Seeing as we just opened, we won't be doing any Monthly Awards; however, we hope to vote for these in the last week of March.
In the original RWBY series, Aura is the manifestation of a person's soul. Here on Into the Vale, we tweaked the concept a bit to include Atronachs; however, one aspect we are keeping is Semblance.
Semblance is a single ability that each hunter has that they can use as a defense mechanism. A person's Semblance often matches their personality or fighting style. Each and every hunter must discover their Semblance and learn to master it.
Here are some examples of Semblance...
Having increased stamina that would allow the user to take more hits than a normal person
Healing abilities - though, of course, these will often be minor and can cause stress on the hunter
Being able to create small barriers that may last for a couple seconds to block incoming attacks
Creating a shadow puppet that lasts for about one second and then vanishes while the real hunter is able to move undetected
Allows the user to temporarily take incoming damage and turn it into raw power
