The Arc Family Blessing
Origins and Inheritence
The Arcs are a remarkable line of Huntsmen, not only because they continue to exist while almost all other Aura users have died out, but because of their unique method of propagation.
Before the annihilation of Grimm the Arcs were a fairly typical, if unusually powerful, line of warriors, with auras that were large but difficult to finely control- they often picked up the basics of combat very quickly but most remained moderately powerful throughout their lives; only the few with the will to hone their potential were able to combine a true mastery of aura with the size of their reserves.
In the aftermath of the Bloodline Curse, however, the majority of Human children were born with permanently locked auras. Even two parents with powerful and unlocked auras could rarely expect even half of their children to be born with usable auras of their own. For centuries, the noblest of the Old Aura Elite carefully arranged unions that would maximize the chance of 'Blessed' offspring, but as their numbers plummeted this became impossible for two reasons- the decreased pool of potential mates and the increased power rivalries between the few who still possessed Aura. Rather than supporting one another as allies, they increasingly viewed one another as rivals and worked to annihilate one another to more easily dominate their de-powered subjects, which merely accelerated Aura's disappearance.
Seeing the inevitable, one of the last of the Old Elite, and the first of the Modern Arcs, spent his life studying and modifying his own aura in order to counter the effects of the Bloodline Curse ensure the continued dominance of his progeny. The product of his efforts, passed down from father to son, is effectively a 'second semblance' known by the Arcs as the 'Family Blessing'
The Arc Family Blessing does not negate the effects of the Bloodline Curse- even the child of an Arc has only a small chance of inheriting an active aura. What it does do is maximize the opportunities of the wielder to create offspring.
Aura is passed down from parent to child, and in most Aura using males it is infused into both X and Y sperm. However, the Arc's aura is modified to only pass on to male children, excluding females from the true line but increasing the concentration inherited by a blessed male. Females are more likely to successfully reproduce, but the higher investment required by pregnancy and childrearing limits their maximum number of children, where a male is limited solely by the number of women he can impregnate. The Arc Blessing greatly amplifies its wielder's sexual attractiveness and potency, allowing for dozens, hundreds or even thousands of opportunities for it to be passed on.
Inheritance of the blessing occurs or fails at the moment of conception, as the Bloodline Curse seals the aura of even a portion of males. However, the new latent aura is nurtured by the aura of the mother: the stronger the mother's aura the stronger the child's aura will grow, and the weaker a mother's aura the higher the probability that even an active aura will wither away and the child will lose the blessing. Even strong auras sometimes fail to nurture a blessing and a naturally strong blessing can survive even the weakest of mothers, but the probability of success is strongly correlated with a baseline level of strength. While active auras are typically stronger than locked ones, even those 'without' aura still possess all the aura they would have had access to were it not sealed away by the Curse, and while the wielder cannot consciously control it this aura is still available to nurture the growing child. By the time of birth an individual's aura potential is generally set and can be measured. A boy born with an Arc's Blessing will never lose it, and their bodies and minds will continue to be shaped by the inherited power.
Abilities
Aura, once unlocked, has passive regenerative qualities, healing injuries and keeping the body in homeostasis. The Arc Family Blessing takes this pre-existing quality and uses it to actively influence the development of the body rather than passively restoring the user to a 'normal' state. The effects are less pronounced during childhood, though even in the womb early bursts of elevated testosterone lay the groundwork for future physical development. All Arc Heirs are effectively immune to all but the most serious diseases as a result of their powerful latent aura, and will recover more quickly from injury and exhaustion, but for the most part they can be raised as any other child would be.
The Blessing really kicks in during puberty, especially in the mid to late teens. During this period, the natural hormonal shifts and growth are cranked up to 11, amplified by the Arc's aura, with the extent of the magnification varying with the strength of the user's aura. This exaggerated puberty, sometimes jokingly referred to as 'Chadification' rapidly and profoundly changes the Arc's body and mind. Sexually mature Arc males are hypermasculine in both appearance and behavior, displaying levels of aggression, appetite, libido and social dominance well beyond average.
