~Due to BRTE500's status as a Chat Moderator, not a Reviewer/Administrator, page needs Re-reviewing~

His name is listed as Dice, but that's just a nickname he assumed when he turned 20. His real name isn't listed anywhere on the page.

In addition, his backstory poses a few contradictions in his personality and behaviors. He was raised by his villiage with the belief that through combat, one finds their center and achieves peace. But the character himself is brash, abrasive and confronting. His millitary training would also likely be an attempt to give him a sort of discipline as well, but the character doesn't seem to reflect this.

And even with both of these, he has an uncontrollable rage trigger whenever he loses his keepsake. There's no logical rhyme or reasoning behind this occuring, and his entire life seems to be tooled around combat, but combat done in a highly disciplined and controlled manner. He has an unbreakable will during tortures and interrogations, but loses everything when he can't find his dice.

It just makes a tonne of contradictions in his behaviors, with no real reasoning or explaination as to why. They just ARE.

Moving onto his weapons, his dagger is overpowered, capable of "punching through armor".

His other weapon, the shotgun, is decently done, but lacks some form of close ranged combat. Given the nature of RWBY, and that we know Weapons act as conduits of their wielders Aura, close range combat hasn't died with the invention of the bullet. And infact, we've seen characters who's high-powered rifles and machineguns do very little damage to things that are easily cleaved into pieces from bladed attacks. This is likely caused by when weapons are acting as Conduits of the users Aura, their strength, durability, and cutting power is amplified, but since this requires a connection to the user like holding it, or onto strings or ribbons attached to the weapon, bullets and other projectiles are not offered this same enhancement.

We havn't seen any RWBY characters who posess two different distinct weapons, beyond a Sword and Shield combination. They either have one weapon, or multiple copies of the same weapon, but in both cases, they posess all the forms and functions the user needs within one frame. Going against this theme starts to go against the theme and style of RWBY.

Moving onto his abilities. A shotgun isn't exactly the item to "fire at the enemies weak points with precise accuracy".

In addition, Semblances of a sensory enhancing nature arn't known to be canon. Semblances are abilities that blend together with the Hunter or Huntresses weapons, dust usage, and other abilities to create one singular fighting style. I'd suggest looking at http://rwbyfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Semblances_and_your_OC_-_A_Guide for ideas and more of an elaboration on how this is accomplished.

Due to all the above, Rejected.
