This reminded me of Sapphire

@harinezumikouken

Her hairs a bit longer, wrong eye color and her wardrobe is a bit different but otherwise that looks quite a bit like how I imagined Sapphire.

Hey @Lugubrious If it's not too much trouble would you be able to create a section at the bottom of the first post in the character tab that has a list of all the characters that have been dropped or no longer in use. Every now and again I need to look one of them up for a contest writing challenge or something pertaining to the team they used to belong too and it is a pain in the ass to search through four pages looking for them especially since I can't spell a number of them with accuracy so the search function is useless.

Sorry to do this to you guys but with the recent number of drop outs I just want to make sure everyone is here. If you could all to role call that would be great.

@Apokalipse
@TheUnknowable
I know this took a while to start and that was partially my fault as I only had a vague idea of how I wanted to RP to proceed but it's just starting out, on its first legs. It could go anywhere from here. Please stay for a little while and see if you do like the RP before just moving on. Please :(

I told a few of the guys this, but Lugu's picture of Sapphire looks a shitload like my high school ex.

i-it messes with me fam

@Plank Sinatra

If it helps Lug didn't quite get her face right.

I'm going as one of the Strolling Players. Traveling minstrels from the Inkheart series.

We have cascade failure. Rebooting system.

@Guess Who What's wrong with sound wave manipulation? I thought the disorientating effects it has on others would be a reflection of Robert's own clumsiness both mentally and physically.

If I'm being honest while I might not always be happy with the power level of Sapphire's semblance I think I sort of nailed it with how it relates to her personality. A girl that wants to shut out the world and never let anyone see the real her has the power to avoid being perceived.

@Guess Who Just going to put this out there but probability control can be a risky thing to work with. Not saying it's a bad idea just be careful, since it's such and undefined field it is open to an impossible number of interpretations which could go south very quickly. I trust you'd handle it well but it's something you have to watch out for cause in the wrong set of circumstances it can be the ultimate ability, which is generally not a good thing.

Ebon's weapons are built around his Semblance, not the other way around. The fact they're Drones just gives him a bit more versatility then "Throw things at the enemy" that most telekinetic users do. His semblance is also suppose to be an aspect of his personality: He's not a techy person and has no interest in machines. He's the kind of person who doesn't want people touching him, but he wants to affect them. He's the type of guy who'll get into your head and leave a nasty memory behind.

As for his R-Types they're suppose to be disposable drones with some unique features: They represent his tendency to use others for what they can do, rather than what they are.

At this point I'm not sure what to do with Ebon, since it's painfully obvious everyone wants me to change him. But changing his semblance changes his personality, or at least gives a very strange semblance for someone who has no greater interest in customizing his equipment beyond whatever is available to him. If I do limit his R-Types I do intend to make his R-Types much harder to take down that "Just shoot them".

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.
