Cole​

Name: Colelle 'Cole' M. Cab
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Race: Honey Bee Faunus (Queen Bee Specifically)
Personality/Backstory: Cole is organized, efficient and overpowering. Those traits come naturally to a faunus raised to control an entire colony of other fauna. Unlike their arthropod counterparts, the regular honey bees, the bee fauna are not a part of a hive mind. They can communicate telepathically with one another, but their evolved brains fare too difficult to be controlled by any number of queen bees, let alone one. Cole's mind and body are both far more advanced than those of her brethren. This is because she was fed the royal jelly, that amplified her growth process for the sole purpose of keeping the colony alive. However, she never did occupy her position.

She was a dwarf Queen, a replacement just in case of the reigning queen's death. She wasn't alone, there were 4 other dwarf queens in her 'hive', all her step-sisters of course. In fact, the queen bee at the time was her step-sister as well. Cole never wanted to be queen. Few queens did. It was a tiring process, they were forced to attend classes and colony training, day in and out. She was almost always tired, but she kept the royal facade about her. Both her parents were dead; her father the day he met her mother and her mother the day she resigned from the throne. The only real communication she had was with her step-sisters, and they too were cold and distant. She did find solace in the time with her bees, and those care free hours were what stopped her from mutinying. Those were also the only times she had no outbursts. The hours and hours of pressure and solitude took a toll on Cole. She was the most 'emotional' of all her sisters, she was prone to outbursts of anger and sadness. Unbeknownst to her, this was the reason why she would never become queen. All of the hive knew, except for her. She dreaded the day she would ascend to throne, when in reality she would never. Everyone could've told her, but no one did. In mind and in soul she was truly alone.

However, all bad things must come to an end.

She couldn't bear with the thought of running a hive, even though she never was, so one day she appealed to the Queen Bee. She wanted to leave the hive. The Queen was delighted, but she feigned sadness. Ah, Colelle, my sister, I am deeply saddened that you wish to leave us. Alas! If that is what you want, then who am I to deny my little sister? Cole was also delighted, but did not bother to feign anything. She was grinning ear to ear by the time she left the Queen's quarters, and she couldn't control her laughter by the time she reached her quarters. She was finally free!

2 years later she looked at the large doors of the academy with the same grin on her face.

Appearance: Cole is a scrawny, dark skinned, 6'5" female Faunus. She has short, fuzzy and black hair, tinged with streaks of yellow. Hidden beneath this fuzz, is a pair of antennae whose tips poke out of it.
Her arms and legs also have similar fuzz, but is very diminished as it is a remnant of her bee heritage. Unlike worker bee fauna, she does not have compound eyes, she has more advanced mammal eyes, identical to those of humans. Her entire face is identical to that of a human, and is particularly nondescript. A narrow nose and large eyes on an almost triangular face. The only major difference is her mouth. Though she has regular lips, she can produce honey from her mouth. She does have a longer tongue than most humans, and tubes that secrete the honey as well.

She has a pair of vestigial wing and a pair of lumps on either side of her rib cage. In some fauna, those lumps can grow to form working arms. She does have one unique organ on her lower back. It is commonly called a hive, but it is a remnant of the abdomen of a queen bee. It is a paraboloid, alternately colored in black and yellow rings tipped with a stinger. The stinger is not covered with barbs. It contains a dense network of nerves and blood vessels, and is in close association with Cole's spinal cord. The hive is called such, as it is both the breeding ground and storage of bees. That is what sets Cole apart from regular Bee fauna. The hive acts like a regular beehive, it contains a Queen bee, worker bees and drone bees. The hive opens in hexagonal pores all along the rim of intersection between the hive and her skin. The worker and drone bees can freely emerge from this region. The entire 'hive' is lined with hair and the rim is lined with even more so. The honey that Cole secretes from her mouth comes from the hive. Every other aspect of her is undoubtedly human. The hive is slightly bigger than an american football, and protrudes outwards.

Cole wears basic leather armor over a yellow tank top and black jeans. This armor extends to her hive and covers the tip of it, but leaves the rim open. She often wears a cloak over this, in order to hide her hive from sight.

Semblance: Cole's semblance is Hive Mind. She has the ability to control the bees born in her hive to certain extents. As her power is now basic, she can only control the drone bees.
Weapon: Cole had never had access to advanced weapons, so the only weapon she has is a pistol, modified to shoot darts tipped with honey bee venom.
Roleplay Sample: Cole took a deep breath as she opened her palm. Concentrate. You can do this. She continued taking deep breaths and shut her eyes. When she opened them, their irises were milky, and the cornea was webbed with hexagonal red lines. At that moment her mind was not only in one entity, it was in the bodies of both Colelle and the drone bee in her palm. She willed the wings of the tiny insect to flap and she willed it to move to her other palm. This exercise was getting easier by the day. The flow of shifting from her mind to the insect's and back was getting increasingly easier. Her instructor had said that controlling one bee was the first and most challenging step, and the steps afterwards became easier. This did not comfort her in the slightest. Using her Hive Mind was a painful process, and she was never eager to do it day after day. At that moment in time controlling one, lone drone bee seemed like a Herculean task. She had no idea of the potential she had in her. No idea at all.

