And about the "Ray losing his arm" part, his father was a renowned scientist who wanted to make a few tests on his son and his (at the time) unstable semblance, which cost Ray an arm. Even if his dad buildt him a new one with a semblance stabilizer, he and his moter left (for obvious reasons). ...What? Unstable Semblance? Semblance stabiliser?

Now I know you're making stuff up. We haven't seen anything that suggests semblances are ever unstable, nor anything to suggest stabilisers are a thing. We don't even know if semblnaces are changable from an early age; but we do know that once your aura is unlocked it is set in stone. No ifs, buts or maybes. Your semblance is a manifestation of your aura. Once you unlock your aura, your base semblance never changes, it's not unstable, and semblance stabilisers are not a thing.

I don't mind if his father was doing experiment to try to see if he can determine Ray's semblance before it's unlocked, to see if it is changable before unlocking Ray's aura, which leads to Ray losing an arm and his father being forced to unlock his aura, but his semblance wouldn't be unstable. And personally, unless you want to declare AU (which I'm assuming you're doing anyway because of the city he lives in and the like) I wouldn't say if his father ever figured it out before they left.
