Then don't post him until you CAN think of something. Do you have ANY idea how many characters I have sitting unfinished on documents because I can't think of a satisfactory backstory?

Like six. Because putting out an unfinished product wastes everybody's time including my own.

You want to avoid cliche characters because they're boring, they're not interesting to look at, read about, or write about. Not to mention one of the core themes of RWBY is individuality and how every person is unique; even the Schnee family who look like clones and have a shared semblance are distinctive.

Weiss is unsure of herself, she's trying to find her own identity and strike out on her own in defiance of her father.

Winter is strong and confident, Weiss may be following her footsteps but the sisters have taken different paths.

Jacques is commanding, asertive, and pretty much a MASSIVE douche nozzle who is fueled by greed and an ego.

Whitley is a spoiled brat and brown noser who does nothing but listen to their father's every command.
