█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Sky grew up with her mother and Nana on a more rural part around Vale. Farming was how they made their living, though, an older woman, and a young girl did not make good farmhands so, while they helped when they could, most of the labor was done by hired hands. From an early age, she took to art and baseball, learning both quickly with passion. Life was quiet and pleasant for some time, but, one day, a handful of Grimm invaded their little community. While they were close enough to Vale to ensure the Grimm did not devastate their community, aid did not arrive in time to prevent loss. A few were killed, and Sky was cornered. It was at this point she learned that her Nana had been a Huntress in her earlier years. Older and frailer than she was in her prime, it was her grandmother who had killed the Beowolf that had cornered her.
After her recovery, she began asking her Nana about being a huntress. She learned about semblances, Aura, dust, and Grimm over the next few months, and during that time, she tried to discover what semblance she might have. She tried to see if she had extra speed, strength, tried to see if there was anything she could manipulate in any way. It wasn’t until one day, when she nearly collapsed a stand by taking off nearby in a huff that she thought to try using her wings. She'd been eyeing a super cute necklace she'd been saving for, only for the price to have gone up, the owner refused to lower it back to what it had been the day before and, when she took off, several displays as well as the owner were knocked down by the gust her wings created. She went off to the edge of town and started beating her wings, trying to replicate the effect. Suddenly, she was launched back as a loud whooshing came from her wings as air blasted forth, snapping small branches and even denting the surface of a nearby pond. Excited, she flew home to tell her Nana. When she did, her Nana told her about how she was found during the battle. Skylar couldn't remember doing so, but, apparently, her screams had been knocking things around. After a few weeks, her Nana determined that she must have some sort of manipulation over air pressure around her.
As further months passed, it was becoming more and more obvious she was veering towards the path of a huntress to her Nana. Seeing no chance of dissuading her, her Nana helped her figure out how she could use her talents in such a career. Sky had never used anything that could be considered a weapon besides a bat, but, her small frame did not have the power to make that viable, so, together, they came up with the idea of a rocket bat. As her father, before passing away, had taught her how to hunt, her Nana insisted on modifying the bat so that it could shift shape and become a high-power, lightweight .308 sniper rifle. The hunting rifles Sky was used to were bolt-action, so, they stuck with the old rifle on the mantle as a reference. But, Sky knew the kick would be too strong while she was in the air, so, they modified the stock to almost eliminate the recoil for her. And, being so used to speed in the air, Sky insisted on something to help her move fast on the ground, so, they came up with the idea of rocket skates.
█ █ ╫ I N V E N T O R Y ╫
█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Line Drive █ ▬ A 30" Rocket Bat and High-powered sniper rifle. The weapon does not have any dust effects itself, though, does fire dust rounds and utilize sudden one-second bursts of fire dust to compensate for Sky's lack of strength when she swings it in bat form. She can get up to 9 uses before having to replace the dust canister for the boosters. (Note: the single canister holds 3 shards and the mechanism holding the canister auto-ejects and folds back when switching the form to ranged) █Melee Form ▬ Her bat more or less looks like a metal bat...but with two boosters. █Ranged Form ▬ The rifle itself is somewhat large for her, but, is manageable due to the lightweight alloy it was constructed with. A specialized stock significantly reduces the recoil, while the long barrel and bolt-style receiver help with range. Near the end is also a deployable bipod. Each clip holds ten rounds and she can lock the magazine to manually load a dust round. It comes with a 8-12X42 scope for precise sniping. She typically carries 10 clips of standard munition with an extra that she manually loads from for dust munitions. █Other Form(s) ▬ N/A █Ammo Type ▬ .308 Physical Ballistic and manually loaded Dust rounds █Drawbacks:▬ Regardless of the form, it requires her to use both hands to be effective.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ A standard Dust-capable pistol. .45 round semi-auto pistol with 6 13-round clips. Effective range of 200m/~656ft █ ▬ █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ Munition Pouch █ ▬ Scroll █ ▬ Rocket roller blades (fire dust, controlled bursts 1/6 use count per, sustained, 3/6 per)
█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Air Pressure Manipulation █*AURA COLOR ▬ Sky Blue █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ She is capable of manipulating the air pressure she personally generates. This includes things such as sound manipulation to gusts of air, but, she has to generate them. She cannot affect the air pressure naturally present or generated by something else, ie: She cannot adjust the air pressure around someone to affect their breathing, or redirect pressure waves from explosions, etc
The range from her wings is much more limited as the source area is so much larger, only really being effective up to 50 feet before the pressure starts to dissipate. The pressure waves generated by her voice however are much more focused and can reach up to 150 feet, potentially causing temporary hearing loss though, past 50 feet, it cannot really cause damage, but, it can potentially disorientate. Generating pressure waves from her wings is also quite straining. While she can do it numerous times throughout the day (8 times if spaced out over multiple encounters, 4 if done in one), she risks injury to her wings if she does not give them a rest between (3 post cooldown). . Using her voice to this effect is far more harsh on her. She cannot use her voice in this manner more than a few times per day and needs a longer rest between uses (5 post cooldown) █*LEVEL 0 ▬ She can create directional gusts of wind strong enough to slow an opponent or toss small to medium debris and can amplify her voice significantly. (0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ Gusts of wind from her wings can be sustained for a couple of posts and are strong enough to stall opponents(100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ She can redirect and sustain the air pressure in a current around to to greatly reduce the effectiveness of non-piercing attacks. (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ She can generate a shockwave centered on her to knock back opponents and the blasts from her gusts of air can hit hard enough to send someone flying back several feet.(300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Piercing attacks are not significantly affected by her semblance, especially projectiles, and her more defensive abilities do obstruct her vision a bit.