-snippety snoop dogg-

Colelle Cab Mayan goddess of bees of team INCT is accepted! omg J&S finally got an arthropod buddy! The idea of having a hive grafted to her body and making her control them sounds like an amazingly fun semblance to read and write with. I'll be waiting for the rest of the team ;)

One little thing though, I don't think being 6'5 counts as scrawny at all, just a small observation xD

 

[Ihsaan]

I meant scrawny as in physically weak. She's tall but brittle.

 

[Junier]

Ew, Fox, time to join your crusty roleplay. Here's members 3 and 2 for the Bug Boogaloo!

Application(s):

Spoiler:

Team INCT
'Insect'

Navar
... "Mozzie" Mongrue​

Age / Gender: Nineteen / Male
Race: Mosquito Faunus (Aedes albopictus)
Personality:
● The astute and perspicacious sort who responds quickly if need-be. Wields a sharp sense of perception and a keen wit. If it were up to him, he'd be team leader, and he seems especially sour towards the fact that he is not.
● Tends to act clingy and obsessively towards those that he loves and appreciates. He has a healthy-sized yet brittle ego; a single personal failure will send it crashing it down. He hates, more than anything, to be wrong or in the wrong and is very argumentative when things take a turn different than what he expects.
● He has a playful and teasing side, usually brought out by Tulile. He takes a special interest in mechanics and will gush on infinitely on other such topics that he enjoys. He tries to seem charming and amicable enough to anyone, excluding humans and Grimm.
Appearance: Navar has a soft brown complexion, a predictable clothing preference (baggy sweatshirts and jeans, occasionally some athletic wear outside of that; typical teenage garb) and a tall, angular face with a precise and protuberant Roman nose. Many of his features are sharp and rawboned, such as his spindly fingers with their gnarled, long nails, his long and lanky legs that compliment to his height. Navar is relatively tall, standing at just around six feet tall, though he possesses a slight hunchback that usually makes it appear otherwise. The faunus' long, dark and greasy hair mirrors the abilities of flagellum, extending his hearing capabilities, to the point where he can hear and identify the producer of a sound from a substantial distance. This makes him especially sensitive to loud, closeby noises, however. He is also susceptible to fire and light. Navar's insectual wings are underdeveloped and sit clamped uselessly to his middle back. He owns a feathery proboscis in place of a tongue to extract the nutrients that he needs, as well as a third arm, just as long as the others and appearing to branch off of his right. His right shirt sleeves are usually stretched as a result. He is ambidextrous.
Semblance: Absorption
Once activated, Navar's semblance acts to wrench away a target's aura using an odd vacuum powered through the faunus' hand motions. Distance between he and an opponent does not appear affect the effectiveness of Navar's semblance, thought he appears to be limited to a single aura-wielder at a time as of now. A small percentage of the aura sapped from his opponents benefits Navar as well.
Weapon: A long-ranged, multi-barreled mini-gun dubbed 'Starcrosser'. Occasionally uses dust crystals kept in color-coded cartridges as ammo but otherwise fires normal bullets. Dust crystals tend to be very explosive in-nature, making for a damaging yet unruly type of ammunition.

