Mana Geared Hyenas share the same anatomy as the ordinary hyenas, however they are born with
metal intertwined around their left forearm. The metal contains two gems embedded into it and
the Hyenas use it as a controller for their mana. Each hyena contains the magic of one of
the four basic elements, fire, water, air and earth. Their left paws contain the
ability to use these given powers, which can be very destructive. However, the Hyenas will
only use their powers when threatened. Any abuse of power is punished by blackening the gems in
their metal gear, rendering their powers useless with no chance of re-obtaining them.

yess.. my first horror-themed hyena. :D
expect a lot more like this. just kind of generally creepy/unsettling; it's my forte!

name:
Apep

meaning:
Meaning "to slither." In mythology, Apep is the personification of evil, seen as a giant snake, serpent or dragon.

gender:
Male

element:
Earth

about their eyes & extra mouth:
Apep was born with multiple eyes and a second mouth, he is blind in all of his eyes except those on his face. But he is near-sighted and has rather bad vision. He makes up for this with his extra mouth. His extra mouth holds a tongue that is much like that of a snakes, when the tongue is flicked out, receptors on the tongue pick up minuscule chemical particles, which are perceived as scent. When he draws the tongue back into his mouth, these particles are sent to the brain, and analyzed quickly so that he may act promptly on it.

omg this is amazing ;u;

username:
Bandanna
name:
Dexter
meaning:
Dexter is a Latin adjective meaning "on the right
hand side, skillful, fortunate, favorable, proper, fitting"
gender:
Although Dexter is a masculine name, Dexter
is actually a female
age:
Dexter is currently 17 in human years
element:
Dexter has the element of air
about their eyes:
Each of Dexter's eyes are fully functional, although she
cannot see out of them. She is only able to see through
her actual eyes on her head. All the eyes on her body
watch over her when she's awake and when she's sleeping.
The eyes around her neck do not have eyelids so these are
the eyes that watch over her in her deep sleep each night.
Her real eyes and the eyes around her stomach/back side do
have eyelids so they will close once she falls asleep.
If one of the eyes senses danger at any given point, the
eye that sees the danger sends a signal to her brain.
This signal isn't just something like a poke, but its more of
a painful jab to her brain. This signal usually makes her cringe.
There has been times even when more then one eye sees danger.
When this happens, many signals are being sent to Dexter's brain,
making her cringe and just about lose her stability from the pain.
Some of the times when one of the eyes thinks it's seeing danger,
it's not actually a threat to Dexter. Therefore, this shows that
the eyes cannot tell the difference between a threat or an
innocent bird flying through the sky. In the end, these signals usually
give Dexter massive migraines.
about the extra mouth:
The extra mouth is what scares Dexter the most. Dexter is not
able to talk and can only make small noises, so the only thing she
needs her real mouth for is eating. She usually just breathes through
her nose, but she breathes through her real mouth only if she needs
large amounts of air. Though Dexter does tend to have a smaller stomach
and gets full very easily, her extra mouth thinks differently. This extra mouth
of hers tends to have a mind of its own. If the mouth is hungry, it
too will send signals to the brain. It's not like the signals the eyes send,
but it's almost like a small voice in her head telling her she needs to
get food to feed herself. Dexter has a hard time ignoring this voice
as it will only go away once she gets food to feed her second mouth.
Sometimes if Dexter is trying to ignore the signals the mouth is
sending, the tongue from the second mouth will come up and tug
on Dexter's muzzle and annoy Dexter until she does feed it. All of the
food the second mouth eats does go to her stomach, making her stomach full
and upset from having eaten too much food. This does no good for Dexter
but it keeps the monster of the second mouth at bay for a little while longer.
history:
Dexter has a dark history and has forgotten most of it. She does remember
when she was younger every other hyena would purposely avoid her, either
being scared of each of her extra eyes or mouth, or just being afraid if they
went near her they would either be killed or gain extra body parts as well.
Growing up, no one would want to be her friend. Her parents had left her to
die as they had no idea what was wrong with their child. Though she has no
memory of how she survived when she was real young, she thinks there had
to be another hyena that took care of her but later either left her as well or
passed away. Thinking of this, Dexter wonders if the second mouth had gotten
the better of her and killed this hyena who had maybe taken care of her. Ever
since she had started thinking this, Dexter has done her best to stay away from
other hyenas and made sure she wouldn't befriend any living creature, afraid her
second mouth would get hungry and take over her thoughts and make Dexter kill
the closest being to her. Dexter is disgusted by the taste of meat, but will eat it
if it is the only thing available. Otherwise, whenever there are berries, Dexter will
eat them instead. If Dexter ever goes swimming or to a lake, she will not look at her reflection
in the water, afraid to even look at herself. To this day, Dexter lives high up in the
mountains, a part where there's still grass and yet there's also snow.
hobbies:
Dexter's favorite thing to do is run. Each morning when she wakes up she goes
out and runs for about an hour without stopping. Feeling the cool air flow through
her fur makes her feel powerful, as if she can overcome any obstacle. Another thing
Dexter likes to do is watch the sunset at night. Seeing the sun set has been one of
the most beautiful things Dexter has ever seen in her life.
personality:
Dexter's appearance makes her look very horrifying and mean, but she is the complete
opposite. Dexter is a very, very quiet hyena. Since she doesn't talk, she feels there is nothing
to say and her actions will speak for her. She is not a very confident hyena and is
scared of a lot of things like hawks, any hoofed animal that's bigger than her,
darkness, and small spaces. She cares a lot about smaller, more weaker things than her
like rabbits, fish, small birds, and so on. Dexter is not a fighter and does not like it
when she has to hunt to feed her second mouth. Seeing lots of blood does make
her stomach a bit upset and she does her best to clean up after herself.
theme song:
Astronaut by Simple Plan
favorites:
color: teal
food: raspberries
season: autumn
activity: running

