Go ahead and have an OC named Viper with a poison related semblance. And her semblance literally makes her burn (no pun intended). Yang's name is part of the phrase for "sun" in Chinese. Your OC can have a semblance based on their name! These are actually rarer in the community (from what I've noticed, anyway).Įxamples of these can be found in the show, as Qrow has a passive semblance of bad luck (crows being a sign of misfortune). So I decided to make a little guide on what can be used to inspire a semblance! Enjoy! However, I've gotten better (I hope) at coming up with semblances from the time I started making OC's. I would see OC's that had semblances that weren't fully explained, not possible, or simply over-powered and there were those times when I was stuck at the semblance category. I've had lots of trouble with the "combat" section on my OC's, and semblances were one thing that I struggled on.


The semblance has to fit the character, yet has to stay inside the Semblance Guidelines.

Today, I'll be giving some tips on semblances.Ī semblance is probably one of the more difficult things for RWBY OC makers.