While they were close enough to Vale to ensure the Grimm did not devastate their community, aid did not arrive in time to prevent loss. A few were killed, and Sky suffered a severe injury to her left wing. It was at this point she learned that her Nana had been a Huntress in her earlier years. Older and frailer as she was than in her prime, it was her grandmother who had killed the Beowolf that had maimed Sky’s wing.
After a couple months, Sky’s wing showed no sign of recovering, and, feeling sorrow that her granddaughter might never fly again, Sky’s grandmother contacted an old friend. A week later, Sky was presented with the option to receive bionic wings. The wings were designed to attach to sensor plates that were surgically implanted. With a biometrics locking system, she could voluntarily remove the wings at any time, but, they could not accidentally detach themselves. With no sign of recovery, she accepted. It took another month for her to recover from the surgery enough to even attempt flying, however, in some sort of bad joke, her broken wing was starting to finally starting to show signs of recovery. It eventually took a full year, but, her damaged wing, miraculously, made a full recovery.
After her recovery, she began asking her Nana about being a huntress. She learned about semblances, Aura, dust, and Grimm over the next few months, and during that time, she tried to discover what semblance she might have. She tried to see if she had extra speed, strength, tried to see if there was anything she could manipulate in any way. It wasn’t until one day, she was tossing rocks into a pond and daydreaming about what her weapon might b, that, she noticed the stone in her hand begin to shift and grow warm. It stopped as soon as she turned her attention to it, but, the amorphous stone she’d picked up was longer than it had been and started smoothing out. She thought for a second and as her thoughts turned to baseball, the stone in her hand began to shift again, this time, clearly, in front of her eyes until it looked like a stone carving of a bat. She ran home immediately, eager to show her Nana.
As further months passed, she began playing with her semblance and began to test with stones more and more, eventually discovering certain shapes went farther when she threw them. She asked her teacher about it and promptly started reading up on aerodynamics. It was becoming more and more obvious she was veering towards the path of a huntress to her Nana. Seeing no chance of dissuading her, her Nana helped her figure out how she could use her talents in such a career. At the insistence of finding a way to utilize her semblance in battle, her Nana jokingly tossed out the idea of hitting shaped stones at her enemies. At first, she was concerned when her grandaughter seemed to fixate on the idea. But, Sky was far more intelligent than she behaved so, she could learn the specifics about aerodynamics, angles, trajectory, kinetic energy transference, and rifling. She had no doubt of it. And Sky had never used anything that could be considered a weapon besides a bat, but, her small frame did not have the power to make that viable, so, together, they came up with the idea of a rocket bat. Sky even suggested racket skates so she could be fast on the ground as well.

