One idea could be that the male reader is a transfer student to Beacon Academy. He has a unique Semblance that catches the attention of the RWBY girls. For example, his Semblance could be related to time manipulation. Ruby might be intrigued because she loves unique abilities and wants to learn from him. Weiss could initially be a bit standoffish but as she sees his skills and determination, she warms up to him. Blake would see something in him that reminds her of her own struggles, and Yang would be attracted to his confidence.