Sex and growth hormones such as testosterone and HGH are elevated- the average teenage male has roughly 700ng/dl with the normal range between 300-1050. Medical records of Arc Heirs in the last century show they rarely dip below 1400. Hormone levels also decline at a much slower rate than normal, with Arcs remaining well above the normal range for their entire adult lives. In addition, mature Arcs naturally emit powerful pheromones which arouse nearby females and intimidate nearby males; the effect can be mitigated by wearing heavy clothing and exaggerated by sweating, and the more acute the senses of the recipient the stronger the effect.
Even without the hormones, mature Arcs are visually distinct from other males- they invariably stand several inches taller than average and have incredibly robust physiques- with strong, dense bones, decreased fat levels, increased lean muscle mass and exceptional upper body strength. In addition to naturally carrying more muscle than a typical male, the bearer of an Arc's Blessing can rapidly repair damaged muscle tissue due to their aura, allowing them to train their bodies to peak human performance in a comparatively short period of time, accomplishing what an unaided human would take years or decades to do in weeks or months. Furthermore, their sensory organs and nervous systems are modified to increase sensitivity and reaction time above the level of a normal humans, an effect amplified by the presence of adrenaline. An Arc's athletic performance is often compared to users of anabolic steroids, without any of the drawbacks as the responsible hormones are a natural part of their bodies the rest of their physiology is attuned to and not a foreign substance. Tall, muscular bodies, rugged, masculine (and often handsome) facial features and the invariable dominant posture and behavior of a mature Arc invariably attracts the attention of passing females, making it far easier to lure them closer and reel them in.
The most extensive and purpose built modification of the Arc Blessing is found in the genitalia. Penis size is the most immediately noticeable difference- the product of ridiculously elevated testosterone and growth hormone during crucial stages of puberty. The average erect penis is roughly 5'' long and a little over 4.5'' in circumference. True Arcs rarely measure any less than 8'' x 7'' and in terms of volume even a smaller Arc is more than 3 times the size of an average Human male. High levels of arousal as a result of pheromones, sexual attraction and foreplay usually make the female receptive enough to engage in intercourse without issue, but Arcs with larger auras (and correspondingly larger endowments) have been known to channel minute amounts of aura into their sexual partners in order to heal minor wounds, mitigate pain and reinforce the cervix, while increasing sensitivity to pleasure. Arcs also have negligible refractory periods and can typically have sex uninterrupted for hours at a time, allowing for repeated copulations or insemination of multiple partners in quick succession ("If your erection lasts for more than 4 hours… you're probably an Arc.")
The testes have similar and in many ways more important enhancements. The average Human testicle measures roughly 24cc (48cc combined), with a typical range of 18-30cc, and normal sperm concentrations range from from 15-200 million per milliliter, with ejaculate volume ranging from 1.5-6ml, with a count above 20 million and a volume greater than 2ml considered adequate for fertility. Arcs, by contrast, have in all known cases had a minimum testicular volume of 75cc (150cc combined), and in rare cases have more than doubled that figure. The enlarged gonads produce higher levels of sex hormones that define an Arc's physique and behavior, but they also increase sperm production by an order of magnitude: Arc sperm concentrations have never dipped below 250 million per ml and have sometimes greatly exceeded it, and an ejaculate volume of less than 20 ml only occurs after prolonged dehydration (during which the body still prioritizes semen production as much as possible), with particularly virile Arcs again having a multiple of that. Semen quality is even more notably elevated: as many as 96% the sperm in a normal Human sample may be irregularly shaped or and 60% may not be optimally mobile. The regenerative properties of aura are automatically applied to an Arc's sperm, correcting defects, and raising 100% of the ejaculate to optimal shape and motility. The absurd quality and quantity of semen Arcs produce during sex greatly raises their odds of impregnating their partners, even after they've mated with other men, making them phenomenally effective as bulls to a rival's cuckold. This strategy is consciously aided by the phenotype of the main branch- blond hair and blue eyes are both recessive and highly visible traits that will usually be overridden by a female's dominant traits, and should an Arc bastard inherit them from their father they can still be passed off as the product of the cuckold carrying the recessive gene.