username:
Commander Shepard

name:
Nazara

meaning:
From some digging around, it appears to be a version of 'Nazareth', which may: "derive from the verb na·tsar, 'watch, guard, keep.' " Something I honestly didn't know (but hey, fits Nazara's looks!)-- I'm simply borrowing it from the Mass Effect Reaper better known as Sovreign.

gender:
"I am simply Nazara, watcher of the dead."
Sexless/Agender. Uses 'they/them' pronouns.

element:
"For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
Nazara's element is Earth, and they have a sacred duty to protect all who lie beneath. Nazara is capable of raising great walls of hard-packed dirt and stone, often to create passage graves or cairns for deceased Hyenas, and has used this skill to create a location as incredible as it is eerie-- their home, a necropolis that serves as the largest known gravesite for Earth Hyenas.
(the restriction to Earth being that I believe the other types would have other funeral customs-- cremation, burial at sea/river or some form of sky burial ^^)

about their eyes & extra mouth:
"Two dozen and one eyes to watch for those who would profane this sacred ground; a second mouth to ensure their remains never taint my earth."

(Alternatively: No sin evades their gaze. /couldn'tresist)


Nazara's eyes aren't mere markings-- each one is fully functional and gifted with exceptional vision, and even while their main two are closed in sleep, always open. This does have the... mildly unfortunate side effect of meaning they can only sleep standing up due to the big one on their belly, but they've managed. As for their second mouth? Nazara... well, Nazara is a hungry creature and nothing tastes quite so sweet as the flesh and bones of rogues; whether Hyena, human, or something else entirely, who try to break into the tombs and steal the magical gems still lying with their owners. Anyone who attempts to disturb their rest will be met with two sets of wickedly sharp teeth, then whatever judgement awaits them beyond.

history:
They did not face ridicule. Weren't shunned and scorned, weren't hated and feared... but neither were they revered, set up from birth to be some great being. No, Nazara was... well, like any other pup; save for a few accommodations that had to be made for their more unusual traits. They learned to use their powers, learned to fight and hunt like any other... and, once they were grown, were expected to go find their own place in the world.

