Ugggh, due to unforeseen circumstances, I don't think I can finish my post today. I might be able to finish it on Monday, though I'm also trying to squeeze in my LMS writing and a review. If not, I'll see if I can have it completed by Tuesday. Sorry about that, everyone!

Finished (finally, but at least I had the spare time)! Please tell if the motto is too subtle or too unsubtle; it depends on how well you know Latin and/or the stories you've read, I suppose.

Why do we capital-N Nerds love Mars so much? Because it's beautiful, it's tough, it's buried in our mythic, childhood memories. It's covered with human triumphs but also with sad stories of failure.
@Gravity, I think most of us went for 14 (I know I did), but I think it was reasnoably balanced. Fourteen might be your best bet, though.
I'm sorry for not saying much - I've recently been logging on only after intervals of two to three days, so I forgot to check up on this. I'll try to catch up on the posts during the week and then submit one myself. I'll inform everyone of its content before I write it, of course.

Winter is inevitable. Spring will return eventually, and AstralHunter with it.
I had a character idea. A little girl, about 5 or 6 years old, maybe 7, who is an orphan with cancer. She would willingly participate in the labs thinking it was a new form of chemotherapy, until she realizes the true intent. I thought for her age to make sense in the storyline, since younger children are more resilient to cancer, that the scientists also want to see if the change in DNA can cure serious illnesses. They would want a patient as young as possible because generally with serious illnesses like that, the younger a child is the more likely they are to survive.
Idk. I passed my angsty preteen years, but I've never written from the perspective of a little girl. I thought she could become a little sister type character to some, if not all of the other characters, as a kind of glue to hold everybody together since there's so many. If you're not down with the idea then I'll try to create a charrie between the ages of 11-14, but it's really not something I relish the idea of.

@Gravity - I would be fine with a younger character, but I'd rather her not be sick. Kids being experimented on is already pretty intense--adding a serious illness into the mix might be a bit much. But I might be open to something a little less intense, like her being deaf or something, which isn't life-threatening and could be fixed with the experiment.

Awesome post, Fox! I just got my computer replaced yesterday, and I'll start working on a post! @LeftyWriter, since it's been established that everyone's there, what should happen next at the new lab? Something along the lines of a school orientation or welcoming committee?
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been very active. I started working again and my sister has needed me to start working for her again amongst other things, so I've been quite busy.
@Gravity, everything about your CP looks great and I can tell already that I'm going to love this character. But I have some concerns about the fact that she's not an orphan like the others. Where does her mom think she's taking her when she's brought to the lab. Also, what will happen when they're taken in by the rebels and the mom has no idea what happened to her 5-year-old daughter?
@Europa I'm going to start working on a post for Jared right now. I'm not sure a welcoming committee would make sense given that it wouldn't make sense for them all to get there at the same time. They're being told that this is essentially a half-way point between the orphanage and a foster home or adoptive family, so they would each be brought in one-by-one.
I'm not entirely certain what I'm going to do in my post, but hopefully it will offer some direction for future posts.

@Europa and @Oswin1800, let me know if I portrayed your characters badly or if there's anything you'd like me to change!

I realized that it's sometimes difficult to write other peoples characters, especially at the beginning because they've been written so little that it's hard to know how they would act and react to things. When we started Animorphers 1.0., we posted character relationships on the DT so we had an idea of how the characters would act around each other. I know none of the new Animorphers really know each other, but I thought it might be a good idea to post what our characters think of the others. Like first-impressions sort of. What do you guys think?
Also, is anyone interested in writing the escape for the original Animorphers?
EDIT: And page 2! Yay!

I think that's a good idea of doing first impressions! For the reasons you listed and it could give our characters a bit of background towards how they might've met/known the others.
Also, I want to write about how the Animorphers escape but I don't know how to write other characters (I lack kind of in that sort of area).
