█ PERSONALITY TRAITS
█ Nature ▬ Cúlain is an incredibly positive person with a strong drive to bring out the best in others. This stands in stark contrast to her significantly negative early years. She has an almost superhuman ability to find a silver lining in almost anything
By her own admission, what stands at the core of her values is Cúlain's steadfast belief in the power and value of people and the experiences that shape them. To her, every person deserves a chance at a good life and one of the few things that enrage her are those that actively abuse the lives, labor, and kindness of others for personal gain or amusement, because of this Cúlain is one of the first to stand up for the rights of the people. This has led her to speak out against many employers, systems and criminals that actively oppress citizens.
Coupled with her training, this outlook on life makes Cúlain a ferocious fighter, more than willing to lay waste to whatever poses a threat to her, her team, or the well-being of the people.

█ Vernacular ▬ Cúlain 's vernacular reflects her intelligence and nature. She's filled to the brim with typical jargon and lingo one would expect from someone in her age group and has mountains of sass but posses a gentle and softer way of speaking to people when they need it, as well as a more forceful and bolstering tone for when she needs to rally people.
█ Positive Traits ▬ Cúlain is naturally charismatic and seems to have near bottomless amounts of positivity and confidence in herself and others
█ Negative Traits ▬ Her confidence and attitude tends to get her in trouble with authority figures

█ █ ╫ H I S T O R Y ╫

█ BACKGROUND ▬ What little is known about Cúlain is quite telling regarding her character. She grew up in a family of former Atlas upper class who encouraged her to act ladylike and to enjoy things that came with a refined taste. She eventually lost this family at the age of seven and for over a year lived by her wits and will on the streets before being taken in by an odd relative that claimed to be her uncle.

█ █ ╫ I N V E N T O R Y ╫

█ PRIMARY WEAPON
█ ▬ Wild Hunt
█ ▬ A set of weapons used alone or in conjunction
█ Melee Form ▬ Cúlain carries 2 melee weapons:
Queen Lascivious- 5ft spear that breaks into 3 pieces (2 halves of the staff & for easy portability and to change to a more rapid striking style. When connected it is more than capable of holding her weight and still has a bit of spring when enough force is exerted on it.
Chastiefol: A b*****d sword of superb quality and a dark complexion. It stands at 44.5 inches total with the blade taking up 35in, and the rest is dedicated to the handle and guard, with the guard standing at roughly 5.5 inches across
█ Ranged Form ▬ Cú carries a revolving shotgun, scaled-down in the barrel and fitted with a pistol grip. The cylinder fires 12 ga. shells and, like other revolvers, operates with a single action hammer
█ Other Form(s) ▬ The spear breaks down into 2 fighting sticks (+1 dagger if the spearhead is removed as well), these connect firmly at the middle to form the full-sized weapon
█ Ammo Type ▬ Cúlain carries several kinds of shells for her firearm, typically she holds 15 standard buckshot, 10 slugs, 5 fire dust shells, and 5 ice dust shells

█ ▬ While the shotgun doesn't have a lot of kick, thanks to the weight of the barrel, the weapon is limited to hold only 5 rounds in the cylinder and must be reloaded manually. Additionally, the single action nature of the firearm gives it a relatively slow one handed rate of fire

█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫

█ *NAME ▬ Strike Down the Moon
█ *AURA COLOR ▬ Sky Blue
█ *DESCRIPTION Chulainn converts portions of her aura into large amounts of pure electrical energy (estimated 1 megawatt per 1/10th of aura) which she can then discharge or manipulate to a limited extent while it maintains its natural real properties. In essence it's rather simple but the complexity is more in how Chulainn chooses to use the electrical energy's properties, whether firing it from her hands, or letting someone grapple her and sending the current through their body.

█ ▬
█ *LEVEL 0 ▬ 4 bolts before cooldown (5 posts or 1 per bolt used ),
Unlock "Magnum Bolt": Ranged electrical energy attack in the form of a lightning bolt. Very nearly instantaneous but the electrical energy arcing around her hands is a fairly clear warning. On average these can cause minor electrical burns, metal objects on a person to heat up near instantaneously, and cause muscles at the area of impact to seize and lock up for roughly a second. Conductive material can increase the intensity of the shock, though this is best exemplified through fluids (namely sweat) which rapidly heat as electricity passes around it, turning to steam nearly instantly. Though not necessarily debilitating, this does cause some noticeable but minor steam burns. .( Each of these uses 1/5th of Chulainn's converted aura portion.)

