Subject: McAllanen has LEFT the building folks... she's off to sign records! Go get one and don't get lost in the hallways! XD!

I'm reposting my char stats because... erm... just because. Don't give me that look. =-P By the way, here is the page for Cat (and Wolf) Shifters. =^_^=

Name: Yajer (Linked to blue Zenthror; PhiaShip Evaka)
Gender: male
Age: young adult
Description: He's a short, slender white with bright blue eyes, a white blade, and white claws. He used to wear white clothing to match his fur, but since obtaining a PhiaShip, he was rather forced to wear her choice of clothing -- black silk breeches, an emerald green belt with various devices, and a satiny black shift with emerald rosettes patterning it... although sometimes you can catch him in a blaze emerald green tunic with a huge Olde Phia head sillouette in black on the front and the slogan I Love My Phia on the back. ^_^;; Though not very strong, Yajer's senses are insanely acute and his reflexes are good enough to actually let him dodge lasershot and bullets -- as long as he sees them coming.
Personality: An excellent PhiaShip pilot and a bloody good sniper, Yajer has kept his optimistic outlook on life despite the turmoil on Etreus. Even Zenthror, his rather large blue Kilven, is still immature and playful. Now that Etreus has been tossed into a civil war, Yajer has taken the role of spy and devoted lackey to Donovan, a former Guide. (Since Donovan helped him get Evaka and all. *G*) A much-hunted rebel, due to his having a PhiaShip, Yajer still tries to warn as many civilians as possible of the Rjin and the dangerous Council of Elders.
History: He's trained his entire life with the goal of becoming a PhiaShip pilot, and after a long while (and some pulled strings), he managed to become Evaka's partner. Not before, however, unintentionally Linking with his blue Kilven.
Species: (white) Tokathe

Name: Ihan Ahisa
Gender: female
Age: young adult
Description: Ihan is slender and average height with narrow wings that give her more maneuverability than endurance or soaring power. An agile flier, Ihan delights in speed, both on her own wings and in her own ship, the late Proud Tornado. She has soft, snow-white fur, a longish mane that remains untied and barely reaches her shoulders, a tufted leonine tail, and pale grey feathers. Though not very impressive in her cerulean sash about her waist and cloth belt slung low across her hips with her DB and other Olashi doodads sheathed, Ihan carries herself with an inner pride and self-confidence that surpasses simple pilot-cockiness. Now, if only her pale blue eyes wouldn't gleam so arrogantly and she could keep her sharp white claws sheathed... mebbe then she wouldn't aggravate so many people. ^_^;;
Personality: Though not the smartest nor gentlest, Ihan is highly intelligent and kind when necessary. She tends to speak with forked tongue, as the saying goes, and often finds herself accidentally offending the wrong people. This may be why she's only an 'average' pilot, despite her skills. ^_^;; Other than that, she has a pilot's typical arrogance, and although sympathetic towards most people's plights, she tends to be a little harsher than many would like. She's also not too perceptive and doesn't look too deeply into a situation unless she really needs to. Either way, Ihan and Sioveph get along wonderfully, as the Welphie tends to be the emotions of the operations while she's the brains. :)
History: See Sioveph's. Before meeting Sio, she was just an average student training to be an explorer.
Species: Olashi (more about Olashi here, including clothing, slim-wing mutations, and technology -- good reference for those of you unfamiliar with Olashi)
Height at Shoulder: Four to six feet, with males tending to be a few inches taller on average.
Coloration: Always a very light color. Either silvery, cream/pale tan, gold, pearl, or white. Their wings are generally a lighter or darker shade than their body. Claws are either silver, ivory, or white, depending on the shade of their fur, and noses are usually pink, unless fur is gold or cream, in which case they'll be black.
Species Description: Olashi are winged bipeds. With soft downy fur that is short to medium length and a slight humanish mane, they stand completely upright with a muscular body. With both genders' upper body vaguely akin to a male human, aside from the bulging flank muscles which support their wings, and toned digitigrade legs, they aren't overly impressive creatures. A very feline face plus two four-inch fangs on the upper jaw and one fang, just as long, centered in the lower jaw will catch your eye, especially considering that their jaw can unhinge and slide back and forward to cut flesh and bone in half with ease. However, Olashi are herbivorous, and evolved such a nasty set of choppers in order to break open the nuts and cones that they love. Some Olashi eat fish on special occasions, but that is the limit of their taste for once-living flesh. They have binocular-vision eyes, which otherwise appear feline, black or pink feline-noses, with long pointed ears that are slicked back against their skull with the tips curving upwards. Their ears will flick up in upset or alarm, or when being attacked. The ear can cup in a certain way as to funnel sounds directly into their inner ear - an instinct when in danger, when even the slightest sound means life or death. Moods can be judged from the tip of the ear - be it furled down (upset), curved up (pleased), tucked in (angry), or straight out (hiding emotion). Their hands are retractably clawed, with four fingers and a very long thumb. Their hind feet have either large paws or talon-like feet, both with massive, unretractable claws. Their tail is either tufted and leonine or avian. They have a set of avian wings, as well. Heavily feathered, they often shield themselves from enemies by enveloping themselves in their wings. They are superb fliers, going up to 200 mph in a stoop. In normal motions, they are still lightning-fast. Their language is an incredibly fast whistling one, hard to translate, let alone learn, for other species. About half of this tongue is out of range of human hearing, and a third out of range for the average Lavanian.
Species Temperament: Nearly all Olashi are skilled under pressure and have excellent logic. A species of scientists, mechanics, pilots, and adventurers, any Olashi will take a challenge and run with it... occasionally running off a cliff in the process. They are completely insane in some ways, rational in others. They're very open and trusting, even to alien species, but in the same way they're subtle and show only what they need. Unlike most species on Lavana, they evolved from Sky Tigers (as opposed to being Created from nothing), the only sentient race known to have done this, and designed and built the only high-tech machinery on Lavana.
Home Planet: Lavana, though they've colonized Base (technical name is Lybreth) and added some of their population to an already-sentiently habited planet just called Wings.

