History: ㊡He was born in Vacuo to two coyote Faunus parents,his mother having had a relationship with a wolf Faunus,who was the father of his older sister who was a brown rabbit Faunus.Tyzan was always interested in becoming a hunter starting at age three,looking up to his mother and father who were both hunters.He would often beg to go on missions with them but of course was turned down due to his age,small size,inexperience and of course the dangers.
Everything with their family was fine until one mission where his mother returned home without his father and holding the necklace he absolutely refused to lose or get rid of.Events after that were a blur for him,the days leading up to the funeral speeding past.When the funeral day finally arrived he was...silent,he didn’t cry,he simply stood there feigning emotional strength,this all occurred at age eight
It was three years later that his mother decided to take him to Mistral and leave him with one of her old hunter friends,who didn’t hesitate for a moment in beginning to train Tyzan.He spent three years with Erin learning to use a great sword and became quite skilled with it,but even with his skill he still wanted to learn something more,setting off with Eton to Vale.A short time after arriving in Vale he ended up coming across Ruby Rose,realizing who she was and convincing her to train him.During his time training with her he began designing and forging his own weapon,finishing it within three years,which happened to be how long he had trained with Ruby for.After all his years with two different mentors he didn’t yet think he was ready to be a hunter,deciding to stay in Vale instead of return to Vacuo and attend Beacon academy.

The camera acts conduit that allows Velvet to create "light copies" of the weapons of other fighters, using the photographs from the camera. Dust Skill: Various ❖ Note: While Velvet is highly skilled with dust herself, her semblance allows her to mimic the abilities of someone who may have higher skill with the substance. Semblance:Mimicry: In short, Velvet is able to copy the exact movements of another person's movements. This is especially effective in combat with her light copies. It does not, however, allow her to copy the semblances of others.

Deceased? EH?!] ❖ Professor Ozpin → Employer & senior staff member ❖ Professor Goodwitch → Senior staff member ❖ Bartholomew Oobleck → Senior staff member ❖ Amara Tameg → Fellow staff member & peer ❖ Beacon Academy Students → Students ❖ Latte → Pet [?]
Dislikes: ✘ Bullying ✘ Secrets ✘ Extremist Groups ✘ Negativity ✘ Greasy food ✘ Confrontation ✘ Lazy students ✘ High pitched noises
Personality: ❖ Patient and kind, Velvet is usually very accepting and happy to help those in need. She's become a little more outgoing in her years, especially with her job as a professor of combat studies at Beacon Academy. When it comes to students, she does her best to appear as an approachable authority figure, using her co-workers and previous professors as a means of example to follow. It's not uncommon for her to become a favorite, however, given her mild temper and fewer homework assignments than most. The latter is more of a consequence of the class she teaches rather than her own doing, however. Professor Scarlatina is happy to help her students who ask for any extra assistance and keep an eye on those who may be struggling. As far as her fellow staff members go, she's quite open to them although finds it difficult to see some of her old professors as peers rather than uppers.
When it comes to her friends, she's very supportive, both socially/emotionally and in combat. Velvet's glad to lend a helping hand if anyone asks or needs it. In that respect, she's seen as very reliable on many fronts and is considered a valued friend and ally. If she sees a comrade suffering, she feels deep concern for them and will do what she can to help. Pray you don't earn her ire, for anger is an extremely rare emotion for her as she's willing to put up with so much. This is mostly saved for extreme situations, of course.
On the whole, Velvet Scarlatina is a very caring person despite her timid nature, though she's been working on that for some time now. One person in particular helped her come out of her shell, but it isn't suggested anyone bringing him up unless they're prepared for a anxiety-induced rant.
History: ❖ Post Fall of Beacon: After the fall of Beacon, Velvet had gone back home for a time to catch up with her family. The atmosphere was tense. While the welcome home was a warm one, it felt as though there were something no one wanted to say, no one wanted to address. Everyone back home had obviously been quite concerned for her safety when they'd heard about the events at the school. No one talked about it. No one dared. Her family didn't want to hurt her, and she didn't want them to worry anymore than they already had. During this time, she kept in contact with her team via mail and helped some local huntsmen clear some more frisky grimm every now and again. Something was missing, though. It felt wrong that she was simply relaxing at home when so many were struggling back in the city, back at Beacon. Velvet lived this way for a few years before bringing up her concerns with Coco, still seeing her as a leader or role model of sorts despite no longer being at Beacon Academy. After receiving her reply, the rabbit faunus made her decision to return to the City of Vale and help the faculty, huntsmen, and huntresses clear and rebuild it.
