Rose Waters /\ Female /\ 15 years old /\ 50% Human, 25% chameleon, 25% cuttlefish /\ Number 2 /\ Raymond

Rose scooted over a little bit as the boy she had spotted came over. He seemed pretty friendly, which made her relax a little bit, and he even looked to be around her age. At his question, she nodded with a smile. "Of course! Cacti are well known for being able to store water, you just have to get to the meat of the plant. If you squeeze that, water should drip out." she said as she pulled the meaty part of the plant out of the cacti she had already been working on. She then held it over her mouth and started to ring it out. Sure enough, a few drops of water dripped into her mouth. "Here, have some." she said as she offered the still wet cacti meat over to the boy. Soon, another hybrid showed up, above them. She couldn't say she recognized this girl either, but in the last dome, she really only met a few of the other hybrids. "I'm sorry, I don't. Geography was never a strong point for me even before I was taken. Is it important that you know?"

Dorak Maka /\ Male /\ 19 years old /\ 60% Human, 25% kangaroo, 15% platypus /\ Number 3 /\ Open

Dorak waited anxiously until he heard Gwen's voice. He hadn't even seen her since they were separated at the lab, which felt like ages ago. He wanted more than anything to go over to her and tell her what the scientists had done to him, but if he got any closer than where he was standing, both of them would be shocked again. "It's so good to hear your voice! I'm actually doing great! It's kind of like where I grew up! Have you found water yet? Or a shelter?" he asked her. Even if he can't be there to help her in person, he could still help guide her on some things. He couldn't just let her dehydrate or get sun stroke.

Dome hybrid
username: portgas d. ace
name: alice abel
gender: female
age: fifteen
natural or experimental: natural
dna mix: 50% human | | 21% Phoenix | | 29% Red-tail Hawk
appearance: alice is a five-foot-five female with a slender figure. her hair is rather long, and a dark brown, which unusually show's a bit of dark red shine when the sun hits it at times. her hair has been styled so she has some of a side bang, but her hair has been growing. alice has orange eyes-- yes orange eyes, due to her dna mix, and with the hawk dna, she can see about double to triple the length of a humans vision, though it strains her eyes. under those orange eyes, her cheeks are a tad dotted with freckles, showing a bit more with her her pale skin. with her mutation she has gained large, shiny wings. they take on a darker red/orange color, with yellow highlights-- or like an ombre to some extent. She also has some orangeish-red tail feathers that are long in length, and occasional feather sprouts around her body. Particularly her fore-arm and ankles. her face is a bit round, with her cheekbones being somewhat defined.
personality: alert, responsive, active, intelligent, sociable, observant, kind, loyal, trustworthy, selfless, cheerful, bashful, accepting.
history: being born in the fiery-cold state of montana, and in the eastern side, alice's family was fairly secluded. her...mutations often had them boggled at how could it happened, but they did not take her to any doctor, as they did not want them to find out. her family had taught her many things, due to her mother being a teacher at the local town. which was around fifteen miles away from their home. she was even taught flight, but that is another whole story to be told. before coming to the dome, some tourist scientists happen to see her at her family home, eventually confiscating her in the night. they took her to the first dome for one month, but now she has been switched to this one.
how long have they been at the dome: one month
preferred number: group five c. ?

Domestic hybrid
username: portgas d. ace
name: asher hywell
gender: male
age: 19
natural or experimental: experimental
dna mix: 50% human | | 40% saltwater crocodile | | 10% gray wolf.
personality: a bit aggressive, observant, intelligent, witty, cunning, dominant, loyal, protective, somewhat friendly, stubborn, confident, opinionated, quiet, devoted, stable, reliable.
appearance: standing at 5'11, asher is quite lean, fit, and active. his hair is long, and somewhat a messy dusky black. extending past his ears, just about to the lower end of his neck. his hair is styled with some of a side bang. his eyes are a steely grey, with his pupils reptilian like at all times. his teeth are very strong and sharp, but they are not blunt like a crocodile's. his jaw is quite strong, and is a tad defined. asher can stay under water more than most, and see clearly. due to the crocodile's third eye lid, and ability to stay under water for longer periods of time. though probably asher's unique, and clearly seen mutation is his long, scaly, dark green tail. which is strong, and reaches the ground in length. and over all with both his dna mixes, he is muscular. having better strength than most other hybrids.
history: taken here two years ago from his home-life of boulder, colorado, asher often thinks of his family. it started out with him getting a job, as his family was poor, at a local sport's center. he is quite active, and can be seen in pictures, or even videos, playing many sports. this sparked a supposed 'high paying job offer' from a man who apparently lived in the big city of denver. asher accepted, but he was taken to this first dome. getting experimented on to what he is today. he thought it was much better to work with the scientists, than to be getting constantly chased down and staying in the harsh habitats.

woo, getting to start a tad fresh again i believe. i brought my two characters from the previous thread over, but put their information on these forms and did some pretty large editing to their appearance and history and such.))

