Not only could he push water away from his body, he could also pull it to him.
Neptune describing his Semblance

Water Attraction is the Semblance of Neptune Vasilias, It allows him to control water that he comes in contact with.

Description[]

Water Attraction allows Neptune to control water via hydrokinesis if he comes into physical contact with it. The water can then either be pulled toward himself or repelled away rapidly, allowing him to propel himself at great speeds or manipulate the water over a short distance. Neptune also possesses the ability to manipulate the cohesion of water, allowing him to stick it against people and objects, but to do this, he must draw the water towards himself first and charge the molecules.

History[]

When Neptune was young he was thrown into the ocean to learn how to swim, at which point he trapped himself in a bubble of water and was unable to see, hear, or breathe. As he lacked control over his Semblance, he then accidentally passed it onto his brother Jupiter, who was only able to escape the bubble with his own Semblance. Despite his brother's escape, Neptune blamed himself for nearly drowning him.

Following this event he developed aquaphobia, and detests using his Semblance, avoiding water outright to prevent his power from going out of control. As a young child, he was unable to be bathed due to his Semblance displacing the water away from him.

During the events of RWBY: Before the Dawn, Fox Alistair and Yatsuhashi Daichi attempt to interrogate Neptune on the whereabouts of their teammate Velvet Scarlatina by holding above a fountain, during which Neptune appears to use his Semblance to keep the water away from his face. During the fight with Xanthe Rumpole, Neptune considers using his Semblance as a last resort, although the fight ends without him using it.

Trivia[]

  • Neptune alludes to Neptune, the Roman god of the sea who had control over water. For more information on this allusion, see Neptune Vasilias/Behind the Scenes.
  • Both Vasilias brothers have a Semblance related to water manipulation.
