Ash
AGE;
Seventeen
GENDER;
Male
ANIMAL;
Black Panther
DETAILED DESCRIPTION;
Standing at a lofty height of 6'3", Ash is nothing but lean muscle and a crooked grin. His longish, dark hair flops down into his eyes, which are a curious mix of grey and green. His pupils are not human, though, and are instead black slits that cut through his iris. A light smattering of freckles appears along his jaw and throat. In addition to all of the normal body parts a human has, he now has a long black tail. He's not quite sure why it's covered in fur while the rest of him is normal, but he doesn't question it. He moves much like a cat, in a sort of stalking, deliberate way. His movements are fluid and graceful; even when he is just walking across a room, it is difficult to take your eyes off of him. It is this fluidity that makes him light on his feet, so that he barely makes a sound as he moves, allowing him to sneak right up beside you without you knowing it until you feel his breath on the back of your neck.
ANIMAL (DIS)ADVANTAGES;
Ash now has retractable claws on both his hands and feet. Much like a cat, these claws continue to grow, so he has to make sure they are kept short and sharp. Otherwise, it becomes painful to use his Wolverine-like claws. His balance has improved, as well as his flexibility. He almost always lands on his feet, but will tell you that he [i]always lands on his feet. His eyesight has also improved tremendously, allowing him to see in near-pitch-black conditions.
PERSONALITY;
The best way to describe Asher is suave. He is a silver-tongued charmer, and he knows how to get what he wants. That's not to say he's manipulative, but he is certainly difficult to resist. He can come across as a gentleman or a total creep, depending on how you take him. Sometimes he seems cold or uncaring, but this is rarely the case; he just worries about very little, and it seems pointless to him to fret over things he has no control over.
Occasionally, he may appear unmotivated, but he is really just thinking or planning his next move (sometimes, though, he is just being lazy). When not planning, he is focused and determined on a particular goal, constantly striving to achieve it or obtain his prey. He is a risk taker, but it is always a calculated risk. This can seem like impulsive behavior, but be assured, he has considered the outcomes.
He has always been somewhat of a loner, but forms close bonds with those he cares about. If anyone tries to harm his friends, he will become violent and vindictive. Heaven forbid they actually kill them. There's no telling what he would do.
HISTORY;
Asher was born to a drug-addict of a mother who had no idea who his father was. He was seized by the state of New York when he was three, as his mother was deemed unfit to care for him, and he had no known living relatives. He was in the foster care system for most of his childhood, never living in a particular foster home for more than a year. He never had anything that he could call his own, except for a small cord bracelet his mother had given him the day the social workers had taken him away. Finally, when he was fourteen, he was sent to a group home for "troubled" foster kids, as he was constantly getting caught trying to sneak into casinos to gamble (he had a weird obsession with it at a young age) or getting into fights with other foster kids or with the kids at school.

Miles, Milo
AGE;
Sixteen
GENDER;
Female
ANIMAL;
Swift Fox
DETAILED DESCRIPTION;
Long and lean, from a distance Annalise would appear to be tall. However, she is quite the contrary. Rather short at 5'3", she is quite small, weighing in at about 90 to 95 pounds. Her proportions are rather graceful, though, almost like those of a dancer, even though she's never danced a day in her life. Her most distinguishing feature would be her keen grey eyes that seem to regard the world with sharp curiosity. They show so much about her, as her mood is usually clearly seen by others just by a simple glance at her eyes, causing her to be a nearly open book. Freckles lightly sprinkle across her straight nose that dips down to her soft mouth, which can usually be seen being nibbled on in concentration. When not in a serious mood, though, her smile comes easily and is rather contagious. Her long, dark hair has a touch of auburn in it, and it comes just past the bottom of her shoulder blades. She usually keeps it tied back out of her way, though. In all, she is an exquisite girl with grace and beauty that she is curiously unaware of.
ANIMAL (DIS)ADVANTAGES;
All of Astrid's senses were increased dramatically through the introduction of fox DNA. Her senses of hearing and sight especially increased. However, she is currently unable to control how much sensory input her mind can handle, so she is often overloaded with a barrage of sights, sounds, and smells, causing her to have almost autistic traits where she withdraws from the world into her mind's "safe place" where she hums softly to block out sound and just ignores everything. When the scientists give her a set of noise-canceling headphones and dark sunglasses, she is able to function normally, as these help to block out enough sensory input for her to see and hear on just-above-normal levels.
PERSONALITY;
Astrid is on the quiet side. She's a goody-two-shoes that is afraid of getting into trouble; the worst thing she's done is stay up a little later than her foster parents allowed so that she could study, or read a book, or browse tumblr or imgur.
She's an uptight, nervous individual and constantly feels like she's walking on eggshells, trying to avoid offending anyone or getting into a confrontation. She is an introvert, and prefers keeping to herself because interacting with people is so exhausting. She is very much a perfectionist, and hates letting people down or not measuring up to her own expectations for herself. Despite her flaws, she is a very level-headed individual, and rarely acts on impulse. She thinks everything through to an almost nauseating degree, and never takes people solely on their word. She is smart and cunning, able to solve problems in unconventional ways. But if you can convince her to relax, she is easy to be around. She's got a affinity for puns, and considers them the funniest thing in the world.
HISTORY;
Astrid was the product of an unexpected teen pregnancy. Her mother, who was a mere sixteen years of age when she had Astrid, was not able to keep the infant for a multitude of reasons that were never made known to Astrid. So she has been a part of the Arizona foster care system for all of her life. She was lucky enough to stay at a decent foster home for the majority of her younger years, and they even considered adopting her. But they fell on hard times and were unable to financially support her, so she was moved to another foster home. This one was less homey than the last, and her foster father was verbally abusive. He constantly tore her down, reducing her self-esteem to virtually nothing. It was in this environment that she lived until she was fifteen, when the truth was made known to civil workers, and she was transferred to another foster home that was more reputable.
