I am not talking like a Schnee-like hereditary semblance, which seems to be nearly symetrical (only the summonings seems to change), but more some kind of common-base where each family member developp its own specificity in higher tiers. Would that seems plausible for you in the RWBYverse ? I actually asked this question myself in the last thread. Nearly-identical Semblances through family members, as in the Schnee family, seems to be crowned upon for the time being. However, so long as they remain different at their core (which implies different functions and mechanics), it seems acceptable for family members to have somewhat similar semblances. However, be aware that Semblances aren't the "hereditary superpower" that so many assume they are. They are the "reflection of the soul" type of superpower, in the most literal sense possible, and because of this it's just as likely for a kid to have a Semblance that has nothing to do with their parents' whatsoever. Alright, so I was going with a berzerker-based semblance, but each member grew different specificities as they grew up, like chanelling the power into a powerful punch or kick, transmitting battle-rage into others...

The point is that each one of the family will have a berzerker rage-base, but they can redirect it differently. Does that seems okay ?

MiniDaggers : thanks for giving your opinion. For the forum choice, I decided to post it here since it is a Semblance-based question. Personally I think that seems a bit TOO similar. It's the same thing, just punching, kicking, making others angry, etc. That's supposed-Schnee levels of similarity.
