[font color="7bddd5"][b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Accustomed to receiving hits in response to giving them, Ruqa has a better constitution to deal with any hits that land. Generally will use her arms to block attacks to reduce the overall damage to her aura.
Requesting a change to Ruqa's skill description.
Old Skill:
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Cat Burglar
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] F
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Finding just how advantagous having four limbs could be, Ruqa is incredibly adept at stealthily climbing rough terrain. The additional limbs may be extended outward for balance and find hand holds with alarming speed and precision. Can scale walls, hang from ceilings, with ease but cannot climb sheer surfaces. History of use include sneaking into the private apartment of an ex-girlfriend for a surprise, an ex shortly after the previously mentioned act.
New Skill:
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Track and Field Star (Acrobatics)
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] F
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Before and after Ruqa received her cybernetics she had a passion for sport, performing decently well in track and field events like long jump and pole vaulting. Prowess in sport has spread to her impressive gymnastic flexibility and enthusiasm at doing crazy stunts as a huntress. Subsequently has an improved maneuvering ability and can wall run or climb hazardous terrain at the same level as an average first year.

Requesting the spending of 625 XP to upgrade weapon: Mantis Brachius from rank F to Rank E

[font color="7bddd5"][b]Description of Weapons(s):[/b][/font] In lieu of arms of skin and bone, she is outfitted with four metalic grey cybernetic arms. The arms are sturdy and lithe and each hand has three digits capable of fine motor tasks.

[font color="7bddd5"][b]Description of Weapons(s):[/b][/font] Ruqa is outfitted with four silver-lined cybernetic arms incorporated into her shoulders and even replace parts of her skeleton such as her scapula and clavicle and parts of her spine. This intense augmentation is costly and is only possible due to her relationship with her brother who produces cybernetics for hunters and military. Each appendage is modelled like a real human arm with similar muscle attachment points and skeletal structure along the shoulder and elbows. The organic design stops at the wrist where more mechanical looking hands are attached which each have five fingers that are capable of major and minor motor tasks. Each pair of arms is considered a "set" and operate independently of each other. Often Ruqa will "multitask" with each of her arms but can become confused if she attempts to react to multiple targets. A freakish choice for a weapon, it shows her commitment to becoming a huntress and her willingness to transform into something utterly unrecognisable.
Also wanted to do some application clean-up. Ruqa turned 19 last November so details changed for accuracy.

Request the spending of 75xp to upgrade Ice Dust Skill from G (unranked) to Rank F
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Fist-Full of Liquid Nitrogen (Ice Dust || Damage)
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] F
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] For some reason, it feels like it just got a lot colder... Fist-Full of Liquid Nitrogen is Ruqa's newest skill that gives her the power of ice dust to deal damage! When Ruqa activates her semblance it activates ice dust reserves within her arms, causing her prosthesis to rapidly cool. Those hit with this skill take cold damage equal to the skill rank. What was an early form of machine coolant became an additional weapon to her personal arsenal. Ice Dust does F rank damage to a singe opponent and there is a total of two charges of ice dust after which Ruqa cannot use this skill until she obtains more ice dust
Requesting to use my skill upgrade on Mixed Martial Arts to upgrade from Rank F to Rank E. I think you mentioned that first years get an upgrade although I'm not certain if I understood it correctly. Assuming F > E and nothing else.
Old [font color="7bddd5"][b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Mixed Martial Arts
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] F
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] The addition of unfamiliar artificial limbs necessitated learning an entirely unique style of fighting. She picked up the hand-to-hand style of Mistrallian fighters as well as techniques from Atlessian fighters that dealt with unusual prosthesis. Typical use focuses on grappling where her hand(s) lunge out to grasp the opponent either for positioning or to keep them off balance to control the fight and using her fists to deal the most damage. History of use include a time when she grapped the antlers of a reindeer faunus with one hand and punched them six times with the three remaining fists.
New [font color="7bddd5"][b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Celestial Impact (Martial Arts)
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] E
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Ruqa has grown more comfortable with her personal fighting style which is uniquely hers. Characterized by grapples and brute fists, Ruqa dominates the fight and uses her four arms and her strength to control her oponents in melee. While Ruqa is quick to get angry her fighting style is a lot more tempered as of recent. That is to say, there is a lot less wildly swinging her arms around and more intentional movement. Having gone through nearly a complete year of Haven combat training she has excelled beyond her origins as a street fighter, being more composed and fulfilling the image of a emerging huntress. She better knows when to pull a punch and when to commit to a devastating attack. A combination of efficient bioengineering and genuine talent, Ruqa's fighting style is starting to become something out of this world.