It was here that she'd become closer to the professors of the school and decided her future. Being a huntress was all about aiding others, and what better way to do so by paving the way for the huntsmen and huntresses of the future? During the remodeling of the city and school, Ozpin returned along with the classmates she fought alongside during the fall. He was much younger and looked, honestly, like a different person. While it was jarring, her friends confirmed that this was indeed the same headmaster she'd met on her first day of school. This reappearance restored a great deal of hope in many, speeding up the restoration process significantly. It felt that way in everyone's hearts when the reality of the situation was that it took several years. As the dust began to settle, people moved back to the city and activity in the area slowly picked up again. She took this opportunity to request an application as a professor to Beacon Academy from Ozpin. While there were a few formalities that needed to be fulfilled, but he graciously agreed, and Velvet began working toward her new goal.
It was during this time that she began coming by more familiar faces. Team CVFY even had a sort of reunion. There was a sort of normality forming again. The Fall of Beacon was a tragedy, one where many were lost or injured, and the months following were no better. Some faces still held the remnants of despair experienced on that day. One in particular had surprised her, though: Lyon Garnet. Velvet had initially been surprised to see him back in town at all let alone with the pain he carried. He seemed thoroughly...broken. Remembering enjoying classes and school life with him, it broke her heart to see the man this way. It had been quite a while since that time, so she was genuinely surprised that he even remembered her. She took whatever opportunity she could to try to help him, show that she cared, that someone cared. Lyon slowly began to come around, and Velvet slowly realized that her feelings ran a little deeper than just concern for her comrade. A few years ago, however, he dropped off the face of Remnant, gone on a mission and never came back. It was around that time Velvet had started her first semester of teaching and wouldn't have been able to search for him if she wanted to.
Professor Scarlatina is a student favorite whether that's her goal of not. She currently teaches combat studies and oversees sparring between students, offering tips and pointers to those who need them. While on campus, Velvet is usually trailed by her cat, Latte. She'd found the stray as a kitten and took him in as Oz was nice enough to let him on campus. On weekends, it's common for her to hang out with Coco or Weiss Schnee, go shopping, or take up a quicker mission. Basically, she's just taking things a day at a time, wondering exactly what happened to Lyon.

Username: thirtyspacechickens-go Name: Morgan Birch ( "Morgan" comes from the gemstone "Morganite" ; Birch is a type of light brown and white tree ) Nickname: Morg Race: Faunus Viper. As a result, she has fangs in place of her canine teeth; they contain venom. She wears a bandanna around her mouth to hide it. Ethnicity: Caucasian Gender: Female Orientation: Bisexual Alignment: True Neutral Academy: Atlas Academy Age: 17 Birthday: April 8th Height: 5'7'' Combat Type: Long range, projectiles/ Short range, stun and slashing. Weapon(s): "Zeus & Hera" ( named for the god of thunder, both for the sound of bullets and the stun gun ) Semi-automatic machine gun that fires dust bullets. She keeps extra rounds strapped to her right thigh and her right hip. On the left thigh, she has a pistol strapped down with regular rounds, just in case. You can never have too much firepower. She also has a cartridge on the butt of her machine gun that is equipped with two small, projectile stun bullets. The stun bullets are attached by strings, so they can be reloaded. They send an electric shock through her opponents. There is a knife stored in the pouch on her left hip in case she needs to defend herself at close range. She usually uses her blade alongside her stun weapon. Hera is the name of her goggles, which are designed with sights to help her aim. Dust Skill: ❖ Burn: Moderate-High Skill ❖ Ice: Moderate Skill ❖ Steam: Moderate-Low Skill, working to make hot steam by using more burn dust in the mixtures ❖ Gravity: Low-Level Skill Semblance: ❖ Infection: Plays hand in hand with her faunus trait. She can activate her semblance and use her venom to make her entire being poisonous to the touch. While this is very useful in a battle with overwhelming enemies, this can also be an incredible hindrance if she activates it out of immediate fear or if a teammate is too close. Any opponent that touches her while her semblance is activated gets rushed with a wave of poison. Smaller-medium sized enemies usually keel over in less than 15 seconds, but the bigger they are, the longer they take to die; ancient Grimm merely get sick and semi-paralyzed. It isn't lethal to humans, it only causes stomach pains and a fever. If she keeps her semblance activated for more than five minutes, she will pass out and she will fall ill. She's never down less than a day, though, when that happens.
