Welcome to Gaia! ::

Setting

Lab Exterior: The lab is called Calvator Laboratory and rests in the middle of nowhere, somewhere in the rainy Washington State. It is in an area surrounded by trees and forests. It is a fairly big building, made of mostly concrete, and it is definately in elementary condition as it is brand new. Inside, there are winding corridors and hallways that could confuse anybody who didn't know their way around. The lab also consists of an outdoor biodome for allowing the experiments some possible free-time but is mainly used for examination.

Experiments' Room: This is a big room with cages lined up along the walls forming an aisle of sorts down to the end of the room, most will be filled with the experiments; although here and there a few empty cages will be stacked against one another. The cages are fairly small, and have a small dirty pillow and a sheet inside them. There is also a tin water and food bowl. The cages have a smooth concrete bottom, like that of a garage floor and thick, close-together bars leading to a solid top. The entire cage is made of either steel or titanium, depending on what or who is being confined.

Scientists' Lounge: Oh yes, a lounge! Here is where the scientists hang out when they aren't busy injecting teens, conducting emperiments, or examining. It's a boring room with a small tv hanging from the ceiling, a small counter(like a mini-kitchen) with a sink, microwave, coffee maker, a small fridge with sodas and drinks and cold food. There are two tables with chairs in the center of the room as well. If you play a scientist or a perhaps wandering experiment that has somehow escaped, then this room will come in handy.

Outdoor Biodome: The outdoor biodome is actually very large. Is is covered with lush green grass, and a small man-made creek running through it. There is a meadow to one side, with softly rolling hills, and a forest with very few specimens of trees on the other. The dome is made of an indestructable plexiglass made by the Dr. himself. A small room is ajoined to the dome for the scientists to observe and take notes. The glass seperating the room is much stronger than the rest of the glass, as angry experiments have broken in and caused damage to the people inside, causing them to take extra precautions.

Observation Room: Scientists can examine any expirements in the Biodome in this room. It is a small, narrow room on the opposite wall of the Biodome with a wide window looking into the Biodome. This window is made of bullet glass to protect the scientists from possible attacks. Along the walls are several beeping computers, which are only to be used by scientists given permission by Doctor Calvin, or Dr. Calvin himself. For the scientists lower on the power scale, there are clipboards with charts and lists for each specific expirement.

The Injection Room: In this small, confined room, the teens are taken in, strapped onto a metal table and injected painfully in their arm. Usually there is more than one scientist in the room to do to procedure in case the vitcim were able to escape the high quality restraints. The effect of the DNA injection may take a long time, or it might just happen the moment that it has been injected, depending on the DNA, the character or the roleplayer.

Character List

Name:Kiara Moore
Nickname: Ki-Ki
Age: 16
Grade: Sophmore
Gender: Female
DNA-infusion: Ferret
Appearance: Kiara
Skin Complexion: Very light, but not pale. Red markings cover her body from her mutation.
Personality: Kiara was born as a very energetic child, often labeling her as troublesome. Her curiosity could never be contained, causing her to get into things most people would think crazy or insane. She can easily be distracted, making her seem like she has mood swings, going from sobbing to suspicious in seconds. She can be very affectionate, but it only takes one wrong gesture to send you on her bad side. Her mutation has caused her to be much more flexible, her spine being able to move in awkward positions. She also has begun the habit of 'happy nipping', meaning that when she gets over excited, she softly bites.
Attire: She likes loose clothes that let her move around freely on two feet as well as all fours. Her attraction to bright colors affects her wardrobe also. Therefore, she was brought in wearing a long kimono decorated in different colors.
Birthday: March 21
History: Though she was a great daughter, Kiara's parents often had trouble trying to contain her. They constantly signed her in activities to calm her such as cheerleading, arts and crafts, plays, girl scouts, camps, rock climbing, even dog training classes with her aunt's poodle. Gratefully, they worked, giving her parents a break as she finally slept through the night.
It was one day that she had decided to go adventuring, a strange substance was placed over her mouth and everything went black. She awoke a day later in a small cage. It seemed that all of her senses had heightened, causing her to spasm at all of the overwhelming smells and sounds. She later found a furry tail and ears. Red marking began to show a few hours later.
She doesn't appreciate what they had done to her, though she listens to them, hoping that her obedience will drive them to let her go. They often give her sedatives to keep her from trying to destroy her cage.
Likes: outside, being active, meeting people
Dislikes: needles, sleeping, contained spaces.
Experiment Number: 23
Closest to: Caretaker (who lets her outside)
Love Interest: None yet

