Just a random RP thought. If you wanna genetically enhance your character with animal genes or make them stronger, faster, or give them elements, you have at it. =D You can be a scientist and a medic too, this thing takes place mainly in a lab. Also, you can be of other races, not just Irken, so go Vortian, Meekrob, or your own made up race. Just... go for it!
IC ~ The yammering in the cages around him disturbed the birk's slumber. Slowly opening one hazy orange eye, Reem scanned his surroundings. From the barred door, he saw several of the experiments charging at the doors, trying to escape. There were screams, wails, howls, snarls, screeches, what have you. Reem let out a small hiss and he opened the other eye, lifting his head from his wing. What the hell was going on?
(Ah, theye're my first fan charries. I just don't want to stick with them.)
Silence paced around her cage. She did not throw herself against the bars like so many others were doing; her vs. metal - she knew who would win. She was restless. She wanted to be out hunting, not trapped in some dank hopeless pit. That was where she belonged. The air, the sky, flying above the heads of the others in her clan. Fools. They rarely flew. Only in emergencies, like when they were attacked or the land flooded, did they brave the skies. She saw another winged creature, not far from her. "Hey, can you understand me?" she asked it in her husky voice.
Reem pricked one feathered antenna, catching the husky female voice from across the way. He nodded and came forward towards the bars. His dark green, almost black skin, gleamed in the light. The white mottles on his chest stood out against his complexion, as did the white streaks and tips on his crest, wings, tail, and legs. Putting his hands to the bars, folding his wings back on his arms, he looked at her. "Yes." he spoke, his voice almost like a chirp. He was obviously younger than most. "Who are you?" he asked, his feathers ruffling slightly as an experiment beside him rammed against the side of its cage particularily hard.
"I'm Silence." She wrapped her four clawed fingers around the bars of her cage. Her ears swivelled to catch all the cries around her. The light brown fur covering her body shivered as she sensed all the filth in the room. She wrapped her heavy coat closer around her. "Who are you?"
