And especially left with handling a particularly powerful Grimm. █PERSONALITY TRAITS █Nature ▬ Tends to be moody and hilariously negative when under stress. Other than that, Rei is a gentle and kind soul, who loves to believe in the purpose of the 'greater good' rather than act selfishly towards people who don't deserve it. Most people wouldn't know what to make of her. She is a daydreamer but knows how to throw a quick down-to-Earth quip or two if the situation calls for it. She makes up for her small frame by being elaborate in her plans and ambitions, and she's easily the type to ride highs to a whole other new level. Even so, she knows when to shut up and listen or to apologize when it's called for, possessing a humble acknowledgment towards her limits and her personal imperfections. But deep inside, Rei has a dark outlook in life, often understanding that everything comes at a price and that many are made to live a life full of suffering. This has caused her to be wary of what she speaks, and even more wary of who she speaks to. And, even then, she constantly comes across as the shy, observant and quiet type to everyone. Still, she can be quite blunt with her overall opinions on people. Ever detail-oriented, the perfectionist Rei always finds something to improve and fix with her life and her surroundings. But if there's one thing she's good at, however, is that she has a good and strong sense of people, and can read almost everyone she's met with both convictions and with a ring of utter truth to it. She goes out of her way to never seem pushy or condescending and believes that kindness and fairness is an overall higher priority rather than being a successful or well-respected (or, worse, feared) individual. █Vernacular ▬ Has a slight and subtle Asiatic accent, typical of someone of East Asian descent. She isn't the most vocal person ever; she has the voice of a child and often speaks in hushed tones and rhythms. █Positive Traits ▬ Has a strong sense of justice (however, she does not actually believe in a universal justice system), responsibility (she always takes credit for her actions aswell as the actions of others) and 'care ethics' (which is a normative ethical theory that holds that moral action centers on interpersonal relationships and care or benevolence as a virtue). Always acting with a strong moral compass, Rei knows the difference between justice and revenge. █Negative Traits ▬ She is always self-conscious in an attempt to control her moodiness and values self-love above all else. Rei often tries to make-up for the things she lacks by taking great risks and odd assignments in order to seek ways to drive herself on and improve herself. Even if it means risking her life for a fruitless cause; ever the risk-taker, Rei isn't afraid to push herself farther than most, but knows when to stick to the rules and her self-coded morals.
█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Reikka Rubrum Cerulean was born an only child into a wealthy family in Vale. Her family was an influential one that was born and bred in the city. Being born into such prestige and expectation marked her destiny from the very beginning and, pretty soon, it was clear that she was fated to be one of the best. But there was one thing that stood in the way: the fact that nobody took her seriously due to her youthful dispositions. Along with her wealthy family, Rei was born looking much younger than those who are of the same age as her. She was slow to take hints and was always expected to act accordingly. But Rei, ever undaunted and determined, never let her oddities nor the expectations of others get in the way of her dreams. She had carried all the hopes and aspirations of her parents and does her best to never let anyone down, even though she has a clear visual line of her limitations and weaknesses. A simple girl at heart, she was never one to turn down learning a new language or mastering a new way to fight. Whatever helped her live her life in a larger way, she was always down for it. But, soon the wealth of her family dwindled into almost nothing, and she was left to make her way in the streets. Encouraged by her ailing parents, Reikka continues to make her way in the world, sometimes stumbling here and there with nobody else to catch her. This all changed when she began attending Beacon. Her only comfort was school, which she found was such a simple and progressive way to spend her time. She was happy to be with a crowd she felt like she belonged in.
Since Rei was a little slow on the physical uptake when it concerns such aspects and had no interest in being a socialite, nobody would have guessed that she had any remarkable semblance-related powers of any sort. But Rei broke through everyone expectations by displaying her latent powers that revolve around the mysterious substance called 'ectoplasm', which is generated by her aura, when she was only ten. On her first battle, she made a choice: To stand and fight... or wither and die. Ever brave and bold, Rei chose the former, making a name for herself and piquing everyone's interest with her unique semblance. Rei, who was told by her parents that the day she gives up is the day she stops getting better, takes her training quite seriously since the very moment she decided to expose her true talent and nature for all to see. She has made it her personal crusade to improve her powers. She wasn't afraid of anything... until the day that she met her first Grimm. It was the worst memory she has to this date; people were running and screaming to leave the large mall complex when they reported that a Grimm had somehow manifested in the public area. So many people died that day, and none could have ever foreseen such a catastrophe. It was an especially powerful and vicious Grimm which wasn't afraid to corner her around a bunch of dead bodies. But, soon, a squad arrived to dispose of the evil entity, and there she stood transfixed, watching as the Grimm took down numerous members of the alleged school before it was finally destroyed. Since then, she had sworn to go to Beacon and be the best huntress she can be. Without actually getting herself killed, of course.
Also, for most of her life, Rei has made very few friends. Most people would just judge her to be a 'high-maintenance' and 'too upper class' kind of gal. But those she deems and considers her friends are immediately under her protection and she's willing to trust them and give her life for her comrades. This is demonstrated when she remembers little personal details about a person: such as their semblance, where they're from or their aura color. She has always been willing to be in constructive relationships that benefit the majority rather than a single individual. Yet her life wasn't what it is without further strife. Reikka has constantly struggled to control herself during the majority of her life due to the furtive nature of her red aura, causing her to believe she will never accomplish her goals or find any shred of peace. And yet she continues to fight for her position as a member of Vale's society. Ever since that day, she has suffered from PTSD and doesn't react well if something causes her to remember that particular day. But always confident of the outcomes and keen to get over the trauma of the past, she has put some faith in her destiny that she knows she must possess in order to survive in a school that is filled to the brim in competition. Still, she knows the only way to overcome those experiences is by being herself, all the while finding it difficult to explain her condition without others giving her strange looks in return. For a long time, she had to deal with people who just wouldn't understand her, as well as handle the judging eyes of those who never quite understood how semblances worked. This, in turn, has turned her into a sullen and stoic individual. Still, she keeps herself focused on what she needs to do, and living in the moment is what Rei knows best. She knows this is the only way to stand.
It all began for her when she was twelve, as she was being taught the family business of providing and transporting much-needed goods and supplies to all corners of Vale. As she sat in the wooden cart filled with fruits, she was struck by this sudden creative impulse to play a trick on the delivery people as well as the people in the fruit shop. She began making the fruit glow, making a whole pile which they shifted and loaded into the shop like the rest of the cargo. Around 24-hours later, they were called by the fruit shop, where the owner had a fearful tone in his voice. He complained that the fruit glowed in front of his very eyes, and he wouldn't believe it until he touched the pile with his bare hands. The young Rei heard her father take the call and retreated further in her studies by burying her face in a book, giggling at their spooked demeanor. Four years later, after her parents and everyone else discovered her abilities, they beseech her to speak to a professor in her school who knew about her talent for making ectoplasm. After their initial meeting, he invited her to his place, in which Rei quickly agreed to the meeting after realizing he wanted nothing more than to help her. When she knocked on his door, she was greeted with tea and cakes and a staff made of a kind of metal that could channel ectoplasm. He showed her how to use it, taking it apart and revealing the blades within. Rei was absolutely transfixed and asked him how it was made or how he had come about the weapon. He then said he had no idea how it was made, for it was given to him by Rei's family several generations ago to keep it safe and hidden. Rei took it, though still wary of the weapon since she had no idea what its origins were.
█ █ ╫ I N V E N T O R Y ╫
█ PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ [Lunition Staff] █ ▬ It is an old weapon rumored to have been created by a technician student who was known to make beta weapons for hunters as a hobby. It is approximately 5 feet long and 1 inch wide. █ Melee Form ▬ The strange and the ductile combination of metals within is actually what helps it to take hits. It's made of various metals: Iron, steel and a dash of platinum. █ Ranged Form ▬ None █ Other Forms (s) ▬ Take it apart and it becomes a deadly bladed weapon. It contains small magnets at its rings that help keep the weapon in one piece when not using its blades. The blades are about half as long as the staff, which makes the blades 3 feet long. █ Ammo Type ▬ None █ ▬ It takes a while to learn new tricks on it as it is rather cumbersome to handle if one does not know how to fight well with it. The metallic structure at its core is tremendously resilient... yet, it takes a great deal of effort to clean and maintain its blades. Its parts are old and faded. It also lacks in ranged attacks, since its main purpose is being used in melee-based fighting and, therefore, possesses nothing ranged-based. It is an overtly simple weapon that is very straight-forward in its function and operates with a permissible fighting-style. It's lighter than it looks, and must not be dropped from great heights (dropping it from a 4-story-high building could seriously damage it). A serious jolt could alter and damage it from sticking back together as well as temporarily deter its aura-channeling capabilities due to the fact it was one of the test weapons for easier handling of aura. This is due to the weapon actually interfering with the aura in an ‘effort’ to help it in order to function. So being carelessly dropped keeps it out of alignment and when being used in combat, the weapon fights the user's aura when the aura tries to coat the weapon.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Always carries a bunch of sheathed daggers with her wherever she goes. She has 5 in total and they are approximately tailor-made for her size, being 5 and a half inches long. █ ▬ A Tonfa (Okinawan: トンファー tonfā, Malay: topang, Chinese: 柺; pinyin: guǎi) - also known as tong fa', tonqua or tuifa, is a melee weapon best known for its role in the armed component of Okinawan martial arts. She uses this often for training. *Note: Read about 'Kobudo'. █ITEMS █ ▬ Brought flasks and vials filled with special ingredients (which are mostly herbs). █ ▬ Carries special books filled with ancient runes that are about medicine and brewing. She cannot read them yet. █ ▬ A pocket-watch made of stainless steel hanging on a matching chain given to her by her grandmother.
█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Excess Ecto-Bleed █*AURA COLOR ▬ Garnet Red █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ █ ▬ Also known as 'Ectokinesis'. Her semblance allows Reikka to create, shape and manipulate extra-planar energy called ectoplasm (which comes from the roots 'ektos' meaning “outside” and 'plasma' meaning “something formed or molded”) by going into a trance-like state when extracting ectoplasm from her personal self, in a way 'bleeding' it out by allowing it to emit and flow out of the castor in order for it to be sculpted and molded into different forms whilst her eye color changes to red to signify her semblance is active. She can generate and create things using ectoplasm. This includes being able to heat it, mold it and store it within herself, able to fashion various synthetic entities almost exactly like the original. The 'plasma' solidly remains at a cold temperature (as ectoplasmic energy is considered chilly), so the material remains vastly cool, versatile and gel-like to slime-like in substance, and is usually so so that it can be molded properly.
What Can Be Made: Its form can range from a "misty vapor", "viscous gelatin", a "bundle of fine threads" or a "fine, fabric-like tissue", that can also be solidified and used for material purposes. With each level, she gains access to new forms of ectoplasm, unable to use one without first mastering the other. The ectoplasm she creates can come in helpful forms or harmful forms, though these are of course tied to levels.
█*LEVEL 0 ▬ Only comes in faint traces of "misty vapor", which can be used for entertainment. This substance only comes in more smoky, solid and tangible forms and, therefore, cannot go through other objects as of yet. Her max aura at this level is: 6 A) The combat applications of this vapor are limited as its only good for basic physical boosts, that can only be applied to her. The range of casting is limited to a single meter. She must cast symbols and shapes above herself for the boost to work, and it cannot be cast inside a physical object. The boosts work by infusing her aura into a form of ‘consumable’ energy that is similar to sugar, which is absorbed through the body and burned like fuel. When using this on herself it provides a temporary 30% boost of movement speed, stamina, strength, dexterity, and intelligence. These boosts last for five (5) posts. One post must be made in between activations for each boost. Uses two (2) aura units per use. B) Sometimes she can create a luminous form of ectoplasm which makes her glow. When extracted it can be used to create constructs that can glow with a non-toxic, glow-stick effect. She generates this randomly and often cannot control the strength or faintness of its luminosity. But she guesses that the healthier she is, the brighter and clearer it glows. Luminosity lasts for three to four (3-4) posts. Once again this depends on her health. It takes one to two (1-2) units of aura energy to make this kind of ectoplasm. (Level 0//0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ She is now able to create "viscous gelatin" forms. At this level, because of its unstable, esoteric properties, ectoplasm reacts to normal matter/energy in unusual and useful ways, including being able to ignore most of them. Her max aura at this level is: 9 C) She may now boost herself and two other persons. This takes two (2) units of energy which lasts for four (4) posts. D) She can also make a cream-like substance from the spiritual ectoplasm that helps heal and soothe wounds; something for scratches and gashes that acts as an effective painkiller or antibiotic as it burns the bacteria and quarters the wound. It’s a short-term solution for both larger and minor wounds, though much like field dressings its only good for a short period healing which lasts for four (4) posts. A simple wound uses 2 units of aura, while a large wound uses 6 units of aura. This, however, can cause issues with proper healing semblances as it gets ‘in the way’ and it cannot stop internal wounds. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ At this level, ectoplasm now comes in a "fine, fabric-like tissue" form, which is used to form protective layers that can be used to make temporary casts and binders. Her max aura at this level is: 14 E) She may now boost herself and three other people. This takes four (4) units of energy which lasts for six (6) posts. F) The gelatin can also be wrapped or enveloped onto physical surfaces, creating a sort of protective bandage layer made of ectoplasmic goo. The same goo consistency is also used to create a regular 'glue', which acts as a quick-dry, see-through glue solution, though it requires a few seconds to ‘set’. Movement or breathing on it upsets this and it stays in a liquidy goo form if not properly allowed to set. Lasts up to six (6) posts. She can only make a certain amount of this and is not used for anything else other than glue for casts. She can make up to 2 liters of this stuff (without straining her ectoplasm reserve) per battle. The ectoplasm disappears once it dries. Costs three to four (3-4) units of aura to make a glued cast, depending on how extensive the damage is. (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Ectoplasm comes in "bundles of fine threads" form. This is good for binding, stitching, and fixing purposes. She can create a dozen (12) of these threads at the same time. Her max aura at this level is: 18 G) Can also be used for 'Astral Projection'. You can project yourself almost anywhere. The thread can be cut, though it would be very hard to spot. The thread is a trail of wispy lights which can only be seen at a certain spectrum or with a darker background. It is basically an inverse version of the regular visual of the ectoplasm. If the thread is cut the projector is left floating in the void for a while before the body dies. Can project for twelve (12) posts. Also, the chord can only go 100 meters in radius. This just allows the user to 'ghost' around, but still unable to interact with the world. It's like viewing the world in a bubble; everything is hazy, grainy and sounds are muffled. Being able to ghost around means the projected soul can go through solid objects. Vision is the same as normal vision, only less colorful and vibrant. The body is also left vulnerable to attacks while the spirit is away from the body. Dust sticks out more and is less hazy due to its soul-like properties. Post cooldown is fifteen (15) posts in between usages. H) The threads dig into the object or structure, allowing her to infuse the outer and inner parts with ectoplasm temporarily, converting it and making it intangible or invisible or both. It leaves the influenced unharmed, intact and whole. She has to maintain physical contact with the object to keep it in that state. The hardness of the surface does not deter the threads from embedding into the surface. However, the radius is often set, at ten (10) feet maximum. Takes seven (7) units of aura per one (1) post of invisibility/intangibility. (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ ○ Drawing from the light and dark properties of ectoplasm may take a toll on the mental psyche, creating fluctuations in both the mood and the emotion of the castor, leaving them drained, confused and unstable. Without a great deal of mental fortitude, these powers cannot be used to maximum effect, as it is a type of power that only grows with a great deal of time, age and practice, as well as utilizing the construct of proper application. ○ The same boosts cannot be stacked but can be used only once around a certain duration. ○ If the soul cord is severed, she is left in astral form, unable to automatically pull herself back to her body. It means that she would have the remainder of her time to get back to her own body, or her body dies in seven (7) posts. ○ The boosts act as a temporary sugar rush. They'll feel drained once the boost effects disappear. They won't feel anything immediately; just really buzzed during the whole time until the boost is done. Then their body will realize how much energy they have expended. They also wouldn't be able to sleep while they're boosted since the mind will be in a state of hyperactivity. How long the draining effect lasts varies from individual to individual, but usually lasts no more than five to six (5-6) posts. ○ The longer she maintains physical contact, the harder it is to keep the threads in place. She also cannot influence 'Dust' with this ability.

