He would still be a hunter trainee, even without his semblance. Keep in mind that unlike the original wielder he isnt a civilian singer. Nothing is stopping him from just bashing things in between Turns() or jumping around like the superhuman he is.
If I was Jaune I would specialize in movement and defensive arts. Combines well with his semblance.
Turn() is OP enough as is.
The Transistor is also a 300-pound hunk of silicon and circuitry, and the solidity of Cloudbank's ground is something I would put up for debate, considering how...
malleable it was. I'm... not sure it's very usable as a weapon in its own right. Last I checked, supercomputers, while large, do not make great weapons if you want them to keep functioning as such.
Then again
most weapons in RWBY would
barely work, what with all the moving parts and the strain they get put under... eh, I ain't about double standards. You can use the Transistor as a bludgeon if you must, but it won't be terribly effective due to your lack of swordsmanship, and it'll complain the entire time.
You do have to remember that Jaune, while he does have a powerful Aura, and decent cardio due to lugging around a 300-pound supercomputer on his back all the time... really
hasn't trained like the average Hunter. He can't do all that flippy zippy
madness that people like Ruby and Blake get up to. While Turn() and Jaunt()
do pick up some of the slack, he's still mostly... artillery.
Ah, so we have an instant takeout move for when we use Turn(). Neat.
I like your optimism.
Two questions, First how does Jaune compare against other fellow students with Semblance and Transistor taken into account? Second how much potential does he have thanks to his semblance and potential upgrades for Transistor?
Well, considering you
warp reality through the power of code, Semblance wise, you're so ridiculously powerful it would honestly have some people in conniptions.
Application wise?
Mid-high-tier. Your reliance
on your Semblance and the Transistor as a focus for it has left you with a reputation for someone who can hit hard, but only in specific ways. Nobody knows the exact specifics of your Semblance bar your parents and Elaine, so you've been somewhat typecast as something of a one-trick pony. Which, one could argue, Semblances are, except that people learn to use those in a variety of ways, while your one-trick ponyness is the
result of your Semblance.
As for your potential, as you upgrade the Transistor and unlock new functions and download more RAM and learn to use it as an actual weapon instead of a glorified wand, you'll become more versatile and more useful in a fight without it. You're powerful enough, courtesy of Turn(), but you definitely have room to improve.
Then I thought about
one thing. Just one thing. One, tiny little detail that slipped my mind when I was making the list in the first place. The more I think about that one thing, the more I write this quest and the notes I need for it, the more I realise that I placed Transistor
way too high on the list.
... Too low.
Damn inverse correlations to hell and back.
Seriously though, the more I think about it, the more I realise that, if I open up certain avenues of research and progress to you... you could easily end up with the world's greatest deadman switch, and reach godhood getting there.
but seriously in a world of monsters that constantly form from negativity we need godhood for the good end.
