Dear Opal,
Sweetie, we're sorry. The government insisted...we couldn't fight them. They took you, honey. But they assured you'd be well where you're going, and safe...I trust they were right.
Love you,
Mom, Dad, & Brale.
Name: Rivet (Her real name is Opal, but once she became anthro she changed her name to Rivet, after one of her bearded dragon pets)
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Animal: Bearded Dragon & Owl
Looks: Rivet is small and very thin for her age. She has long, sharp black claws and orange-brown scales cover some places, such as her elbows. She has spikes, similar to a bearded dragon's, on her sides. Her torso is mostly covered in pale gray feathers, like an owl's, and her eyes are large and slitted, and emerald green(She can see in the dark, thanks to this). She has a feathery tail, and large, very thickly feathered wings on her back. Her hair is long and dark brown.
Personality: Rivet is fierce and cunning. She hardly remembers anything before becoming anthro, only clips of things here and there. This changed her. She's become a loner, a survivor. Though her looks are strange, everything animalistic about her helps her survival. She is unused to talking to people, and usually just stares at them until they leave. She knows sign language, and often starts signing rather than talking, for it sometimes takes her time to remember the right words- while her sign comes to her much quicker.
History: Rivet lived in a comfortable little town and it never bothered her how nothing ever happened. Somehow, she always managed to find something to do for herself. She occupied her time with karate and caring for her many pets(her parents luckily gave her both of her bearded dragons in her pack, Rivet and BB). She gets clips of her past sometimes, such as her little brother and other pets she had.
Crush/Bf/Gf: None!
Pack Items: Three bottles for water, flint, timber, Rivet & BB(The lizards), salt, dried bark, her glasses(which she can't remember how to use), and a chocolate bar.
Other: None.
Dear Billy,
Hey there boy, I've been told you were taken to some lab. They said you were going to be experimented on, for the better. I agreed- they promised you'd be okay. I'm sure you will be okay, baby. Don't be scared.
Love,
Mom.
Name: Cricket (Again, renamed himself after he became anthro. His real name is 'Billy', and he sometimes still introduces himself as that)
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Animals: Bat & Rattlesnake
Looks: Cricket is covered in pale scales, though it's hard to tell because they more or less look like his skin- only they are hard and cool. He is average size for his age, though stronger- thanks to his animal traits. His eyes are yellow, slitted, and he sees heat-vision rather than normal vision as humans do. His hair is shaggy and black, uncut. He has short claws rather than fingernails, and fangs- venomous ones, like a snake, though the rest of his teeth are also sharply pointed. He has a long, thin tail with fur at the end(like a lion's, only black in color). Two very large bat-like wings come from his back, which are dark brownish-black.
Personality: Cricket is very shy. He hides and observes, and doesn't like to be found. Especially ever sense the government changed him. He's scared of what he is and what all of these other people are. But if you can draw him from his hidings, you'll find he is pretty smart and sweet.
History: Cricket lived with his mother from the time he was born, 'cause his daddy left. He never had any siblings and grew up a loner, getting As in school. He was a grade ahead of where he was supposed to be, when he was taken.
Crush/Bf/Gf: None..
Pack Items: A bottle for water, a small wooden container, a worn book, a small young ferret named Teddy, a change of clothes & shoes, a thin blanket, and a pillow.
Other: Because he sees heat vision, as a snake does, he can't see things such as physical features rather than height and such things. Despite bats being able to hear very well, Cricket can't hear well at all. He relies mostly on his vision.