She has to be in physical contact with the matter and it is limited to a 1 1/2” diameter sphere. Each Item manipulated takes a single post of concentration to manipulate it.

It takes a full post to shape the matter she is touching (so, she can’t instantly degrade someone’s equipment, they can break free). The ability does not make her more resistant to any type of damage. She can only do up to three items in succession as the matter heats up her hands, resulting in a 3-post cooldown.
❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Hello, my name is Youroka Kage, and I'll be judging your profile today!
❖ Okies! So to start off, you have your Primary talent and Faunus ability mixed up. You need the faunus ability of flight in order to fly fast. Also 75 mph is a bit fast, maybe that we could go down to 30 mph? ❖ Keep in mind, the perception part of other skills is more like 20/15 vision (You see things at 20 ft That most people see at 15ft) rather than actually zooming in on stuff. ❖ Ok, after reading the background, there is one thing that you need to know.
Quote:
(7.) Cybernetics- You can can have weaponized cybernetics INSTEAD of a weapon. If you lose a limb you can get cybernetic replacements, but you must wait one month in real life before you can upgrade/weaponize it. You can alter it no more than 3 times. A month between each upgrade. If you lose a limb your post count is permanently reduced by 30. You gain back 10 posts for each month after until you make back that 30 posts. This negative effect may be doubled if you are hit by the wheel of doom.
This means that your Bionic wings would have to be your main weapon in this case. If your wings work, I would just stay with your wings? ❖ Ok, before we go further with the semblance, we need more details, like how you can manipulate matter, is there a kind of matter that you can't manipulate? Is the matter that way forever, ect.
I have no issue with the first two points, but, on the Bionic wings, this was a decision made before she started even considering being a huntress. They are intended as utility, flight and later adjusted to give her greater lift power. They were never designed as weapons. Is there any possibility that they could be considered gear as the design is utilitarian in nature?

The issue with the wings is that they are used in form of combat. You had previously stated that the wings can fly 75 miles per hour. That gives you mobility that other's do not have. It would also have things like rockets in order to have something like that. Rockets can be used as weapons, or in conjunction with weapons to make them more deadly. Even if we made an exception for this, they would have to go into the inventory section of the profile, as the example that I always like to use is that I can't steal a real thing, but I can certainly steal a bionic version of it.
I'm going to quote a second crew member at this point.
Quote:
Utility still has combat functionality. I understand where they're coming from, but granting an array of capabilities from it clearly makes it a tool that can aid in combat or survival which classifies as a weapon.
Now, you would be allowed to have a baseball back as a secondary weapon, but it's clear to at least the two of us, if you want those Bionic wings, they will have to be your primary weapon, even if you were to get them before being a huntress.

I have updated the Semblance description and dropped her speed as requested. I would be willing to add her bionic wings into items.
I will say, The way I have them envisioned though, they could not function as weapons. They are study for flight, but, heavily articulated, not at all designed to withstand the sort of impacts they'd suffer being used as weapons. They would give her better lifting potential, as in carrying weight while flying (60 extra lbs with normal wings, 180 with bionic, will add bolded section into profile along with final touches), and they'd handle stronger winds better than her own wings. They have no weaponry installed. The only way I foresee them being used that could potentially lend them direct combat function, would be using them as a shield, but, there's a strong chance of them getting functionally damaged that way. Effectively like using a limb to block a blunt weapon, minus the pain.
Given this information, if you still think they need to be listed as her primary weapon, I still would say it does not make sense, but, I will edit the profile accordingly, otherwise, I am more than happy to add the wings into her Item's list.

So after talking with another crew member, we both agree, it would have to be under the Primary weapon, because that is the area that we designate more information for an item. The crew member also said if you wanted to, you could add weapons to it, and it goes there under that section because it's not really replacing your wings. If you had actually lost your wings, it would be a different story.

❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Hello, my name is Youroka Kage, and I'll be judging your profile today!

1) Would you have a recommendation then?
2) Yes, she is capable of doing artwork of the same quality as her image. Compared to the average person in general, that would be pretty advanced talent, but, I know for a fact there are those her age with that talent.
3) The wings could be stolen, yes, though, not the connection point, it is surgically attached. Also, I intended for them to connect via a modified prosthesis connector. Modified as designed specifically for the wings. And secured with a biometric lock, though, they could still be broken off, or her arm yanked behind her to touch the pad to unlock the wings.
4) While I can see your point, we are talking about a girl who is under 100 lbs, short of stature, and not very strong at all. I'm not arguing here, just pointing out that, a lot of her capability relies on the rockets. In a prolonged fight, getting 2-6 uses out of it would be fairly crippling from how I'm seeing it. As I understand, dust munitions are severely limited, how does this limitation translate to propulsion supplies? And yes, the blades would function roughly in the same way.
5) I once again understand your concern, but, revertion to original state feels more like effects of a spell. But, she would be pretty stupid to try to alter a weapon in combat. The mass she can change is small, it requires a post to do, offers no extra protection, and she is not strong enough to grapple. In a struggle to hold on to something, against nearly anyone, she'd instantly lose, and trying to catch a sword or blunt weapon, at best, would likely result in torn tendons and muscles, broken bones. At worst, a shattered or amputated hand/arm. And anyone using a cord-style weapon, be it leather, chain, other, they'd have significant leverage against her if she tried grabbing it. Functionally, it's almost a useless semblance to use offensively.

1. The thing is that I have been making people put how many feet in a post for other things. I would suggest maybe 40 feet per post.
2. What I'm saying is that if you want it to be that quality, it will have to go under strongest skill. Again, it's something that is supposed to be something you are working on, not something you are that good at.
3. Ok, so based on what you have just said, they aren't able to be stolen. That information needs to be in the weapon if that's the case. Based on what was just said there, it's not some basic wings anymore, they are classed as a weapon, therefore you would not be able to have your bat.
4. That's the point though, you have it based on the rockets, therefore you have to plan out how you are going to use it, it's a limiting factor. Right now with everything, you are stretching your dust supply.
5. What I'm saying is that it doesn't matter, I will not approve it with changing things permanently. I'm sorry that it feels like it's more of a spell, but that's what it will have to be like for me to approve it.

I revamped her. I will say, I think there is an argument to be made for not needing to place her artistic skill as her strongest. Many people have many talented skills. Not just a solitary one. Furthermore, her artistic ability doesn't really affect anything other than her hobbies and personality, whereas, the strongest skill currently listed actually does have combat functionality. I don't really think it's unbalanced or unreasonable to say that her strongest skill be something applicable to actual combat and still letting her be talented with drawing.