Strengths: ✔ Instincts: She just has good intuition. ✔ Accuracy: Even without her enhanced goggles, she generally never misses a shot. Its contradictory to her being a snake faunus, but she just chalks it up to luck. ✔ Speed: Agility is surely useful during fights, especially with Grimm. She loves running and cardio, and her training pays off on the battlefield. She almost glides around. ✔ Proactive: When she sees an opportunity, most likely, she'll roll those dice and take the chance. Some might consider it a weakness, but its saved her more than hinder.
Weaknesses: ✘ Comradery: Morgan isn't one to join in during celebrations or enjoy team building exercises. She's more interested in getting through the academy and succeeding. ✘ Range: Being a primarily long range fighter, even with short range weaponry, at most she can merely defend herself. Medium to short range are not her strong suits. ✘ Orders: She is not the best at giving instruction. And, honestly, she's not the best at waiting for them either. She's quick to act alone, but if given a task, she'll do it. ✘ Defense: Her only true line of defense are her stun bullets and her semblance. She doesn't carry a shield or anything. Her speed helps make up what she lacks.
Likes: ✔ Black coffee ✔ Fresh laundry ✔ Starry nights ✔ The beach
❖ Morgan doesn't tend to freely participate in conversation. If she knows a person well enough, she doesn't have a problem, but even then she can be rather short. Her sister was eighteen when Morgan was born, so they weren't ever close, and Morgan spent her life alone. It wasn't a depressing "alone," she just always preferred it. She isn't the type to put her life on the line for any stranger. If she's close to someone, sure, she'll defend them until the end. She will also act in a situation if it is expected of her, but not always on her own, more worried over self-preservation than heroism. It almost skews her desire to be a Huntress. Though, she's always wanted that for the title alone, and as an excuse to leave Atlas altogether. Being a Huntress is her freedom. None of this is to say she can't be kind and caring, but she doesn't carry much empathy. Children, for example, she will always lie her life down for.
History: ❖ Morgan grew up in a rather strict family. Her father is still a soldier in the Atlas military and her mother is a professional Huntress hailing from Menagerie, having gone to Atlas Academy herself. When she could walk, her father set out a myriad of weapons, and she would choose her weapon by waddling over to it. She chose a gun, so she was trained to be an excellent marksman. Her father drilled this into her and took her to shooting ranges nearly every day for a while, but her mother stopped that and tried to train the girl in some short range techniques. How to use an enemy's weight against them, how to find multiple routes of escape, and other various lessons. They stuck, but it didn't take long for Morgan to grow bored of the self defense exercises. She would return to her father and beg him to set up a shooting range for them. He was more than happy to oblige. While her childhood was indeed strict and rigid, she soaked it all up. At least she was getting paid attention to.
❖ The friction came when Morgan wanted to follow in her elder sister's footsteps and become a Huntress. Her father insisted she would attend Atlas and join the military, not take on jobs and tasks on her own. Her mother was always on his side, it seemed, so she was no help during the many, many heated arguments. Morgan didn't like what her father expected of her and she fought against it. Her sister is eighteen years older than her, but they were still close when Morgan was growing up. They visited often and Azul would use her own broad sword to spar with Morgan. Her older sister's strength and tenacity was what inspired the younger to became a Huntress. She wanted that freedom, that sense of being yourself. She would never get that from the Atlas military. Morgan and her father fought tooth and nail, but eventually she conceded and agreed to attend Atlas under the guise of following her father's desires. In reality, as soon as she graduates, she plans on running away and never looking back.
Outfits: ❖ Day-to-Day: Her normal, battle attire as seen in the accompanying image. ❖ Academy Uniform: As seen here. Worn during class and on school outings. ❖ Casual Attire: [1][2][3][4].

