He Calls his tail Kio.







--impress me:
Altair is very shy and timid in nature, being born and raised in captivity.to escape all the nightmares and misery of the lab, he would beleive in the impossible, in fantasy.due to this he would always dream he could fly, but never could.now he still beleives in those dreams, but does not try and fly anymore.






~all of Altair's 'distant' family had died on the crash, or were shipped off on another ship.while having no current
family left, he has considered all of the other zvers friends and a few are like brother and sister too him.especially Ayumi. sense escaping captivity they have been like brother and sister, not knowing where his parents were at sense he was born in a lab.for all he knew, they could be dead.ayumi and him have always protected each other sense his escape.

Urgh. Withdrawing because I have no inspiration whatsoever

[Daytime-Despair]

I'm scared. We'll be ok, right Zee? DIana?
Yeah we will! You can trust us!
Of course Artemis. We'll always be here to help

Username: Ender & Amethyst

Name: Artemis

Biological sex: Female

Gender: Agender, uses xe/xey/xir

Personality: Artemis is shy and reserved, and she feels awkward about her appearance. Many young Zvers mistake her for a new species, and are frightened of her tail, which she has nicknamed Diana. But when she is in tears or needs help with anything, Diana is usually the one to help her. She does have a few friends, but she thinks they are just pitiful of her. Only DIana knows Artemis inside and out.

History: Artemis was bred in a genetics lab for Zvers and other species. The scientists were amazed and proud of Artemis's features, and set to work testing her. They found that while the wings couldn't move, and they were just bone, the tail was able to see its surroundings, and even talk to its main body via telepathy. They started mixing her in with the species around the lab, with Artemis favouring a strange species the most, with her best friend being Zee. Fortunatley, the Zver's room and Zee's room was next door, so they could talk often. They started talking about escaping the lab, and after a few days of thinking, Artemis agreed to the plan. They broke out as food was given, picking up some supplies they had hidden when everyone could play in the main room. So that started her life with her friend on the run.

They walked though many places, a city, a field of flowers, a forest so beautiful it seemed like it was enchanted, but they came to a river. Both Zee and Artemis didn't like water, and there wasn't a bridge in sight. A stray Hazard cat named Kaz greeted them and helped them across with a tunnel that she dug, connecting the two sides of the river. After saying goodbye, they carried on with their travels. They reached a small village, where they found a abandoned house. They decided to live there together, free from the lab.

▪Previously known as Project ZGen 0.9 by officials and by majority of the scientists, some have called them 'it', others simply just called them 'project'. They've heard other nicknames before from the scientists such as 'Abomination', 'Unnatural', and those were just the tip of the iceberg from what has been said about them.
▪
▪They have also heard scientists use other words that have not been directed to them like 'Disk', 'Monitor', 'Flask', other scientists names, and more. Since their escape they eventually found out that they needed an identity, they liked the names/words they have said and eventually picked the name Disk.

▪Laboratory life:

▪From day one, since they can remember there was a test, after test, after test. Test for durability, test for muscle strength, test, test, test, test, and more tests. There were practically a test for everything that needed to be checked over; then were rechecked every month or year to see if there was any changes in body structure, and to how they function. Which was a must, because from what they have overheard from the scientists, there were other, previous 8 failed attempts at the ZGen Project, some apparently grew unstable, while others never made it out of the test tube; so checking for signs of instability was a must. When the test was over they would be sent back into a caged environment which a small little forest, with a few tree's and tunnels to hide out in while the geneticists and various other scientists mull over what the previous test results have shown.

▪Dislikes:
▪Winter
▪Small spaces
▪Needles

▪
▪It wasn't too bad though in their opinion, aside from all the tests that is. They've been fed supplements daily, had a nice little forest all to themselves, the scientists and geneticists were kind to them, and even though they were not allowed to try and talk to the scientists, the scientists would sometimes talk to them in a one-sided conversation, which was nice to hear something different that the silence of their cage. They were never alone though, there was always a voice in their head, talking to them, telling them that this was not their home and that there's something more than likely better outside of the laboratory environment that they've grown up in. Which of course the idea outside' was completely foreign to the project. Their entire life was based on the almost constantly change laboratory, as they were placed in new rooms every time there was a test that needed to be done.

