Animalia Summary:

The government has been secretly kidnapping people with no personal ties. They are first followed, stalked, drugged and transported to a secret island facility somewhere in the tropics. They are locked down in a hospital-like building and kept underground in cages, being experimented on and used to perfect a splicing serum that combines human DNA with that of an animal.

The organization is looking to use these people as warriors, funded by the government for war. After breaking out of the establishment, they are loose on an island, trying to survive while being hunted by organization members and first generation test subjects.

Rules of the RP:
* follow Iwaku rules <3
* Please post at least twice a week if the thread is moving fast enough
*swearing is OK, but please don't be excessive
* respect each other and give everyone a "time to shine" we are writing this together, and we all deserve to have or styles and abilities showcased.
*Fighting and blood are welcomed!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Island gives you opportunities to either find an escape route, or go back for more information about where we are and what is happening.
- some of you might oppose and so a war/conflict will break out internally within the "SAAP" mutants.
- I'm looking for about 5-6 people to join this RP, that way we have even teams and possibly 2 more people who would like to play the "bad guys"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kendall
[SPOILI] Gender- Female
Age- 24
Pic-

Animal influence- armadillo

bio- Kendall is a mechanic from a small town, she never travels and never argues when given a job to do. She is strong and independent and very "thick skinned". Kendall grew up in a large family but never really fit in. Her mother died when she was twenty and her father didn't want her in a "man's field" but she got her degree anyway and is very good at what she does. Kendall's sisters cut off contact with her when she moved out of state to pursue her career. [/SPOILI]

Joseph
[SPOILI] Gender: Male
Age: 23


Pic: Don't have pic soooo description. Has black hair that is tied back in a ponytail with bangs framing his face, it reaches past his shoulders. Has one eye that is a deep brown and the other is a light blue. Stands at 5'10 and weighs 180, has a semi-athletic build. Has a slightly dark brown skin tone. Also has claws and a black wolf tail with ears, has fangs instead of normal teeth



Animal influence: Wolf


Bio: Was raised as a single child and had his parents pass away at a young age. With no one to take care of him he went into foster care, where he grew less sociable and more into a loner. He took up a watering job in a semi-well known restaurant. Again he didn't socialize much with his co-workers. Despite him being not very sociable and alone most of the time he was satisfied with his life. [/SPOILI]

Kuran
[SPOILI]Name: Kuran R. Marē


Gender: Female


Age: Twenty-two


Appearance
Height - 5'6"
Weight - 122 lbs.
Hair - Black
Eyes - Golden
Animal Influence: Snake


Bio: Born and raised in Sydney, Australia - Kuran spent most of her days exploring her own backyard which just so happened to be the big ole' outback. She was a curious soul and she saw no danger in reaching into unknown holes or rattling bushes. Her family were modern, neither poor nor rich, and they were all kind and considerate. Mother and Father let Kuran do whatever she wanted, but it was only because they worked too many hours to actually keep an eye on here. So she lived out her life in the outdoors. The local inhabitants of her backyard greeted her kindly each day she went out to play with them.

This went on for over twenty years.

Only a few days ago, she had reached into the wrong hole and payed the price. A mother cobra had been protecting her newborns when Kuran's hand came down into her home - on instinct the snake bit her and let her venomous teeth sink in. Kuran was admitted to the hospital, but was never seen again.[/SPOILI]


Tier
[SPOILI] Gender- Female
Age- 8
Pic-
280583.jpg


Animal influence- Owl- She can see in the dark, has very very good eyesight, and can turn her head back like an owl.
bio- Her mother was a scientist working on the project. Without having a father and living in such a secluded place her mother, Julian, decided to bring her daughter to the island. Tier was taught to be quite and not to ask many questions, never get in the way, never tell of what she saw, and to not touch anything. Tier spent most of her time by herself and watching what the scientists did. But the project was running out of subjects so her mother offered her daughter up; "Besides, there is no way she could ever live a normal life anyways," was her mother's reasoning. [/SPOILI]

Rick
[SPOILI] Gender- male
Age- 15
Pic- Also don't have pic. Back when he was human he had short black hair. This made his new leopard fur dark. Not quite black, but very close, like a deep brown with the black spots. His legs transformed into the springy compound design for cat limbs, making him stealthy, fast, and about a foot taller than he used to be. He has a cat's eyes, and even cat-like features to his face now. His ears have migrated to the top of his head and he has retractable claws where his nails used to be. Also a tail, which he usually wraps around his leg.
Animal influence- cat, specifically leopard

bio- Only a year ago he had possessed a normal family, albeit a small one. Both sets of grandparents had died before he was born and he had no other living relatives. Rick had always been quiet and awkward. Most people at school hardly ever noticed he was there. He wasn't like the normal ones of this type in that he excelled in academics, either. He was perfectly average in that department, so not even his teachers took much notice of him. He had had a father, a mother, and an older sister. Unlike him, she was positively the center of attention all the time. During Christmas break, they hit some black ice while driving around and only Rick survived the crash. Since no one ever noticed him, everyone at school typically thought that the entire family had been wiped out in the accident. Since no one took notice of him, he was considered perfect for the experiments. He was spirited from the orphanage one night in his sleep. When he awoke, he was in one of the cages, the animal DNA already slowly changing him into a master of stealth, a master of the unseen.[/SPOILI]

Ceilo
[spoili]Name- CelioOro
Gender- Male
Age- 14
Pic- View attachment 17361
[/spoili]
[spoili]

Animal influence- Crow
Bio- Ceilo was born in a country village with a loving community. Ceilo often played with the other village children in forests and meadows. The other children envied Ceilo's grace, nimbleness, and ability to clamber up trees in seconds. But one day when he was 7, Ceilo went chasing butterflies by himself, and got lost in a forest near a treacherous mountain. He was lost and alone for many days. When somebody from the Animalia organization found him, he was almost crying with joy... but not for long. He has never seen his family or friends since the day he got lost, but the village has spent much time searching for the lost child.

