Well, Probably that's the point of the contest, to have a character that appears solely in a minor role, without taking time from the show to develop the character. It might be something like the Kurt Zisa Boss Battle in Kingdom Hearts, where a contest winner got the boss named after him.

So, the RWBY Crew might have the flesh and soul for a character in one chapter, and the contest is to find it a skin (O.o ... Damm, that got really dark). Though we might have to wait for the contest to be up to know what are the rules.
