The Unnamed (OOC&Signups) ( )

The Unnamed
OOC |IC


Plot

(I don't care if the concept isn't scientifically possible or if it doesn't make sense. Just go along with it for the sake of the roleplay.)

Stem cell research is a promising, yet controversial field of study. In a small lab outside of Albany, New York, a group of scientists were conducting experiments, focusing mainly on DNA. They put animal DNA into human embryonic stem cells, to see if they could create some sort of hybrid. They created over a hundred of these, using different animals. The scientists didn't think the experiments would survive, but they did. The babies were born human, so the it was assumed the experiment didn't work. The children were put up for adoption, and the scientists abandoned the experiment.

Over ten years later, the government found the lab and searched it. The scientists had left behind some notes and research, and the government scientists, looking them over, realized that the experiments had worked. These children could transform into the animal with which DNA they had been given. The governmental needed to collect these animal children, but they had lost track of most of them.

They managed to capture a few, and now the captured are working for the goverment. Because they also have the same powers, the government is using them so as not to give away to the free children that they are being hunted. The captured are being closely tracked, and if they can successfully get all the other experiments, the government has promised they will not be tested on.

And to keep track of the animals and characters:

Info

If you're going to be one of the animal children, you should definitely read this. Animal children can transform fully into their animals, as well as partially. That doesn't however, mean, just because you're a bird you can fly without fully being the bird. You have to take size into consideration-- for example, a parrot's wings would not be able to lift a human. The experiments would have similar characteristics to their animals in human form. That means similar eye colour, hair/fur/feathers, features, etc. They don't have to have to have all of those features the same as their animal. The experiments don't have any other powers. The animal may effect them a bit. For example, my character has good vision because her animal is a falcon.

Let me know if you have any questions.

~

Basically, you will roleplay as the animal children, either free or captured, the hunted or the hunters. You can also be a normal human that will help/hinder them, if you'd like. Each character should have unique animal, unique meaning-- not the same as anyone else. The animals have to be real, and not currently extinct, so no raptors, unicorns, dodo birds or mudkips, thank you very much. If you want to be a human, just remove the animal part of the skeleton below

My Character

Name:Veronica Taylor
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Image
Veronica stands at about 5'4. She is skinny, and has long legs and arms, making her look rather lanky. She is stronger than she appears though, and can be a fast runner. She has fine short hair that reaches past her chin, and is styled with bangs in a dusty brown colour. Her eyes are a golden-brown colour, and because she has falcon DNA, she also has extremely good vision. Veronica's clothing style is casual--jeans and graphic t-shirts for the most part. She doesn't like to wear skirts or dresses, but will wear them if she needs to.
Animal:
Brown Falcon
Image
Personality: Veronica doesn't talk very much, but is by no means shy. She just doesn't talk unless she feels it's necessary. She's observant, noticing things most people don't, and is good at reading people. She can tell when she is being lied to, and can get a bit paranoid at times. Veronica is blunt and honest, and can seem insensitive at times. She's not very good with people and teams, and prefers to be independent. She will do the occasional favor or good deed for someone else, but when she is in a dangerous situation, Veronica's actions are more along the lines of 'every man for himself' and 'save yourself'.
Bio:Veronica was in two different foster homes, when he was young before being adopted. She was adopted by an old couple when they found out they were unable to have children. She loves them like real parents, and didn't know that she was adopted until age fourteen. At first she was upset, but she grew used to the fact, and still considers herself their child.

