I never intended for my OC to be there to save her, necessarily - just to even the odds. Plus, this has a lot to do with my character's backstory. To keep it short and simple for now, Opal (that's his first name) caught an incurable illness when he was younger, and eventually the unending pain almost drove him mad. But during this time, he also found religion and discovered his Semblance as well: foresight, or the ability to see the future. Believing his visions were sent from God, Opal not only saw his own death and an end to his suffering, but also that a warrior with a crimson cape and eyes "pale as moonlight" would eventually become Remnant's saviour. That's all I'll say for now in terms of backstory, but essentially, Opal is there to help Ruby in her fight, knowing that he wouldn't live to see sunrise.
