█BACKGROUND ▬
*The setting of an interrogation room on a video screen takes place with a lone metal table and chair, the chair occupied by a racoon faunus handcuffed at the wrists. Rowan D. Karmitchal. Faunus of the racoon breed. Forty Seven counts of theft and 3 counts of breaking and entering up to date. Possibly more unaccounted for. Willingly handed himself over to the law and has admitted to their crimes with the permission of parole by attendance to Vale. The video enclosed contains the story and confession of a future Vale student.* (1st person bio) ---------- "Whoa. Is that camera really on? Nifty. I don't think me sitting here is a very good thing to watch. I may bore you to tears heheheh.... I know! I could easily sprawl on the table in a "paint me like one of your french girls" sort of way. Okay okaaaay... Time to be serious a moment. I know I chose to turn myself in, but something had to be done. I dooo love how you may be getting my good side though. It is on the left. Sure! You cannot tell by my fluffiness but the good side is there~! Eh!? Oh right! Confessional tape.... Where was I...
You see officers... Detectives? I know I have been bad, but you have to do what you must to survive... Even if it means taking from someone else. I am not saying I am proud of my actions, but my reasons are necessary I find... You can sit there with disbelief and disgust on your faces, but I am sure neither one of you have ever lived on the street.
They may say grimm are the worst.... But there is no truer hell then having to fend for ones self for an unnecessary amount of time. Vale is sicker then you fellas would believe! If you have walked these streets after dark as much as I have, you would be shocked about what I consider a normal evening. How long have I been on the street? Practically my whole life. Ever since I was young as I can remember, I have been fending to survive. Neither of my little sisters made it past three and four.... Hunger got to them aside from the cold weathers. Spara and Rowla. It explains my tattoo. It is not just for a fashion statement!! ..... Hm? Yeah. I used to have a family.. My father left my mother to fend for ourselves when I was just a baby. They could never afford a decent home and the best choice for shelter were the cities below. He had enough of it and he took off. My mother left a long time ago to go search for him like the crackerjack she was. Who in their right mind uses dust to try inhaling it?? I am surprised but happy she hadn't overdosed on the crap. She was a mess. He was apparently more important then I was to, especially since my siblings deaths had seemed to be the least of her worries too... Joys of snorting dust. Her only two favorite things. I always wonder why she had me to begin with in this sense. It was not like she could remember my name for pete sake. I kid you not... I gave myself the name Rowan. She would refer to my as Lemura. No idea why either. But anyways.... They could both be dead for all I know. Frankly kids do not normally wish ill thoughts but I hope they have both dropped. I was six and all alone because of it. Which frankly does not bother me much now. Only sometimes.... I had to learn to find food the hard way, whether it was by begging like a poor sap, or stealing it when I got desperate. I am not proud to admit I have went as far as dumpster diving. Never try day old fish! I was sick for a week! Watch for the blowflies! they are nasty!! Ahaahahahah..... Haaa...
Why did I never go to an orphanage? Orphanages were tempting but like my father would say: "Nothing built a man up like hard work and street smarts. Patience is a must have too." Man he was not kidding!! I mean look at my dirty accomplishments sirs! I could honestly be overstating the factors on my number of thefts but as you said when ya cuffed me.. "Stealing is still a crime." I will admit taking a woman's sandwich off her plate was hysterical. Well... Not the heart attack she almost got. Just the victory part. Just the right amount of cheeeese..... Oh? The rich folk are scum. The ones I have met so far anyways. Last ones I encountered had mocked and ridiculed me when I tried to crash a party for food. Instead of helping me they kicked me out with insults about faunus. They were just so peachy. Not. Forgive me if I felt they deserve to know what it was like with nothing. They have everything on a daily basis and sometimes they make no effort for it. Drives me bonkadoodles. The last break in I had was with a family like that actually. They wanted to cut my tail off and use it for their pets!! It was how I got the scar on my leg. Hopping over their fence but tripping was not the boldest of moves. The one on my head? It... Believe it or not was from a rich brat when I was eight. A well deserved black eye they received after hitting me in the head with a rock! Painful right??? I sometimes wish to find the kid and punch him a few more times of they still stuuuuuupid.. Oh? That's all you wanted for now? A shame. I wan't finished. Fine... One question though.... What is Vale academy like? I hear it has a roof for over my head and a lot of people my age. Oh? Yeah. If I am able... I would like to go there..... Tell me more...." *end of tape * --------------- What the police did not know that day, there was more to the story then what had been told. Rowan left out the important bit: The true reason he had turned himself in. The truth was... Rowan was on the run. A low and unranking gangof miscreants known as "Black Moon," had tried to recruit him. The small gang consists of faunus who too, had met similar problems as the young raccoon faunus, that lead to the streets for their homes. Once buddies with the group, Rowan had been around them for awhile, mostly shooting the s**t, hassling people and normal level d**chebaggery. When they found out of Rowans special abilities and his little secrets of theft, the group wanted to take their fun to the next level. Instead of causing minor disturbances among the streets and peddling, the group wanted to resort to high time theft and burglary. At first it seemed tempting, but of course all temptations must come to an end at some point. His first job attempt with them involved stealing from a dust shop with masks covering their faces. The plan was to break in, steal a whole shelf full, and leave. Plans did not turn well as after getting them in, they were faced with the shopkeeper having returned for an item they forgot. It was lucky Rowan was in shadow stepping mode just barely making it out. Things went to tell for the shopkeeper. After witnessing one of the faunus with a gun to the shopkeepers head, it was clear they wanted to take their lengths to murder and greed. Things the racoon did not believe in. Rowan had been silent the whole time, only able to watch with disgust in the shadows by the actions made for dust. The group managed to escape safely intact after a good run from law enforcement. The fact Rowan did not leave with them he was considered as a threat to their plans. The moment he safely returned to them he was met with a knife to his throat and his life threatened. "If you tell anybody you will be sorry. Keep working for us trashbucket and all will be fine."
