| Experimental "Were-Panther"
| F | 24 years | 17' L / 856lbs
| Eyes: Yellow | Colour: Black
Jet is a gigantic black panther with bright yellow eyes, huge teeth, and massive paws. She is bigger than the largest recorded great cat: the male Amur tiger. Despite her enormous size, she is very fast and has exceptional reaction times. She seems to be stuck in this form as she traverses the world of the Chaplain, although this may be apt to change later on. She growls and roars and yowls like a great cat would, but she may still 'speak' with others via supernatural Communing; a form of spiritual telepathy.
Personalilty:
Playful - Huggable and adoring yet can tease to the point of borderline bullying.
Aggressive - Quick to attack yet always willing to fiercely protect..
Loyal - Will keep her word, never betray and follow orders like a good little soldier yet loyal to herself first and foremost.
Up-keeps Appearances - always clean and well groomed, yet sometimes pushes her grooming standards upon others too often.
Combat Intellect - Takes training seriously and knows routines, drills and procedures and can dish out much punishment but depends on others for guidance to 'fine-tune' her social peculiarities and awkward interactions.
-Likes-
Praise, Affection and warmth, Playing, Teasing, Physical combat, Physical training, Cats, Treats, Climbing, Swimming, Getting groomed, Night time.
-Dislikes-
Disorder and sloppiness, Frailty (physical), Dogs, Fire, Being called: "Kitty," being woken up from her little naps, large parties or gatherings (10+ individuals), deeper than superficial interactions without a 'buddy' with her.
Time Period: Alternate Earth in 2068
On this earth, almost a decade has passed and yet still there is no clear cut victor. One thing is for certain, however, the humans are losing. There was no great alien invasion, there was no god of any kind wreaking a 'reckoning' upon human kind. No, it was the rise of the
Bestiathropes and the
Hemophages and the eternal struggle between them that pushed humankind off its high horse and conqueror's throne.
The two warring factions have been rivals for millenia and they are better known as the Werewolves and the Vampires. Yet for all the literature and media that had been circulating and passed down to generation after generation, there were truths about the creatures from folklore and campfire tales. Weaknesses and strengths did hold some truths as well, however, one truth remained apex above all else; you could kill either by chopping their damned head off.
But alas, these two combatants had been preparing for this war to come to the light and out of the shadows for a very, very, very, very, very looooooong time now and very vigilant were they to make sure that when the time was right, they would be able to usurp the throne from humankind and keep their heads upon their shoulders.
Nearly 10 years ago, they came out from the war in their shadows. And nearly 10 years later, humankind serves as either the lowly cattle for the blood-drinking Phages, or as pilots or chauffers and general labourers or cleaners for the massive pawed Bestials.
The time is coming for the war to end. In 5 short years, the Blood Red Moon will rise and it will be high time that a victor be declared. For upon this day, the moon may be eternal and grant the Bestials the power to forever rid themselves of their arch-enemies and the sun may never shine again and grant the Phages the unlimited time to rid themselves of their arch-enemies once and for all.
The year is now 2068 and humanity will not make it into the next millenia. But their offshoot offspring, their experiments, will forever carry their seeds to continue their lineages and never be forgotten.
The Shamans and the Shifters are their legacies now and may they never die.
History
Jet was one of a batch of experimental Shifter 'great cats' that were used in the war against the Bestials and the Phages. She was born into captivity and in captivity she thrived. Out of a batch of 40 only 22 succeeded and passed the grade as 'usable stock.'
She was one of the more successful of the
Pantheris and actually rose to become second in command of her troop; the
Disruption. Their role was more along the lines of shadow warfare. They were the spies, sabateurs and assassins. Her group of 10 'great cats' were instrumental in taking out the West Coast military powerhouse base of the Bestials and instrumental in freeing a major homo-sapien blood farming Phage operation.