Women who fall under an Arc's sway regularly note that their semen is unusual in several ways- rather than the typical shades of clear to various cloudy whitish-grays it is invariably a thick, pearly white, and when swallowed it has a sharper, sweeter and saltier taste than normal. The taste is the product of a higher concentration of fructose and other sugars as well as various nutrients that act as fuel to allow the sperm to move faster and survive longer inside the womb. Human sperm typically dies within 2-3 days of ejaculation, and an egg typically dies within 1-2 days of ovulation, meaning in most circumstances a woman has 5 'risky' days, although occasionally pregnancies are caused by stray surviving sperm. The aforementioned modifications allow an Arc's sperm to survive for 5-7 days in the womb, nearly doubling the window for fertilization. Furthermore, Arc semen has a completely unique component, an enzyme which is harmless to the sperm of an Arc but which is an incredibly effective spermicide for all other men. The massive volume of ejaculate effectively saturates the woman's vagina with this enzyme, killing any pre-existing rival sperm and forming an impenetrable barrier for any subsequent pairings; even if an Arc fails to breed a mate he can deny the opportunity to other males for the rest of her menstrual cycle, ensuring asset denial if not immediate impregnation. This enzyme is flushed along with the uterine lining during a woman's period, but by that point she's receptive to being bred again, and if the Arc is at hand he's unlikely to fail twice. The initial thickness, alongside the effective plugging of the vagina by the oversized penis, prevents the semen from leaking out, and the increased length of sexual intercourse as well as the skill of the Arc can practically guarantee the female orgasms, often repeatedly, drawing the semen deeper inside and further increasing the odds of a successful mating. Liquefaction 20-30 minutes after ejaculation transitions it to a more fluid state to optimize the mobility of the sperm.
Arc libidos are abnormally high, and their desires are optimized for breeding. Arc males have an instinctive aversion to contraception and gravitate towards unprotected vaginal intercourse; once inside they inevitably go for the creampie. They typically regard anal sex as unappealing and a waste of time, though they lack the same prejudice towards oral sex. They generally find submissive female behavior to be highly appealing, but it is also possible that this preference has another insidious purpose; a blowjob gives them an opportunity to deliver a dose of their most powerful pheromones right in a woman's face. Many reluctant women have agreed to 'just a blowjob' only to wind up cock drunk and face to face with an Arc that can go multiple rounds, an exhausted mouth and an inseminated pussy.
The effects of the Blessing on the Arc's own body are optimized for attracting, seducing and impregnating a mate, but its effects on the woman are also potent and vital to its operation. Arcs are extraordinarily gifted in bed, their skill quickly improving with experience, and they are hyper-attuned to their partner's arousal and erogenous zones. The effect of the pheromones and the prolonged, super human sexual stimuli overwhelms the pleasure circuitry of the woman's brain and gives sexual intercourse with the bearer of a Blessing a mind altering, almost addictive quality. Neurotransmitters responsible for pleasure, affection and emotional intimacy such as dopamine and oxytocin are released in large amounts during orgasm, and when hit with dozens of orgasms in a single session a woman rapidly develops a deep infatuation for their partner, with reactions ranging from romantic love to superstitious awe. Since Arcs are typically incredibly dominant in bed their partners are conditioned to associate submission with pleasure, and become pliable and eager to please. This infatuation can form within the opening minutes of an encounter or be actively resisted, depending on pre-existing attraction, conflicting loyalties and the willpower of the female, but few women have the strength of will to resist its pull after hours of pleasure and no partner has ever survived more than a few encounters without becoming an affectionate and submissive love slave. Fully subdued women have been known to betray their families, friends and nations on the orders of their conquering Arc. This one-sided devotion is a crucial element of the Arc's reproductive strategy; fathering a proper heir requires a large number of attempts, and an Arc cannot afford to fully commit to a single woman. The mothers of their children need to be enthusiastic about bearing and rearing children with minimal support from the father; pleasing their stud and raising his young must become the female's highest priority, superseding any other loyalties or goals. Arcs are built from the ground up to cultivate such mates; they are chillingly good at it.