A week later Rowan turned himself in, hoping to actually hide in Vale academy from the dark forces that haunt his very life. The week of being under their power forced him into hiding. His real reason for turning himself in: For his own safety from the streets.
█ █ ╫ I N V E N T O R Y ╫
█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Hula █ ▬ Hula is a unique 5.5foot diametered ringlade, that is fashioned like a deadly hula hoop. It can split into two boomerangs for his ranged form, or be used like duo swords for melee. This particular weapon he can use his natural faunus qualities their fullest, making him a more unpredictable fighter, as this can allow him to either swing it by the grips at opponents, throw it, split it into two for other form, or more so, be able to fight within the center of his weapon. The length of the boomerangs/swords are the same when split apart.
█Melee Form ▬ Ring Blade █Ranged Form ▬ bladed boomerangs █Other Form(s) ▬ duo swords █Ammo Type ▬ physical but aura enhanced on level 3 █ ▬ (Drawbacks) Rowan has to keep a special pair of gloves on that can help his weapon get back to him through its homing device. If he is not wearing these gloves, or they get damaged, he has to retrieve the weapon himself if he throws it.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ 3 smoke bombs- the smoke bombs have a ten foot diameter on activation. They work for up to one post, before the smoke bombs dissipate.
█ ▬ █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ Flashlight and binoculars █ ▬ a backpack with basic needs items (toothbrushes and paste, bandages, four water bottles, etc.) plus a scrapbook and a notebook. █ ▬A lockpicking kit █▬ A camera █ ▬ A special pair of gloves that contain a homing device for his weapon, which allows the weapon to bring itself back to him.
█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Friction touch █*AURA COLOR ▬ Dark grey █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Friction touch is a form of friction manipulation that involves raising the sense of touch through contact. Those effects can cause an increase of pain intolerance to enemies, but for allies they gain better pain tolerance that will help in combat. For allies, the sheer fun of pranking, or even a lucky girl of interest, Rowan can also give someone a case of the tingles, making their own sense of touch off balanced to a point where making contact with the touched area (Ex: Shoulder) will experience a rush of ecstasy through their system (aka good vibes.) This can also be good use for allies
He is also able to give higher sensitivity to himself for detecting enemies within a 10 foot range (only available at level 3) The most possible highest level for him he is able to use his semblance into his bullets to increase the pain intolerance. The moment his semblance ends though a part of his body randomly falls asleep (chart in drawbacks rolled 1d10) after each sblance use for 12-24 hours (1-50 dice roll used for this) █*LEVEL 0 ▬ (0-99 posts)Rowan is only able to affect people 2 at a time for 4 posts (pain intolerance increase through physical contact only/ pain tolerance for allies) Semblance drawback occurs before cooldown. Cooldown for 5 posts. █*LEVEL 1▬ (100-199 posts)Rowan can effect 3 people in combat (both negative effecting and positive through contact only) and has no control to stop it. He is also able to effect Lupin and Warthog classed grimm with his ability. This takes effect for 4 posts. 1-40 semblance 41-100 drawback, Cooldown for 5 posts. █*LEVEL 2▬ (200-299 posts) Rowan is able to effect up to 5 people both positive and negative effect by touch and is willingly able to cancel it. He is also able to effect Ursa, and bird classed Grimm. Lasts for four posts or unless he turns it off himself. Semblence drawback occurs before cooldown. Cooldown for 4 posts. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ (300-399 posts) The top level for Rowan he is able to effect up to seven people and able to enhance the blunt ends of his boomerangs with his semblance to inflict it. As a passive ability he is also able to detect enemies within a ten foot range (but not exact location). For grimm he is finally able to use his ability on snake and scorpion top classed grimm aside from other class levels. Able to turn the semblance off willingly. Lasts for three posts on people and five for grimm. Semblance drawback occurs before cooldown. Cooldown for 3 posts. █*DRAWBACKS ▬
The drawback to Rowans semblance at the cost of increasing touch sensitivity is at the cost of his own to a point of numbness. The more the drawback occur the more numbness will spread through his body to a point of the body physically sleeping. The numbness also feels like that part of the body is in slumber. (At the end of each semblance use, the chart below shows thrpugh dice roll what part gets effected.) =====
Body chart of numbness!!! 1 His whole body - this an auto k.o for Rowan 2-10 neck 11-20 legs (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 21-30 hands (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 31-40 shoulders (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 41-50 butt 51-60 arms (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both)- both entail he can still use his hands but his arms he cannot controlgvv 61- 70 eyes (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both)- both eyes entail hes blind 71-80 feet (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both)-both entail he can no longer walk till another day 81-90 Chest -this effects his breathing, making him more sluggish and a harder time to react 91-100 back - 101- tail
The second drawback to Rowans semblance is caused from giving his comrades more tolerance to pain. If a comrade takes damage while under his semblance, he will mentally feel the pain twice the power.

