Ignore the part of "only 2 5s across the board". Focus only on what stats are high, how many, and what does that say about your character, mainly if it fits his fighting style. And remember to keep things balanced, that matters more.

For example, an OC could have a 5 in strength, speed, and agility, and another 5 in weapon skill: unarmed. 4 fives. Oh, but he also has a 2 in Aura Reserves and 1 in Aura Manipulation. So despite having more than 2 5s across the board, the OC is not an OP powerhouse entirely, it still has clear weaknesses.

So focus not on how many 5s you are giving the OC. Focus on giving weaknesses to counter his advantages. Focus on keeping an overrall balance. Even 1st years can excel at multiple things. But 1st years being Masters of All makes no sense.