▪Personality:
▪Calm, Gentle, Curious,
Adventurous, Contradictory, Reserved,
Easily Discouraged, Shy, Quiet

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

▪The Escape:
▪One moment, they were happily playing around with a cardboard box that was recently placed in their forested enclosure to see how they would react to a new item inside, the next; there were alarms blaring as the glass wall that divides them from the scientists (aside from testing) was shattered. Three figures quickly entered the cage and shot Disk with a tranquilizer dart before putting them into a sack and making a run for it, smuggling them out of the building successfully. A few days earlier theres been talk among staff how there was a hacker that managed to steal some information of their projects. Some speculated that it was their rival company G-Labs, others claimed that other nations were poking their noses into top secret information, and others shrugged it off.
▪

Relationships:
▪Scientists/Geneticists - Okay with
▪The 3 Captors - Hate
▪Currently Doesn't know any Zver's

▪By the time Disk regained consciousness, they were immediately out of their comfort zone. The forest they were originally bound to became a small crate in the back of a mini-van. Stressed by the sudden change of enviroment, they began to thrash against the confines of the crate; which resulted in a lack of food and water for days. Any attempt to speak, disobediance, and escape, resulted in punishment for their captors. Occasionally, their captors told them that they'll "bring in the dough once dropped off at the rendezvous point". They have been stuck for what seems like forever with all the plane rides, boats, and long trips in a vehicle before a stroke of luck came during the boat when the crewmen mixed up the crates with the trash and ended up being tossed out at the dump. Where they finally managed to get out of the box and made their way to the city, even if their limbs were a bit weak from unproper usage.
▪

▪Going to the city seemed like a great idea at first, until they arrived. Where no-one would pay any attention to them and the words abomination and monster were thrown around again. Other Zvers would clear the area immediately whenever they would enter, scared of the unnatural appearance. Which didn't bother Disk, as there was silence, save for traffic and other noises. Plus there were free boxes to sleep in! An upgrade from the crate in their opinion. So they continue to wander the cities alleyway, however at night where all the city lights glow and shine in the night is their favorite time of the day. With various colors to be seen makes up for the bleak treatment given to them everyday, especially watching the sunrise in the upper city.

▪A Tails Tale:

▪The tail was a accident that happened during their creation, when the geneticists added one thymine and adenine into the DNA strand too many. It was a undesired trait that appeared along with their wings, and short height. While it was a interesting mistake that was noted in the project. The first early tests a few scientists hypothesized that the Zver was able to see through the extra set of sensors, ability to use the tail's mouth, and wasn't a separate entity. As the tests carried on, these ideas were proven true and less focus was onto the tail and they carried forward with testing the 'wings'.

▪Stats:

▪Endurance: ◉◉◎◎◎

▪
▪Complete isolation can do things to everyone. Growing up in a place where you are not permitted to speak, completing various tests, and only hearing new and old words spoken from others can ease boredom for a little while. Disk began to pretend that their tail was someone else, a friend of sorts. Telling stories about what on during their day, more or less fictional. Attempting to gossip with the limited vocabulary set about the other scientists. Along with trying to play with their tail. Though sharing the same set of eyes Disk's tail put's the meaning "eyes on the back of my tail" into reality.

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

▪Winged Zver:
▪Like the tail, the wings were caused by extra A and T's added to the DNA strand, however this was intended. To mix in a bird like gene that creates something akin to a birds wing to give flight, and to use it for the ZGen Projects final product. To everyones disappointment through tests, the wings proved to be unusable and just turned out to be something similar to the cause of winged cats.
▪
▪Despite this; hearing various mentions of birds messing up the scientists "cars" and stealing from waste bins. Disk was only left with a very vague idea of them. It wasn't until a new creature appeared in their enclosure that was deducted to be a bird. Where it was very noisey and bothersome. Aside from that, there was something about it that amazed them. The ability to fly freely; without the limitation of gravity the bird enjoyed flying high up above them and that one day, they wish to fly up with the bird.

ＢＥＨＩＮＤ ＴＨＥ ＮＡＭＥ:

Ｍｙ Ｒｅａｓｏｎｓ:
First off, here is the definition of their name:
Shahin: Means "peregrine falcon" in Persian.
Lamya: Means "having beautiful dark lips" in Arabic.
Quetzalcoatl: Means "feathered snake" in Nahuatl, derived from quetzalli "feather" and coatl "snake". In Aztec and other Mesoamerican mythology he was the god of the sky and a creator of humans.

