and that is wonderful, if most people approached OC's from that perspective I am sure the overall OC Fanfic perception would be better, I myself have toyed with the thought of making an OC squad fanfic(for my personal amusement) consisting of a racist/bully human leader(with magnetism of a much more limited range than Pyrrha), and 1-3 faunus members, including a Yatsu sized Timberwolf and a "flying" squirrel faunus.

My general concept for interactions with series characters is no romance, combat-wise the majority of the team are pro duelists(though none beat Pyrrha, and RWBY/JNPR will likely be relatively 50-50) with such abysmal Teamwork at the outset that even CRDL will beat them(though solo I think 2-3 members of the OC's might be able to take the whole team, I like the idea of CRDL beating them with teamwork), for story I think relationships(non-romantic connotation) will be either OC/OC, or organic between OC/series characters.

all in concept stage atm, I doubt I would release any until after Volume 3 is out just so I have a better idea of where canon is going to make sure it fits. at this point mostly done with weapon/powers, working out personalities/character body types/names. I've thinked about an OC team too, Team ASTR (Alabaster, to fit the color naming rules), even made a Fanon Wiki page for one of the members.

I've already thought of their personalities, weapons, fighting styles and backgrounds, and to almost the same extent the Semblances, making sure it wasn't some OP ultrapowerful Anti-World Semblance like most OCs I've seen have. The names were the hard part (Stupid color naming rules), but I got it at the end.
