-Do I really use that so much? The "going missing" part? I am aware I murder them left and right like Jack the Ripper. Though that's because I prefer stories that lean more towards the cynical side, and character death works for almost everything. Drama, Horror, and my-so-beloved Black Comedy, among others.

I write every character less like writing an OC and more like writing a story, so there's that. If it pleases you, I do have stories with no character deaths (not at the end anyway). I just don't use them here. Don't feel the need to.

-I thought that people used bullets with Dust, but not all of them used Dust itself as bullets. Ruby's bullets in R-Trailer certainly didn't look like Dust, yet the "Megido Bullets" still left out a dark flash on impact. Well, it works for you. But remember you're writing for the judge to judge, not for you. Just some things to note. I'm not telling you to stop, in any way whatsoever. Just don't rely too much on it to seal the backstory. Reliance on one way to tell a story can stifle creativity if done long enough.

There's a specific kind of Dust designed to be used as bullets. Those are called Dust Rounds according to Roman in Ep 1 of Volume 2.

And based on the DVD commentary of Volume 1, Ruby does fire Dust Rounds. Her Gravity Rounds are likely elemental Dust.

Most likely there's a non-elemental Dust that's being used to create bullets.
