I am pretty sure I am going with a human character that grew up on the streets, and got mixed up with wrong crowd, before coming to Beacon Academy. Her weapon is going to be a war-hammer that can turn into a semi-auto shogun. As for her semblance, I think it will be that she can store kinetic energy and release it in the form of a burst (AOE) or a concentrated powerful strike.
Reylan observed with brief satisfaction as the Wolfkin Guard fell to his guided arrow. That was one less threat that they needed to worry about and allowed Paralyze and his posse to strike the boss. By the time he turned his attention to the other Lycan, Alisea had already rushed forward into close combat. His heart felt like it shattered as he saw the Wolfkin Guard strike her, plummeting her HP bar lower and lower "Alisea!" He screamed out instinctively as the bar switched from green, to yellow, and finally red. A sliver of her bar remained. It took every ounce of his will power to push through the strong, sick feeling deep in his stomach "Karma, Alisea needs healing NOW!" He quickly ordered the healer, urgency clear in his voice. The hand now holding his bow tightened tightly into a fist as he gritted his teeth, his worry now combining with anger. That idiot... he thought to himself. If Alisea had taken just 20 more points of damage...the thought just made his anger that much stronger. It was not the time for this, he had others to worry about as well.
He had to put aside his feelings for the moment to turn his attention to the boss, who just cried out for its loss kin. A fierce determined look replaced all of the subtle insecurities that had been previously expressed on his face. Bring it on beast. You'll be reunited with them soon enough.. He held up his hand at the intense light that emanated from Fenrir's Herald, dropping it as the boss emerged with new-found strength. Reylan did not falter in the face of this new danger, the scare from Alisea nearly dying had steeled his nerves for the moment. Rage boiled underneath his calm surface, rage at Alisea for making such a foolish attack and rage at the Wolfkin Guard for nearly taking something away from him, all this concentrated anger culminated in a firm resolve against the boss. His silver eyes scanned his comrades scattered across the battlefield doing a quick assessment of their statuses. He should have payed more attention to the boss, if he did he might have been able to react to the flying paladin currently on collision course with him.
The weight of Dirk and his plate armor toppled the archer onto this back, slamming him against the hard ground letting out a quiet sound of pain. A dazed glance at his HP bar told him he had taken 15 HP of damage, though the impact felt like more than that. Reylan recovered quickly and rose to his feet, making sure that Dirk got up as well "We need you back in there, Dirk. Get his attention any way you can. You are the Legion's shield remember!" He had been inclined to make a joke about Dirk's weight, but figured the situation demanded greater attention. With the full force of the Legion of the Wolf now bearing down upon it, Fenrir's Herald would know absolute defeat "Right, it's time to finish this." He spoke quietly to himself, the only ones who might've be able to hear it were Dirk and Dubstepp.
A quick crack of his neck and he was ready to get this ordeal over with "Wolves! It is time to show what we're made of!" Reylan called out with vigor, there was no way in hell they were leaving anyone behind "Paralyze get in as close as you can and bust its head in. Dirk and Polak, keep it bogged down and focus on blocking its attacks! Solace and Aster, press the offensive and knock it off balance! Chari and Shiba, work together and start doing hit-and-runs! Lehariel, fall back and focus on spell casting!" There was a difference in his voice, his tone more assured of the orders he gave "Dub and Alissea, keep striking from range!" The boss had a preference for doing damage to magic users, so even though Lehariel could deal damage up close it was dangerous to do so "Karma, heal up Chari and anyone who falls bellow 500 HP." He did not need to yell with Karma being so close, with the unpredictability of the boss...they couldn't afford to fall below that margin if they wished to be safe.
In the end, there was no way for Reylan to make them follow his orders as of yet. He simply had to hope they listened and that his orders were the right ones. That was enough thinking for now, he needed to contribute as well to end this quickly. He felt like he was getting quicker retrieving the arrows from his quiver, but that might have just been his perception, as he loaded the first arrow in. This first shot he aimed carefully and released, praying that some archery god would help him out here. This went the same way for the second and third shots, he was holding off on his last 100 points of mana for a guided power shot for guaranteed damage should this assault not take him down. It was difficult as it was trying to hit the monster when he was moving so quickly.
