That is exactly correct, and no, it's not a a bit "too far". Here, we strive for people to build their original characters within the RWBYverse without stepping on the toes of Canon Characters and without riding off the coattails of them. We want people to build them up completely seperate from them, as if we did allow it, we'd get hundreds of characters who are like, best friends or siblings or trainees of various Canon Characters, and it quickly becomes a massive problem.

They do still exist in the Fanon continuity, but why would any OC here specifically be looking for their name in a school database?
