◾Semblance: Mind's Eye, with eye contact Kelly can read surface thoughts, with sustained eye contact, longer than thirty seconds, he begins to delve deeper into his target's mind, which causes him to be unable to move other than to remove his gaze from his target to break the connection, he recieves all information the same way the person he's reading thinks, for instance if a person thinks in pictures Mind's Eye gives Kelly his target's thoughts as images, if the target thinks in words, Kelly hears their thoughts, surface thoughts are literally whatever is running through the target's head at that exact moment
◾Fighting style: Fast and brutal, Kelly shoots most enemies, either with bullets or Dust, as necessary, but when he needs to fight at melee range he gets up close and personal with his knives, he uses his Semblance to give himself an edge on individual opponents and aims to end any fight as fast as possible

◾Notes: Kelly is a shade of green, his nickname came from the fact that when he was working as a criminal he'd worn a mask and jester hat and acted in an unpredictable manner during business deals in order to conceal his identity, most of the people who hired him don't know his real identity, so they just use the name he gave them for the purpose of the deal: Green, or his nickname

I'm not really sure why the cylinders on Bloody Grin are a problem, care to explain?
Kelly isn't a criminal type as you put it, he used to be a criminal, but he's dedicated himself to being a Huntsman now, I can't really take that out of his backstory without a major overhaul of the character as a whole
