I don't see how that's "Long ago forgotten" seeing as that's a rule we'd kept to until Bluewind put up Redmond, and Redmond is specifically the result of a ship (which, you'll notice, both Sentry and Myself disapproved of in the first place) so I'd personally consider it non-canon right off the bat, and at minimum set in an AU

@Ark

So, if his CNR connection comes from his surname, why name him Axolotl? Just curious…

You say this is based on Ghostbusters. What I think you mean is that this character is based on Ford Pines from Gravity Falls. Axolotl follows Ford's story to a "T", just ported into RWBY (Bullied for having six fingers, the character decides to study weird phenomena. They move to a concentration of weirdness and decide to keep several journals of their findings. Upon hitting a roadblock, the character finds an inscription about a being with one eye with infinite knowledge and summons them, only to be betrayed by them after learning from them). It hits every story beat almost exactly, changing as few elements as possible to make it fit, to the point where I'd just say this is TOO similar to Ford and at least SOME things should be changed. I'd say delet it!
