I DO have a vision for all of my "Maverick" ocs! SO IM GOING TO USE THAT AND GIVE BACKSTORY.
(Just to preface, they all ARE normal animal type reploids. Just drawing inspiration from mythical creatures, much like the mini-bosses in MMZ.)
Roaring Komai, Tanu, Carbus, Echidna, Kelpie, Selkie, Spor
So... Komai is a lioness type reploid.
But she takes inspiration from Komainu, lion-dog statues. Specifically female Komainu. Because yes, there is a difference. Komainu are ESSENTIALLY Asian gargoyles. (They're two different things, but basically have the same function: made to ward off evil from a place and its residents.)
Male Komainu protect the building itself from harm. (Like, putting one on the property was done so in hopes that an earthquake or flood or fire wouldn't happen.)
The female Komainu protected the people who lived WITHIN the home from harm.
So!
Komai was made during the Eurasia Crisis, and her job was to help protect and keep an eye on many of the children who unfortunately became orphans due to that situation. The Underground Shelters were built to withstand Mavs, yes, but... people wanted assurance. So... Komai was happy with her job.
Of course, once the Shelters were no longer necessary, she technically WAS without one. But... she was offered a place within the Maverick Hunters. Which she gladly took. She still definitely has a soft spot for kids; which is definitely good because infected Mavs tend to... target them. Heavily.
Look, Sigma wants humans completely gone. Going after children would definitely fulfill that.
That said, when the Mother Elf gets corrupted and the Elf Wars begin, Komai finds herself getting desperate to keep up with the fighting and protect people.
So she turns to Cyber Elves.
Which...
Does not work out for her. She becomes Elf-crazed and has to be taken down. Something that IS devastating to her in her last moments of clarity.
But she doesn't blame anyone but herself.
(Also, as far as armor coloration goes:
Definitely got this sort of vibe. <this is Komainu from a game called Spectrobes lolol>)
