2-with incorporated gun.

3-I may be overly worried and walking on eggshells,

4-but I am very worried about presenting a badly done character. 1-First of all, the Katars are not "arm-mounted". Second of all, they are completely different from Gauntlets either way.

I seriously think you are confusing Katars with Patas, which are actually gauntlets (gauntlet-swords to be precise).

2-Like almost every weapon in RWBY?

3-Yes you are.

4-Follow The Centipede's Dilemma: If you think too hard on how to do X, you're going to overcomplicate yourself and make a mess. Don't think too hard on it.

Besides, a character needs more than a vaguely-similar weapon, hairstyle and hair color for a character to be a "rip-off" of another character, or at least "badly done". There's still parts like Backstory, Fighting style, Semblance, Personality.
