Mostly all on you. But if there's ever a place to ask for ideas, it'd be here.

[Capta1n_Henry]

Sorry but, where would I ask for ideas?

[nathan67003]

Again, right here, in this very thread

[Capta1n_Henry]

Oh, I thought you meant somewhere in Character Creation, not here. My bad .

To everyone else that reads this, please help me find a semblance for this character

You could check out a few other RWBY boards see what they have to say. http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:441273 has a list of a couple dozen semblances or you could go through the already accepted characters here for inspiration. Giving the power wiki another once over probably wouldn't hurt either. Once you got a basic idea we can help you refine it a bit.

[Dr. Gustave]

Think about what your character truely is, deep down, and try to make a semblance based around that "idea". For example, my character, Malina, has a semblance that causes a dome of aura to shoot out from her in a concussive burst and knock anyone back. This was based around her trait of not wanting people to get to close to her (original idea, I know.) Meanwhile, Zabar has a semblance that lets him catch projectiles and launch them back because he has a habit of deflecting problems.

Or you could just go to http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Superpower_Wiki and find one that isn't too OP or make it so that one ISN't OP and use that.

But remember, when it comes to semblances, simple is better than complex and needing numerous measurements and temperatures and taking into account of the density of the air and blah, blah, blah.

I was browsing the Superpower Wiki and found these:

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Flowmotion

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Limiter_Removal

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Emotional_Form

Are these ok for the RPG? If so, which one do you think fits my character the best? I really like Flowmotion and Emotional Form but Limiter Removal also works as a suitable power. I'm also playing with the idea to be able to make a small bubble shield because Acero doesn't like to open up to people. I honestly don't know.

[nathan67003]

How 'bout you make drafts on your computer for semblance ideas, including the ones you linked? Try and develop each one, see how they turn out. You'll probably find one that fits best. And hey, you can always recycle unused ones into other characters

[Capta1n_Henry]

That's a good idea. Thank you guys for putting up with me

[nathan67003]

Trust me, you're far from being hard to put up with

[Capta1n_Henry]

Ok, I narrowed it down to two semblances that he could use.

1.

Spoiler: ShowHide

Aura Barrier -- Acero creates a bubble made of his own aura to protect himself and his allies. The diameter of this bubble can change depending on how many allies Acero needs to protect, ranging from 1 to 3 meters. Acero can deem whether or not someone is worthy to be let into the bubble by letting the bubble touch the person or things aura. Only beings with auras can be let into the bubble, so Grimm are automatically getting pushed away.

Acero is weak when in the bubble, as he has pushed his own aura away from his body to make the bubble. This leaves him vulnerable to deception, as anyone that he trusts--be them friend or foe--will always be let into the bubble. Acero can only keep the barrier up for 30 seconds, any longer than that and he'll start getting dizzy, get nosebleeds, and eventually pass out.

2.

Spoiler: ShowHide

Flowmotion -- Acero can fluidly move around on both land and air. This allows him to perform feats such as kicking off almost any surface, air dash, swinging around lampposts, grinding along rails, and battling enemies with speed and style. Basically using his environment to his advantage. Acero doesn’t move super fast, but he can keep up with speedier opponents (not Tyrian or Qrow kind of speed mind you) and outspeed and outmaneuver slower opponents.

Acero can only use his semblance when the terrain calls for it, meaning if he’s in an open field or desert, he loses a little maneuverability due to the loss of wall running/jumping, and can get overpowered by fast opponents due to his semblance excelling in tight places. It also takes a lot of accuracy and energy to pull off very complex maneuvers in a battle, which means if he messes up just a little, it could cost him. Due to having years of practice, he doesn’t have to worry about his accuracy or energy too much, but the threat of messing up or running out of steam is still constant while he fights. If Acero goes 100%, he can fight for about 3 minutes. If he goes 75%, he can fight for about 5 minutes and so on.

I can't pick

[nathan67003]

Hmm. They're definitely interesting, 'grats to you for fleshing them out.

Now, I'm slightly iffy about the second one since it allows pseudo-flight, even though it is limited. It may work well, but I'll leave the balancing to someone more... competent, than me

As for the first one, it seems neat, but you don't specifically talk about how the use of his semblance puts a strain on his body (a bit like stamina in games, I guess). Maybe look at that a bit.

All in all, both seem pretty good, but I honestly can't tell you about balancing because I've had several issues about such things in the past. I'd say you can wait here for another opinion as well as someone to suggest which semblance best fits your character, or coin flip and post your character in Creation with one semblance.

Good job.

[Capta1n_Henry]

Alright, I've stated how long he can keep the barrier up for. Thank you for the help!

[Capta1n_Henry]

All right, I'm gonna go with Flowmotion for the semblance because I think it compliments his melee only fighting style a lot better than the shield. I'll probably use the shield for another character. Now for the hard part, backstory. *sighs*

[Capta1n_Henry]

I wrote some backstory for the weapon. I probably should've started with the character history first but oh well
