fourth, weight should only include body weight, not armor ad weapons. Also, the heaviest armor kits (full plate) weigh MAYBE 60 Well I based that measurement around historical jousting armor (which was considered one of the heaviest plate armours). Since every one in RWBY has shown to have superhuman strength and speed,  to some extent, (probably due to Aura), I figured most armor smiths could get away with making bulkier armor.

fifth, eye color doesn't change that much over your life without serious damage being done.  Sixth, by the time you hit 17, most facial features are fully developed, unless he had a really messed up growth curve  seventh, hair color NEVER changes that much. (also, he sounds suspiciously like Geralt of Rivia in his later years)

Well most of these changes are based around Dust contamination which I explained above. But I'll keep your advise in mind.

Even the most obssesive family wouldn't unlock a childs aura that young. My character who had her aura unlocked the youngest was at three, but only to save her from a potentially fatal injury. He wasn't even trained as a warrior, so they would have left his Otherwise they wouldn't have even considered.  Brother trained in combat not knowing his semblance when the kid who shouldn't even have aura unlocked does is special snowflake incarnate.

Well I didn't really think there was an age specified in the show for when Aura is normally unlocked, plus I don't see there being any negative effects of unlocking Aura. So I figured the only reason that everybody doesn't unlock their Aura is because most people don't know about it (kind of like Jaune in the begining). Similarity those that do know about Aura would probably unlock it for their loved ones the first chance they get. If I change it to Aura Unlocked at 5 and Semblance dicovered at 8, does that make it better?

Swears never to use semblance again? Seen that movie, he goes back to using it for no real reason.

Well, there is supposed to really dire moment where he is forced to use his Semblance to help his tream survive but I didn't include it because thet background section was getting too long.

'killing the things that exist for the sole purpose of slaughtering human isn't honorable' Uh, yes it is. Kind of the whole 'my life for my people' thing that pretty much DEFINES honor.

Umm sorry for the confusion, what I was trying to say was that he realises that he doesn't have to fight the Grimm honorably. That is to say using sneak attacks/traps/dirty tricks against the Grimm does not make one a lesser Hunter.

We don't even know if Summer was a weapons expert. She may have been a mage type for all we know.  More importantly, why a cannon character rather than an OC?

Well I was actually going for summer being more mage based, that is why all the weapon improvements are Dust based (similar to how Wiess helped Blake with the dust cartirages). Also I was trying to give a similar relationship between team AMBR and TRQS as team RWBY and JNPR for the story I am writing.

Thanks for giving you opinion, I appreciate it. What to you guys think about the weapon/semblance. Is it well balanced?