Name: Ross
Nickname: N/A
Age: Appears 18
Grade: Senior
Gender: Male
DNA-infusion: Lion
Appearance: Ross
Since they injected him with lion DNA, only the tail and retractable claws appeared.
Skin Complexion: Pale
Personality: Rather haughty and snobby to those of different social classes. He believes himself to be the most perfect human being, no matter what anyone else says. Ross is somewhat of a Narcissist with a large ego. Any argument you have with him can turn into a complete debate with Ross usually the winner. Of course then he thinks even higher of himself and starts commanding everyone to do things for him. Because the orders are rarely carried out by the staff, he goes back to the corner of his cage and rants about how everyone is unfair. Ross can be a bit softer around females, because he used to love to read tragic romance novels. If they were looking for the perfect personality in their perfect human he would epically fail to meet any standard.
Attire: Ross is fond of silk shirts and vests, anything that makes him look like the aristocrat he is. Every inch of his clothing has fine embroidery and design, sometimes with gold thread stitches.
Birthday: May 5
History: Ross grew up as the pampered son of a French duke, always surrounded by maids that fussed over him like mother hens. He was the best at everything, leading to few real friendships. It was the 19th century then, and one night, at a ball to show him possible wife choices, he went outside to get some air. All of the women were too infatuated with themselves and their money, therefore not fawning over Ross like he thought they should. A cloaked figure suddenly grabbed him, injected a sedative, and carried him off. Ross was given an “eternal youth” potion by Dr. Calvin’s great great great grandfather and surprisingly it actually worked. The doctor was delighted by this discovery, but grew suspicious of others, hiding this recipe. Where is the recipe now? It lies in Ross’s pocket. He was handed down through the years to each Calvin as a trophy of their scientific knowledge. Now the current Doctor Calvin is trying to get the secret recipe, granting Ross new and expensive things as bait to get him to hand over the paper.
Likes: Himself, ordering others around, money
Dislikes: peasants, chaos, “caretakers,” cramped rooms, dirt
Experiment Number: 1
Closest to: "First" Dr. Calvin
Love Interest: N/A

Name: Khaz
Nickname: N/A
Age: 17
Grade: Junior
Gender: Male
DNA-infusion: Dragon
Appearance: Khaz (minus the sword)
His wings were surgically removed a year after they were formed so that the scientists may study the anatomy His right arm and the right half of his torso remains shifted and his pointed ears are often hidden behind his hair. He never grew the tail.
Skin Complexion: Slightly tan
Personality: To match his dragon DNA, Khaz has a fiery temper that can easily spiral out of control, leading to small amounts of fire that escape his jaws. He also has a childlike personality that craves attention, even from those that cause him harm.
Attire: Leather jackets and pants, often layered with thin layers of other fire-proof shirts. Khaz almost always wears at least one article of clothing that is a shade of red.
Birthday: September 7
History: Brought to the laboratory at a young age, Khaz was brought by his mother, one of the staff members. She promised him that he would only go through a few tests to see how his body was maturing. By wearing a mask during the tests, Khaz was not aware that his mother was the one that changed him into a dragon child. When back in his cell, he secludes himself to the corner. Whenever his mother passes by, he calls to her and she enters his cell, to comfort him against her will. Because of his dragon-like nature to destroy and be extra active, he is tranquilized with medication and has not been outside in eight years.
Likes: Heights, chaos, and has a fascination with trees
Dislikes: Every staff member of Calvator Laboratory, cooked meats, and strong scents such as perfumes
Experiment Number: 14
Closest to: No one
Love Interest: N/A

Name: Kitsune Uryu
Nickname: N/A
Age: 15
Grade: Freshmam
Gender: Female
DNA-infusion: Fox
Appearance: Kitsune
Skin Complexion: Has the ears and tail of a fox
Personality: Very calm, happy, and intelligent. It takes a lot to get her mad, and the facility got her furious. She hates the facility that she's in but so far all of her escape attempts have failed. Lately though, she's been planning a really big plan that she doesn't think have any loopholes. She hopes that this one will work because she's tired of being a lab rat.
Attire: Black school uniform
Birthday: July 25th
History: Kitsune comes from a very wealthy family. She used to go to the best high school her parents could afford to send her to. One night when she was walking home from a friends house she got kidnapped. Next thing she knew, she was in a strange laboratory. Some scientists had her strapped down, and one of them injected her with something.
Likes: Open air, outdoors, and her toy (which the scientists took from her)
Dislikes: Being in a cage and confinement
Experiment Number: 7
Closest to: N/A
Love Interest: N/A

Name: Alexander
Nickname: Alex
Age: 17
Grade: Senior
Gender: Male
DNA-infusion: Shiba Inu
Appearance: Alexander the..useful?