█SKILLS & TALENTS █Primary Talent ▬ Possesses Super-Human Strength - When combining the energy of her two auras, this provides a temporary boost of energy, speed and strength (though it can only be applied to herself for the time-being). █Other Talents ▬ Negative & Positive Aura - There's a literal war of light and dark energy within her due to the fact that she constantly attempts to balance the two main types of auras she was born with.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ [Solisus] █ ▬ This staff was forged from the heart of a star. It's lighter than it looks. The special metal within is actually what helps it to consume ectoplasmic energy, although dust can also be used as an alternative fuel source. It is a complex weapon; perhaps, too complex for someone the likes of Rei. █Melee Form ▬ Take it apart and it becomes a deadly bladed weapon. The staff's handles become the blade. █Ranged Form ▬ In it's regular form, this staff can chuck various forms of ectoplasmic energy in whatever form (provided they are the proper level for it) generated and summoned by the user. █Other Form(s) ▬ The head detaches to extend into a cane, which helps in slippery terrain. Also, if activated, the staff becomes a strong magnet that attracts other metallic objects. █Ammo Type ▬ Her ammo comes from her aura, which come in the form of ectoplasmic energy. This energy can come in a variety of forms (solid, gaseous or liquidized) and it's uses are only limited by the user's level and imagination. █ ▬ It takes a while to learn new tricks on it as all of it's functions and configurations are not completely understood or expressed simultaneously. It is also immensely fragile on the outside. It's easy to chip it's decorative facade. However, the metallic structure at it's core is tremendously resilient... yet, it takes a great deal of effort to clean and maintain it's optimal inner workings.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Always carries a bunch of sheathed daggers with her wherever she goes. █ ▬ Brought a metallic fan with her --- it helps deflect sunlight and bullet-based attacks. █ ▬ Wears a bracelet that helps balance her double aura. █ITEMS █ ▬ Brought flasks and vials filled with special ingredients. █ ▬ Carries special books filled with ancient runes that are about alchemy and brewing. █ ▬ A pocket-watch made of stainless steel hanging on a matching chain given to her by her grandmother.

█*NAME ▬ Dark and Light Ectoplasm Manipulation Also Called: • Ectokinesis • Ectoplasmic Control/Manipulation • Ectoplasmic Energy Manipulation • Spectral Energy Manipulation • Spiritual Matter Manipulation █*AURA COLOR ▬ Garnet Red & Cerulean Blue █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ █ ▬ User can create, shape and manipulate extra-planar energy called ectoplasm, which comes from the roots 'ektos' meaning “outside” and 'plasma' meaning “something formed or molded”, as such it can be understood as a variable-state form of matter-energy coming from planes beyond the physical. Its form can range from "raw seething energy", a "misty vapor", a "viscous gelatin", a "bundle of fine threads", a "living membrane" or a "fine, fabric-like tissue", that can also be solidified and used for material purposes. With each level she gains access to new forms of ectoplasm, unable to use one without first mastering the other. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ Only comes in faint traces of "misty vapor" (which can be turned into basic shapes for entertainment) that stem from the aura at this level. Only good for basic physical boosts (enhances speed, agility, strength, eyesight such as nigh vision and increase in mental awareness). Must use a weapon to initiate spells and incantations. (Level 0//0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ Its form can change to "seething energy" and "viscous gelatin" form. Good for vaporizing from single to multiple targets (without the use of a weapon) or making creams made from the spiritual ectoplasm that help heal and soothe wounds. The castor is also able to create temporary limbs. However, trying to go for multiple target may cause the castor to grow dizzy. This does gets better as they learn to gauge their energy levels. Creation ramps up in size first (parts not a whole) then amount. Must create things via a pattern --- small things first before big things. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ Because of its unstable, esoteric properties, ectoplasm reacts to normal matter/energy in unusual and useful ways, including being able to ignore most of them. Ectoplasm itself is often valued as an ingredient in alchemical magic. Once the plasma can be generated on a regular basis, it's spiritual properties can be mixed with other herbs and substances to create more elaborate works of magic. Ectoplasms can transcend physical form at this level and come in "bundles of fine threads" in it's form. This is good for binding, stitching and soul-linking purposes. A chord is also important for 'Astral Projection'. (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Some mediums secrete or emit ectoplasm in order to facilitate communication with ghosts. Coating spiritual entities in ectoplasm helps them in interacting with the physical plane. At this level, ectoplasm now comes in a "living membrane" or a "fine, fabric-like tissue" form, which help to shield and enforce both physical and spiritual entities aswell as to create 'Ectokinetic Constructs'. (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Drawing from the light and dark properties of ectoplasm may take it's toll on the mental psyche, creating fluctuations in both the mood and the emotion of the castor, leaving them drained, confused and unstable. Without a great deal of mental fortitude, these powers cannot be used to maximum effect, a type of power that only grows with a great deal of time, age and practice, aswell as utilizing the construct of proper application.