Personally, I liked the exotic sound of Shahin and I felt that no one else would use it, which would make it more unique. Although, I'll admit that Horus and Ákos were close seconds and thirds for his first name, especially Horus since I'm into Egyptian Mythology, but in the end, I just liked Shahin because it sounded more demure and sorta secretive, like underneath his docility, there lay something fierce inside.
I chose Lamya for non-literal reasons. I know that the mouth on the tail doesn't have dark lips, nor could they be said to be beautiful, but I felt that there was another meaning behind the definition which sorta fit what I had in mind for Shahin's tail's head. My idea was that in her mind, she is beautiful, and it's dark in that she tends to use her mouth most commonly for mean reasons, such as biting/fighting or most commonly, to put Shahin down. I sorta had this idea that she would be sorta Gollum to Shahin's Smeagle...if you catch my drift. X3
The last name, Quetzalcoatl, I was actually on the fence about, but I kinda liked it because I thought it sorta described Shahin's tail, she's sorta like a snake in some ways, but instead of being feathered, she's furred, but her design is that of a falcon, so it seemed like a good choice.

Ｈｉｓ Ｍｏｔｈｅｒ＇ｓ Ｒｅａｓｏｎｓ:
His mother had actually wound up in a lab in Persia for awhile and had come to understand and appreciate the beauty of the language there. When she had her litter of baby Zvers, which included the little mutated boy, she gave them all Persian names, even the mutated one. In giving her mutated son a nice name, she was (in a small way) defying her mate, who disliked the mutated child because he believed that he was was not biologically his son and even he was, he wouldn't have wanted to be associated as his father anyway. He had actually told her that she ought to kill him, but she refused to do so. She believed that he was deserving of life and therefore, she chose to name him. Due to how her son's markings were so similar to that of a falcon, she chose the Persian name that meant Peregrin falcon. She also chose this because she saw a majestic beauty like a falcon or eagle within her son and she was proud to call him hers.
Shahin's mother would often call him her "fluffy little peregrin falcon".

ＳＨＡＨＩＮ＇Ｓ ＰＥＲＳＯＮＡＬＩＴＹ:
Shahin is very docile, but under all the submissiveness, there is a zver dying to break free of his internal prison of tractability that he caged himself in to find the strength and will to do what he wants and be all that he can be. Shahin is very sweet and loving, he has a big heart and he would love nothing more than to share all of this with another Zver or even just another being. Sadly, his Lamya has no desire to really be his friend and he is often kept separate from other Zvers by the scientists.
Shahin tends to be easily discouraged by Lamya, as she is always there to judge him on everything. He doesn't like her bullying him, but he knows that she is one of the reasons why they are surviving and that he can't really live without her. He dreams of one day being able to find the courage to tell her that opinion won't influence him, but he knows that that won't happen until after they escape from the labs.
He is a daydreamer, and a bit of an optimist. He is often trying to escape reality from time to time and dream of what it would be like if he were a free Zver or a Zver living on their home planet of Quartan3. He would much rather be happy and carefree than anything else in the world.

ＬＡＭＹＡ＇Ｓ ＰＥＲＳＯＮＡＬＩＴＹ:
Lamya, by comparison is essentially the opposite of Shahin. She is recalcitrant, having a generally uncooperative attitude toward authority or discipline, she is very toxic in her attitude towards Shahin, often putting him down and making scathing remarks. Though she is mean to him, this is her way of dealing with her existence. She is jealous of Shahin because he can do more than she can and if he were to fall in love, she is afraid that she would be the third wheel, so she is actively trying to prevent him from falling in love with anyone and anyone falling love with him.
Despite all of this, she does love Shahin as a sort of brother and is very protective of him, which is why she feels the need to be the aggressive one. Due to her desire to protect him, she often stays up late in the night to watch over him while he sleeps and make sure that nothing happens, this often leads to her being very irritable in the morning.
Lamya dislikes being ignored, if she feels as if she is being ignored, she will often bite whoever is ignoring her to remind them of her presence. She is sassy and often given to being quite sarcastic. Lamya is quick to anger and is very brash, often choosing to fight when she feels threatened, even if she knows that doing so will result in a great deal of pain for her later.
She tends to be easily stressed out and often ends up biting the thing closest to her as a result; whether it be a cage bar, Shahin, a table, or the unfortunate being who happens to be standing too close to her.

by me

Please, rescue me from this,
The pain I’d love to miss.
My heart is shattered like glass.

Rescue me from this longing,
this longing to be loved
to be understood
stop these tears that I shed

Won't you please rescue me from this?
This loneliness I'd love to leave behind,
take me away and love me.

I beg of you, to rescue me from this
This prison cell I wait in
For soon the next round of experiments shall begin
The poking, the prodding,
I feel like I'm dying.

