I'd like to argue that we've already seen people using their semblances in a multitude of ways. We've seen Weiss use her glyphs to double jump in the air, launch herself on the ground at a geater speed, hold Ruby in mid air, and create a path for Ruby to run up a wall. There's also Pyrrha who has used her magnetic powers both offensively, by controlling her spear to hit Jaune from a considerable distance (although she could be just that good), in a defensive way, to move Jaune's shield so that he didn't get hit, and to retrive her weapons from a short distance (seen in The First Step and in Players and Pieces). Finally we have Blake who has used her shadow clones to perform a double jump onto the Nevermore in episode 8, and used them extensively for offence and defence in her fight with Roman Torchwick in the season finalie.

I personally feel like my character's Shroud ability keeps in context with the series as of right now, because the main ability of the Shroud is to create a material that he manipulates differently as the situation calls. I'd also like to point out that the only offensive oriented ability at this time is the Long grab, and all of the other abilities (Grapnel, Glide, and the Claws) are focused primarily on movemen, and that there are no defensive abilities (like a shield) in his repertoire.

I'm willing to edit and modify my character again but before I do that I'd like to hear back from one of the moderators about what exactly makes his abilites out of cannon with the established series as of now. If it's simply that he uses his base ability to form the shroud material in too many ways I feel like I've provided sufficient evidence that semblances have been used multiple ways cannonly.
