Didn't Monty say that Semblances are semi-genetic and semi-enviorment determined?

I also think it's possible for semblances to be the similar but function/manifest differently. Take a look at Blake and Sun's semblances for example. They both have a clone based ability but Blake's clones are more for distracting/confusing an oppenent while Sun's are like explosive tags. They are cleary the same 'class' but they function differently. I understand that semblances are unique to the individual but I find it really hard to believe that Ruby is the only one in Beacon let alone history to have a speed semblance, or that Weiss and possibly her family are the only Glyph user because that puts a huge limit on other huntsmen or if your trying to make an OC team.

In short, perhaps  semblances have a class type depending on they're used. Maybe there are other glyph users besides Weiss with different effects.
