Zelguis' Teaching Day
"We should start with aura. Aura is the power of the soul manifested to protect and arm us against the Grimm. Along with dust it is our only weapon against the Grimm. It also fuels and gives us the Semblance. Semblances are powers specific to the person. Some believe the semblance actually-." Zelguis stops.

"Are you even listening to me?"

"Yes." I replied. I was right now upside down doing a handstand. I then fell over.

Zelguis sighed and reluctantly said, "Alright time to unlock thee. Let us just hope you don't die." He walked over and pressed his right hand against my shoulder.

"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee."

Aura D100: 95+10(SS 1)=105 (Nat Crit!)

Suddenly of purple aura kaboomed causing Zelguis to-

Zelguis Defense D100: 43 + 50(PC) - 30(Nat Crit) = 63

be forced back a few steps causing the grass to be torn up and Zelguis groan with effort. "That was a ride."

"That's it for today Akane." Zelguis pants. "We sh-!"

He is interrupted by your semblance awakening.

1D4 Martial = 3
1D6 PC = 4
1D6 Learning = 5+3=8

[] Future Sight
"Do you believe in destinty?"

A/N: Nat Crits are wonderful aren't they?
 
[X] Future Sight
"Do you believe in destinty?"

Being a few steps ahead will be awesome in combat and out!

"My legacy won't be about the lives I took. But about the lives I healed."

Taking a life is easy.

Saving a life? Much more satisfying.

Yeah but if we know what's gonna happen then we can prevent others from getting hurt.

Or can we? *vsauce plays*

Depends on how finicky the future sight is.
 
So what do y'all think about stats? What should little Akane focus on? (Other than diplo)
Martial to command any army to become unstoppable?
Stewardship to make more wealth than imaginable?
Intrigue so no secrets escape our sight?
Learning so that we can make inventions that no one has ever seen?
Piety to become one with the world?
Or personal combat so we can rip anyone apart if words somehow fail to move them?

Not sure what high piety would mean, but those are my thoughts. All good paths!

Better to be safe than sorry if something bad happens to Akane's father.
You fool! It's a rite of passage that all main characters lose their parents before going on a life-changing journey to become the Chosen One!

[X] Power Amplifier

Future Sight makes more sense for the Time Stone, and there aren't options corresponding to all 6 Stones. Power Amplifier and Ranged Healing make more sense, given that Aura is directly connected to the Soul. So amplifying power or remote healing aren't doing anything completely disconnected from her aspect as Soul.

I think Piety upgrades Aura
 
@Deathvon: Why is Future Sight an option anyways? It isn't like Akane has meta-knowledge or prior familiarity with Remnant. Plus, she's the Soul Stone incarnate, so you think all the options would directly relate to souls. Amplifier and Healing clearly are superpowered versions of normal Aura applications, so they make obvious sense.

I'll be honest. I ran out of ideas way too quick...

Also, I wanted one RWBY quote.

Given Akane would technically have absolute domain over all things Soul-related, no reason she can't gain more "Semblances" later on. Though of other ideas, Life Sense could of been an option. Then there's Psychometry, with her gleaming information off stuff from the traces left by people's Souls and/or Aura.

Alternatively, could of had one option that referenced each of the other 5 Infinity Stones. Like Super Strength (Power), Portals like Raven (Space), Combat "Precognition" (Mind), and something Elemental for Reality.

[X] Future Sight

If we get this can we use Meta knowledge on the future?
 
The thematic disconnect is really my only problem with Future Sight. Though seeing as we're the Soul Stone, no way would Future Sight be as reliable or useful. If we were Time, then we legitimately would be peering into the future.

Sure "Time Flux" and "Alternate Timelines" would be a complication, but Time could easily readjust the Future Sight. For Soul/Akane, Future Sight sounds more like "mere" Super Prediction.

Past Vision would be easier to explain, as Akane reading a person's soul. Which actually would synergize well with a Diplomacy Build, being able to literally see into a person's soul...
