Noir Rossignol - The Surviving Nightingale

I'm pleased to introduce the N of Team EBNY, Noir. The adopted older brother of Elurra, Noir is a Survivor through and through. He powers through life with his heart on his sleeve and always looks out for his own, no matter what. Given what he's been through in life he has a natural and intense distrust of Adults and Elurra has been his Teacher throughout their days at Signal Academy. It's not perfect but with her help he has made passing grades every step of the way and nowadays he can at least attend class so long as the Teachers leave him be. He's also a Faunus with the Tail of a Lizard. Noir's place in Team EBNY is that of a Frontline Bodyguard/Bulwark. He excels at aggressive protection and King of the Hill style hold your ground. This style pairs well with his Sister, Elurra, given her weaknesses in self protection and CQC.
Noir's Semblance is called Survivor Boost. The closer to danger/death Noir is, the physically stronger he gets. Essentially when he is in close proximity to danger his Semblance will put forth strength unheard of for any other Huntsman. At its maximum it can increase his strength 5x the usual (he can deadlift about 160 lbs normally) but various conditions have to be met for this peak to happen. First off his Aura must somehow still be intact and second off he must be seconds away from knowing death. Given the usual situation that imminent death resides around he likely wouldn't have an active Aura still up. Barring this, a regular combat scenario won't activate his semblance given the rules around it. For his semblance to work Noir must be aware of the danger he is in. Therefore if Noir either doesn't see the Danger or if he is confident during combat (as he usually would be) it will not activate. So to clarify, when Noir is confident and self assured that he can win a fight his semblance will not activate. Furthermore, despite the fact he has to be aware of danger for his semblance to activate it is not an active Semblance instead, a Passive one. Because Aura fuels even passive semblances the state he needs to be under to be at Maximum strength is almost impossible to meet, therefore the true potential is limited. Another thing limiting its usage is his awareness of the danger and the Psychological rules that go into it. Additionally the amount of time his boost of strength lasts is only equal to how long he feels in danger for. The second he feels the danger pass is the second his strength returns to normal. Finally, when his Semblance activates his body quickly flashes his Aura Colour of Emerald Green.

I did this edit between "Reckless Paradise" and "Can't go to Hell".

LIZARD FAUNUS!!! Can he regrow his tail like the lizard Faunus in the World of Remnant series?!? ALSO!!! Noir’s semblance is fantastic! Absolutely in love with all the work you put into these characters :D I’m curious would his semblance activate if he truly believed he was danger even if that wasn’t so? (Like an illusion semblance being used upon him)

Based off the specific Lizard he has the tail of, I haven't seen anything about them being able to regrow their tails so nope.
Oh yeah if someone did an Illusion on him that would backfire very quickly on them. While I described aura levels and what not its based on his own psychology. Low aura simply means danger to Hunters. It's a cool idea of an illusionist being like "Ha Ha your biggest fear!" And then Noir accidently punching a hole through solid concrete.