Weaknesses
The Arc Family Blessing is a powerful tool, but it has its limits. For one, the modifications to the body are incredibly expensive to create and maintain: the amount of food required to support an Arc is massive and they quickly fall victim to malnutrition and starvation when deprived of it, much more quickly than a baseline human. The Blessing is a passive ability that can not be turned off under any circumstances, regardless of the user's will or the presence of famine. Arcs build muscle far more easily than fat, and the Blessing inhibits the loss of muscle tissue or the slowing of the metabolism, prioritizing physical power and sexual potency above all other factors (if given the chance an Arc can literally 'fuck themselves to death' as their bodies will prioritize intercourse until they fail completely). These re-ordered physiological priorities gives the body inescapably high fuel requirements and a very limited tank; starvation can kill an Arc in as little as a week. In a time of abundance, this is not considered a serious weakness, but in the right circumstances it can be catastrophic.
Secondarily, the Blessing optimizes the Arc for violence and reproduction, not life as a well adjusted citizen of a modern Kingdom. Arcs are peerless by nature. They stand head and shoulders above normal men in almost every respect, but these physical perks are often accompanied by a callous attitude towards violence, narcissism and sociopathic tendencies, and combined with their monopolization of fertile females and cuckolding of other males this creates substantial difficulties maintaining social bonds.
Arcs dominate much more effectively than they cooperate. Their strategy for subduing females relies on overwhelming desire and pleasure: establishing themselves as by far the best reproductive option and getting their prospective mates to bend over backwards for the privilege. While cold, this method usually fosters devotion and affection in the target, and a conquered woman is unfailingly a loyal one. Their strategy for dealing with other males, however, relies on overwhelming physicality and intimidation: implicitly or explicitly threatening violence should a rival step out of line. This heavy-handedness inspires resentment and anger, and males subdued in such a fashion are always waiting for an opportunity to stab their 'master' in the back.
This difficulty extends even to kin. Because of the lopsided power dynamic of their romantic entanglements, Arcs rarely regard their mates as equals and often lack a stable support network, which can contribute to emotional instability. While few Aura users survive, the ones that do are almost always organized in a tight knit family structure, where knowledge and resources are shared among members; unrelated Aura users may attack one another on sight, but family sticks together. The 'Chadification' process, however, leaves any proper Arc so volatile that the family has to expel him in his mid teens before he can turn on their father or slake their lust on female relatives, and because the process is a magnified puberty, the weaknesses of pubescents such as impulsiveness and poor decision making are also magnified in young Arcs. This cycle of exile has been practiced for centuries but is deliberately kept from the next generation until they come of age- this period of early confusion and isolation at the most tumultuous point of an Arc's life is a calculated bit of cruelty and considered a rite of passage, but it also leaves young Arcs highly vulnerable should a hostile power discover them during their initial floundering.
The potency of the Arc's aura is also a double edged sword- while its basic abilities function autonomously, controlling it consciously is even more difficult than in the days before the Blessing. Arcs often struggle to learn any more than the most basic shielding and enhancement skills, and without proper instruction in their younger years many of them fail to learn even that.
Hubris is their most common fatal flaw. Any Arc is already abnormally athletic without training, and in a fair fight with a baseline human they'll almost always win. Those who choose to rely on this and neglect training, however, never achieve the superhuman levels of strength, speed and skill available to them and they can be overwhelmed by multiple attackers with some difficulty. An Arc who has achieved their full physical potential is harder to subdue and can often handle dozens of mundane attackers with relative ease, but well armed opponents are still incredibly dangerous. An Arc who has mastered basic aura skills can deflect small arms fire and strike with thousands of pounds of force, but even this great strength can be exhausted with enough manpower. No matter how strong an Arc is, any man can have his throat slit while he sleeps. Whether they're worth 10 men, 100, or 1000, eventually some number of enemies will be too many… and the conduct of an Arc ensures no shortage of enemies.