Right let’s start. First i am Boo. Or Vrien. Either name is okay as it does not matter. I am your judge today. I will quote things in spoilers then out of the spoiler i will explain reasoning behind why it is broken, Op Or against the rules. You CAN discuss this on discord or PMs on gaia. However please do not spam this thread. Thank you.
█ Primary Talent ▬ Possesses Super-Human Strength - When combining the energy of her two auras, this provides a temporary boost of energy, speed and strength (though it can only be applied to herself for the time-being).
Right This section is for talents. Not a powers. A talent is something such as a natural aptitude or skill. Super human strength is neither a aptitude or a skill hun. Also this seems in addition to the semblance so would be a no. Also what is this two auras from?
The Other talents section, Actually. While this is arguably in the wrong section. I am fine with this other ‘talent’ as it adds flavor
█ Strongest Skill ▬ Is good at finding, analyzing and discerning patterns in other people's attitudes, personalities and behaviors. She can almost attune this into a special kind of foresight, often anticipating an opponent's intentions, reactions and moves before they're even aware of it. She is also generally amiable with her teammates overall, often sporting a decent level of agreeableness and obedience.
While the majority of this is okay. The anticipating opponents intentions reactions and MOVES can be viewed as metagaming and is against the rules. So this section is pending due to this. It also seems to conflict with the other aspects in the personality but that is by the by.
This is a note on the nature. And is not ment as a judgment. But the section itself seems biploar at parts. Also bipolar and dual personalities are very very different.
Note on the Negative traits in the personalty. Specificly
Even if it means risking her life for a fruitless cause. She is also lacking in interpersonal skills, often being unable to communicate her feelings openly.
This seems to directly conflict with a part earlier. Someone lacking in interpersonal skills would struggle to understand and read others correctly.
█ BACKGROUND ▬ Reikka Rubrum Cerulean was born an only child into a wealthy family in Vale. Her family was an influential one that was born and bred in the city. Being born into such prestige and expectation marked her destiny from the very beginning and, pretty soon, it was clear that she was fated to be one of the best. But there was one thing that stood in the way: the fact that nobody took her seriously due to her youthful dispositions. Along with her wealthy family, Rei was given a genetic mutation that made her much younger than the rest. She genuinely ages slower than everyone else does. But Rei, ever undaunted and determined, never let her oddities get in the way of her dreams. She worked her way to the top from a very young age, and had carried all the hopes and aspirations of her parents. Rei did her best to never let anyone down, even though she has a clear visual line of her limitations and weaknesses. A simple girl at heart, she was never one to turn down learning a new language or mastering a new way to fight. Whatever helped her live her life in larger way, she was always down for it. But, soon the wealth of her family dwindled into almost nothing, and she was left to make her way in the streets. Encouraged by her ailing parents, Reikka continues to make her way in the world, sometimes stumbling here and there with nobody else to catch her. Her only comfort was school, which she found was such a simple and progressive way to spend her time.
Since Rei ages slower, nobody would have guessed that she had any remarkable semblance powers of any sort. But Rei broke through everyone expectations by displaying her latent powers that revolve around the mysterious and little-known substance called 'ectoplasm', which is generated by her aura, when she was only ten. On her first battle, she made a choice: To stand and fight... or whither and die. Ever brave and bold, Rei chose the latter, making a name for herself and piquing everyone's interest with her unique semblance. Rei, who was told by her parents that the day she gives up is the day she stops getting better, takes her training quite seriously since the very moment she decided to expose her true nature. She has made it her personal crusade to improve her powers. She wasn't afraid of anything, until the day that she met her first Grimm. It was the worst memory she has to this date; people were running and screaming to leave the large mall complex when they reported that a Grimm had somehow manifested in the public area. So many people died that day, and none could have ever foresaw such a catastrophe. It was an especially powerful and vicious Grimm which wasn't afraid to corner her around a bunch of dead bodies. But soon a squad arrived to dispose of the evil entities, and there she stood, watching as the Grimm took down numerous members of the school before it was finally destroyed. Since then, she had sworn to go to that school and be the best fighter she can be.
She has constantly struggled to control herself during the majority of her life, causing her to believe she will never accomplish her goals or find any shred of peace. And yet she continues to fight for her position as a member of Vale's society. Ever since that day, she has suffered from PTSD and doesn't react well if something causes her to remember that particular day. But always confident of the outcomes of the future and keen to get over trauma of killing and defeating the Grimm, Reikka has put some faith in her destiny that she knows she must posses in order to survive in the a school which is filled to the brim in competition. Still, she knows the only way to succeed with such experiences is by being genuine and staying as herself even when all the while, finding it even harder to explain her 'medical condition' without them giving her strange looks. All her life she had to deal with people who just wouldn't understand, which this in turn has turned her into a sullen and stoic individual. Still, she keeps herself focused on what she needs to do, and living in the moment is what Rei knows best. For most of her life, Rei has made very few friends. But those she deems and considers her friends are immediately under her protection and she's willing to trust them and give her life for them. This is demonstrated when she remembers little details about a person,such as their semblance, where they're from or their aura color.
So Reading this. There are multiple powers hidden in here. From slower aging (that is not a negative no matter how often you try to state it is. Unless you mean mentally. But that is not stated Its stated as physical aging) to demonstrating the ability to not only metagame there semblance but aura colour. If they are seen as a arberrty ‘friend’
Right. Onto the weapon. This gets a bit jumpy so please bare with me as i will be quoting parts of the semblance. Thank you.
█ ▬ This staff was forged from the heart of a star. It's lighter than it looks. The special metal within is actually what helps it to consume ectoplasmic energy, although dust can also be used as an alternative fuel source. It is a complex weapon; perhaps, too complex for someone the likes of Rei.
If this weapon is too complect for rei to make who made it? How is it forged from the heart of a star. Also. Going of the description matched with.
Must use a weapon to initiate spells and incantations.
and the section of Dust being used as a alternate fuel means with a supply of dust you can use your semblence forever. This is a no.
The melee form is fine. Its a bladed weapon. I would however like a little more detail on what type of weapon but that is not needed. (But poor character if it ever swaps when they are holding the handle.. Poor poor sliced hands)
Ranged. Right. This form In its current state is just a flat no. Sorry. Your ectoplasm can be plasma. More on this later. The cane i am fine with. Its a travel mode. HOWEVER
Also, if activated, the staff becomes a strong magnet that attracts other metallic objects.
No. The reason this is a flat no is your weapon already does a lot without giving it the ability to randomly disarm people of there weapons. Not only is this form not needed but it makes no sense given the other capabilities of the device.
█ Ammo Type ▬ Her ammo comes from her aura, which come in the form of ectoplasmic energy. This energy can come in a variety of forms (solid, gaseous or liquidized) and it's uses are only limited by the user's level and imagination.
This part is contradicted by the description. Please update one or the other Also please as you are tieing it to the semblance add a max range for attacks. Along with how the attack forms. As just saying imagination. Okay i imagine i form your zero level misty vapor inside someone's skull. This also applys for later levels. So please add a stipulation to either the weapon ranged attack or The ammo type. Thank you.
Onto other weapons. Right the metallic fan is not allowed to block bullet based attacks. Sorry. Other than that. Can you please state what the flasks and vials are filled with. The magical book of alchemy and brewing Magic is not something a normal person would have. This is a maiden's power and sadly this character is not a maiden. And thus would have no magic. Alchemical or otherwise.
SEMBLANCE! We finally made it. This one i will break down into description and then levels.
█ *DESCRIPTION █ ▬ █ ▬ User can create, shape and manipulate extra-planar energy called ectoplasm, which comes from the roots 'ektos' meaning “outside” and 'plasma' meaning “something formed or molded”, as such it can be understood as a variable-state form of matter-energy coming from planes beyond the physical. Its form can range from "raw seething energy", a "misty vapor", a "viscous gelatin", a "bundle of fine threads", a "living membrane" or a "fine, fabric-like tissue", that can also be solidified and used for material purposes. With each level she gains access to new forms of ectoplasm, unable to use one without first mastering the other.
Ill get back to this at the end. Youll see why
█ *LEVEL 0 ▬ Only comes in faint traces of "misty vapor" (which can be turned into basic shapes for entertainment) that stem from the aura at this level. Only good for basic physical boosts (enhances speed, agility, strength, eyesight such as nigh vision and increase in mental awareness). Must use a weapon to initiate spells and incantations. (Level 0//0-99 posts)
Right the physical boost seems out of no where as the actual ability seems to be creating ‘misty’ Trails. For entertainment. However it has no max range. No cooldowns. Not even a cant target inside some one. That the boost applys you can target inside a brain especially for mental awareness. Although using a weapon to initiate spells and incantations. What spells and incantations there is no magic unless you are a maiden and as before, you are not a maiden yet. Possibly at a later date. Are these the levels? Are these the abilities you wish from the magical book in the inventory section? Or something else?
Its form can change to "seething energy" and "viscous gelatin" form. Good for vaporizing from single to multiple targets (without the use of a weapon) or making creams made from the spiritual ectoplasm that help heal and soothe wounds. The castor is also able to create temporary limbs. However, trying to go for multiple target may cause the castor to grow dizzy. This does gets better as they learn to gauge their energy levels. Creation ramps up in size first (parts not a whole) then amount. Must create things via a pattern --- small things first before big things. (100-199 posts)
No. Oh wait we need more than that. Noooo? Right Vaporizing a single or multiple targets is against the guild rule of “he 'One-Hit-Kill'- Never can you have a one-hit-kill move or ability.. Sorry wannabe assassins. You cannot kill someone in a single blow without it being some super charge up power, and those are usually nerfed pretty bad. Though one or two have been seen to pass” Also i do question how something that can vaporize something can be used to help heal and soothe wounds? Though the creation of temporary limbs is denied in this part. Also like level 0 this needs a max range. Post cooldown.
Level 2 Im not even going to post this one but. max range. Post cooldown. And no plasma as this medium can vary from 25 Celsius to 5.5 trillion degrees Celsius (5500000000000 C) please state. Also again what alchemical magic.? Right while i am fine with it becoming the bundle of threads in this form for stitching and binding. Soul linking not so much. As it can be used rather easily to kill and rip souls/aura out of people. Also while astral projection is a thing used in many scifi if you wish it as a power here. Please either have it as its own level in this semblance (As i believe it could work as one) and explain what you can do and if you can interact or even see the normal world during this. Or if you can only intract with peoples dreams (WITH OOC permision)
Level 3.
Some mediums secrete or emit ectoplasm in order to facilitate communication with ghosts. Coating spiritual entities in ectoplasm helps them in interacting with the physical plane. At this level, ectoplasm now comes in a "living membrane" or a "fine, fabric-like tissue" form, which help to shield and enforce both physical and spiritual entities aswell as to create 'Ectokinetic Constructs'.
So. Few things. Again post count cooldown sure you know that by now. But also. What and how do they intract with the physical plane? Can they launch attacks? Is there interactions limited to ghostly whispers? Can you pull them back into a body and using level 2 soul link them to a dead body and resurect them? If yes. Then please no. As this is a interaction that is currently possible with those two levels.
These constructs are? A machine gun is a construct? A nuke is a construct? What is its limits? Also how strong is this shield? How many impacts can it take? What about non physical attacks such as other semblances? Can it block them or do they ignore it?
Now your drawback. Is not a drawback I say this as its currently a rewording of the level system used by the guild. Till you have done X you cannot use Y. She also starts with a bracelet to help mitigate this I feel slightly dizzy weakness straight off the bat. Yet if you are running low on aura. You can use your weapon for your abilities with the current wordings.
In conclusion. This is both a pending and denied profile till it is amended.
Right this is more a amendum than anything. But As the show has not shown any ghosts. It has hinted at more the fact when people die they turn to and return to dust. So while this aspect is not a game breaker in this term. It will be put to a vote for if the last part will be allowed
Parts of the previous judgment has not been followed. Please do this.

❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Hello, my name is Youroka Kage, and I'll be judging your profile today!
❖I'm sorry, you can not be 24 and a student. We are no longer allowing that as an age. ❖That occupation doesn't work, as we are not allowing clubs. ❖ Talents are ingrain things, they are not things that you have learned. Therefore the Bonus Skill can stay, but your Primary talent must change. ❖ I'm sorry, after reviewing a conversation I am denying the ability of polarized auras. It seems that you don't know if it's one or two. I will not approve this profile while it remains in here. ❖ I'm sorry, your weakness isn't really a weakness. ❖ I still see that genetic mutation in your biography. People are allowed to look younger, you don't have to have a genetic mutation that makes you look and act younger. ❖ The description of the weapon is a power. The staff can't eat the ectoplasm, as it's not a living thing. ❖The weakness of the weapon isn't a weakness. ❖Why does she need the flasks of blood? ❖ We do not accept time limits for semblences. We Do post limits. I will say this, 15 is too much. ❖ This is more of an observation. Your Semblence reads as if it's suggestions of what she can do, instead of exacts of what she can do. You need the wording to be exactly what she can do.
I will remind you that I do not do judgments via discord or PM.
❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Hello, my name is Youroka Kage, and I'll be judging your profile today!
❖ You are only allowed one Primary Talent, currently you have 2. However, if you move one to Other talents, that would be fine. ❖ Ok, so looking at your strongest skill, I'm going to say this, I do not like it because to me, it means that you are saying you should be able to do more with your semblence than others. I will not deny your profile based on this, but I am stating that is how the wording feels to me. ❖
Quote:
Nature ▬ Tends to be moody and negative, an after-effect of her negative aura. Other than that, Rei is a gentle and kind soul, who loves to believe in the purpose of the 'greater good' rather than act selfishly towards people who don't deserve it. She is as deep as the ocean yet as aggressive as fire; most people wouldn't know what to make of her. She is a daydreamer but knows how to throw a quick down-to-Earth quip or two if the situation calls for it. She makes up for her small frame by being elaborate in her plans and ambitions, and she's easily the type to ride highs to a whole other new level. Even so, she knows when to shut up and listen or to apologize when it's called for, possessing a humble acknowledgment towards her limits and her personal imperfections. But deep inside, Rei has a dark outlook in life, often understanding that everything comes at a price and that many are made to live a life full of suffering. This has caused her to be wary of what she speaks, and even more wary of who she speaks to. And, even then, she constantly comes across as the shy, observant and quiet type to everyone. Still, she can be quite blunt with her overall opinions on people. Ever detail-oriented, the perfectionist Rei always finds something to improve and fix with her life and her surroundings. But if there's one thing she's good at, however, is that she has a good and strong sense of people, and can read almost everyone she's met with both conviction and with a ring of utter truth to it. She goes out of her way to never seem pushy or condescending and believes that kindness and fairness is an overall higher priority rather than being a successful or well-respected (or, worse, feared) individual.
As I stated before, You aren't allowed to have polarized aura. Your nature says that you do. This is an official warning. If we see any form of the two auras again in this profile, you will get a strike." ❖
Quote:
Though her values and principles (not to mention her mental age) limit her to the status of a regular human being,
This implies she is not a human being. ❖ You keep mentioning that you age slower in your biography. You aren't allowed to state that as you are making it seem like you will live longer because of it. You need to remove it. ❖All weapons are channels for Aura. No weapon that is passed down generation to generation would be tailored for just your semblence. Not to mention, you have two forms in your Melee form. Melee form is just for the base form, if it has another form (aka the blades), then it goes in other forms. ❖Your weapon weakness is still not a weakness as you express that it can still do things in it. ❖ How much is "a bunch of sheathed daggers"? ❖The name of the Semblence is what you call it. For example, my character Astra calls her extra dimensional storage space "Cheek pouches" ❖ So the description of your semblence is not supposed to be what the powerlisting says. This is where you describe what your power can do. Your ectoplasm would not be an ingredient for alchemy, as you are the only one that can make it, and it is made out of your own personal aura. ❖ Why is the ectoplasm able to give boosts to people?
I will remind you that I do not do judgments via discord or PM. I will do more work on the semblence when there are not so many other things to be fixed.

