First up we have, Fernando Dubhan Sterling by Cyrania de Bergerac.

1)Basic info: That is one complicated ass symbol...you do know all symbols so far use one color on a black background right? Not that I’ll deduct points or anything, just remembering the pain i went through to make myself a symbol that works. (+5pts)

2)Appearance

Multicolored auras are non-existent as far as i know within the context of the show. We have had cases where the particles mismatch with the color, like Blake, but never one with multi colored aura or particles, so minus points for that. You get points for linking the name color to his appearance, pretty distinct hair appearance, and although you only gave him one outfit and a generic one at that, the sash helps it a bit. (+7 pts)

3)Characteristics

Pearl lampshading how mismatched she is as a trainer is not helping her case. The council assigning Pearl as a teacher and insisting on it makes no sense because they were completely mismatched in terms of training. In fact the council concerning themselves with the lives of circus folk also isn’t helping make this situation any more believable.

Although Pearl does come off as a bit of sadist, laghthing at the expense of a kid whipping himself till he draws blood...so maybe she just went with it aware the kid would get bodily harmed once or twice.

Him sneaking out to Beacon also doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Pearl went there and no one bat an eye, why would he going there raise such a fuss? He’s trained, by a Beacon student no less.

Personality would have normally got you in trouble since it sounds a bit paradoxical, but I have my father as proof that it isn’t, it's just selfish. Wanting to leave and explore for months while coming back to a loving family for a bit. I will say this though, that is not the sign of someone who's just a bit self centered. (+7 pts)

4)Trivia - No mention of the blacksmith, or his take on seeing a kid whip himself while his guardian was laughing it off, since the first time that happened was in the blacksmith's home, which is a little more important than her family in this context. (+4 pts)

I)Weapon - Oh god...Cyr, I don’t think you realize how small an ear dagger is. And you want that to turn into a chain whip? Which on average should be...15 times the length of that dagger? Yeah, no. I can swallow Yangs gauntlets, i can swallow Coco’s dmc reference, but this is beyond the scope of my insanity, there is not enough room in there to make it into a whip. Throwing daggers as a backup plan net’s you some points, but overall this is a pretty bad idee ( 0)

II)Semblance - Mechanics are kind of confusing. He can teleport somewhere he sees, yet he can get injured when porting to a not safe spot...how does that even work? He literally has to do it on purpose in order to get harmed by the semblance. If the teleport has a channel time, I failed to see it. Dust use is nice and you did mention the high cost. Overall a mixed bag that’s kind of unrefined(+2)

III)Combat - Hello friendly fire...you are going to be a pain to fight with, but that’s not really a complaint. Full points. +5

Overall that nets you 80 points.