The second upgrade is denied, because all "free" upgrades are a result of non-event participation and specifically state requirements in announcements, including the requirement to link to the announcement.
Requesting that Ruqa Reyes' Application profile be updated. I just rewrote Ruqa's info and stats into the new template instead of frankensteining it into the old one to make it simpler for everyone. In summary added "Vitals" information and also rewrote parts of Backstory Freeform. Will change it back if the changes are unacceptable.

[b]One Sentence Summary of Semblance:[/b] Kinetic Helix is a physical boost type semblance that when activated gives Ruqa enhanced speed and strength.
[b]Description of Semblance:[/b] Her aura manifests as four glowing bands that spiral around her arms. The bands physically push her arms into their intended position from withdrawn fist to extended punch. The force of the bands supplement the power of the mechanical motions of her cybernetic arms. Ruqa gains E rank Strength and Speed during the duration of her semblance.

[b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b] Punch Em Up Style! (Mixed Martial Arts) [b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b] F [b]Category:[/b] Combatants [b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b] Arms outstreched and charging ever closer, you can tell that Ruqa's not coming in for a hug. Ruqa makes sure to be an unpredictable force on the battlefield although her combat instructers might just say she simply lacks technique. Either way, her style always adapting and changing with every fight as she grows more comfortable fighting with her prosthesis.
[b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b] Throw Your Weight Around (Strength) [b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b] F [b]Category:[/b] Combatants [b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b] Those familar with Ruqa know that she a very strong person, aided by her mechanical arms which make sure that her opponents also know exactly strong she is too, mainly from how much pain they are in. Capable of lifting up to 90-100kg, Ruqa can push enemies around and grapple with them to cause additional melee damage. This skill uses Mixed Martial Arts for accuracy.
[b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b] Fists Of Cold Fire (Ice Dust || Damage) [b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b] F [b]Category:[/b] Combatants [b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b] Ruqa is a bit of a hot-head but in the middle of combat she can keep her cool and make her enemies freeze in their place! This skill gives Ruqa the ability to deal melee damage with ice dust. If she activates her semblance and closes her fists tight, her prosthetics activate the dust to form ice cold spikes along her knuckles to give her punches some extra moxie. Every superpowered punch that lands forms frost on her target who takes cold damage equal to the skill rank. This skill uses her semblance rank for accuracy. Ice Dust does F rank damage to a singe opponent and there is a total of two charges of ice dust after which Ruqa cannot use this skill until she obtains more ice dust.
[b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b] Catastrophe Messenger (Acrobatics) [b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b] F [b]Category:[/b] Obstacle [b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b] Ruqa's experience in increasingly dangerous environments has challenged her to become more dexterious on the battlefield and to be increasingly quick on her feet amidsts a chaotic environment. Subsequently, Ruqa is confident in traversing hazardous terrain whether jumping around tight urban spaces or climbing up the side of a mountain. Ruqa has an improved maneuvering ability and can wall run or climb hazardous terrain at the same level as an average first year.
[b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b] Hard as Nails (Durability) [b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b] F [b]Category:[/b] Hazard [b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b] What is there to say, Ruqa knows that in the middle of a fight you gotta be prepared to take some hits. While Ruqa would gladly tell you that the best defense is a good offense, the huntress still wants to have some descent protection when she does inevitably take a hit. Additional padding along her arms as well as knowing when to stay on the backfoot is an increasingly important part of her fighting strategy.