”IT’S ME – LU!”
Here to judge your profile today is ME! Lucky you!
~ Firstly, I really enjoyed reading the background! I like the style of it, Rowan seems like he will be a load of fun to have in a team! The only thing I can see just needs a couple of small tweaks is your Semblance, which I’ll explain as best as I can here – If you need any clarity or anything send me a message!
~ In the description, it suggests that Rowan can enhance sensitivity to those around him, I know we have spoken about it, however, could you explain what sense becomes heightened – this will provide an explanation for your teammates when they experience this semblance!
~ Another suggestion I had for this semblance would be to increase individuals tolerance to pain, I feel like this would make the semblance strong, but not op – if teammates are harmed or your own character, using this to aid them and help them stand for longer would be pretty cool! This is totally your choice, and just a recommendation from me!
~ For level 0, I would suggest potentially making the amount of posts its effective for a little larger, potentially 4? - 2 posts is over extremely quickly in a fight, and I feel like you could do with this being a little stronger, for others in a fight might avoid some attacks and render your semblance a little bit of a waste sometimes! If it’s more posts, the chance of you hitting someone increases! (This is obviously your choice, just a recommendation!)
~ For levels 0, 1, 2, 3 could you please include the cooldown period (number of posts) for this to be able to be used again?
~ For level 1, you could again increase the number of posts. By this point you have 100 posts which is impressive, I feel like making it last longer is well deserved.
~ For level 2 & 3, It states that he can willingly turn this off himself which is fine, however could you let me know a cooldown period before he can activate it again? If it lasts for less than the maximum posts, you can activate it sooner etc. (Make it last for more posts again – BE STRONG ROWAN!!)
~ Level 3 is exciting! I like that you can now use it as a ranged semblance with his weapons!

Tell me more...." *end of tape * --------------- What the police did not know that day, there was more to the story then what had been told. Rowan left out the important bit: The true reason he had turned himself in. The truth was... Rowan was on the run. A low and unranking gangof miscreants known as "Black Moon," had tried to recruit him. The small gang consists of faunus who too, had met similar problems as the young raccoon faunus, that lead to the streets for their homes. Once buddies with the group, Rowan had been around them for awhile, mostly shooting the s**t, hassling people and normal level d**chebaggery. When they found out of Rowans special abilities and his little secrets of theft, the group wanted to take their fun to the next level. Instead of causing minor disturbances among the streets and peddling, the group wanted to resort to high time theft and burglary. At first it seemed tempting, but of course all temptations must come to an end at some point. His first job attempt with them involved stealing from a dust shop with masks covering their faces. The plan was to break in, steal a whole shelf full, and leave. Plans did not turn well as after getting them in, they were faced with the shopkeeper having returned for an item they forgot. It was lucky Rowan was in shadow stepping mode just barely making it out. Things went to tell for the shopkeeper. After witnessing one of the faunus with a gun to the shopkeepers head, it was clear they wanted to take their lengths to murder and greed. Things the racoon did not believe in. Rowan had been silent the whole time, only able to watch with disgust in the shadows by the actions made for dust. The group managed to escape safely intact after a good run from law enforcement. The fact Rowan did not leave with them he was considered as a threat to their plans. The moment he safely returned to them he was met with a knife to his throat and his life threatened. "If you tell anybody you will be sorry. Keep working for us trashbucket and all will be fine."
A week later Rowan turned himself in, hoping to actually hide in Vale academy from the dark forces that haunt his very life. The week of being under their power forced him into hiding. His real reason for turning himself in: For his own safety from the streets.

█BACKGROUND ▬
*The setting of an interrogation room on a video screen takes place with a lone metal table and chair, the chair occupied by a racoon faunus handcuffed at the wrists. Rowan D. Karmitchal. Faunus of the racoon breed. Forty Seven counts of theft and 3 counts of breaking and entering up to date. Possibly more unaccounted for. Willingly handed himself over to the law and has admitted to their crimes with the permission of parole by attendance to Vale. The video enclosed contains the story and confession of a future Vale student.* (1st person bio) ---------- "Whoa. Is that camera really on? Nifty. I don't think me sitting here is a very good thing to watch. I may bore you to tears heheheh.... I know! I could easily sprawl on the table in a "paint me like one of your french girls" sort of way. Okay okaaaay... Time to be serious a moment. I know I chose to turn myself in, but something had to be done. I dooo love how you may be getting my good side though. It is on the left. Sure! You cannot tell by my fluffiness but the good side is there~! Eh!? Oh right! Confessional tape.... Where was I...
You see officers... Detectives? I know I have been bad, but you have to do what you must to survive... Even if it means taking from someone else. I am not saying I am proud of my actions, but my reasons are necessary I find... You can sit there with disbelief and disgust on your faces, but I am sure neither one of you have ever lived on the street.
