Questionable Questing

Ya want lore and shit. Here's a question, what is Aura about?
With Naruto we have the ninja arts, the Samurai layering of Chakra, the Monk infusion of chakra into the body. Different designs for different uses of Chakra. For Aura, what is Aura about at its core? I once saw a RWBY CK quest where high level Aura gives a cool inner avatar form manifesting the divine light of the person's soul.

You know, aura should work like a persona. it's literally yourself made manifest. If you accept and love yourself it'll cooperate, if you don't it'll fight you. Emotional peace equals strength, emotional disturbance equals weakness. Throw in some Star Wars and Evangelion for good measure.

Aura can flow through objects that you are close to better than something you aren't. its why hunt mans custom build their weapons instead of using some mass produced military hardware. its why they have distinct costumes and outfits with different colors.

Holy shit I came to with a lore reason for RWBY's goofy outfits. I'm a genius!

Ah,
Evangelion how and Star wars how? And Bright vs dark auras? Adam with a dark Aura and while Ruby is bright? Bright and dark not being good or evil but how someone enhances their persona? Like light Aura is good at more protective measures and dark Aura is good at destructive?
Andy333

We'll using the Star Wars analogy, light is happy positive emotions, while dark is negative emotions. both can empower aura equally, since aura is about will power not the type of emotion behind it, but maybe constantly filling yourself with different emotions can have different effects on how your semblance works.

And I mentioned Evangelion since that's a show all about self acceptance, and the AT field the mech's and the angels use in that show is a reflection of someone soul.

There are two sides to anyone's Aura, the light and dark, oh that reflects the two gods. And people have different levels of skill with either of those sides. You want to build in smutty worldbuilding to this with Sexy corruption for either side of Aura use?

Will have to comeuppance with some stuff tomorrow. Right now I'm getting some sleepy time.

This is fun. Good starting work. The Fanus race play slave stuff is great fuel

Thoughts for later tonight:
Fannus are Grimm hybrids. They have superhuman physicals but also a more primal understanding of emotions and instincts. They are all predatory, even the ones based on herbivores. A natural warrior slave race. Faunus and human history begins with wild Faunus being domisticated and added to human households.

Aura has light and darkness to it and you see different beliefs on how much dark vs light Aura someone should cultivate and in what proportions to the other half. Higher Aura purity of either side has benefits but also drawbacks.
No silver eyed warriors. Just, no.
Andy333

I'm actually alright with the silver eyes. I think they could work, but it would be less Ozpin having superhuman babies, and more if you over come some serious trauma or have a journey of self discovery you can develop those powers. Make the it kind of like the self acculization Buddhism has, where you know and accept who you really are.
Andy333
Andy333
Make it to go along with the idea of your aura being more closely tied with your soul and your emotions. But anyway how was your day? Anything going on for this weekend?

Wait, fucking Ozpin having superhuman babies isn't fanon?
This shit is Canon? WHAT

Going to visit a friend saturday night and stay there till Tuesday morning. Finished Storm light book four and reading Emprie of the vampire book one. We have illustrations and they are fancy. We also have a half Vampries monster slayer telling his life story to a vampire historian as he waits to die.

Yep, Ozpin a few hundred or a few decades, the writers weren't specific, found a new girl to marry after Salem and their children had silver eyes. And Salem wants to kill them, not just because their a threat to her with their magic powers, but because its a reminder of Ozpin cheating on her.
Bob is bob
Bob is bob
Do you want Salem to be evil or no in this quest AU?
Bob is bob
Bob is bob
I was thinking you could have Salem and Ozpin fighting over the fate of Remeant for thousands of years, each thinking each other right. Salem wants to be god queen, Ozpin wants to remain in the shadows and give the illusion of not being the mastermind behind everything
Andy333

With Salem and Ozpin their just old at this point. They miss their kids. they miss their homes and their old world. God imagine having a favorite restaurant and you try to talk about it with someone and they look at you like your crazy, and you suddenly remember it's been closed for a couple decades now. the guy who ran it, who you were friends with, is dead.