Ophelia Gable~17~Female~32% Snowy Owl~12% Red Fox~Tags: Rose, Raymond

When the girl told her that she didn't know the exact location of the desert that they happened to be in, Ophelia frowned uncertainly. Drat."Oh, okay. That's fine. Also, to answer your question, no, it's not necessarily important for me to know where this desert is. It just feels so strangely familiar..." She trailed off, thinking hard. She couldn't explain the gut feeling that was nagging at her, like she had been here before. But that was a question for another time, right now, she had to put her mind back into getting used to her new surroundings.
Ophelia slowly descended and faced the two, they all seemed around the same age, except that she seemed to be the oldest out of them. It was a comfortable feeling to at least meet a few people, even if they were strangers. She looked at how the younger girl used the meat of the cactus as a source of water, it was very clever, she wouldn't have been able to think about how to get to the cactus' meat. "That's a pretty neat idea, to get to the water inside this cactus by plucking off the needles," she mused. "Oh, and I'm Ophelia, what are your names?"

Gwen sighed with relief. He seemed to be doing well and at least they could talk to each other. "I was resting. I hadn't been able to find any water, so I was going to wait till night, when it would be cooler. I'm not used to this type of climate and I don't adjust well." Hopefully Dorak could help her. Without him or someone else, her chances of survival were not great. She'd never been anywhere this hot and the warm places that she had been always had a supply of water.

Raymond/15/Male/Mule Deer/Tags: Rose, Ophelia

Raymond took the offered piece of cactus and imitated her, squeezing so the water began falling into his mouth. It was wonderfully refreshing even if it wasn't very cold and he gulped it down greedily until there was no more. "Thank you so much!" He said gratefully, reaching for more cactus to quench his thirst.
He listened with interest when the other girl came flying down to greet them. None of them knew where they were, it seemed, which he found strange. It was pleasing to know there were others around and logically where there are people there are towns. But if that was the case, wouldn't at least one of them know their location? They couldn't all be lost. It was all very weird.
These girls seemed friendly enough though, and for that he was thankful. "I'm Raymond. It's really nice to meet you both."

"As to you both. It does make one feel a lot more secure to meet others whom in which are welcoming in such a harsh environment. I can't imagine myself surviving here alone, even with some experience," Ophelia commented truthfully. She watched Raymond quench his thirst, causing her to lick her dry and cracked lips. By thinking about her thirst, she realized how dry her throat was and how much she actually needed to drink some water. Now that was going to be a problem, water resources were scarce in any desert, despite the amount of cacti. "Would you mind if I have some uh, cactus?" She asked rather sheepishly.

If they where to find another group one hybrid that would be great. who knows, maybe some have woken up before them and have already found each other. If not Alysha wouldn't mind taking Dominique back while Blake left to find another hybrid. Even though he can't see well he has amazing hearing and will probably be able to track down a hybrid faster than Alysha. "sweet, let's go~" she practically sang and turned back around to head back in the direction of the dome. The domestic's where rather lucky, while the domies where out in the hot desert they got to stay in the nice air conditioned lab when they weren't needed outside. Alysha's tail swayed as she kept a steady pace to the exit of the lab. Getting to the door, the two guards guarding it let them through then they where walking through a tunnel to get to another door that lead to the dome. Even going through this tunnel it was fairly hotter than the lab. But as soon as reached the dome the heat was already killing, It was much much hotter then the lab. She glanced back behind her to make sure Blake was still following her.

Rhianna Foxglove | 15 | #1 | 12% Red-tailed Hawk, 10% Cat | Open
Riann awoke with a start, her sleep overcome by stifling heat. She rolled over in the gritty, dry sand and stood up, raising her wings over herself in an attempt to create some shade in the otherwise sun-scorched desert. She failed to remember what had happened between the time that she and Willow had caught the deer and the present moment: it was as if no time had passed at all, though she knew it had. How had she gotten to the middle of the desert? No doubt, this was the work of the scientists, but as to why, Riann couldn't figure out. However, she had more important matters to worry about at the moment: shade and water.

Blinking from the brightness of the sun's light reflecting off the sparkling sand, she surveyed the cactus-ridden land that stretched out around her, searching for anything that could offer some escape from the relentless heat. It wasn't long before her sharp gaze spotted a rocky outcrop jutting out from the horizon. In her injured and near-dehydrated state, it would be a challenging trek, despite the short distance. However, the promise of shade and the possibility of water made it worth the journey. She could try to figure out the whole situation and find Willow later, but for now, her own survival mattered, as she wouldn't be able to carry out either of those tasks if she was dehydrated to death. She glanced around once more, and began to walk towards the lone hill.

She was almost two-thirds of the way there when she noticed another hybrid a few meters to her side, half-hidden by a scraggly bush. She came to a stop and, turning to face them, warily called out, "Hello? Who are you?"
(If anyone wants to interact with Riann, you can have your character be the hybrid she found behind the bush ^-^)

Ash Kyte | 19 | #3 | 29% Grizzly Bear, 8% Raven | Tagged: Serena, Alex, Marc, Dominique
Ash blinked his eyes open slowly, still a bit groggy from the sedatives. "Wha...?" Why was it so hot? He sat up and looked around, shading his eyes with his hand-paw. All he saw was sand, cacti, rocks, and shrubs. So, he was in a desert. Had the scientists released him? No, they wouldn't just leave him out in the middle of the desert alone. After thinking about it, he decided that he must find out why and how he was there. Standing up, he picked a random direction and began moving. Sweat soon began to bead on his forehead; even without his cold-adapted animal DNA, he was never well-adapted to heat.

