So I recently discovered that the Anime/Manga series My Hero Academia has 3 simple categories to easily identify each Quirk(superpower) in it... & then it hit me, It’s always kinda annoyed me that there wasn’t a similar system put in place to make it easier to us, the viewers, to understand the basic function of each unique Semblance in RWBY

So I’ve decided, if RT won’t do it, then I will, it took a while thinking about what each Semblance would be categorised under... this is what I came up with:

4 Main Categories;

Boost - Semblances that boost a certain attribute of the User or others

Effect - Semblances that cause a certain unnatural effect to the User or the surrounding area

Transform - Semblances that allow the User to transform into something else for extended periods of time

Creation - Semblances that let the User create something separate from themselves

Controllable Semblances - 🙂 Uncontrollable Semblances - 😈 Unknown Controllability - 🤔

Boost: Power Meter - Yang Xiao Long🙂 Amplify - Jaune Arc🙂 Thunder - Nora Valkyrie🤔 Mimic - Velvet Scarlatina🙂 Endurance - Hazel Rainart🤔 Moonslice - Adam Taurus🙂 Preflexes - Maria Calavera🤔 Invincibility - Tock🙂

Effect: Polarity - Pyrrha Nikos🙂 Emotion Mask - Lie Ren🙂 Misfortune - Qrow Branwen😈 Telekinesis - Glynda Goodwitch🙂 Steal - Marcus Black🙂

Transform: Speed - Ruby Rose🙂

Creation: Glyphs - Weiss Schnee🙂 Shadow - Blake Belladonna🙂 Via Sun - Sun Wukong🙂 Killer Quartet - Flynt Coal🙂 Portals - Raven Branwen🙂 Illusions - Neopolitan🙂 Hallucinations - Emerald Sustrai🙂 Glyphs - Winter Schnee🙂

P.S: it’s only now I’m realising that Ruby is the only character in the ‘Transform’ category...
