@Henzukaya Understood. Will make necessary changes to the Semblance. Also, I chose not to have melee because, well, it seems rather boring if everyone was capable of both melee and ranged combat. I instead chose to specialize more in ranged combat, rather than tying myself down as a jack-of-all-trades type.

all right, that's acceptable. Let me know when the semblance changes are done.

I changed Gerald to have a semblance that is more in line with his heritage. It will more or less be completely useless to him in battle unless he starts fighting desperately and wildly. As for the ice bayonet, no, it does not shoot out. It simply forms a bayonet at the edge of Anwarter, giving him a melee option.

Ok, the melee ice bayonet is acceptable. As for the semblance, I like the idea a lot. as for the title, maybe something shorter like Semblance Distort or Aura Distort. Accepted and added once the changes are met. Awesome work.

With what kiddo has said, I would highly recommend everybody reconsider their character in consideration of this, as well as in consideration of the Semblance issue. A team of 4 people who all use time control is just no fun at all. I'm actually considering banning such powers.

Edit: Actually, in light of this, I'm going to be changing my opinion and approval of some of the character submissions. I want your characters to match your semblances, and your semblances complement your characters. BrodZ, unfortunately this means that you will have to change your semblance as well.

I keep forgetting what things are like outside of Advanced. BUT I SHALL PERSEVERE.Also, I wanna say something about semblances, please. This is the same dribble that I drabble whenever it comes to balancing powers, so if you've heard it before, please skip over. Also, keep in mind that I'm not the GM, and I'm just saying my say:

Wise words indeed, Kiddo, thank God somebody else understands. Everyone, please read this

Holy shit people, a brief 6 hour nap and you guys are all everywhere. I like that, its good! anywho! Down to business!

The character looks great and all, if you could remove the Bio, then its accepted. As for why I'm requesting you remove the bio, everyone is entering in this with their past concealed, and that includes even on their character sheet. Hold onto it, save it somewhere, whatever works for you, your characters past will gradually be unraveled as we go along. Approved and added if the changes are met.

Kiddo

Once you add an appearance to your character, as well as explain what kind of faunus she is, its pretty much approved. Also, about the semblance, if the clone were to be left with some of Coral's aura, then it would make more sense as to why its on a cooldown and why the clone has an aura of its own.

1Charak2

Remove the bio and replace it with what their personality, and its pretty much approved. As I said earlier, if it needs to be said again, everyone is entering in this with their past concealed. From what I understand of your weapon, its pretty close to ranged while not costing ammunition. As long as it can do some form of ranged, even if its limited, it can be accepted. But there's also the Semblance that I have a problem with. I'm just going to flat out reject that Semblance and request you create one that better suits your character. PM me if you want tips or help

Scarifar

Looks nice so far, but a lack of melee combat does seem pretty bad. However, correct use of your semblance could make up for it.Speaking of which...

Semblance: QuickTime. To her, time appears to have slowed down, but she can still move as normal, allowing her to respond to multiple events quickly. Max intensity is 30 seconds in QuickTime for every one second in real time.

30 seconds quick time for one second in real time... In other words, 30 times faster than normal speed. If you're going to stick with it, I'm unfortunately going to nerf it to a ratio of 10/1 instead of an insane 30/1. Understand that if you were to use QuickTime, you yourself would also be slowed like everyone else, only your eyes and mind would be able to be unaffected, allowing for near flawless reaction timing, which I think is something that balances your character's lack of melee. If you're not all right with somethin, PM me so we can figure this out.

Bio: Lee childhood what much like both children, for a short time that is. Lee grew up in a family of well renowned hunters. The Zhao family have bin around since the beginning of the Great War an participated in the war. But the Zhao family was no like many hunters, with their gun sythes or shot gun gauntlets. No the Zhao were simple Hunters, Lee Chang Zhao , created a style of martial arts only known to the Zhao family, and some other family spread throughout the kingdom. To accompany there new fighting style, he created special gauntlets and shoes, infused with red dust. At the age of 10, Lee was trained by his father, Zin Zhao, to become a hunter. Lee graduated at the top of his class in the weapon schools. Lee is now attending Beacon in order to continue and honor his family line of hunters.
Weapon: (Rajin)
Semblance:The user can change the magnitude and direction (vector) of an object to maneuver it in the desired way, regardless of preexisting vectors. This also applies to static or non-moving objects, technically speaking, the object still has momentum as it is moving through space. Since nearly everything in existence has vectors, manipulation of them can essentially grant the user an "Absolute Defense" that prevents the user from harm, among many other possibilities.(I WIN)
Strength/Weakness: Lee excells in close combat situations, so no matter what, if you try to run at Lee and fight him head to head, you will most likely lose.Lee his horrible at long range combat, so snipers or anything gun related used against Lee if not dodged correctly, can hinder Lee in battle.
Social: Lee is a calm and clever man, keeping a level head in even the worst of situations. Always optimistic, but will get serious when the time is right.

Wow, only one I've had major issues with so far... Please remove bio and replace with personality. Though I haven't mentioned it until now, sorry for that, I will be having our characters currently withholding their pasts. As for your weapon, be more specific. Insanely more specific. you literally have just one word and thats it. As for your semblance, rejected. For starters, it seems genuinely broken. It also doesn't seem like a good match for your character, but thats a minor point. The main one is its over powered. Please change it. if you need help with a Semblance, PM me for help.

