Oh wow. Okay then. I'm sorry if I came off as accusatory or agressive to you, and that is the reason for you to be agressive back to me. And now I shall be slightly snippy back.

Okay. He went to school for 1 and a half semesters. The semesters thing threw me off because I'm Australian, and where I went to school we callemed them terms, and there were four terms to a year. So semesters is technically a foreign word to me, in that I don't particularly understand it fully. A bit like the imperial system makes my head hurt because it's illogical. If you want to not have the confusion, I'd suggest using terminology people from all over the world can understand, such as saying 'he was at Haven for seven months'. Especially since we don't actually know for certain how many terms/semesters there are in a year in Remnant.

That being said, he'd still be 17, because he was 14 when he watched his parents die, travelled for three years, and so was 17 when he joined Haven. Don't ask me where this 15 years old starting Haven thing came into this, because I worked that out with the ages you gave me, which I was working on the number you gave being the minimum age he could have been, as that is the logical response.

I never said anything about his scars - oh wait. You are saying that for some reason, he was found by anti-faunus people during the time he spent wandering around. Uh....then why would he go to a human infested city? Seriously, if humans did that to him, and he's not brave as you said, then he's not going to want to go where he might get caught out as a Faunus and possibly hurt more.

You are also telling me that the people who found him didn't take him to a hospital, which wouldn't be that hard seeing as they have airships capable of getting people from Patch to Vale in less then a day, to make sure nothing was wrong with him and instead just took him home. They had no clue whether he might have caught a severe case of pnuemonia from being out on the forest alone at a very young age, if he had any broken bones, or anything. Just took him home with no thought to his medical condition.

Okay, yeah, a world full of monsters means orphans are pretty common. But the fact that he watched it happen is what makes this so bad. A kid isn't going to sit there and watch, he's going to close his eyes and listen. His mind can do enough conjuring for itself, he doesn't need to actually see it.

The relationship part is because it explains how they think a bit more, and how they interact with people they have built relationships with.

Again, with the cutting parts off him. How bad do you think the discrimination against faunus is? Literally nothing in the show shows that anyone would cut parts of a Faunus simply out of discrimination - heck, it's even implied that the White Fang are kind of exagerating the situation. It's like the African-American vs White American situation at most, really. They were refused basic rights, people refused to interact with them and called them names, and the most that happened was someone got shot, or another person got bashed. But they never tortured each other, which is what the cutting of the ears would do.

The age again. You said he was 14 when he started travelling, so I took that as the minimum age he could be like a logical person would, which means he would be 17. Plus two thirds of year, plus four years of training with Dust like you said, makes him 21 at minimum.

Oh wow. Sounds cool. Worst reason ever to decided something like that. Also, I am not the only person to say something; in case you didn't notice, Phantom said it as well. I think that pretty much sums up the fact that a few of us would be petty enough to point out the logical problems with your character's design.

Are you telling me you started making this character absolutely ages ago, and then didn't even bother updating him after more information came out? I thought that was what any fanfiction author would do; update his characters so that they actually fit in the world he is writing them for. Well, I'm sorry for being up to date on the information about the world of Remnant because I am interested in the show beyond, "Meh. Kinda cool."

If the bleeding thing was because RT didn't want to scare the kid, they wouldn't have bothered with making a big deal out of the disintegration thing in the Red Trailer. They would have just left it as a special effect from when Ruby cut the Beowolves with her scythe, not shown the dead Beowolf disnitegrating, ad not shown any other dead critter disintegrating after either. Kids see much worse than a couple of dead, non-humanoid body parts laying around these days through media, even without blood. The fact is that they have shown that Grimm disintegrate for a reason, and it is a logical step that everything about them disintegrates, including blood, because they are not normal creatures. They don't have normal physiology. Therefore, they don't leave behind big pools of blood for people to scoop up.

If you don't want feedback on your character on how to make it fit with the parametres of the show and not make a Gary Stu, why the heck did you post it here and not over on the fanon site? Logic, people.