They may say grimm are the worst.... But there is no truer hell then having to fend for ones self for an unnecessary amount of time. Vale is sicker then you fellas would believe! If you have walked these streets after dark as much as I have, you would be shocked about what I consider a normal evening. How long have I been on the street? Practically my whole life. Ever since I was young as I can remember, I have been fending to survive. Neither of my little sisters made it past three and four.... Hunger got to them aside from the cold weathers. Spara and Rowla. It explains my tattoo. It is not just for a fashion statement!! ..... Hm? Yeah. I used to have a family.. My father left my mother to fend for ourselves when I was just a baby. They could never afford a decent home and the best choice for shelter were the cities below. He had enough of it and he took off. My mother left a long time ago to go search for him like the crackerjack she was. Who in their right mind uses dust to try inhaling it?? I am surprised but happy she hadn't overdosed on the crap. She was a mess. He was apparently more important then I was to, especially since my siblings deaths had seemed to be the least of her worries too... Joys of snorting dust. Her only two favorite things. I always wonder why she had me to begin with in this sense. It was not like she could remember my name for pete sake. I kid you not... I gave myself the name Rowan. She would refer to my as Lemura. No idea why either. But anyways.... They could both be dead for all I know. Frankly kids do not normally wish ill thoughts but I hope they have both dropped. I was six and all alone because of it. Which frankly does not bother me much now. Only sometimes.... I had to learn to find food the hard way, whether it was by begging like a poor sap, or stealing it when I got desperate. I am not proud to admit I have went as far as dumpster diving. Never try day old fish! I was sick for a week! Watch for the blowflies! they are nasty!! Ahaahahahah..... Haaa...
Why did I never go to an orphanage? Orphanages were tempting but like my father would say: "Nothing built a man up like hard work and street smarts. Patience is a must have too." Man he was not kidding!! I mean look at my dirty accomplishments sirs! I could honestly be overstating the factors on my number of thefts but as you said when ya cuffed me.. "Stealing is still a crime." I will admit taking a woman's sandwich off her plate was hysterical. Well... Not the heart attack she almost got. Just the victory part. Just the right amount of cheeeese..... Oh? The rich folk are scum. The ones I have met so far anyways. Last ones I encountered had mocked and ridiculed me when I tried to crash a party for food. Instead of helping me they kicked me out with insults about faunus. They were just so peachy. Not. Forgive me if I felt they deserve to know what it was like with nothing. They have everything on a daily basis and sometimes they make no effort for it. Drives me bonkadoodles. The last break in I had was with a family like that actually. They wanted to cut my tail off and use it for their pets!! It was how I got the scar on my leg. Hopping over their fence but tripping was not the boldest of moves. The one on my head? It... Believe it or not was from a rich brat when I was eight. A well deserved black eye they received after hitting me in the head with a rock! Painful right??? I sometimes wish to find the kid and punch him a few more times of they still stuuuuuupid.. Oh? That's all you wanted for now? A shame. I wan't finished. Fine... One question though.... What is Vale academy like? I hear it has a roof for over my head and a lot of people my age. Oh? Yeah. If I am able... I would like to go there..... Tell me more...." *end of tape * --------------- What the police did not know that day, there was more to the story then what had been told. Rowan left out the important bit: The true reason he had turned himself in. The truth was... Rowan was on the run. A low and unranking gangof miscreants known as "Black Moon," had tried to recruit him. The small gang consists of faunus who too, had met similar problems as the young raccoon faunus, that lead to the streets for their homes. Once buddies with the group, Rowan had been around them for awhile, mostly shooting the s**t, hassling people and normal level d**chebaggery. When they found out of Rowans special abilities and his little secrets of theft, the group wanted to take their fun to the next level. Instead of causing minor disturbances among the streets and peddling, the group wanted to resort to high time theft and burglary. At first it seemed tempting, but of course all temptations must come to an end at some point. His first job attempt with them involved stealing from a dust shop with masks covering their faces. The plan was to break in, steal a whole shelf full, and leave. Plans did not turn well as after getting them in, they were faced with the shopkeeper having returned for an item they forgot.

Rowan had been silent the whole time, only able to watch with disgust in the shadows by the actions made for dust. The group managed to escape safely intact after a good run from law enforcement. The fact Rowan did not leave with them he was considered as a threat to their plans. The moment he safely returned to them he was met with a knife to his throat and his life threatened. "If you tell anybody you will be sorry. Keep working for us trashbucket and all will be fine."

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:
Inventory:
1. When you say diameter (for primary weapons), do you mean in feet? If so just add that in there 2. When it splits, is the overall diameter/ length of this the same. 3. How long does the smoke bomb last?
Semblance:
4. For the level 3, I would reduce it to 10 feet range.
∰-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.

*The setting of an interrogation room on a video screen takes place with a lone metal table and chair, the chair occupied by a racoon faunus handcuffed at the wrists. Rowan D. Karmitchal. Faunus of the racoon breed. Forty Seven counts of theft and 3 counts of breaking and entering up to date. Possibly more unaccounted for. Willingly handed himself over to the law and has admitted to their crimes with the permission of parole by attendance to Vale. The video enclosed contains the story and confession of a future Vale student.* (1st person bio) ---------- "Whoa. Is that camera really on? Nifty. I don't think me sitting here is a very good thing to watch. I may bore you to tears heheheh.... I know! I could easily sprawl on the table in a "paint me like one of your french girls" sort of way. Okay okaaaay... Time to be serious a moment. I know I chose to turn myself in, but something had to be done. I dooo love how you may be getting my good side though. It is on the left. Sure! You cannot tell by my fluffiness but the good side is there~! Eh!? Oh right! Confessional tape.... Where was I...
