idea of their skill level so I can better judge the CS.

[Kouki]

@Raijinslayer Skill doesn't concern me so long as he doesn't blink and tornadoes start appearing. Since we have an entire Wiki entry as a summary I think detail's pretty much covered.

Given the rules of bending we know that....
1) He needs to be able to move his arms and legs to perform any feat.
2) His target has to be in line of site
3) While wind is virtually invisible, we'll be able to tell what he's doing because he'll be telegraphing the attacks through movement. This means that it's virtually impossible to hide where the attacks are coming from.
4) He can't move anything excessively heavy like most metals.

And with aura, we don't have a lot to fear in terms of damage from his semblance. I think your character is fine so far but I'd like to know how you mix this with Roller Blades?

[Forsythe]

As I said, put Mikoto anywhere you need. I consider the trailer noncanon :P

[Raijinslayer]

@KoukiI personally disagree a bit with this but will concede to your judgement cause you do have a point.

[pyroman]

@greywolf375@Lugubrious your characters look good so far, liking them. pretty much accepted.

@Chronothesis I do have a question about yours, though. You listed Mantle as the place of origin, but it's been defunct for a few decades at the least.

@pyroman

I think you already accepted me, but I'll take it.

[pyroman]

@Lugubrioussorry if I already have, I'm going through everything to make sure that I've looked over everyone's CSs to see if they're complete or not, and judging those that aren't.

@Kouki

I will be elaborating some more on the details. Also, the blades and rolerblades are essentially tools or focuses, similar to Aang's staff/glider. Again, there are going to be a couple differences, mainly in the types of movements

[Raijinslayer]

@ChronothesisSomething I noticed about your CS is that you have the White Fang in their bad guy form, but that hasn't happened yet. Since we're 5 years before the canon, then the White Fang are currently peaceful activists that are for Faunus rights.
