Age: 21

Requesting the spending of 1100 XP to upgrade Semblance from rank E to rank C

1938 - 1100 = 838

[b]Semblance Name:[/b] Kinetic Helix

[b]Rank of Semblance:[/b] C

[b]Semblance Type:[/b] Physical Boost

[b]Primary Category:[/b] Combatants (+2)

[b]Secondary Category:[/b] Obstacle (+2)

[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 The bands physically push her arms into their intended position from withdrawn fist to extended punch.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 C rank Strength and Speed during the duration of her semblance.

[b]Drawbacks of Semblance:[/b] Duration of semblance leaves her incapable of fine motor tasks and extensive use makes it harder to control.

Requesting the spending of 625 XP to upgrade Durability from rank F to rank D

838 - 625 = 213

[b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b] Aluminum Alloy (Durability)

[b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b] D

[b]Category:[/b] Hazard (+2)

[b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b] While it is very easy for Ruqa to break and replace her prosthetics, even she has to acknowledge what a waste of good metal it can be. With some adjustments, Ruqa had outfitted Mantis Brachius with new armoured plating made up of an aluminum alloy which has greatly increased the lifespan of her prosthetics. Additionally, a quick investment into some body armour has help to further mitigate damage. Light and concealable, it is none the less useful given that she tends to be standing in the way of incoming damage, even more so when she went into the solo huntress career. Engineering personalized armour, improving her personal defence, as well as knowing when to stay on the backfoot is an increasingly important part of her fighting strategy.

Non-Combat Ability Upgrades

 
Requesting the spending of 138 XP to add non-combat ability, Dust Science to rank E

213 - 138 = 75

[font color="7bddd5"][b]Name of Non-Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Dust Mining Consultant (Dust Science)

[b]Rank of Non-Combat Ability:[/b] E (+1)

[b]Category:[/b] Social.

[b]Description of Non-Combat Ability:[/b] While huntsman careers more often focus on fighting grimm and saving lives it is a common fact that government projects, private entities, and corporations frequently call upon huntsman to perform in roles too dangerous for most civilians. Whether it is clearing out land in addition to grimm, exploring underground caves to analyze dust deposits, or just adding to perimiter security detail, the huntsmen have a clear economic value to those who wish to employ them and might as well be considered a necessary business expense. Aided by some formal training during her time at Haven, Ruqa's knowledge of dust and Mistralian geography have aided her in aquiring a number of employment contracts with Dust Mining Corporations including the Atlessian owned SDC, sending her on a few jobs to reclaim territory as well as collecting dust samples in farther territories. This experience earns her a bit of respect from those in the industry which can be useful in rare occassions. While she makes certain never to agree to any long term employment that would restrict her freedom as a huntress, it does pay a lot better than simple freelance work.

Requesting the spending of 38 XP to add new non-combat ability, Tracking, at rank F

75- 38 = 37

[font color="7bddd5"][b]Name of Non-Combat Ability:[/b][/font] The Hardcase (Tracking)

[b]Rank of Non-Combat Ability:[/b] F

[b]Category:[/b] Obstacle

[b]Description of Non-Combat Ability:[/b] Unlike what Ruqa is typically used to, some more specialized huntsman jobs often require more forethought than what hunting grimm rarely require. Instead, hunting people can often be a much harder task as effort and progress are carefully considered against whatever caution is deemed necessary. Such is the art of bounty hunting which very often necessitates such careful effort in research and planning. Most targets are typically assigned to her from police detectives or private investigators who do most of the investigation and simply require a firm hand to take the dangerous criminals down. That said, it is a job that requires thinking on the fly as bounty hunting targets desperate to avoid capture are often unpredictable and unlikely to remain passive. Collecting evidence, taking notes on locations, and making logical assumptions is the only way to track down wanted criminals determined to stay free. But once she catches up to them? Well that's the easy part.

Corrected math

1938 - 425 (D rank sem) = 1513
1513 - 600 (C rank sem) = 913
913 - 200 (Durability E) = 713
713 - 425 (Durability D) = 288
288 - 138 (E rank noncom) = 150
150 - 38 (F rank noncom) = 112

112 XP remaining
