I think it's fine; at least, it doesn't seem too OP as long as his clones aren't fully combat-functional or self-guiding.

On another note, here's my next character. She's been around for longer than the other members of the team (that is, I made the original character long ago, then ported her over with the others who were created more recently), so this one might be a bit more lengthy in some areas. I fleshed out my characters' backgrounds a lot more this time, so I apologize for the wall of text.


 * Name: Cerise Sangestre
 * Team/Occupation: Team ACCA, student
 * Position/Class: Unifier; Bard/Assassin
 * Species: Human
 * Traits: N/A
 * Other:
 * Age: 16
 * Sex: Female
 * Handedness: Right
 * Height: 60 inches
 * Weight: ~100 pounds
 * Eyes: Forest Green
 * Hair: Chocolate brown, kept in a long braid.
 * Physique: Slender, athletic build
 * Combat Outfit: Form-fitting black jeans, dark top with long sleeves and a black leather jacket, and knee-high leather boots.  Wears a cloak during colder weather.
 * Casual Outfit: Form-fitting blue jeans or loose sweats, a long-sleeved tee shirt (normally of dark color), and low black tennis shoes.  Often accompanied by a lightweight black fleece jacket.
 * Personality: Very reticent.  Due to an incident in her childhood, she has developed a fear of using her voice.  Nervous and deferent, Cerise fades easily into the background of a crowd, preferring to single out one person from a group to befriend and rely on.  She very rarely speaks more than is necessary.  Cerise shows a remarkably mature outlook on life, but is still fairly childish and immature in other aspects, having a penchant toward making codenames and acronyms and being especially inexperienced in matters of romance.  She excels at nonverbal communication and reading body-language.  Cerise is an audiophile, loving music in all its forms, and is quite skilled with her violin, upon which she dotes (and often tries to come up with a name for).  The most likely to space out when listening to music.  She will put herself in harm’s way to protect someone who has done the same for her, no matter the risk.  Has a tendency to blame herself for things that are not her fault.  Despite her tragic history, she strives to keep a bright outlook on life.
 * Landing strategy: Uses acrobatics to parkour off nearby obstacles, or uses her semblance and Aura to strengthen her body for a rolling landing.
 * Aura/Effects: Violet in color.  Sometimes causes music notes to visually appear when music is playing.
 * Semblance: Bard’s Soul and Siren’s Song – Cerise’s voice allows her Aura to interact with the Auras and minds of those around her, strengthening/quickening allies or weakening/slowing enemies with her songs.  The more powerful the song, the harder it is for her to fight while maintaining it.  Advanced skill allows for more powerful songs with less movement restriction, and allows her to use her music to stun-lock a single enemy in place for an easy win (using this makes her very vulnerable to attack from any other target).  Mastery allows even greater effects, including powering up others’ semblances (even to the extent of allowing new abilities) and disorienting large groups of foes.
 * Weapon: A dagger with an eared pommel that turns into an Atlas 93Burstfire with suppressor attachment (21 round magazine, 3-round burst), which Cerise calls Shadowsong.  She also keeps her violin (in its case) on hand when not in the field, though she has not yet decided on a name for it.
 * Fighting style: Highly acrobatic when not focusing on her semblance; she relies on staying out of her opponents’ line of sight, using stealth to dispatch enemies quickly whenever possible.  When using Shadowsong in dagger form, she holds it backhanded, maximizing the eared pommel’s effectiveness in driving it down into enemy weak points.  With her weapon in gun form, she aims to get the third round of each burst in a weak zone, preferably the head.
 * Symbol: A black G-clef on a silver background.  Featured on the silver brooch she pins to her jacket, and on the case and side of her violin.
 * Background: Cerise Sangestre started a career as a young singer at the age of ten, aided by the power of her semblance, which had revealed itself only a year before.  Her father, Neth, had lost his first wife when she died giving birth to Cerise, and he remarried when she was four.  His second wife was Asha Brennie, mother of Mauve Brennie, who was of an age with Cerise. The two girls were quite different from one another – Mauve was quiet, reserved, and calm, while Cerise was boisterous and emotional – but they complimented each other well, and quickly grew close.  When Cerise’s semblance manifested, Mauve stayed by her side and supported her singing career whole-heartedly, and always helped in whatever way she could, her own semblance manifesting some time later as the ability to create a fully-functional clone out of stone.  Mauve was discouraged from using her semblance due by her mother out of concern for her Aura limits, so her skill went largely undeveloped.  In time, Mauve fell completely into her sister’s shadow, opting instead to grow physically strong and protect her sister, for which Cerise was always grateful.
 * Background (continued):When the girls were thirteen, everything fell apart when Neth was murdered and Cerise taken and held captive by a deranged fan. Her sister was nowhere to be found, and the authorities could gather nothing on the event from Cerise herself, who refused to speak for a full year, blaming herself and her voice for her father’s death and supposedly for her sister’s absence.  Asha, despite being torn by grief, did everything she could to support her stepdaughter through the hard times, and fully supported Cerise when she decided to begin attending a combat school at age fourteen with hopes of atoning, though she did not phrase it so to her mother.  Cerise opted to fly under the radar at Signal, doing her best and mostly succeeding at staying unnoticed and silent as she worked hard to make up for lost time, even attending summer schools to obtain access to Beacon almost a year only.
 * Notes: Team partner with Celeste Burne.  Uncertain of her own sexuality; simplified as bisexual.  Will end up being romantically torn between Aurum and Celeste for some time.  Cerise is a shade of violet, while Sangestre comes from the Old English word meaning Singer or Bard.
