He ends up in a team with penny her partner and an in universe caboose? Though the last one seems stretched. And for the heck of it caboose in the RWBY world is the son of Doctor oobleck.

Or I could have him be into beacon, but he isn't on any team, because it was an odd number that year& it would put said team in a disadvantage since they would be busy protecting him.

Or any other part of remnant really. What do you guys think? I'll assume you switched IPs.

-An Auraless-story? How stupid it is depends on the details. A character having no Aura would go against canon. A character with locked Aura achieves the same and follows canon. If the fic is basically "Aura never existed" or "Aura suddenly dissappeared", then nothing you see in RWBY would be possible.

-Everything after that part becomes more, and more, and more fucking stupid the more details you add, be it because it makes the protagonists seem like a Mary Sue, or the idea is just dumb.

1) Ending up on a Team with Penny, who most likely doesn't even have an actual team besides the guys assigned to see and test her performance in the Vytal Tournament.

2) An "in-universe Caboose" can work, if by that you mean "OC that has a similar personality, but that's it". Now, making him the son of Oobleck is not a good idea. Making an OC a direct relative of X canon character is a Gary Stuish trait, and only forgivable if that happens to be the whole point (Ex: "Next Generation Team RWBY").

3) Having him in Beacon is perfectly fine. Having him on no team at all is just freaking stupid. Especially since it goes against canon. Your justification for such bullshit is that "the team would be busy protecting him, thus a disadvantage", but he's not supposed to be a Load, he's supposed to be a fighter, thus need no constant protection. And if he needed protection due to being "Auraless", why the fuck would he become a Hunter to begin with?

At the very least, give him a partner so he at least has a team of 2. Far less Marty Stuish than putting him in a team of 1 or a team of 5.
