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.

Sure, Hattable. I'll put down a Newt for you. Cool choice.

I think I'm going to go with a Fox. Just not sure which kind yet. There's too many awesome ones.

@LeftyWriter, thank yeee. Also, if you're going for a fox, don't pick @TheSilverFox. Those aren't cool at all.

~~I kid. :p~~

~~@Blaspherica~~ Tues, why? Why a dolphin? I mean, what if you suddenly change on land for some reason and can't change back?

DEAD.

~~DEAD.~~ Morph powers WASTED.

@LeftyWriter, don't be silly! I can't join because I'm in the same school and grade as TheCkockworkConjurer, which means my final exams are also starting on Monday. ^_^

Anyway, you should keep the name. But as for foxes, red ones are awesome, but Arctic foxes are even cooler, since they are white and scavenge during the winter, but they moult and become cunning carnivores that blend in with the brown rocks during the summer. Either way, have fun creating your character! (Silver foxes are the best, though.

)

@Hattable, newts are my favourite amphibians – after axolotls, of course. But don't diss dolphins – they're absolutely awesome.

Also, @Blaspherica, did you mean bottle-nosed dolphin? (Or is it a species about which I don't know?)

@AstralHunter, I'm not dissing dolphins.

But how ever would it survive? :O

@Blaspherica I'll put you down for baboon. I was wondering when someone would pick a monkey/ape.

@AstralHunter Ah, that makes sense. Well, like I said for SilverFox, if you want to jump in later, we can probably figure something out. And I was considering an Arctic fox, but I think I'm going to go with a cape fox. They're really pretty.

Have you seen a Fennec Fox?

Yes! They are adorable! I just wasn't sure if I wanted to go with them for my character. I might still change to them, though. I actually think I've gotten to see them at the zoo and they are amazing.

I'm jumping in before I have any regrets. I'm taking a calico kitten. Because kittens are power.

The hardest part of writing science fiction is knowing actual science. The same applies for me and realistic fiction.

Jump on in! Make a character anytime guys. Spots are filling up surprisingly fast.

@Chaser I reserved your animal. And kittens are totally powerful!
