Someone with the right build for it... and the right age for an adaptation to be made at the end of the series... which should be closer to 10 years from now, preferably a relative unknown so as to preserve any budget the Live Action has for a necessarily high effects budget, preferably theatrically trained, preferably with interest in RWBY, the main problems with an adaptation of any kind at this point is the storyline is decidedly lacking at this point, RT is not in a great place to risk tanking the original series with a badly made one, and I doubt they have the budget to risk on the special effects alone for one right now.

Honestly their best bet if they decide to do one is to get names and numbers of people with well made/well done cosplay's over the next few years and quietly look into their credentials to hire relative unknowns with passion they can get cheap for the project for everything(which honestly RT seems good at appropriating such talent anyways), and if they can't find a full cast they should delay until they can, because that would just be a huge waste of time if they need to blow half the budget on well known professionals.

The Last Airbender tanked because the well known director took too many casting liberties and refused to watch the series because of his method, which works for him normally but caused him massive problems because he took out what looks unimportant(the humor, how to pronounce certain names) which because he had not watched the series he did not realize were important(he did do a really good job with effects and cutting the film down to what was important to the story time-wise, but the rest of his problems still screwed the film).

This is what your budget should save you from, mistakes people inevitably make that no amount of star power can save you from... NEVER suggest well known stars for web series adaptations, their celebrity will ensure immense backlash if it tanks and the amount of cash they require sucks budget from other areas, and you can't just hire someone like Hugh Jackman for a relatively minor role when you need over 8 characters to be more important to the storyline who all can't be as well known because the rest of your budget is special effects/makeup...

and even if they could afford him he'd probably be more suited for Taiyang anyways honestly.
