WEAKNESSES:



From civilization came man's hivemind. From the hivemind of man, as it does in reality, men do not easily accept something other then something. As the Faunus, half-men and half-animal emerged from the darkness, man rejected them.And the Faunus decided to kick their ass in a war, as return! They won the war, and obtained legal equality. Happy story, right?Not so. The law says things the people do not, and the people began to hate the Faunus, and pick on them. The White Fang, the primary peace-making organization for cooexistence, was the only method of peace, and it didn't work right. Just like the UN.In fact, five years before RWBY occured, the leader of the White Fang stepped down and a new, thinking man rose. The signs and the words were replaced by axes and blades; in other words, the White Fang became one of the most infamous terrorist organizations in history.You know, can't say the UN ever did that.Come on now, don't pull in politics in the middle of RWBY!Whatever.Blake had been a member of the White Fang since childhood, supporting her own rights as a Cat-like Faunus. She even partook in a heist against thr Schnee Dust Company along fellow member Adam Taurus. However, after the brutal methods of the White Fang came to light, Blake deliberately left the organization and became a Huntress.In fact, as a Faunus, she can see in the dark - but that's the least of her skills. She is quick, acrobatic, and dangerously skilled and brutal. She is willing to kill to accomplish her goals, and in the past has done so. Blake is mysterious and a thinker; she analyzes the situation before going in, and fights there with ruthless skill and agility.Blake is also possibly the greatest fighter in all of RWBY. Her ninja-like skills have been honed, through years of training in the White Fang, into superhuman feats of speed. Hell, she oncemachine gun fire at short range!And, to compliment her skills, Blake can access her Semblance to form deadly clones of herself. These 'shadow-clones', using Blake's trademark weapon, can strike for Blake and move like her; however, they dissipitate after a single, strong hit. Blake can even use these for movingspace, by kicking off them!Or, it's a flash step. Come on Miles, this makes no sense!Blake has used her clones to terrifying efficiency. When outmatched in raw skill, Blake overpowers her foe in shadow clones, striking with deadly force at every moment.Of course, a sufficiently quick foe can analyze and deal with the clones and get to Blake.That's not all.Like any good RWBY character, Blake wields an absurdly complicated weapon in the form of her Variant Ballistic Chain Scythe, Gambal Shroud.Despite not being a chain, or a scythe, Gambal Shroud is a powerful weapon and arguably one of the greatest in Team RWBY. The blade, a straight short sword with a short taper on the end, is typically kept in a rectangular sheath. This sheath is actually just as sharp as the blade, which is strong enough to cut a robot in half.Plus, it can fold in to form a pistol! Well, a pistol isn't the best weapon, but it'll hurt; and, that makes it a gun-katana! Hellz yeah!Interestingly, Blake also wields a short ribbon around her arm that can be attached to Gambal Shroud and used like a grappling hook. The ribbon is incredibly long - over 20 feet - and capable of supporting Blake's entire weight. It can stop falls by attaching onto a platform, and swinging like a rope.Still, the blade has limits. It has been shown to not cut through everything.. But hell, if it can rend a robot, I'm fine with it! It can even deflect gunfire and be fine!Blake likely has the greatest feats of all of the cast. Thanks to years of White Fang training, Blake has taken her naturally Aura-driven physique to its absolute limits. In her drive for freedom, Blake perfected the art of war.I'd like to see Jack Bauer try to fight off this one! Time for a catnap, Jacky boy!Wow, you certainly have a thing fordon't you?It's a fun mental picture...Dang, it kindaYou mad fool!Regardless, as we've said, Blake's Aura can augment her strength, Oum-force, yadda yadda yadda...It forms a forcefield around her person, which helps explain her ridiculous ability to sustain injury, and allows for her to fight like she does - cleaving robots in two and cutting their bullets, after all.See, Dan, this is why introducing it all the same way is boring! They're all the same!Shush, this is important. Really,is more important than you talking....Hey!Still, even then, Blake has flaws. Mysterious is cool, but it doesn't get Blake partners, and she usually speaks only that is needed to be said. Blake really isn't very social, and while that sometimes works, it may not help her in a Battle Royale.Plus, Blake has shown she can be outmatched in a raw fight by incredibly physical and durable fighters, like Roman or the Deathstalker. She beat up robots, but she failed to fight off Roman Torchwick - for now, anyway.Dan: Still, if that's what Blake is bringing to the fight, she certainly has a chance.She might justoff a victory, you know?I hate you more than you canright now.