Loki
[spoili]Name- ​Loki Shizumi
Gender-
Male
Age-
26, yet looks around 17.
Pic-
tumblr_m8o1ylVIA01qifonfo1_400.jpg

Animal influence-
A beautiful, dazzling... Butterfly. cx
Bio:
Loki has always been one to wonder, drift off into thought. He's also in constant war with himself; He tries to be good, and is easy to get along with, yet his diabolical mind tries to convince him he is powerful, and should destroy all who make contact with him. Of course, he (Almost) never let's this instability show.
At his younger age, 23, he was taken from his home town, and put into the lab. After 3 years, he's adjusted to the wings on his back, shedding glittery dust whenever he pleased. The scientists and guards here have grown a liking to him, though Loki has doubts of whether he should help their cause.
Now on to his eye: He keeps his right (Our left) eye patched. The uncovered one is blue, while the other is golden, as a result of the transformation that was forced upon him. He never uncovers it, unless to be inspected.[/spoili]

Satin
[spoili]Name- Satin Lilly Rose
Gender- Female
Age- 22
Pic-
[SPOILI]
sheep-girl_zpscb691c5b.jpg

She has rings of wooly fur around her wrists, and about two or three inches under her navel, her body takes on the body of a sheep more than anything else- her lower body is thickly covered in wool and her legs curve in the way that a sheep's back legs would- her feet are amber-colored cloven hoofs.[/SPOILI]
Animal influence- Sheep
bio- Satin was never really part of the boxset that her parents had tried to form with her and her five siblings- she was the black sheep- so to speak. From a well-off family that tried to do its best to conserve their ideology in these times, they would try to work out merger marriages, using their daughters and sons- Satin had responded to this with a firm refusal, and when that didn't work, she ran to a friend's house- and from there she had taken off, going from state to state, country to country. It only took a year for the heat to die down, for them to stop caring about the girl who refused to take part in their family. She moved from friend's house to friend's house- not knowing how to work or how to even really take care of herself- she was much like a high-maintenance dog. It didn't take long for her to find herself in bad situation after bad situation, and eventually it kept getting worse. It didn't take long for someone to find her sprawled out at a bar after the last call and take her away- there was no one left to care where she was.
[/spoili]


 
This reminds me of The Island of Dr. Moreau. Can the experiments change forms, or are they permanently stuck as a hybrid? Does it start with them being experimented on or is it after the transformation? Who's funding all this?

Just because I have a lot of questions doesn't mean I don't want to take part. In fact it means the opposite. I just want to know what exactly will be going on.

Thanks so much for the interest! Here's the answers to your questions:
1) they are hybrids, parts of their bodies resemble their animal counterparts, but there is no actual transformation.
2) You're first post would consist of getting kidnapped and waking up in the lab (in cages/ rooms) This could lead to you getting injected, or have already been injected and feeling odd.
3) I'm thinking the funding is coming from the secretary/bureau of Defense
 
So some kind of animal hybrid...like a cat perhaps? would be excellent for stealth.
 
well, I'm thinking the body would remain humanoid.
Here is my design for Kendall-

So as long as they remain humanoid, their attributes can be very animal like. Kendall will be able to see in the dark, curl into a ball to protect herself and have long, sharp nails for digging and fighting.

Animal influence- Fox
bio-Was taken at a younger age than the others. Avi was from a religious family, and in the works to become the next family priestess
. Her upbringing left her repressing the natural trickster side that she showed. She lived in a larger house with her mother, sister and grandfather. Avi's father disappeared one afternoon after her younger brother was born.

Hope that I can join.

Looks great everyone! Feel free to get posting whenever you're ready :D
 
Avi blinked blearily as the lab door opened. She was still muzzy from the last round of shots and wanted nothing more than to sleep and eat. A pair of hands clad in heavy leather gloves reached in to her area and lifted her by the brush. She yipped in pain and twisted around to bite at the offending hands. The guard jerked back in surprise and dropped Avi with a squawk or pain. Avi ran her tongue over the small pair of canines that poked out of her mouth. IT seemed that the latest round of injections had given her way sharp teeth.
A voice laughed in surprise. "It seems that subject A-1321 has fully adapted to the injections."
Avi growled as she huddled in the back of the cage/kennel. She did not trust these people at all, regardless of what they said.

Remeber where you are guys. You're weak and inside cages. The facility has alarms and locks on essentially everything. Guards and scientists swarm the place. There is no way you are getting out of there without teamwork. My next post will be a split between what's happening to Kendall and the security searching for Joseph.

Every so often, I will be posting up things for everyone to individually react to, unless your in teams or we're all in a group, then i will set them up accordingly.