Name: Jonathon Chance Law
Age: 15
Gender: Male.
Appearance: Jonathon has a shag of chin length copper hair that falls around his angled face, he has feminine looking high cheek bones and full lips. His eyes are a bright sky blue and usually outlined with eye liner. He has wide shoulders and subtly muscled arms with a thin body and long legs as he stands at just below six foot.
Jonathon usually wears tight fitting jeans that hang from his narrow hips and a tight fitting shirt or t-shirt. He has a tattoo on his stomach and his back, a lip piercing and a stud through the top of his right ear.
Tattoo below his navel:
Image
On his back:
Image
Animal:
Tiger.
(will put image)
Personality:
Jonathon likes to be dominant, he is easily put into a bad mood and is known to toy with emotions. He trusts no one and has a feminine attitude towards clothes and make up. He enjoys annoying people and can sometimes have a very strange view on things. Aside from his moods he can be a bit of a flirt but usually does so with malicious intent. He only has the emotional span to care for one or two people at a time and depending on the situation these people usually change quite often. He could see you as a friend one day and an enemy the next, it's just how he is. He has always been around people who like to keep up appearances and this reflects greatly on his personality and own appearance.
Bio:
Jonathon has been passed from home to home since he can remember, his personality and general mannerisms mean that he never stays anywhere for long. Some people blame the home he was sent to when he was seven where the people there tried to force him into submission. They believed that with him they could make the perfect family. Jonathon does not blame these people for the way he is, he doesn't blame anyone. Although like in a real game of pass the parcel a layer of himself has been removed with each home. Mostly these are the layers that he has built around himself, the ones that shield his eyes and his heart.
Jonathon has just been put into a new home with a kind looking coupld named Jean and Roger Marks. He has been there a few days and already they are beginning to ware him down. He'd started off with smiles and sweet, charming words but has started showing his true colours. He's not sure how much longer he will last and is grateful that he will soon be old enough to make his own decisions in life.

(( Blurring, I know I'm not a strong Roleplayer, but this looks interesting so I'm gonna' write a character. Feel free to gimme' the boot. ))

Name: Calvin 'Cal' Hook
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Image
Cal holds his height at 6'2, most of his height being in his legs. He gained a reasonable amount of muscle after his infusion with the animal DNA, building his entire body, but mainly his legs, which mainly aids his propulsion and speed. His hair is a very dark brown colour, almost bordering on black, but contains streaks of a lighter brown throughout. It reaches his jawline at the sides and his eyeline at the fringe. He has dark green eyes which hold a small sparkle, brightening the colour. In his lip he has two circular rings in front of his two canine teeth. Cal usually wears a lively t-shirt sporting a particular band, or image, with dark jeans which flare out over his shoes at the bottom. He always wears a running trainer shoe on his feet.

Animal:
Spotted 'Laughing' Hyena
Image

Personality: Cal is a lively teenage boy who often gets carried away in a moment, or will say the wrong thing. He has a 'smartass' personality in which he will try and make a comment about anything, or a sarcastic action of some kind. Generally he cannot tell the right moment, and often goes too far with people in the wrong mood. Cal does understand the concept of teamwork and how strong it is, but often pushes people away from him accidentally, despite this he will hardly ever give up on something, or someone if he truly sees value in what he is doing. Very rarely losing his temper, Cal seems to build it up inside. When he does loose his temper, he often does something he regrets and again, goes too far.

Bio: Cal was never adopted as a child, why he never knew. But he kept putting on the kind, smiling face whenever someone showed an interest in adoption. He was adopted by Sarah and James Hudson at Nine years old. The Hudson's had one other child already, from James' previous marriage - Sarah didn't want to go through pregnancy because of her career - who Cal did not get along with. In the Hudson' household, everything was strict and regimented, which did not fit with how Cal wanted to live his life. He preferred being free, not alone, but free. Four months after his Seventeenth birthday Cal snapped with James in a violent episode. So violent that his 'father' of Eight years threw him out his house.

You're not a bad roleplayer, trust me. I've seen much worse. And I'm not that good myself, anyways.

Thanks for joining, and you're accepted.

I'll start the IC once another person or two join.