After what seemed like an eternity of walking, he spotted multiple figures in the distance, the shapes hazy from the heat but certainly there. Dropping to all fours, he began to run in their direction, sand kicking up behind him as he quickly lumbered across the desert. Soon he was within shouting distance of the group. He stood up and yelled, "Hey! Who's there?!" across the dry expanse of sand, letting his arms dangle like an upright bear.

Sasha Kessint | 21 | Domestic | 14% Jaguar, 8% Bloodhound | Open
Sasha was immediately alert upon awaking, and sat upright on her bed. She softly cursed as she got up off the bed, her long, patterned tail lashing behind her. She never actually consented to being sedated, and in fact strongly refused to be, but the scientists wouldn't take no for an answer and ended up forcefully injecting her with an incredibly strong sedative. The original effect had worn off after a day, but she was still very groggy at that point and it had been easy for the scientists to keep her unconscious. Now that she was fully awake, she was very angry with the scientists, though she was wise enough to know that it was in her best interest not to show her displeasure.

With a sigh, she checked the list of hybrids that was pinned up on the wall. "Let's see... Alexander Hale, Dominique Lucero, Rhianna Foxglove..." Alexander was very compliant, and would be very easy to bring in, though he tended to always be with at least two other hybrids. Dominique was notoriously feisty when it came to capture, and was extremely fast. Rhianna could also be aggressive, though usually ended up giving in. She figured, whoever she came across first, she would bring in. With that, she left her room and the Lab, and went out into the new Dome.
(Sorry for the dead-ended post, there's no hybrids Sasha can go after right now without running into another one of my characters.)

Blake Collins /\ Male /\ 17 years old /\ 50% Human, 40% vampire bat, 10% kinkajou /\ Domestic /\ Tags: Alysha

Blake smiled as he heard Alysha's voice and started following her. He didn't really know this new building, so it made it easier for him to follow Alysha so that he could follow the sound of her footprints. Soon enough he knew they entered the tunnel. He never really liked the tunnel since the sounds echoed off the walls, making it hard to orient himself, but the growing heat gave him him a good idea that he was going in the right direction. One out in the dome, the sun beat down on him, and instantly his black hair and black wings were much hotter than the rest of his body. "Man, that's some sun, huh? I guess I'll start searching from the sky, but I'll try to stay within site of you. If I get too far, or you find Dominique just give me a shout or something." he said with a smile as he fully extended his wings to their full 8 foot wing span. It always felt good to stretch them but he barely ever had room. Without hesitation, he took off, making a few circles around Alysha's spot before coming to a stop, or a pseudo-stop, since he couldn't really hover. He sent out a few waves of his echolocation, in a few directions, hoping to pick up any sort of hybrid close by. With nothing really to stop the waves, he guessed they went pretty far cause what he got back was really weak. "There's a group over that way, and another smaller group over there, but they are both quite far." he called down to her, pointing in the directions he felt waves come from. Maybe she would be able to help figure out which group, if any was the one they wanted to head towards.

Rose Waters /\ Female /\ 15 years old /\ 50% Human, 25% chameleon, 25% cuttlefish /\ Number 2 /\ Raymond

Rose smiled as the boy took the cactus meat and began to drink. He seemed like a nice boy, although the hybrids who she had met in the last dome were nice for the most part. Except for the domestics. She remember how terrified she was when they came for her, and how Marc had tried to protect her. Marc. She really wanted to find him, make sure he was okay. "Oh, my name's Rose. Help yourself to the cacti, just be careful not to get pricked." she said with a smile. Soon her eyes fell on the new girl's wings, and she couldn't hold back the question. "Have you seen anyone else yet? I'm looking for my friend. He's part tiger." she asked, holding back the part about the phoenix. Marc didn't even really seem to like that fact.

Dorak Maka /\ Male /\ 19 years old /\ 60% Human, 25% kangaroo, 15% platypus /\ Number 3 /\ Open

Dorak listened carefully to Gwen. He forgot that to some people this heat was torture. "Gwen, you need to find water. Any cactus will work really, just cut it open and wring the meat into your mouth. Then look for shade. If you can't find any, dig a hole. The temperature is much cooler a few feet down." he explained as clearly as he could. That was how he survived on his own. "You can do it, just think positive thoughts." he said, wishing that she could see his smile. Sometimes all anyone needed was someone to believe in them, that and encouragement.

Gwen smiled. Even if they couldn't really interact, they could still talk to each other. "Do you know if they've started taking in the dome hybrids for testing yet?" She hadn't encountered any other hybrids than Dorak, and she wanted to be ready the the domestics were going to come. She didn't know what group she was in, so it could happen anytime. Whether she would fight back or not depended on the domestic. She could probably scare most of them off with the threat of biting, but if the cyborgs were still a thing, she wouldn't resist.