Tulile
... Capet​

Age / Gender: Seventeen / Female
Race: Fly Faunus (Glossina morsitans)
Personality / History: Tulile is free-spirited, work-oriented, docile. She follows rather than leads, on occasion follows blindly, and never doubts those she appreciates. Tulile is equable, deals with issues through ignorance. She is non-confrontational and almost quiet out of battle, as well as completely and utterly convinced that she entirely, undoubtedly in love with Navar Mongrue. She, and no one else, affectionately calls him "Mozzie" and he tends to summon her excitable and even rebellious side. She trails him defensively, a guard to Navar just as she was a guard to the children of her tribe. It was Tulile's duty amongst the Tik-Tiks, living on the arid outskirts of Mengaerie island, to protect the youth, help clothe and feed and raise them. There were many faunus like her with the same duty; they all had hundreds of sisters. The Tik-Tiks lived peacefully, semi-united with the other insectual faunus collections along the Dumping Grounds, as the humans so-scornfully dubbed it. Their shared Bane semblance doused their territory in a diry, stinking fog, inpenetrable to Grimm and other enemies whose eyes would burn at the poison and they'd be forced to turn back. Tulile loved her tribe—she learned to carve spears of all sorts and she even fought a Grimm, once. She left her family for Porsch to join the Faunus Academy and become a huntress, feeling there was more out there for her to accomplish, and she was too frail to support many healthy young, anyway.
Appearance: Tulile is dark-skinned with black curls cut short and close to her head. Through her bushy hair, one could see the ends of her antennae poking through. Tulile has other indicators of her faunus type, though the little malformed pair of arms strapped to her chest are usually hidden underneath her tunics; unlike Navar she possesses only two arms. Tulile stands at only five feet tall which to her, personally, is not troubling, not even in a battle setting. Tulile's fly features give her an advantage over opponents as she reacts solely to movement, giving her superb reaction time. She is impeccably hard to distract because she can only truly make out what is in-motion, in or out of battle. Many perceive Tulile as entirely blind based on her bulging, glazed-over, watery white eyes. Her taste in clothing usually pertains to loose, patterned tunics, paired in cold weather with stringy ponchos. She wears flats outside of battle or goes entirely barefoot. Oddly, she can smell through her feet. Tulile also has translucent wings, developed more than Navar's, but still too fragile to support complete flight. Instead, she uses them to break falls and float for short periods. Sometimes she flaps her wings out of habit when she is excited or anxious to produce a positively aggravating noise.
Semblance: Bane
In its most basic form, Tulile's semblance is a gaseous poison; a gripping, grit-colored fog meant to prohibit and gradually fatigue foes with its toxic properties. Bane is also infused with a number of Tulile's spears, preventing her from wielding any other weapon if she wishes to use her semblance to its full potential. When an opponent is prodded with the end of one of Tulile's spears, the blow will leave a bubbling, especially-painful boil in its wake. The boil will stay inflamed throughout a battle but, after about an hour or so, does disappear on its own.
Weapon: Relies on a collection of battle spears, as well as an arsenal of explosives. Tulile's ceramic handmade grenades detonate after making forceful contact, typically, with a solid surface. While the majority of her bombs are filled with powdered dust to make them especially prone to explosion, others are affected by Tulile's semblance. Whilst these bombs are weaker, they leave a smokey, choking shroud in their wake that promote disorientation of opponents and nonpunishable getaways on the user's end.

Character Sample:

Spoiler:

He took a long breath and started up his semblance. Inside, his being shifted, adjusting to the unleash of power. Navar felt the familiar feeling in his fingertips. The technique was simple, monotonous. Recurrently, the faunus turned his hands and fingers, slightly cupped, around and around one another, up and down. He could feel the vacuum, now, building up like a crafter's clay pot in his hands, but it was so light... Through the gaps in his twirling hands, he could feel the power threatening to escape him. Navar hunkered over and threw his arms—all three—into the motion. They whirled around the tangled sphere or air, crushed it, pulled at it with violent determination. The vacuum was huge, larger than he'd ever been able to make it, and then, sporadically, it was gone.

Navar said nothing. He crumbled forwards into his trio of palms, sat there and let the returning winds from the plains whisk freely past, carrying along the busied tones of the inner city. His hands were still cold but his face felt red-hot. All of that might and dominion and mastery, then, gone. Something was horrifically wrong, either with his technique, or perhaps it was solely with himself. But that was the most successful vacuum he'd ever produced with 'Absorption' and now here he sat, slouched, hopeless.

The autumn wind, Navar felt, was far more powerful than he. It streaked through the little outlying garden so strongly that it wailed. The faunus boy made no effort to move nevertheless. Instead, he wrapped his arms around himself, and out of a reluctance to move from his position and from his failure, he chose to brave the winds. They gushed throughout him like a waterfall, joggling Navar's lanky frame, tossing his fallum around and near his hand-shielded eyes. But then, the winds calmed, and the thrown-about fallum was massaged, patiently, back into place. A gentle force ran along his scalp. With it, the simultaneous smells of carrion and peaches as another pair of arms joined the ones hugging his waist.

He had heard her before she had noticed him, but she had smelt him before he had heard her. The whisking of her wings was unmistakable. Navar did not look up but he imagined her vividly; her glazed-over eyes that shone with an eternal moonlight and her skin forever parched and smelling like death, just as a timeless tomb was: beautiful in its antiquity.

Tulile's voice was a smooth and gentle buzzing. "Did you try again with your semblance today?" she murmured, very, very quiet, but her dark lips were so close to his fallum that he still felt the sensation of speech.

"Yes," Navar managed to say. "I don't know what I'm doing wrong." His words lifted thickly through his fingers, as if he almost dreaded speaking aloud. Yet, it felt, as Tulile caressed him on the bench in the stony garden, that she was forcing the chokes from his throat. Yet again, he believed it was a necessary process, almost like patting the back of his infant self to remove the excess. And Tulile didn't push him further, she never did. For a long while, they sat together in the peripheral place. Tulile put a hand on his upper back and Navar finally straightened up to meet her gaze. They kissed once, spoke nary a word, let the wind and the city life whisk past as they sat at ease amongst the crabgrass and lichen.

