My other RWBY OC team!
This is team LCAF! (Pronounced "Leaf") They are the JNPR to team RWBY. The "leaf" to the "tomato" lol. They are inspired by the remaining four classic monster movie monsters.
Lillian Maria is the fun-loving team leader. She is inspired by the monster's mate in The Bride of Frankenstein.
Clara Ginger, the level-headed foundation, is inspired by Dr. Jack Griffin (also known as the invisible man) in The Invisible Man.
Adrienne Leroux, the quiet observer, is inspired by Erik in The Phantom of the Opera.
And Frosk Alaguna, the self-proclaimed "party animal", is a lungfish Faunus inspired by the creature in Creature from the Black Lagoon.
More about Lillian Maria!
The team leader of LCAF! Young adult (early 20s, like ROMA)
Likes: Architecture, Dislikes: Brussel sprouts
Semblance: Static Charge - Turns kinetic energy to lightning/electricity. The more she fights/moves, the larger the blast of electric current. She can only let loose massive charges once or twice before using up her aura, similar to early Yang and her Semblance. After use, her aura drops to extremely low levels. Hard hits or another use of her Semblance would completely break her aura.
Brief History: Lillian Maria was adopted by her fathers Jimson and Rhodey Maria in a small settlement in the kingdom of Vale. She has an older sister, Ivy Maria, who is about five years older than her. She grew up in this settlement, learning to fight and protect her home, after seeing what kind of horrors that could occur outside the borders of the largest cities. She eventually applied for Beacon Academy without prior experience in a fighting academy.
Misc fun facts: Believes in true love, gray/demi, wants to get married one day, a writer (although she hasn't published anything), is called "Lily-Pad" by Frosk :)
More about Clara Ginger!
The solid foundation of team LCAF! Young adult (like ROMA)
Likes: Mixology, Dislikes: Disorganization/Mess
Semblance: In Plain Sight - She has the ability to completely erase her presence from one's perception. She doesn't physically go invisible, but it's much harder to perceive her. This does not work on Grimm or anyone with extrasensory semblances or abilities. (Think Gods/Spirits in Noragami). This is a passive Semblance like Qrow's bad luck (or probability manipulation?), but she has worked to suppress it.
Brief History: Clara Ginger was born in Argus to her mother, Lucida Ginger, and her two fathers, Chrys Tallisan and Rayne Aero. Clara lived in Argus with her family, peacefully, until the day her Semblance was discovered. She got hopelessly lost, and no one could find her, as it was almost impossible to notice her. A Huntsman with an extrasensory semblance found her wandering the city streets, asking people how she could get home. The people she asked were all confused as to where the girl's voice came from, which confused and scared young Clara. The Huntsman recognized that she had a perception manipulation Semblance, and once he brought her to her family, advised them to put her into a Huntsman school so she could begin training her semblance. She began her training, and found that being a Huntress was her calling. She eventually decided to go to Beacon, the same school the Huntsman who found her was from, to become a full fledged Huntress.
Misc fun facts: took her mother's surname, bi, her parents are in a polycule (and thus like to joke about having another pair of eyes to keep watch over her), has a fear of being left behind.
More about Adrienne Leroux!
The observer of team LCAF! Young adult (same as ROMA)
Likes: Nighttime air and Music, Dislikes: Crowds
Semblance: Phantom - The ability to move within and take objects into shadows. (Think, Rogue FT, and Kuroiro from MHA). She can still be harmed from within the shadow, but when in transition she has a few brief seconds of intangibility. When aura breaks, everything within the shadow she is in, is forced out along with her. The larger the object, the more aura it takes, and the less time in can be within the shadow. She has not attempted taking another living person within her shadow, for fear of accidentally killing them.
