The problem is that we know nothing about the Great War beyond a few select things, and the rest, at the moment, must be guessed from the few select things we've seen.

Like Atlas being the only Kingdom shown to use guns (For comparison, Jaune's ancestor used a damn sword in the same war). Or how if Atlas had a decent airforce during the war's decisive battle in Vacuo where they got pwned into oblivion by nature, they at least wouldn't have been crushed that much.

And of course, the idea of inviting people to make OCs related to canon characters is like inviting them to blow up a gas station.

Personally, if there was any reason to take this thread down, it's the redundancy: People can already make Great War OCs in the normal OC thread, whose template is also more complete as it includes preferred fighting style, and Semblance (Aura and Semblances are not recent, though before the academies both were likely more unknown).
