Bloody Evolution (RWBY / LoR)

What 'kind of things' do you mean here, out of curiousity?

Aura in general, she is the only one of all the names I gave without a formal education, so she probably is the one with the least actual knowledge on awakening it and using it, she don't know her semblance, right? All the others do, this probably inform them on themselves which I don't think would hurt if they got attacked mentally.

Unless she spent the last two years awakening Orphans aura herself? Despite showing no signs of seeming to know how when we tried on ourself?

She did not. Either way, I am merely drawing out some discussion here for others to consider as they vote. I can not argue in her favour or against without rebuking or confirming matters that are not yet apparent. You are not wrong. At the same time, I personally feel one should never just tally up one side of the argument.

wasn't there a thing last chapter saying anyone can awake aura
Correct. Ash can do the thing without any trouble. It is not a skill that needs real training.

Out of a normal human, the problem is that there can be complications since Love isn't, as such, I am not afraid she would flub trying it, I'm afraid she could flub if it doesn't go normally, she don't know her aura as well as the other choices, if Love involuntarily tries to leech it, or she suffers a mental attack against it, or something, the others know how to fight, know how their aura feels like IN a fight, knows their semblances and as such have a better understanding of themself...

It would be Ash's first aura awakening, I would prefer if we don't try teaching her to swim by launching her out at sea and telling her to reach the coast, if you see what I mean. If this one works and there are no complication, then, sure, have her train on doing it to the other sisters... Well, maybe not Saffron, I have a feeling she'd want her girlfriend to do it.
 

Are you sure you want to ask Ash? We have quite a lot of candidates to do it with before thinking about her, she is the most likely to have a bad reaction if it goes badly due to the nature of abnormalities due to her lack of education, here, I have the names I gave earlier: Yang, Nora, Ren, Weiss, Cardin, Pyrrha, Militia, Melanie, Junior, Taiyang or Ruby.

That's enough choice to not have to think of the girl who don't know her semblance yet, no?
 
[X] Ash
I'm picking an option that will guaranteed be interesting. I wouldn't mind one of the adults because they have more going for their personality and history, but I don't really know what will happen regardless. So I'm left with following the plot thread about Ash's melody.

It is far from guaranteed to be interesting.

Ok, since people really want Ash for some reasons, let me put my analysis of what scenario we have for her doing it:

-Best case scenario: Ash do have some special interactions with the abnormalities, great, except we can, you know, have her do the aura awakening AFTER checking if it creates problems, it's not like there are three other sisters or anything...

-Most likely cases: She just unlock their auras, same result as if we ask everyone else. Or, the abnos' auras can't be unlocked normally and require some effort, in which case going for someone with actual experience in doing it is more likely to help than asking the civilian doing her first job. Could also simply be impossible to unlock their aura, in which case who we got doesn't matter anyway, so might as well prepare for the others.

-Worst cases (not that probable, but you never know): The awakening is actually dangerous, now, if it ask for a battle via souls, we might want a professional to do it so that they can mitigate the effects better, instead of, you know, the civilian with no experience.

Absolute worst case (very, very low proba, almost inexistent but included for the sake of completeness): This was an horrible idea in the first place and result in an insta-kill, in this scenario, who do you want to lose, the important character or the extra we got just for this? Because I doubt the voters would be happy if it was the important character, which means that asking Roman for a pawn is just a guarantee against big losses, not likely ones, but we can prepare for it, might as well, it costs us nothing.

Most of these don't benefit from having Ash do it and the only one that does can simply be done later.

I don't wanna risk ash but this is too interesting not to pass up, also i'm 50% sure won't straight up die, maybe she'll become a bit Abno'y though.

[X] Ash
 
Meddling with abnos souls will very much possibly be like Ingesting raw cogito.
It won't go well, and there's a high possibility that someone will die by the end of it.
Although we actually don't know about the souls, don't you think trying to fuck with the things that is possibly connecting to human unconsciousness as a whole is pretty bad?
Best case scenario, nothing goes wrong, possibly some sort of mental overload, but that's it. We can fix that.
Worst case scenario, her fucking head explodes.
Remember, we have saw someone trying to connect with human consciousness and failed and die miserably because of it, look at Elijah.
 
[X] Ask Roman for someone expendable to unlock aura for us.

Not interested in risking Ash without knowing what this'll do to the activator.

Checking the votes...I can't believe that this vote is somehow contested like this...Why the hell are all yall playing so dangerously with Abnormality? Just let someone unimportant to it for us seriously.
 
If you guys really want ash to experience
connecting with a abnos soul, at least this time we get a clerk to do it and make sure that it is not death on interaction.
 
sigh

why this is a contested vote
Why the hell are all yall playing so dangerously with Abnormality?

I don't get it either, some seems to think it will be sure to be interesting and don't seems to take into account it's most likely to be !!interesting!! instead, people think my only goal is splitting the vote when I offer the several choices that reduce the risk if they really don't want to ask an expendable….

It feels as if the thrill of gambling took some and they forgot that if it is legal to stack the deck, there's no reason not to.

(Note for those who aren't familiar with dwarf fortress: something being written like this, !!thing!!, is an indication that said thing is on fire)
 
Another thing to note is.

ASH LOOKS REALLY GODDAMN SIMILAR TO ANGELICA.

YOU BETTER FREAKING PROTECT HER WITH YOUR GODDAMN LIFE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERES 4 GODDAMN SHARDS OF SORROW LITERALLY LIVING IN THE SAME HOUSE AS HER.
 
why ash?
if you guys want that kind of interesting, go with ruby, she could be even more interesting, especially if she dies, because at that point we will lose our only reliable way to kill Salem and the future becomes even more unpredictable.
Don't accidentally killed my mini Angelica when you can go for the main character of the show.
Also count the bird, thats five shards of agony in town!
Do you want to fight five buffed black silence at once?! at that point, even an arbiter cannot deal with them!
Consider the risk, we don't know unlocking aura or even interacting of the soul of abnormality is like, we need to be careful!

Well, the vote seems to have stabilized into something more reasonable, still boggle my mind that the runner up is Ash, but she's got half as much votes as the expendable, should be good.

Still don't quite get why Ash, I would understand if Ruby, Yang or Pyrrha won, Taiyang is an experienced hunter so is a good alternate if you think it's dangerous, but Ash?
 
I think that we are playing a slightly evil character, and we have a missable orphan on hand that we could experiment with.

But I forgot about Taiyangs existence. We have already planted a seed for conflict with Yang, how about we give that seed a bit of water.

[X] Ask Taiyang, Rubies dad.
-[X] Explain that she has a non-standard soul. And that you'd rather have someone with experience do it.