Eventually, Tulile would whisper her words of encouragement. "You'll get it one day... Just keep working at it, okay, Mozzie? If you can't learn on your own, you'll learn at the academy... Don't be too hard on yourself… Just one more month and we're in..."

Just one more month and we're in... Her words settled like the dying breeze in Navar's mind. She reached out to grab his hand but he stopped her. Sitting up further in order to turn and address her, the sharp-faced adolescent offered a playful smile. Tulile saw him ready his arms out in front of himself and appeared dubious. "But wait," he started before she could object. "Let me show you how far I've gotten. No, really, I'm so close, Tulie! Watch me." And zealously his hands began to spin.

Illias

​

Name: Illias Ith
Age: 20
Sex: Male
Race: Scorpion Faunus
Personality:
♦- Species Supremacist: -When it concerns Faunus, he views the world as predator versus prey. Considering his animal ancestor, the scorpion, to be a predator over a vast variety of insects, he has a distinct notion of supremacy and hierarchy that he feels inferiors must adhere to, yet he hypocritically contends the idea when challenging faunus of an ancestry that is historically his predator. Concerning humans, he believes faunus have a natural physical advantage, and those with critical thinking easily leave humans as inferior.
♦- Self-Preserving: -He does not go out of his way to do anything that he feels may be unnecessary or inconvenient to him. And though he may like to present an intimidating front, he does not actively antagonize others, not particularly keen to being malicious for the sake of it. If challenged, he will readily participate in the confrontation, aggressively.
♦ -Spiteful Calculator: -He harbors misdeeds he perceives against him, and when there is a chance to, he will be sure to return the favor to those who did ill by him.
♦ -Authoritative Leader: -Taking a leadership role, he enjoys the command and demand for obedience that comes with the status, though he will not go out of his way to establish a sense of trust or security as leader, more so the assertion that he is to be ultimately reckoned with. His primary motivation for his team is success, only because he has been placed at the forefront of the group and understands that if his teammates fail, he assumes responsibility. He is disinterested in establishing personal connections, keeping himself emotionally distant and hardened, playing on the rage of his team's perceived indignance of prejudices against insect Fauna to keep their passions ignited.
Appearance:

Spoiler:

​

188 cm / 6' 2" and 96 kg / 210 lbs, muscular physique; Olive skin tone with faint blotches of bluish pigment on the upper back and neck, shoulders, chest, abs and obliques, forearms and back of the hands, and thighs, knees, and from the calves down; Black eyes, tapered eyebrows, Roman nose, thin lips, straight long black hair that is kept in a messy updo, but reaches a little past his shoulders when let down.
Illias harbors the distinctive phenotypes of a Scorpion Faunus, all fully-functioning: 1) two large, pincered, chitin-plated pedipalps that sprout from and pull close to the sides of his face, and 2) a girthy, chitin-plated, fully-functional tail the length of his height, tipped with a stinger for injecting venoms.
Outfit is typically a navy blue low-collar sleeveless leather vest, thin white wide-neck t-shirt, navy leggings, a slate grey utility belt that pockets various items and off of which hangs the hilts for his two modified scissor katars, and slate grey combat boots.
Semblance: Chitin Armor
Dark patches in his skin are actually pigmented chitin deposits, and with the manipulation of Aura, the deposits activate in a version of sclerotization, his chitin hardening into raised armor that is durable enough to stop full metal jacket bullets. He is able to manipulate the formation of the structure of chitin, as well as deconstruct it back into his skin.
Weapon:

Spoiler:

Dubbed "Vice", two specially modified double-edged scissor katars with blades each the length of an adult forearm. When the thick grip is squeezed, the blade itself splits in half. Both halves pull out along the cross-guard, away from each other. Instead of a third, shorter blade in between them that is characteristic of a scissor katar, the split blade is instead inner-lined with barbs. The grip itself is an ammunition magazine, and also has a trigger and a magazine release underneath the trigger guard. When the grip is squeezed to open the blade and then the trigger pulled, a telescopic barrel the length of the blade pushes out, and ammo is fired in an automatic mechanic. When the grip is not squeezed for the blade to split apart, it is on "safety" mode as the trigger will not pull and the barrel will not extend. The top rail perpendicular to the grip also has a slide to force load ammo into the appropriate compartment along the cross guard for firing.

-snip snip i got scissors arr-

Ilias Ith of team INCT is accepted! That didn't take long at all

I'll be making one of these for each of the teams dw

 

[Ihsaan]

I think it'd be interesting if I posted Cole's Semblance leveled abilities beforehand, so I can change something if too OP.

