Full Name: Dave
Species: Feral Hyena Uplift, Cybernetically Enhanced
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Player: Atalhlla

Physical Profile:
- Feral Adult Spotted Hyena
  • Height & Weight: about 5'6"/1.7m nose to rump, about 3'4"/1.7m shoulder height, about 140lbs/64kg
  • Apparent Age: Adult
  • Character Build: Average
  • Body Type: Quadruped
  • Usual Clothing: Fur. And maybe some random accessories if he can get anyone to put them on him
  • Voice: : Spotted Hyena. He thinks he's great at talking, but it's a testament to the pattern recognition capabilities of the humanoid brain anyone can understand him.
  • Usual Scent: Spotted Hyena, though he's had his more odoriferous scent (and butter) glands removed to make living with "more civilized" folk easier, and on a fresher diet he doesn't smell so bad. Also, apothacary, satchel, Shana, and magic for those so inclined.

Full Description
He looks like a typical spotted hyena: stocky, stubby rear legs, spots, mohawk lookin thing. Except his tail, he has an awesome explody lookin tail.

He's short haired in the summer, floofy in the winter, and sheddy in the spring.

Not like a regular hyena, he has a couple of data ports and a Mini-TRS (1/8") jack just behind his ears. (Dedicated video out behind right, optical data and miniTRS behind the left) They're normally covered by protective flaps of skin, which also conveniently camoflauge them.

Also not like a regular hyena, his forepaws are now able to grip things, and he can articulate the digits indepenantly of eachother like rudimentary fingers, and he has opposable thumbs. They aren't hands, except for the thumbs, but do allow some amount of gripping and rudimentary dexterity.

    Spotted hyenas can and regularly do crush bones with their jaws. He can easily rip your arm off by chomping down on it.

    Description
    Rasslin' and tumblin' and general being childish. Another thing unlike regular hyenas is that he and his sibs never did siblicide; granted, they weren't allowed to. He's also taken down a couple fast moving ungulates in a team before - That was fun - And a couple of ungulates solo, like literally, two. He saw someone on Youtube do it once, and figured it couldn't be that hard. It's a bit harder with trees around.

Paranormal AbilitiesBackground


World Information:
Earthish, not too far from now. Obviously to a point where gengineering and cybernetic stuff is more feasible, and the US hasn't imploded.

Character Background:
He was conceived (Double conception, twins) and born in a lab, although he was an in utero birth. Far as he knew, everything was hunkydoory, and so he didn't concern himself with such silly things as morals. Well, okay, he wasn't old enough yet.

After about 5 years, he was fitted with the first cybernetic/organic components, which would later be replaced by better hardware as he grew provided such hardware became available. He spent a decent amount of time on the internet until that was closed off. For awhile. Despite best attempts, the hyenas kept working around that, so finally they had to spend some time with digital wireless capabilities disabled.

Tests happened, and as successful projects are wont to, it was deemed a success and moved to phase 3, which meant the phase 2 subjects were no longer necessary and were to be sedated and taken to Uncle Bob's Farm, which is a euphemism. The transportation carrying the hyenas was redirected by some of the staff members, redirected again by other staff members, redirected yet again by some less than scrupulous individuals, and most certainly not headed for Uncle Bob's Farm any more. En route to where ever the less scrupulouses were off to, the hyenas awoke and managed to work their way out.

After some clever route retracing and some radio work, the hyenas reunited with the staffers and lived happily ever after until an interdimensional portal happneed and took Dave away.
