I get the feeling Creme can't select targets, at least not right now.
Give that man a prize!
... Wait, that's my job. Um.
Creme, at this point, has
very little control over her Semblance, to the point that it's pretty much up to a dice roll right now. Where she takes force from and where she directs any applied to her is, for the most part, completely random.
If she
really focuses, she can try to exclude people, ie, you or Lumen, but everything else is completely up to chance. Let's have an example, just to hammer the point in.
Creme gets hit by a Boarbatusk. Who takes the damage- her, her teammates, or another Grimm? Roll the die. She focuses on excluding one teammate, one she knows has been taking a beating so far- it doesn't matter, the die is rolled, a Grimm her teammate was fighting goes flying while the Boarbatusk does what Xanadu did, crumpling to the ground. She brings her hammer down on the faceplate, shattering it- another teammate finds their bullets suddenly don't work, which is unfortunate considering the Beowolf that just snapped at his arm.
Creme is a good tank
and cannon- the problem is that every time she
becomes that tank, there is every chance the people around her, on either side, could be hurt. Every time she uses her Semblance... it's like she's pointing a gun at the head of every person around her, and she doesn't know which trigger she's going to pull.
Or... she can take the hit. It'll mess her up, but at least the people around her won't get hurt, right?
... Right?
I can't help but wonder what would happen to mini-Moss if we Crash()-ed him while he was insidde a wall. Would it pause his ability? Would it be a one hit KO?
Step on a tomato- no, no, I'm kidding.
He's not intangible- the wall just gets out of his way. If Xanadu is the asshole who shoves people down in the street while he's running somewhere, Mini-Moss is the guy who somehow slips between every person without so much as jostling them. If you used Crash() on him while he's between walls, he's just going to stumble backwards and leave a hole in the wall. Which might be useful in its own right, mind.
Would examining Penny(with the transistor) gives us an idea how to give it a soul?
Lewd.
But no, nothing about Penny's physical state will tell you how she creates Aura. I'll give you this much and hope you come to a conclusion: The soul, immortal and endless, is a creation of philosophy above all else. Think philosophically, and you're halfway there.
Also on the soul tracing thing, would Jaune be alright doing it if he happened to run into someone that died by other causes instead of being killed by him?
Soul tracing...
really isn't all it's cracked up to be here.
The only reason it worked so well in the game was that 100% of the population of Cloudbank submitted to a census that documented their life choices in a way that meant the Transistor would be able to do that. Hell, Red's boy toy
not being on the census properly is what caused the Transistor to go haywire in the first place.
Besides, do you
really want to open that can of burgeoning god complex?
Finally didn't you say you were going to update the character sheet with Tech skills?
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I haven't been on my computer long enough to get around to it.
Quit micromanaging me.
@Prok Is it possible for us to build a spare Transistor? Perhaps as a backup in case something happens to the original.
That's the
entire point of Reboot(). As long as you have enough of the Transistor to fill your palm, you have enough processing power to use Reboot() and cheat it back into existence. Hell, walk into a computer store, you've got enough processing power for that.
Some may call this lenient- I call it giving you every chance to
not use Functions without your focus.
I imagine that the reason not everyone gets their aura unlocked is the same reason not everyone has weapons that need military training to use. Not much point to getting aura if people aren't going to actually train it.
Don't think the weaking thing is actually that long.
I'm pretty sure Pyrhha was pretty much in fighting shape not ten minutes after awakening Jaune's Aura in canon, but I can see why doing it
en masse outside of a school might be a strain on a Hunter.
