Rekaigan — Roleplayer Guild

She's not actually cold blooded, and she has venomous snake slit pupils. She doesn't have the extra skin layer that most reptiles have in their eye lid.

Her upper body clothing is very much like this. Sure it might be a little warm, but not to the point of overheating.
Yes, when I said sling box I meant sling ammunition bag that you mentioned.

I'll change up her backstory so that it's more suitable. Her symbol was actually unchanged from her first iteration and I forgot to change it.

I actually have a new idea for her weapon, which I'll post on the Original weapons forum in a while after I tinker about with it. 

I'll be back with an update at some point today.

EDIT: Are there any problems with the Semblance? Or is it okay to leave it that way?

3) Characteristics:

Background: Layla was born into a family of weaponsmiths, based in outskirts of Vale, who provided the White Fang with armaments for their operations. In return, the family was paid in money and a percentage of dust that had been seized on an given venture. Her family, despite being Faunus and associates with the White Fang, didn’t actually like the White Fang at all. This was purely a business venture to ensure the survival of their family. Layla’s grandmother was the one who taught Layla how to create weapons from scratch, her very first creation being the shotgun which we all know and love. Not long after Layla had turned 12, her grandmother was taken away by the White Fang and executed due to suspicions of revolt. In her sadness, Layla fled to the city of Vale, only to stowaway on a boat which lead straight to Signal academy. Signal permitted her to stay and train there until she was able to be accepted into Beacon.

Personality: Layla can be described as a ‘absentminded’, since she has a tendency to misplace things and she has a lack of concentration, especially when it comes to academic work. She tends to daydream causing her to lose focus on her school work, so her grades aren’t that great. However, when she enters combat, she’s a very focussed individual. She procrastinates a lot when she has homework to do, because it’s just so boring to her. She favors practical work rather than mental. In social interactions, she tends to segway into different topics, unless it’s about her inventions. Despite her being inattentive in her school work, she likes to draw blueprints for different weapon ideas and tinker with her current projects, which are usually things like automated drones, most of them being weaponized. She also enjoys sharing said drones with other people.

Likes: Warm things (The sun, heat lamps, people with good blood circulation, etc), Firework displays.
Dislikes: Rain, cold things (of course), Nevermores

4) Weapon

Name: Shelly
Maker/Smith: Layla Samara
Type: SA-RVS (Semi Automatic-Reinforced Vented Shotgun.)
Weapon Derivation: The shotgun shares its appearance with a Flintlock Musket
Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Slung on her shoulder, hanging vertically with a leather strap.

Form 1: Shotgun (The shotgun has no stock and is used with one hand.)
Form 2: Dust Vented blunt weapon.

Features/Capabilities: The shotgun uses dust ammunition. Layla can activate an exhaust vent in the barrel of the shotgun using a switch, when she uses it as a melee weapon. This vent will expel the dust element of given ammunition in a violent burst when Layla pulls the trigger. Layla can also hold down the trigger to concentrate the power of her shot, but this will use more dust than a regular shot.
Usage:  Used as a shotgun or a dust enhanced cudgel
Planned/Possible Upgrades: -
Notes: The shotgun was named after her (Now deceased) grandmother.

5) Semblance:

Name: Shift
User(s): Layla Samara
Type: Physical
Purpose: Utility
Short description: Directional change
Visual effect: It would show up as Dark blue ripple effect beneath her feet.
General limitations: She cannot do this to anyone or anything else, other than herself. This uses a lot of stamina, so it must be used sparingly. She can only use this when she's on the ground.
Passive ability(s) (if any): Enhanced balance
Active ability(s) (if any): She can change directional movement of her body regardless of her current directional momentum.

Dust interaction (if any): None

6) Combat info:

Position/Class: Frontline/Assault
Landing strategy: Use the gun grip to hook onto a tree branch and swing off, or use a concentrated shotgun blast to soften landing.
Fighting style: Layla mostly engages at close to mid range, allowing full use of her shotgun’s range. She is quite adept at melee combat, using her shotgun as a melee weapon.

7) Trivia:

Relationships: -
Notes: 
Her name (Layla) means Night in Arabic
She has actually made a few weapons, but they were left at Signal for new students to test out.