[b]Primary Drive:[/b] If sat down in front of a career guidance counciller and asked to describe where she could see herself in 10 years, Ruqa would struggle to answer such a simple question. For the sake of getting it over with, Ruqa might just say she just wants to become the best huntress she can be but it wouldn't be a very satisfying answer. In truth, Ruqa has a hard time imagining ever imagine growing older then she already is. Call it the naivety of youth thinking it will last forever but she never expected herself to live past her teenage years. She had been sure that something bad would have happened to her by now, by chance or fate, but it is a pleasant surprise to see that she has escaped an early death and a confirmation that she is, in her own way doing alright.
She can probably just keep fighting and doing the huntress gig for the rest of her life. And if she has the choice, head towards whatever is interesting and move away from whatever is boring. That is what living is like, right? Go to your next class, go on the next mission, pass Go and collect $200, forever.
Ruqa hopes that one day she can find something that really catches her interest. Something that excites her so much that she would never want to leave. Or at the very least, something she would want to return to.
[b]Fears:[/b] Ruqa is well aware that she is not a good person but it would be awfully annoying to realize that other people know it too.
She isn't particularly heroic which is a fact that a better person might feel shame in but Ruqa is confident enough to know where she stands. What Ruqa does fear are the expectations and perceptions others have of her. The fact is that Ruqa has done well to impress others on her abilities and has earned herself a reputation as a strong, reliable huntress in training. But that won't last long. Once they spend enough time around her Ruqa feels that people will eventually realize that she's a godawful example of a huntress, doesn't fight as well as she says she does, and is a shit ally to have in truth. Someday, she'll say something dumb or mean and suddenly people don't want to be around her anymore.
If people are going to eventually become disappointed in her then what's the point of playing nice? Either she works herself to the bone doing some self-improvement shit to become the huntress that everyone seems to want her to be... Or she can go ahead and show everyone how big of a disappointment she can be.
[b]Style of Self-Expression:[/b] The young huntress has often been heard, quite loudly, telling the other girls in Haven to show off that "huntress fire" that she claims to see inside them. To Ruqa, being a huntress is all about spirit and willpower and being a force of nature that won't let anything stand in it's way.
Ruqa is an in-your-face kinda gal with a devil-may-care attitude and carries herself with a confidence and energy hard to match. She enjoys meeting new people and can be very amicable as long as people don't get on her nerves. Otherwise, Ruqa is content to be a free spirit and follows whatever is currently the most exciting thing around her.
During her time at Haven Academy she just wants to have fun, try not to take life too seriously and wishes to act however she likes without worrying about the consequences. She will give any situation the respect she believes it deserves but this often can be interpreted as being disengenous. She does her best to be an optimist in all situations but she is still prone to moments of cynicism.
Some people find her to be rude and abrasive as Ruqa has a bit of a sharp tounge and will call people out for being idiots and daring others to prove her wrong. She can be infuriatingly smug if she ever gains the advantage, wearing a sly smirk on her face in front of both friends and enemies.
[b]Most Important Thing:[/b] Although Ruqa thinks of herself as an independant person she does want to be the kind of person her friends can rely on. To be the person others go for help but never seems to show any vulnerability. It is fine, even expected for friends to be dependant on each other but Ruqa holds herself to a higher standard and hates the idea of becoming someone's burden. If she breaks a leg she would rather walk it off than to lean on someone else and if she was outnumbered and needed backup she would downplay the danger if anyone asked her. If she does come to the point where she is so far weak and useless that she must ask for help she hopes that they don't make a big deal out of it.
Ruqa is very much a prideful person and won't stand any insults at her character whether they are true or not. Evidently she does cares about what other people think of her though her responses to any attacks on her pride will only further serve to spread rumours about her own hostility. There are very few that can get away with insulting Ruqa to her face and even fewer that can force an appology out of her.
