Because there aren't Dragons in RWBY, nor have Reptilian Faunus been confirmed, Ike being part dragon wouldn't be feasible. For now, you can stick with him being plain human, or ask a mod to put him in Awaiting Canon Info category.

For History: You could just say that his father taught him how to fight, using his own techniques (try to edit the dragon part out, or describe him in a way to make it sound Elemental Dragon is his father's title). Then when Reborn comes in, he knows all this stuff about Ike that he hasn't shared at all; I don't think Ike would trust him so easily after he said he was just a random Mercenary or travel with him for that matter. There, I'd say add something where Ike followed Reborn to learn more about him, and how he knows who he is. I also wouldn't use the "Hero" goal mainly because it sounds a a bit generic.

Onto Abilities: Have him conjure the elements through a means of Dust (give him special gloves, gaunlets, bracers, whatever you think will fit to give him a reasonable place for where his skills comes from). For now I'd keep Fire or Water as his main element (maybe both) only because a Dust crystal for Wind and Earth hasn't been confirmed yet. And if he's an expert at martial arts, adding the swordsmanship skill seems a bit weird because he doesn't need it if he's that good with hand to hand combat.

Berserk Mode: Pulling this off might be on the difficult side. It sounds better fitting to be Ike's Semblance, yet there are some issues here. The scales he forms on his skin I'd just replace that with Aura or explain it as a Semblance, seeing how the scales would improve defense rather than offensive power (Also 10x stronger sounds very OP). It could work out to improve his martial arts though, so it could be used aiding his attacks.

Dragon Force Rebuke, not so sure what to say there, because it deals with tranformation. As far as we've seen, it's not possible in RWBY and there isn't enough evidence from the show to back up this ability. You have 2 options for a Semblance, either the scales from Berserk Mode, or an editted version of Rebuke (also replace the word "Mana" with "Aura"  and say that "he uses too much Aura in attacks" just to make him fit more in canon).

If you choose this one to be your Semblance, maybe try to say that Ike's Aura level goes off the chart, increasing his stamina and attack power for a short period of time. You'll also have to add something about this being a double edged sword, meaning after using his Semblance, he'll become extremely vulnerable to attacks (basically weakens him greatly), as all characters must have weaknesses as well as strengths.

Pretty much all I have to say about Ike; he has potential to be an amazing character. I'd also look at a few guides on the wiki, especially the Semblance guide to get an idea on what it is as of the end of Volume 1, incase you think of some other ideas.