These last ditch experiments allowed many human establishments across the globe to turn the tide versus their hated enemies. The experiments were 'turn-resistant' and superior ones like the Disruption were 'turn-proof.' These superior ones were known as the Apex Shifers and their sheer physicality and ferocity complemented greatly the Shamans and the Shamans' spiritual and supernatural superiority. The Apex Shifters were also not slave to the moon like the Bestials and not powerless against the sun like Phages. Nor did they have deadly allergies to silver nor did they have deadly allergies to garlic. They did however have their bouts of rage and they too had a need for homo-sapien blood in their diet to function properly.
And because of these two weaknesses, and, even though they were now turning the tide versus their enemies, their homo-sapien creators found a need to have a back-up plan. Call it a contingency plan. They decided that if they were to win this war then between the Shifters and the Shamans, they would choose the Shamans. For it was these superior types were the most 'human' amongst their allies. And so was the project 'Antidote For Humanity' created. And so was the 'detriment' created.
This 'detriment' was an insta-kill weaponized ritual that enchanted a weapon that would slay a Shifter in one fell swing. The Shifters in Canada found out about it and much unrest and even pockets of open and willful protest arose across the country of the True North Strong Unfreed. But that was nothing in comparison to what was to come.
The enemies of the Project Antidote found a way to infiltrate and capture major players of the weponized ritual. And so into the hands of the Phages now was part of the means to slay their new uprising enemies. After some time, and in secret, an uneasy alliance befell the Bestials and the Phages. And so the other part of the formula was found; Bestial soul.
And after some time, they manufactured their own Antidote, and so were the Apex Shifters murdered in droves. And once more were the homo-sapiens the victim of their own hubirs; their own weapon would shoot them in the foot and once more the Bestials and the Phages would reign undeterred once more.
But the Disruption was still alive. And they had one last ditch effort to end their enemies version of Project Antidote.
Into the fortress did they go. And into the jaws of sheer desperation did they find themselves. Out of a team of amalgamated groups: great cats, great canines, great antlers, great raptors and great reptilia, a super group of more than 50, only 7 were alive to see it to the end. And in the depths of the fortress and just a heartbeat beyond 'The Veil' they found the source of the weaponized ritual.
She was but a child. A child yes, but this seven-year old was the umderlying source of the Apex Shifters utter doom. This was the turning point they were looking for. Jet's eyes were lowered when the sacrificial dagger found its way into the child's heart. The darkness of their act drew midnight hued curtains over her eyes.
And when she opened her yellow eyes once more, she was no longer in Canada. In fact, she was no longer on Earth 2068 any longer.
Other:
Jet is an accomplished soldier that is exceptioinally skilled in all three forms. She is a soldier trained for espionage, sabatoge and ourright murder. She has knowledge of multiple disciplines of martial arts and weapon combat training. She is a gigantic panther with surprising fighting prowess and is just a out and out murder beast and she may hide up to two medium sized weapons in this form; this is her spiritual vessel form and has to travel into the Spiritual Realm to change her form and collect the two items. In her hybrid form however, she truly is the Apex Shifter. Jet is 8 feet tall In this form and she is undeniably and superhumanly strong, fast, everlasting and durable.
In this form, she has the Shamanic Gift of Foresight; she is able to see things happen up to 13 seconds into the future and react and act before things happen. She must concentrate for at least 3 seconds doing nothing other than Commune but once she 'sees' what to do, she is liquid lighting in her movements and decisions. She also has a form of 'Spiritual Morse Code' called Great Cat Speak, whereby she may tap her fingers and into the Spirtual Realm goes her message and across continental distances will her message carry. But the recipient must have a proper ritual imbued upon them to receive the message. And in fact, those experienced enough may have permission to send a message back to Jet.
In all forms, she may see into the dark, has very fast healing and recovery, lightning quick reflexes and has exceptional senses, and she also has a form of telepathy due to her ability to Commune and may 'speak' with any sentient creature within her eyesight. But it is only in her 6 foot tall, homo-sapien form that she may enact spiritual rituals proper. Her rituals include; Communing with spirits, Enacting Favours and Fetish, Spiritual Aid/Attacks, Supernatural Knowledge and Bargaining.
