We know that aura and the soul is tied to genetics to some extent due to the Schnees. You are forgetting the fact their Semblance is supposed to be unique, with it's uniqueness being that it's related to the family instead of the individual. It does not speak for all people with Aura.

@Phantom: It's not like one gets more exhausted the less Aura they currently have, they get more exhausted the more they use it. Big difference. Aura is like a muscle, the more you use it the more tired you will get, but you won't get more tired if you don't use said muscle. Running tires you out more than sitting. Same here, using Aura tires people out more than not using it actively.

A person without Aura would just be a normal person, not any different from a person with a locked Aura. Being constantly exhausted? Bullshit. Being very frail? Bullshit. Muscles would not develop properly? Even bigger bullshit. An Auraless person = A normal person. A normal person wouldn't suffer any of that just like that nor because of that.

Aura itself only grants the effects it does when it's unlocked, otherwise it's as good as not even existing. And yet, every citizen in Remnant, including pre-Initiation Jaune, have been as good as any other normal average joe would be, despite not everyone having their Aura unlocked, or even knowing it exists.
