You're acting like he doesn't do that for everyone he meets.
More seriously, I think I've made my stance on romance in this quest clear. In case you missed the memo: if there is a bargepole long enough to even try and tempt me into trying it with Jaune, it just had an end burnt off in the sun and is thus immediately disqualified. At best, you get an interlude or two with Salem and Theodosia, but that's as far as I'm willing to go.
Look, let's just drop the whole thing for now, because it's not even relevant until I know who's actually going to Beacon.
Nope. Pure green.
THAT DON'T MEAN WILLPOWER HERE.

Ah, misundestood.
Anyone knows what the green does?
So much of anything is likely a very bad idea...
If it turns out to be rage/anger I am going to call him Hulk.

Red is rage. Well, rage, lust, drive, just any kind of hot-blooded emotion, really.
Green is... well, wild. Literally, that is the one word used to describe it in the first book.
I'll put it this way- if you listen really, really carefully, you can hear the tinkling of glass from the window Lumen's impulse control just threw itself out of. I'm not saying he's gonna turn on you because he's not thinking straight, but he's definitely going to have some problems knowing when to stop. It's not a berserk rage, exactly, he's just... stopped listening to that little voice that says "No! Don't do that!"
Not that it matters, because right now @PyrrosWarrior's vote is winning, and you're gonna be leading your half/three quarters blind teammates into the fray with the other half-blind schlubs.
You ever wondered what it's like to be the one-eyed man in the land of the blind? You're gonna find out at this rate.

B-but I don't want to change from Jaune's perspective, and if I change my vote that'll happen!
...
[X]... But nothing. Let the humiliation conga begin!
-[X] Jaunt on over there and use Turn() to surprise Saff. Break his guard so Lumen can knock him out fast. If he's still up, whack him with the Transistor. It can just man up and take it.
Edit: Apparently I can't do numbers.

Should point out that A) It seems like the QM is implying that being around Lumen at the moment is a bad idea due to him not having impulse control and B) The second closest winning vote does has us switching perspective and it's only at a one point different with the winning vote at 7 and the second one at 6 due to you switching making it a bit more likely for the switching POV option to win . Not saying that you shouldn't vote how you want just pointing these out.

A) Someone's gotta keep him from killing Saff or doing something stupid.
B) As I said, I apparently can't do numbers.
But I'd rather we control Lumen that let him rampage blindly.
Might change the vote later, depend on how things go.

[X] ... But Lumen's got this. You can go pick on the stragglers while they're still half-blind. And while half your team is half and three quarters-blind themselves. It'll be fun to watch them try, at least.
-[X] Find those with the weakest aura and start picking them off with your team while they are still recovering. You will personally start the attack by attacking the person with the weakest aura and the most isolated from everyone(to lower the chance of people interfering) else until their aura gets low enough to disqualify them then repeat the process while Creme and Ada will pick a target near you so that you can help if need or the reverse if you end up needing help. Attacks will consist of Jaunt, crash and Breach.

[X]... But you're not Jaune Arc. Jaune Arc's wearing his big boy pants. (Character Switches are only in place for as long as someone else doesn't win one)
-[X] You are Lumen Tessaro. Really, how the hell do you help yourself here?
I like Lumen, and I want to see more of him.

Pretty sure POV change only means we see things from said persons perspective rather than actually control them.

best bet for being able to stop him before he does something he would regret from the winning votes I think.

@Prok Question, What the fuck was Lumen thinking when he thought that using a power that removed impulse control in what is supposed to be just a test was a good idea? That's Saff level sheer stupidity right there.

Turns out, Saff had a point about Lumen.

Not sure Lumen had a choice. He probably absorbed so much light that he had to use it somehow.
@Prok, are you going to keep team CRDL in this quest? Their entire narrative purpose is to be douches to canon Jaune, who was too weak to really do anything, and that just isn't happening here.
(I'd ask if we can get rid of them and stick in Creme and Lumen, but hoo boy does RWBY already have character bloat.)

Hmmm, possible.
Character bloat? What are you talking about?
Most of them have no characters to begin with. Seriously, mentally swap them with black shadows and see how much difference it makes

Yep. As soon as I realized he was drafting it became pretty obvious that he was, in fact, mentally unstable. Or rather his semblance inflicts massive personality changes on him that come off as mental instability since he can go from cheerful and relaxed (yellow) to HULKLIFE420#YOLO (green) in less than a minute.
That's exactly what he means. RWBY has dozens of named and visually distinct characters of which maybe 15 actually matter in a given season and that's being generous.Character bloat? What are you talking about?

That's what I meant. I was asking a rhetorical question.
But 15 is being waaaay too generous. I don't know about you, but I didn't consider Yang to be a real character back in S1 and she's supposed to be one of the main 4.
Take anybody that isn't Ruby, Blake, Weiss, or Jaune, and replace them with blank mannequins. Does it really change much? I think not.

You get to control them for a while until people vote in favour of someone else, or until something happens with Jaune that requires your specific attention. However, you can vote to move back immediately after if you're just like "nah, don't like this".
Think of it like, er, like channel flipping.
No, but with how much he uses on a daily basis, really, he's not far off.
He didn't have a choice in the matter.
Lumen absorbs light through his eyes and skin, then splits it into the different luxins as he needs them. Being in complete darkness while using the luxin he'd already packed under his skin left his body looking for more light to make more luxin.
Essentially, his skin became one very dilated metaphysical iris, and then you turned the lights on. His body absorbed too much light, it had to get rid of it, red's flammable, sub-red is light by way of the Anarchist's Cookbook, blue would have just built him a coffin, yellow would have built him a coffin he can drown in, orange would have turned the entire battlefield into one big slip and slide...
Green was the only one that wouldn't hurt him, or you, and be useful in the medium-term.
One of the first things done by a novice drafter in the books when they drafted green luxin for the first time, they essentially made a beach ball out of it, and launched it into the head of a passing governor. It disoriented him, it annoyed the hell out of him, but he was unharmed, if not unruffled.
Once he was yelled at, however, he came back off his high. The changes to personality are temporary without constant use, and above all, they are fragile. If they had any kind of staying power, he wouldn't be any kind of functioning human being.
Seriously though, chillax, it's too early for me to be fucking you all over like that.
I'm leaving that for the

That's not my vote. I didn't make it. I changed to it because I don't want the "change pov" vote winning. I would really prefer the "dealing with Moss" option.