Nazara found their place on their own-- so long, they had grown up seeing the remains of old hyneas simply left to rot, abandoned and forgotten by the pack before they'd been dead a single moon. They felt that this... this was a disrespect, that all names, great and small, deserved to live on, safe from scavengers and those who would try to steal the jewels that had been with the hyenas all their lives. The necropolis started small at first, just a few cairns created for those Nazara had once known and could still remember, but it grew-- another tower of stones over splintered bones found too late to save the gems, low passage graves for bodies, whether intact or savaged to some degree. Nazara knew such a lifestyle meant they were unlikely to keep friends or find another pack, but... in truth, they don't mind. Sometimes they fancy they can hear whispers from those finally laid to rest... and even if not, they have their crow friends, and that's well enough, right? Though, Nazara must admit... they are rather amused, by the rumors that have sprung up about them. Countless young hyenas have appeared in the necropolis over the decades, it's not an uncommon thing for one friend to challenge another to spend the night amongst the dead there. So long as they do no harm, Nazara doesn't mind-- indeed, they even seek out these youngsters sometimes, offering food, shelter and plenty of stories to any who don't simply bolt at first sight.
(Note: sorry the last edits are a day late, I'd lost track of the date >.< Everything above history was completed before the 28th though, so hopefully it can still count? ^^;)

username:
Kage the shadow
name:
Alucard
"The Bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame."
~Alucard

meaning:
Its backwards for Dracula
gender:
Androgynous {Meaning a combination of the two}
element:
Water
about their eyes & extra mouth:
When Alucard was a little pup, he wanted to play hide and seek with his friends. He loved mud, water, and sticky things. So when he came across a beautiful giant pond filled with gooey bright green slime he had wondered, 'why not?' It was all the things he liked, it was gooey, it was like water, and it felt like watered down mud, and his element was water. So Alucard had jumped into the pond of toxic waste not knowing what would happen and thinking he could hid from his friends but ended up mutating into what he is now.
Alucard's extra eyes help him when he is fighting and when they close they look as if they are never there. His extra mouth is like another person, his mouth or it's name is IT {not pronounced together like normal it, its pronounced separately I.T}. IT is Alucard's friend and has been ever since he changed.

Username;;
L Lawliet

Name;;
Donovan

Meaning;;
Donovan is a masculine name that in both the Celtic and American meanings mean ''Strong Fighter''.

Nick Names;;
Due to Donovan's name being quite a mouthful, most people shorten it and give him nicknames that roll off the tongue more smoothly when they address him. He is often called ''Don'', ''Donny'', and ''Van''. It's only very rarely he gets called the nickname ''Dono'' for it is a nickname that he simply does not like being used when people mention him.

Gender;;
Donovan is a male, I simply cannot see him be anything else other than that.

Age:
Donovan, in human years, is 19 years of age - making him around 2 and a quarter in animal years.

Astronomical Sign:
Due to Donovan being born on the 18th of may, he is a Taurus.

Sexual Orientation:
Due to him not being around many MGH's or even feeling an attraction to another, he is most likely to be Bi-Romantic Asexual. This is mainly due to him not having experienced any kind of relationship, weather friendly or otherwise, with either gender and so he doesn't know his preference. It would only be confirmed what sexuality he is whenever he gets to know other MGH's but at this moment of time, that opportunity to socialise is rather bleak.

Element;;
Donovan's element has to be Earth, for even mother nature has a cruel side.

Theme Song;;
Never Surrender - Combichrist

The Eyes Say It All;;
Donovan is unlike any other MGH for he is a tormented soul with eyes that are embedded into his skin. Whispers travel round the packs of him - some say that he obtained these eyes by reaping the souls of evil spirits that made him their home to torture emotionally for an eternity. Others say that he was simply cursed by a shaman for possibly stealing things - the eyes represent the fact he will always be watched so he cannot take something from someone else when it is not rightfully his own property. But alas, even though these little theories and folk-tales are indeed intriguing, the truth is rather down to science and more boring than the rumours. Donovan was born with a genetic mutation that caused the stem cells that would eventually turn into eye cells to split at a more rapid rate than usual whilst he was in an embryonic stage. Due to there not being any room where the cranium would be, these excess cells were moved to the neck and middle regions of his body. It has been both a good and bad mutation for him as he has grown older. Though it hinders his ability of gaining friends, it increases his chance of survival due to him looking more threatening. These eyes, even though they can move and blink, cannot be used to see out of due to them not having an optic nerve that is connected directly to the brain.

