I don't know if this is the right thing to do anymore, everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I'm not crazy am I? I just want a family, friends, people to talk to. I want people that understand me. That is why I need these people...they'll always be there for me. There is one thing that worries me...what if they don't turn out how I want them to? What if they don't understand human feelings yet? I can't just leave them either, this is a great event, this is the biggest thing that I have ever done in my life.
But there is one thing on my mind...what will happen?..What will happen when I'm gone?
Will they be able to cope with this world? They are all special, each different, will they go on to greater things? Will they protect each other? It's a harsh world out there...oh God..number 6...I must go.
Doctor. Harold Grey
Storyline
The world of Ellonae, a world plagued by wars, and very advanced technology. The people have already mastered things such as genetic engineering, robots and advanced military technology. Ellonae's nations have constantly been at war, since the beginning of time. But for now, the wars are on hold..
Dr. Harold Grey lost his family and friends many years ago due to war and destruction, he was desperate to create his own, new family, people who could be his friends and understand him. After three years of very long work in his lab, he created six genetically engineered people. A huge achievement for him, people were already doing it, but he had made six at once. Dr. Grey continued to alter the six, so that they had their own, unique personalities. He helped them understand feelings and helped them feel, making them just like real people. Unfortunately, one of the six became defective and increasingly rebellious, dangerous and violent towards the other people he had created.
In fear of his own and his new 'families' safety, he set up to destroy the defective G.E.P (*Genetically Engineered Person). During the process, Dr. Grey was struck with guilt, he was technially killing off one of his new family members...one of his 'children'. But this one couldn't be fixed and had already attacked the others, leaving some of them having some problems. While he terminated the failed G.E.P, something went wrong in the process and the machinery exploded, causing Dr. Grey to die.
He left behind a group of five genetically engineered people, all lost as to what to do, their 'father' was dead and they still hadn't learnt everything that the world had to offer. They still didn't know everything about feelings, the only thing they could do now was experience it and try learn by themselves. Since the passing of Dr. Harold Grey, the governments of the seven nations of Ellonae have been trying to track them down to use them to their advantage, which could lead to the death of these five, which they can't afford to happen.
Ellonae is a dark place, there are a lot of dangerous people out there and they have never had to deal with such a thing before, what Dr. Grey had told them...was completely different. But he had lived long before the destruction of the most recent technology uprise.
When you are being hunted down to be used as a weapon, you can only run.
The five have found themselves in a large city, in hopes of trying to live an ordinary life and to keep their status low. They have named themselves and are ready to try live like a normal person, at one sign of trouble, they have to relocate and start anew. But keeping a low profile is hard. Especially when anyone could be watching.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors
Regardless of how stressed he was, he tried to console Avielynn "It's alright" he fumbled awkwardly not sure how to deal with the situation. "What's the commotion?" a male voice asked, accompanied by a yawn, it was Xero, Cornelius turned to see he was right but that was an easy feat to guess. "Hey" Xero said softly, as his hand reached out to Avielynn's head. "What's going on? Why you crying? this was followed by Xero's grin, as he put his arm around her shoulder, "This isn't a place to cry" Xero laughed "This is a place to laugh and enjoy yourself," he said, "The both of you." His smile seemed to grow wider, as Cornelius felt Xero's spare arm drape around his shoulder. Cornelius felt oddly better, not because of Xero's speech however probably because Avielynn would stop crying.
Cornelius heard a rather large growl, from whose stomach he couldn't tell but he'll make them both something, he couldn't cook well as Dina but he had watched her from time to time, and could mimic several of her dishes his however never tasted as good. He walked over to the fridge, taking Xero's arm off his shoulder he took a peek inside, there was some cheese, a couple slices of ham and exactly two tortilla wraps, "How does a ham and cheese wrap sound?" He asked both of them.
She walked out of her room to see the what was happening. She followed the sounds to the kitchen where she saw Xero, Cornelius and Avie talking, Avie bubbly as ever I wonder if she recharges with sunlight too...
"Hello everyone," she waved, with the smile she gave everytime she registered their faces, "What's going on here?"
Lyn looked at the clouds as they floated across the sky, they were moving quite quickly. She laughed to herself as she remembered when she was a kid and thought that when the clouds moved that fast, time was accelerating and that she was seeing time go faster. But that wasn't what was happening. She decided that she'd better go back inside, the sun would set pretty soon and she was ready to sleep.
She walked back into the house and made her way back to the kitchen, she assumed that all the others were still there. When she arrived at the kitchen, she smiled to see everyone there. "Hey, what do you all think of the house?" She asked.
How long had it been since her last meal? A couple hours? Inwardly, Avie cringed in horror. She'd never gone without food for that long. "Did you find a room yet, Lyn?"
She began her work at the cookies, bowls clanked, spoons scraped. Once she had mixed the batter sheballed it onto a pan and placed it in the oven. Soon the smell of peanut butter cookies wafted from the kitchen as she returned to where Avie was with the spoon. "Did you want to lick it," she asked, holding it out to her.