Lastly, it is very important to Ruqa that she believes herself to have done her best. In any fight, goal, or task that Ruqa believes to be worth her attention and effort Ruqa will give it her best shot and do as much as she can with the time she has got. She might fail in the end but no one will be able to say she didn't try her damnest. The young huntress picks and chooses whatever fights she wants and she never goes down without giving it her all. She hasn't done much to be proud of in this life, the strength afforded to her is all but temporary, but this endurance, she hopes, is something to be admired.
[div][attr=class,title]History Freeform[/div]
[b]Profile[/b] A truly unusual hunter in training at Haven Academy Ruqa disrupts whatever currently passes as normal wherever she goes. While students with mechanical augmentations are not especially rare in the life threatening career of Huntsmen where physical disabilities are common place, Ruqa stands out with her own set of dual paired mechanical arms. They say that many hands make light work and the huntress herself is frequently quoted as saying she is as capable as two people. Whether she can live up to her own words will only be revealed with enough time.
[b]Archive File 1[/b] (Increase Trust to 50) Accepting her unique prosthetic weapons was ultimately Ruqa's own choice to abandon any chance of living a civilian life and to become a huntress. The weapon's themselves don't particularly make her better fighter than the average two handed brawler but they are incredibly versatile and adaptable. Ruqa's abilities in combat only increase with every upgrade although it does bring to question whether she is strong though her own will or if she is only strong due to the weapons she carries.
[b]Archive File 2 [/b] (Increase Trust to 100) Ruqa is a midlingly, average student at best. Her few interests outside of training include sports, parkour, and exploration. A person truly only suited for physical hands-on work although if she really wants to become an independant field hunter she must work on other technical skills unless she is satisfied being a hunter that you only have to point a finger at her next target.
[b]Archive File 3 [/b] (Increase Trust to 150) A talent for being at the center of attention, Ruqa had been a recognizable face after her defense against dust thieves during her time at one of Argus' Training Academies. The event was the reason for the injuries on the upper half of her body as well as an emotional catalyst for the motivations that drove her to become a huntress. However, her instructers had privately stated that they worried about her lack of self preservation and that although they could not stop her from applying to Haven they did hope that her time there would curb that reckless streak of hers.
[b]Promotion Record [/b] (Promote to Elite LV1) A thrill seeker at heart, Ruqa gravitates towards what is exciting and dangerous. She seems to not understand the purpose of Huntsmen in the context of the world, her own goals to graduate from Haven Academy only define her a career path that allows her to fight to her hearts content and pays her enough to survive. Such motivations would be dangerous in any aura-weilder, one that could easily lead to a life of crime or banditry where violence and modest wealth are easily attainable. If not for the more lax qualifications in previous years someone like Ruqa might not have been accepted into Haven although the exception was made thanks to her entrance interview. In summary of the conversation, her motivations are for the most part selfish but if she can help others while having fun herself then what's the harm in joining the battle?

April clean up!
I am requesting to cash in my First Year Longevity Bonus for Ruqa! Again another thing that I've been putting off but might as well collect all sources of EXP that I'm aware of now.
I am also requesting to cash in the Transition Update Bonus. Ruqa has something like 1538 total EXP so she falls under the under 2500 total EXP category, entitling her to 200 EXP
I am also requesting First Character Bonus be given to Ruqa, entitling her to 250 EXP.
I am requesting to cash in my First Year Longevity Bonus for Ruqa. Also I found the updated Longevity update. It's the same either way since she is a Freshman but at least I know about it.
I am also requesting to cash in the Transition Update Bonus. Ruqa has something like 1538 total EXP so she falls under the under 2500 total EXP category, entitling her to 200 EXP
1088+200 (Transition Update Bonus)= 1288
I am also requesting First Character Bonus be given to Ruqa, entitling her to 250 EXP.