█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Sky grew up with her mother and Nana on a more rural part around Vale. Farming was how they made their living, though, an older woman, and a young girl did not make good farmhands so, while they helped when they could, most of the labor was done by hired hands. From an early age, she took an art and baseball, learning both quickly with passion. Life was quiet and pleasant for some time, but, one day, a handful of Grimm invaded their little community. While they were close enough to Vale to ensure the Grimm did not devastate their community, aid did not arrive in time to prevent loss. A few were killed, and Sky was cornered. It was at this point she learned that her Nana had been a Huntress in her earlier years. Older and frailer than she was in her prime, it was her grandmother who had killed the Beowolf that had cornered her.
After her recovery, she began asking her Nana about being a huntress. She learned about semblances, Aura, dust, and Grimm over the next few months, and during that time, she tried to discover what semblance she might have. She tried to see if she had extra speed, strength, tried to see if there was anything she could manipulate in any way. It wasn’t until one day, when she nearly collapsed a stand by taking off nearby in a huff that she thought to try using her wings. She'd been eyeing a super cute necklace she'd been saving for, only for the price to have gone up, the owner refused to lower it back to what it had been the day before and, when she took off, several displays as well as the owner were knocked down by the gust her wings created. She went off to the edge of town and started beating her wings, trying to replicate the effect. Suddenly, she was launched back as a loud whooshing came from her wings as air blasted forth, snapping small branches and even denting the surface of a nearby pond. Excited, she flew home to tell her Nana. When she did, her Nana told her about how she was found during the battle. Skylar couldn't remember doing so, but, apparently, her screams had been knocking things around. After a few weeks, her Nana determined that she must have some sort of manipulation over air pressure around her.
As further months passed, it was becoming more and more obvious she was veering towards the path of a huntress to her Nana. Seeing no chance of dissuading her, her Nana helped her figure out how she could use her talents in such a career. Sky had never used anything that could be considered a weapon besides a bat, but, her small frame did not have the power to make that viable, so, together, they came up with the idea of a rocket bat. As her father, before passing away, had taught her how to hunt, her Nana insisted on modifying the bat so that it could shift shape and become a high-power, lightweight .308 sniper rifle. The hunting rifles Sky was used to were bolt-action, so, they stuck with the old rifle on the mantle as a reference. But, Sky knew the kick would be too strong while she was in the air, so, they modified the stock to almost eliminate the recoil for her. And, being so used to speed in the air, Sky insisted on something to help her move fast on the ground, so, they came up with the idea of rocket skates.
█ █ ╫ I N V E N T O R Y ╫
█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Line Drive █ ▬ A Rocket Bat and High-powered sniper rifle. The weapon does not have any dust effects itself, though, does fire dust rounds and utilize sudden one-second bursts of fire dust to compensate for Sky's lack of strength when she swings it in bat form. She can get up to 10 uses before having to replace the dust canister for the boosters. █Melee Form ▬ Her bat more or less looks like a metal bat...but with two boosters. █Ranged Form ▬ The rifle itself is somewhat large for her, but, is manageable due to the lightweight alloy it was constructed with. A specialized stock significantly reduces the recoil, while the long barrel and bolt-style receiver help with range. Near the end is also a deployable bipod. Each clip holds ten rounds and she can lock the magazine to manually load a dust round. It comes with a 8-12X42 scope for precise sniping. █Other Form(s) ▬ N/A █Ammo Type ▬ .308 Physical Ballistic and manually loaded Dust rounds █Drawbacks:▬ Regardless of the form, it requires her to use both hands to be effective.
█*NAME ▬ Air Pressure Manipulation █*AURA COLOR ▬ Sky Blue █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ She is capable of manipulating the air pressure she personally generates. This includes things such as sound manipulation to gusts of air, but, she has to generate them. She cannot affect the air pressure naturally present or generated by something else, ie: She cannot adjust the air pressure around someone to affect their breathing, or redirect pressure waves from explosions, etc
The range from her wings is much more limited as the source area is so much larger, only really being effective up to 50 feet before the pressure starts to dissipate. The pressure waves generated by her voice however are much more focused and can reach up to 150 feet, potentially causing temporary hearing loss though, past 50 feet, it cannot really cause damage, but, it can potentially disorientate. Generating pressure waves from her wings is also quite straining. While she can do it numerous times throughout the day (8 times if spaced out over multiple encounters, 4 if done in one), she risks injury to her wings if she does not give them a rest between (3 post cooldown). . Using her voice to this effect is far more harsh on her. She cannot use her voice in this manner more than a few times per day and needs a longer rest between uses (5 post cooldown) █*LEVEL 0 ▬ She can create directional gusts of wind strong enough to slow an opponent or toss small to medium debris and can amplify her voice significantly. (0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ Gusts of wind from her wings can be sustained for a couple of posts and are strong enough to stall opponents(100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ She can redirect and sustain the air pressure in a current around to to greatly reduce the effectiveness of non-piercing attacks. (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ She can generate a shockwave centered on her to knock back opponents and the blasts from her gusts of air can hit hard enough to send someone flying back several feet.(300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Piercing attacks are not significantly affected by her semblance, especially projectiles, and her more defensive abilities do obstruct her vision a bit.
