So here it is…..
Finally….. right? 2 days away from RWBY Chibis' new episode. Aaand according to the RWBY hiatus countdown blog it's more 137 days till Volume 4…….. Expecting of course it will be airing in November and not September cause that would be just 97 days or so…… But still! So while we wait I'm finally ready to present you…….
The Grand Aura Theory!
Or GAT for short…… So basically I've been looking up every piece of information we can get about Aura, and now let's see the basics in a form of Q&As!
What is the Aura?
Aura is basically the manifestation of your soul, However unlike the popular belief Aura isn't Soul, more like the product of your Soul, A fine example for the Soul and Aura relation would be the Mitochondria and the rest of Cell. In this case your Aura is like a cell and your Soul is the powerhouse of it.
What can Auras do?
Aura is like a multi-task tool. It can protect you from incoming hits, heal your wounds, be an active offensive and defensive weapon and also good at unlocking other's Auras. As presented by Lie Ren, one can use their Aura to block a certain attack or to increase the damage done with their attacks. But if my assumptions right Aura can do much more than that….
What is the true full extent of an Aura's abilities?
If the hints are true, one can use their Aura to achieve immortality in life expectancy, but not in combat, cause you can live forever doesn't mean you cannot be harmed! Above that I do expect Aura can be used to take control over other people, but that's a dark forbidden technique. I also expect there might be some super vision, let's call it Aura Vision, which allows you to see other people and Grimms even through walls and other obstacles, however that's only taught to Second graders or older at the Huntsmen Academies, thus that's why it wasn't presented so far. As well people within a Team can link their souls up to 4 people, however first they have to learn linking with another person before they can do that with 3 others. That's why they are forming pairs during the initation, again this is a Second or older grader stuff, but it's start at first grade by the pairs slowly forming some emotional bond, now I mean as friendship and so, not love. Of course it isn't rare that from these pairs often couples then marriage and kids are coming.
Does Aura have layers or it's just a big bubble with few abilities?
Well of course not, it wouldn't be bubble anyway cause it envelops the user like their clothes. However Aura does have layers, in my Aura anatomy theory (which is part of the GAT), Aura is separated to Soul Core, Soul, Aura Base, Inner Aura and Outter Aura. Soul Core is, as the name suggests, the core of your Soul, this is where your consciousness really resides, this core, unlike western and eastern religions suggests, is located in your Brain. The Soul, the powerhouse of your Aura as said, is an interesting stuff, possibility is somekind of a plasma when outside of your body, but invisible by normal means. Unlike your Soul Core, the Soul is actually can be found in your whole Nervous system, every bit of it, with it's core being in the most dense as of neurons. The center, the Brain. Aura Base once used to be the number one protection for humans, however since that the stronger Inner and even stronger Outter Aura developed, so the Aura Base is no longer useful for a Hunter, take it as the remains of Aura's evolution. Aura Base coats the nervous system giving it some protection but not much, originally it was where now the Outter Aura however it slowly shrinked into the body until it ended up where it is nowdays. Some Aura scientist says one day the Aura Base will completely disappear. Inner Aura was the next step in the Evolution of Aura, slightly stronger than Aura Base but still not as strong as the Outter Aura. However unlike Aura Base, Inner Aura is still have some uses, you might didn't know but the Inner Aura is the one actually responible for the healing ability. While it does this in co-operation with the Outter Aura, since Outter Aura's job is to protect you the least it does is healing. It does seal the wounds, but it does not heal it fully, that and the internal and deep wounds healing is the job of the Inner Aura. Inner Aura also the one give you the ability of Aura Vision and Soul Linking (let's just rather call it Aura linking okay?), as well as it is able to enhance your senses, including your sixth sense, the Self-awareness, which allows you to sense if there's danger nearby. Outter Aura, there's pretty much nothing I can say about that without you knowing it already, this thick outter shell allows you to get punched and feel nothing of it, like you weren't even hit. This is the one also allows you to enhance your hits and block attacks,
Well this is all I can say for now, but go ahead and ask more questions, I'll try to answer them accordingly!
