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.

That's fine, @Nightcrawler. I thought if those in animal form couldn't speak/thoughspeak to humans that it would add a level of confusion and complication, but perhaps it would just become frustrating. I think it makes sense that they can't thoughtspeak anyone but the animorphs, although I'm not sure when that would come into the story much since all the characters are pretty much animorphs themselves.

And no worries Nightcrawler and @Hattable. This is all coming together super quickly so don't worry about that you don't have your characters up yet. It'll probably still be a couple days at least before we get started.

Uhmmm...Hey. Is this invite only? Because this is really cool and I think it would be fun to be a part of this cast. I can have my character sheet up pretty soon if I'm allowed to join, cause I'm on all the time when I'm not at school.

I think you can join without an invite!

Hey, Fantasy! This isn't invite only, however, we are filling up fast. We originally had spots for 10 people and there are currently 11 people with reserved animals, however, it's hard to know if all of those people will end up participating. 7 are officially participating.

Perhaps we can expand the cast to twelve? or fourteen? I'd like to hear others thoughts on this. In the mean time, go ahead and reserve an animal and I should be able to let you know sometime today if there will be a spot for you.

Thanks!

@TheFantasy14 You know, I think we can manage at least twelve. Ignore what I said before. I'm glad that you're so interested. Go ahead and reserve an animal and create a character. We're happy to have you and we'll make it work.

Hey! Would anyone possibly want relationships with my character before hand? Just remember Emma is kind of shy so I'm limiting it to two probably. Even though I intend her to be nice to everyone. She is kind of a small friend group kind of girl. Also if you have any suggestions just pm or tag me! Thanks! I'm really excited to work with everyone!

@LeftyWriter I submitted my character, but I left the strengths and weaknesses blank for now because I have to head out soon. I just wanted to get it in since everyone else was getting their done. When I get back I can go back in and edit those parts.

Noelle is the name, reviewing and writing cliffhangers is the game.

@TheFantasy14 Awesome! Everything looks great except... someone has already claimed a tiger as their animal, as well as lion. Would you be interested in a different kind of big cat? Like Jaguar, Snow Leopard, Cheetah, Serval, etc?

Ok, cool. I'm familiar with lynxes. I've changed the animal on your character page and accepted it. Welcome to the storybook!

@LeftyWriter, I'd advise closing the SB now. Twelve is a great number, but it will already be a challenge to manage. If more members join, the cast might grow too large.

Also, congratulations on getting your SB filled so quickly! I'd love to see another SB rise to the ranks of PMD and Lincoln – maybe then we can have an SB triumvirate...