Level 1: Cole can control 10 Drone Bees simultaneously. This can only be used for recon purpose, as drone bees have no offensive capabilities.

Level 2: Cole can now control 20 Drone Bees or 10 Worker Bees simultaneously. She cannot control both a drone and worker bee together. She can attack with her worker bees. She can also create dust infused honey with the help of her worker bees.

Level 3: She can control a total of 50 bees simultaneously (40 drone bees maximum and 30 Worker bees maximum).

Level 4: Cole can now control a total of 100 bees simultaneously ( 90 drone bees max and 50 Worker bees max). She can now infuse her bees with dust, by making them consume dust infused nectar. Drone bees act as kamikaze pilots of sorts and the worker bees can use 'elemental stings'.

Level 5: Cole can now control a grand total of 500 bees simultaneously. ( 400 drone bees max and 300 Worker Bees max) Cole has also begun to understand the working of the minds of other lesser insects. (Ants, Wasps, basically any insect that possesses an antenna.) She can control only a very few at a time, but she can cause a sensory lock down by overloading their antennae. This may also temporarily incapacitate bees in the field.

Level 6: Cole can now control a whopping 1000 bees at once. (900 Drone bees max 800 Worker Bees Max). She has also now fought with the Grimm enough to understand how their minds work. She is able to overload the senses of Insect Grimm, either knocking them out, or driving them into a frenzy. This sensory wave is also strong enough to cause strong headaches in Insect fauna.

Level 7: Cole's sensory capabilities have now extended to the Queen Bee of her hive and her dwarf queens. By controlling the queen, Cole is able to control every Bee in her hive simultaneously (with considerable effort). All 10,000 of them. (3,000 Drones, 7,000 workers). Her Ultimate semblance is the ability to 'suggest' thoughts to sentient beings. She can give strong urges to other beings. This is much easier done with insect fauna, as they are receptive, but it can work with other fauna, and even humans. However, the receptor has to have functioning hearing.

Also important to note, all Worker Bees are female, and the drone bees are male.

I think it'd be interesting if I posted Cole's Semblance leveled abilities beforehand, so I can change something if too OP.

damn it, now you're spoiling the surprise

 

[Foxrally]

-snip-

I actually really like all these levels, especially level 4 where she gains kamikaze bees. As for level 7 I think the "thought suggestion" is fairly good because after all it's level 7 and can basically be as overpowered as you want. Good think you're on level 2 right now or Cole wouldn't have been able to use her bees much xD

Looking forward to INCT's first post!

 

[Ihsaan]

Good to hear it's not too OP.

@Disclosed fuck u it's my life

I feel like I should explain suggestion a bit more.

Basically Cole can suggest conscious or sub-conscious 'thoughts'. That is to the CNS and the PNS or voluntary and involuntary. She can fill a person's head with conscious thoughts, like; '1234', 'I'm a dumbass.', etc. Basically, she can make weak minded people think they thought of the ideas she places in their heads.

The sub conscious level is a bit different. She can suggest the involuntary parts of the brain to trigger certain chemical releases, leading to reflexes such as; the need to urinate, rage, drowsiness, etc. This is much more harder to trigger however, unless she uses it on, say, a puppy.

thank fr reeding! :))

 

[Khawill]

Gaige

Spoiler:

Level 1: Ability to summon a dragon's head to breathe a specific element based on dust of choice.
Red: Fire
Blue: Water
Green: Air
Yellow: Light/Electricity

Level 2: A stationary dragon appears and attacks that which gets near it. This dragon is sustained by consuming enemies, or Gaige's own aura. There is no "Light" dragon.
The following mixes is allowed
Red+Blue+Green dust makes Earth dragon
Blue+Green Makes Ice dragon
Blue+Red Makes Steam dragon

Level 3: An entire dragon is created, Gaige must remain in contact (either by being on top of it, or holding a "leash") with it to keep a supply of Aura, again, consumption of enemies will lengthen the duration. The dragon is roughly Ten feet from head to tail, and moves like a serpent. Gaige is easily able to sustain his level 2 version.

Level 4: Gaige no longer requires contact with dragon to sustain it. The energy strain on Gaige is significantly lower. Gaige can alternatively summon two level 2 dragons. Level 4 dragons increase to 14 feet in length.
The following mixes are available
Green+Yellow: Storm Dragon
Red+Blue+Green+Yellow: Shadow Dragon

Level 5: Gaige has access to effortlessly control 2 level 3 dragons. 4 level 2 dragons, or a more powerful level 5 dragon. Level 5 dragon is more energy efficient and stronger. Gaige is able to summon a "dustless" dragon based off his personal Aura.
Dustless Dragon: This dragon's power is based off Gaige's willpower, and eats away at his Aura. Although the most potentially powerful dragon he can summon, it can kill him if he isn't careful.

