        perhaps you could change the heading? confusion seems to be
        coming from the generalized name, so it seems like this is the
        respective character's OVERALL aura ability, and not one they
        have learned/honed in on over time. its not their natural ability, so
        i think it would help to establish that, because it does seem like
        this would be describing how the characters use their base auras
        and not techniques they've gained based off of it. if that makes
        sense??? so, for example, calling it "Advanced Aura Technique(s)"
        might serve the idea better. i know something that a name change
        is super simple, but it might help for clarification purposes.

        i do agree with Viking's sentiment in that some of the students may
        have learned specific techniques outside of the school and before
        their more professional training, so the ranking system might need
        to be modified to create more diverse specifications? but then we
        run into the irritations of being too specific and leaving little room
        for personal definitions. plus, it very well could make characters too
        OP, as you are well aware. in these cases, i don't think those would
        count towards this because they are not trained in anyway and
        have come naturally in possibly unstructured environments. while
        aura is a natural thing, but the techniques aren't, and i'd assume
        anyone with enough training would be able to send a blast of aura
        at someone. so, since anyone outside of society or who snuck into
        the school wouldn't have that structured training, none of their
        possible skills would be applicable to this section. would that work?

        sorry i kind of started rambling! ;C and i'm only going to ramble more...

        so, i would suggest changing the title of the section to something
        like "Advanced Aura Techniques" and as for the levels themselves,
        we could have like... the actual techniques listed and what they do
        along with ITS level beside them, which might sound familiar lmao~

        because it seems like this was created for a character's specific
        skill, i think this might work. and we could place stipulations on it.
        so the first years wouldn't be able to list anything because, for
        instance, this skill set is only taught at academies. it can be learned
        outside of the school systems, but the skills are usually volatile or
        restrained. i'm not sure if any of this makes sense, or if it just makes
        it more confusing? sorry! i just want to help<33

        Advanced Aura Techniques: (This is not something that just everyone magically knows. As such, please name the technique and provide it an appropriate level based on your character's year and experience from this range: None/Novice/Amateur/Student/Average/Above-Average/Accomplished/Excellent/Superior/Master. This is not applicable to anything learned outside of an Academy. As a result, first years are not allowed to start out with Aura Control, as it is Advanced and training is only given once a student reaches a Huntsman Academy. Second years cannot have higher than "student" level. Keep in mind that having anything above Accomplished requires legitimate reasoning.)

        Advanced Aura Techniques:
        Projectiles- Level: Above-Average. With this technique, Qrow is able to forcefully project his aura at an opponent.

        THIS GOT LONG SORRY OMG

        EDIT: ITS GETTING LONGER OMG SORRY

        so, in addition, these skills can change over time. so that could
        have been qrow's initial skill level, but now its more like:

        Advanced Aura Techniques:
        Projectiles- Level: Superior. With this technique, Qrow is able to forcefully project his aura at an opponent. It can effectively be used as a secondary, or tertiary, weapon. He can send it nearly as far as he can see it and can control its course, even after sending the attack.

        or something that effect^

I'm honestly considering just dropping this whole thing and simply saying people can add stuff in strengths. It feels too much like something that's unnecessary and easily abused, and I hated the idea of it from the beginning. The most any student displayed at school anyway was that thing Ren and Fox do with their punches. That was all the aura stuff a student every displayed. So I'd just limit it to that and call it a day. Anyone with an adult character can put in their strengths section whether or not they're good at aura wonky ability stuff.

I'm not flat-out ignoring your suggestion, btw, it's just that all of this is a massive headache to try and figure out/balance.

I like it,but what would a valid reason for above accomplished even be?

        hm. i would almost want to argue that only maidens or Oz
        could have Master level stuff, but at the same time they're
        completely different on the scale, so they probably shouldn't
        be included in it? i'm not sure there.

        BUT to say someone was Excellent or Superior, i'm honestly
        not sure of any examples to give lol. we've only seen so little
        of it on the show, and i'm not sure if anyone in the RP would
        have skill levels that high (i'm just assuming on that, i know at
        least Yang wouldn't have anything in the above Accomplished
        range, not that i can think of at the moment). perhaps, say, if
        Qrow's aura burst could break Winter's glyphs, then it would
        be considered Superior? maybe? lmao sorry i can't be more
        definitive xD


Lol its fine,just trying to be an intellectual is all.Anyway my villain character is coming along nicely,PMed Ren some ability ideas that i'm waiting for comments on

She'll PM you about em. I'm not really the person to come to about profile stuff and approval. My job's separate and I can't really tell you what's right or wrong. XD

So far i've got two swords,one continuously using fire dust and the other using electricity and an axe mixing the swords,then maybe i'm entertaining the idea of a big ol shield with shotgun barrels on the top,then just maybe i found a good way to explain/make use of the spoopy monster head thing