Please, I'm begging, pleading you to rescue me from this,
this daily torture that I endure,
the nightmare that never ends,
that changes endlessly and preys upon my deepest fears.
Save me from this nightmare so I may know what it's like,
what it's like to walk among the stars, to be happy and carefree.

Please, please, I'm imploring, beseeching you to rescue me from here,
Rescue me from this and show me the stars
show me the world outside
show me wonders.

Ｉｔ＇ｓ Ａｌｗａｙｓ Ｂｅｅｎ Ｗｏｒｔｈ Ｔｈｅ Ｆｉｇｈｔ

This story begins before my first Zver, Juniper, escaped from the labs with Marissa. Also, song quotes in italics are from the song "The Fight" by Eli Young Band.

I'm a freak. A freak among my own kind, hardly any of them even communicate with me. The lab scientists and geneticists keep me penned up separate from the rest of my kind anyway because I was their experiment. All I have for company is my tail. My tail with a mind and mouth of its own and I cannot control it. Sadly, my tail isn't the nicest or friendliest thing in the world. She has a bit of a mean streak, a will of her own and she tends to be overprotective of me. She calls herself Lamya, which she says means "having beautiful dark lips" in the human's language of Arabic. She chose her name as an act of defiance because the scientists refer to us as CC #5.100.
I feel like a monster. Who am I kidding? I am one. I'm an abomination.
I wasn't born, I was created. I was made in a test tube and then put inside my mother to give birth to. My mother. I miss her, she's still somewhere in the labs, but I've been separated from her for a long time. She loved me despite my appearance. Sadly, her mate loathed me, called me a freak and often voiced how much he wanted nothing more than to see me gone or wanted to see me die.
Sometimes, I wanted that too. If nothing more than to finally be rid of the cruel statements and facts, which I am constantly reminded of by Lamya in the dark loneliness of our containment area.
Who knows what the geneticists and scientists were aiming for when they made me, I don't even know if they feel like I was a success or not. Personally, I don't see what good could possibly be gained from All I now is a cold table, needles, and blackouts.
I should fight back, I want to fight back, but I just lie there and take it. I've gotten used this, I've grown up with this and learned that it's just best to not fight or resist them. It just makes everything hurt more and last longer. If you don't resist, it all ends faster.
This is something that Lamya never learns, she's filled with anger and rebellion. She always fights back, often lashing out at anyone or anything when she feels threatened. She's mean spirited, but not just to everyone in the lab, she's mean to the other Zvers, and I am no exception to her wrath. She is filled with anger and rage and it only gets her in trouble...us, in trouble; because whenever she lashes out, we both get hurt.
She's the only company I have though, except for the radio the lab tech who was charged with the care of us often leaves back here with me.
Oh, that radio. How I love it. The glorious sounds that pour through it, music, it calms Lamya and lulls her to sleep almost instantly and I get a chance to be...myself. Myself without her. What I'd be like if I was normal.
No, not normal, I can never be normal. What it did was give me an idea of what it would be like if I could control Lamya, tame the anger within her. Thanks to the music I heard coming from the radio, I was, for the first time in forever, getting to feel emotions I hadn't felt in a long time, ones other than sorrow and loneliness. Some songs gave me a sense of empowerment, that I could overcome these trials I was being put through.
Music was what brought me hope in this endless, bitter war that waged within me, was a part of my daily life, and the war between myself and Lamya.

Hope, it can make you courageous. It started out small, but now it's contagious.

I never realized how much of an effect my listening to music truly had on my life until the day when I acted on all the feelings that music had brought to life in me.
I wanted to escape.
This is something that I have never desired before. What life could possibly be out there for me, a Zver created by scientists to look the way that I do? Yet thanks to music, somehow, I had hope. Hope that I could have a life outside the labs where I have lived all my life.
Sadly, the day I planned to escape, I found myself in a new place. A different lab entirely and I was penned next to another Zver, a female Zver. She was a very sweet Zver and she didn't find me ugly or weird, which was very nice and something I was completely unused to. Lamya didn't trust her though, often hissing with displeasure whenever I chose to talk to her.
Her name, she said, was Juniper, a name which Marissa, the female human who had been assigned to take care of the our feeding and general care, had given her. I told her of my plans to escape and she told me of her and Marissa's plans to escape, we discussed the possibility of my escaping with them, but I was tentative.
I felt that if I went with them, I would only endanger them. I knew that the scientists would only be slightly perturbed if they found out one of their lab born zvers gotten away, but they would be out for blood if they found that I had been taken away as well. They would hunt Marissa and Juniper down until they found them and had caught them. I couldn't do that to them.
With a heavy heart, I declined their kind offer. Instead, I ended up staying behind in the labs for longer than I would have desired.

