Semblances are projections of Aura that most people mainifest if they train to harness it into a Semblance. Semblance is active use of Aura, and is "a reflection of one's personality". Everyone, technically, has a Semblance, because every living being has Aura (except Grimm), even if not unlocked. The difference is whether they are aware of it, and whether they know how to use it.

Civilians don't always train to even manifest a Semblance. I would venture a guess to say that not even most police and military have the ability to use a Semblance. No, they don't. But just because you can't manifest your Semblance, either because of lack of training or because your Aura is not unlocked, it doesn't mean you don't have one. There's Jaune as an example of this.

The only practical reason anyone would have a Semblance is if they need to use it or can manifest it. Huntsmen and certain individuals that fight can have Semblances for our legitimate writing purposes. The RWBY writers as well. Everyone has a Semblance, because everyone alive has a Soul, from which Aura comes, and Semblance is just active use of Aura.

But, not everyone can use their Semblance, for one or more reasons. But it doesn't mean they don't have a Semblance. To lack a Semblance, would mean to lack a Soul.

Semblances could still only be used by people who have their Aura unlocked, and have it manifested and know how to use it. It's not like the requirements to use your Semblance would change.

Also....the actual hell does all that have to do with the idea of one's parents's Semblances in''fluencing on their child's Semblance? It's almost god-like levels of irrelevant. You speak as if I said "daddy has X Semblance, so I'll have a Semblance automatically", when I never said nor meant that, instead saying "daddy has X Semblance, so my Semblance may'' be similar".
