I have an idea for an OC team, but I'm still toying around with ideas. There's also an idea for a villain of mine, but I'm keeping him secret for the most part. So until they're fully designed (and to protect my ideas from copycats. :P), I'll leave some vague ideas for them.

The team as a whole isn't really consisting of the middle or higher classes. One is an orphan, another is a tribal from outside the Kingdoms, another dude's from a poor family, and the last is... something that I won't reveal yet. In a way, they're all social outcasts or outsiders.

The leader is the orphan, and he is a bit hardened. He's gotten into a few fights in his life, mostly with your typical bullies. One fight wasn't like the others, though, and he nearly died as a result. His Semblance is likely to be some type of Elemental power, though I haven't decided which one. Fire's unlikely, since Cinder and Yang (the latter to a certain degree) possess that already.

The Tribal doesn't talk much, and his Semblance is Telepathy. He mainly uses this for communication, but he can also scan people's minds or read them. However, the latter requires time and energy, and it is possible for the affected to notice his probing and basically kick him out of their head.

The poor one is a bit of a tinker, having an interest in machines. His semblance allows him to manipulate machinery to a certain degree. He's suffering from an illness of someform, and is kinda the weakest (and shortest) of his Team as a result.

The last one... I'm not gonna spoil much about. He's a bit of a sarcastic person, with an interest in botany. He's the main healer of the group, being able to use herbs to concoct medicine or potions. His Semblance allows him to manipulate the flora around him.

The villain's unlikely to interact with the Team. In fact, he might not even be alive by the present time (Volume 2). He came about long before The War, so his name doesn't allude to a color or anything. This man has a distaste for Humans and Faunus alike, considering them primitive animals destined to destroy themselves. He wished to end the fights between the races and nations, to preserve and unite them.

However, his methods are... controversial. In fact, I dare say that even Weiss' father and the White Fang might be a bit disturbed by this character. Not just by his ideology, but by his current state as well. He's hardly human these days, and wants nothing to do with Humanity or any sapient entirety. The process he subjected himself and his followers (willing and unwilling) to made sure of that.

The thing that scares most people though, would be his personality. He... isn't the most stable of people, and would pretty much outright kill or... "augment" anyone in sight. I'm considering the idea of him possessing multiple personalities, each acting as a sort of council or cabinet of sorts for the overall character.
