1 - With regards to the team name, most teams in the show (with the sole exception that I can think of being FNKI) have names whose colors match with the color of the leader (RWBY and Ruby are both red, Coco (Cocoa) and CFVY (Coffee) are both brown shades, etc.), so that's something to keep in mind. I do like the Team's CNR connection, though.

2 - I understand it's an AU thing, but can you briefly explain the Seer mask? The biggest problem with the mask that I can see is that it's a Grimm mask, which are strongly associated in the eyes of Remnant's people as a sign of the White Fang. And she donned this mask after she saw the White Fang razing Vale. It doesn't make a ton of sense.

3 - Wait, she was outdone by her peers? I thought you said her intelligence and combat skills were stellar. Don't know if you overlooked that, or...

4 - I feel like her heroic mindset clashes somewhat with her lust for power and control, doesn't it?

5 - Include Likes and Dislikes, if not on this character then in the future. It really helps flush out a character and add depth.

6 - …I agree with Sentry, that is a lot to ask a handgun to do. I can…kind of see the transformation working as is, but where does the wielder insert ammo? Where the heck is the chain located? I doubt any chain of reasonable length and all the moving parts for the rotation of the gun barrel can be housed in that one gear-shaped area.

Feel like I should clarify two things first:

- This is an edgy self-insert. Whoops. A lot of the personality traits are, as such, based on myself, which is why they clash so continuously. Most of our own personality traits clash like hell, and I just went all out based on my own perspective of myself.

- The AU is too embarassing to talk about (y'know, related to canon characters, involved too much in the plot, probably OP, all that jazz) so just ignore the mask okay I'm sorry ;-; If you really want to hear it you can ask me on my wall/message me/however wikia works.

1 - So... "Jaune" and "Juniper"? I'd also like to add that the color of her Aura and Emblem are both Gold, and the color of the team is "Aztec Gold", and dAwN iS a ReSuLt Of ThE sUn WhIcH iS kInDa GoLd.

2 - Refer to my comment above.

3 - "Outdone by her peers" and "stellar combat and intelligence" are two aspects of her life that essentially compete. She is outdone by her peers, so she works to become better than them, but then she is outdone again, etc etc. It's also a case of her simply being stronger in some areas (that fall under the categories "intelligence" and "combat") and weaker in others. This is something that happens to everyone (I'd imagine?) but it's more prominent from her own perspective because she grew up in an environment where she'd never experienced competition or failure against others until she went to elementary/combat school.

4 - There doesn't have to be one or the other. I don't really know how to explain it in any way other than that. Her lust for power is without negative intentions, but moreso positive and personal ones. Wants power =/= bad guy - she won't go to extreme lengths to get that power, she'll just change her own attitude and the way she presents herself to make her seem more appealing, or more of an asset to whatever system of power she is attempting to join.

5 - Sorry, but I really don't want to, at least not on this character. They seem pretty trivial to me, and most of it will just be me making up random stuff to fill in space, which I'll then have to explain in detail as it will otherwise seem out of the blue. There'll be maybe 2 relevant things under "likes" and then random food items and unnecessary hobbies. It might just be me, but I don't see how those things flush out a character.

6 - Frankly put: I don't know how a gun works (very well), and didn't have much regard for that when I described it to the person who made it - I intentionally made it relatively simple because if I went all out on details, I'd probably get wrong more than right, and that'd just create more problems and inconsistencies. If you have any suggestions I'm open to them (maybe the chain could be in the shafts??? idk man) but I won't be able to change the gif/model because I didn't make it. I regret the straight handle though.
