█BACKGROUND ▬ Richard was set to have a cozy life from the start. He was born into a rather well off family who decided to live life on the edge. Even against the judgment of a bunch of people, they decided to move outside of the safety of the Vale stronghold. However this would turn out to be their undoing. While both of his parents were skilled hunters, they would eventually fall while protecting their home and family. Richard was saved by a family friend who happened to answer the distress beacon, though with grave injuries. Unfortunately the savior would pass on soon after reaching Vale. Due to this, the young boy was left alone in the world. Eventually getting taken up by an orphanage, the boy would turn his grievance into his inspiration. He vowed to protect others from a dreadful demise by the hands of Grimm. Shaping up he trained, studied, and did everything into his power to make it through school. He even got the gall to escape the boundaries of Vale to go back to his old home. There he would acquire a few family heirlooms being two marriage bracelets and his parents weaponry. He performed a proper burial for him long deceased family to set his heart at ease before returning to the stronghold. With his parents memory in mind, he strives forward as a new student to Beacon academy.
█ █ ╫ I N V E N T O R Y ╫
█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Stolthet & Plikt █ ▬ Stolthet is Richard's lance that was inherited to him by his father, while Plikt is the shield of his mother. Stolthet is a heavy lance and Plikt is a shield take can hold/utilize dust. Both have been augmented to be able to fuse into two forms, Rettferdighet and Rattvisa. █Melee Form ▬ Stolthet & Plikt: Your standard lance and shield form. Stab with the sharp stick and block with the hardy shield. The shield can release dust with a bash if needed. █Ranged Form ▬ Rattvisa: Fuses the lance and shield together to form a crossbow like shotgun. It fires normal shells but losses effectiveness with distance quickly. Has low ammo capacity of 4. █Other Form(s) ▬ Rettferdighet: Fuses the lance and shield together to form a heavy mace. This hits hard with blunt attacks and can utilize the dust in the shield much like the shield. However these are released in shock waves being much more powerful in comparison to the bash. █Ammo Type ▬ Physical shells and Dust for shield █ ▬ While the weapon does have multiple forms, its mainly useful in close quarters. Standard form is good on defense but not good at damaging multiple targets. Shotgun form loses damage/accuracy over distance. The heavy mace sacrifices defense for hard slow hits.
█*NAME ▬ Aura Coating █*AURA COLOR ▬ Dark Purple █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Richard is able to pour his aura around objects he is in contact with to coat it with his aura. This increases the objects durability, size, mass, and without increasing the actual weight of the object itself. The objects themselves don't actually increase in size, but are surrounded by his purple aura retaining the shape of said objects. Preferably he aura coats weapons to increase their overall strength. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ Objects or weapons that Richard coats will increase in size, mass, and durability by 50%. Can have an object/ weapon coated for up to 2 posts after activation. (0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ Now coated objects or weapons can increase in durability, size, and mass up to 100%. He can freely choose to independently increase one of the three factors instead of all at once. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ Now coated objects or weapons can increase in durability, size, and mass up to 150%. He can now manipulate the shape of the aura coating the objects. (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Now coated objects or weapons can increase in durability, size, and mass up to 200%. His aura usage for coating objects and weapons is reduced allowing his to have them coated for up to 5 posts. (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ When Richard activates his semblance, his protective aura around his body is switched off entirely. This means he is able to take physical injury upon being hit directly while in effect. He must have physical contact with the object or weapon he wants to coat with his aura. As well coating an object does take a strain on his current aura reserves, especially if he chooses to maintain the coat. Example: choosing to keeping objects coated for 2 posts at levels 0-2 eats away at 25% of his aura reserves, this being the same amount for 5 posts at level 3.

❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Hello, my name is Youroka Kage, and I'll be judging your profile today!
❖OK! So how long of a delay is your semblance at level 0 for turning it on and off? Also, how long can your semblance last at this level? ❖So with level 2, are you increasing the power of the attack that you are doing, or taking the hit from them and adding your strength to theirs? ❖ To me, it seems like your Semblance drawback doesn't really have enough. Yes, you are canceling out kinetic energy, but you don't explain what the strain is. I'd like to know what it actually does to your body.
For starters, the delay is around 2 seconds for it to become active at level 0. It basically takes time for his Semblance to effect his entire body and it takes the same time for him to shut it off. So for 4 seconds he is basically stuck being frozen just for the activation/deactivation for this ability. Which in combat that is quite awhile.
Level 2 doesn't increase Richard's strength or his attack power. Before level 2 anything that hits him basically just stops any momentum going into him. For example; lets say a ball hits him, instead of it bouncing back it just instantly drops to the ground. After level 2 however, that ball gets bounced back at double the force it applied to him. Force is being reflected instead of being completely nullified.
So lets see a good way to put this. You know how aura basically protects its users from damage? Well the strain mentioned is something along the lines of not only aura exhaustion but physical exhaustion as well. Its like after lifting a heavy weight over and over again. Eventually your body can't lift it any more due it being tired out. Though it affects his entire body instead of a certain portion. While no physical or life threatening injuries happen, his body will eventually give out and he wont be able to move if his body takes too much strain.
Though I might want to change out the upgrade paths on his semblance a bit more. Of course if you have any thoughts you are willing to share feel free too.
Update: So I made some changes to the semblance that you might want to look at. Are these okay?

❖The only thing I need is the maximum time in posts that you can activate the Semblance in total. ^.^;
Added in duration for keeping active and how long he can use the semblance in combat. This changes with each level so hopefully that is okay. ^_^
