Jaune Arc

Jaune is a major character in Rwby

## History

Jaune Arc was raised with seven older sisters, and from a lineage of heroes and warriors. However, Jaune possessed little combat ability and had received barely any previous training. But determined to live up to his family legacy, he managed to sneak his way into Beacon Academy, where at first, it was getting obvious that he was not who he claimed to be. Unexpectedly, he was selected to be leader of team JNPR. His team and friends (especially Pyrrha) have been supporting him since, and he pulled through many struggles from bullies to the Vytal Tournament. Since the fall of Beacon and his loss of Pyrrha, he has been traveling with Ruby Rose and the remaining members of his team to Haven Academy and later the kingdom of Atlas.

### Weaknesses

* Relatively inexperienced
* Lacks the ability to use his Semblance and Aura at will
* Continual damage to his Aura will cause it to decay to the point where he can be left open to more significant damage
* Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack he takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength
* Semblances drain Aura by a small amount and without it they cannot be used until it is recharged
* Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's Aura
* Can be emotionally fragile and harbors severe guilt over Pyrrha's death, then later having to kill Penny for the final time
* A bit clumsy
* Has no ranged weaponry
* Can get airsick
* Didn't go to a combat school before Beacon
* Overextends when enraged
* Drops maps... a lot
* Sometimes doesn't realize the obvious
* His time in the Ever After took a tremendous toll on his mental health, leading him to name all the Paper Pleasers after his friends, take them hostage and not allow them to die, controlling their lives to keep them "safe"
	+ He overcomes this, however, after seeing them reborn as the Genial Gems and realizing he was stopping them from becoming what they needed to become