Skin Complexion: Creamy Peach
Personality: When his brother isn’t around, he treats the other experiments with all the kindness and respect he can muster. The scientists have no problem with him, either.
But when the Doctor arrives…Alex turns into a whole other individual. It’s as though everyone else ceases to exist. He’s a people pleaser who seems to have no end in patience. One couldn’t necessarily call him two faced…could they?
Attire: When he can, Alex wears a loose white robe to symbolize his “perfection”. But he’ll wear whatever he’s requested to.
Birthday: October 15
History:
He also had a younger brother who idolized him.
They say dog is man’s best friend, but the Doctor proved that theory a failure when he used his younger brother as the first in a long line of experiments. At least Alexander believes he was the first. Obsessed with getting the approval of his elder sibling, Alex aims to “perfect” himself, even when he’s told that he‘s merely a “rough draft“ in crossing the perfect human.
Inside his cage he has worn photo of an old dog that he treasures. Wonder who it could be?

Likes: Calvin. Quiet times. Music. Collars.
Dislikes: Whistles. Any kind of dog “biscuits” and the like, though he‘ll eat it if requested.
Experiment Number: 2 (Much to his displeasure)
Closest to: Calvin (or so he thinks)
Love Interest: How could anyone care about that when his brother needs someone perfect?

Danny bustled about the kitchen, getting out ingredients and looking at ID cards made for the experiments' diet plans.
Mark, one of the workers, watched with a disgusted look on his face.
"You look like a damn servant, getting all worked up for those pathetic creatures. If it were me, I'd just feed them all garbage."
Danny let his comments slide as usual.
"That's why you're not the cook." he replied calmly, cleaning up his mess.

Kiara opened her eyes slowly, yawning at the new day. She blinked, annoyed at the white, furry tail hanging from above her head. She looked to the side to find her left foot near her left ear. She rose from her stomach, her feet and spine going back to a normal position, with her tail behind her. Once rubbing her eyes, she quickly set her hair into a messy side ponytail with her favorite (and only) ribbon.
"Morning morningmorningmorning!" she called out repeatedly, now wide awake. She began running around in the small cage, going up one side then the other, spinning and making a chittering noise.

Mark grimaced at all of the noise down the hall. "23's up. Time for a sedative." he commented.
"She's fine. They get to go outside today and she's excited. They haven't gone outside in a long time."
"Don't care. She'd be better if you just gave her more pills."
"I can't give her more than one. That'd kill her."
Mark shrugged. "It'd shut her up."
Danny sighed and put the last dish in the cart before making his way down the hall.

Kitsune woke up to Kiara's excitement. She soon became excited herself because today was the day that she was going to try out her plan. She started straighting out her hair, head and tail. Kitsune streached out as far as she could to loosen her arms and legs for the run that was up ahead. For her "good behavior" the scientists gave her back her toy that they took when she was captured.

Kitsune started gathering her plans. "Good, they all seem to be here." She sighed with relief. Then she started straightening out her clothes as good as possible, then sat down and waited patiently to be let out.
"Hmm, I wonder what's for breakfast today?"Kitsune thought because, hopefully, this would be her last breakfast here.

Dr. Calvin had just finished his coffee, taking the last sip before his daily argument with the experiment he despised. But he despised all of the creatures. As he threw his cup away, he noticed Moira come in as she usually did. He wasn't in a particularly good mood today, deciding to pass her without a word and leaving the lounge to check on the biodome's state before letting the "things" out.

Danny opened the door to the room, smiling to them as he did each day.
"Good morning everyone." he greeted politely. Knowing what they had to go through everyday, he liked to show them they had at least one person that wasn't going to torture them.

"Morning morning! Outside Danny? Please outside? Outside please outside! Run! Run please Danny? Outside!" Kiara shouted incoherently, reaching outside the bars.

Danny caught her hand, examining. "I need to cut your nails." he muttered before turning to her. "After breakfast. Back up." he ordered as he unlocked her cage.

Kiara obeyed, moving away from the bars and letting him slip in her breakfast, consisting mostly of plants with small chunks of tuna. She ran back up and began eating quickly.

Danny watched her sadly. She had only been here two weeks, practically brand new, and her mind was already being taken over by the DNA. She did sometimes speak full, complete sentences and behave as a girl would, but that was a rarity now. He locked her cage back and turned to Ross.
"Your majesty," he teased, knowing the experiment well. He gracefully set in his food, moving to the dragon. He unlocked the cage, trying to wipe the mournful look off of his face.
"Hey Khaz," he said gently, setting the food down and reaching into his pocket for the key to his shackles. "You get to go outside today. That's nice." he encouraged, unlocking his arm shackles so he could eat and leaving the cage. He gave a smirk as he turned to face the difficult one.
"Good morning Kitsune." he said in a challenging tone. "You haven't done anything in a while. I doubt you've finally calmed down..." he said, watching her suspiciously.

Khaz raised an eyebrow at the command. Placing his raw steak back on the plate, he stood to the best of his ability and to the ability of the chains that tethered him to the wall. Taking a deep breath, he blew a plume of fire through the bars of his cage towards Ross' cell. As the last of the fire escaped his jaws, he coughed, letting the smoke out as well. He repositioned the metal collar around his neck before digging back into his steak. His mother would be arriving soon...
