Personality
Not much can be said about Slate due to being a mute, but it seems that he has little confidence as he often stays back, until spoken to. He seemed to ignored despite knowing what to do. He the most undervalued member of Team JBBS, but it comes in handy. Being a mute, he has learned to limit any breathing noise he makes and easily gets by undetected as if he blends in with the background. Even more, is that he can easily get into an enemy's blind spot and make use of his amp gloves.

Amp Gloves
Slate's 'Amp Gloves' could be easily called the weapon of a Banshee due to it relying on DUST that is used to project objects, but instead, it makes use of it by creating a sound that can easily send opponents flying, deafen them and on the rare occasion cut their bodies up. It's best for distractions, but even more so to weaken an opponent from behind.

Strengths
Slate's greatest strength lies in his ability to blend in and conceal most sounds he produces. He becomes one with his surroundings and uses it to navigate around often getting close to his prey without being noticed.

Weaknesses
Slate not being able to communicate vocally causes much grief and trouble with his teammates that it even becomes a gag. In many cases, he may know the best info, but with no voice, he cannot communicate it to his team leaving them baffled and confused.

Bio
Slate was an orphan boy with no parents and often moving home to home. He learned not to depend on adults and took to the streets where he made use of his silence even to his gain from things he saw. Soon enough, he stole a weapon and used it to profit, until engaging Professor Ozpin who offered him a position in the school to make use of his talents.
