oh okay thanks for the clarification

If a sufficiently powerful sharp and powerful piercing or slashing attack can momentarily bypass Aura, that should be mention somewhere in the weakness section of the character’s profile or the Aura’s page
- 61,177
- 14,747
Why would that be a weakness? Thats just how AP and durability works

If a powerful piercing and slashing attack or an attack while being caught off-guard can let someone momentarily pierce through a person's aura without needing to break it, that seems good for people to know about
- 61,177
- 14,747
It has nothing to do with being on or off-guard, aura i a passive full body forcefield, and again that isnt a weakness, that is just how durability works. Thats like saying humans have a weakness to bullets

Aight, this is the next wave of stuff for the new CRT
- 2,165
- 2,354
Since you got Oz's profile accepted which already has Accelerated Development and Resistance to Possession on it, we can cross that off.
- 61,177
- 14,747
Would be good to just mention those in the next CRT but yeah, if need be i can also add those scans from Arrowfell for the accelerated development
- 61,177
- 14,747
In the meantime, is anyone able to get their hands on a copy of The Session? Ive seen snippets of it that imply some good feats but its in japanese
- 2,165

Alright. I cleaned up Oz and Salem's page structurally. Just need the scans for Resistance to Possession and Accelerated Development when we add them to the rest of the profiles. Also:
I went ahead and asked Maverick about this here, and apparently so long as you demonstrate you can use an ability you don't have to show it offensively to have it listed. So I removed Electricity Manipulation from the Likely tab.

So lets see...
*All characters having Accelerated Development (Training: Physical Statistics and Abilities)
This comes from a mix of the three training arcs that exist in the show thus far as well as the arrowfell scans i posted before:
*All characters gaining Awaken Power via evolving their Semblance
*The gods having likely Inorganic Physiology
Gonna have to ask Spinorr about these
*Aura granting Resistance to Possession
This comes from ice queendom iirc, just need a scan of it
*Auras Heat Resistance needs to be updated to account for them withstanding the temperature of lightning (as Lightning Dust is actual lightning, meaning it's as hot as it and Ren and multiple others survived getting hit by it without burn marks (Nora getting lightning scars is because she overcharged her Semblance and went so far her Aura broke after attacking once))
Already linked on Oz's profile, examples include the JNPR fight in the Vytal Festival, Hazel hitting people with lightning in the Haven battle, Sun shrugging off lightning in the Sea Feilong fight, Nora absorbing lightning in Atlas, etc.
Also should note the one semblance from After the Fall that can increase the temperature of the surrounding area to instantly turn sand into glass
*Star to possibly Universe level gods
Dont know where star comes from but universe comes from this
*Yang having Analytical Prediction, which has already had scans posted

Looks good. If you can get the scan for Possession we can start applying both the Resistance and Accelerated Development to the rest of the profiles.

Im not at home right now so if someone wants to find the scan from Ice Queendom then we can get this done quickly
- 2,165
- 2,354
Bout to head out soon myself. Do you know when you'll be back?
- 61,177
- 14,747
A few hours give or take
- 2,165
- 2,354
Alright. If anyone here can get the scan it'd be great. Otherwise you can get the scan when you get home?

I havent seen IQ yet so i wouldnt know where it is, i jus know someone brought it up recently
- 2,165
- 2,354
Makes sense. Also, have you watched IQ? If so are you able to find the scan for Possession Resistance?

This is going to be a weird question, but could somone calc base Winter blocking Ironwood's gun, but using the speed of a particle cannon instead? Lately, I've been thinking that him firing particle shots from his BFG makes more sense. I just want to see how that would affect the calc.

"Look, over there.” Velvet pointed.
“Yatsuhashi, I think we have a bead on Carmine and Gus. What do you make of this?” Coco said. She pointed to a funnel-shaped cloud of whirling sand moving ahead of the turtle, toward the Vacuo capital city on the horizon.
“Another storm?” Yatsuhashi said.
“Look closer,” Coco said, pointing to the heart of the cloud. Two dark spots were at the bottom of the dust devil.
“Is that them?” Yatsuhashi asked.
“Somehow Carmine can control the sand or create localized weather patterns,” Coco said.
“Bertilak can affect the temperature of the environment around him,” Fox said. “Maybe it’s something similar.”

Finally found the text for it

That'd be a laser not a particle weapon.
Particle weapons are close to the speed of light, but they don't move at exactly the speed of light.

What do you think about the sandstorm feat above?
- 2,165
- 2,354
Does anyone have this? I wanna apply both to the rest of the profiles instead of one at a time.
- 2,165
- 2,354
Alright. Apparently none of us have watched IQ, which is kind of weird. So until someone is able to provide the scan, I think its better to remove the Possession Resistance from Oz's profile and focus on adding Accelerated Development to the profiles as well as the other stuff. When we do get it, we can just add it back as it was accepted before.
- 61,177
- 14,747
ive got time, do you have a link to IQ?
- 61,177
- 14,747
Possession, not poison, and it comes from Team RWBY's aura fighting off the influence of the Nightmare
- 2,165
- 2,354
I'll DM you.

So I just realized, what is the Land of Darkness? The sky is always dark red and the weather never changes. We don’t even ever see the sun there. It’s the only place that does that. And we know it’s on Remnant since we saw Salem’s group travel there by airship. So what kind of ability would the God of Darkness use to do this?
- 61,177
- 14,747
Reality warping of some kind? Not sure really, its weird
- 61,177
- 14,747
Also weird question, should it be assumed that the Wizard has Long Memory or the emerald staff?
- 2,165
- 2,354
Yeah it is. Well it’s just an observation. Maybe we can think of adding it after doing the rest of the revisions.
Honestly better to assume neither. The cane he holds on the pic is vastly different in appearance to The Long Memory, unlike the King of Vale where it actually looks like it. And since its a cane and not a staff with a gem in it, it’s not his original either. Which is why I added the note at the end of Oz’s profile explaining it.
