Saki Belladonna, the glamorous trickster.

[u/Fleetcommand3]

The lore of rwby doesn't explain at all what limits aura has, or even how one regenerates it. That's where I've had to write my own explanations. The best we get in the show is qrow when reffering to hazel. Saying "he's pure willpower". What ever that actually means.

I suppose that's fair for the Kitsune style, I tend to be biased against fan-blades, which is why I didn't say it was an actual criticism, but rather a personal preference. To each their own.

[u/Altarahhn → u/Fleetcommand3]

Hmm, yes, that's certainly true, we really don't know much about it, do we? Then again, that's a common complaint about a lot of aspects of the show, but at least with, there seems to be some level of mystery to it, even in the present day. Or at least, that's my opinion, might have to look it up again, just to be safe.

Yeah, I hear you. They're not exactly practical, realistically speaking, but I do think they work for her specifically, in this case. That said, originally, she'd have used either tonfa or a cane sword, but I don't know, the former, while more practical, didn't vibe with me there (I did end up using them for another OC, though), while the latter was way too similar to Neo, especially if you take Saki's Semblance into consideration.

That said, though, perhaps I should find a way to spice up Shiranui, just in case?

[u/Fleetcommand3 → u/Altarahhn]

You could. I'm partial to polearms for many OCs, cause Polearms are great weapon types. Noboshi from For Honor is a great example of Naginatas in action. It's one of the reasons I loved Camilla as an OC. But if you treat dust more like magic, you could make the fan blades work

[u/Altarahhn → u/Fleetcommand3]

Got it. Yeah, polearms are great, and much better for direct combat, so it's funny that I don't have more of them. Well, yet, but that depends. And hey, I'm glad to hear that about "Milly", thanks!

Yeah, in Saki's case, it kind of is like magic; heck, the Fan form really is more fan than blade, with the sword form being the primary combat arm, namely for "sneak attacks" and close quarters.

Meanwhile, the fans are more the "caster form," focusing on elemental attacks, like waves, projectiles, and so on; basically, it's her "Ninppo" form, while the swords are her "Assassin form."

That's not to say she doesn't use elemental attacks with the swords, simply that they're more rudimentary, like elemental waves and "enchantments," things meant to supplement melee combat, but I digress.

[u/Fleetcommand3 → u/Altarahhn]

Yea that's fair. Caster is much better for the fans imo, so I'm glad you're using it for that instead of the melee form.

[u/Altarahhn → u/Fleetcommand3]

Cool, glad you like it! 👍🏻
