weapon: the gauntlets can be resized, you know. given how potent dust is as an eplosive,  I feel like you would need a lot less dust than you would need gunpowder to propel a bullet of equivalent size at the same velocity

dust usage:one of the most decisive factors in my AU is that the white fang aren't as millitant, the dust robberies? maybe 1/3rd as severe if that, so the price of dust isn't quite as high. not to mention his surrogate father is a dust mage, any dust Kalte uses (mostly while training) probably comes from Rost's supply or is paid for by Rost.

aura:A person's personality is more-or-less set by the time they're 13. some changes can occur(usually in relation to peer interaction), but in the cases of someone experiencing a great personal loss (like their parents dying) they tend to mature a bit faster. in Kalte's case, he sort of. well. FROZE when his parent's died, he barely functioned for several months (something similar happened to a friend of mine, his dad died and he pretty much just shut down for a year and a half.) in Kalte's case, that trauma had a permanent effect on his personality and as a result his semblance, he didn't shut down for nearly as long, but the damage was done and he shut out most of the world, with the primary exceptions of Rost and his aunt.