Level 6: Gaige can summon 3 level 4 dragons at once, his energy efficiency allowing him to maintain all three as if he were level 4 sustaining one dragon. The "Dustless" dragon is more powerful, and Gaige gains the ability of consumption, anything that the Dustless dragon consumes will be fuel for it's existence as well as providing Gaige with more Aura. Gaige can store an amount of consumed energy for later. There can only ever be one "Dustless" dragon, as it represents the will of Gaige and has a mind of its own.

Level 7: Gaige can turn his body over to the "Dustless" dragon, providing him with a significant increase to physical abilities and Aura reserves. When empowered, Gaige is capable of summoning four level 5 dragons easily. The downside to this state of being is that Gaige can lose his body to the "Dustless" dragon, and he also becomes incredibly hungry for power. Gaige's conflict with the "Dustless" dragon means that his physical body can be paralyzed if the two conflict over control.

Archer

Spoiler:

Level 1: Archer is able to shoot and retract small objects.

Level 2: Archer can infuse the objects with energy for more damage, as well as allowing him to use seemingly weak objects much stronger. He can infuse dust into the feathers to produce elemental dust effects. He can somewhat control the movement of one group at a time.

Level 3: Archer can control the movement of two groups of feathers. Additionally, the energy put into the objects is increased, making them hit harder. Archer's body becomes lighter, allowing him to move quicker as well as jump and fly better. Archer's body doesn't atrophy, and his muscles increase with heavy objects as if he were under normal gravity. (Meaning he gets more out of lifting less).

Level 4: Archer can control up to four separate groups of objects at a time. The size/weight of objects he can control is also increased, he can now control objects that weigh as much as a spoon. The heavier the object, the less of it he can control. Gravity's influence on Archer is yet again weakened, and he is able to jump higher, and fly for long distances. Archer has no control yet of this lowered weight, and must carry heavier objects to stay feeling like normal.

Level 5: Archer can effortlessly control up to ten groups of objects at a time. He no longer needs physical feathers, and can spawn feathers of pure energy, though these pure energy attacks are weaker and more intensive on his Aura supply. Archer's object weight tolerance control is moderately higher, he can now shoot out and retract something as heavy as his sword or a gun. Archer has a little control over the influence of gravity on him, allowing him to switch between lightweight and normal. This requires a small amount of aura and focus, and while he is sleeping or unconscious, he is nearly weightless.

Level 6: Archer is no longer restricted by the amount of objects he controls, he can move each feather independently of each other. Pure energy feathers are equivalent to physical ones that are empowered. He is more efficient in their energy use. Archer is entirely weightless while unconscious, and must be tied down to his bed in order to stay in it. He no longer needs wings to fly, but he does need them to control where he goes. He is able to now increase the influence of gravity on him as well, emulating up to 2 times the earth's pull on him, making him weigh 2 times as much. In addition to just focusing on it, the state can be forcibly induced by a certain quantity of Purple Gravity Dust. Taking certain amounts before bed will keep him from floating off, taking too much will greatly increase the strain put on Archer. When Gravity is increased, Archer's body can become stronger through training, meaning he can train under twice as much weight and when he goes back to normal, he will be significantly stronger. Archer can use dust to get himself used to higher and higher magnitudes of normal gravity.

Level 7: Archer has full control of gravity on himself. Additionally, he is able to affect the gravity of others around him, increasing or decreasing it. The sum of the gravity imposed upon his targets is also applied to Archer. (So if he has person A influenced by 1.7 times the normal gravity, and person B under 5 times the normal gravity, then Archer will be under 6.7 times the normal gravity). Energy feathers are more powerful than empowered objects, making empowered objects obsolete, though he is still capable of controlling them.

Ilexa

Spoiler:

Level 1: Ilexa has higher strength than normal. Additionally, she is linked with her sister, gaining a quarter of her speed, and the cost of losing a quarter of her strength (penalty diminished based on the bond shared with the person she is linked with). Ilexa and Nina's bond allows them to share instincts. Ilexa is easily able to lift just about anything a considerably strong human could with ease. When the person she is linked to is knocked out, Ilexa will gain a spurt of power, gaining 100% of the traits gained through her natural semblance and the linked traits.

Level 2: Ilexa's strength increases, and she is capable of switching positions with her sister near instantaneously. Ilexa is able to lift things such as couches with people on it and lift one end of a car up easy. When linked, this become a couch, or one end of a car, barely.

Level 3: Ilexa's strength and endurance further increases. Allowing her to fully lift a car above her head. She receives half of her sister's speed.