You see officers... Detectives? I know I have been bad, but you have to do what you must to survive... Even if it means taking from someone else. I am not saying I am proud of my actions, but my reasons are necessary I find... You can sit there with disbelief and disgust on your faces, but I am sure neither one of you have ever lived on the street.
They may say grimm are the worst.... But there is no truer hell then having to fend for ones self for an unnecessary amount of time. Vale is sicker then you fellas would believe! If you have walked these streets after dark as much as I have, you would be shocked about what I consider a normal evening. How long have I been on the street? Practically my whole life. Ever since I was young as I can remember, I have been fending to survive. Neither of my little sisters made it past three and four.... Hunger got to them aside from the cold weathers. Spara and Rowla. It explains my tattoo. It is not just for a fashion statement!! ..... Hm? Yeah. I used to have a family.. My father left my mother to fend for ourselves when I was just a baby. They could never afford a decent home and the best choice for shelter were the cities below. He had enough of it and he took off. My mother left a long time ago to go search for him like the crackerjack she was. Who in their right mind uses dust to try inhaling it?? I am surprised but happy she hadn't overdosed on the crap. She was a mess. He was apparently more important then I was to, especially since my siblings deaths had seemed to be the least of her worries too... Joys of snorting dust. Her only two favorite things. I always wonder why she had me to begin with in this sense. It was not like she could remember my name for pete sake. I kid you not... I gave myself the name Rowan. She would refer to my as Lemura. No idea why either. But anyways.... They could both be dead for all I know. Frankly kids do not normally wish ill thoughts but I hope they have both dropped. I was six and all alone because of it. Which frankly does not bother me much now. Only sometimes.... I had to learn to find food the hard way, whether it was by begging like a poor sap, or stealing it when I got desperate. I am not proud to admit I have went as far as dumpster diving. Never try day old fish! I was sick for a week! Watch for the blowflies! they are nasty!! Ahaahahahah..... Haaa...
Why did I never go to an orphanage? Orphanages were tempting but like my father would say: "Nothing built a man up like hard work and street smarts. Patience is a must have too." Man he was not kidding!! I mean look at my dirty accomplishments sirs! I could honestly be overstating the factors on my number of thefts but as you said when ya cuffed me.. "Stealing is still a crime." I will admit taking a woman's sandwich off her plate was hysterical. Well... Not the heart attack she almost got. Just the victory part. Just the right amount of cheeeese..... Oh? The rich folk are scum. The ones I have met so far anyways. Last ones I encountered had mocked and ridiculed me when I tried to crash a party for food. Instead of helping me they kicked me out with insults about faunus. They were just so peachy. Not. Forgive me if I felt they deserve to know what it was like with nothing. They have everything on a daily basis and sometimes they make no effort for it. Drives me bonkadoodles. The last break in I had was with a family like that actually. They wanted to cut my tail off and use it for their pets!! It was how I got the scar on my leg. Hopping over their fence but tripping was not the boldest of moves. The one on my head? It... Believe it or not was from a rich brat when I was eight. A well deserved black eye they received after hitting me in the head with a rock! Painful right??? I sometimes wish to find the kid and punch him a few more times of they still stuuuuuupid.. Oh? That's all you wanted for now? A shame. I wan't finished. Fine... One question though.... What is Vale academy like? I hear it has a roof for over my head and a lot of people my age. Oh? Yeah. If I am able... I would like to go there..... Tell me more...." *end of tape * --------------- What the police did not know that day, there was more to the story then what had been told. Rowan left out the important bit: The true reason he had turned himself in. The truth was... Rowan was on the run. A low and unranking gangof miscreants known as "Black Moon," had tried to recruit him. The small gang consists of faunus who too, had met similar problems as the young raccoon faunus, that lead to the streets for their homes. Once buddies with the group, Rowan had been around them for awhile, mostly shooting the s**t, hassling people and normal level d**chebaggery. When they found out of Rowans special abilities and his little secrets of theft, the group wanted to take their fun to the next level. Instead of causing minor disturbances among the streets and peddling, the group wanted to resort to high time theft and burglary. At first it seemed tempting, but of course all temptations must come to an end at some point. His first job attempt with them involved stealing from a dust shop with masks covering their faces. The plan was to break in, steal a whole shelf full, and leave. Plans did not turn well as after getting them in, they were faced with the shopkeeper having returned for an item they forgot. It was lucky Rowan was in shadow stepping mode just barely making it out. Things went to tell for the shopkeeper. After witnessing one of the faunus with a gun to the shopkeepers head, it was clear they wanted to take their lengths to murder and greed. Things the racoon did not believe in. Rowan had been silent the whole time, only able to watch with disgust in the shadows by the actions made for dust. The group managed to escape safely intact after a good run from law enforcement. The fact Rowan did not leave with them he was considered as a threat to their plans. The moment he safely returned to them he was met with a knife to his throat and his life threatened. "If you tell anybody you will be sorry. Keep working for us trashbucket and all will be fine."
A week later Rowan turned himself in, hoping to actually hide in Vale academy from the dark forces that haunt his very life. The week of being under their power forced him into hiding. His real reason for turning himself in: For his own safety from the streets.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Hula █ ▬ Hula is a unique 5.5foot diametered ringlade, that is fashioned like a deadly hula hoop. It can split into two boomerangs for his ranged form, or be used like duo swords for melee. This particular weapon he can use his natural faunus qualities their fullest, making him a more unpredictable fighter, as this can allow him to either swing it by the grips at opponents, throw it, split it into two for other form, or more so, be able to fight within the center of his weapon. The length of the boomerangs/swords are the same when split apart.
