Ah, another one of these threads. These are fun.

Yeah, I posted my greatsword-railgun idea on the other thread, which seemed to promptly kill it. Not so sure that going into my idea for a semblance here is such a good idea, lol... But I can't not :p

So the entire idea behind this setup is that the character is the BIGGEST glass cannon. Like, a glass nuke would be more appropriate. The sword drains aura (I came up with the idea that the blade is actually concentrated aura. So yeah, the sword is like a lightsaber - although I'm assuming aura blades don't cut through other auras) and the railgun is a drain every time you shoot - so maybe something to counter it?

Idea - "Iron Will" - an defense focused version of Yang's. As they are damaged, their aura becomes harder and harder to break. The character could still go "in the red" and be in the danger zone, but they could fight on and would be very hard to kill. In other words - it wouldn't really stop their aura from draining, just completely breaking. They fight at their fullest to the end - and the end is their death, nothing less.