The mountains of northern and central Solitas are first settled by various Human tribes c. 8000 BS
Icyni, Scythian and Fionn tribal groups of Solitas (known for their exceptionally pale skin, naturally white hair and ice blue eyes, as well as their ingenuity at mining for heat and creating permanent structures out of ice) are conquered alongside the other populations of by the Ilosians and integrated into the new Kingdom of Mantle between 269 and 264 BS.
In the following decades the indigenous Humans of Solitas become a vital part of the strict military hierarchy of Mantle, although they rarely break into the highest levels of command and most are still given mid to low level positions, often in their ancestral mines, which in collaboration with the influx of engineers from the defunct state of Ilos rapidly become the lifeblood of the kingdom and a touchstone of the world economy.
The end of the Great War abolishes the Military Junta, shattering Mantle's class system and allowing the son of a miner to rise to the highest echelons of wealth. Nicholas Schnee becomes a legendary prospector and refiner of dust, discovering new reserves around the world and paving the way for a technological revolution with new ways of refining and harnessing dust. One of his first and most valuable employees, Jessica Klaus, had sharper business sense and diplomatic skills then her boss and became the administrative and financial head of the newly created Schnee Dust Company and one of Nicholas's closest advisors... and soon after his bride.
Nicholas Schnee (85-15BS) + Jessica Schnee (76-29BS) née Klaus
Willow Schnee (48)
The SDC would become the largest firm on the planet with annual revenues in excess of Ⱡ10,000,000,000,000. However, after the post war economic miracle, tensions in its home Kingdom of Atlas would grow as the gap between the old heartland of the Kingdom, Mantle, was supplanted by the new economic, cultural and political hub in Atlas, as well as increased tension between its Human and Faunus workers.
The company faced a series of debilitating crises between 31-22BS that nearly wiped it out of existence. Jessica Schnee developed cancer in 31 BS and would struggle against the disease until her death in the middle of 29BS. Nicholas was distraught throughout this period and the company saw a serious decrease in innovation... and without Jessica around to woo customers and balance the books the largest company in the world rapidly spiraled into debt. Worse still, in 26 BS the Faunus Rights Revolution began, devastating the world economy and depriving the dust mining industry of many of its crucial workers. On a personal level, Nicholas's own condition was starting to deteriorate after decades of heavy labor and exposure to dust, and while he wanted to keep the business in the family, he and his wife had spoiled their only daughter, Willow, who was at this point a prominent Atlesian Socialite with none of the skills required to run a multinational corporation.
Throughout these trying times, a young regional manager named Jacques Gelé distinguished himself as particularly effective and Nicholas soon turned more and more of the administration of the company to him. In the last years of the war the SDC even started to turn a profit again, openly siding with the allied Kingdoms in exchange for lucrative government contracts and access to POW laborers; when hostilities ended it bought up the assets of many of its competitors who had been driven out of business by the war and the SDC emerged in a more dominant position than ever.
Nicholas also encouraged Jacques to court his daughter, and while he was concerned that the couple married too quickly he knew Willow would be taken care of for life and hopefully even loved. Nicholas lived to see the birth of his two granddaughters, Winter and Weiss, and passed away in 15BS.

Throughout the early years of their marriage Nicholas acted as a mediator between Jacques and Willow and in the wake of his death the fissures in their marriage deepened ever further. While the couple would have one more child, Whitley, they began arguing more and more, and the mild alcoholism of Willow's early 20s, which she had overcome for the sake of her children during her pregnancy and early motherhood, came back with a vengeance. Divorce, however, was out of the question. Nicholas had left the SDC in its entirety to Willow, in the form of a trust, and Jacques was the trustee. Increasing alienated from her husband and children, Willow's mental condition spiraled until she was rarely sober and she would spend the following years as an infamous lush and mild embarrassment to the growing Schnee brand, increasingly removed from the public eye.