█Melee Form ▬ Ring Blade █Ranged Form ▬ bladed boomerangs █Other Form(s) ▬ duo swords █Ammo Type ▬ physical but aura enhanced on level 3 █ ▬ (Drawbacks) Rowan has to keep a special pair of gloves on that can help his weapon get back to him through its homing device.

█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Friction touch █*AURA COLOR ▬ Dark grey █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Friction touch is a form of friction manipulation that involves raising the sense of touch through contact. Those effects can cause an increase of pain intolerance to enemies, but for allies they gain better pain tolerance that will help in combat. For allies, the sheer fun of pranking, or even a lucky girl of interest, Rowan can also give someone a case of the tingles, making their own sense of touch off balanced to a point where making contact with the touched area (Ex: Shoulder) will experience a rush of ecstasy through their system (aka good vibes.) This can also be good use for allies
He is also able to give higher sensitivity to himself for detecting enemies within a 10 foot range (only available at level 3) The most possible highest level for him he is able to use his semblance into his bullets to increase the pain intolerance. The moment his semblance ends though a part of his body randomly falls asleep (chart in drawbacks rolled 1d10) after each sblance use for 12-24 hours (1-50 dice roll used for this) █*LEVEL 0 ▬ (0-99 posts)Rowan is only able to affect people 2 at a time for 4 posts (pain intolerance increase through physical contact only/ pain tolerance for allies) Semblance drawback occurs before cooldown. Cooldown for 5 posts. █*LEVEL 1▬ (100-199 posts)Rowan can effect 3 people in combat (both negative effecting and positive through contact only) and has no control to stop it. He is also able to effect Lupin and Warthog classed grimm with his ability. This takes effect for 4 posts. 1-40 semblance 41-100 drawback, Cooldown for 5 posts. █*LEVEL 2▬ (200-299 posts) Rowan is able to effect up to 5 people both positive and negative effect by touch and is willingly able to cancel it. He is also able to effect Ursa, and bird classed Grimm. Lasts for four posts or unless he turns it off himself. Semblence drawback occurs before cooldown. Cooldown for 4 posts. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ (300-399 posts) The top level for Rowan he is able to effect up to seven people and able to enhance the blunt ends of his boomerangs with his semblance to inflict it. As a passive ability he is also able to detect enemies within a ten foot range (but not exact location). For grimm he is finally able to use his ability on snake and scorpion top classed grimm aside from other class levels. Able to turn the semblance off willingly. Lasts for three posts on people and five for grimm. Semblance drawback occurs before cooldown. Cooldown for 3 posts. █*DRAWBACKS ▬
The drawback to Rowans semblance at the cost of increasing touch sensitivity is at the cost of his own to a point of numbness. The more the drawback occur the more numbness will spread through his body to a point of the body physically sleeping. The numbness also feels like that part of the body is in slumber. (At the end of each semblance use, the chart below shows thrpugh dice roll what part gets effected.) =====
Body chart of numbness!!! 1 His whole body 2-10 neck 11-20 legs (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 21-30 hands (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 31-40 shoulders (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 41-50 butt 51-60 arms (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 61- 70 eyes (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 71-80 feet (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 81-90 Chest 91-100 back 101- tail
The second drawback to Rowans semblance is caused from giving his comrades more tolerance to pain. If a comrade takes damage while under his semblance, he will mentally feel the pain twice the power.
█HAIR ▬ Shaggy black hair with bangs that frame around his eyes. The nape of his neck is slightly longer then the rest of his hair. █CLOTHING ▬ Rowan prefers to keep casual clothes of comfort on. His only preferable choice aside from casual are more punk/gothic pants/jeans. For choices of shoes he prefers combat boots and running shoes. As it goes for pajama wear, Rowan is a shorts and socks only kind of guy. Being disdained by formal events Rowans formal choice of clothes consist of a simple black suit and tie. █ACCESSORIES ▬ A pair of thick black framed glasses. Fingerless dark brown gloves. █EYES ▬ electric blue █BUILD ▬ Rowan has broad shoulders and long legs, and he is slightly slim but has a sturdy exterior from his adventures in the city of vale. █TATTOOS ▬ Rowan has a tattoo of a sparrow on the inside of his wrist. █SCARS ▬ one scar on the outer part of his right thigh, a second one hiding under his bangs over his left eye. █MARKINGS/FAUNUS FEATURES ▬ A large fluffy raccoon tail and ears.

He is also pretty creative and likes to invent new words, despite the fact he is mostly butchering already made words, whether on accident or on purpose. When he discovers someone is on the richer side of things or nobility, his experience with them has caused him to be more cautious until he finds reason to trust them.

Self-conscious towards self: Due to a life of Larceny and poverty, the mentions and comments of both positivity and negativity effect him as comments and praise are rare to happen for him.
Weak-minded: in the terms of old habits Rowan suffers greatly from overcoming the need to steal. He sometimes gives into temptation overly quickly. Other times he will fight it until he gives in or he buys something to rid the habit. Signs to look for is twitchyness to the hands and rigid postures. His mood and mannerisms will also become obvious by his speech patterns.