Username: VJammer Name: Auburn Nickname: Abby Race: Horse Faunus Ethnicity: Caucasian Gender: Female Orientation: Pansexual Alignment: LN Academy: Beacon Age: 18 (2nd year?) Birthday: July 5 Height: 6’3” Combat Type: Specializes in CQC, but can deal with ranged if needed Weapon(s):Judgement Judgement is a massive six-foot long sword, but, has no unique properties other than that. However, her boots and bracers are equipped with mini cannon-like guns that fire off dust rounds and the bracers can deploy into gauntlets when she wishes to switch to hand-to-hand. Dust Skill: Earth: Adept Wind: Adept Fire: Adept Water: Adept Gravity: Moderate Lightning: Moderate Semblance: Stallion’s Strength: Auburn’s semblance is a passive one that enhances her Strength, Speed, Agility, Endurance, Durability, and even recovery by strengthening her muscles directly. She can semi-activate it to give her an even greater boost, though, doing so can lead to painful and sometimes severe injury and cannot be sustained for long periods of time.
Weaknesses: ✘ Not as good at range, but, reasonably capable. ✘ Tends to tank hits rather than go on the defensive. ✘ Stubborn. Don’t make any mule jokes.
Likes: ✔ Carrots ✔ Apples ✔ Those with backbone ✔ Those who would stand up for others ✔ Sports ✔ Sparring
Dislikes: ✘ White Fang ✘ Bullies ✘ Racism ✘ Those who ignore bullies
Personality: ❖ Auburn is a very straightforward and strong-willed girl. She will not tolerate any form of ‘intolerable behavior’ and isn’t afraid to step in. While she’d prefer to settle things amicably, she has no objections to using her fists to settle something. Down-to-earth and active, she can be very easy to get along with, but her temper can be fierce if you get on her bad side.
History: ❖ (Nothing in her history is explicit or graphic, but her history is reasonably dark, so, just a heads up)
Auburn has a...complicated past. The first significant point to know is that, Auburn is not her given name. She doesn’t even remember what it is. When she was very young, too young to remember, her parents were protesting the relevantly new militant regime within the White Fang. Those in charge labeled them traitors and murdered them in cold blood. At only two or three, she was taken in by the White Fang to be ‘Educated’ in how the Faunus should be the dominant species and that Humans were little more than slaves to them. But, she was blessed with a kind heart.
Over the years, it became more and more obvious that the lessons didn’t seem to stick to her, and so, she was forced to fight Humans the White Fang had captured. And a match wouldn’t be called until there was a death. Her first kill was at only six years old. As the years wore on, she continued to protest the violence, and continued to be tossed into death matches in the hope of desensitizing her. And for every hesitation or instance of ‘traitorous speech’, she was flogged or lashed mercilessly. By ten years of age, it became apparent that she had a gift for fighting. A gift beyond that of her experiences in the matches. Her semblance was active and she rapidly grew in strength and resilience. She was a weapon.
Not long after this discovery, they began keeping her in shackles, beating her without reason, and tossing her into matches more and more frequently, or against more and more opponents. Finally, at age sixteen, she’d been able to incapacitate her guards on the way to the ‘pit’ and took their weapons while freeing herself. Fortunately, one of them was quite large, so, she took his uniform and mask and made her escape. It wasn’t until she reached the outer wall of the base that anything was discovered and she managed to fight her way through the rest of it. Once outside, she ran. She had no clue where she was, but she simply ran until she collapsed. When she woke, she was in a bed, being treated by a huntswoman who found her. After a lengthy conversation where Auburn relayed her experiences, the huntswoman suggested becoming a Huntress and pointed her in the direction of Vale. She kept using the basic sword she took from the White Fang member, but, during her first year at Beacon, she went about crafting her own dust-capable equipment to supplement it.
If you're looking for your character to be accepted, they need to be posted in this thread for approval before their own thread is created. I can't judge or accept her unless posted here.
Username: konaustin Name: Ivory Sanguine Nickname: Bloody Ivory Race: Human Ethnicity:Caucasian Gender:Female Orientation:Unsure Alignment:Chaotic Good Academy:Beacon Age:[16 Birthday:December 3rd Height:5'4 Combat Type:Acrobatic Gun Kata and mid range firearms. Weapon(s):Aquetas &Veritas - Double action quick load , .44 revolvers , each with a whip beneath the barrel released and reeled in by a second trigger in front of the primary one. Dust Skill: Relatively low, beyond knowing the effects of dust and how to use them she isn't particularly creative in using it.
Chambers dust bullets into the chambers of her revolver or unto a chamber in the base of the grip to channel into the whips below the barrels. Ivory tends to carry mostly fire and ice type ammunition as well as regular rounds, but carries some lightning types and at least two gravity crystals as well.