Level 4: Moar strength, moar endurance. Ilexa can lift and throw a car with ease.

Level 5: Ilexa has reached the pinnacle of strength, she can lift a car that has another car on top of it. Ilexa gains three quarters of her sister's speed.

Level 6: Ilexa can unlink with her sister and link with another person. Additionally she can forgo a link, allowing her to utilize her maximum strength. When linked to another person, she loses 50% of her strength, going back to around level 4, at the gain of receiving 50% of the semblance the linked person has (Basically half of their level, rounded down). This is diminished over time and by the bond shared with the person. This scales up to at maximum their level 5, and she can get back to her level 6. The linked person loses two levels as well, gaining her half level equivalent (rounded down).

Level 7: Ilexa can fuse with Nina, doubling both of their limits, as well as their aura strength. The two of them share control, and must work in tandem in order to operate, though if conflict arises between the two of them, the fusion is broken. The fusion's name is Ilena.

Nina (Primarily the same as Ilexa, except speed instead of strength, I'll just say how fast she is)

Spoiler:

Level 1: Sets sprinting records

Level 2: Sets long distance records, and sets unfair sprinting times

Level 3: Hard to see, can only move in one direction though

Level 4: She outruns vehicles easily.

Level 5: She has reached the limit of her speed. Untrained eyes can't track her at her fastest, though she can't sustain the speeds.

Level 6: Same as Ilexa

Level 7: Same as Ilexa. She prefers the name Nixa though.

Gaige

Spoiler:

Level 1: Ability to summon a dragon's head to breathe a specific element based on dust of choice.
Red: Fire
Blue: Water
Green: Air
Yellow: Light/Electricity

Level 2: A stationary dragon appears and attacks that which gets near it. This dragon is sustained by consuming enemies, or Gaige's own aura. There is no "Light" dragon.
The following mixes is allowed
Red+Blue+Green dust makes Earth dragon
Blue+Green Makes Ice dragon
Blue+Red Makes Steam dragon

Level 3: An entire dragon is created, Gaige must remain in contact (either by being on top of it, or holding a "leash") with it to keep a supply of Aura, again, consumption of enemies will lengthen the duration. The dragon is roughly Ten feet from head to tail, and moves like a serpent. Gaige is easily able to sustain his level 2 version.

Level 4: Gaige no longer requires contact with dragon to sustain it. The energy strain on Gaige is significantly lower. Gaige can alternatively summon two level 2 dragons. Level 4 dragons increase to 14 feet in length.
The following mixes are available
Green+Yellow: Storm Dragon
Red+Blue+Green+Yellow: Shadow Dragon

Level 5: Gaige has access to effortlessly control 2 level 3 dragons. 4 level 2 dragons, or a more powerful level 5 dragon. Level 5 dragon is more energy efficient and stronger. Gaige is able to summon a "dustless" dragon based off his personal Aura.
Dustless Dragon: This dragon's power is based off Gaige's willpower, and eats away at his Aura. Although the most potentially powerful dragon he can summon, it can kill him if he isn't careful.

Level 6: Gaige can summon 3 level 4 dragons at once, his energy efficiency allowing him to maintain all three as if he were level 4 sustaining one dragon. The "Dustless" dragon is more powerful, and Gaige gains the ability of consumption, anything that the Dustless dragon consumes will be fuel for it's existence as well as providing Gaige with more Aura. Gaige can store an amount of consumed energy for later. There can only ever be one "Dustless" dragon, as it represents the will of Gaige and has a mind of its own.

Level 7: Gaige can turn his body over to the "Dustless" dragon, providing him with a significant increase to physical abilities and Aura reserves. When empowered, Gaige is capable of summoning four level 5 dragons easily. The downside to this state of being is that Gaige can lose his body to the "Dustless" dragon, and he also becomes incredibly hungry for power. Gaige's conflict with the "Dustless" dragon means that his physical body can be paralyzed if the two conflict over control.

Archer

Spoiler:

Level 1: Archer is able to shoot and retract small objects.

Level 2: Archer can infuse the objects with energy for more damage, as well as allowing him to use seemingly weak objects much stronger. He can infuse dust into the feathers to produce elemental dust effects. He can somewhat control the movement of one group at a time.

Level 3: Archer can control the movement of two groups of feathers. Additionally, the energy put into the objects is increased, making them hit harder. Archer's body becomes lighter, allowing him to move quicker as well as jump and fly better. Archer's body doesn't atrophy, and his muscles increase with heavy objects as if he were under normal gravity. (Meaning he gets more out of lifting less).

Level 4: Archer can control up to four separate groups of objects at a time. The size/weight of objects he can control is also increased, he can now control objects that weigh as much as a spoon. The heavier the object, the less of it he can control. Gravity's influence on Archer is yet again weakened, and he is able to jump higher, and fly for long distances. Archer has no control yet of this lowered weight, and must carry heavier objects to stay feeling like normal.

