Calamity: Human

A soft padding of footsteps come running from the distance followed by a leap. They continue running until the sight of a house comes into view. She moves branches from her face as she makes her way out of the woods. Her golden hair shines blissfully in the afternoon sun as she steps out into the field and starts a jog towards the house. Someone is there to greet her as she approaches and waves a hand. "Hey, Aunti!" The girl shouts in a huff. "Another long day, Cal?" Said Aunti as she opened the creaky screen door for the tired Cal. She nodded in response, breathing heavily and sat down at the dining table. The house didn't seem like much, just a small cottage in the woods with old-school furniture laid about. "Well, what would you like?" Cal was slightly more relaxed looking, waiting patiently at the table, "Ummm... Lemonade sounds alright for now." Aunti is gathering the glass from the refrigerator when she asks, "What have you been up to in those woods? You seem to be gone longer each day." Cal was quiet for a moment. "Well, I just like being outdoors. Nice to be out than on my computer all day, you see?" She paused, "Anything wrong..?" Aunti shook her head, "No, no. Just seems a little, different. This just started so suddenly."
What Aunti didn't know, is that Cal was up to something quite different.

Jace: Avian-Currently No Flock

The view of the city night life from above is a sight to see. Never ending flowing rivers of red rear lights, and neon signs found everywhere. It's amazing how with all these lights, a large soaring lonesome figure could be spotted if someone took the time to just glance up once in awhile. People too busy on their phones, traffic, and other destinations distract from the beauty of the hidden stars. Thought Jace as he beat his wings to be higher. He loved the sound of his powerful wings, always reminding him that he's one of the lucky ones to be free from capture and "experiments" that he called "torture". Jace has been out in this city for four days now. He's been lucky enough to find a map on the outskirts of the city how to navigate, but he has trouble with finding out which way leads to what was "home" to him. City life, leaves an emptiness feeling in his gut and his instincts are urging him to leave this desolate place behind, getting stronger by the day. But where?
He suddenly arced to the left, and tightly folded in his wings as he dove straight down into the ever busy city.

Jade
Female | Avian | Tags;; Open
Jade flew through the sky, feeling wild and free. She spread her muddy brown wings out and glided peacefully. Closing her eyes, she felt relaxed for the first time in weeks. No responsibilties, no stress, nothing but freedom. She could hear the faint sound of birds chirping off in the distance, and it was peaceful.

Axel
Male | Canine | Tags;; Open
Axel ran through a dense forest, lightning fast due to his genes. He scanned his surroundings for any bird kids.

Red
Male - Avian - Flock: Open - Tags: Open
Red stretched his shoulders, his feet dangling off the edge of a steep cliff. He stretched his huge wings out behind him and let himself bask in the warm sun. He tipped forward and fell off the edge of the rocky surface. He snapped his wings open at the last moment before he hit the canyon ground. Red soared high, loving the way the the air rushed across his feathers.
Rain
Female - Avian - Flock: Open - Tags: Open
Rain sat crouched in the great-dane sized crate the whitecoats had stuffed her into. She sat in dirty rags, and her dark feathers were dull. She let out a low grumble and leaned against the cage's door, hoping someone would magically drop keys nearby her. Her stomach growled every now and then, but the whitecoats didn't care. All they did was keep on shuffling around the room, checking their charts and her vitals. Rain reached a her fingers through the bars when a scientist came close, but all they did was rap her across her knuckles. A frown was plastered across her face, and she moved away from the cage door to keep from being hit again.
Aaron
Male - Canine - Tags: Open
Aaron was sent out on an easy assignment, round up all the bird-kids. He walked smoothly past a people on a crowded street, they needed minimal pushing to get out of his way. He kept sunglasses shading his eyes as he scanned the skies every now and then. Aaron glanced around him for another time, but not seeing anyone who looked out of place.
Jack
Male - Scientist - Tags: Open
Jack worked furiously on his computer, typing in number after number of code. Finally a profile popped up, displaying a map showing many other labs like the one he was working in. He clicked on a dot in Europe and surveyed the patients they held. It seemed other labs were having better success with their DNA splicing. Jack stood up and brushed the wrinkles from his lab coat. He exited the office and walked down the hall towards the stairs. He descended the steep concrete steps until he reached the very bottom floor. He quickly swiped his card and entered the first room on the right, containing a few occopied cages.

Sasha Belov - Male - 30 - Avian hybrid - Location: At the lab

Sasha was no stranger to pain. By this point in his life, he'd been shot more times then he could count, beaten, tortured, left for dead, yet still, the ideas these slimy rats came up with still managed to be more painful each time. Their goal today was to test the limits of his healing factor. They stuck him in a machine that would stick, burn, and crush him to whatever level they set it on. All the while, they were drawing blood from him to the point that he was anemic, pale, and weak.

By the time they'd found whatever they were looking for, Sasha looked like death. It took three men to unstrap him and drag his limp corpse back to his cage. Sasha's mint green scrub pants were stained with little drops of blood, and his shirt had been taken before the test. His torso was marred with angry burns and inflammation, all at different levels of healing.