█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Reikka Rubrum Cerulean was born an only child into a wealthy family in Vale. Her family was an influential one that was born and bred in the city. Being born into such prestige and expectation marked her destiny from the very beginning and, pretty soon, it was clear that she was fated to be one of the best. But there was one thing that stood in the way: the fact that nobody took her seriously due to her youthful dispositions. Along with her wealthy family, Rei was born looking much younger than those who are of the same age as her. She really does seem to age a little slower than everyone else does both mentally and physically. But Rei, ever undaunted and determined, never let her oddities get in the way of her dreams. She had carried all the hopes and aspirations of her parents, and does her best to never let anyone down, even though she has a clear visual line of her limitations and weaknesses. A simple girl at heart, she was never one to turn down learning a new language or mastering a new way to fight. Whatever helped her live her life in larger way, she was always down for it. But, soon the wealth of her family dwindled into almost nothing, and she was left to make her way in the streets. Encouraged by her ailing parents, Reikka continues to make her way in the world, sometimes stumbling here and there with nobody else to catch her. This all changed when she began attending Beacon. Her only comfort was school, which she found was such a simple and progressive way to spend her time. She was happy to be with a crowd she felt like she belonged in.
Since Rei appears to age slower, nobody would have guessed that she had any remarkable semblance-related powers of any sort. But Rei broke through everyone expectations by displaying her latent powers that revolve around the mysterious substance called 'ectoplasm', which is generated by her aura, when she was only ten. On her first battle, she made a choice: To stand and fight... or wither and die. Ever brave and bold, Rei chose the latter, making a name for herself and piquing everyone's interest with her unique semblance. Rei, who was told by her parents that the day she gives up is the day she stops getting better, takes her training quite seriously since the very moment she decided to expose her true nature for all to see. She has made it her personal crusade to improve her powers. She wasn't afraid of anything... until the day that she met her first Grimm. It was the worst memory she has to this date; people were running and screaming to leave the large mall complex when they reported that a Grimm had somehow manifested in the public area. So many people died that day, and none could have ever foreseen such a catastrophe. It was an especially powerful and vicious Grimm which wasn't afraid to corner her around a bunch of dead bodies. But, soon, a squad arrived to dispose of the evil entity, and there she stood transfixed, watching as the Grimm took down numerous members of the alleged school before it was finally destroyed. Since then, she had sworn to go to Beacon and be the best huntress she can be. Without actually getting herself killed, of course.
Also, for most of her life, Rei has made very few friends. Most people would just judge her to be 'high-maintenance' and 'too upper class'. But those she deems and considers her friends are immediately under her protection and she's willing to trust them and give her life for her comrades. This is demonstrated when she remembers little personal details about a person: such as their semblance, where they're from or their aura color. She has always been willing to be in constructive relationships that benefit the majority rather than a single individual. Yet her life wasn't what it is without further strife. Reikka has constantly struggled to control herself during the majority of her life due to the unknown nature of her red aura, causing her to believe she will never accomplish her goals or find any shred of peace. And yet she continues to fight for her position as a member of Vale's society. Ever since that day, she has suffered from PTSD and doesn't react well if something causes her to remember that particular day. But always confident of the outcomes and keen to get over the trauma of the past, she has put some faith in her destiny that she knows she must possess in order to survive in a school that is filled to the brim in competition. Still, she knows the only way to overcome those experiences is by being herself, all the while finding it difficult to explain her condition without others giving her strange looks in return. For a long time, she had to deal with people who just wouldn't understand her, as well as handle the judging eyes of those who never quite understood how semblances worked. This, in turn, has turned her into a sullen and stoic individual. Still, she keeps herself focused on what she needs to do, and living in the moment is what Rei knows best. She knows this is the only way to stand.
It all began for her when she was twelve, as she was being taught the family business of providing and transporting much-needed goods to all corners of Vale. As she sat in the wooden cart filled with fruits, she was struck by this sudden creative impulse to play a trick on the delivery people as well as the people in the fruit shop. She began making imitations of the fruit, making a whole pile which they shifted and loaded into the shop like the rest of the cargo. Around 24-hours later, they were called by the fruit shop, where the owner had a fearful tone in his voice. He complained that the false fruit pile disappeared in front of his very eyes, and he wouldn't believe it until he weighed them all in and realized there was less fruit to clean. The young Rei heard her father take the call and retreated further in her studies by burying her face in a book, giggling at their spooked demeanor. Four years later, after her parents and everyone else discovered her abilities, they beseech her to speak to a professor in her school who knew about her talent for making ectoplasm. After their initial meeting, he invited her to his place, in which Rei quickly agreed to the meeting after realizing he wanted nothing more than to help her. When she knocked on his door, she was greeted with tea and cakes and a staff made of a kind of metal that could channel ectoplasm. He showed her how to use it, taking it apart and revealing the blades within. Rei was absolutely transfixed and asked him how it was made or how he had come about the weapon. He then said he had no idea how it was made, for it was given to him by Rei's family several generations ago to keep it safe and hidden. Rei took it, though still wary of the weapon since she had no idea what its origins were.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ [Deathstroke Quarter Staff] █ ▬ It's lighter than it looks. It is also an old weapon passed down from the family, rumored to have been created by an old technician student solely for them who also hunted Grimm at some point. It is approximately 5 meters long and 1 inch wide. █Melee Form ▬ The strange and special metal within is actually what helps it to exuberate and channel ectoplasmic energy so that it hits harder. Take it apart and it becomes a deadly bladed weapon. It contains small magnets at it's rings that help keep the weapon in one piece when not using it's blades. █Ranged Form ▬ None █Other Form(s) ▬ None █Ammo Type ▬ None █ ▬ It takes a while to learn new tricks on it as all of it's functions and configurations are not completely understood or expressed simultaneously. The metallic structure at it's core is tremendously resilient... yet, it takes a great deal of effort to clean and maintain it's optimal inner workings. It also lacks in ranged attacks, it's main purpose is to use it in melee-based fighting and nothing ranged-based.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Always carries a bunch of sheathed daggers with her wherever she goes. █ ▬ Carries small smoke bombs in plastic containers made from her own ectoplasm. █ ▬ A Tonfa (Okinawan: トンファー tonfā, Malay: topang, Chinese: 柺; pinyin: guǎi) - also known as tong fa', tonqua or tuifa, is a melee weapon best known for its role in the armed component of Okinawan martial arts. She uses this often for training. *Note: Read about 'Kobudo'. █ITEMS █ ▬ Brought flasks and vials filled with special ingredients (which are mostly herbs). █ ▬ Carries special books filled with ancient runes that are about alchemy and brewing. She cannot read them yet. █ ▬ A pocket-watch made of stainless steel hanging on a matching chain given to her by her grandmother.

█*NAME ▬ Dark and Light Ectoplasm Creation Also Called: • Ectokinesis • Ectoplasmic Control/Manipulation • Ectoplasmic Energy Manipulation • Spectral Energy Manipulation • Spiritual Matter Manipulation █*AURA COLOR ▬ Garnet Red █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ █ ▬ User can create, shape and manipulate extra-planar energy called ectoplasm, which comes from the roots 'ektos' meaning “outside” and 'plasma' meaning “something formed or molded”. As such, it can be understood as a variable-state form of matter-energy coming from her aura. Note: Ectoplasm is a very temporary substance, and almost anything she makes out of these will dissipate in twenty-four (24) hours unless specifically designed to last longer, such as stitching thread. Its form can range from "raw seething energy", a "misty vapor", a "viscous gelatin", a "bundle of fine threads", a "living membrane" or a "fine, fabric-like tissue", that can also be solidified and used for material purposes. With each level she gains access to new forms of ectoplasm, unable to use one without first mastering the other. The ectoplasm she creates can come in helpful forms or harmful forms. The 'plasma' solidly remains at body-temperature unless heated by some other means on purpose. So the material remains vastly warm, versatile and gel-like in substance, and is usually so so that it can be molded properly. She can store approximately 2 liters at level 0 and gains 2 liters per level. The denser an object is the more material it takes, but the lighter she makes the structure the less ectoplasm it will take. She also has to see her target clearly to cast, which means leaving her in the dark can deter her from casting properly. Range depends on her level. Also, certain forms of ectoplasm can remain solid or amorphous at will, which means it'll depend what's on her mind when she sets out to make it. It's either that or she has to maintain physical contact with the object to make it intangible or invisible or both, temporarily infusing it with ectoplasm to make it convertible. At first, she is only able to make things made of ectoplasm intangible or invisible, but her touch soon extends to any object within the physical realm.
Other Uses: ❖ Ectoplasm itself is often valued as an ingredient in alchemical magic. ❖ Some mediums secrete or emit ectoplasm in order to facilitate communication with ghosts. █*LEVEL 0 ▬ Only comes in faint traces of "misty vapor" (which is sometimes used to create basic shapes for entertainment) that stem from the aura at this level. Only good for basic physical boosts. Therefore, the range of casting is limited to a single meter, as there is no need to extend the field of range as of yet. She has to cast the symbols and shapes above herself for it to work, and it cannot be cast inside a physical object. When combining the energy of her aura, this provides a temporary boost of energy, speed, and strength (though it can only be applied to herself for the time being). These boosts last for 5 posts. One (1) post must be made in between single usages for each boost. This substance only comes in more solid and tangible forms and, therefore, cannot go through other objects as of yet. (Level 0//0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ Its type is now able to change to "seething energy" and "viscous gelatin" form. Good for chucking solidified and fiery chunks of ectoplasm (it won't be strong enough to vaporize, melt and go through the target, but it's powerful enough to push and blow them away and leave them scathed with minor burnt marks) from single to multiple targets --- without the use of a weapon --- to making creams made from the spiritual ectoplasm that help heal and soothe wounds; something for scratches and gashes that acts as an effective painkiller or anti-biotic. Its a short-term solution for both larger wounds and minor ones, though it doesn't stop the damage completely unless its treated properly. Such substances are usually just used for relief and protection. She came up with the stuff cause' Rei would get into fights sometimes and she needed something to help her scrapes and bruises. The gelatin can also be wrapped or enveloped onto physical surfaces, creating a sort of protective bandage layer made of ectoplasmic goo. The same goo consistency is also used to create a regular 'glue', which acts as a quick-dry, see-through glue solution. Because of its unstable, esoteric properties, ectoplasm reacts to normal matter/energy in unusual and useful ways, including being able to ignore most of them at this level. Heavy aura drain on the user is a reality. This does get better as they learn to gauge their energy levels. Post cooldown is two (2) posts in between each use. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ At this level, ectoplasm now comes in a "living membrane" or a "fine, fabric-like tissue" form, which is used to form shields of ectoplasmic energy (used to create a sort of ballistic 'shield') that can be used to block or rebound attacks from enemies and enforce both physical and spiritual objects, as well as to create 'Ectokinetic Constructs'. The constructs are limited to living things such as animals, humans, and plants... but are unable to become 'real' objects as they are mere constructs based on the castor's perceptions of how things are. In short, these structures and constructs are just all in her mind. There are two kinds of shields: The first kind of shield appears as a sphere of energy that protects from all sides. The other is a single wall of energy that is more direct in its range but is much stronger. Shields are good for protection against both physical and aura-based attacks, responding to most types of ammo and pent-up energy both equally and indefinitely. Post cooldown is three (3) posts per usage. (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Ectoplasm transcends physical form at this level and come in "bundles of fine threads" in it's form. This is good for binding, stitching, and soul-linking purposes. Soul connections can be made when a soul thread is used to bind a person via the ectoplasmic threads. They are made when a soul-based bond is formed via the threads and one's mind and body retain a spiritual connection that can transcend great physical distances. It is used to open a communication channel between two people i.e. they can see what the other person is seeing. It's mainly for reinforcing empathetic bonds with another person and detects physical pain over such distances. Side effects include increased sensitivity towards others and added skittishness for a certain length of time. Soul-links do not work on Grimm, as it is said that they have no soul. *Note: It can't affect people of a higher level than you and you must need OOC consent to work. A chord is also important for 'Astral Projection'. They can be braided at a very close range, but once the chord is done, you can project yourself almost anywhere at a certain distance. The thread can be cut, though it would be very hard to spot. If the thread is cut and the projector cannot fine his/her body in 12 hours, the projector will die. This just allows the user to 'ghost' around, but still unable to interact with the world. Its like viewing the world in a bubble; everything is hazy, grainy and sounds are muffled. Being able to ghost around means the projected soul can go through solid objects and hear things on the spiritual plane. Vision is the same as normal vision, only less colorful or vibrant, and will be unable to interact with the physical world. They also cannot attack in this form as they cannot pickup objects or touch physical surfaces. The body is also left vulnerable to attacks while the spirit is away from the body. Dust or anything dust-related sticks out more and is less hazy due to its soul-like properties. Also, the chord can only go 100 meters in radius. Post cooldown is four (4) posts in between usages. (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Drawing from the light and dark properties of ectoplasm may take it's toll on the mental psyche, creating fluctuations in both the mood and the emotion of the castor, leaving them drained, confused and unstable. Without a great deal of mental fortitude, these powers cannot be used to maximum effect, as it is a type of power that only grows with a great deal of time, age and practice, as well as utilizing the construct of proper application. If she heats ectoplasm too often it will distort her temperature, which will prevent her from making any more. Her body will start to shut-down and she can be susceptible to fainting. She can convert aura into ectoplasm for 3 posts, but she must store that energy for an extended amount of time. The older the ectoplasm is the easier it is to mold and handle. Boosts cannot be stacked but can be used only once around a certain duration. If measured in time, 15 minutes is how long the boosts usually last.

Though her values and principles (not to mention her mental age) limit her to the status of a regular human being,
This has not been changed, again, this makes it sound like she isn't a human. ❖ Again, every weapon is able to channel energy from the person wielding it. You state that it is an old weapon still, so I can't see if taking on those characteristics, unless it is put in the semblence, as a part of your ectoplasm. ❖ Your weakness is actually better, though every weapon, again channels aura (even ones without devices in them), so it would never get rid of the aura channeling abilities by just dropping it. ❖ Where in your semblence does it state you can make smoke bombs out of Ectoplasm, because that would be a level on it's own. ❖ You can remove all those other names as you have finally found a name for your semblence! Your ❖Description should explain what you can personally do with your abilities. for example:
Quote:
█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫ █ *NAME ▬ Lycanthropy █ *AURA COLOR ▬ Black █ *DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Ferocity allows Feralis to tap into his more animalistic nature, physical manifesting aspects of the wolf within him. This allows him to manifest claws, teeth, and additional physiological changes into a wolf man hybrid as well as taking on more mental aspects. The effects are cumulative except from level 2 to level 3, as the level 3 outright replaced the level 2.
This person's semblence is basically him turning into a werewolf, see how he explains it?
So I will judge the semblence once your description explains to me what you are trying to do. Thank you so much for making all those other changes!
❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Hello, my name is Youroka Kage, and I'll be judging your profile today!
❖ So, as far as we know lore wise, weapons have always been able to be coated in aura, as aura is how a person fights the monsters of Grimm, therefore the weapon description does not make sense. People have been fighting grim since the dawn of time according to this. ❖ Also...I'd like your weapon to have a name that you made, rather than where it is taken from. ❖ I don't see why your staff would have inner workings. For example, in the show, we watched a character take a normal dagger and killed a grimm, because it could be coated in his aura. Go until 10:26. ❖ Ok, so looking at your description of your power, I'm going to say that it does way too much. I am also going to say no to making permanent forms of ectoplasm. In fact, 24 hours is too long to keep such structures around. Remember what I said, your Ectoplasm comes from your aura, therefore, if your aura starts to run out, it would stand that the items start to fail as well. ❖ For your level 0, I am having a hard time understanding how manipulating ectoplasm leads to the ability to give boosts to stats. I also don't know what it boosts, it just says that it boosts.
So I will judge the semblence once your description explains to me what you are trying to do. Thank you so much for making all those other changes!

You can no longer make permanent things with your Ectoplasm ❖ So your level 0 has two abilities, however the second ability doesn't doesn't have a timer on it. I would need a timer for how long it lasts. ❖ For your level 1, you have 4 abilities. You needed to limit them to 2 or less. ❖ As I look through this semblance, I notice a lot of abilities in the levels. I count 13. That is too much. You will need to cut down further.
Thank you so much for making all those other changes!
❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Hello, my name is Youroka Kage, and I'll be judging your profile today!
❖ Ok, so for B, I need a post count for how long the luminous energy lasts. I also need to know how much energy it takes at this level, since you have provided an energy measurement. ❖ Does C have the same timer as A? If it does, please add the timer there, and how much Aura it takes. You should do this for E as well. ❖For D, I think you should reduce it to 4 posts. Depending on how it's roleplayed, 6 posts can be a long time. ❖ The Jump from level 1 to level 2 in the aura points(?) is too much. I think 8 would be a good jump, as it's twice as much, rather than 3 times as much. It then makes the jump to level 3 more understandable, as it would double again. ❖ Ok, Looking at G, there need to be more drawbacks. I have read a book though, that has a drawback that you could use. It the soul cord is severed, you are left in your astral form, unable to automatically pull yourself back to your body. It means that you would have the remainder of your time to get back to your body, or your body dies. That is a suggestion of course. If you go with that, you will need to list how fast you can fly. ❖ So your drawback isn't really a drawback, because you influence your mental fortitude. You will need to make a better drawback for this, one that if for story, can be exploited. I also have to say no to the 15 minute timer for the buffs that was put in your drawback.
Thank you so much for making all those other changes!

