Thanks for reaching back to me! I really appreciate it.

As for your concerns, I think it's fine to keep the reference images until you have artwork that really reflects the character as you imagine him. It's not that big of a deal. I have to commend you on your formatting, though. The page itself is very well organized.

Making him more lore-friendly is certainly a very good thing. It's always very important not to stretch the boundaries of what you don't know about a fictional universe, especially if you are going to expand that fictional universe in a "fanon" way.

As for his backstory, the strange dreams seem fine since they're vague enough that they don't point to anything specific. The reason why I'm iffy on the suburbs is that we don't actually know anything about Vale, other than it's a diverse land with both faunus and humans. It's up to you whether or not you want to switch him to Atlas, but keep in mind that the creators have implied that Vale has its own military. Also keep in mind that we don't know much about Atlas other than it has a large military presence. It's up to you if you want to remove the reference to Ruby, but if I was writing a character, I wouldn't have any interaction with canon characters. However, just seeing them in the distance is perfectly a-okay.

I also have to commend the fact that you picked a specific theme and ran with it, as many OC's tend to become overcrowded with inconsistent details. In any event, thank you once again for reaching back to me.
