IC

NAME: Weiss Schnee
AGE: 19
SUITABILITY:
CANON: RWBY
CANON POINT: Post-Volume 9, pre-epilogue

ABILITIES:

Aura - Described in the world of RWBY as the "manifestation of one's soul". It is a life force that runs through every living creature in Remnant. In video game terms, combined HP and MP.

Weiss can't be mortally injured until her Aura is depleted. If Weiss is cut or hit by something, it can affect her in two ways: 1) it deflects, like hitting a rock, or 2) she gets cut/bruised/etc, but she'll be able to regenerate as long as she has about 20% of her Aura or higher.

Semblance - It's a tangible projection of one's Aura. These are (almost) unique powers held by an individual. In Weiss’ case, her Semblance is called "Glyphs". It is known to be a hereditary sort of Semblance, versus most Semblances which are unique to each individual.

Glyphs are also unique in that there are so many kinds of Glyphs, therefore giving Weiss an array of tools at her disposal. Below are the various types of Glyphs that Weiss is able to create/summon:

Propulsion: These can be used as platforms or shields, or for manipulating trajectory. Step on a Glyph and she can send you flying over a long distance. They can also be summoned in a line and slide you on your way to the other side. Can also used to bind people (wink wink).

Time Dilation: Similar to the Haste spell in Final Fantasy. Anyone who is under a Time Dilation Glyph will be able to move double/triple their usual speed.

Summoning: Weiss is capable of summoning various avatars of foes she has defeated in the past. Her current arsenal includes: Arma Gigas (a giant suit of armour), a Boarbatusk (big oink oink), a Nevermore (giant birb), a Queen Lancer (giant bee), and smaller monsters. Any monster she summons will be colour white/grey/silver rather than their original colour scheme.

Other: Glyphs can be imbued with certain elements to create other types of Glyphs, but this is with the use of a power source called Dust. Examples would be to chuck fireballs or icicles from Glyphs, as well as other elemental-related materials. Dust is a magical resource though, so making Glyphs with the help of Dust won't be something that can be done unless she regains some rewards! But it may also be possible to make other types of Glyphs with other materials or with the help of other people. In which case, I'll plot with other players with regard to this.

Weiss is seemingly overpowered, but she does not have a lot of Aura and is a glass cannon. Once she uses it all up, she won't be able to use her Glyphs, and would need some time to recover to be able to use them again. She can however, control the size of her summons! Which might be best to limit to like, 12-feet tall or something so she doesn't knock pillars down or crash through floors or something because her Arma Gigas can get as big as three-storeys tall.

VICES:

Judgmental: Weiss has gotten a lot better now, but she's quick to decide on her opinion on certain things and oftentimes, they're on the haughty, better-than-you point of view.

Hypocrite: While not completely immoral, Weiss does expect certain people to act a certain way, but doesn't necessarily do the same thing. An example would be complaining about someone holding secrets from others, but she does it herself and isn't completely truthful with regard to certain things with her sister and her friends.

VIRTUES:

Loyal: Generally unfriendly, but is one of the biggest softies once she lets someone in. She's a good friend and will do whatever she can to make her friends happy, and will stick by them through thick and thin. She will, however, not be afraid to disagree with someone or tell them they're doing something wrong if it means it will put the other person on the right track.

Headstrong: She's not someone who allows other people to control her thoughts and her ideals. Once she's decided on something, she believes in it until the very end. Her goal in life is to bring back the honour of the Schnee family name, for example, and despite the reputation of the Schnees that have gone down the toilet, she's still determined to see it through.

SURVEY

▶ I REGULARLY MAKE NEW FRIENDS.
▷ 5. Weiss is not the friendliest. It is partly intentional because she is very picky with people she interacts with, but people don't really want to make friends with someone who's an elitist! Not to mention, she's been cooped up in her room for the past year, so she's barely interacted with people. And when she does, it's mostly to start an argument.

