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.

Just so you guys know, Dan's character relations aren't written in stone. If anyone would like their characters to have different relationships with Dan, please let me know.

HEY @TheFantasy14 I just noticed that Oliver's getting all the girls, while Dan isn't getting any! I guess our characters are in a sort of similar situation

Alright @HazelGrace16 here's Em and Riley's relationship in more detail. tell me if I got it right.

Emma
Riley and Emma are best friends and have been for quite some time, though not as long as she and Gwen. Emma is the song writer for Stint With Fiction, but makes Riley take the credit for her work because she's too shy to take it herself, a thing that Riley feels slightly guilty about. Emma, along with Ryker, is the only other person who knows about her heart defect and is usually the one who gets on to her about eating chocolate, since her cardiologist has told her to avoid it. They often hang out after school, and Riley will often try and pull her out of her comfort zone by introducing her to her friends (AKA Ryker) Riley can somehow pull off the impressive feat of bringing Emma out of her shell, which she jokes about nearly every day. Em always pretends to be annoyed, but Riley can see she actually thinks they're funny.

*dramatic announcer voice*

"Previously, on As the Animorphers Turn... Riley confessed her love for Oliver, but Oliver revealed he is Riley's long lost brother. Michael sat next to Charlotte's hospital bed after her car accident... or was it an accident? Neon discovered he's allergic to cats and Gwen saw the ghost of her mother. And just when they thought things couldn't get any worse... Jinx's mother Sophia Caroldo Delrosa has returned...with a secret that will shake the Animorphers to their very core..."

Before I forget, I should probably flesh out Riley and he bullying problem. She's not one to get pushed around. Usually when someone tries to knock her down a peg she starts running her mouth, occasionally throws a few fists. And if it's only a matter of someone yelling an insult, she just shrugs it off with a "You're just jealous."
While on the outside Riley seems unnerved by the bullying, on the inside she's pretty torn up about it, wondering

Why do these people hate me so much?

What did I ever do to them?

Why me?

All these crushes are becoming complicated. How abut we make one long list of them after everyone has spoken about their character opinions? that would make it easier to keep track of them all.

I find this so hilarious, and fun. It's gonna be cool because you will see some form, others will fall apart, and some will be completely unexpected. That so cool!
Who are we still waiting on for character opinions??

I believe we still need thoughts from:

Neon
Hannah
Ryker
Jinx
& Charlotte
