Overpowered Place of Awesomeness #1: 

''Welcome to the first Overpowered Place of Awesomeness (O.P.A.)! Here, anyone's welcome to join in, and post crazy, over-the-top weapons, Semblances, OCs, and other stuff that would never fly in the canon universe of RWBY! ''

'' - There are no limits when it come to power here. So, feel free to post everything from God-Tier to Just Plain Stupid here. This includes raising the dead, power swapping, Grimm spawning, and anything else you may desire! ''

'' - HOWEVER, keep in mind that other people can still critique whatever you post, and offer advice for how to make your posts even cooler than they already are. ''

DA RULES: 

1. There's no set format to follow, but I'd prefer to see some semblance of organization whenever you post something. Bullets work fine, but walls of text are best avoided. Proper grammar and spelling are not a necessity, but they are appreciated.

2. If the post has a name in any language that is not English, please provide a translation.

3. Characters do not have to follow the CNR, or any other rule established in RWBY. This is a free-for-all discussion where such things may limit your creative abilities imo.

4. All wiki rules and guidelines with regards to proper conduct still apply here. Just because it's free-for-all, doesn't mean the general rules stopped existing.

So, I'll start the first post. This will be a Semblance idea I had that was rejected for not fitting into the canon, and for its overall complexity on the original Semblance Thread.

Semblance: Divine Theft

User: N/A

Activation Cue: Glowing geometric patterns race across the user's body. A white circle of light forms at the center of their chest.

Short Description: User steals the Semblances of others through physical contact. They gain all knowledge on how to use it, and the Semblance increases exponentially in power. Multiple Semblances can be "stacked", and combined into more powerful ones.

Limitations: Semblances "decay" over time, gradually losing power till the user loses access to them altogether. Puts massive stress on the user's body, thereby limiting how often they can use it. Target is left without a Semblance; however, they retain access to their Aura.

Inspiration: The main protagonist of Infamous: Second Son, Delson Rowe is a Conduit (An energy-sucking mutant) that can steal the powers of other Conduits. I also drew inspiration for how it looks when activated from the anime Guilty Crown, and its main character's ability, or Void. The stacking effect was inspired by the DLC character Gaige from Borderlands 2, and one of her abilities.