█BACKGROUND ▬
*The setting of an interrogation room on a video screen takes place with a lone metal table and chair, the chair occupied by a racoon faunus handcuffed at the wrists. Rowan D. Karmitchal. Faunus of the racoon breed. Forty Seven counts of theft and 3 counts of breaking and entering up to date. Possibly more unaccounted for. Willingly handed himself over to the law and has admitted to their crimes with the permission of parole by attendance to Vale. The video enclosed contains the story and confession of a future Vale student.* (1st person bio) ---------- "Whoa. Is that camera really on? Nifty. I don't think me sitting here is a very good thing to watch. I may bore you to tears heheheh.... I know! I could easily sprawl on the table in a "paint me like one of your french girls" sort of way. Okay okaaaay... Time to be serious a moment. I know I chose to turn myself in, but something had to be done. I dooo love how you may be getting my good side though. It is on the left. Sure! You cannot tell by my fluffiness but the good side is there~! Eh!? Oh right! Confessional tape.... Where was I...
You see officers... Detectives? I know I have been bad, but you have to do what you must to survive... Even if it means taking from someone else. I am not saying I am proud of my actions, but my reasons are necessary I find... You can sit there with disbelief and disgust on your faces, but I am sure neither one of you have ever lived on the street.
They may say grimm are the worst.... But there is no truer hell then having to fend for ones self for an unnecessary amount of time. Vale is sicker then you fellas would believe! If you have walked these streets after dark as much as I have, you would be shocked about what I consider a normal evening. How long have I been on the street? Practically my whole life. Ever since I was young as I can remember, I have been fending to survive. Neither of my little sisters made it past three and four.... Hunger got to them aside from the cold weathers. Spara and Rowla. It explains my tattoo. It is not just for a fashion statement!! ..... Hm? Yeah. I used to have a family.. My father left my mother to fend for ourselves when I was just a baby. They could never afford a decent home and the best choice for shelter were the cities below. He had enough of it and he took off. My mother left a long time ago to go search for him like the crackerjack she was. Who in their right mind uses dust to try inhaling it?? I am surprised but happy she hadn't overdosed on the crap. She was a mess. He was apparently more important then I was to, especially since my siblings deaths had seemed to be the least of her worries too... Joys of snorting dust. Her only two favorite things. I always wonder why she had me to begin with in this sense. It was not like she could remember my name for pete sake. I kid you not... I gave myself the name Rowan. She would refer to my as Lemura. No idea why either. But anyways.... They could both be dead for all I know. Frankly kids do not normally wish ill thoughts but I hope they have both dropped. I was six and all alone because of it. Which frankly does not bother me much now. Only sometimes.... I had to learn to find food the hard way, whether it was by begging like a poor sap, or stealing it when I got desperate. I am not proud to admit I have went as far as dumpster diving. Never try day old fish! I was sick for a week! Watch for the blowflies! they are nasty!! Ahaahahahah..... Haaa...
Why did I never go to an orphanage? Orphanages were tempting but like my father would say: "Nothing built a man up like hard work and street smarts. Patience is a must have too." Man he was not kidding!! I mean look at my dirty accomplishments sirs! I could honestly be overstating the factors on my number of thefts but as you said when ya cuffed me.. "Stealing is still a crime." I will admit taking a woman's sandwich off her plate was hysterical. Well... Not the heart attack she almost got. Just the victory part. Just the right amount of cheeeese..... Oh? The rich folk are scum. The ones I have met so far anyways. Last ones I encountered had mocked and ridiculed me when I tried to crash a party for food. Instead of helping me they kicked me out with insults about faunus. They were just so peachy. Not. Forgive me if I felt they deserve to know what it was like with nothing. They have everything on a daily basis and sometimes they make no effort for it. Drives me bonkadoodles. The last break in I had was with a family like that actually. They wanted to cut my tail off and use it for their pets!! It was how I got the scar on my leg. Hopping over their fence but tripping was not the boldest of moves. The one on my head? It... Believe it or not was from a rich brat when I was eight. A well deserved black eye they received after hitting me in the head with a rock! Painful right??? I sometimes wish to find the kid and punch him a few more times of they still stuuuuuupid.. Oh? That's all you wanted for now? A shame. I wan't finished. Fine... One question though.... What is Vale academy like? I hear it has a roof for over my head and a lot of people my age. Oh? Yeah. If I am able... I would like to go there..... Tell me more...." *end of tape * --------------- What the police did not know that day, there was more to the story then what had been told. Rowan left out the important bit: The true reason he had turned himself in. The truth was... Rowan was on the run. A low and unranking gangof miscreants known as "Black Moon," had tried to recruit him. The small gang consists of faunus who too, had met similar problems as the young raccoon faunus, that lead to the streets for their homes. Once buddies with the group, Rowan had been around them for awhile, mostly shooting the s**t, hassling people and normal level d**chebaggery. When they found out of Rowans special abilities and his little secrets of theft, the group wanted to take their fun to the next level. Instead of causing minor disturbances among the streets and peddling, the group wanted to resort to high time theft and burglary. At first it seemed tempting, but of course all temptations must come to an end at some point. His first job attempt with them involved stealing from a dust shop with masks covering their faces. The plan was to break in, steal a whole shelf full, and leave. Plans did not turn well as after getting them in, they were faced with the shopkeeper having returned for an item they forgot. It was lucky Rowan was in shadow stepping mode just barely making it out. Things went to tell for the shopkeeper. After witnessing one of the faunus with a gun to the shopkeepers head, it was clear they wanted to take their lengths to murder and greed. Things the racoon did not believe in. Rowan had been silent the whole time, only able to watch with disgust in the shadows by the actions made for dust. The group managed to escape safely intact after a good run from law enforcement. The fact Rowan did not leave with them he was considered as a threat to their plans. The moment he safely returned to them he was met with a knife to his throat and his life threatened. "If you tell anybody you will be sorry. Keep working for us trashbucket and all will be fine."