▶ SEEING OTHER PEOPLE CRY MAKES ME WANT TO CRY TOO.
▷ 3. Weiss isn't above shedding happy tears, especially when other people are very happy, as well. Sad crying isn't something she normally does in front of others, though, so she tends to have a rein on her emotions when it comes to awful situations.

▶ I OFTEN MAKE A BACKUP PLAN FOR A BACKUP PLAN.
▷ 1. Weiss is a perfectionist. To her, things shouldn't even need to get to the point of using the backup plan, but she does have it just in case. A backup plan for a backup plan is also natural, especially when other people are always out there to make her plans fall apart.

▶ I USUALLY STAY CALM, EVEN WHEN UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE.
▷ 2. She isn't one to charge at someone just because they're an enemy, even if she's already alone in the battlefield and all her friends have fallen. She's someone who thinks before acting majority of the time, only really letting loose and acting upon impulse if it means accomplishing her goal.

▶ I AM VERY SENTIMENTAL.
▷ 4. Not on the surface! Weiss doesn't like cheesy things and cheesy situations, but when something is important, she will hold it close to her heart forever. (And deny it when someone brings it up.)

▶ EVEN A SMALL MISTAKE CAN CAUSE ME TO DOUBT MY OVERALL ABILITIES AND KNOWLEDGE.
▷ 5. Weiss has made a lot of mistakes in the past, but these are instances she uses to make herself a better person. Moments of self-doubt are very rare, because she knows who she is and who she wants to be. Her father is someone who can easily manipulate her and make her doubt herself, however, but she's also someone who can get rid of the negative thoughts by herself.

▶ I AM MORE INCLINED TO FOLLOW MY HEAD THAN MY HEART.
▷ 4. Despite not being impulsive, once Weiss commits to something, she will make sure that she sees it through. Her heart convinces her head that this is the logical thing to do, so her head follows.

▶ I AM PRONE TO WORRYING THAT THINGS WILL TAKE A TURN FOR THE WORSE.
▷ 4. Weiss can be a pessimist, but she's not really the type of person to keep worrying about it. When there's a plan, of course it's made with the best possible outcome in mind, and she believes in that more.

▶ I ENJOY WATCHING PEOPLE ARGUE.
▷ 5. People raising their voices and shouting makes Weiss very, very uncomfortable. She shrinks and starts feeling scared and unsafe, and would instead try to diffuse the situation or run away than let it continue.

▶ I TEND TO AVOID DRAWING ATTENTION TO MYSELF.
▷ 4. Weiss is small, but she is very flashy and does things with so much flourish that it would draw attention to her whether she likes it or not.

▶ I OFTEN DO THINGS AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT.
▷ 5. Seriously speaking, Weiss is a nerd. She is the kind of person who has a schedule for the week planned a week before it even happens, and doing things at the last possible minute would feel like a crime for her. She is not a criminal.

▶ I FIND IT EASY TO EMPATHIZE WITH A PERSON WHOSE EXPERIENCES ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM MINE.
▷ 4. Weiss is not a very empathetic person, and has difficulty seeing the world in the eyes of another person. She's gotten better at being at least sensitive and sympathetic, but living in privilege for years has not blessed her with a lot of empathy.

▶ I BECOME BORED OR LOSE INTEREST WHEN THE DISCUSSION GETS HIGHLY THEORETICAL.
▷ 3. It will depend on the topic. Highly theoretical conversations about the usage of Dust would be something she is very interested in, but talking about theories with regard to video games or some other thing would bore her to death.

▶ I RARELY FEEL INSECURE.
▷ 1. She knows her skills and her capabilities. If she notices any flaws, it just means she has to work harder. She's not perfect (not yet), but she believes she's leagues better than some people out there.

▶ I AM STILL BOTHERED BY MISTAKES I MADE A LONG TIME AGO.
▷ 5. Weiss is quick to move on! Once she's recognised something as a mistake, she works on fixing it instead. Rather than be bothered by mistakes she's made a long time ago, she instead is more bothered if people bring it up, getting defensive and upset that people are still bothered by it. Please. She is a changed woman!
