User blog:Takeshi kun21/Couple of Ideas

Okay first of all, I'd just like to say I've been brain dead in regards to creativity thanks to school and a whole bunch of essays. Hopefully with break almost here, I can get some free time to get those creative juices flowing, and get back to a few things such as my story for my main team. Anywho, right now I just feel like I need to think about a few things before putting them up, and am in need a little help.

Feedback requested, thanks!

Weapons
For my main team AMBR, things are going well so far, but right now I'm feeling a bit conflicted when it comes to weaponry. I've been thinking about doing an upgrade on Amy's and Blaine's weapons, to get them more in the action rather than assisting on the side lines, and only have a decent idea for Blaine; with him, I figure giving his pistols a standard transformation into twin daggers would be alright.

On the other hand with Amy, there's not much I can really do. I gave her those ring blades as weapons to make it seem like not everyone has to have a gun attachment to their weapon (like Jaune's of course). I've been thinking of giving her knives to sort of keep the same fighting style, but then that makes her a bit too much like her character of inspiration Cheria Barnes from Tales of Graces.

I really need input on that.

Character Ideas
I'm fine with my main team and antagonist team, but it doesn't hurt to think about more OCs. For starters I have Takeshi here, who's background states meeting a Huntress that pretty much teaches him everything she learned from her alma mater. I actually want to make her idea into an actual person; some sort of role model that he had a great admiration for.

Ideas for her:


 * Retractable wrist blades (think of Angel from Angel Beats).


 * Serious demeanor, has some fun once in a while

Then, there's another idea which I got today: a character named Lily Dunstan. I've got the basics of her personality, appearance, and background down in my head, but not sure what to exactly do for her weapon. I'd do a scythe, but there's Ruby and my friend who also has an OC with a scythe (I might go with an old idea and give her a glaive). Her Semblance: there's not really much I can think about since we don't know the exact potential of these abilities. Then there's her role, because I'll eventually add her in Team AMBR's story as well when that point comes in (might even replace a character of mine, because these two will actually be a bit similar).

Basic ideas so far for Lily:


 * For a semblance: knowledgable in healing (medicine if healing Semblances aren't viable) or Control of darkness (like a shadow manipulation-ish thing). I'm open for other suggestions.


 * Appearance is somewhat grim (as in dark color scheme not Grimm)


 * Personality is pessimistic, cheerful at certain occasions


 * History would be rather dark, which can be sensed by her clothing and nature.

Again feedback and suggestions would be nice. Thanks!