F) The gelatin can also be wrapped or enveloped onto physical surfaces, creating a sort of protective bandage layer made of ectoplasmic goo. The same goo consistency is also used to create a regular 'glue', which acts as a quick-dry, see-through glue solution, though it requires a few seconds to ‘set’. Movement or breathing on it upsets this and it stays in a liquidy goo form if not properly allowed to set. Lasts up to six (6) posts. She can only make a certain amount of this and is not used for anything else other than glue for casts. The ectoplasm disappears once it dries.
What is the amount that she can create, as that isn't stated. ❖ Also, the person helping me would like more details on what the thread looks like in level 3. Can you see it without aura, How can you cut it, ect.

❖ Ok, So I just noticed that she can use this every 4 posts. I'm sorry, that is a little overpowered, especially since you do not have a cost on your astral projection. ❖ So, Narx and I both agree that H is out of place. It has nothing to do with Astral projection (the level 3 ability.) Narx thinks it would go better in level 2. ❖

Other than that, Rei is a gentle and kind soul, who loves to believe in the purpose of the 'greater good' rather than act selfishly towards people who don't deserve it. Most people wouldn't know what to make of her. She is a daydreamer but knows how to throw a quick down-to-Earth quip or two if the situation calls for it. She makes up for her small frame by being elaborate in her plans and ambitions, and she's easily the type to ride highs to a whole other new level. Even so, she knows when to shut up and listen or to apologize when it's called for, possessing a humble acknowledgment towards her limits and her personal imperfections. But deep inside, Rei has a dark outlook in life, often understanding that everything comes at a price and that many are made to live a life full of suffering. This has caused her to be wary of what she speaks, and even more wary of who she speaks to. And, even then, she constantly comes across as the shy, observant and quiet type to everyone. Still, she can be quite blunt with her overall opinions on people. Ever detail-oriented, the perfectionist Rei always finds something to improve and fix with her life and her surroundings. But if there's one thing she's good at, however, is that she has a good and strong sense of people, and can read almost everyone she's met with both convictions and with a ring of utter truth to it. She goes out of her way to never seem pushy or condescending and believes that kindness and fairness is an overall higher priority rather than being a successful or well-respected (or, worse, feared) individual. █Vernacular ▬ Has a slight and subtle Asiatic accent, typical of someone of East Asian descent. She isn't the most vocal person ever; she has the voice of a child and often speaks in hushed tones and rhythms. █Positive Traits ▬ Has a strong sense of justice (however, she does not actually believe in a universal justice system), responsibility (she always takes credit for her actions aswell as the actions of others) and 'care ethics' (which is a normative ethical theory that holds that moral action centers on interpersonal relationships and care or benevolence as a virtue). Always acting with a strong moral compass, Rei knows the difference between justice and revenge. █Negative Traits ▬ She is always self-conscious in an attempt to control her moodiness and values self-love above all else. Rei often tries to make-up for the things she lacks by taking great risks and odd assignments in order to seek ways to drive herself on and improve herself. Even if it means risking her life for a fruitless cause; ever the risk-taker, Rei isn't afraid to push herself farther than most, but knows when to stick to the rules and her self-coded morals.
█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Reikka Rubrum Cerulean was born an only child into a wealthy family in Vale. Her family was an influential one that was born and bred in the city. Being born into such prestige and expectation marked her destiny from the very beginning and, pretty soon, it was clear that she was fated to be one of the best. But there was one thing that stood in the way: the fact that nobody took her seriously due to her youthful dispositions. Along with her wealthy family, Rei was born looking much younger than those who are of the same age as her. She was slow to take hints and was always expected to act accordingly. But Rei, ever undaunted and determined, never let her oddities nor the expectations of others get in the way of her dreams. She had carried all the hopes and aspirations of her parents and does her best to never let anyone down, even though she has a clear visual line of her limitations and weaknesses. A simple girl at heart, she was never one to turn down learning a new language or mastering a new way to fight. Whatever helped her live her life in a larger way, she was always down for it. But, soon the wealth of her family dwindled into almost nothing, and she was left to make her way in the streets. Encouraged by her ailing parents, Reikka continues to make her way in the world, sometimes stumbling here and there with nobody else to catch her. This all changed when she began attending Beacon. Her only comfort was school, which she found was such a simple and progressive way to spend her time. She was happy to be with a crowd she felt like she belonged in.
Since Rei was a little slow on the physical uptake when it concerns such aspects and had no interest in being a socialite, nobody would have guessed that she had any remarkable semblance-related powers of any sort. But Rei broke through everyone expectations by displaying her latent powers that revolve around the mysterious substance called 'ectoplasm', which is generated by her aura, when she was only ten. On her first battle, she made a choice: To stand and fight... or wither and die. Ever brave and bold, Rei chose the latter, making a name for herself and piquing everyone's interest with her unique semblance. Rei, who was told by her parents that the day she gives up is the day she stops getting better, takes her training quite seriously since the very moment she decided to expose her true talent and nature for all to see. She has made it her personal crusade to improve her powers. She wasn't afraid of anything... until the day that she met her first Grimm. It was the worst memory she has to this date; people were running and screaming to leave the large mall complex when they reported that a Grimm had somehow manifested in the public area. So many people died that day, and none could have ever foreseen such a catastrophe. It was an especially powerful and vicious Grimm which wasn't afraid to corner her around a bunch of dead bodies. But, soon, a squad arrived to dispose of the evil entity, and there she stood transfixed, watching as the Grimm took down numerous members of the alleged school before it was finally destroyed. Since then, she had sworn to go to Beacon and be the best huntress she can be. Without actually getting herself killed, of course.
Also, for most of her life, Rei has made very few friends. Most people would just judge her to be a 'high-maintenance' and 'too upper class' kind of gal. But those she deems and considers her friends are immediately under her protection and she's willing to trust them and give her life for her comrades. This is demonstrated when she remembers little personal details about a person: such as their semblance, where they're from or their aura color. She has always been willing to be in constructive relationships that benefit the majority rather than a single individual. Yet her life wasn't what it is without further strife. Reikka has constantly struggled to control herself during the majority of her life due to the furtive nature of her red aura, causing her to believe she will never accomplish her goals or find any shred of peace. And yet she continues to fight for her position as a member of Vale's society. Ever since that day, she has suffered from PTSD and doesn't react well if something causes her to remember that particular day. But always confident of the outcomes and keen to get over the trauma of the past, she has put some faith in her destiny that she knows she must possess in order to survive in a school that is filled to the brim in competition. Still, she knows the only way to overcome those experiences is by being herself, all the while finding it difficult to explain her condition without others giving her strange looks in return. For a long time, she had to deal with people who just wouldn't understand her, as well as handle the judging eyes of those who never quite understood how semblances worked. This, in turn, has turned her into a sullen and stoic individual. Still, she keeps herself focused on what she needs to do, and living in the moment is what Rei knows best. She knows this is the only way to stand.
It all began for her when she was twelve, as she was being taught the family business of providing and transporting much-needed goods and supplies to all corners of Vale. As she sat in the wooden cart filled with fruits, she was struck by this sudden creative impulse to play a trick on the delivery people as well as the people in the fruit shop. She began making the fruit glow, making a whole pile which they shifted and loaded into the shop like the rest of the cargo. Around 24-hours later, they were called by the fruit shop, where the owner had a fearful tone in his voice. He complained that the fruit glowed in front of his very eyes, and he wouldn't believe it until he touched the pile with his bare hands. The young Rei heard her father take the call and retreated further in her studies by burying her face in a book, giggling at their spooked demeanor. Four years later, after her parents and everyone else discovered her abilities, they beseech her to speak to a professor in her school who knew about her talent for making ectoplasm. After their initial meeting, he invited her to his place, in which Rei quickly agreed to the meeting after realizing he wanted nothing more than to help her. When she knocked on his door, she was greeted with tea and cakes and a staff made of a kind of metal that could channel ectoplasm. He showed her how to use it, taking it apart and revealing the blades within. Rei was absolutely transfixed and asked him how it was made or how he had come about the weapon. He then said he had no idea how it was made, for it was given to him by Rei's family several generations ago to keep it safe and hidden. Rei took it, though still wary of the weapon since she had no idea what its origins were.

It is approximately 5 meters long and 1 inch wide. █ Melee Form ▬ The strange and the ductile combination of metals within is actually what helps it to take hits. It's made of various metals: Iron, steel and a dash of platinum. █ Ranged Form ▬ None █ Other Forms (s) ▬ Take it apart and it becomes a deadly bladed weapon. It contains small magnets at its rings that help keep the weapon in one piece when not using its blades. █ Ammo Type ▬ None █ ▬ It takes a while to learn new tricks on it as it is rather cumbersome to handle if one does not know how to fight well with it. The metallic structure at its core is tremendously resilient... yet, it takes a great deal of effort to clean and maintain its blades. Its parts are old and faded. It also lacks in ranged attacks, since its main purpose is being used in melee-based fighting and, therefore, possesses nothing ranged-based. It is an overtly simple weapon that is very straight-forward in its function and operates with a permissible fighting-style. It's lighter than it looks, and must not be dropped from great heights (dropping it from a 4-story-high building could seriously damage it). A serious jolt could alter and damage it from sticking back together as well as temporarily deter its aura-channeling capabilities due to the fact it was one of the test weapons for easier handling of aura. This is due to the weapon actually interfering with the aura in an ‘effort’ to help it in order to function. So being knocked knocks those out of alignment and it fights the user's aura when it tries to coat the weapon.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Always carries a bunch of sheathed daggers with her wherever she goes. She has 5 in total. █ ▬ A Tonfa (Okinawan: トンファー tonfā, Malay: topang, Chinese: 柺; pinyin: guǎi) - also known as tong fa', tonqua or tuifa, is a melee weapon best known for its role in the armed component of Okinawan martial arts. She uses this often for training. *Note: Read about 'Kobudo'. █ITEMS █ ▬ Brought flasks and vials filled with special ingredients (which are mostly herbs). █ ▬ Carries special books filled with ancient runes that are about medicine and brewing. She cannot read them yet. █ ▬ A pocket-watch made of stainless steel hanging on a matching chain given to her by her grandmother.

