No problem. I made a civilian character a while ago and got away with giving her a weapon/semblance by tying it into her backstory; she's a pop idol, her weapon is a pair of boots with wind dust designed to help her get away from overzealous fans, and she doesn't know her semblance but it's a sonic based one. Her aura was unlocked to give her a bit of self defense capabilities after a crazy fan broke into her house and she had to fend him off with a shoe from her wardrobe.

This was before we had the civilian section, so it was a bit difficult for me to work out how to tie it all in and have it believable. On the plus side, my character won. =3