Postby BlueRoseJibril on Thu Jul 30, 2009 3:57 pm

Name: Lenina Crosswell
Age: Sixteen
Gender: Female
Appearance: Short long and rather thin and slick black hair and brownish-yellow eyes. Lenina is somewhat tall [leggy would be a better word perhaps] The curvature of her body is slight and yet still obvious. Considerably thin but not overly so. [lean I suppose would work as an explanation.]
Often, she is found in shorts and a decently fitted, light weight top of some sort. She has a silver lip ring on the left side.
Animal: Black Panther.
Personality: She's the outdoor-sy type and as such is very outgoing. She's also rather flirtatious... with just about anyone and everyone. She thinks it's fun. She enjoys anything that makes her be active such as running which is why being able to turn into a panther is rather enjoyable to her. She can be a fierce competitor and doesn't like losing much but isn't a sore loser.
Bio: She doesn't remember much of her childhood, she knew it was peaceful but other than that she doesn't remember much. She has two other siblings but she doesn't know she isn't related to them. She's always assumed that maybe she wasn't but it never crossed her mind to ask.

Postby Angleaya Z. on Thu Jul 30, 2009 4:43 pm

Name: Roxi Fean
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Image
Animal: fennec fox Image
Personality: Roxi is a very friendly girl but can be quiet at times. She feels most comfortable when she's in her animal form and doesn't really like large crowds. She is very sweet and caring for other people, especially those that are like her.
Bio: Roxi was adopted by a woman name Victoria when she was four. She has known her whole life that she was adopted, her mother not wanting to keep it from her. Though her mother was surprised to find that Roxi could turn into an animal she often let her do it in the house, knowing how happy it made her. She lives a very happy life, despite having to keep this secret.

Postby Dazed&Confused on Thu Jul 30, 2009 5:29 pm

Name: Lucas James Nightingale
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male
Appearance: Sandy brown hair, almost to the point that its blonde is styled into a shaggy mohawk. Vibrant golden amber colored eyes, and a lip piercing are his most definitive facial traits along with some freckles. Lanky, yet athletic build, Lucas has broad shoulders and tone muscles, due to years of playing drums, baseball and soccer. He stands a good six feet tall, and is usually wearing simple worn out jeans and black or white t-shirts.
Animal: Wolf
Personality: Lucas is a laid back and easy going individual, though he has a stubborn side. Outspoken, honest, and blunt, to a point that it is often considered rude or insensitive. He is also strong minded and protective of those close to him, especially his younger sister, Lily, but basically unless the world is ending, or she's in danger, he won't let it bother him. Needless to say, Lucas doesn't sweat the small stuff. He can be friendly, and loyal if you end up on his good side, but cold and unforgiving otherwise.
Bio: Lucas grew up the oldest sibling, having a younger sister, who is only five. Despite her being only a 'half' sibling, on his mother's side, he is extremely close to the young girl. Remembering nothing of his past and DNA testing days as an infant, it was obviously a complete surprise when they suddenly broke down his door and hauled him away. At first refusing 'hunt' down other human beings, they decided to use his little sister against him, if he complied, she stayed safe. Therefore, Lucas was sent off to find these people 'like him' that can change, and shift into various animals, under the condition Lily is kept safe and he isn't tested on.



[Wolf seems a little unoriginal xP But I couldn't think of another badass type animal, besides other large cats, and didn't want to be to close to tigers and panthers and such. So, theres my profile, gotta head off to a baseball game soon, hope it's alright, it was kinda rushed. I'll check back and fix it later if need be. Thanks.]

Postby Alexxxcali on Thu Jul 30, 2009 8:57 pm

Name: Evelyn Davis
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Image
Evelyn has a mix of lights and dark blues in her eyes, with pale pink lips. Her hair is different hues of blond and brown, mostly styled back and hairsprayed out of her face. She's 5'8, Slim/Slender, and has long lean legs. She naturally has a very fast metabolism and likes to run, which gives her skinny but muscular legs and torso.
Animal:
White-Tailed Deer
Image

Personality: Evelyn is a self-confident girl, but shares no confidence in the human race. She trusts only herself, and is always on her guard. She gets paranoid easily, but tries hard not too show it. She's very cautious of her surroundings, and especially men. Evelyn mostly keeps too herself, but is naturally very selfish inside. Her life guideline that she goes by, is to do whats best for her, since its her life. Evelyn is very independent, but also feels an overpowering need to be motherly, and is very good with children, which is her soft spot.

