Nothing against what you guys are saying, just remember to attempt to keep it relevant to RWBY.

And, to whoever talked about super chick-magnet OC's however many hours ago: A lot of those writers seem to be new to fanfics. Trust me, when I was at that stage I did the same thing. Even had Yang, just like you said. It's like the starting stage for new RWBY OC fanfic writers: Mary Sue/Marty Stu x Yang action-fic.

Now though, I'm much more into writing characters with little-to-no romance involved. Currently trying to write a fic where the only semi-romantic interest of the main character dies in his arms in the first act, and the rest of the tale is him trying to figure out why he's still alive while she's dead. And boy, is it fun to write! As a fanfic writer with a love of using OCs in his fanfiction, I'm not so much on the "super-chick magnet" sort of thing. My main OCs almost always end up reserved, depressed, and off on their own. However, my main RWBY OC is also "chivalrous to the extreme" - he will step in and protect women, no matter what. Obviously, this doesn't sit well when fighters like Yang exist, and so the two of them end up fighting over it, get drawn closer together, but they both continuously deny the possibility of a relationship with each other (note: Yang admits possibility to Ruby, OC gets bothered about it by other characters) until the two decide to duel over their emotions.

Yes, they get into a boxing ring to fight about whether or not to have a relationship.

In the AU of my own fanfic (...ok, now this is getting confusing), the two of them work differently. This one is the prompt of the "Yang killing Jaune and suffering for it" from earlier in this thread - first chapter is being posted soon as I finish it. Anywho, the OC, Noir, killed a man as he watched the girl he cared about die protecting him, as happened in the first story. As such, his relationship with Yang isn't romantic at the current time, and I do not intend for it to be any time soon. Instead, he helps her cope with her grief in his own way as the two of them fight off...
