C A G E D v.2.5 {{hybrid}} -- discussion thread

[neonlyrics]

Yes, this roleplay is basically always open c:
You can make a dome hybrid (domie), domestic hybrid, or a scientist, whichever you wish. However, if you plan on making more than one character at least one of them needs to be a domestic hybrid or a scientist, though preferably a scientist as we're kinda running low on those.
Forms are to be posted here in the discussion thread from now on, so as not to clutter the main thread.
If you have any more questions, feel free to post them here or PM me c:

ah thank you so much!! i have a sort of shapeshifter character i've been developing for a while that i was sure i could implement here. the plot etc is beautiful and sounds similar to something i'm doing with friends!! so this should be fun, if i'm accepted! i'll get working on her form now c:

Ah actually shapeshifting isn't allowed, it's just a bit too powerful of a trait, ya know? I'm not sure if it's in the rules (I'll ask Ashie to add it in if it isn't) but Ashie and I have discussed it together. Sorry if that causes a problem for you with making a character xc

ah oh dear no!! i should have worded that better, haha! i'll just take the form she can shift into and use that as her hybrid is what i meant! i wasn't intending to use a shapeshifter, i agree that's a bit powerful for the plot c:

Ohhh, that's fine then. Sorry, I misunderstood ^^'

dome hybrid
username ; neonlyrics

general

name ; zyr laike [pronounced zir lake]
age ; seventeen years old
gender ; female
sexuality ; bisexual demiromantic

appearance

hair colour ; dirty blonde
eye colour ; silver / grey
height ; 5’7”
weight ; 118 lbs [~53.5 kg]
physique ; lean, but packs some muscle

dna

natural or experimental ; natural
human ; 65%
hybrid ; 35% [serval cat counterpart]
visual effects ; due to zyr being somewhere
around ⅓ serval, she has faint but dark spotted
markings along her skin, as well as two feline
ears and vertically dilating pupils [slits in cat’s
eyes]. she’s a bit hairier than what would be
considered ‘the norm.’

personality

nasty traits ; aggressive, impatient, reckless,
short-tempered, very defensive
nice traits ; protective, innovative, quick
thinking, takes the lead
in general ; zyr is the kind of person who would
stand up on a car waving a flag and try to start a
riot. [she won’t unless the admins approve it
when the time is right, of course.] she’s a
difficult person to befriend, as she’s commonly
suspicious of everything and doesn’t take kindly
to backstabbing, but once you’ve hit her soft
spot she’ll defend you and remain by your side
‘till death do the both of you part. zyr was often
caught up in risky situations as a child, so she’s
used to trying to talk her way out of things,
and has a quick tongue when it comes down to
it. if that doesn’t work, she isn’t afraid to speak
her mind and risk a couple fists. she’d honestly
rather avoid contact with anyone altogether.

dome

time there ; brand new
preferred number ; seven
number ; [ tba ]

relations

friends ; [ tba ]
allies ; [ tba ]
enemies ; [ tba ]
crush ; [ tba ]

history ;
growing up, zyr had a fairly nice childhood.
her and her parents lived in isolation from the world
in a cottage in the woods, climbing trees, swimming
in the lake, collecting rocks and pinecones and the
odd trinket, and bringing flowers home for her mother
and father in the evening. they lived like this after
moving from chicago after the news about hybrids
started to spread. it was painfully obvious that zyr
wasn’t 100% human, and none of them wanted her
to be taken away. it was only a matter of time until
she was plucked from the woods one day by a couple
of domesticated hybrids. [ if you’d like to be one of
them, hmu. ] she was out farther than she had been
in a while, so the status of her parents remains
unknown by her. a day later she woke up in a strange
new setting smelling of medicine and disinfectant. a
scream was heard through the wall; she knew she
was in trouble.





hybrid perks ;
servals are known for their long legs, elongated toes,
mobility, large ears, and ability to jump. these traits
transfer effectively into the bodily design of zyr. her
torso is short, making due in her longer limbs. these
allow her stride to be long and put a good kick into
her jump. her fingers and toes are perhaps longer
than ordinary, able to reach into small spaces or
(when barefoot) turn quicker. serval cats typically walk
as much as 2-4 kilometers each night, and thus have
large amounts of stamina; zyr can sprint for a long
time if needed, but when she reaches her limit she
has to stop for a while. serval cats have large ears as
well, offering good hearing. her pupils dilate vertically,
and with the lucky addition of a tapetum on the back of
the eye as is typical in felines, she can see well in the
dark. she also has a short, furry tail - serval cats don't
have very long ones, and her human counterpart
assured it remained as such.




other ;
somethign i drew of her i guess: x

@Dire Since you've been pretty inactive lately, I'm going to have my character Emily leave Dorak to meet Zyr. So sorry, hope this is okay ^^'

[LostFoxInTheStorm]

I'll have my next post up on Saturday!

