Like I said, this character is not for RPing. It's really a reference page for my self-insertion story, RWBY: Reckoning.

''If his aura is "nearly unlimited", then he shouldn't even need a weapon like the one you've given him. A sharpened stick would be plenty.''

No, it wouldn't. Darrel is from Earth, and the only real weapon he's wielded is an air rifle. Having a pair of crossbows stuck on his wrists, particularly as he's never handled a crossbow, or a sword before, is a little out of his element. He doesn't know how to use or take care of the weapons, besides a quick point-and-shoot, the transformation, and the occasional stab.

Therefore, if someone had a "nearly unlimited" supply of it, they'd essentially be "nearly" invulnurable and have a "nearly" unbreakable weapon with which they could whittle away their opponent's comparitively insignificant aura.

Just because Darrel had a "nearly unlimited" supply of Aura doesn't mean he can control it. Most of the actions he does with the Aura are reflex-oriented, or he does without knowledge of how he did it. The forcefield around Darrel is very weak, due to his weapons taking up most of it's power, for both keeping the weapon intact, and for the arrows. Realistically, the Aura is more in control of him, rather than him being in control of the Aura.

Furthermore, the idea of using one's aura as ammunition is far from practical, or even desirable, as that is literally permanently breaking off a piece of your soul to shoot at someone just because you don't want to bother with ammunition.

Alright, I get what you're saying. Basically, if, say, Yang had this weapon, she wouldn't last long after some time. But as stated before, Darrel is from Earth. As such, his presence sort of bends the rules a little bit.

Darrel's soul has a unique capability: it can regenerate, although it takes a varied amount of rest each time, depending on how much Aura he's used. Darrel doesn't bother with ammunition because he doesn't know what kind of arrows his Aura needs, if they need them at all.
