Slivers Adrift in Infinity [MTG/RWBY]

It should be noted, the vote bot I'm using won't catch different subvotes, if there's a variety. As it is now, I can catch those mnually, but in the future those should probably be registered as their own votes.
 
[x] Oh, sorry, I wasn't aware that anyone else used mana.
-[x] Answer any other questions, but don't volunteer other information. Do volunteer that you use mana to make babies, who will always be smaller than you.
[X] Aura Sliver - You can spend aura to reinforce the Aura of other slivers at a 1-1 ratio, and can awaken the Aura of other slivers 20% cheaper, and may do so at range. You'll still need to build up your Aura a lot first, and will still need to learn how to awaken auras, though that knowledge will come much easier to you.
 
Would those subvotes be caught if the primary vote had "plan" on the end, like in your voting instruction example?

[X] Aura Sliver - You can spend aura to reinforce the Aura of other slivers at a 1-1 ratio, and can awaken the Aura of other slivers 20% cheaper, and may do so at range. You'll still need to build up your Aura a lot first, and will still need to learn how to awaken auras, though that knowledge will come much easier to you.

An advantage of this people seem to be dismissing is the fact that we can use bursts of aura to save the lives of our more valuable slivers at range. It can be like Bolster from the game.

[] Advantageous Ground - You can imbue your aura into an area in order to gain a vast array of small advantages that give help out you and your allies, and make life difficult for your enemies. very expensive in terms of Aura, but the area is pretty hefty, and the bonuses add up.
When this says "add up" does that imply we can Imbue Area With Aura multiple times to stack the effects until "small advantages" turn into "overwhelming advantages"? Also, what's the duration; is this like Enchant Hive where it's like building something that must be broken intentionally, or more like a combat buff?

If someone comes up with a more interesting and appropriate semblance, I will probably vote for that, though. Like perhaps a semblance that lets us temporarily give people minor links to the hivenet, and extends that network radically? We're basically a learning and diplomacy sliver, by sliver standards.

[X] Advantageous Ground.

"Do you have something you'd like to tell me, Drei?"
[X] "Yes! I've discovered my semblance. I can claim and imbue areas with power. It will help my allies and hurt my enemies. It's a pretty large area too."

It means that it gives a number of small bonuses: + to hit, + to dodge, + to damage, - to damage taken, etc, etc. individually, these are all almost imperceptible, but all together they means that you'll have a significant advantage in the battle, especially as they apply to all your allies and penalize all your enemies, too. y\You can stack the effect if you like, but it only lasts a few hours and you can scale the effect in the first place, so you'd probably start off a fight by dumping as much aura as you care to into the effect, and then fight on normally.

On the resource Document, you have the mana well beneath beacon labelled (W/U)(W/U). Does this mean that we get 2 mana of either white or blue, or something else?
 
On a funny note, we are now effectively 11/10, which in terms of MTG puts us on par, stat wise, with some of the biggest monsters, giant robots, and Ulamog, the least powerful of the eldrazi titans, although we lack the abilities which are a huge part of why many of those cards are so powerful.

Slivers are a sapient species not monsters. Having a people that would make defending villages from Grimm and bandits would be a godsend for Remnant, especially with area control. Sure there may be some issues at first but once we get some good PR it should be a lot easier to bargain with the kingdom about these sort of things. That's part of why I really want Ozpin as an ally and not give him reason to be suspicious of us.

I dont think that how it would work. There was and still is a lot of racism towards fauna even before the wars and white fang. I dont really think people will really like us when we look even more like beasts. When i understand it right some of us arent that intelligent to begin with, which would also make people really distrusting of us.

Wouldnt that still mean that we should simply be able to wreck shit physically? Maybe thats just me but i dont think that those numbers would mean that we loose half the time against ruby. How did yoj actually get those numbers. Not saying you're wrong just wondering if i missed something.

I looked up a database of the cards, and basically summarized what the various 10/10 creatures were like.

He added up the stats. And losing half the time against Ruby is in part due to it being a training fight, which handicaps you more than her, and part due to her having an ability that moderately counters you. And yeah, physically you're pretty damn strong now. Most Grimm are monstrously strong too, though...

Well we are pretty new to this world and we haven't pissed anyone off. There might be issues but we are going to work on that anyway.
 
[X] Not really. Was there something in particular you wanted to know?

[X] Aura Sliver - You can spend aura to reinforce the Aura of other slivers at a 1-1 ratio, and can awaken the Aura of other slivers 20% cheaper, and may do so at range. You'll still need to build up your Aura a lot first, and will still need to learn how to awaken auras, though that knowledge will come much easier to you.