Unlock "Numb"- Through physical contact, Chulainn passes electrical energy into another person's body. This results in the muscle group affected going completely numb, rendering them completely non-functional until such time that they wear off (Uses 1/5th of converted aura portion)
Lv.0- Effects last 1 post in entirety

█ *LEVEL 1▬ 6 before cooldown (5 posts or 1 per bolt)
Numb- Effects last 2 posts but diminish in the 2nd
█ *LEVEL 2▬ 10 before cooldown (8 posts or 1 per bolt),
Numb- Effects are doubled in intensity last 3 posts with full effect throughout
Unlock Gigawatt Cutter- High-intensity electrical field around and between Cúlain 's fingers that turn her hand and forearm into an organic plasma cutter capable of slicing through organic tissue and cauterizing it simultaneously.
Due to the intense amount of pain this technique causes, it can only be maintained for 30 seconds and used for a single motion for a single limb
(5 post cooldown for any semblance based abilities to be used again)

█ *LEVEL 3 ▬ 20 before cooldown (10 posts or 1 per bolt),

Unlock "World Tree": Converts half of Chulainn's aura into electrical energy and discharge it. The result is an enormous twisting column of electrical energy that splits and arcs toward the top in a way that resembles the branches and roots of a tree. The center of the "tree" is considered 'ground zero' (roughly 2 meters across) and due to the intensity of electrical energy most living things tend to have their aura blasted away and suffer intense electrical burns. Beyond this area are the branches from which bolts of lightning strike down, turning the entire area beyond the 5 meters into a dangerous zone to be trapped in while lightning strikes all around, scorching the earth. (Roll 6 sided die for dodge or damage)

█ *DRAWBACKS ▬ Unlike some others, Cú is not entirely immune to the nature of her own semblance. Because of this, depending on how she uses it, she can be stricken with mild to severe localized burns (these should heal over time with her aura), or a significant amount of trembling if she uses a full body shock.

"~ With regards to your natural abilities, having good control of aura is totally fine – but it wouldn’t be as good at level 0 as it is at level 3, please can you add this so we know that she will also develop this skill as she gets stronger? Characters begin relatively weak, it’s all about the fun development! "

Regarding this, I can explain a little more in detail before I add it in. This is meant to reflect the way her semblance is laid out, specifically how she manages how much of her aura gets used per action. This is why she is able to convert only 1/10 of her aura into electrical energy at a time starting out, hence why she is unable to use her abilities that require more energy at her higher tiers.
In simpler terms, it's more about aura management rather than control, how much she uses at a time since she isn't directly firing entire portions of her aura at enemies, but instead fractions of the initial converted fraction.

"Please remove the ‘hardlight’ blades – its impossible for these to work in vale, we do not have the technology. There would be no way that your family would have access to enable these.

- Overall this weapon would be difficult to approve, you are using photons attached to it to create other projected weapons – this would be a semblance as is seen in RWBY, not okay just for a weapon. This is too powerful, and needs to either be her semblance or made less powerful. "

The way the weapon works is not at all part of her semblance, nor was it seen as part of the semblance in the canon. I assume you're talking about Velvet here and it is confirmed that the hardlight weapons she uses are not part of her aura, but her weapon which, after taking a photo of a weapon, can create a solid replica of that weapon from a projector. Again, I feel I must clarify that this is not, I repeat not a semblance as you appear to have claimed, and I will provide evidence from the source material as reference
https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Velvet's_Weapon

We also see this same technology in the most recent season which I will not spoil in case you haven't seen that scene yet, but it is confirmed this is canon technology capable of being used on a massive scale, as well as able to be crafted by a single individual with the resources of a student, perhaps a well connected student, but a student nonetheless.
Chulainn's weapon does not in fact create entire weapons, but only 2 variants of blade to transform her weapon from a spear to more of a polearm, in this case a scythe or halberd. It should also be noted these are, much like in the show, not lightsabers and cannot cut through everything, these simply function like the genuine article they represent and act as solid blades capable of cutting if used to do so, but not to press against a blast door and melt through it.

