His green eyes are only shaded by his long white hair and has brown marking under his eyes which he painted on himself. Wearing a black shirt covered with a brown and green jacket, he blends into the woods quite well. His forearms are covered in black bracers made of leather and he wears a green ring around his right wrist. His jacket gets overlapped by a brown belt with a single small brown satchel, usually filled with either leaves or medicines. He also sometimes wears a quiver around his back as well for his arrows.

History:
The Legend of the Horned Guardian:
Legends speak of a man; a man tall as a tree, with antlers sprouting from his head like branches that roams the deepest parts of the Emerald Forest. Many have claimed to see this man. Some have returned from their hunt telling stories of a tall antlered man, carrying a staff, taking care of the forest by fighting off Grimm and tending to the wounded animals. If approached, the man will no doubtly notice you and run away, sometimes disappearing in a tuff of leaves. Some other people have claimed to see animals roaming the forest; animals made of sticks and leaves. They act like normal animals but, just like the man, if approached they will run off in blinding speed or sometimes disappear in a pile of leaves. Unfortunately, some people do not return from their hunt. Some claim it is just the grimm that killed them, maybe they left to never come back, going to that school or the city, but some claim that this antlered man has gotten them and the leaved animals are the remnants of their lost souls. No one knows how this man came to be or where he came from, but if you are ever lucky enough to see him, you will know that this guardian of the forest is always watching...
Real Story of Doran:
Doran was born in a village not too far off from the Emerald Forest located directly across the forest from the prestigious Beacon Academy. The village was small when he was born and the villagers were not too fond of the faunus race due to an upcoming race war between the humans and the faunus of the village. In fear of Doran's unique faunus traits, his parents took refuge in the woods from the discrimination and the war. Unfortunately, Doran's father was called to go to the war and never returned, leaving a young Doran with his mother. Soon after his mother got very ill and died when Doran was merely 7 years old. Deciding to stay where he had lived his life. Doran began to learn the ways of the forest: tending to it, knowing the hiding spots and places for food, which gave him a good physique and knowledge in making herbal remedies for healing. Around the age of 24, Doran mastered his semblence and began overhearing from hunters in the woods about a legendary guardian of the forest. He figured out that the legend was about him, which brought him joy yet he did not return to bask in the legendary glory of being a guardian. He continued taking care of the forest and watched over it and its inhabitants, people and animals alike. He took special interest in the hunters in training from the school across the forest and their special semblences. He soon began learning of many ways aura can be used and soon became a self proclaimed Aura Master. His mastery was put to the test at the age of 37 when a young woman discovered his hidden location. She was blinded by burns and scars over her body as well as she just recently given birth but her baby was not to be seen. He began tending to her wounds. He realized she had a lot of power locked away in her aura and soon trained her in the ways of unlocking her aura and using it to "see" due to her sightloss. As she left to go and find her son, Doran continued to stay to this day where he hopes he may once again meet someone and learn from him as he he learns from them.
Personality: Doran is a kind spirit but can be mean and protective if his forest or any people are harmed. He does not approve of fighting between people unless training and he also does not approve of destruction of any kind. He is knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge but very reluctant on leaving his forest, afraid of how the world has changed over the years. Yet, he is fascinated at the new technologies the people he see have. He also has a tendency to be carefree, enjoying the freedom he has.
Strength: Knowledge of the forest he resides in. Skills of parkour (as seen like in Assassins Creed 3) in the forest at a tremendous speed (up to 40 mph) mostly due to momentum. Knowledgeable on aura and semblences and learns of their weakness quickly.
Weakness: Due to being in solitude for years, he is new to the style of multiform weaponry. His weapons dont have any dust abilities due to a lack of supply of dust crystals in the forest. Pacifistic, unless it is protecting the forest.
Semblance:
Leaf-Creations: Using his aura, Doran can combine leaves into a 3 dimensional clone or figure to assist him in battle and in life. Using his aura to change the color of the leaves, he can make a perfect copy of himself or anything (in usual cases, a deer as a scout), that can be easily defeated as it is made of fragile leaves. They cannot talk and burn easily in fire.
Most Common Creations:
A deer- for scouting, gathering when he himself is busy, transportation, and messenger. (limit 3)
A plain humanoid figure- as an assistant around his house and as a distraction. They are just plain figures like one of those posing art manikins made of leaves. (limit 5)
Himself- to get away from people chasing him or as an assistant in battle. (limit 2)
His other ability is that if he is in site of a leaf clone of himself, he can trade places with it to get out of danger of an attack, letting the clone take the damage. He has to be a few feet from the clone and they both have to be in motion for the switch to happen. If there are any object between the clone and him, the transfer wont happen.
WEAPON
Primary Weapon: Sirona- A 6'6" staff made from a trunk of a tree. It has no special abilities and is mostly used to hold himself up and for close range combat.
Spoiler:
Secondary Weapon: Vindonnus- a bow he made from the branches of the local trees and random gold parts he found after a battle in the wood between Hunters and Grimm. He mostly uses it for hunting game (apologizing to the animals as he kills them) and long distance battles to stay hidden. He also ties ropes to the end of his arrows and uses it to make bridges.
Spoiler:
History: Unaware of the evolution of weaponry over time, Doran made these simple yet elegant looking weapons out of the forest he vowed to protect.

(One of these days I'm going to convert you to Imgurism by the way)
Your history has a small problem. We don't ACTUALLY know when the Faunus/Human War happened, so if the show revealed that it was 200 years ago or just last week, you'd be in trouble! But there are plenty of other conflicts and wars, I'm sure.
With your semblance's last ability, I want you to add two things: a hard limit to the distance, and an addition of not being able to pass through solid objects because balance.
