Storybook Info: Characters Michael Anthony - Lion (Steggy) Layla Woods - Cape Fox (LeftyWriter) Emma Tanner - Barn Owl (HazelGrace16) Gwen Sanders - Timber Wolf (Sunshine1113) Neon Kingsley - Calico Kitten (Chaser) Daniel Alexander Torson - Martial Eagle (LordZeus) Riley West - Lynx (Europa) Jinx Gray - Siberian Tiger (Sonder) Charlotte Penn - Thompson's Gazelle (Wolfical) Ashton Cole - Capuchin Monkey (LeftyWriter) Stats/Info Created on: October 20th, 2015 Started on: October 26th, 2015 Posting requirement: Once per week Written In: Mostly present tense. 1st person POV or 3rd person POV. Plot In a distant future... tensions between countries are high. The Japanese are in the first steps of developing animal-human technology for the sole purpose of allowing people to change their appearance for fashion trends and social status. But when the US gets wind of the project, they see a much bigger picture and steal it for themselves to advance the technology and create an army of super soldiers. Taking the blueprints and research for a prototype that was never built, they tweak and advance the technology until they come up with the first working experiment: a chair which-using a mixture of radiation and a special serum-changes the DNA of those who use it to give them the ability the morph into a specific animal. While some of the original scientists were killed upon retrieval of the research, some were captured and forced to help them develop the technology. The chair and Morphing Formula is created in a Top Secret laboratory, tweaking the original research to make the formula stronger, better, and more powerful. The laboratory and it's experiment is so secret in fact, that they couldn't risk a medical trial or telling people they've hired as lab rats the truth about their experiment. No, they have to be much more secretive... Twelve high school sophomore students get the opportunity of a life time when their science class-and only their class-gets to go on a field trip to a working laboratory. Little do they know, their science teacher Mr. Neil is one of the scientists working on the Animorph project and is using his job as a science teach as cover. And little do they know, they're going to become test subjects on the project. And if everything goes according to plan... they may be the first recruits in what the US hopes will be their new army of super soldiers. But the Japanese find out who took their research... and what they're using it for. Being one of the US's biggest enemies in this distant future, they realize Japan will be one of the first targets of the super army. So, the Japanese secret service burns down the lab and kills all the scientists they could find in the hopes of ending USA's attempt to create a super army and possibly take over the world... starting with Japan. As if the ability to morph into animals isn't enough for these twelve teens to handle, Mr. Neil has gone missing-leaving them to figure everything out for themselves and now they feel themselves being watched. By who? They're not sure... The reality? Japan discovers the experiment had already been started and have set out to hunt down and kill the test subjects while the USA is trying to recover them and use their blood to continue the experiments, because they're the only piece of the experiment that survived. And they're not the only ones to catch onto these teens... A rebel organization is watching them, deciding whether to kill them, help them, or try to recruit them. While working to figure out their new found abilities and trying their best to stay out of the crosshairs of these mysterious organizations, the biggest challenge of all may be deciding who they can trust... or if they can trust anyone at all. Communication The Animorphers have discovered they can communicate telepathically. They call this "thoughtspeak". It allows them to talk to each other in their minds whether they're in human form or in animal form. But only the Animorphers can hear it. Family members can't receive it and other animals are oblivious. Ability To Morph and Partial Morph When in transition and their DNA is changing... they may have issues with partial morphing such as getting animal fangs, eyes, claws, tails, etc... that they can't control as well as fully morphing against their will. Once the transition is completed... they will be able to control it better and can only fully-morph. They cannot enhance their senses (hearing, sight, etc...) while they're in human form. However, when emotions are heightened, they may have trouble controlling their new abilities and have some issues with glowing eyes, growling, claws and fangs coming through.

Posted. Sorry it's not some of my best work. Not really any major plot development. Just some character stuff. Check it out @Sunshine1113

That was a really sweet post, @HazelGrace16. <3 I really adore Emma's character, and her friendship with Gwen.

*pokes @Chaser with a stick*

Are you still alive? It's been awhile since you've posted. :wink:

@Steggy since we're so close to the next round, I'd be happy to take up where the cliff hanger left off, but I think we need to figure more out about the spy and the file before I can. Did you have any ideas on what the info on the file is, why it was untouched, or why Mr. Neil has Emma's brother as a spy? It's fine if you don't, it'll just help to know what needs to be worked out and what doesn't. Thanks!

I think that'll be wonderful! @LeftyWriter

I have some ideas that are roaming around in my head after that certain scene that I can possibly give to you. ^^

Sorry about that. I've been trying to stall up til now, hoping that Fantasy might come back, to maybe give her word on what Riley would do. That's really the only thing Neon has to do right now, so... I dunno. I'll certainly try to whip something up before the next round, but I can't guarantee quality now.

I know I said I was coming back but I literally have no time. I have this major school commitment that has taken up ALL of my free time and I'm 100% sure it's the only reason I exist rn. I have an entire play to write the script for (or rather rewrite for the 3rd time), I have to cast it, help with props and scenery, then I have to help make costumes ;-; then theres directing it, I'm stuck choreographing half of it, plus I'm actually in it. And it's like hell week (or rather, hell month)

So maybe I'll actually come back after that's done. I promise I actually will come back, but gah! School ;-; so maybe I'll pop back in the SB at the end of March?

@Steggy I'd love to hear your ideas if you don't mind sharing. You're welcome to PM me if you like.

@Chaser Ah, I see. I'm not sure when Fantasy will be back but she had me take of Riley until she is, so if you want to try and plan something you're welcome to message me. But I understand if you just want to wait for her to get back. I think everyone has posted for this round except for you. When you said "before the next round" did you mean you're planning to post for this round before we move on?

@Sunshine1113 No worries, Sunny. It sounds like you've got a lot on your plate! Anyway, good luck with your play and thanks for the update!

Right now, it's coming out as a filler post. Just a bit of Neon's POV, and a touch of the love triangle. If anyone wants me to include anything they can't cover themselves, I could. As for the time of my post, I plan to catch the tail end of this present round. I'll probably have it finished within the next 8 hours, give or take a few.

Alright, done! Just resolving Neon's Kitten Impossible arc with Riley. I hope it works.

Fun Fact: Every Neon post has started with him running somewhere. This is what's known as a running gag.

Hey guys Im very sorry to say that since my finals are currently going on, I probably won't be able to post till the end of the month. Possibly later. I will try to post earlier than that, but please don't count on it. I apologize for any inconvenience!

@Chaser Awesome post! The "kitten of darkness" was great.

@LordZeus No worries! Thanks for the update, @LordZeus.

Okay... I think Neon's post marks the end of the round. Yay! @Steggy, I'll start working on the continuation of your post. I got your PM and it was really helpful. Thanks!