Why is it so misleading. When all you really wanted became so defeating. And time, well it only got harder.

After Juniper had escaped with Marissa, the lab's security was beefed up and trying to escape became harder, in fact, it was almost impossible. I watched as other Zvers tried to escape, some successfully, but most were unsuccessful. The number of foiled attempts were so great that at times, I almost felt like giving up my hope of escape, but I knew that I had to, because I had a dream. A dream to know what the outside world was like, what the sky looked like, what the ground would look like and feel like under my paws, I wanted to smell everything. I wanted to live.
Because my life in the labs...that wasn't living. It was nothing near that glorious concept; it was existing, surviving, getting by, but it was not living.
I noticed that after awhile, security started to become more lax when all the other Zvers who had been attempting to escape had given up trying, so the humans in charge of security no longer believed that it was an issue. On one such night when security was particularly lax, which was on a very hot summer day, I decided to make my escape.
I didn't even need to attempt to plead with Lamya to help me, she was only too eager to taste freedom as well. She managed to pick the lock to our cage quite quickly and we attempted to flee though an open window which was above some crates of of medical supplies. This method of escape would have been easy if I was a normal Zver, but my mutation that makes it look like I have wings made it more difficult for me to go through tight spaces and since the window had only been open part way, I couldn't get through. I couldn't "flatten out" my "wings" to help me get through either, so I had to use a board which had come off of a crate to help me keep the window open higher so that I could get through. Apparently, we had been kept underground, because when I came out of the window, I didn't fall from several feet up.
I wanted to stay there and take it all in, but I knew I had to keep moving, had to get far, far away from the lab where they couldn't find me. The first place I thought to run to was Marissa's, I knew from my communications with Juniper that Marissa lived in the country, perhaps I'd be able to pick up their scent and follow them?
No, that was impossible, their scent would be long gone by now, but I could still try, they were the only friends I had other than Lamya...if I could really call her a friend.

〖Into Shahin & Lamya's Relationship With Each Other〗

Shahin and Lamya's relationship is complicated and in some ways, quite toxic. They consider themselves to be two different entities, even it they are connected to each other, so they prefer to be referred to by their respective gender pronouns instead of a collective pronoun.
Due to their polar opposite personalities, they often get on each other's nerves. Lamya often shows no mercy to Shahin, being quick to deal him scathing remarks, harsh criticism, and reminders of the mean remarks that others have said. Believe it or not, she actually believes that talking to him in this way will help Shahin, that it will make him toughen up and cause him to become more rebellious.
Their relationship is very similar between that of a brother and sister, they may fight a great deal and seem like they dislike each other, but at the end of the day, they do love each other and genuinely care for one another.
Lamya often stays up late at night to watch over and protect Shahin while he sleeps, this often costs her because she ends up sleep deprived and very irritable, which means she becomes quick to anger as well.
After Shahin and Lamya were able to catch up to Marissa and Juniper, they had to adjust to life outside of the labs, which meant having to come to terms with one another and especially on getting Lamya to become less stressed out.
These days, they have a slightly more harmonious relationship, although it there is some strain between them as Lamya still criticizes Shahin for being a softy and weak-willed. She is also jealous on his forward facing view of the world, among many other things that she is jealous of him for.

ＦＵＲＴＨＥＲ ＩＮＦＯ :

♪ ♫ ♩ ♬ Ｓｈａｈｉｎ ａｎｄ ｔｈｅ Ｍａｇｉｃ ｏｆ Ｍｕｓｉｃ ♪ ♫ ♩ ♬

Shahin is very fond of music, he likes classical or orchestrated music, he's also into country music (the first genre of music he ever heard through the radio), he's also into some pop music, oldies music, really he's just a music junkie. He has acquired a deep, abiding joy for music, believing that it has brought him through many tough times. His favorite kind of music to listen to, of any genre, are the happy, upbeat, dance-able songs. The kind that weave a spell upon his heart and make him want to shed away all his cares and worries and just get up and dance along to the song.
To Shahin, music is freedom.
Freedom of expression, freedom to be yourself, freedom from all that worries you and weighs upon your mind.
It's an escape from everything when he can't physically escape, music brings him to his happy place, the only happy place he could have considering the gloom he's lived in most of his life in the labs.