Brief History: Adrienne Leroux was born to Rosalie and Julien Leroux in a small settlement in the kingdom of Vale. They lived there together until a Grimm horde destroyed the settlement and most of the people. Adrienne only survived because of her semblance, which allowed her to hide amidst the rubble until it was safe enough to leave. Her parents died in the attack, leaving her to wander with the remnants of the settlement. The group found another settlement, which welcomed them with (somewhat) open arms. Adrienne was then put into an 'orphanage' with children who's parents were also dead or missing. She lived within that settlement until she applied for Beacon Academy, without any prior fighting academy experience.
Misc fun facts: Has heard the legend of the Grim Reaper in her orphanage (and based aspects of her weapon off of the stories), lesbian, enjoys singing and listening to music, her nickname is "N" or "Enne."
More about Frosk Alaguna!
The "Party Animal" of team LCAF! Young adult (like everyone else)
Likes: Swimming and Frogs, Dislikes: Assumptions/Assuming things
Semblance: Tides - The ability to manipulate water. The more water he manipulates, the more aura he drains. Cannot manipulate temperature, ice, or vapor. Cannot manipulate more than a 'reasonable' amount of water. Typically uses semblance as a shield, a weapon, or a platform. Seems to get stronger with high tide. Does not generate water and cannot create complex shapes (only cubes, spheres, and cylinders).
Brief History: Frosk Alaguna was born to his mother Aurea and father Rudd Alaguna on Menagerie. Although born female, he knew he was male from an early age. He joined the White Fang with Arnulf and his family, and traveled with them for a time. During his travels, he was able to surgically transition, as Menagerie didn't have the means at the time. Ghira Belladonna eventually stepped down for the more aggressive Sienna Khan, and when things became much more violent in the White Fang, Frosk decided to leave and become a Huntsman with his friend, Arnulf. He entered into Beacon Academy without having prior Huntsman training.
Misc fun facts: Really likes frogs but isn't a frog Faunus (this has caused confusion), in fact a lungfish Faunus with limited ability to breathe underwater, Trans, natural swimmer, dated Arnulf for a few days (realized they were just besties after being each other's first kiss), his nickname is "Fro."
It's 2024 so I decided to redesign team LCAF! (I literally started drawing on the 3rd and full hyperfocused on this so hard my arm hurts now)
Starting out with the team's leader, Lillian "Lily Pad" Maria!
She's got new magnetic thigh holsters for her weapons that double as armor! Her side shave has migrated over to the opposite side! She's got piercings now! And I pushed the heart motif as much as I could, with lil heart earrings, heart button, heart kneepads, and heart(ish) toed boots. Also, I made her white waist cape turn sheer with the yellow as the accent rather it being full opaque yellow with white as the accent.
Next we've got Clara Ginger!
She's got an entirely new outfit, and her bag is nowhere to be found! She's got more red in her design to compliment her partner, and she's got some red tint in her glasses now! Plus she's sporting some lip makeup and now she has some sweet lacy gloves, as well as some nice lacy tights! I also took out the brown in her og design since it made the design too busy.
Next it's the partner in question, Adrienne "Enne" Leroux!
The general vibe of her outfit is the same, just a bit more detailed and with gold accents, but I completely redesigned her symbol (to look more like an eye) and her mask! It's now held onto her head by the same logic that holds Adam Taurus's mask and Ilia Amitola's WF mask to their respective faces... ~anime physics~ She's also got some new opera gloves! (also fun fact, when I originally came up with her concept, I didn't realize the author of the original Phantom of the Opera, Gaston Leroux, had the surname Leroux. It was a fun coincidence that I decided to keep ^.^)
And last but certainly the one I redesigned first, Frosk "Fro" Alaguna!
He got a full rehaul of his outfit design (to reflect his 'party animal' personality a bit better) with an open wetsuit top, some sweet wetsuit bottoms, and some sick goggles. Plus, I wanted to be able to show off his top scars (cause they're cool and I subscribe to the idea of stylized top scars are dope as hell). And I gave him a tattoo. For funsies. He's also got a sling thing that I saw on Menagerie extras and I wanted to make it obvious that he's from there since his gills can be overlooked... plus I've decided that it holds his weapons :D
