Neptune is a ‘transfer student’ from Haven Academy, another combat school in the universe of Remnant. Out there, magical powers are usually called Semblances. Neptune’s Semblance isn’t terribly flashy, or indeed that noticeable at all; it’s an uncanny ability to predict the movement paths of bullets, knives, swords, and other weapons. Compared to some other Semblances like pyrokinesis or detonating clones, he sees it as kinda lame. However, it does mean that he’s really good with his weapon. Said weapon is a highly technical instrument, able to transform between an energy gun, a trident, and a guan dao, and mainly uses blue electricity to power its attacks. The trident and guan dao forms can also be electrified, but in Galactica, this only works when he's transformed. Out of costume, the trident and guan dao are just regular polearms, and the gun is totally useless.
Another aspect of the AU, which hasn’t been confirmed or denied in canon, is that Neptune is a humanoid creature called a Faunus with physical traits like a fish’s. He has gills on his torso and blue scaly patches on his arms and legs. However, Neptune goes to great lengths to hide this, mainly due to a crippling phobia of water among other reasons.