Semblance:Unspeakable- A horrifying semblance similar to astral projection. With this Ivory converts her aura into a physical state resembling a frightening entity simply called the Unspeakable, a smokey monster that surrounds Ivory and acts on her behalf , absorbing a fair amount of physical damage though offering no protection from anything beyond that. with double her strength and more than triple her reach. (stands roughly 8'4 with a linear arm reach of 15 ft) Though it appears incorporeal, it is very much a physical thing , just highly malleable , it also seems able to bite when it's fully formed, and leave gouges in granite with the claws that tip its hands
Ivory does not have complete control over her semblance, because of this she can partially manifest a single limb of the Unspeakable while conscious, usually to perform simple tasks and reach far away items (single arm reach is around 35 ft as the entirety of her semblance isn't forced into a single form), but to use it completely, she undergoes a sort of self hypnosis , sending her into a trance where she is all but asleep, letting her semblance take complete shape. In doing this however , her semblance is wild and unfettered, acting solely by her subconscious thoughts, making it seem angry, frightened and anxious, giving a look into Ivory's mind below the surface. She can be knocked out of this state by getting to her physical body within the Unspeakable and either slapping her awake a few times, or pulling her out, though a better option is to somehow placate her with soothing words, which takes more time but results in a temporarily more controlled entity before eventually receding back into Ivory.
Strengths: ✔ Semblance makes her ideal for both a light tank and team support role ✔ Unpredictable fighting style ✔ Superb fighting instinct with training from a former huntress
Weaknesses: ✘ Relies a little too much on her semblance's ability to heal , making her a little careless ✘ Doesn't really form strategies, instead relies almost purely on instinct by acting in the moment ✘ Incredibly difficult to understand what she means at times, making teamwork almost impossible to anyone that doesn't know her
Likes: ✔ Being Helpful ✔ Muffins ✔ Having her head pet ✔ Tea
Dislikes: ✘ Toast ✘ Being yelled at ✘ Seeing others hurt ✘ Basements or cellars of any kind
Personality: ❖Ivory is an oddball for anyone meeting her for the first time. It's hard to pin down just where she's at intellectually as she tends to behave like a child , holding stranger's hands when she wants to cross a street, becoming easily distracted, or breaking down into tears when she's frustrated or has her, admittedly fragile, feelings hurt. Despite this she's clearly quite intuitive and very quick on the uptake for just about anything. On top of that she seems to have a prodigious memory, recalling things from her past in great detail. Perhaps her oddest attribute, besides her willingness to self harm, is her habit of speaking only by quoting things she's heard before. This tends to limit her ability to speak yet causes her to say profound things for scenarios that don't necessarily require it. On top of that she seems to almost immediately understand most phrases she's heard and their context, yet she seems to have a hard time understanding individual words and their meanings. Why this is...is quite frankly anybody's guess but it'll take some work to somehow fish it out of her.
History: ❖ Despite her bubbly and helpful nature, Ivory's life has been filled with heartbreak and loneliness. She was born to a former huntress, Ebony Sanguine, forced to retire due to a severe injury and was deemed unqualified for instructor positions at academies, and even security work. Eventually Ebony was forced into degrading menial labor, particularly working as a live in maid for a wealthy dust mine owner who eventually became the father of Ivory, though he would not openly admit this. Ebony was allowed to raise Ivory on her employer's estate and would have most of what she needed provided for her while her mother would take care of her education herself.
The lady of the estate however, knew Ivory was her husband's b*****d child and detested the very fact she existed. When Ivory was only 5 years old she was sent to clean the kennels of the estate where she was unknowingly set up to be killed by the Lady, who released her favorite hound to attack the child. This however forced Ivory's semblance to awaken as she was cornered between a gate and a wall with nothing more than chainlink separating her and the jaws of an enormous hound, the girl tearfully recited phrases from her favorite stories, reaching for something familiar until she came to her favorite, "By the pricking of my Thumbs, something Wicked this way comes". This phrase caused Ivory to go into a trance like state where thick black smoke poured from her mouth and surrounded her in the shape of a horrific creature which attacked the hound, tearing it to pieces with ease.
Ebony, and to a much more subdued extent her employer, was ecstatic that her child not only survived, but had a powerful semblance to boot and had a bright future as a huntress when she was old enough. The lady of the estate was far from happy about this and would take every chance to attempt to kill Ivory whenever she found her alone, and when that clearly didn't work, she settled for simply abusing the girl instead.