Name: Sioveph
Gender: double-gendered... so uhm... O,O both?
Age: young adult
Description: Attractive, really, Sioveph has a typically thick, shaggy pelt of dark brown hues interspersed with black, lighter on hes undersides -- very wolfish. Hes pawpads are a soft pink to contrast hes dark coloring, and hes eyes are a brilliant, intelligent gold. Sioveph is slender and supple like all hes kind and leanly-muscled to boot. Though most Welphies look almost frail, they're actually quite sturdy. Six legs'll give you that traction. ~_^
Personality: As as double-gendered, Sioveph has the full scope of masculine and feminine characteristics. Unlike some doubles, who strike a balance between the genders, hse prefers to alternate as the situation calls for it, going from totally feminine to totally masculine within seconds. These moodswings might be unsettling to those not accustomed to this third Welphie gender. ^_^;; However, as a well-traveled wolfy, Sio tries to... stabilize... hemself around aliens, knowing how easily they might be unnerved. Hse really is quite understanding, you know.
History: Nothing special here... Sioveph was trained as a minor ambassador and space-pilot, sent to Base to hang with Olashi a bit, as the Lavanians have an insatiable curiosity towards the Welphie species. Three genders and all. ;) Hse made an Olashi friend, Ihan Ahisa, during this stay and when Ihan was gifted with a ship and an 'explore-here' mission, Sio came along for the ride. Naturally, receiving a distress signal they came down to investigate... They were attacked once they emerged from the ship, and the government took it and uhm... blew it up. So now Sioveph's kinda annoyed and Ihan is a tad aggressive...
Species: Welphie(s)
Height at Shoulder: Um. They have two shoulders and are able to go both quadruped and biped. When on all fours, their lower shoulder is 2/3 feet high and upper is 4/6 feet. When on their hind legs, their upper shoulder is about 6/10 feet and their lower shoulder is probably 4/6 feet.
Coloration: Earth tones, usually wolfish or hawkish in markings.
Species Description: Well, they're somewhat of a 'taur-form - lower quadrupedal body and upper bipedal body. Their lower body is definitely canine, rather wolfish with a plumed tail, broad paws, and a deep chest. Their hind paws are very large and sport dog-like, blunt, unretractable claws, and their hind legs are definitely wolf-shaped. Their forelegs are shaped like wolf forelegs, and have wolfish paws with longer, more agile toes, and feline retractable claws. Their arms are humanoid, though their wrists are much more flexible than ours, and they have four retractably-clawed fingers with no thumb. Their upper torso is much like a male human's, with a slightly deeper chest. They have a wolfish head with a long, powerful muzzle, very long and mobile ears, expressive eyes and many many whiskers, as well as long almost-saberfangs and very sharp teeth with only a few molars in the back. Their senses are good, with smell and hearing being extremely powerful. They're covered in fur, which can be long, short, thin, silky, dense, etc according to where they live. They can go on all sixes, all fours, or just on their rather powerful hind legs, but it's rare that they go on all six limbs.
They have three genders - female, male, and double-gender, which is hermaphrodite/asexual, as you look at it. Referred to as hse, the possessive is hes, the indirect pronoun is hem. (Hse is playing hes flute. That's hem all right.) Basically, hse has both female and male genitalia, as well as mental settings, so hse can fluctuate between feminine, masculine, and a healthy balance of both. Hse raises pups on hes own, but there are also male-female mated pairs who have litters. A note -- don't refer to a double-gendered Welphie as an it, or you'll have a very angry, sharp-toothed critter trying to tear you apart. They take offense pretty easily. However, referring to a double as he or she isn't bad.
Species Temperament: Secretive, mysterious, but also friendly and open-minded. They're highly intelligent, brave, and loyal to the extreme. They do know technology and are avid scientists, explorers, and settlers, but they tend to avoid other sentient life if possible.
Home Planet: Thaizi (rather near the Tri-System, so most of their sentient contact is from Lavana and Olashi-controlled Base)

