on the subject of the weapons: Rise can be used at short range (15 foot maximum range with power decrease for every foot past ten) by creating elemental blasts, Fall is also a short range weapon, it contains fifty nine milimeter rounds loaded in a similar method to Ember Celica's rounds.

I can't see how Inferno and Blizzard are OP, even with Violet's Semblance being Polarity, the chains are ten feet long, and in order to avoid exhausting herself Violet tends to only use a small amount of her aura to activate the Dust, all she normally does with them are create a small explosion to increase the force of Inferno's impacts, or encase a three foot square area in ice with Blizzard, she could do more, but her control of Dust sucks so actually attempting more than basics would likely use a large portion of her aura, and her Semblance isn't as powerful as Pyrrha's, she can't do anything complicated with her Polarity, so anything more than pulling the weights in a single direction at a time is beyond her

Alex's guns are certainly too big, this is easily solved by having the staff split into two then have the ends of the staff fold inward to create normal length barrels, rather than leaving them oversized

and I guess thanks for the props on Gentleman's Guardian

On the subject of character interactions: I'm fine with the fic going a separate way from the main storyline eventually, since I inserted not just VOAJ but an original villain (Onyx's Uncle) as well and his plans will most certainly derail any attempts on my part to keep the canon storyline pure, so I'm not worried about my storyline being diverted from canon since to my mind, my OC villain alone makes that unavoidable, so going with friendships and romantic relationships that have no possibilty of being canon are a more or less small concern compared to "do they make sense in the fanfic?" I will of course keep as close as I feel I can, but I'm not concerning myself with trying not to change the future of the canon storyline, as the characters I added make keeping exactly to it impossible, just how I look at it, you're welcome to disagree at your disgresssion