█*NAME ▬ Excess Ecto-Bleed █*AURA COLOR ▬ Garnet Red █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ █ ▬ Allows Reikka to create, shape and manipulate extra-planar energy called ectoplasm (which comes from the roots 'ektos' meaning “outside” and 'plasma' meaning “something formed or molded”) by going into a trance-like state when extracting ectoplasm from the her personal self, in a way 'bleeding' it out by allowing it to emit and flow out of the castor in order for it to be sculpted and molded into different forms whilst her eye color changes to red to signify her semblance is active. She can generate and create things using ectoplasm. This includes being able to heat it, mold it and store it within herself, able to fashion various synthetic entities almost exactly like the original.
What Can Be Made: Its form can range from a "misty vapor", "viscous gelatin", a "bundle of fine threads" or a "fine, fabric-like tissue", that can also be solidified and used for material purposes. With each level, she gains access to new forms of ectoplasm, unable to use one without first mastering the other. The ectoplasm she creates can come in helpful forms or harmful forms, though these are of course tied to levels.
█*LEVEL 0 ▬ A) Only comes in faint traces of "misty vapor", which can be used for entertainment. This substance only comes in more solid and tangible forms and, therefore, cannot go through other objects as of yet. Her max aura at this level is: 5 The combat applications of this vapor are limited as its only good for basic physical boosts, that can only be applied to her. The range of casting is limited to a single meter. She must cast symbols and shapes above herself for the boost to work, and it cannot be cast inside a physical object. The boosts work by infusing her aura into a form of ‘consumable’ energy that is similar to sugar, which is absorbed through the body and burned like fuel. When using this on herself it provides a temporary 30% boost of endurance, speed, and strength. These boosts last for five (5) posts. One post must be made in between activations for each boost. Uses two (2) aura units per use. B) Sometimes she can create a luminous form of ectoplasm which makes her glow. When extracted it can be used to create constructs that can glow with a non-toxic, glow-stick effect. She generates this randomly and often cannot control the strength or faintness of its luminosity. But she guesses that the healthier she is, the brighter and clearer it glows. Luminosity lasts for three to four (3-4) posts. Once again this depends on her health. It takes one to two (1-2) units of aura energy to make this kind of ectoplasm. (Level 0//0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ She is now able to create "viscous gelatin" forms. Her max aura at this level is: 8 C) She may now boost herself and two other persons. This takes two (2) units of energy which lasts for four (4) posts. D) She can also make a cream-like substance from the spiritual ectoplasm that helps heal and soothe wounds; something for scratches and gashes that acts as an effective painkiller or antibiotic as it burns the bacteria and quarters the wound. It’s a short-term solution for both larger and minor wounds, though much like field dressings its only good for a short period healing which lasts for four (4) posts. A simple wound uses 2 units of aura, while a large wound uses 6 units of aura. This, however, can cause issues with proper healing semblances as it gets ‘in the way’ and it cannot stop internal wounds. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ At this level, ectoplasm now comes in a "fine, fabric-like tissue" form, which is used to form protective layers that can be used to make temporary casts and binders. Her max aura at this level is: 12 E) She may now boost herself and three other people. This takes four (4) units of energy which lasts for five (6) posts. F) The gelatin can also be wrapped or enveloped onto physical surfaces, creating a sort of protective bandage layer made of ectoplasmic goo. The same goo consistency is also used to create a regular 'glue', which acts as a quick-dry, see-through glue solution, though it requires a few seconds to ‘set’. Movement or breathing on it upsets this and it stays in a liquidy goo form if not properly allowed to set. Lasts up to six (6) posts. She can only make a certain amount of this and is not used for anything else other than glue for casts. She can make up to 2 liters of this stuff (without straining her ectoplasm reserve) per battle. The ectoplasm disappears once it dries. (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Ectoplasm transcends physical form at this level and comes in "bundles of fine threads form. This is good for binding, stitching, and fixing purposes. She can create a dozen (12) of these threads at the same time. Her max aura at this level is: 16 G) Can also be used for 'Astral Projection'. You can project yourself almost anywhere. The thread can be cut, though it would be very hard to spot. The thread is a trail of whispy lights which can only be seen at a certain spectrum or with a darker background. It is basically an inverse version of the regular visual of the ectoplasm. If the thread is cut the projector is left floating in the void for a while before the body dies. Can project for 12 posts. Also, the chord can only go 100 meters in radius. This just allows the user to 'ghost' around, but still unable to interact with the world. It's like viewing the world in a bubble; everything is hazy, grainy and sounds are muffled. Being able to ghost around means the projected soul can go through solid objects. Vision is the same as normal vision, only less colorful and vibrant. The body is also left vulnerable to attacks while the spirit is away from the body. Dust sticks out more and is less hazy due to its soul-like properties. Post cooldown is fifteen (15) posts in between usages. (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ Drawing from the light and dark properties of ectoplasm may take a toll on the mental psyche, creating fluctuations in both the mood and the emotion of the castor, leaving them drained, confused and unstable. Without a great deal of mental fortitude, these powers cannot be used to maximum effect, as it is a type of power that only grows with a great deal of time, age and practice, as well as utilizing the construct of proper application. Boosts cannot be stacked but can be used only once around a certain duration. If the soul cord is severed, she is left in astral form, unable to automatically pull herself back to her body. It means that she would have the remainder of her time to get back to her own body, or ner body dies in seven (7) posts. The boosts act as a temporary sugar rush. They'll feel drained once the boost effects disappear. They won't feel anything immediately; just really buzzed during the whole time until the boost is done. Then their body will realize how much energy is expended. They also wouldn't be able to sleep while they're boosted since the mind will be in a state of hyperactivity. How long the draining effect lasts varies from individual to individual, but usually lasts no more than five to six (5-6) posts.

Other than that, Rei is a gentle and kind soul, who loves to believe in the purpose of the 'greater good' rather than act selfishly towards people who don't deserve it. Most people wouldn't know what to make of her. She is a daydreamer but knows how to throw a quick down-to-Earth quip or two if the situation calls for it. She makes up for her small frame by being elaborate in her plans and ambitions, and she's easily the type to ride highs to a whole other new level. Even so, she knows when to shut up and listen or to apologize when it's called for, possessing a humble acknowledgment towards her limits and her personal imperfections. But deep inside, Rei has a dark outlook in life, often understanding that everything comes at a price and that many are made to live a life full of suffering. This has caused her to be wary of what she speaks, and even more wary of who she speaks to. And, even then, she constantly comes across as the shy, observant and quiet type to everyone. Still, she can be quite blunt with her overall opinions on people. Ever detail-oriented, the perfectionist Rei always finds something to improve and fix with her life and her surroundings. But if there's one thing she's good at, however, is that she has a good and strong sense of people, and can read almost everyone she's met with both convictions and with a ring of utter truth to it. She goes out of her way to never seem pushy or condescending and believes that kindness and fairness is an overall higher priority rather than being a successful or well-respected (or, worse, feared) individual. █Vernacular ▬ Has a slight and subtle Asiatic accent, typical of someone of East Asian descent. She isn't the most vocal person ever; she has the voice of a child and often speaks in hushed tones and rhythms. █Positive Traits ▬ Has a strong sense of justice (however, she does not actually believe in a universal justice system), responsibility (she always takes credit for her actions aswell as the actions of others) and 'care ethics' (which is a normative ethical theory that holds that moral action centers on interpersonal relationships and care or benevolence as a virtue). Always acting with a strong moral compass, Rei knows the difference between justice and revenge. █Negative Traits ▬ She is always self-conscious in an attempt to control her moodiness and values self-love above all else. Rei often tries to make-up for the things she lacks by taking great risks and odd assignments in order to seek ways to drive herself on and improve herself. Even if it means risking her life for a fruitless cause; ever the risk-taker, Rei isn't afraid to push herself farther than most, but knows when to stick to the rules and her self-coded morals.
█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Reikka Rubrum Cerulean was born an only child into a wealthy family in Vale. Her family was an influential one that was born and bred in the city. Being born into such prestige and expectation marked her destiny from the very beginning and, pretty soon, it was clear that she was fated to be one of the best. But there was one thing that stood in the way: the fact that nobody took her seriously due to her youthful dispositions. Along with her wealthy family, Rei was born looking much younger than those who are of the same age as her. She was slow to take hints and was always expected to act accordingly. But Rei, ever undaunted and determined, never let her oddities nor the expectations of others get in the way of her dreams. She had carried all the hopes and aspirations of her parents and does her best to never let anyone down, even though she has a clear visual line of her limitations and weaknesses. A simple girl at heart, she was never one to turn down learning a new language or mastering a new way to fight. Whatever helped her live her life in a larger way, she was always down for it. But, soon the wealth of her family dwindled into almost nothing, and she was left to make her way in the streets. Encouraged by her ailing parents, Reikka continues to make her way in the world, sometimes stumbling here and there with nobody else to catch her. This all changed when she began attending Beacon. Her only comfort was school, which she found was such a simple and progressive way to spend her time. She was happy to be with a crowd she felt like she belonged in.
Since Rei was a little slow on the physical uptake when it concerns such aspects and had no interest in being a socialite, nobody would have guessed that she had any remarkable semblance-related powers of any sort. But Rei broke through everyone expectations by displaying her latent powers that revolve around the mysterious substance called 'ectoplasm', which is generated by her aura, when she was only ten. On her first battle, she made a choice: To stand and fight... or wither and die. Ever brave and bold, Rei chose the latter, making a name for herself and piquing everyone's interest with her unique semblance. Rei, who was told by her parents that the day she gives up is the day she stops getting better, takes her training quite seriously since the very moment she decided to expose her true talent and nature for all to see. She has made it her personal crusade to improve her powers. She wasn't afraid of anything... until the day that she met her first Grimm. It was the worst memory she has to this date; people were running and screaming to leave the large mall complex when they reported that a Grimm had somehow manifested in the public area. So many people died that day, and none could have ever foreseen such a catastrophe. It was an especially powerful and vicious Grimm which wasn't afraid to corner her around a bunch of dead bodies. But, soon, a squad arrived to dispose of the evil entity, and there she stood transfixed, watching as the Grimm took down numerous members of the alleged school before it was finally destroyed. Since then, she had sworn to go to Beacon and be the best huntress she can be. Without actually getting herself killed, of course.
Also, for most of her life, Rei has made very few friends. Most people would just judge her to be a 'high-maintenance' and 'too upper class' kind of gal. But those she deems and considers her friends are immediately under her protection and she's willing to trust them and give her life for her comrades. This is demonstrated when she remembers little personal details about a person: such as their semblance, where they're from or their aura color. She has always been willing to be in constructive relationships that benefit the majority rather than a single individual. Yet her life wasn't what it is without further strife. Reikka has constantly struggled to control herself during the majority of her life due to the furtive nature of her red aura, causing her to believe she will never accomplish her goals or find any shred of peace. And yet she continues to fight for her position as a member of Vale's society. Ever since that day, she has suffered from PTSD and doesn't react well if something causes her to remember that particular day. But always confident of the outcomes and keen to get over the trauma of the past, she has put some faith in her destiny that she knows she must possess in order to survive in a school that is filled to the brim in competition. Still, she knows the only way to overcome those experiences is by being herself, all the while finding it difficult to explain her condition without others giving her strange looks in return. For a long time, she had to deal with people who just wouldn't understand her, as well as handle the judging eyes of those who never quite understood how semblances worked. This, in turn, has turned her into a sullen and stoic individual. Still, she keeps herself focused on what she needs to do, and living in the moment is what Rei knows best. She knows this is the only way to stand.
It all began for her when she was twelve, as she was being taught the family business of providing and transporting much-needed goods and supplies to all corners of Vale. As she sat in the wooden cart filled with fruits, she was struck by this sudden creative impulse to play a trick on the delivery people as well as the people in the fruit shop. She began making the fruit glow, making a whole pile which they shifted and loaded into the shop like the rest of the cargo. Around 24-hours later, they were called by the fruit shop, where the owner had a fearful tone in his voice. He complained that the fruit glowed in front of his very eyes, and he wouldn't believe it until he touched the pile with his bare hands. The young Rei heard her father take the call and retreated further in her studies by burying her face in a book, giggling at their spooked demeanor. Four years later, after her parents and everyone else discovered her abilities, they beseech her to speak to a professor in her school who knew about her talent for making ectoplasm. After their initial meeting, he invited her to his place, in which Rei quickly agreed to the meeting after realizing he wanted nothing more than to help her. When she knocked on his door, she was greeted with tea and cakes and a staff made of a kind of metal that could channel ectoplasm. He showed her how to use it, taking it apart and revealing the blades within. Rei was absolutely transfixed and asked him how it was made or how he had come about the weapon. He then said he had no idea how it was made, for it was given to him by Rei's family several generations ago to keep it safe and hidden. Rei took it, though still wary of the weapon since she had no idea what its origins were.

█*NAME ▬ Excess Ecto-Bleed █*AURA COLOR ▬ Garnet Red █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ █ ▬ Also known as 'Ectokinesis'. Her semblance allows Reikka to create, shape and manipulate extra-planar energy called ectoplasm (which comes from the roots 'ektos' meaning “outside” and 'plasma' meaning “something formed or molded”) by going into a trance-like state when extracting ectoplasm from her personal self, in a way 'bleeding' it out by allowing it to emit and flow out of the castor in order for it to be sculpted and molded into different forms whilst her eye color changes to red to signify her semblance is active. She can generate and create things using ectoplasm. This includes being able to heat it, mold it and store it within herself, able to fashion various synthetic entities almost exactly like the original. The 'plasma' solidly remains at a cold temperature (as ectoplasmic energy is considered chilly), so the material remains vastly cool, versatile and gel-like to slime-like in substance, and is usually so so that it can be molded properly.
What Can Be Made: Its form can range from a "misty vapor", "viscous gelatin", a "bundle of fine threads" or a "fine, fabric-like tissue", that can also be solidified and used for material purposes. With each level, she gains access to new forms of ectoplasm, unable to use one without first mastering the other.

The body is also left vulnerable to attacks while the spirit is away from the body. Dust sticks out more and is less hazy due to its soul-like properties. Post cooldown is fifteen (15) posts in between usages. H) The threads dig into the object or structure, allowing her to infuse the outer and inner parts with ectoplasm temporarily, converting it and making it intangible or invisible or both. It leaves the influenced unharmed, intact and whole. She has to maintain physical contact with the object to keep it in that state. The hardness of the surface does not deter the threads from embedding into the surface. However, the radius is often set, at ten (10) feet maximum. Takes seven (7) units of aura per one (1) post of invisibility/intangibility.

She makes up for her small frame by being elaborate in her plans and ambitions, and she's easily the type to ride highs to a whole other new level. Even so, she knows when to shut up and listen or to apologize when it's called for, possessing a humble acknowledgment towards her limits and her personal imperfections. But deep inside, Rei has a dark outlook in life, often understanding that everything comes at a price and that many are made to live a life full of suffering.

Still, she can be quite blunt with her overall opinions on people.Ever detail-oriented, the perfectionist Rei always finds something to improve and fix with her life and her surroundings. But if there's one thing she's good at, however, is that she has a good and strong sense of people, and can read almost everyone she's met with both convictions and with a ring of utter truth to it. She goes out of her way to never seem pushy or condescending and believes that kindness and fairness is an overall higher priority rather than being a successful or well-respected (or, worse, feared) individual. █Vernacular ▬ Has a slight and subtle Asiatic accent, typical of someone of East Asian descent. She isn't the most vocal person ever; she has the voice of a child and often speaks in hushed tones and rhythms. █Positive Traits ▬ Has a strong sense of justice (however, she does not actually believe in a universal justice system), responsibility (she always takes credit for her actions aswell as the actions of others) and 'care ethics' (which is a normative ethical theory that holds that moral action centers on interpersonal relationships and care or benevolence as a virtue). Always acting with a strong moral compass, Rei knows the difference between justice and revenge. █Negative Traits ▬ She is always self-conscious in an attempt to control her moodiness and values self-love above all else. Rei often tries to make-up for the things she lacks by taking great risks and odd assignments in order to seek ways to drive herself on and improve herself.