Level 5: Archer can effortlessly control up to ten groups of objects at a time. He no longer needs physical feathers, and can spawn feathers of pure energy, though these pure energy attacks are weaker and more intensive on his Aura supply. Archer's object weight tolerance control is moderately higher, he can now shoot out and retract something as heavy as his sword or a gun. Archer has a little control over the influence of gravity on him, allowing him to switch between lightweight and normal. This requires a small amount of aura and focus, and while he is sleeping or unconscious, he is nearly weightless.

Level 6: Archer is no longer restricted by the amount of objects he controls, he can move each feather independently of each other. Pure energy feathers are equivalent to physical ones that are empowered. He is more efficient in their energy use. Archer is entirely weightless while unconscious, and must be tied down to his bed in order to stay in it. He no longer needs wings to fly, but he does need them to control where he goes. He is able to now increase the influence of gravity on him as well, emulating up to 2 times the earth's pull on him, making him weigh 2 times as much. In addition to just focusing on it, the state can be forcibly induced by a certain quantity of Purple Gravity Dust. Taking certain amounts before bed will keep him from floating off, taking too much will greatly increase the strain put on Archer. When Gravity is increased, Archer's body can become stronger through training, meaning he can train under twice as much weight and when he goes back to normal, he will be significantly stronger. Archer can use dust to get himself used to higher and higher magnitudes of normal gravity.

Level 7: Archer has full control of gravity on himself. Additionally, he is able to affect the gravity of others around him, increasing or decreasing it. The sum of the gravity imposed upon his targets is also applied to Archer. (So if he has person A influenced by 1.7 times the normal gravity, and person B under 5 times the normal gravity, then Archer will be under 6.7 times the normal gravity). Energy feathers are more powerful than empowered objects, making empowered objects obsolete, though he is still capable of controlling them.

Ilexa

Spoiler:

Level 1: Ilexa has higher strength than normal. Additionally, she is linked with her sister, gaining a quarter of her speed, and the cost of losing a quarter of her strength (penalty diminished based on the bond shared with the person she is linked with). Ilexa and Nina's bond allows them to share instincts. Ilexa is easily able to lift just about anything a considerably strong human could with ease.

Level 3: Ilexa's strength and endurance further increases. Allowing her to fully lift a car above her head. She receives half of her sister's speed.

Level 4: Moar strength, moar endurance. Ilexa can lift and throw a car with ease.

Level 5: Ilexa has reached the pinnacle of strength, she can lift a car that has another car on top of it. Ilexa gains three quarters of her sister's speed.

Level 6: Ilexa can unlink with her sister and link with another person. Additionally she can forgo a link, allowing her to utilize her maximum strength. When linked to another person, she loses 50% of her strength, going back to around level 4, at the gain of receiving 50% of the semblance the linked person has (Basically half of their level, rounded down). This is diminished over time and by the bond shared with the person. This scales up to at maximum their level 5, and she can get back to her level 6. The linked person loses two levels as well, gaining her half level equivalent (rounded down).

Level 7: Ilexa can fuse with Nina, surpassing both of their limits. The two of them share control, and must work in tandem in order to operate, though if conflict arises between the two of them, the fusion is broken. The fusion's name is Ilena.

Nina (Primarily the same as Ilexa, except speed instead of strength, I'll just say how fast she is)

Spoiler:

Level 1: Sets sprinting records

Level 2: Sets long distance records, and sets unfair sprinting times

Level 3: Hard to see, can only move in one direction though

Level 4: She outruns vehicles easily.

Level 5: She has reached the limit of her speed. Untrained eyes can't track her at her fastest, though she can't sustain the speeds.

Level 6: Same as Ilexa

Level 7: Same as Ilexa. She prefers the name Nixa though.

I have to say that reading the level 7 semblances of characters is probably the most entertaining thing about these. You scale your abilities really well (I like how you give comparisons of what they can lift for I&N), though I do think you should tone up the twins' level 7, or at least explain what it does other than fuse them. Do they become practically super saiyans?

Other than that, super fun to read! I do hope this trend catches on and people write more of these ^^

 

[Junier]

I have the basic outline of my semblances' progression plotted out but it's pretty open to change at the moment. There's also that element of surprise that I don't want to spoil yet. I think semblance growth could be prone to change based on interaction and what situations my characters end up in, so I'd prefer to reveal semblance levels as my team and I moves along, rather than post everything in one go.

The main reason I posted mine was because there wasn't really all that surprising about any of it. Also, if I don't write it down, I'll prob forget most of it. I've left out several details of some abilities though, so there's the surprise in that well too.

So stop throwing shade nig