[alpenglw]

Don't worry about it c: Real life comes before this, of course. Hope you're having fun on your vacation ^-^

[mr.robot]

hello!

im pretty interested in applying for this but im confused - where do the forms go? here or in the other thread?

[alpenglw]

We used to have forms just go on the main thread, but figured that it was making it too cluttered. Now, you post forms here c:

[䏠xote]

alias[es]: not applicable
last name: ihejirika (i-heh-joor-ook-uh)
first name: masozi (muh-sow-zee)
nickname[s]: not applicable

gender: cisgender male
sexuality: bisexual
significant other: not applicable
offspring: not applicable

date of birth: 07/13
time of birth: 5:08pm
age: fourteen

father: unknown
mother: deceased
siblings: unknown
family: unknown

dna: 50% human, 50% cheetah
type: natural
status: dome hybrid

height: 5'7"
weight: 120lbs
blood type: b+
personality:
masozi is a curious and energetic boy who
likes to solve puzzles. he takes interest in
things that are hard to figure out, and likes
to challenge his brain with new and inter-
-esting dilemmas. he is full of hope and
spirit, and enjoys learning as much as he
loves collecting beautiful and interesting
items. he is generally trusting, but relies on
himself more than other people, not afraid
to spend time alone.

history:
masozi was born in a small african tribe
during mid july. at birth, he was already
showing inhuman features, and was named
after the dark streaks, or "eye lines", on his
face, as they looked like tears. he grew up
fairly normally despite being so unusual,
raised by the tribe as a whole since his mother
died at birth. he was one of the best hunters
for his age, able to run at incredible speeds
because of his genetics, and gifted with
better stamina than his animal counter-parts
due to his human roots. he spent most of his
time playing with other animals, especially
wild cheetahs, due to the fact that there were
no other children in the tribe. it is suspected
that his father was an escaped experimental
hybrid that possessed a higher number of animal
genes than human ones, as the tribesmen
recalled him as having been the spirit of a
cheetah. masozi was only recently captured,
abducted from his tribe in the wild savanna
not long ago.

__________________________________________________________________________

other:
because he is 50% human, masozi's
fur is very thin, with it being almost
non-existent on his chest, belly and
under-arms, yet very thick on his
back and neck.

[mr.robot]

Dome hybrid
Username: mr.robot
Name: Bondai Erian
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Natural or Experimental: experimental
DNA mix: 65% human 35% leonberger

Appearance: although Bondai sports a more humanoid appearance, closer examination of his face will show that he has elongated canines and teeth that belong in the mouth of a dog more than a human. Because of this, he is constantly accidentally cutting his tongue and the inside of his cheeks. His lips are littered with scars. His eyes are a light green, pupil surrounded by an amber ring, courtesy of the canine side of him. His hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and beard are thicker than the average Turkish man due to the canine fur, too.

Bondai is 5ft 8", 14 stone in weight and built like a brick wall. His time in the dome gave him the incentive to gain strength and build muscle, so, when he is not trying to survive or flee from scientists, Bondai is working out, going on runs and hunting for food in order to exist. His legs are almost entirely human, until you reach his calves. From there, they extend out into a more anthropomorphic set of legs and those are what he uses to jump, run and stalk so efficiently.

At the ends of his fingertips are claws, and at the base of his spine is a long, fluffy tail that curls ever so slightly at the tip. His fur is a dark brown, littered in fawn highlights with a blonde patch that starts directly on the base at the underside and finishes mid-way down his tail. As cute as all of this sounds, Bondai actually has slight deformities and horrific scars due to his experimentation. His hands are rough and fragile, his jaw is shattered and his nose has been broken in multiple places.

