I'm not saying that I can't, I just didn't know that was bad when I started. You did say before that you haven't made a Mary Sue, though. That you even checked it and tried not to make one. It was said with a sure-enough tone too.

Then it turns out your OC already has a big MS trait right out of the gate: Pre-established!Friendship with a main character, and in a way that defies the show in the process.

I mean, the OC being already friend from back at Signal with Ruby, is worse than, say, meeting her at Beacon. While both are MS traits, the former is worse.

Speaking of Signal, Ruby had 2 years left to graduate and get to Beacon. She skipped those years thanks to Ozpin. So, how did your OC meet Team RWBY enough to seemingly become at least an acquaintance like you said in the last thread?

I mean, assuming Odin was at the same year Ruby was, by the time he gets to Beacon, if it even is functional, RWBY would be 3rd years, if they are even still studying at Beacon and not, say, saving the world.

Speaking of relationships, you mention that he had a "mentor/apprentice relationship" with Qrow. Since you point it out, I assume it wasn't the normal teacher-student relationship?