When shoved into his kennel, Sasha fell limp. He was usually one of the more difficult subjects to deal with: always fighting back, even after all these years. Half the time, they kept him drugged up so he would and get free. But today, that didn't appear to be necessary. He laid laid in a pile at the floor of his kennel, barely a sign of life in him.

Once his escorts locked him in and left, he slowly, painfully, rearranged himself so that he was a little more comfortable. No matter how he laid, he could never stretch out. He was far too big of a man to be living in these cages.

His grey-blue eyes opened and settled on the cage next him, with Rain inside. He watched her stick her fingers out, only to get hit. He opened his mouth to say something, but only a soft moan of pain came out. His eyes slid back closed and he stopped trying to move for a while.

Artemis;no tags
Artemis sat on a branch of a tree, looking down at the patched ground. Scientists and Erasers were really getting annoying. Did they really they they would win against her flock? She sighed, it wasn't always easy being leader, but it was like a six sense. It was as easy as flying, well, sometimes. She stood on top of the branch, snapping out her wings. They were a light golden brown, and about fourteen feet long. She jumped, plummeting towards the ground. But, at the last second, flew up into the air.

[storm coming.]

Jade blinked open her glistening deep blue eyes and looked around at her beautiful surroundings. birds flew all around her, clouds covered the sky.. she never felt so alive. i better go back to my flock, they are probably wondering where i am. she thought to herself, and with a soft sigh she swooped down from the sky, her wings spread out and folded a bit back.

Axel kept his mouth open a tad bit, scenting for any bird kids that were nearby. he knew that they wanted to kill him, they thought he was dangerous, when in reality, he was just trying to stay alive. so he had to kill them off, it was his only choice. plus he knew they would just try to get rid of his family and friends, he couldn't let that happen, could he? with his eyes narrowed, he wandered deeper into the dense forest. he soon emerged into a patch of sunlight, and looked around.

Calamity: Human Age 17

After having spent time with her Aunti, Cal shut the door to her room and jumped onto her bed, pulling over her laptop. "C'mon... Lag man..." Soon she had pulled up the internet and took out a feather hidden under her shirt, the quill tucked between her pants and belt. "Mmmmhm, let's see what kind you are. Never seen a feather quite this large and this shape." She tried searching through the photos, finding similar images, pulling them up but they were all noted as the wrong size. Cal had been searching for Light, Golden Brown, Tawny Feathers, when her Aunti came in. "What are you doing, girly?" She said as she put Cal's clothes down beside her dresser. "Research." She replied as she popped up another search engine, typing in the first thing she could think of. "Oh, on what?" She came to sit down on the bed next to Cal. Cal turned the computer to her showing: T-Rex. Aunti nodded, "Assuming a science project?" "Yup." Aunti got up, "Well, don't spend too long on there. Diner will be ready by 5." "Okay." When Aunti closed the door Cal went back to her investigation.

Jace Avian Age 16

Veering to his left he spiraled before flaring open his wings, creating an updraft and landed into a wide alley way. He pulled up his hood and folded his black wings as tight as he could under his sweater, but a few shiny feathers peaked out. "The night life here won't bother to say anything..." So he walked past the corner and into the crowd of bodies. This made him feel uneasy, but it's the best way to find some place to snatch a bite to eat. He could feel his stomach growling. Flying takes its tole on energy, but he almost always has to wait for the night. He's had too many incidents of his white feathers sticking out during the daytime. He found a hot dog stand near the end of the street and strided towards it, hoping maybe to snatch one while no one looks and make a hasty get away. Then he heard a commotion coming from behind, people's complaints as what looked to be at first a large man pushing everyone aside. "Uh oh."

Red
Male - Avian - Flock: Open - Tags: Open
Red tilted ever so slightly, cruising steadily across the width of the canyon. He barely needed to flap his wings to keep aloft. He angled his wings so he glided towards the dark specks in the distance, a city he would guess. Red made his way toward the growing lump of buildings until they stretched across the horizon. He folded his wings and streaked towards a place to land.
Rain
Female - Avian - Flock: Open - Tags: Sasha
Rain let out her breath in a sharp hiss as she rubbed her bleeding knuckles. She cast a glance towards the crate next to her when a moan sounded. She pressed her ear against the side of the crate, listening for something else. "Are you alright?" She whispered, her blue eyes flicking towards the cage entrance, hoping no one else would hear her talking. Rain shifted her wings uncomfortably, making the dark feathers brush against the back of the cage.
Aaron
Male - Canine - Tags: Jace
Aaron glanced over each of the individuals, noting any grimy looking ones. His gaze settled on a soared looking kid with an oversized sweater, and a nervous expression. He shouldered through the people, his green eyes focused on the boy.
Jack
Male - Scientist - Tags: Open
Jack walked up and down in front of the crates of mutants. "Do any show any 'special skills'?" He asked another scientist quietly. He gestured towards the row of crates that was to their right.
