The risks seem rather great to me aswell. I'd rather stay alive.

Ok, here's an idea for another character. One of my best friends is a minor RWBY fan, and thus, after I was done the greatsword-railgun concept for myself, I decided to make a character/weapon/semblance combo based off him.

Weapon: As he's going into the military (and is very 'Murican!!), he has mentioned to me on several instances his fondness for the M4. Thing is, he also throws hand-axes (Tomahawks). Well, imagine this - the stock of the M4 folds into a blade, while the foregrip, standard grip, and magazine fold into a handle, making it a, you guessed it, Tomahawk. Furthermore, he has a magizine of blanks, so that he can lock down the trigger, throw the axe, and the force from the fully automatic fire will essentially turn it into a flying buzzsaw.

Semblance: My friend just wanted to be a better fighter in every way - so let's use Combat Reflexes. This semblance allows a character to burn a little aura to "slow down time". It doesn't actualy slow down time, but it hightens the persons reflexes to where they percieve things as moving slower.

Here's an example - Remember when Pyrrha fought Merc, and there was a slo-mo sequence where she blocked his kick with her forearm? The Semblance would cause everything to be like that when activated. It wouldn't improve their physicality in any way, but they could use it to react to things that they would otherwise miss, to block what would otherwise hit them, to hit an opening they wouldn't be able to normally. Of course, it drains your aura the more you use it, so he can't fight like that for extended periods.