"With regards to her semblance powering the weapon with the charge, that’s fine and fun! However, this means that there would need to be a cooldown on it because a semblance can’t be activated continually"

Here I agree I was vague, but the way Chulainn uses the projector on her spear is through creating a circuit with direct skin contact. This is not a constant output of energy, but the same energy flowing between her and the weapon. I am willing to add that she cannot use this function and use additional electrical abilities at the same time however.

"This semblance is too powerful, there are too many ‘semblances’ within this one. For example, you have the ability to perform feats such as extra speed and strength – this is a semblance on its own. "

This is not increasing her speed and strength, but forcing her muscles to contract in such a way that does increase impact and split second motion. She is not hitting or moving in a way that is beyond her body's physical abilities, but rather at the feasible absolute limit. As a result of moving in a way that the body's natural limiters say you shouldn't, her muscles begin to wear down much more quickly as a trade off.
This is in fact something electricity makes muscles do, that is contract if used a specific way. Not an entirely new semblance, but the use of electrical energy to manipulate one's own body at the cost of severe pain and slowed movement.

"When the weapon is useless due to her semblance, what does she do
with it? I’ve read about the other two weapons out to use? It seems picky, but it’s just so we know what happens because it seems that the main weapon solely relies on her semblance."

Again, my bad,but this refers to the additional function of the weapon as the projectors

”IT’S ME – LU!”

Here to judge your profile today is ME! Lucky you!



Archetype
‘Other Talents’ – Please remove the ‘Oprah’ comparison in this part, you can be naturally/developmentally charismatic but it doesn’t necessarily come in ‘levels’ so there is no need for this. If you genuinely want your character to be at THAT par, it would need to become a primary talent.
‘Weakest skill’ – Chu has a natural ‘resistance’ to her semblance, therefore saying her weakest skill is also that it hurts her isn’t suitable, please make it something that someone would potentially be able to take advantage of.
‘Other skills’ – Athleticism is fine, however bear in mind that her ‘speed, strength and flexibility’ would only be average and nowhere near on par with anyone who has these as a skill. If you want one of these to be a strength, please change skills and talents to suit!
‘Negative Traits’ – As already requested, in this part please include negative traits for Chu (no character is completely perfect) and state which part of the personality each is.

History
‘Background’ – After discussion and it coming to light that you have plans for the villain part of this character, please extend this only slightly to let us know how often Setana comes out and the control that Chu has over this part of her (this just allows for development and for us to witness the changes)
After the war and cities being cut off from each other, Chu would not have control over the air waves. However, I have discussed with crew and we believe it is acceptable to allow her to have her show within the school etc and reserve the power to shut it down if we feel that it is coming away from the story arc. She would be hunted by authorities if it went any further, however I think it’s a cool idea so as long as it is kept slightly contained this is fine!

Inventory
‘Other forms’ – I see you have changed the size of the spear from 8ft – 6ft, however I am asking again for you to change the Baton. A Baton for sure can be 5ft however it would almost be made up of hollow tubes that would fold into itself, this in turn would make the spear pretty weak (and a Baton is already a weapon in itself) I want your spear to be powerful, and therefore just ask you simply change it to something else as I already have stated.
‘Chu’ – This type of weapon would absolutely give you kickback (unless strength was your primary talent – even then it would be strong). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurus_Judge - I feel like this is the type of gun you are going for, if you could just change the measurements to make a little bit more sense (doesn’t have to be completely realistic as this is pretend) however just having a pistol that shoots like a shotgun is powerful in itself – a 12” barrel would not fit 12” gauge ammunition. Also having a 12” inch gun with a gas shield doesn’t make much sense to me? It wouldn’t protect much? Have a shotgun of a normal size if you want all that?

Semblance
As already stated in my last request, please remove the abilities from the description. – I will continue to judge the rest of the changes in this once you have done what I have asked Grinch.

Thanks!