The smell of the cookies that she was baking began to flow from the oven and into the kitchen, and directly into Xero's nose. His stomach gave out a cry of hunger once more, seemingly demanding the cookies be done quickly, he felt as if he would start drooling soon. He gave a slight groan, his mind nearly being taken over by the sweet scent that filled the air.
Dina always walked to the market, charging in the sunlight on her walks. She often times bought groceries and the stopped at the library on the way home, so she was eager to find everything in this new town.
He walked out of the Doorway and looked back at everyone "I'm retiring for the night, don't wake me in case of a fire," He paused for a moment in thought "Screw it, let me burn." He added as he began walking away from the Kitchen and back upstairs. His feet were heavy and his eyes began scanning for a free room, he spotted one with half the door open the walls were painted navy blue and there was a large window on the side, and in the middle was a nice comfy bed he slowly put his satchel at the side and hopped inside quickly, turning on his side.
Avie shrugged to herself. Maybe she could go for a walk after Dina finished baking, and she got some food in her stomach. When had Dina said the cookies would be ready? Ten minutes? What could Avie do to pass the time? Scoping out the town would take hours. She knew that because Josie hadn't returned yet. That girl was always wandering off on her own. Avie noticed her long, blonde hair that had cascaded down the front of her body, and held the silky strands in between her finger tips. She watched it change from blue to green to pink before settling on a dark, eggplant color. Ah...genetic mutation sounds pretty entertaining. She swiveled her body away from the others, because there was nothing more embarrassing that having people look at you when you're growing an extra limb, and quickly got to work to pass the time.
She felt the familiar bubbling under her skin, and it took not more than a few seconds for something long and muscular to emerge from the girl's bellybutton, rising from under the small girls pink tee-shirt. Laughing to herself, she used the hand that wasn't clutching the batter-covered spoon, and small fingers tightly wrapped around much larger, chubbier fingers. Quickly, she stood up, back facing the others, sneaking her way over to Lyn. The arm on her stomach extended, reaching for the older woman. And it was then that Avielynn grew a fully-functioning, man-arm, complete with coarse, black hairs, and grabbed Lyn's hand, fingers interlocking.
I really am too funny.

Lyn smiled at the question. "No I haven't yet, Avie, I will soon," She answered. Everyone was seeming to be just fine here, they all appeared to be getting along okay. She watched Cornelius stand up.
"I'm retiring for the night, don't wake me in case of a fire," then he paused for a moment. "Screw it, let me burn." Lyn stared at him blankly for a moment as she watched him leave the room. Maybe he was angry at something? She glanced over at the others. "What is wrong with Cornelius..?" Lyn asked them. He didn't sound that happy, maybe something did happen while she was off galavanting.
Suddenly, Lyn felt something wrap around her hand, she laughed slightly before turning around to see who had grabbed it. Lyn almost jumped out of her skin when she saw Avielynn with a huge arm coming out of her bellybutton. "O-oh, Avie...?" She asked, Lyn hadn't seen her do this in a while, and to be honest it freaked her out every time. "Do you need something?" She asked, laughing nervously, staring confused at the third arm, she tried not to look terrified. "You really made me jump a little there, you're really good when it comes to that sort of thing, you're like...a ninja!" She smiled kindly. "I didn't see it coming!"

