At this, Jace walked into the firing range, a small grin on his face after witnessing Cumin's antics. "Aura acts as a kind of force field around us." He explained. "It protects us from attacks that would generally pierce our skin, and helps dull blunt force trauma, though not completely. It also allows us to do this," he trailed off, removing his left-hand glove.

"I generally don't show this, but as I'm hoping we won't be here too long, I'll let you in on it. Can you keep a secret?" He directed the last question at Cumin, somewhat jokingly. He clenched his fist, and suddenly his skin hardened into smooth gray stone. "We call these our Semblance. They're special abilities that are unique to every individual, and they're powered by our Aura. And as for why you guys have none," he said, slipping his glove back on as his skin returned to normal, "I have no idea. Aura is the manifestation of our souls where we come from, though it requires training to unlock, so everyone has the potential to get it. Maybe you guys just don't have souls," he finished deadpan. He turned to Cumin.

"And I don't think I got your name, miss. In fact, I don't really know anyone here. I'd seen Dr. Robotnik around some, and the loud guy has a bit of a reputation. But I'm not sure we're acquainted." He extended a hand. "I'm Jaescon Palderas. You can call me Jace."
