First, I'm glad to see my extended stats template getting some use. :3

Second, those stats are a bit too close to close to OP. "5" would be the average stat for someone who is well-rounded and somewhat experienced in combat, like a police officer or common soldier, for example.

Third, the weapons are decently ... er, decent, but "''convergence gems"? ''I think that will kill them. There has been no mention of anything of the sort in RWBY thus far, after all - so unless you want to make his semblance able to manipulate his weapons somehow, you're probably going to have to rule out Force moving weapons.

Fourth, his semblance is decently well made, if slightly overdone, but photographic memory is unecessary and also overdone (imo).

Fifth, his personality is, well, boring. It's been done before. The helmet is funny, but that's about all he has going for him.

Sixth, his background. A bit of TL;DR on that one, work is busy sometimes after all, but... I noticed you have him working with Neo in his past. This is a bit of a red flag - be VERY careful with giving your characters any sort of history with canon characters, especially since we do not know much about most of their backgrounds (and know nothing about Neo in particular). That is to say, I would advise you not to do it at all unless it is very en-passant in nature.

Finally - his fighting style. Wait a minute - he's not a tank, but ALL his defense stats are higher than 5? Well, all his stats period are above five, so he's a bit much by default. In fact, the only weakness I see is his Dust attack. You describe him as a glass cannon, but give him high Aura (functioning as HP and MP as well as defense, essentially) and Parry/Block, so you may want to tweak that. Granted, stats are not that important for RP, but some people (like me) look at these things.

Alright, sorry for the wall - I hope I was not too harsh. Bear in mind that I am not an approving authority here, and their opinions may differ greatly from my own. Just a peer review. ;)