Name: Januya jin Jekki
Gender: female
Age: adult
Description: She's tall and muscular, very athletic with a bladed tail and longclaws on both hands, and excellent in combat, be it in space, with guns or blades, or hand-to-hand. With short, glossy black fur and vibrant golden eyes, not to mention matte black claws and a shimmery silver tail blade, she's definitely something to see - though you wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley. Normally, she dislikes any type of clothing, and her species doesn't need to wear any either, which suits her just fine. She wears her species' trademark weapon, gifted to her by a fellow Tarok - a circlet about her brow, with two slender gun barrels on each temple. On vocal command, this gunband will fire with enough force to sink a beam of energy through ten feet of solid steel.
Personality: Steely and often hostile on first glance. However, she has a sense of grim humor, approves of strength in a being, and is very intelligent. She's only somewhat arrogant, very down-to-earth, and responsible to boot. Her temper is short and when it snaps, blood flies. Losing her long-time Olashi partner, Kahni Jaemis, has shaken her up a little and reminded her of her own mortality, and she'll have moments where his memory haunts her. A trained assassin, it almost seems that all she has left to live for is battle and bloodshed...
History: An elite pilot partnered with Olashi Kahni Jaemis, Jan has traveled the local galaxy and fought more beasts than she can remember. She was assigned to several different planets, normally on hostile-exploration duty, but the most memorable assignment was on Terole, a desert fugitive planet. Terole was taken over by Drakka, against whom Kahni gave his life fighting; Jan would've died with him, but the canny Olashi stunned her and gave her to a grey Tokathe named Skavan to save. Since losing her partner, ship, and rank, Jan is looking for a purpose... and looking for revenge. The only one who can remotely break her mental shields is Skavan.
Species: Tarok
Height at Shoulder: Oh, from 4.5 to 6 feet, depending on the breed.
Coloration: There are four breeds, defined by colour - red (ranging from deep sienna brown to brick red), black, tan (ranging from gold-white to dark cream), and white (blue-/violet-white to snowy white to silvery grey). Reds are shorter and stockier, blacks tall and graceful, tans lean and fast, and whites tall and muscular, though it's not exactly rare for the colours not to conform to breed "standards".
Species Description: Their head is canine, mostly, with shark-like teeth (aka, all sharp curving fang-like teeth) with a few molars in the back of their jaws. They have feline eyes, and thus very good eyesight -- in fact, all their senses are excellent. They're bipeds, and stand with their spine only slightly tilted forward. They have German Shepherd-ears, longish necks, and almost humanoid arms, except for the hands. The hands can be different - either a small palm and two long, clawed fingers, or that with a finger bearing a Velociraptor's upright scythe-claw between those two "normal" fingers. A Tarok can have two normal hands, two longclawed hands, or one of each. Their torsos have deep chests and proportionally narrow waists, with a highly flexible spine, and a rib wall - that is, an oval wall of bone enclosing their vital organs. Their legs are heavily muscled and end in Velociraptor-style feet, with the longclaw (that upright one) on the inside of the paw, and two normal toes, plus a dewclaw. They have long, prehensile, powerful tails. Female tails are thicker and far stronger, and half the time will end in a scythe-like tailblade. Male tails, on the other hand, are long, incredibly fast, and always end in such a blade. They have thick, short, glossy fur as a red, tan, or black, but whites have long, dense fur.
Species Temperament: Taroks are a bit volatile, very mechanically-inclined, and technology-smart. Highly intelligent, in fact, and very keen on preserving their own hides. They're brave, willful, and often stubborn. Only tans tend to prefer peace to a good fight.
Home Planet: Genetically engineered on Aibla, but they claim Lavana as home.
