Myron is a bit of a mix of personality cliches, yes - that's kind of the idea. He's not exaclty bi. That is, he's mostly straight, but he flirts with everyone. Him actually pursuing a relationship with another man is possible, but I will not be writing it as so. I'll probably do as you said with the revolver and semblance, but I mean more like telling someone's intent than telling the future (you know, that whole "killing intent" thing). The way I look at it, Anyone could use their Aura to detect someone or thing (Grimm) with the proper training; Myron just doesn't have to work as hard. The main thing is his ability to discern another person's semblance.

I may have miswrote my info for Jay. He is not supposed to be cold, just a bit distant, especially at first - a bit of a space-case, so to speak, and tends to like it that way. He is a bit racist in the beginning, though. Not understanding the Oni cliche comment; don't get the reference. I will remove the "devestating,"  it's mainly for knockbacks anyway.

Kayla is an orphan, so no, not abusive parents - she never really knew them. She lost her ears to something closer to street violence that would have been common against Faunus. Also, I did not mention this, but she can manifest her Aura in a way that makes it easier to apply to others' wounds, still draining her significantly, but allowing her to heal others significantly faster and easier than most. Dust-formed arrows would likely not be able to be recovered; given a minute to focus, Kayla can cause her arrows to deconstruct and rejoin her Aura (though still leaving her with slightly less than before). To be clear, she is not limited to making arrows from her semblance, it's just what she is best at, kind of like she didn't put skill points into much else.

I also do not understand the Shrinking Violet comment on Laerie; reference is lost on me it seems. The name is a bit emo - her backstory is, too. She nearly killed her parents accidentally, once, after all. She also has a bit of a thing for names that sound "cool-" she's a bit immature in some respects (should've mentioned that). Note, Laerie cannot do all these things at once, and when she stunlocks things, it's generally only one at a time, and it leaves her essentially helpless against attacks from any other source - and HELL NO she couldn't stun-lock a Goliath (at least not on her own). At best, maybe an Ursa, or perhaps a lone Deathstalker with Mastery.

Oh, and Laerie's not a lesbian - not exclusively. She ends up having an "it's complicated" relationship status with Kayla and Myron. That was not originally my idea, but an old friend of mine from highschool (now deceased in a hit-and-run, tragically) gave me the idea, and it stuck for some reason.
