I had his religion being a factor, as people view those who've unlocked their Aura and Semblance are considered "angeli terreni" (earthly angels), people God have hand chosen to fight Grimm (who are considered to be demons or evil spirits), hence why he'd become a Huntsman, seeing it as almost a divine privilege to become one. When you said "Halberd Rifle, I'm seeing it happening one of a few ways. When you mentioned that the hook is the trigger, that means to me that the only ways to hold it that allows you to fire the weapon by pulling that trigger are holding it near the axe head with the axe head up or holding it with the axe head down. Based on the length distribution of the handle (with most of the shaft being, you know, below the axe head) I had assumed that the bottom of the handle was the gun barrel, giving you a roughly 5 foot gun barrel and meaning the axe head is right in front of your face, which makes it hard to aim down any form of sight.

And as many people have mentioned, that may not be too great of a philosophy for a family to have. I'd consider Aura more of a skill that can be worked at and improved. While you might be able to give him a talent for certain skills and he could credit divinity with that talent, saying that Aura is a God-given privilege means he may have a crisis when he sees that a) there's presumably a class in Aura at the preliminary combat school and b) that just about everyone at the upper division school has their Aura unlocked as well.

@Shiyilang I'll get to your character soon, just give me some time to read it over.
