Well, I've got three OCs with names, two teams and a complete OC. Let's put him up here.

1) Basic info: 2) Appearance: 3) Characteristics: (Prepare for the Berlin Wall of text) 4) Combat info: 5) Trivia:
 * Name: Taranis (No last name due to circumstances of Birth. Taranis is the name of a celtic gofd of thunder worshipped in Gaul, Gallaecia, Britain and Ireland)
 * Team/occupation: Team BSLT (Pronounced "Basalt")
 * Species: Half-Faunus (I know, I know, shoot me)
 * Age: 14 by Volume 1 (Basically same age as Ruby)
 * Sex: Male
 * Handedness: Ambidextrous
 * Aura/Effects: Consistently in flux due to indecision and forgetfulness of writer
 * Symbol: See above
 * Physical traits: On the right side of his face is a Wolf-like ear and a canine fang, on the left side he appears perfectly human.
 * Misc traits: None as of yet
 * Nickname(s): 'Hooded Justice'
 * Height: I don't usually bother with this when making a character. If someone would like to give him one, go ahead.
 * Weight: See above.
 * Eyes: Left eye is human and blue, right eye is wolf-like and yellow/golden
 * Face:
 * Hair: Half is black, the other half either yellow or orange, depending on my final decision.
 * Physique: Slim, pale, athletic.
 * Combat Outfit: Black hood and trenchcoat with a mask that covers his jaw and right eye; on the left eye is a red scouter.
 * Casual Outfit: Will probably be taken out shopping for it by one of the girls.
 * Personality: He doesn't appear to trust anyone, and could be described as "cold hearted" upon first meeting him, however, he can be reckless and has a tendency to randomly save people, using his hood and mask to cover his identity. Despite this, he is not a hero, nor a villain. He is not above exploiting and even hurting innocents if it draws out his rival, Caerulus (other OC). In spite of this, even though he is probably the definition of "Mysterious Swordsman", his cold personality is due to his background and how he was raised. He does have a soft side; specifically, in the words of those unexplained rock trolls in Frozen: "His isolation is confirmation of his desperation for healing hugs" (shoot me again). He has never actually been hugged in his entire life, let alone had any physical contact, unless it was perhaps abusive.
 * Background: The cause for his cold exterior starts with his conception. He was born in a lesser kingdom that was overrun by Grimm ten years prior to RWBY. This kingdom still used system of monarchy, and his mother was Queen (she has a placeholder name, but I'm not going to use it here). However, his father was not her husband, the King. She had hated her husband for a while and found herself finding common ground with a Faunus. Eventually, this illicit relationship led to her becoming pregnant and giving birth to a son; Taranis. Taranis was put in an ordinary school and the King was told that his 'third child' was stillborn. However, Taranis recieved heavy amounts of bullying in this school, from Humans and Faunus alike. It got to the point where the Human and Faunus kids all came together to make him feel like more of an outcast. The Queen, when she heard about this, took him out of education immediately and raised him herself. After the kingdom fell, she put her plan into action, slowly turning Taranis into an anti-Caerulus, the eldest child of the King. Caerulus and his sister, Rain, were the only thought survivors of that kingdom. However, Taranis wasn't boarded up in some tower, he was aloud to leave freely as long as he came back. He used this time to anonymously help people, and by the time Ruby was accepted to Beacon, he had become something of a n Urban Legend; the public and the media had dubbed him 'Hooded Justice'. Many theories of Hooded Justice's true identity began to circle, some claiming he's an Ex-Hunter, some claiming he's a former White Fang member trying to prove that Faunus aren't all bad, some go as far as to believe that he's a Grimm who has achieved human-level sentience and is trying to redeem himself. I'll spare you his story during the end of Volume 1 and the beginning of Volume 2, which is basically how he came to be part of team BSLT.
 * Position/Class: Eh?
 * Landing strategy: Has never had to develop one.
 * Weapon: Consistently in flux. So far, something akin to a Zweihander/Shotgun
 * Semblance: Consistently in flux
 * Fighting style: A mix of swordsmanship and, for some reason, dancing. He can be elegant one moment and very brutal the next.
 * Relationships: Half brother and rival to Caerulus. Half brother of Rain.
 * Notes: Taranis, Caerulus, Rain and Caerulus' team CRLN (Cerulean) are based off of Arthurian legend. Taranis was inspired by Mordred. The 'Hooded Justice' persona is a reference to Hooded Justice from Watchmen. When I was creating him, he originally had the name of Aiden and had a red and black colour scheme, but I changed it because there are at least two people in RWBY canon with that colour scheme. Another note; whilst I was creating him, I began to unconsciously ship him with Ruby and by the time I realised that, I'd already made it so the ship was possible, so I stuck with it.
 * Tropes: There are probably things that belong here from the Notes.
