Listening to "War Cant of Mars" with [The Omniphone] I soared through the Remnant sky using telekinesis on my own body as well as a simple flight spell. I had just gotten out of Atlas through the use of [Cream (Stand Ability)] as a transportation system with an AOE psychic illusion taking the attention off of me. Through experimentation I found out that psychic abilities like illusions or mind control did not in fact rely on foreign minds to take effect, what this meant was that rather than forming an illusion on other peoples minds directly I could also cast it on an area and then have the illusion trigger when said area is perceived through any medium. Neat.

It had been a good 6 months since I had left Carnegie with renewed conviction, and ever since I had gotten... to be honest, not as busy as I thought I had. For starters I had gotten my money up by robbing the SDC Dust factory near Carnegie, the place was more than just a simple mine, serving also as a factory that produced Dust items like bombs, weapons, and even just simple powdered Dust. At the time I didn't really want to attract much attention so I simply cast an AOE illusion on the train making all recordings appear like nothing happened, made everyone unconscious and sold off all the products, since there where no witnesses there was no need to hide my identity, and with everything being done remotely with telekinesis I made off like a bandit. This process had been repeated several times now, to the point where I'm certain Jacques Schnee must be ripping off his mustache

After getting my money up I made some key purchases which would help out a lot on my future plans, [Perfected Cloning] and [Key of Adeptus Mechanicus]. [Perfected Cloning] was very straightforward, like the name implied it was the ability to create a perfect clone of my own self, with the level of similarity they had to myself depending on the effort put into creating them. Creating an identical copy of myself with all my skills and abilities, then I could do it once a month with the energy I currently had, but clones that only had my body and nothing else could pretty much be created on a whim.

I've used this ability to create 3 identical copies of myself and created a 'semi hivemind' with all of them, where everyone had their own individual mind, ideas and will which where just a copy of my own, but at any point they could connect with one another and do things from simple information sharing to straight up body swaps. I expected to face some kind of identity disorder creating what was in essence another me, but since everyone had the same amount of information as each other, they all understood that things like 'who was the real/original one' didn't really matter as we where all just as real as the other and things like treason and such where silly. Id be like your left arm conspiring against your right. Just in case though I did establish the original undivided self as an 'overmind' before I started making clones so that if things got nutty I could manage them.

Two of the clones are following the pre-established identities of what I've taken to calling 'The Justice' and 'The Devil', I'm confident you can guess who's who. The Justice got sent to Vale to butter up with Ozpin and get a position of power within Beacon, largely for fun, also for keeping the wizard in check and finding out where he put the Relic of Choice.
