Custom Techniques! An element of fighting in the RWBY universe. Everyone has a semblance, a blade, or even a gun but what makes a person special. It depends on how you use them. You got a speed type of semblance? That's great and all but how do you craft it into a useful burst? Techniques doesn't mean you can't use your Semblance in any way you want. Techniques are more like your identifiers. The common ways that you use your semblance that have become a staple to your arsenal. The way you fight. The way you mold yourself. They come with benefits of course. Less aura drain as they are something you do over and over, you come a customed to it. Also possesses boosts. Sword attack? Depending on rank, can add + to a stat or two. For example, you have a fire semblance. You like a fire bender. SO what? You can shoot flames and fight with them. That's cool, but how do you harness these flames besides shooting randomly? Possible techniques could include creating a fire tornado, creating a fire ball like a Uchiha. Or even focusing your aura and semblance to create a super nova bomb onto opponents. But techniques aren't just for aura. There can be hand to hand, weapons, and others of the like. The revolution can be televised. There are many things left unseen and undone. Become the innovator. Fly like a butterfly, sting lie a bee, burn like a star, and freeze like a mighty blizzard.
