I always thought having a badass male character self-teaching himself how to use a double-ended scythe (albeit smaller than Ruby's) that splint into to allowing to dual wield with hand-cannon like ends would be pretty cool. It IS possible to slef-teach as apparentally only Qrow can effectively use a scythe other than Ruby and there is no mention of anyone training him so it would be interested. You could even add that his semblence could be being able to propel force from his scythes allowing him to create a protective force field whilst they are planted into the ground and throw his opponents with balls of each propelled from his scythe's blades. Though that last bit may be a over the top (not fucking likely given explosive shotgun gauntlets, giant hammer love cannon and super elemental rapier of doom)

Another idea I had was having a dual-dagger wielder, each dagger unique in that one increase his speed and strength and one change the kind of element it attacks depending on their modes through a similar mechanic as Myrtenaster. As for a ranged attack, I would just say "whack a gun on the end of it" but that kind of weapon/gun combo is already in use by Blake, so perhaps also make him a dust-reliant sorcerer possibly being able to channel his weapon's abilities as his semblance?
