[Edited]Nevermind, you took care of it. 
So I am going to assume you are still working on your character.
Just a few notes, typical age for characters at beacon would start around 17 and then I'm not sure where exactly it caps out. My Guess is 21.
For the things you do not understand while I will take the time tomorrow to type out my own written explanation, I can't right now because I need to go to sleep and I'm on my phone. You can Google 'RWBY Semblance' and it will explain that part for you and 'RWBY Faunus' to explain the species part.