She hooked a stray hair behind her ear, and released a sigh of contentment. She could easily slip back into the house, pick her bag back up, and find an empty room.
It wasn’t that she didn’t enjoy the company of others, far from that, it was simply that she preferred to gather her thoughts and plan things out before moving forward. Moreover, the walk had helped her do just that.
She had found herself a nice little nook, in case she needed alone time and couldn’t find peace in the house. Eyes focused on the roof of the large house, Josie slowed to a stop in front of it a moment before stepping forward and walking towards the front door.
She cracked the door open, huffed out a breath, and silently stepped inside. Glancing down, a smile pulled at her pursed lips as she grabbed hold of her hidden pack, and moved for the staircase, taking the steps two at a time.

Her well-trained ears heard the foreign-yet-familiar sound of the front door opening then clicking shut, and the small girl jumped up, mouth still full of cookies, and sprinted into the foyer. Empty. Her currently-violet eyes scanned the hall, then the stairs, where she just barely caught a glimpse of shoes. "Josie! You're home!" Avie pranced up the stairs, two at a time, until she caught up with the cyborg, tiny hand firmly grasping the wrist of Josie, before pulling aforementioned girl down the stairs and to the kitchen; ignoring any protests Josie might have made.
"Josie's home!"

“Hello Josie.” Dina said, and Josie turned her head to the robotic female, a smile plastered on her face. “I hope everything is alright.”
“Oh yes, yes.” As she spoke, Josie gently pulled at her wrist in hopes of freeing from young Avie’s grip. “I just went for a walk. To see the area and whatnot; though I’m afraid I got side tracked and lost track of time.” Josie offered an apologetic smile before silently taking the offered cookie. “Thank you.”

Lyn smiled slightly as she returned to her seat and was still quiet confused about Avie's arm, it was a little gross, but Lyn knew if she said anything about it, the girl could possibly burst into tears. Which would always make her feel bad.
Dina thought about Josie for a moment, She had always been a little jealous that she was a hybrid. She still had the capacity to feel and make her own decisions...and though it seemed like Dina could too, she couldn't. She wasn't able to do feel anything she wasn't programmed to, and all her actions were because of a file stored deep in her somewhere. Though Harold did as much as he possibly could, Dina would never be human. She stretched out a metallic hand...and longed to be able to feel someones touch...
He awoke with a start, sitting himself up against his bed quickly wiping the cold sweat away from his forehead he had been having dreams like this for a while now, that's one of the main reasons he tried to stay up, to avoid going back into his psyche which in his opinion was slowly collapsing on itself. He moaned lowly, trying to shake himself out of the dream, most would forget the details instantly but not Cornelius he remembered everything well almost everything, he paused for a second deep in thought trying to remember where he'd seen that girl, it only caused him pain as he covered his ears whimpering, each time he had tried to remember it always caused him a intense head ache. He pushed himself up sighing roughly deciding to go out for a walk, he bent down slinging his satchel over his shoulder.
He noticed his door was slightly open, and the smell of cookies filled the air. Cornelius bent down picking up the plate and putting in on the side of his bed, while picking up one cookie which he almost immediately stuffed into his mouth devouring it whole. He supposed Dina had left them there for him, he silently thanks her as he walked outside his room shutting the door behind him and slowly began walking down stairs.
"Cornelius," she called out to him, "Can you activate a GPS search for me?"
She couldn't do certain commands herself like scanning a city, a security measure added so she wouldn't wander off on her own. Luckily she was programmed to accept voice commands from the others,which allowed them to use her fully.
She smiled up at him, "Will you please give me the command?" Then she added, "you can come too if you want, we can explore the town together and I would very much like to go to the library."
Lyn shrugged slightly as she went up the stairs and found a room that didn't have anybodies stuff in it. She smiled as she opened a door that didn't appear to have a claimed room inside. There was a large window which had a view of the street in front of the house, it looked nice, she was sure to explore it later.

Although number 6 isn't currently involved *due to the supposed termination* number 6 isn't currently open, but there are chances that others will be involved in the future :) Not just the ones particularly made by Dr. Grey.