█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫
█BACKGROUND ▬ Reikka Rubrum Cerulean was born an only child into a wealthy family in Vale. Her family was an influential one that was born and bred in the city. Being born into such prestige and expectation marked her destiny from the very beginning and, pretty soon, it was clear that she was fated to be one of the best. But there was one thing that stood in the way: the fact that nobody took her seriously due to her youthful dispositions. Along with her wealthy family, Rei was born looking much younger than those who are of the same age as her. She was slow to take hints and was always expected to act accordingly. But Rei, ever undaunted and determined, never let her oddities nor the expectations of others get in the way of her dreams. She had carried all the hopes and aspirations of her parents and does her best to never let anyone down, even though she has a clear visual line of her limitations and weaknesses. A simple girl at heart, she was never one to turn down learning a new language or mastering a new way to fight. Whatever helped her live her life in a larger way, she was always down for it. But, soon the wealth of her family dwindled into almost nothing, and she was left to make her way in the streets. Encouraged by her ailing parents, Reikka continues to make her way in the world, sometimes stumbling here and there with nobody else to catch her. This all changed when she began attending Beacon. Her only comfort was school, which she found was such a simple and progressive way to spend her time. She was happy to be with a crowd she felt like she belonged in.
Since Rei was a little slow on the physical uptake when it concerns such aspects and had no interest in being a socialite, nobody would have guessed that she had any remarkable semblance-related powers of any sort. But Rei broke through everyone expectations by displaying her latent powers that revolve around the mysterious substance called 'ectoplasm', which is generated by her aura, when she was only ten. On her first battle, she made a choice: To stand and fight... or wither and die. Ever brave and bold, Rei chose the latter, making a name for herself and piquing everyone's interest with her unique semblance. Rei, who was told by her parents that the day she gives up is the day she stops getting better, takes her training quite seriously since the very moment she decided to expose her true talent and nature for all to see. She has made it her personal crusade to improve her powers. She wasn't afraid of anything... until the day that she met her first Grimm. It was the worst memory she has to this date; people were running and screaming to leave the large mall complex when they reported that a Grimm had somehow manifested in the public area. So many people died that day, and none could have ever foreseen such a catastrophe. It was an especially powerful and vicious Grimm which wasn't afraid to corner her around a bunch of dead bodies. But, soon, a squad arrived to dispose of the evil entity, and there she stood transfixed, watching as the Grimm took down numerous members of the alleged school before it was finally destroyed. Since then, she had sworn to go to Beacon and be the best huntress she can be. Without actually getting herself killed, of course.
Also, for most of her life, Rei has made very few friends. Most people would just judge her to be a 'high-maintenance' and 'too upper class' kind of gal. But those she deems and considers her friends are immediately under her protection and she's willing to trust them and give her life for her comrades. This is demonstrated when she remembers little personal details about a person: such as their semblance, where they're from or their aura color. She has always been willing to be in constructive relationships that benefit the majority rather than a single individual. Yet her life wasn't what it is without further strife. Reikka has constantly struggled to control herself during the majority of her life due to the furtive nature of her red aura, causing her to believe she will never accomplish her goals or find any shred of peace. And yet she continues to fight for her position as a member of Vale's society. Ever since that day, she has suffered from PTSD and doesn't react well if something causes her to remember that particular day. But always confident of the outcomes and keen to get over the trauma of the past, she has put some faith in her destiny that she knows she must possess in order to survive in a school that is filled to the brim in competition. Still, she knows the only way to overcome those experiences is by being herself, all the while finding it difficult to explain her condition without others giving her strange looks in return. For a long time, she had to deal with people who just wouldn't understand her, as well as handle the judging eyes of those who never quite understood how semblances worked. This, in turn, has turned her into a sullen and stoic individual. Still, she keeps herself focused on what she needs to do, and living in the moment is what Rei knows best. She knows this is the only way to stand.
It all began for her when she was twelve, as she was being taught the family business of providing and transporting much-needed goods and supplies to all corners of Vale. As she sat in the wooden cart filled with fruits, she was struck by this sudden creative impulse to play a trick on the delivery people as well as the people in the fruit shop. She began making the fruit glow, making a whole pile which they shifted and loaded into the shop like the rest of the cargo. Around 24-hours later, they were called by the fruit shop, where the owner had a fearful tone in his voice. He complained that the fruit glowed in front of his very eyes, and he wouldn't believe it until he touched the pile with his bare hands. The young Rei heard her father take the call and retreated further in her studies by burying her face in a book, giggling at their spooked demeanor. Four years later, after her parents and everyone else discovered her abilities, they beseech her to speak to a professor in her school who knew about her talent for making ectoplasm. After their initial meeting, he invited her to his place, in which Rei quickly agreed to the meeting after realizing he wanted nothing more than to help her. When she knocked on his door, she was greeted with tea and cakes and a staff made of a kind of metal that could channel ectoplasm. He showed her how to use it, taking it apart and revealing the blades within. Rei was absolutely transfixed and asked him how it was made or how he had come about the weapon. He then said he had no idea how it was made, for it was given to him by Rei's family several generations ago to keep it safe and hidden. Rei took it, though still wary of the weapon since she had no idea what its origins were.
█ █ ╫ I N V E N T O R Y ╫
█ PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ [Lunition Staff] █ ▬ It is an old weapon rumored to have been created by a technician student who was known to make beta weapons for hunters as a hobby. It is approximately 5 meters long and 1 inch wide. █ Melee Form ▬ The strange and the ductile combination of metals within is actually what helps it to take hits. It's made of various metals: Iron, steel and a dash of platinum. █ Ranged Form ▬ None █ Other Forms (s) ▬ Take it apart and it becomes a deadly bladed weapon. It contains small magnets at its rings that help keep the weapon in one piece when not using its blades. █ Ammo Type ▬ None █ ▬ It takes a while to learn new tricks on it as it is rather cumbersome to handle if one does not know how to fight well with it. The metallic structure at its core is tremendously resilient... yet, it takes a great deal of effort to clean and maintain its blades. Its parts are old and faded. It also lacks in ranged attacks, since its main purpose is being used in melee-based fighting and, therefore, possesses nothing ranged-based. It is an overtly simple weapon that is very straight-forward in its function and operates with a permissible fighting-style. It's lighter than it looks, and must not be dropped from great heights (dropping it from a 4-story-high building could seriously damage it). A serious jolt could alter and damage it from sticking back together as well as temporarily deter its aura-channeling capabilities due to the fact it was one of the test weapons for easier handling of aura. This is due to the weapon actually interfering with the aura in an ‘effort’ to help it in order to function. So being knocked knocks those out of alignment and it fights the user's aura when it tries to coat the weapon.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Always carries a bunch of sheathed daggers with her wherever she goes. She has 5 in total. █ ▬ A Tonfa (Okinawan: トンファー tonfā, Malay: topang, Chinese: 柺; pinyin: guǎi) - also known as tong fa', tonqua or tuifa, is a melee weapon best known for its role in the armed component of Okinawan martial arts. She uses this often for training. *Note: Read about 'Kobudo'. █ITEMS █ ▬ Brought flasks and vials filled with special ingredients (which are mostly herbs). █ ▬ Carries special books filled with ancient runes that are about medicine and brewing. She cannot read them yet. █ ▬ A pocket-watch made of stainless steel hanging on a matching chain given to her by her grandmother.
█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Excess Ecto-Bleed █*AURA COLOR ▬ Garnet Red █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ █ ▬ Also known as 'Ectokinesis'. Her semblance allows Reikka to create, shape and manipulate extra-planar energy called ectoplasm (which comes from the roots 'ektos' meaning “outside” and 'plasma' meaning “something formed or molded”) by going into a trance-like state when extracting ectoplasm from her personal self, in a way 'bleeding' it out by allowing it to emit and flow out of the castor in order for it to be sculpted and molded into different forms whilst her eye color changes to red to signify her semblance is active. She can generate and create things using ectoplasm. This includes being able to heat it, mold it and store it within herself, able to fashion various synthetic entities almost exactly like the original. The 'plasma' solidly remains at a cold temperature (as ectoplasmic energy is considered chilly), so the material remains vastly cool, versatile and gel-like to slime-like in substance, and is usually so so that it can be molded properly.
What Can Be Made: Its form can range from a "misty vapor", "viscous gelatin", a "bundle of fine threads" or a "fine, fabric-like tissue", that can also be solidified and used for material purposes. With each level, she gains access to new forms of ectoplasm, unable to use one without first mastering the other. The ectoplasm she creates can come in helpful forms or harmful forms, though these are of course tied to levels.
█*LEVEL 0 ▬ Only comes in faint traces of "misty vapor", which can be used for entertainment. This substance only comes in more smoky, solid and tangible forms and, therefore, cannot go through other objects as of yet. Her max aura at this level is: 6 A) The combat applications of this vapor are limited as its only good for basic physical boosts, that can only be applied to her. The range of casting is limited to a single meter. She must cast symbols and shapes above herself for the boost to work, and it cannot be cast inside a physical object. The boosts work by infusing her aura into a form of ‘consumable’ energy that is similar to sugar, which is absorbed through the body and burned like fuel. When using this on herself it provides a temporary 30% boost of movement speed, stamina, strength, dexterity, and intelligence. These boosts last for five (5) posts. One post must be made in between activations for each boost. Uses two (2) aura units per use. B) Sometimes she can create a luminous form of ectoplasm which makes her glow. When extracted it can be used to create constructs that can glow with a non-toxic, glow-stick effect. She generates this randomly and often cannot control the strength or faintness of its luminosity. But she guesses that the healthier she is, the brighter and clearer it glows. Luminosity lasts for three to four (3-4) posts. Once again this depends on her health. It takes one to two (1-2) units of aura energy to make this kind of ectoplasm. (Level 0//0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ She is now able to create "viscous gelatin" forms. At this level, because of its unstable, esoteric properties, ectoplasm reacts to normal matter/energy in unusual and useful ways, including being able to ignore most of them. Her max aura at this level is: 9 C) She may now boost herself and two other persons. This takes two (2) units of energy which lasts for four (4) posts. D) She can also make a cream-like substance from the spiritual ectoplasm that helps heal and soothe wounds; something for scratches and gashes that acts as an effective painkiller or antibiotic as it burns the bacteria and quarters the wound. It’s a short-term solution for both larger and minor wounds, though much like field dressings its only good for a short period healing which lasts for four (4) posts. A simple wound uses 2 units of aura, while a large wound uses 6 units of aura. This, however, can cause issues with proper healing semblances as it gets ‘in the way’ and it cannot stop internal wounds. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ At this level, ectoplasm now comes in a "fine, fabric-like tissue" form, which is used to form protective layers that can be used to make temporary casts and binders. Her max aura at this level is: 14 E) She may now boost herself and three other people. This takes four (4) units of energy which lasts for six (6) posts. F) The gelatin can also be wrapped or enveloped onto physical surfaces, creating a sort of protective bandage layer made of ectoplasmic goo. The same goo consistency is also used to create a regular 'glue', which acts as a quick-dry, see-through glue solution, though it requires a few seconds to ‘set’. Movement or breathing on it upsets this and it stays in a liquidy goo form if not properly allowed to set. Lasts up to six (6) posts. She can only make a certain amount of this and is not used for anything else other than glue for casts. She can make up to 2 liters of this stuff (without straining her ectoplasm reserve) per battle. The ectoplasm disappears once it dries. Costs three to four (3-4) units of aura to make a glued cast, depending on how extensive the damage is. (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Ectoplasm comes in "bundles of fine threads" form. This is good for binding, stitching, and fixing purposes. She can create a dozen (12) of these threads at the same time. Her max aura at this level is: 18 G) Can also be used for 'Astral Projection'. You can project yourself almost anywhere. The thread can be cut, though it would be very hard to spot. The thread is a trail of wispy lights which can only be seen at a certain spectrum or with a darker background. It is basically an inverse version of the regular visual of the ectoplasm. If the thread is cut the projector is left floating in the void for a while before the body dies. Can project for twelve (12) posts. Also, the chord can only go 100 meters in radius. This just allows the user to 'ghost' around, but still unable to interact with the world. It's like viewing the world in a bubble; everything is hazy, grainy and sounds are muffled. Being able to ghost around means the projected soul can go through solid objects. Vision is the same as normal vision, only less colorful and vibrant. The body is also left vulnerable to attacks while the spirit is away from the body. Dust sticks out more and is less hazy due to its soul-like properties. Post cooldown is fifteen (15) posts in between usages. H) The threads dig into the object or structure, allowing her to infuse the outer and inner parts with ectoplasm temporarily, converting it and making it intangible or invisible or both. It leaves the influenced unharmed, intact and whole. She has to maintain physical contact with the object to keep it in that state. The hardness of the surface does not deter the threads from embedding into the surface. However, the radius is often set, at ten (10) feet maximum. Takes seven (7) units of aura per one (1) post of invisibility/intangibility. (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ ○ Drawing from the light and dark properties of ectoplasm may take a toll on the mental psyche, creating fluctuations in both the mood and the emotion of the castor, leaving them drained, confused and unstable. Without a great deal of mental fortitude, these powers cannot be used to maximum effect, as it is a type of power that only grows with a great deal of time, age and practice, as well as utilizing the construct of proper application. ○ The same boosts cannot be stacked but can be used only once around a certain duration. ○ If the soul cord is severed, she is left in astral form, unable to automatically pull herself back to her body. It means that she would have the remainder of her time to get back to her own body, or her body dies in seven (7) posts. ○ The boosts act as a temporary sugar rush. They'll feel drained once the boost effects disappear. They won't feel anything immediately; just really buzzed during the whole time until the boost is done. Then their body will realize how much energy they have expended. They also wouldn't be able to sleep while they're boosted since the mind will be in a state of hyperactivity. How long the draining effect lasts varies from individual to individual, but usually lasts no more than five to six (5-6) posts. ○ The longer she maintains physical contact, the harder it is to keep the threads in place. She also cannot influence 'Dust' with this ability.