A week later Rowan turned himself in, hoping to actually hide in Vale academy from the dark forces that haunt his very life. The week of being under their power forced him into hiding. His real reason for turning himself in: For his own safety from the streets.

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Hula █ ▬ Hula is a unique 5.5foot diametered ringlade, that is fashioned like a deadly hula hoop. It can split into two boomerangs for his ranged form, or be used like duo swords for melee. This particular weapon he can use his natural faunus qualities their fullest, making him a more unpredictable fighter, as this can allow him to either swing it by the grips at opponents, throw it, split it into two for other form, or more so, be able to fight within the center of his weapon. The length of the boomerangs/swords are the same when split apart.
█Melee Form ▬ Ring Blade █Ranged Form ▬ bladed boomerangs █Other Form(s) ▬ duo swords █Ammo Type ▬ physical but aura enhanced on level 3 █ ▬ (Drawbacks) Rowan has to keep a special pair of gloves on that can help his weapon get back to him through its homing device. If he is not wearing these gloves, or they get damaged, he has to retrieve the weapon himself if he throws it.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ 3 smoke bombs- the smoke bombs have a ten foot diameter on activation. They work for up to one post, before the smoke bombs dissipate.
█ ▬ █ ▬ █ITEMS █ ▬ Flashlight and binoculars █ ▬ a backpack with basic needs items (toothbrushes and paste, bandages, four water bottles, etc.) plus a scrapbook and a notebook. █ ▬A lockpicking kit █▬ A camera █ ▬ A special pair of gloves that contain a homing device for his weapon, which allows the weapon to bring itself back to him.

█*NAME ▬ Friction touch █*AURA COLOR ▬ Dark grey █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Friction touch is a form of friction manipulation that involves raising the sense of touch through contact. Those effects can cause an increase of pain intolerance to enemies, but for allies they gain better pain tolerance that will help in combat. For allies, the sheer fun of pranking, or even a lucky girl of interest, Rowan can also give someone a case of the tingles, making their own sense of touch off balanced to a point where making contact with the touched area (Ex: Shoulder) will experience a rush of ecstasy through their system (aka good vibes.) This can also be good use for allies
He is also able to give higher sensitivity to himself for detecting enemies within a 10 foot range (only available at level 3) The most possible highest level for him he is able to use his semblance into his bullets to increase the pain intolerance. The moment his semblance ends though a part of his body randomly falls asleep (chart in drawbacks rolled 1d10) after each sblance use for 12-24 hours (1-50 dice roll used for this) █*LEVEL 0 ▬ (0-99 posts)Rowan is only able to affect people 2 at a time for 4 posts (pain intolerance increase through physical contact only/ pain tolerance for allies) Semblance drawback occurs before cooldown. Cooldown for 5 posts. █*LEVEL 1▬ (100-199 posts)Rowan can effect 3 people in combat (both negative effecting and positive through contact only) and has no control to stop it. He is also able to effect Lupin and Warthog classed grimm with his ability. This takes effect for 4 posts. 1-40 semblance 41-100 drawback, Cooldown for 5 posts. █*LEVEL 2▬ (200-299 posts) Rowan is able to effect up to 5 people both positive and negative effect by touch and is willingly able to cancel it. He is also able to effect Ursa, and bird classed Grimm. Lasts for four posts or unless he turns it off himself. Semblence drawback occurs before cooldown. Cooldown for 4 posts. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ (300-399 posts) The top level for Rowan he is able to effect up to seven people and able to enhance the blunt ends of his boomerangs with his semblance to inflict it. As a passive ability he is also able to detect enemies within a ten foot range (but not exact location). For grimm he is finally able to use his ability on snake and scorpion top classed grimm aside from other class levels. Able to turn the semblance off willingly. Lasts for three posts on people and five for grimm. Semblance drawback occurs before cooldown. Cooldown for 3 posts. █*DRAWBACKS ▬
The drawback to Rowans semblance at the cost of increasing touch sensitivity is at the cost of his own to a point of numbness. The more the drawback occur the more numbness will spread through his body to a point of the body physically sleeping. The numbness also feels like that part of the body is in slumber. (At the end of each semblance use, the chart below shows thrpugh dice roll what part gets effected.) =====
Body chart of numbness!!! 1 His whole body - this an auto k.o for Rowan 2-10 neck 11-20 legs (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 21-30 hands (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 31-40 shoulders (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both) 41-50 butt 51-60 arms (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both)- both entail he can still use his hands but his arms he cannot controlgvv 61- 70 eyes (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both)- both eyes entail hes blind 71-80 feet (second 1d2 roll to determine one or both)-both entail he can no longer walk till another day 81-90 Chest -this effects his breathing, making him more sluggish and a harder time to react 91-100 back - 101- tail
The second drawback to Rowans semblance is caused from giving his comrades more tolerance to pain. If a comrade takes damage while under his semblance, he will mentally feel the pain twice the power.