Nicholas also moderated the more ruthless aspects of Jacques' approach to business. The labor policies and tactics of the SDC are thought by many observers to have been a major contributor to the growing tension in Atlas, where they were by far the largest employer. When the Atlesian Civil War began in 3BS, the Schnee Family, much of their high level staff, and their center of operations relocated to Vale. Winter Schnee had just graduated from Atlas Academy and was set to receive a commission in the Atlesian Military, but after she narrowly survived the destruction of the Academy Jacques pulled several strings to get her assigned as a liaison to Vale. While the Schnees are nominally affiliated with the Blues, the SDC has increasingly shifted its messaging and stance away from the factionalism of modern Atlas and towards a more international posture.

Belladonna Clan
Ancestral Faunus Population of Menagerie
Emerges c. 14000 BS
Diversifies into various tribes and clans organized around common Faunus features, with tribes such as Cannae, Avarius, Rodens, Draco, and most immediately relevant, Felidae
Clan Moksha emerges as a warrior family within the larger tribe of Felidae c. 1800 BS
Valean raiders establish a colony on the eastern coast of Menagerie 276 BS, taking over some of clan Felidae's traditional fishing grounds. Their illegitimate offspring with local Faunus women organize in 242 BS to form Clan Belladonna, and emerge as a mercantile class, acting as intermediaries between the indigenous Faunus and the colonizing Humans. While other Faunus will deal with them, many regard them as little more than Human pets.
Human presence on the island is greatly drawn down post 80 BS as part of the settlement at the end of the Great War. Clan Belladonna's pre-existing trade contacts cause their wealth and influence to explode in the aftermath of the peacetime boon, and in 68 BS the Clan purchases its way into power as one of the noblest houses within Clan Felidae. Rivalries with pre-existing powerhouses such as the more militant Moksha intensify.
The Faunus Rights Revolution begins in 26 BS. A young Ghira Belladonna is made a thin striped (honorary) war chief and attached to the General staff as an advisor. Wanting to restore his family's honor and ideologically supportive of the revolution, Ghira pushes for a more active combat role, seeing some action in the Mistral and Atlesian campaigns. While deployed he meets Kali Moksha, who similarly was shunted into a non-combat role due to her sex and family ties, and acted as a logistics officer and co-ordinator with foreign Faunus and allies. Despite the icy relationship between their clans, the two cat Faunus hit it off.
The Faunus Rights Revolution formally concludes on January 1st, 22 BS, though fighting had largely came to a halt after the overwhelming Faunus Victory at the Battle of Fort Castle. Ghira served on the frontlines of the battle and the scale of the carnage was so great that it left the young officer with a deep rooted sense of pacifism and a dedication to averting the horrors of war. Kali similarly rejected the radical Faunus Chauvinism of her family after working in close quarters with humans for years and seeing the shared suffering on all sides of the conflict. Using his credibility as a war hero and his family's influence, Ghira becomes one of the chief proponents of a peaceful coexistence with Humans and nonviolent resolutions of conflict. He helps found a new Faunus Advocacy group, the White Fang, and becomes its first High Leader. Kali breaks with the rest of Clan Moksha and elopes with Ghira in 18 BS.

Ghira steps down as High Leader of the White Fang after being elected Chieftain of Menagerie by the Council of Clans- the youngest ever elected to a lifetime position. In his absence, the security wing of the Fang under the leadership of Sienna Khan radicalizes the group's mission and tactics. This militancy intensifies in 3BS with the outbreak of the Atlesian Civil War, with the White Fang allying itself with the Reds.
Wanting to distance their family, especially their daughter, from the growing violent radicalism of their former allies, Ghira and Kali relocate the family to Vale, delegating most of Ghira's responsibilities to the council and junior chiefs and functionally becoming the Chief Ambassador to Vale, widely considered the most politically stable Kingdom with the largest Faunus minority population and, in the wake of Atlas's infighting, its most important economy.

5 Elder Sisters
All 5 girls are past the age where they would attend Beacon and thus they have yet to make an appearance outside of flashbacks. While some of the finer details are TBA, as far as Bloodtypes go, Saphron is O- while the others are all O+. O- is the rarer type but the Arcs without an Rh factor were overrepresented in the early chapters. The sibling split is 3 (-) and 5(+), close to the 2/6 ratio you would expect based on sheer genetic probability.