Personality: Bondai harbours different aspects of a Leonbergers personality, combined with a humans. He naturally wants to keep every one of his 'charges' in one place, and is violently aggressive towards those outside of his 'herd'. He is a protector, a lover, but a brutal fighter. Not once has Bondai ever gone to the scientists quietly, and not once has he given in to their hybrids without a fight. He will fight until he is either restrained, knocked unconscious, or dead.

Despite that, to those who he see's fit, Bondai is a harmless creature. He will offer his body heat as warmth to those who need it, and share his food and water sources to those who ask or seem like they need help. He is naturally drawn to weaker hybrids, whether that be of a romantic nature or simply instinctive is unknown to both him and the people examining him. He is bold and he is stubborn, but once he has lost a fight, he will remain indifferent and poised. He knows when he is beaten, but he will stare down his attackers all throughout.


History: Bondai originally came from a long line of bakers. His family would feed their village for years without much pay and, true to his nature, they would accept very little reward for it. They were a friendly people, incredibly family orientated, so, imagine their surprise and grief when 13 year old Bondai boarded a bus to the big city, where he sought to continue his families work. Unfortunately, living in the big city and being underaged meant that he was almost immediately thrown into a foster system, where he was adopted by his sister, River.

Together, the two discovered a love for science, and gave birth to the most horrific turn of events that could ever befall a family. Both of Bondai's adoptive parents fell into debt, and, with his sister working in a genetic modification facility, his parents offered him out to her bosses. No matter her pleading, they dismissed her, and went forward with their brutal sale. At age 16, Bondai was admitted to the hybrid project. He was studied for years as a human being and allowed frequent access to hybrids within the facility - all of which under scientist control.

None of them warned him. None of them even tried to hint at what was to become of him. Within months of Bondai settling, just shy of his 17th birthday, the experimentation and modification began, and, along with it, the torture of a teenager. He doesn't remember much from this time - the constant pain was enough to keep him only semi-conscious, and, when he was awake and finding new body parts attached, new instinctive pulls, he would terrify himself into passing out again. Eventually, Bondai grew accustomed to his new body and began to revolt against the scientists, leading to them turning him into the Dome.

Theme song {optional} : Smells Like Teen Spirit (cover)
How long have they been at the dome: 8 years.
Preferred number: 4, but feel free to place him wherever you wish.
Other: pansexual, turkish, never had a girlfriend, had 3 boyfriends, likes the colour pink

Scientist
Username: mr.robot
Name: River Denalia
Gender: Female
Age: 23

Appearance: River stands taller than her brother at 5ft 11''. She has a broad set of shoulders and the body of an athlete - she is under the impression that having anything less than a fit body will get you killed in her workplace. She understands that creatures may escape and, as such, she is ready for it. Her hair is an entire 2ft long, dyed various shades of blue. Her eyebrows are dark brown, her eyes are a very light blue and her lip is adorned with a single ring.

When she is not at work, River enjoys wearing clothes that either hug her figure or hide it entirely. Her most favourite outfit is a red checked shirt tucked into a pair of high waisted, black, shorts, with black tights to cover her legs and grey timberlands to protect her feet. However, when River is working, she is wearing her hair up in a low bun in order to discourage her hybrid charges from attempting to grip her hair. She wears a long, white lab coat, as well as a pair of black jeans a simple black vest that hugs her figure appropriately.

Personality: Outside of the workplace, River is a pleasant individual. Sure, she would rather be spending her time at home, reading or tending to her dog, a Beauceron named Astrid, with whom she competes in sports. She can be a bubbly, excitable girl with a natural love for all things mammalian and reptilian, though fish and birds bore her. Her excitement extends to a great deal of happiness whenever she is presented with something she likes and, as an easily pleased lass, that can be anything from a photo of a puppy to a free meal.

However, due to her history with her workplace and her brother being the sole reason that she's currently still working there, River is somewhat hostile and indifferent to those that she works with. Her hybrids are kept immaculately clean, well fed and exercised. Those that she has brought in for experimentation are knocked unconscious (each time she is riddled with guilt afterward) and kept on hold for 3 days to ensure maximum health has been achieved before they are released. She does this to irritate her co-workers and the management team, displaying her stubborn and revenge filled personality.

History {optional} : normal life, had bondai adopted into family, bondai was sold to her workplace, yadda yadda yadda, she's constantly trying to have charge of her brother but is always met with failure and excuses.
Theme song {optional} : Emporers New Clothes
Other: bisexual, likes dogs, favourite colour is blue, related to Bondai via adoption??