LaXnyd

Well, remove the bio, there is a reason for that. Only problem so far is with your weapon, which is kinda confusing. The bayonet of ice, is it something that stays there for a while, or does he fire an actual knife like a bullet? As for your semblance, I would greatly prefer if you used something else, time control like that is just too confusing at this point. Plus it seems a little overpowered, or you could even just use superhuman speed, like Ruby. But, if you are going to go with superhuman speed, I'll only allow it be movement speed, not have insanely fast and dexterous hands.

Good god people... Try some originality with your semblances. We got what, two people that have a form of time control, three that have a form of velocity control, is there anyone that actually chose a Semblance thats not a Godlike power?? Please, please, PLEASE have something unique and not along the lines of "time control, gravity control, all element control, future premonition". I am honestly baffled by some of the unoriginality here. If you need help coming up with other ideas for Semblances, let me know.

As for why I'm requesting you all to remove the bio, everyone is entering in this with their past concealed, and that includes even on their character sheet. Hold onto it, save it somewhere, whatever works for you, your characters past will gradually be unraveled as we go along.

Usually it starts with the leaders first name and the rest of the team

Well shit. This is gonna put a damper on things... Mainly team names. Not sure if I should ditch that custom or not

RWBY (Opening check/interest check)

The more the merrier. I hope. We do have openings, don't we? -.-'

Also, a question. The team names are composed of the first letter of either the first or last names of all the members. Do the team names have to start with the team leader's first letter?

RWBY: Deep Blue

Ah, its Ozpin.

RWBY: Deep Blue

((NOTE: Will be a member of the third NPC team))

Name: Leona Firehart

Nickname: Leo

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Race: Faunus (Lion)

Appearance:

Leona

Leona is a little shorter than most, but thats due to her age. She has tan color straight short hair which waves slightly at the ends, and vivid silver eyes. Her skin is a darker shade than her hair, with a surprisingly sizeable bust given her age. She also has lion ears at the top of her head, with a lion's tail at her rear. Leona wears a dark red sleeveless shirt with baggy jeans, leather armor crops on her shoulders. She wears fingerless brown leather gloves, and wears simple heavy boots, loosely tied.

Personality: Leona is straightforward and brash, but is kindhearted while being rough at the same time. With strangers she is assertive, happy and carefree, not caring about what people would say about her heritage. Around friends, she is a bundle of joy and laughter, but will usually make a joke of herself to save friends some embarrassment, something she doesn't know of. Usually stubborn and obstinate, she is often gullible and easily tricked with something she's not sure of herself.

Weapons:

Chinese Martial Arts

Leona has been trained in Chinese martial arts, but has mixed it in with some street fighting after dropping out with 5 years of training, making her not a master, but adept in martial arts, still a very dangerous opponent in close combat.

Semblance:

Chi Volley

With such a strong body, Leona relies on nothing but her own fists, and every other part of her body she can use in a fight. Because of this, her body is sturdier than most. Using her own natural and metaphysical energy, also known as Chi, she can channel and fire off chunks of pure energy. She does this mainly with her punches, kicks, and almost any other movement, the speeding volley in the shape of whatever she used to generate it. It hits as hard as her own fists do, which even on their own do as much damage as normal weapons.

Strengths: Obstinate, very strong in close combat, almost unstoppable, optimistic and energetic

Weaknesses: Foolish, gullible, stubborn and can never sit still.

RWBY: Deep Blue

I figured I would be the principal as well as the other faculty.

RWBY: Deep Blue

Name: Khalis Severin

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance:

Khalis

(No image yet, but I promise I will add one once I make it) Khalis is very tall and thin, but still lean in figure. He has slightly spiky pure white hair, sharp cyan eyes, and pale skin. His clothing consists of a black sleeveless shirt underneath a thick white unzipped coat with jet black pants. Khalis wears thick heavy boots, and there is an unusual insignia upon the back of his cloak.

Personality: Khalis is a jerk. Plain and simple as that. He lives purely for spite and his own amusement, often playing little practical jokes here and there, poking fun at people and making snarky sarcastic comments. All this he does with an innocent yet sinister grin. He never means to go too far, however, though he almost always does. When it comes to friends, he is caring and thoughtful, but usually mischievous. Always suave and graceful, he hardly makes any sort of fumble and is difficult to catch off guard.

Weapons:

Touketsu Kanashimi

(Will probably redo later) Khalis' favoured weapon of choice, this scythe is made purely of hardened ice, crafted through use of Dust allowing him to conjure it at will.
He can also change its shape into that of a violin, one which when played emits visible sound waves which rush through the air like an arrow, damaging where it strikes.

Semblance:

Frost Phase

Khalis is capable of making his entire body phase through objects as he pleases, emitting an unusual aura of frost as he moves and freezes whatever he passes through. He can phase through almost any object he desires, and can channel this ability through his hands allowing his scythe and even people he grabs onto to move through objects as he does.

Strengths: Very quick reactions, swift and graceful movements, difficult to taunt and grapple. Very optimistic.

Weaknesses: Moderately weak and fragile, low Aura, trouble making friends
