Adam doesn't give a shit if you have faunus heritage; he hates ALL humans.

It's a general rule of thumb, and one we enforce in our monthly OC contest, that you should never have your OC connected to cannon characters except circumstantially; it's hard to make students at Beacon without them at least having met Ozpin, Glynda, and the other teachers. They've probably passed teams RWBY and JNPR in the hall and said a polite hello on one or two occasions, but that should be the extent of the direct interaction.

Try to rely on your own ability to write characters rather than leaning heavily on existing characters to flesh out a backstory; testing your own limits is the only real way to improve as a writer.