And The Mouth Rings Loud With Silence;;
At the same time the eye mutation had occurred, another similar mutation occurred also. Due to the eyes being in the middle reason, it took up most of the space that was normally used to house his stomach - which is now smaller in order to fit in his body. But, the size of his stomach had become too small to keep his body working 24 hours a day, and so he needs more food. This gave his cells a knock-on effect that made the stem cells create more bone ones in order to make an extra mouth in order for him to eat more and to keep his body going.

Personality;;
Donovan is someone that, at first glance, seems to be someone who will rip your throat out due to his aggressive and dangerous look which is influenced by the mutations on his body. Due to the cruel words he has received over the years, he has become cynical and pessimistic. He doesn't see himself getting friends any time soon and so he has to deal with himself - his own worst enemy. Once you first get to know him, it is rather hard to tell weather or not he is being genuine for you'd probably still be cautious at the way he looks - though, he will not get offended or hurt if you are still worried he will do something to you when you close your eyes or turn away for he has received the same discrimination for the majority of his life and so he has gotten used to it. When he is happy, which is a very rare occurrence, Donovan tends to be someone who is witty and humorous to be around, though it is also the time when he gets a little too hot-headed and excited when it comes to fights and the like. When he is upset, Donovan tends to stay away and dwell on his problems rather than have it in him to go and confine in another he trusts. If Donovan gets angry, it's best for you to stay away from him due to him being someone who will lash out and over think things. He will not think twice to attempt to mark you in some way - weather it be by a bite or scratch. When depressed or scared, he tends to be very skittish and his own body tends to fight against him due to his feelings. The tongue from the lower mouth will sometimes tease him by wrapping around his muzzle, or have it chuckle softly - though it cannot speak. If he is bored, Donovan tends to simply roam around looking for anything that could keep him occupied - though, the majority of the time he is hunting to keep his energy levels up instead of letting them drop threateningly low. Overall, Donovan has an old man's attitude where he is pessimistic and cynical about the way life is, who tends to look on the negatives rather than the positives - however, not the whole of his heart is corrupt and so there's still a rather small amount of good qualities in him.

Mental Condition;;
Donovan suffers with schizophrenia, causing him to hear voices in his head, sometimes hallucinations, and also gets delusional whenever he is at unease. Due to this, he can be skittish, have sudden outbursts due to his emotions, and also gets bad relapses every once in a while.

Likes;;
  • The Colour Blue: Blue has always been one of Donovan's favourite colours from ever since he was little. To him, the colour blue represented freedom - this is mainly due to when he was little he was kept indoors away from other people in the shadows whilst they got to live a life out in the open, with the blissful blue sky above them, and the cool rivers around them.
  • Caring People: Due to Donovan not being a normal MGH due to his mutations, he is someone who searches for people who are kind and caring towards him, who don't care if he is different and instead of making them a negative they help him embrace his uniqueness - however, he is yet to find someone like that.
  • Fulfilling His Hunger: One thing that Donovan loves to do is hunt to fulfil his exaggerated hunger from his mutations. He enjoys being able to chase after his prey or to scare others off from their winnings in order to get a meal.

Dislikes;;
  • The Whispers: Due to his schizophrenia, when Donovan is in a negative mood opposed to a positive one, the voices he tries to lock away in the back of his mind break free and cause him to hear them. It's unsure what he thinks the whispers are from, but it's more likely from the eyes over his body.
  • Large Packs: Donovan is somewhat a loner and has been for the majority of his life, and all his adult years, being alone. He doesn't trust people for his past experiences have left him with a negative effect on him - it's hard to gain his trust as a lone MGH, so it will be even more difficult to gain his trust as a pack.
  • Females: The reason as to why Don doesn't like the company of females is due to the fact that all the past fights that were with a female has always left him scarred and hurt due to them having a more violent tone to their fighting style compared to males.
