Would it be alright if I asked if you could give me a scientific explination as far as the RWBY univers. the only reason I asked in the first place if because I'm writing a fanfic and my friend suggested that his character have two semblance. which would make for a great twist. I just want to make it specific in the book so it makes sense with the rest of the RWBY univers. I would say no as well, because:

A. A semblance can change, the moment Ozpin's soul bonds with Oscar's both should be converging into a new one

and

B. Ozpin's soul travels to similar individuals... in other words they should both already have similar semblances.

So while in theory they could both have separate semblances for a time, Oscar would need to know his own already in order to tell, because regardless which one he discovers, both should be approaching a merging point as long as he has 2 souls, and since both should already be similar that should not take long to reach, although it won't end up at the same point as Ozpin's was.
