Dredging into a possibly dead topic: (it's and I'm tired) the mains versus OCs. I think a game should obviously focus on the main characters. Making the plot an "aside" against the web-series' plot would make it easier to incorporate game-specific OCs. And when I use the term "OC" I don't mean custom-characters. I've never really seen the point in them. Honestly, no matter how much you put into customizing a character, it will never be you. At least in an MMO, you can utilize the cust-function to express your creativity, but that still doesn't mean very much when the player next to you can copy your design with very little effort.

Anyway, rant aside, I normally don't care for OCs specific to spin-off games but due to the size of the lens through which we're allowed a peak into the RWBY world, it'd be more interesting to involve characters who are not already involved in the core plot nor shall ever be. (perhaps cameoed later) Perhaps some fanon could be ascended in this way.
