Weapon:

"Gear Cyclone"

Gear Cyclone is a 1.7 meters long wrench with a symmetrical head built in the same style as crescent rose. The other end of Gear Cyclone is a circle with black gears on the inside.

Jet uses Gear Cyclone in several ways:

He uses it in normal mode as a bashing weapon, swinging with all his power and using the momentum created by the swing to deliver heavy blows.

He uses the circle down to stop his swings by quickly changing their direction.

He also can use the ring to swing Gear Cyclone around his hand, creating a rapid saw, which he mainly uses when Gear Cyclone is in D-Axe mode.

In D-Axe mode, two blades emerge from Gear Cyclones head, turning it into a double heavy Axe (D-Axe=Double Axe).

In this mode he uses mainly slashing attacks as before, only now his momentum is less controllable, turning him into a destructive, uncontrollable cyclone of death.

The head can close and open to allow him to grab stuff with it.

He also uses the head to stab and quickly turn it, catching the enemy's weapon and disarming him of it.

History:

Jet made an early version of Gear Cyclone from scraps, and when he enrolled into beacon, seeing the state if his weapon, Ozpin offered him materials to polish it, which created the final version.

Semblance:

His semblance is in the shape of a gear, if the gear was missing a wrench head in the middle.

He can generate extremely small electrical currents that allow him to jump start machines.

Back story:

He was an orphan, living in the streets. Once he was 8, He started taking care of the other children in the streets, living in a junkyard.

He would work at a nearby workshop, and barely earned enough money to survive.

Seeing him works so hard, coming back home with a tired, sad look on his face as he couldn't provide them what he wanted, the other children decided to try earn some money, but due to their young age and ragged look, no one wanted to hire them. Finally, they met someone that offered them money in exchange for any dust they could get their hands on. He gently pushed them in the direction of stealing dust, and managed them. But one day, they went stealing from a local dust mine when a Beowulf appeared in the area, and running from him, they collapsed the mine.

Jet had been suspicious of his groups disappearances the past few weeks and decided to follow them that day. But as he saw them enter the mine, he understood what they have been doing. He watch's from afar as the Beowulf comes, at their screams, he cries loudly, trying to warn them, tears down his eyes as he sees the Beowulf crash into a beam and collapse the mine.

He runs to their aid, but after digging for a while, only finds one child alive, his body half crushed by a boulder. As he cries, the child informs him that they did all this so he wouldn't cry, so he wouldn't be sad anymore. The child gives him with his last power a small wrench they managed to buy and wanted to give him for his birthday. Then he dies..

Jet cries a lot, and is shaken up by this, but after working for hours, clearing the rubble and burying his friends, he vows to not let anyone see him sad again.

By this time, the Weiss corporation, which owned said abandoned mine, arrives, and seeing the damage and seeing how a lone child cleared the mine, they decide to employ him as a worker, and even make a monument for the children who died.

For that, he is eternally grateful for the Schnee corporation and has a deep respect for Weiss.

He spends the next few months working the mine and quickly gets promoted to handle their machines as the head engineer sees his talent.

He spends his time the next few years slowly building  Gear Cyclone from scraps, training using it by himself, aiming to become a hunter and fight the Grimm, so no one would have to lose a loved one to them.

He met Umber on his way to beacon and quickly befriended him.