Whether that bodes good or ill for you is something we will see in our time together. While I usually have a knack for flair, i'll keep this much simple. I'll list any questions or concerns I have below on what needs to be done before we can get you approved, but i'll be free to contact on less... visible areas.
Judgement:
Archetype:
1. Chemical creativity: what can she make with this? She doesn't really have much to support the knowledge for this kind of thing. 2. In your nature, you claim Reikka is very insightful but she does not have a talent to express this. Please remove that part, as you need a skill/ talent for it.
Background:
3. "To stand and fight... or wither and die. Ever brave and bold, Rei chose the latter," I think you meant former here, cause with latter this means Reikka would've chose to wither and die. 4. Add fear of powerful Grimm to your fears (its in your background she has PTSD to them cause of an encounter).
Inventory:
5. Primary weapon: What kind of bladed weapon does it become? What is the blade length? 6. Blade length of her 5 daggers she has in her other weapons section.
Semblance:
- So just to clarify, she does not recharge her aura when she spends it (so this is a limited use per day kind of semblance)?
∰-Conclusion
This is all I currently see the need to change/ be clarified for now. This does not mean it shall be the end of it, as more questions may arise as we progress and I may have missed something. I am willing to be flexible on some thing if given good reason to, and i'll be open for any discussion you have or if you need any help with this. Thank you for your taking the time to go through this, and I will post another judgement if necessary once we've gone through all this. Hopefully this will be the only judgement needed, and you can fully begin your adventure in beacon...whether pleasant or otherwise. Feel free to contact me at any point... just send a message with the crows. ✘ Status: Inquiring ▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄

Reikka has constantly struggled to control herself during the majority of her life due to the furtive nature of her red aura, causing her to believe she will never accomplish her goals or find any shred of peace. And yet she continues to fight for her position as a member of Vale's society. Ever since that day, she has suffered from PTSD and doesn't react well if something causes her to remember that particular day. But always confident of the outcomes and keen to get over the trauma of the past, she has put some faith in her destiny that she knows she must possess in order to survive in a school that is filled to the brim in competition. Still, she knows the only way to overcome those experiences is by being herself, all the while finding it difficult to explain her condition without others giving her strange looks in return. For a long time, she had to deal with people who just wouldn't understand her, as well as handle the judging eyes of those who never quite understood how semblances worked. This, in turn, has turned her into a sullen and stoic individual. Still, she keeps herself focused on what she needs to do, and living in the moment is what Rei knows best. She knows this is the only way to stand.
It all began for her when she was twelve, as she was being taught the family business of providing and transporting much-needed goods and supplies to all corners of Vale. As she sat in the wooden cart filled with fruits, she was struck by this sudden creative impulse to play a trick on the delivery people as well as the people in the fruit shop. She began making the fruit glow, making a whole pile which they shifted and loaded into the shop like the rest of the cargo. Around 24-hours later, they were called by the fruit shop, where the owner had a fearful tone in his voice. He complained that the fruit glowed in front of his very eyes, and he wouldn't believe it until he touched the pile with his bare hands. The young Rei heard her father take the call and retreated further in her studies by burying her face in a book, giggling at their spooked demeanor. Four years later, after her parents and everyone else discovered her abilities, they beseech her to speak to a professor in her school who knew about her talent for making ectoplasm. After their initial meeting, he invited her to his place, in which Rei quickly agreed to the meeting after realizing he wanted nothing more than to help her. When she knocked on his door, she was greeted with tea and cakes and a staff made of a kind of metal that could channel ectoplasm. He showed her how to use it, taking it apart and revealing the blades within. Rei was absolutely transfixed and asked him how it was made or how he had come about the weapon. He then said he had no idea how it was made, for it was given to him by Rei's family several generations ago to keep it safe and hidden. Rei took it, though still wary of the weapon since she had no idea what its origins were.

█ PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ [Lunition Staff] █ ▬ It is an old weapon rumored to have been created by a technician student who was known to make beta weapons for hunters as a hobby. It is approximately 5 feet long and 1 inch wide. █ Melee Form ▬ The strange and the ductile combination of metals within is actually what helps it to take hits. It's made of various metals: Iron, steel and a dash of platinum. █ Ranged Form ▬ None █ Other Forms (s) ▬ Take it apart and it becomes a deadly bladed weapon. It contains small magnets at its rings that help keep the weapon in one piece when not using its blades. The blades are about half as long as the staff, which makes the blades 3 feet long. █ Ammo Type ▬ None █ ▬ It takes a while to learn new tricks on it as it is rather cumbersome to handle if one does not know how to fight well with it. The metallic structure at its core is tremendously resilient... yet, it takes a great deal of effort to clean and maintain its blades. Its parts are old and faded. It also lacks in ranged attacks, since its main purpose is being used in melee-based fighting and, therefore, possesses nothing ranged-based. It is an overtly simple weapon that is very straight-forward in its function and operates with a permissible fighting-style. It's lighter than it looks, and must not be dropped from great heights (dropping it from a 4-story-high building could seriously damage it). A serious jolt could alter and damage it from sticking back together as well as temporarily deter its aura-channeling capabilities due to the fact it was one of the test weapons for easier handling of aura. This is due to the weapon actually interfering with the aura in an ‘effort’ to help it in order to function. So being carelessly dropped keeps it out of alignment and when being used in combat, the weapon fights the user's aura when the aura tries to coat the weapon.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Always carries a bunch of sheathed daggers with her wherever she goes. She has 5 in total and they are approximately tailor-made for her size, being 5 and a half inches long. █ ▬ A Tonfa (Okinawan: トンファー tonfā, Malay: topang, Chinese: 柺; pinyin: guǎi) - also known as tong fa', tonqua or tuifa, is a melee weapon best known for its role in the armed component of Okinawan martial arts. She uses this often for training. *Note: Read about 'Kobudo'. █ITEMS █ ▬ Brought flasks and vials filled with special ingredients (which are mostly herbs). █ ▬ Carries special books filled with ancient runes that are about medicine and brewing. She cannot read them yet. █ ▬ A pocket-watch made of stainless steel hanging on a matching chain given to her by her grandmother.

█*NAME ▬ Excess Ecto-Bleed █*AURA COLOR ▬ Garnet Red █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ █ ▬ Also known as 'Ectokinesis'. Her semblance allows Reikka to create, shape and manipulate extra-planar energy called ectoplasm (which comes from the roots 'ektos' meaning “outside” and 'plasma' meaning “something formed or molded”) by going into a trance-like state when extracting ectoplasm from her personal self, in a way 'bleeding' it out by allowing it to emit and flow out of the castor in order for it to be sculpted and molded into different forms whilst her eye color changes to red to signify her semblance is active. She can generate and create things using ectoplasm. This includes being able to heat it, mold it and store it within herself, able to fashion various synthetic entities almost exactly like the original. The 'plasma' solidly remains at a cold temperature (as ectoplasmic energy is considered chilly), so the material remains vastly cool, versatile and gel-like to slime-like in substance, and is usually so so that it can be molded properly.
What Can Be Made: Its form can range from a "misty vapor", "viscous gelatin", a "bundle of fine threads" or a "fine, fabric-like tissue", that can also be solidified and used for material purposes. With each level, she gains access to new forms of ectoplasm, unable to use one without first mastering the other. The ectoplasm she creates can come in helpful forms or harmful forms, though these are of course tied to levels.
█*LEVEL 0 ▬ Only comes in faint traces of "misty vapor", which can be used for entertainment. This substance only comes in more smoky, solid and tangible forms and, therefore, cannot go through other objects as of yet. Her max aura at this level is: 6 A) The combat applications of this vapor are limited as its only good for basic physical boosts, that can only be applied to her. The range of casting is limited to a single meter. She must cast symbols and shapes above herself for the boost to work, and it cannot be cast inside a physical object. The boosts work by infusing her aura into a form of ‘consumable’ energy that is similar to sugar, which is absorbed through the body and burned like fuel. When using this on herself it provides a temporary 30% boost of movement speed, stamina, strength, dexterity, and intelligence. These boosts last for five (5) posts. One post must be made in between activations for each boost. Uses two (2) aura units per use. B) Sometimes she can create a luminous form of ectoplasm which makes her glow. When extracted it can be used to create constructs that can glow with a non-toxic, glow-stick effect. She generates this randomly and often cannot control the strength or faintness of its luminosity. But she guesses that the healthier she is, the brighter and clearer it glows. Luminosity lasts for three to four (3-4) posts. Once again this depends on her health. It takes one to two (1-2) units of aura energy to make this kind of ectoplasm. (Level 0//0-99 posts) █*LEVEL 1▬ She is now able to create "viscous gelatin" forms. At this level, because of its unstable, esoteric properties, ectoplasm reacts to normal matter/energy in unusual and useful ways, including being able to ignore most of them. Her max aura at this level is: 9 C) She may now boost herself and two other persons. This takes two (2) units of energy which lasts for four (4) posts. D) She can also make a cream-like substance from the spiritual ectoplasm that helps heal and soothe wounds; something for scratches and gashes that acts as an effective painkiller or antibiotic as it burns the bacteria and quarters the wound. It’s a short-term solution for both larger and minor wounds, though much like field dressings its only good for a short period healing which lasts for four (4) posts. A simple wound uses 2 units of aura, while a large wound uses 6 units of aura. This, however, can cause issues with proper healing semblances as it gets ‘in the way’ and it cannot stop internal wounds. (100-199 posts) █*LEVEL 2▬ At this level, ectoplasm now comes in a "fine, fabric-like tissue" form, which is used to form protective layers that can be used to make temporary casts and binders. Her max aura at this level is: 14 E) She may now boost herself and three other people. This takes four (4) units of energy which lasts for six (6) posts. F) The gelatin can also be wrapped or enveloped onto physical surfaces, creating a sort of protective bandage layer made of ectoplasmic goo. The same goo consistency is also used to create a regular 'glue', which acts as a quick-dry, see-through glue solution, though it requires a few seconds to ‘set’. Movement or breathing on it upsets this and it stays in a liquidy goo form if not properly allowed to set. Lasts up to six (6) posts. She can only make a certain amount of this and is not used for anything else other than glue for casts. She can make up to 2 liters of this stuff (without straining her ectoplasm reserve) per battle. The ectoplasm disappears once it dries. Costs three to four (3-4) units of aura to make a glued cast, depending on how extensive the damage is. (200-299 posts) █*LEVEL 3 ▬ Ectoplasm comes in "bundles of fine threads" form. This is good for binding, stitching, and fixing purposes. She can create a dozen (12) of these threads at the same time. Her max aura at this level is: 18 G) Can also be used for 'Astral Projection'. You can project yourself almost anywhere. The thread can be cut, though it would be very hard to spot. The thread is a trail of wispy lights which can only be seen at a certain spectrum or with a darker background. It is basically an inverse version of the regular visual of the ectoplasm. If the thread is cut the projector is left floating in the void for a while before the body dies. Can project for twelve (12) posts. Also, the chord can only go 100 meters in radius. This just allows the user to 'ghost' around, but still unable to interact with the world. It's like viewing the world in a bubble; everything is hazy, grainy and sounds are muffled. Being able to ghost around means the projected soul can go through solid objects. Vision is the same as normal vision, only less colorful and vibrant. The body is also left vulnerable to attacks while the spirit is away from the body. Dust sticks out more and is less hazy due to its soul-like properties. Post cooldown is fifteen (15) posts in between usages. H) The threads dig into the object or structure, allowing her to infuse the outer and inner parts with ectoplasm temporarily, converting it and making it intangible or invisible or both. It leaves the influenced unharmed, intact and whole. She has to maintain physical contact with the object to keep it in that state. The hardness of the surface does not deter the threads from embedding into the surface. However, the radius is often set, at ten (10) feet maximum. Takes seven (7) units of aura per one (1) post of invisibility/intangibility. (300-399 posts) █*DRAWBACKS ▬ ○ Drawing from the light and dark properties of ectoplasm may take a toll on the mental psyche, creating fluctuations in both the mood and the emotion of the castor, leaving them drained, confused and unstable. Without a great deal of mental fortitude, these powers cannot be used to maximum effect, as it is a type of power that only grows with a great deal of time, age and practice, as well as utilizing the construct of proper application. ○ The same boosts cannot be stacked but can be used only once around a certain duration. ○ If the soul cord is severed, she is left in astral form, unable to automatically pull herself back to her body. It means that she would have the remainder of her time to get back to her own body, or her body dies in seven (7) posts. ○ The boosts act as a temporary sugar rush. They'll feel drained once the boost effects disappear. They won't feel anything immediately; just really buzzed during the whole time until the boost is done. Then their body will realize how much energy they have expended. They also wouldn't be able to sleep while they're boosted since the mind will be in a state of hyperactivity. How long the draining effect lasts varies from individual to individual, but usually lasts no more than five to six (5-6) posts. ○ The longer she maintains physical contact, the harder it is to keep the threads in place. She also cannot influence 'Dust' with this ability.
