I balance my characters to suit their needs. Cain, for example, is arguably broken. He out-fought Ruby on their first meeting, and would have beaten and likely killed Yang if not for Noir's interference. However, this is also because of character growth principles - give them a weak villain, and the character doesn't grow. Give them a strong one, and they fight to succeed.

Noir, on the other hand, comes off as an inferior Yang, at least power wise. His Semblance is just as much about tanking damage as hers is, but it's a double-edged sword in that it stresses his body dramatically more, with the potential for self-caused damage.

Other characters of mine are on the borderline, but they're also WIP designs.

Also, on the topic of the Soundtrack... I drive while listening to it. I burned both Volume 1 and 2 onto disk, and they live in my car. There's always one soundtrack in there, be it RWBY, video game or movie, and I'll be honest, some of the stuff on the RWBY soundtrack is fun to drive to.