Bio: Evelyn was adopted by a super high-maitenance rich couple, who chose her because of her looks. Evelyn never grew close too them, and called them by their first names. Mainly thinking of them as a money-bank and shelter. She was discovered by the government in a hunting accident gone bad, and then found out there were others of her kind. They allowed her to stay with her family, but since then dropped out of school, and spends most of her time traveling when the government requests her. Evelyn's soul purpose of hunting down others, is to keep from being tested herself, and for the excitement of meeting "others".

Name: 'Sukari' or preferably known as Suki; an african name meaning 'sugar', graciously given to him by the local zoo
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Image (no anime)
Animal: Image
Personality: Suki is rather lazy, and grows bored with the typical zoo life. Having once been a circus lion, he is grateful for the reprive from the constant whippings, and takes great pride in his many books he has collected; from months of schoolchildren irritably throwing their textbooks in hopes of getting him to roar. Through the books he has gained enough knowledge to remain sane, but not enough to stay completely un-lonely. If given the chance, he will take to running around the small enclosure that he is now a prisoner in. He can be quite sarcastic at times, and someone really grand to have by your side at others.
Bio: Suki prowls about in the amazing wilderness that is known as the 'african savannah' in the local Albany Zoo. It is a perfect hiding spot... if he were intentionally hiding. He has no recollection of his parents, and no siblings other than that of the residential zoo lions, which hold no conversational value. If he attempted to speak to any of the visiting humans, then he would surely attract attention to himself. Unlike the other experiments, he is unable to change back into the human he once was, thanks to an incredibly idiotic occurance in his past (below for more information).
PAST - Suki was one of the first to be tested upon in his youth, being poked and prodded constantly by numerous ideas of the raving scientists who held him captive. Nothing bad had seemed to happen, no side effects, and he didn't even seem to absorb any of the weird DNA mixtures they had shoved at him. After numerous hours of exhausting and painful testing, they discovered that his rare blood type, AB, had caused this rare immunity. Unfortunately for Suki, this only gave the scientists more reason to try harder at converting him. But that was not what would cause his unique future. One night, after the labratory celebrated another different successful conversion of DNA, a lone drunken scientist wandered into the room in which Suki was kept. Not thinking too clearly, and frustrated that this experiment had failed where others had instantly succeeded, he decided to take it upon himself to try once more. Dragging the fast-asleep infant to the DNA room, the scientist proceeded to rummage about through the different containers, finally coming to a conclusion on what to try next. He pulled a vial of male lion DNA, and began filling up the needle without any other mixture, and not stopping when it was well past the point of over-doing it. Only once the needle was full did the scientist proceed to turn around and inject it all into Suki, giggling madly to himself. After every last ounce of the dna was forcefully placed into the young infant's body, did the scientist hiccup one last time before succumbing to unconsciousness.
The next day, the other fellow workers of the labratory discovered a small infant lion cub laying peacefully alongside many a broken glass, an empty vial of DNA, and a needle. The scientist was later discovered in the bathroom, whining of a hangover. But the damage had been done, and tired from all of their failed attempts with the now-permanent lion infant, they secretly donated him to a circus, giving up on whatever Suki had become.


I do hope I am not too late, this seems to be a rather intriguing roleplay!
Some of my character quotes and famous roleplay lines I have typed -
~Alone he usually was, and it was assumed that alone he was meant to be, just like that poor limp creature that now lay buried beneath the light soil.~ Angel,Demon,Human RP, 'Karma'
~"Perhaps you were misinformed of my arrival... no? Well then, I shall have to hire a new messenger anyways, at the fact of the matter he seems to be missing," he stated with a miniature smirk rising upon the left corner of his mouth.~Vampire RP, 'D'