After this ordeal was done with and the rewards from the dungeon given out, Reylan needed to to spend a day decompressing and relaxing. The others could simply get lost in the excitement of combat but he had to keep track of anyone else and worry about their status. For a person with anxiety, this was a very taxing ordeal. Everyone deserved some R&R after this victory, even if he was getting ahead of himself.

I think it is a fair solution to, as @Achronum said, move things along if a person hasn't posted within the time frame. I think it is fine if someone is unable due to make a proper but they, in failing to do so, forfeit any special interactions they might have had in that event.
They were doing this. The Legion of the Wolf was fighting their first boss and from what Reylan could tell, they were winning. That realization did nothing to soothe the absolute sick feeling he had deep in his stomach, as if a single morsel of food would make him throw-up his entire lunch. His very skin felt uncomfortable at the moment but he was not going to let these hindrances stop him, not this time. Reylan cringed as Fenrir's Herald smashed into Polak, bringing him down below 50% of his max HP. A small amount panic and urgency shocked through him to get Polak back into fighting shape. That was when out of nowhere, a third previously unknown player appeared seemingly out of the blue.
Her bubbly attitude and over-flowing energy took Reylan out of his concentration for a moment, the newcomer quickly eclipsing Dirk's enthusiasm. A quick shake of his head snapped him out of wondering where this girl came from and back to the real issue at hand. There was a part of him that felt envious of the other's ability to fight up-close, but Reylan knew that being a mid-to-long range attacker allowed him to give better orders. His silver eyes scanned the battlefield once more as he mentally kept track of everyone's numbers and constructed his next set of commands. They couldn't let up yet.
The guild-leader cleared his throat before issuing out his orders "Karma, get Polak and the new girl healed up right away!" Nothing else was as urgent as their health, especially if they were going to be fighting on the front-lines. "Paralyze and Solace, flank Fenrir's Herald from the right! Shiba give him a back-stab! I'll take care of the Lycan!" He shouted across the battlefield, there had to be a better method of giving out orders but he hadn't the time to figure it out now. Different from before, Reylan quickly notched an arrow in his bow and let the projectile fly towards the Wolf-kin Guard on the right, utilizing both his Power Shot action and his Sharp Eye passive. There was no room to miss this time "Polak and Chari, finish him off then go after the Herald! Lahariel, please give them a hand!" He had taken the time to look at her name, it would be tedious to keep calling her 'new girl'. All that was left was Dub and Alisea, both whom he expected were eager to start working on the boss "Alisea and Dub, bring your fire-power down on the boss. Give him any de-buffs you got! Keep totoro on the guard Dub." That only left Aster and Dirk, who had done a very great job of mostly keeping the boss from interfering with the others "Aster and Dirk, just keep it up! Dirk, you shield Aster and let her do the majority of attacking!" With Dirk on defense and Aster on offense, they made a scary duo.
A gut feeling told him that it wasn't going to simply get much easier once the guards were dealt with. Bosses in games nowadays often had different phases, something that Reylan was actually waiting for. It time he started chipping at the boss's HP bar himself so he raised his bow once more, sliding another arrow onto the taut string and pulled back with all his force. His left hand held the arrow and his right held the bow, his right eye closing so he could line up the shot better. Finally he released the arrow, the feathered fletching blowing in the wind. He hoped that the power shot would land, these enemies had proven themselves far more than capable of dodging their attacks. He wasn't about to let up so he loaded two more arrows and fired them both in succession with an overly serious look in his eyes.
Polak's health drop had scared him greatly at the time. It wasn't just because his bar got very low, it was also because he made the realization that he might be faced with a situation in the future where he would have to decide who lives and who dies. He deeply hoped that he would never have to make a choice like that. Reylan didn't even know if he could ever make that decision. His feelings were very similar to Dirks. All the people that were here fighting beside him...he wanted to protect all of them and make sure they live through this. Simply by fighting together through these past days, he felt a connection to each of them. Life here would not feel the same with one missing.
