It would be easier for you to just tell us what it is you have in mind, so we can tell you if it's a good idea or not. Because right now, the list of things for a post-BoB story that can be either bad or cliche is pretty up there. I decided against writing the OC, not because of my fear of clicheness, but because I realised I had nothing else about the character than the idea I had.

Basically a normal huntsmen student until the battle of Beacon happened and he ended up losing several of his loved ones (I'm thinkin' a sibling would do the trick for one of them). After a mourning period, he went back to his huntsmen education, but felt rather lost (not depressed per se, just confusingly empty, even though he felt fine) and wanting to find a solution, he left civilization to find himself. Initially wanting only to wander a few days, it ended up taking a lot longer than that, and simply disappeared.

However, as stated, I have nothing else for this character. I have no traits, no other background, I don't even have a race or gender (he was just a placeholder), so I opted not to write it just yet.
