The rest of team MARS will follow Black auras are frowned upon as of this moment. No canon character has them, not even Blake the black cat ninja where that color would actually fit. So we are going under the assumption it isn’t a thing on Remnant for now. Also, aura is one colour in the show, and one colour only. Ruby's is still red despite the Silver-Eyes thing. Pyrrha's was still red, despite having some of Amber's mingle in it. Aura changing colour is not something we have seen either, so until it is shown in the show, we suggest avoiding having characters with multicoloured or colour changing aura.

And visual effects, such as the black outline when we saw Pyrrha's semblance in effect, doesn't count as that's a visual effect. It's to show us as the viewers that something is happening and is not something that is actually visible to the characters inside the show.

The backstory is beyond confusing. He lived with his parents and friend isolated in the mountains, but what about his friends parents? And where did the other brother come from when the house got raided? And why would anyone go out of their way up a mountain to raid a house? I know you say it will be explained later but so far it feels like you want to build him up to some hero of destiny that needed protecting or that the house was guarding an ancient power, which I’m really not comfortable with.

I’m also not a fan of you skipping over how 3 kids that lived isolated somehow survived without food or supplies in the city, an environment they never had to deal with...and can not for the life of me see the wisdom in splitting up even if they did have all the money in the world.
