The Aura seems a bit confusing, potentially kinda-OP but still rather confusing. Would like to read an example of him using it in battle.

However, this is the first time I've seen a clown OC. Very original. well... he needs to be medicated... but part of the trauma is that he sees the world through a semblance that see's possible futures/actions, so Babies are like a supernova of potential, so he removed his own potential for creating one. Think of it like SAO's GGO bullet prediction lines, only Aura is a giant blur and youths unpredictability is represented by greater numbers of multiple possibilities, reduced as you learn things(an example of this being shown in the "Fringe" episode where Olivia does the unexpected because she doesn't realize the hazard shown by the Hazard signs).

The biggest handicap he has is that with being's with souls he is essentially seeing a prediction of how the persons Aura "might" react, for example he Would likely be blinded trying to see this way vs. ruby as if she ran full tilt for 5 seconds in any direction she might attempt to attack him from he would instantly be consumed by a literal vortex of prediction line mist, with concentration(which drains aura) he would see ruby herself, but still see all those possible attacks she might make... and even with a clown/acrobat's tumbling skills he isn't necessarily fast enough to fight someone like her with counters... especially when he has a choice of what to counter.

against Grimm however... he is barely threatened, not that he can always do much to kill them.
