Name: Basil Plagas ( Basil is a dark shade of green, plagas is plague in Latin which fits this guy's theme) Basic info: 

You overdid his faunus…ness a bit. As of right now there are no faunus characters with more than one faunus trait, while you have about…2.5 faunus traits on him. Yes, it is only an assumption that they cannot have more than one trait, just like it’s an assumption to believe they can. Until we get confirmation from the show or the creators, I’d rather OC’s play it safe and don’t go outside the bounds of what was show in canon, aka that faunus only have one animal trait on them.

Characteristics: 

As you’ve been told by spirited, semblances do one thing, whether it can be used in more than one way or changed with dust is irrelevant, at its core it does one thing. Healing AND teleportation are 2 different things.

Changing semblances due to personal experiences is a nono, and I can tell you exactly why with 1 word, Jaune. The fact he hasn’t discovered his semblance yet, despite having a clear goal as well as a core personality, indicate that semblances are not tied to a personality, nor a goal. You can argue this all you want but, it’s pretty clear that once he’ll find a semblance, it will not change. Maybe how he’ll use it will change, but not what it does. If your character was too young to form a core personality, he shouldn’t have had a semblance prior to the whole ordeal…in my opinion of course, I’d take out the semblance prior to the accident, and just mull on the irony of gaining a plague semblance after the attack.