Over the years Ivory developed an antisocial disorder from her constant fear of being beaten, being locked in a dark cellar for days at a time made her claustrophobic , and her lack of any contact with other children her age caused her to develop a mental disorder that prevented her from understanding proper human interaction or speech. She was even forbidden lessons from her mother, which she would still receive but only on rare occasions, but ultimately did her best to excel at whatever she did. She was an excellent cook and maid, skilled animal handler, and had even secretly worked on developing her semblance to help around the house. Shortly after turning 14, Ivory was called to the chambers of the Lady of the house, who attempted to brand her simply for amusement. At this point Ivory had had enough and fought off the abusive woman, accidentally knocking over a brazier full of burning coals and started a fire that quickly engulfed the entire house. Ivory attempted to find her mother and searched everywhere, but only succeeded in finding her old weapons hidden beneath their bed. The flames were eventually doused and her father was left relatively unharmed, his wife burned beyond recognition but alive, but Ebony was nowhere to be found, even amongst the bodies. Devastated and not wanting to be left in the care of her illegitimate father and his wife, Ivory took what little she had, (the clothes on her back, a small purse with some money, and her mother's weapons) and left the place she'd reluctantly called home to make a new life and find her mother. For the next several years Ivory wandered from place to place, riding with caravans, stopping off in villages, and cities , always working odd jobs with the skills she had, and doing relatively well for herself. She even met several huntsmen and huntresses along the way who knew her mother and taught her a few tricks and skills essential to fighting and surviving. She still wanders from time to time but has stopped off at an academy , hoping to learn to better defend herself and to find information on her missing mother.
Items: ❖ Bullets- At least 48 regular bullets at any time on her person, two quick load cylinders of Fire, Ice and Lightning dust bullets, and two carefully guarded high caliber gravity bullets. (Do not ask her where she keeps all of this) ❖ Books- She has a LOT of these, some short stories, while most of her collection is kept on her scroll which she reads when traveling. Her pried possession is a worn, leatherbound first edition of an obscure horror author
Other: ❖ She's surprisingly literate, often found reading when she's alone, and is an avid cleaner and cook. ❖ Despite looking not at all like a huntress, Ivory is deceptively strong and quick. By no means is she surpassing human limits, but years of off and on training from professionals on top of days or weeks of walking at a time, and over a decade of manual labor day in and day out, have all made her incredibly strong for her size. How strong? Well she easily is able to bench and hold her own weight of 120lbs, and she regularly lifted bags of fertilizer or flour weighing anywhere between 50 and 100lbs with a single arm each. In short, She wields as much physical strength as a professional athlete and maintains it through work, but she wont be breaking any records without help from her semblance.
Thanks for the submission! I have a few questions/comments for it, however. 1. You mention in her profile that she's going to school but don't list an Academy for her in her profile, if it's one of the hunter academies, please put which in the "Academy" section of the profile. If not, then don't worry about it. 2. Dust skill is Ivory's experience using dust. While what you have listed is fine, please mention her capability using different kinds of dust. 3. Ivory's Semblance: Semblance's usually do one thing and then have a visual effect or or a consequence, not several. What you have here is quite complicated, so I would suggest choosing one aspect of it and then honing in on it such as the healing factor.
Let us know when you've made the appropriate changes, and I can look over her profile again.
Ill get to work on the edits when I get some time off work, though the semblance is something I thought of considering Weiss's semblance. Granted those are external and visible glyphs, they are all part of a semblance surrounding a single concept, in the case of Ivory it's body horror instead of glyphs. ((Also there's already a healing factor, based on the canon everyone's aura heals minor injuries as well as protects from harm to a degree))

Weiss's glyphs do two things at most: push/pull physics and summons. Even at that point, hers is an incredibly unique phenomena of a hereditary semblance. All other effects her glyphs have usually have the introduction of dust. It doesn't have numerous other effects. I'm aware of the fact everyone has a minor healing factor given their aura; however, it's obviously not as intense as Ivory's^^; Which is why I made that the suggestion is all.

Well there's also the summoning and time dilation glyphs, but that's neither here nor there, the augmented healing is something I included because not only would she be forcibly contorting her body in ways that would cause either death or severe permanent injury if someone outside of cirque du soleil tried it, but she lacks the shielding that most people get from their aura, meaning she takes a hit and she takes it full on.
I can make the semblance something else if you want but writing up something new will take a bit
