she also has a motorcycle/hovercraft that i suppose could count as a weapon. Hmm... Despite gathering a limited sense of your other OCs with whom she interacts, I'd say that she's effectively 'balanced'. Amusingly enough, I was considering making a hoverboard of sorts for a character using a hypothesized type of 'gravity' dust, but I wound up scrapping the idea and turning it into something with a glider function instead.

With regards to my 'Jailbreak' team, with their initials being LC, KG, BS, and JT, I settled upon LKST (Locust) as a team name. Still opens them to ridicule for being compared to insects, while still discrete enough not to be linked to their prior histories.

Still, two of the characters on that team need weapons. So far I have:

Luciano Capello. His first name means 'light', and his surname means 'trickster' in Italian. His semblance is 'Perspective', the one that VedranThell suggested. His weapon is still uncertain, but I'm thinking of a series of microfilament wires that can be molded into various blades or polearms using aura. Having trouble coming up with a ranged or gun function for them though.

Kelly Glas. Her surname literally means 'green' in Irish. Her semblance is 'Light Refraction' which was discussed on the previous thread and allows her to draw light toward her or away from her, depending on how much aura is expended. Her weapons are Mirror Shard and Aspidate Gem, a mace-and-shield combo. The mace is five-pronged and has purple dust crystals embedded in the hilt and each of the prongs. Besides having a 'burst' effect akin to what was demonstrated by Cardin's Mace, the prongs can separate from it and fly toward the opponent, being controlled by the dust crystal in the mace's base.

Byron Steele. Going for some clear metallic imagery with this one. His semblance allows him to jam or temporarily hijack mechanical aparatuses depending on their size and his aura reserves. His weapons are twin jackhammer-like tools that can convert to mini-propellers for short-range flight and are capable of firing off red energy beams akin to Penny's swords.

Jacyntha Themos. Her name is derived from the Hyacinth flower. Her semblance is sound-based as I previously mentioned. Could use some suggestions with her weapon, preferably something excelling in close or mid-ranged combat.

tldr; Any suggestions for a ranged function for Luciano's microfillament wires, and something effective for Jacyntha's CQC-fighting style?
